Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 10 It’s okay if I say yes!
Today, Xia Zhi was the first student to arrive in the classroom. As usual, he said nothing and sat silently reading, as if knowledge was the priceless treasure he wanted most in the universe.

However, there are always people in this world who cannot read the atmosphere. Xia Zhi, who was obsessed with studying, was suddenly pulled out of the sea of ​​books by someone saying "Good morning, classmate Xia Zhi."

It was Baishi Lihua who came to school a little later than Xia Zhi, impeccably dressed as usual, and flawlessly elegant.Although he deserves to die for disturbing his study, but the other party is a classmate, so he can't really do anything excessive.

"Good morning."

Xia Zhi replied simply.There is nothing to talk about with the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. Is it possible that she will still give you money?Just keep a minimum of politeness, don't get too close, and don't get too distant.Distance produces beauty, isolation produces magnesium.

Shiraishi Rika was choked by Xia Zhi's "Good morning" without any emotion, and she could directly feel the meaning of the word polite. None of the topics she had thought of last night could be said calmly in this context. come out.It’s really difficult to deal with, Chinese students.

Shiraishi Rika sat back in her seat, randomly picked up a book and placed it on the table. After casually turning a page, she lowered her head to read.Of course, reading is just an illusion. She is observing Xia Zhi and looking for a topic and opportunity to talk to him.

When she noticed that what Xia Zhi was looking at was mathematics, she felt that she would try the old method first. If she couldn’t think of a way for the time being, it’s better to try the method that has already failed. Maybe you can find it by changing your thinking. The way to break the game.This is one of the precious life experiences summed up by her mother.

This time, she found a relatively simple example that the teacher explained in class yesterday, found the easy-to-make mistakes, and walked towards Xia Zhi after she was well prepared.

"Xia Zhi-san, can you excuse me for a moment?"

Shiraishi Rika was still polite and tried to make her words more approachable.It's a pity that although she has changed, the direction of her efforts has no effect on conquering Xia Zhi.

"what's up?"

Xia Zhi's unwavering tone made Shiraishi Rika feel like she was talking to an artificial intelligence.

"This is the question...I can't get it right no matter how I calculate it."

Shiraishi Lihua endured her embarrassment and humbly asked Xia Zhi for advice. Xia Zhi didn't pay attention to his expression. She glanced at the question and her expression became strange.

"You...you didn't attend class yesterday, did you?"

"Uh……"

Shiraishi Rika was speechless.

"Teacher Sasaki will cry. She taught this question seriously for the whole class..."

"……terribly sorry."

Why should I apologize?Shiraishi Lihua thought so.

Xia Zhi took out the scratch paper and pen and started directly from the first step, taking apart each step carefully, just like a real teacher.Seeing Xia Zhi continue to do every step as she knew in her heart, although Bai Shi Lihua was smiling, she felt a little bored in her heart.Do you think Guan Gong is boring when he shows off his sword in front of him?

"Okay, that's all what Mr. Sasaki said yesterday. If you still feel that there is a problem, you can try my solution."

Shiraishi Rika, who was wandering in a daze due to boredom, came back to her senses and looked at Xia Zhi with some surprise.

"Another solution? Does Xia Zhi know it?"

There is no shortage of geniuses in this world, but when geniuses appear around you, there is not much real sense.But a good person will not deny a person, especially without knowing that person. Prejudice means mistakes, and mistakes means failure.

Excellent people do not necessarily need to have strong abilities, but reducing the occurrence of mistakes is an essential quality of excellent people.

"It is said to be a solution, but it is just a wild method of verification. It can only be used to check the results. If you write it in the answer column, you will be deducted. However, after knowing the results, you can use it to reverse the steps. It is also a way to solve the problem. Well."

Xia Zhi said in a plain tone, and then demonstrated what he called a wild path on the scratch paper, and the answer he got was exactly the same as the answer to the question.Could it be a coincidence?Xia Zhi answered this question for her with the answers to the other two questions.

"Xia Zhi-san is so awesome..."

Shiraishi Reika sighed sincerely.

"No, this method has been used in Chinese schools for a long time."

"Eh? I've never heard of this method. If it's been used for a long time, Sasaki-sensei should know about it."

Baishi Lihua was puzzled.

"I don't know why, this method can completely give the correct answer to this type of question, but there is no scientific basis for it, at least no reliable basis has been found yet. In other words, this solution is wrong, so there is no need Promotion, it is not too late to promote it after thorough research. As for Mr. Sasaki, he may know it. But teaching students this half-baked method is not what a teacher does."

Xia Zhi explained.In fact, when contacting and using unknown things, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.If there is no problem now, it does not mean that there will be no problem in the future, right?
Shiraishi Lihua nodded and accepted this statement.

