designer who lives in the next room

"It's just... I was so sleepy at noon, and then I accidentally tripped when I was going to move a stool to make a bed..." Nanako recalled what happened at noon, a little shy, "And then I lost my balance and slapped a cactus, and a particularly large and hard thorn cut my hand."

The original prickly pear?

She was a little sad because she had such a wound on Nanako's hand, and she laughed directly. If something else broke Nanako's hand, she could actually imagine it, but what the hell is a prickly pear? The plot in "Mouse"?

"Then the hand is full of thorns..." Nanako looked at her palm, there were many small wounds besides the big cut, but they have healed now, "The prickly pear is really scary. …”

After the two of them washed their bodies and left the bathroom, Li Zixi sterilized Nanako's fingers well. It wasn't until this moment that she really realized that Nanako was able to hold down her body because she cared about her body, but because her fingers were injured. .

It took three pieces of Band-Aids to cover the injured area. Li Zixi looked at Nanako's fingers, which were wrapped like rice dumplings, and felt a little happy in her heart. At least Nanako didn't have the chance to do that in the past few days. If it was If I think about it, I can count as an attack in the past few days.

After taking a shower and drying their hair, Li Zixi and Nanako simply ate some biscuits and snacks before returning to bed.The bed was warm and soft, and the two people who hadn't slept for more than 24 hours felt like they were in heaven.

Nanako took Li Zixi's hand with her hand, and was about to say a few more words to her when she heard Li Zixi's snoring.She doesn't usually grunt, probably because she is too tired today, and Li Zixi, who has just entered a deep sleep, has a very weird sleeping face now...

Listening to Li Zixi's snoring, the number of drowsiness increased exponentially again, Nanako yawned several times in a row, and finally fell asleep.

They didn't have any dreams that night, they slept very deeply, and forgot to close the door. In the middle of the night, Nana ran in and jumped on the two of them without waking them up.If Nanako hadn't remembered to set the alarm clock before going to bed, their boss would have deducted all their wages today, and each of them went to their respective companies. Both of them felt that they hadn't slept enough, but the dark circles under their eyes had disappeared, and the complexion on their faces It's also a lot stronger, and after taking a nap in the company, their spirits have recovered in the afternoon.

Li Zixi still didn't see Zhongwakai in the company, her desk was the same as yesterday, everything was in place, she asked several colleagues sitting next to her, but no one knew what was going on .

But at least I didn't hear any bad news, and Li Zixi didn't take it too seriously. Zhongshan Aoi is an adult and can handle her own affairs well. It is a person who asks himself a question, and suddenly he is not used to it.

After get off work today, she wanted to accompany Nanako to buy some tea. Li Zixi actually didn't know much about tea, but under Nanako's strong request, she decided to go with her.

Nanako had been waiting for her in the lobby of Li Zixi's company early on. Everyone who passed by her looked at her a few times, and some even wanted to ask Nanako for her contact information, but Nanako just showed them. He looked at the ring on his hand and shook his head.

"You are really popular." Witnessing the whole process of being approached, Li Zixi teased Nanako. Her colleagues didn't seem to notice that the ring on Nanako's hand was the same as her own. Their attention was completely caught by Nanako's exquisite Attracted by the face.

Nanako answered some questions asked by the girls before, such as how Nanako takes care of herself, what brand of clothes she wears and where she bought them.In order to prevent more and more people coming to strike up a conversation or ask questions, Li Zixi hurriedly pulled Nanako out of the company.

"You look like a person who is jealous because he saw his wife being approached by others." Nanako joked while being pushed by Li Zixi while covering her mouth, "You are so eager to monopolize me."

"I just want to finish shopping quickly and go home." Li Zixi rolled her eyes at Nanako, then nodded again, "And how can I not be jealous, what if you let someone else kidnap you, what should I do?"

Nanako seemed very satisfied with what Li Zixi said, she kept nodding her head, "So that's the case, my wife is really jealous."