"Thank you, Xia Zhi, for teaching me this method."

"Just call me Xia Zhi." Xia Zhi waved his hand.

"...Okay then, Xia Zhitong...Xia Zhijun." She blinked her eyes, not used to changing her words yet.

"This method, you'd better not tell anyone else. If anyone relies on this to be lazy, there will be problems during the exam."

Xia Zhi expressed his worries.

"Then Xia Zhijun isn't worried about me using this method to be lazy?"

Shiraishi Rika was curious, but Natsuki gave the answer naturally.

"As for Shiraishi-san, I guess not. You continue to use this method even though you know it is wrong. This is not the way top students do things. Well, although your image was a bit compromised when you asked me this question just now."

"A top student... It's such an uncomfortable name."

"...You're really weird. Others want to be top students but can't." Xia Zhi rolled his eyes.

"But the word "honor student" sounds like a label, doesn't it? And I hate labels."

Xia Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry when she saw Shiraishi Rika, who was almost completely synonymous with top students, saying such words.

After a moment of silence, Shiraishi Lihua smiled.

"Speaking of which, Xia Zhijun still calls me Shiraishi-kun. You asked me to call you Xia Zhi."

"No... Xia Zhi is my full name. Have you forgotten that I am a Chinese student? This is my most recognizable label at present. Don't tear it off so easily."

Xia Zhi corrected it seriously, completely ignoring Baishi Lihua's face that suddenly became stiff again.

"In short!" Shiraishi Rika excitedly clapped her hands on Xia Zhi's table and made a loud sound, "Xia Zhijun can just call me by my name from now on!"

"No, calling names or something...isn't it a good idea?"

Xia Zhi vaguely remembered that matching names seemed to be a relatively important matter.Even relatives and friends are sometimes called by their last name instead of their first name.

"I say yes!" Baishi Lihua suddenly became strong, and Xia Zhi was a little at a loss.

"Then... Lihua?" Xia Zhi called tentatively, and Shiraishi Lihua nodded with satisfaction.

Then, Baishi Lihua was stunned.Xia Zhi secretly complained that nothing good would happen.

"Xia Zhijun, are we friends now?"

"Well, I guess." Generally speaking, someone who can have normal conversations and conversations is considered a friend.Oh, that’s Passerby A. If you’re a friend, you need to keep in touch.However, since the two of them are in the same class, it doesn't matter whether they contact each other or not.

"Then, let's exchange email addresses!"

It’s just an exchange of emails, what’s so exciting?Xia Zhi looked at Shiraishi Rika with sparkling eyes in confusion and nodded.

Because there is no such thing as text messaging in Japan, text messages are delivered by email.Exchanging email addresses is actually no different from exchanging phone numbers.

Gee, Penguin is easier to use.When will Lao Ma become popular...

"Yoxi!" Bai Shi Lihua clenched her small fists.

Xia Zhi wanted to pry open the island girl's head to see what was inside.

"I'll go over to Xia Zhijun first, and we'll talk at noon." Baishi Lihua left with a smile, but Xia Zhi always felt that her smile was a little different than the original mechanical smile.

"Hmm...an illusion, right?" Xia Zhi didn't think about it. It would be better to say that he was too lazy to think about it so much, and it was useless anyway.So he continued to read, and nothing could disturb his high spirit of learning.

Shiraishi Rika was sitting in her seat, in a good mood, almost humming a song.

Today can really be said to be a fruitful harvest!

Unexpectedly, using the old method, we ended up talking to each other, and not only that, we also became friends!
Sure enough, mother’s life experience is a very useful and precious thing!

The problem that had been bothering her for almost a month was solved!Shiraishi Lihua was very satisfied.Although I said some digressions in the middle that I shouldn’t have said, the final result was still good and the process was acceptable, so the goal has been achieved!

And I also learned a new problem-solving method.Although it cannot be regarded as an answer, it is still very useful.So today is basically a bumper harvest!

Shiraishi Reika folded her hands and lay on the table.

The classroom door was pushed open, and in came Ryoko Yamamoto.

"Good morning! Xia Zhi."

"Oh, good morning."

"It's still the same cold reaction as always."

But Yamamoto Ryoko didn't care and walked towards her seat.Then he saw Rika Shiraishi lying on the table.

It's rare for Lihua to be lazy sometimes.The thought of playing a prank came to Ryoko Yamamoto's mind, and she quietly walked into Shiraishi Rika. Before she could stretch out her prank hand, she heard the creepy laughter of "Hey hey hey hey..." coming from Shiraishi Rika.

Ryoko Yamamoto’s hand felt like a savior in golden clothes shouted “Smash Varudo!” ] also stopped in mid-air.

Ryoko Yamamoto was frightened.