Seeing that there was no one around, Nanako bent down while talking, and kissed Li Zixi on the mouth, "This way you can feel at ease, I only have eyes for you."

The doting-looking Nanako and the shy-looking Li Zixi were completely focused on each other, so they didn't notice Haruka Sasaki who had come out of the corner and then suddenly backed away.She forgot to take the earphones, and she was going to go back to get them, but just as she walked around the corner, she saw the scene of Nanako leaning down and kissing Li Zixi.

Although more or less felt that the relationship between these two people is not normal, the impact of seeing two women kissing is indeed a bit big, and Nanako is so beautiful in her eyes, Sasaki Haruka is actually a little jealous Pick up Li Zixi.

But she quickly calmed down, and then patted her face with her hands, "What am I thinking about, that woman is really pretty, but my sexual orientation is normal."

Sasaki Haruka thought of the rings on their hands again, and seeing their intimate behavior, the fact that Li Zixi is a girl can basically be hammered into stone.Although he was very shocked, Sasaki Haruka didn't feel disgusted at all. Now it's an open era. Marriage is free and love is free. It doesn't matter who you like to marry.

As long as the two people see eye to eye.

Haruka Sasaki looked back at the "beautiful scenery" again, and Nanako made Li Zixi happy while talking and laughing.She couldn't help worrying about Li Zixi in her heart, if the men in the company knew that she had taken over Nanako, how much jealousy would she suffer.

Watching Nanako and Li Zixi gradually walk away, Sasaki Haruka came out from the corner, packed his clothes and walked back to the company, taking away the things he left behind.

Along the way, Haruka Sasaki was thinking about what it's like for a girl to fall in love with a girl, and what it's like for a girl to do that with a girl. She made up her mind, and it seemed pretty good.But she also wears a ring on her hand, and she was married two years ago, so it seems that she has no possibility of falling in love with a girl at all.

"It's a pity." Sasaki Haruka recalled Nanako's face again in his mind, "If I can meet such a beautiful woman, I might have to go and have a relationship with her first."

Sasaki shrugged his shoulders, it is useless to say these things now.

I probably only think about these things when I am stimulated by the beautiful "scenery". After I go back, I will calm down. After all, I have a successful career and a happy family now.

The place Nanako was going to was not far from where Li Zixi worked. After walking a few streets, she came to a tea street. Even the air here smelled very strong of tea, and the whole street was very comfortable. .

With all kinds of tea leaves, Nanako didn't know which one to choose, and neither did Li Zixi.Li Zixi often drank tea when she was in China, but her parents made it and she drank it as soon as she took it. As for what kind of tea she drank, Li Zixi didn't know at all.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Tea sellers often meet tea buyers who don't understand tea at all, so they usually ask a lot of questions to help customers find the tea they need.

Tea is actually the same as people. People with different personalities like to drink different teas. These tea merchants can easily determine the tea to sell based on the needs of customers.

"Let me think about it..." Nanako thought for a long time, she felt that the jasmine tea she drank yesterday tasted very good, but that tea was a little too sweet, and she wanted to change to a lighter one, "That's right The taste is a little lighter, and then you can make a big cup at a time without adding water frequently."

Volume [-] #Nanako's Buried Potential

"You mean the kind of tea that is suitable for brewing a large cup at a time?" The clerk reflected for a while before she understood Nanako's meaning. In fact, she didn't want to fill the cup every now and then because she was lazy, and what Li Zixi said " Kung Fu tea" is not suitable for drinking at work.

So Nanako thought about buying a large thermos cup, soaking it directly in a large jar, and then storing water after inserting a jar to drink, which saves trouble and effort.

"Yes." Nanako nodded, she was a little sober and the clerk understood what she meant, after all, she herself didn't know what she just expressed.

The clerk put away all the teas recommended to Nanako before. Those were not suitable for drinking at work, and most of them belonged to the category of "Kung Fu tea".Immediately afterwards, the clerk took a few pancake-like things from the shelf and placed them in front of Nanako.

"This is called Pu'er tea." The clerk explained to Nanako, "After many processes, it was pressed into tea cakes, so that the taste of Pu'er tea can be preserved and moisture-proof to the maximum."

It was the first time Nanako saw tea packaged in this way, she picked up a piece with great interest and weighed it in her hand.The tea cake is quite heavy, and it looks like there is a lot of tea.But the tea was wrapped in white wrapping paper, Nanako couldn't smell the tea even if she got close.

In the end, the clerk took out an opened tea cake from his cabinet, which belonged to the same Pu'er tea as Nanako's. He handed the opened tea cake to Nanako, and Nanako smelled the smell of Pu'er tea.

It smells very light, and has a tea fragrance that is different from other teas, but Nanako also thinks this smell is very good.

"Let me brew some tea for you two. After all, you can't just smell the tea with your nose." As he spoke, he used a tea knife to pry a small piece off the tea cake, and put them into Nanako and Li Zixi respectively. into the glass, and then add hot water to it, "The taste of tea is always felt with the mouth."

Nanako looked at the piece of Pu-erh tea that was thrown into the cup, it was a little bigger than the thumbnail, so she was very different. Is it because this kind of tea is very expensive, and the tasting is only for such a small amount Can you taste it?

The clerk seemed to understand the meaning of Nanako's expression, so he explained to her, "Don't worry, this tea is not expensive. I only put a small piece in your cup because the tea is very strong. , just a little bit is very rich.”

Nanako stared at her cup suspiciously. The piece of Pu'er tea in it quickly absorbed the hot water and then swelled, and was soon soaked out of color.After a few minutes, the small piece of Pu'er tea was divided into small strips of tea leaves, covering the entire bottom of the cup.

And the cup of boiling water was also dyed dark green at this time, and a strong tea fragrance rushed over.

Only then did Nanako remember what the clerk said before, "The tea leaves are compressed together", it seems that she underestimated this small piece of tea leaves.

When the temperature was a little cooler, Nanako picked up the cup and took a sip. In an instant, an aroma completely different from other teas spread into the mouth and nasal cavity. The taste was slightly bitter but more sweet, with a hint of bitterness and A trace of sweetness appeared continuously, and Nanako even felt that a symphony was playing in her mouth.

This kind of taste is very strange, the bitterness of this tea is not strong, and the sweetness is not as strong as jasmine tea, the two flavors are very intertwined.

"It's delicious." Nanako couldn't help saying, she looked at the cup of dark green liquid in her hand, and then said to Li Zixi, "Try this, does it taste a little like Longjing tea?"

Li Zixi shook her head, Longjing tea is a bit lighter and more bitter than this one, Li Zixi doesn't like the taste of Longjing tea very much, but this Pu'er tea doesn't give her the feeling that Nanako feels, she just thinks the taste of this tea It is slightly different from other teas.

Compared to brewed tea leaves, Li Zixi still prefers tea drinks like barley tea.

"And this tea is more in line with your requirements." The clerk continued after seeing Nanako's satisfied expression. He pointed to a whole piece of tea cake, "You can break off a small piece of this tea and throw it into the cup every time. Soak it in boiling water, this kind of tea can be steeped for quite a long time."

"This kind of tea is originally the kind of tea that needs to be boiled and drunk with a kettle, so it is not a problem even if it is kept in a thermos." The clerk continued to tell Nanako some information about Pu'er tea, "But pay attention to , you don’t wait to drink all the tea in the cup before storing water, you should leave one-third to one-fourth of the amount every time, if you wait until you drink all the tea before pouring water, the tea will not be brewed It smells."

Nanako kept what the clerk said firmly in her heart, paid the money and took the tea cakes to another shop selling thermos cups happily, picked one she liked and took it away with her.

Li Zixi saw a lot of delicious things along the way, but today she never thought about buying them, because she remembered that Nanako said that she didn't have much money left, and her salary would not be paid until next month.

This tea seems to be the only thing Nanako bought for herself during this period of time. Thinking of this, Li Zixi, who was a little embarrassed, gave up the idea of ​​eating snacks.

She and Nanako ransacked the house side by side, Nanako looked very happy holding the tea, the smile on her face also infected Li Zixi's face, looking at Nanako's side face for a while, Li Zixi also laughed.

"Are you so happy to buy a tea?" Li Zixi asked Nanako while smiling, it was quite rare for Nanako to hum a song while walking.

"Of course, whoever buys what they want will be unhappy." Nanako even put cute words in her words, which would not fit her image of a 30-year-old soon.

Li Zixi knocked on Nanako, wanting her to be normal, Nanako seemed to notice that the way she spoke was out of her usual self, so she cleared her throat and returned to her mature appearance.

Although Nanako looked cute just now, Li Zixi still prefers to walk with the more mature Nanako. After all, when two people are together, it should be Li Zixi who is cute and cute.

"By the way, why did you suddenly want to drink tea?" Li Zixi looked at the tea leaves in Nanako's hands, she couldn't remember the last time Nanako drank tea, it seemed that it was the time when she went home with her, Li Zixi The tea her mother made when she received her.

"Because I was very sleepy yesterday, so I asked my senior for some tea, because I heard that tea can refresh me, and what he gave me was jasmine tea, which tastes good and refreshes me, and I probably already drink coffee as an energy drink I have developed an antibody." Nanako told Li Zixi about her feelings when she drank tea yesterday, and Li Zixi's face was full of disbelief.

"Why can you taste such subtle changes? The nose is a dog's nose. What about the tongue? What kind of animal has a very powerful tongue?" Li Zixi teased Nanako. If Nanako's tongue is really so powerful, then she should really go As a food critic, when she heard Li Zixi's ridicule, Nanako was not in a hurry to go back. She thought for a while, then leaned to Li Zixi's side with a smirk on her face, and whispered in her ear, "If you don't believe me I can't help but taste such subtle taste changes, but think about it, who reached the peak after being licked by me for a few minutes?"

"I...you...shut up!" Li Zixi's face instantly turned red like an apple, and she reached out to hit Nanako, but the latter easily dodged it, seeing her words Making Li Zixi so angry, Nanako, who jumped to the side, still stuck out her tongue at Li Zixi and made a licking motion.

"That's enough..." Li Zixi turned her head to one side. She was licked to death by Nanako that day. I have to say that Nanako's tongue is really flexible. The kind of person who knots, "I admit that you have a strong tongue, so stop talking."

"Haha, you still have a long way to go when it comes to bickering." Nanako was very proud, she enjoyed the excitement of bickering and winning, but she still didn't forget to reach out and rub Li Zixi's head, "Okay, okay , I’m kidding you, I won’t talk about it.”

Hearing Nanako's apology, Li Zixi pouted and turned her head back. She continued to ask Nanako, "Didn't you drink jasmine tea at your senior's place? Then why didn't you continue to drink it?"

"Good question." Nanako gave Li Zixi a thumbs up, "Jasmine tea is delicious, but it's a little too sweet for me, and the taste of this Pu'er tea is more suitable for me, and it's just bought in the store. When I tasted the tea, only this Pu'er tea really surprised me."

What Nanako said is correct, jasmine tea is indeed sweeter than Pu'er tea, this is the information Li Zixi found in the store with her mobile phone, but the taste should be very subtle, so Nanako can taste the subtle taste on her tongue The change is real, I never thought that drinking tea could stimulate a buried potential in her...

Wouldn't Nanako be able to taste a slight change in her body in the future...

"I said you..." Li Zixi shook her head, got rid of that terrible thought, and then continued to say to Nanako, "Are you really not going to be a food critic...with your tongue, You're sure to have a better future as a food critic than you are at a newspaper."

"I don't like the feeling of being interviewed all the time, I prefer the feeling of talking in the newspaper..." Nanako really answered Li Zixi's question seriously, "So I'd better stay at the newspaper office. "

Volume [-] #Going HomeLicense

Hot water was poured into the thermos cup filled with tea leaves, and a strong tea fragrance wafted from it in an instant. Nanako was very satisfied with the smell, so she tightened the thermos cup tightly and put it in her bag.

Today is another new day, so we must work hard with all our energy.

Nanako didn't know why she was in such a good mood today, but a good mood is better than a bad mood, so she went out after saying goodbye to Li Zixi.

Nanako originally wanted to help Li Zixi buy a thermos, but now it’s summer, Li Zixi really doesn’t want to drink some hot water in such a temperature, and she likes tea drinks instead of tea water, so she rejected Nanako proposal.

From the apartment to the bus station, Li Zixi can be said to be familiar with the road even with her eyes closed, provided that she doesn't bump into anyone or get hit by anything on the road.

Counting today, Li Zixi has been working in the design company for 20 days. During this time, she has gradually learned how to survive in the society, understood the company's business model, and started to try to do some things with the help of Sasaki Haruka. Small room, small landscape design.

Similar to some loft apartments and the microscopic landscape in the corner of the park, Haruka Sasaki gradually realized the advantages and disadvantages of Li Zixi in these designs. She is very good at outdoor landscape design. Whether it is the sense of space or the layout of flowers, plants and stone bridges, a small area can It gives people a sense of transparency, and the color matching is also very harmonious.

But when Li Zixi was doing interior design, she seemed a little bit powerless. In college, she and a classmate completed a graduation design together. Her classmate wrote a thesis on interior design methods, while Li Zixi focused on outdoors, so she The knowledge reserve for outdoor design and landscaping is much more than that for indoor.

Although Haruka Sasaki very much hoped that Li Zixi would be an all-round designer, but haste makes waste in this kind of thing, and Haruka Sasaki did not intend to push Li Zixi back.As for Li Zixi's ability in outdoor landscaping, Sasaki Haruka planned to let her start to participate more in the work of the outdoor landscaping design team, so that she could gradually practice in actual work.

It was only ten o'clock in the morning when Li Zixi was called to the office by Sasaki Haruka.For her own shortcomings, Li Zixi accepted it very humbly, but she was very excited about what Sasaki Haruka said when she praised her.

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity." Li Zixi quickly thanked Sasaki Haruka, and almost knocked her head on the table, so scared that Sasaki Haruka quickly stood up and held her down.

"You shouldn't thank me, and you shouldn't thank yourself. I didn't give you these jobs because I took good care of you, a person from abroad." Sasaki saw that Li Zixi's emotions had recovered a little, and she could sit comfortably in the chair After getting up, she returned to her seat with peace of mind. She continued to talk to Li Zixi, "I see that you have performed well recently, so I let you do activities with the outdoor design team. I think you should know what to do next. do it?"

Li Zixi nodded, and now she is asked to work with the outdoor working group as a person who has just joined the company for less than a month. It is definitely not for her to advise the members. Sasaki Haruka is just helping her better integrate into the future needs. among the people you deal with.

"That's good." Now that Li Zixi understands what she means, Sasaki Haruka has nothing to worry about. She still has some work to do next, so she told Li Zixi, "If there is nothing else, you can go back to work. .”

But Li Zixi didn't leave, Sasaki Haruka had already started to sort out the list, but raised his head to look at Li Zixi.Li Zixi's face was somewhat nervous at this moment, it seemed that she had some difficult words to say?

"What's the matter? Do you have something to tell me..." Sasaki asked Li Zixi, "Did the person who lives with you make you angry again?"

It shouldn't be like this, she saw Li Zixi and her cohabitant kissing so intimately on the main road yesterday, but this was the only problem she could think of.

"No, it's not like that... She hasn't provoked me much recently." Li Zixi shook her head and scratched her face. She knew that she would be annoying if she continued to behave like this, so she looked at Haruka Sasaki Eyes, "Well, at the end of this month, can I take a period of leave, that I need to go home for a while..."

"I know it's very rude to ask for leave not long after I just came to the company...but oh, I really need to go home for a while." Sasaki Haruka was angry after hearing her request.

Sure enough, Sasaki Haruka fell silent after listening to Li Zixi's words, but she was not angry, she was just weighing the pros and cons.Li Zixi has just come to the company not long ago, she has no tasks, even if she is allowed to go home for a while, it doesn't matter, but considering that Li Zixi has only worked here for 20 days, if she is given a fake, will other people be dissatisfied? .

Sasaki Haruka was also caught in a dilemma, but she suddenly remembered that Li Zixi was Chinese, that is to say, she would not be allowed to ask for leave to go home at this time unless something happened at home that required her to go home, and Li Zixi's work during this time She has always been serious, even if she is asked to go to the field to buy things, she will do it meticulously. If she is given a lie, others seem to have nothing to say.

And Sasaki Haruka himself is a kind person.

So she asked Li Zixi, "Are things serious at home?"

Li Zixi shook her head, "It's not particularly serious...just... just some things that I have to do...my family..."

Li Zixi stopped in the middle of her speech, she had no way to continue talking about what was going on at home, Sasaki Haruka was a little distressed, Li Zixi's complexion was very bad, she thought Li Zixi was too sad to speak, But Li Zixi couldn't continue talking because she didn't know how to make it up later.

That's right, Li Zixi was lying, the reason she went home was because she was homesick, and her mother also said that she wanted to get Nanako, but if she told Haruka Sasaki like this, no matter how nice she was, she would never agree with her went home.

"I'm really sorry..." Li Zixi decided to pretend to be pitiful to the end, and now there is no turning back.

Sasaki Haruka, kept in the dark, sighed, "How many days off do you need?"

"If it's possible, can it be half a month..." Li Zixi asked tentatively, she originally wanted 20 days, but she was afraid that if she said that, she would be kicked out of the house by Sasaki.

"Half a month...it's quite a long time." Haruka Sasaki looked at her schedule. She originally planned to ask Li Zixi to go to a natural park with the outdoor design team early next month, but now When she got up, she had to postpone the time when she went out for the first time to investigate, "But it doesn't matter, after all, the family is big, and everyone will have time to go back home, so I agree to give you a vacation."

Hearing that Sasaki Haruka agreed to her, Li Zixi finally relaxed. She was very excited but her face still couldn't have a happy expression. If she asked for leave with such a reason, if she laughed again, she would definitely be ruined.

"Thank you..." Li Zixi bowed to Sasaki Haruka again to thank her, but she grasped her sense of proportion and didn't almost bang her head on the table again.

"Don't thank me in a hurry." Haruka Sasaki shook his head, "You will be absent for 15 days next month, so you can only get 40% of your salary."

Li Zixi blinked her eyes and calculated, the next month will be exactly 30 days, and she will be absent from half of the work, why is there still 10% less?She was about to ask Haruka Sasaki when her boss explained it to her.

"The 10% decrease is because the work that was originally entrusted to you has to be done by others. The income and expenditure must be balanced, understand?" Sasaki Haruka is actually lying to Li Zixi, as long as Li Zixi comes back on time next month She would still give Li Zixi the remaining half of the money, she just wanted to see how Li Zixi would react when he was treated unfairly.

She originally thought that Li Zixi would talk to her in theory before giving up, but after listening to her explanation, Li Zixi just shook her head. There was no expression of dissatisfaction on her face, but a smile on the contrary, "Isn't that right?" Wrong, Sister Sasaki, I really should get some rewards for letting others do my work for me."

After listening to Li Zixi's words, Sasaki Haruka looked at her in surprise, and after a long time she burst out laughing, she knew that Li Zixi was cute, but she didn't expect her to be so funny, Sasaki Haruka looked up and down Li Zixi couldn't help thinking in her heart, if only there were more kind people like this in this world.
