Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 17 I have no intention of falling in love.

After studying peacefully until the noon break, Xia Zhi was ready to enjoy the fruits of his labor this morning.He glanced at Shiraishi Rika thoughtfully, watching her take out the lunch box that looked high enough, imagining what kind of rich and delicious food it contained.

After looking at it for a second or two, he suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head repeatedly, shook the thought of eating and drinking out of his head, curled his lips, opened his lunch box, and looked at the tasteless lunch.

Human beings are such greedy creatures.

On the other side, Shiraishi Rika took out her lunch box in an ordinary way, opened the lid in an ordinary way, picked up her chopsticks, and was about to eat.Yamamoto Ryoko picked up the lunch box and stood up. When she looked back, she had an extremely shocked expression on her face.

"Lihua, are you serious!?"

"Ah!?"

Shiraishi Rika, who was holding out her chopsticks in front of the delicious meal, was stunned by Yamamoto Ryoko's question and looked at her friend in confusion.Seeing this, Ryoko Yamamoto burst into flames, a fire called anxiety.

"Why are you eating alone!?"

Faced with questions from her friends, Lihua was at a loss.

Is there anything wrong with eating during lunch break?
"Ryoko, aren't you in front of me?"

"So, why did you start eating first? Why didn't you go find Xia Zhijun with you?"

Yamamoto Ryoko was surprised by Lihua's ultimate operation, and her speech was a little inconsistent.

"Why do you have to go to Xia Zhijun to eat?"

"Is it fake? Lihua, are you teasing me on purpose?" Ryoko's expression of disbelief could not calm down for a long time. Even she, a self-taught love expert from comic books, had never seen such a powerful way of love operation.

"Why am I teasing you? So why do you want to go to Xia Zhijun for dinner?" There was a puzzled expression on his face that didn't seem to be fake.

"...Lihua, you are really difficult to deal with..."

"Listen to me, if you want to have a good relationship with others in this situation..."

"You will lose his favor if you do this..."

"I've never seen you do this before..."

"We must seize the opportunity and proceed step by step..."

Shiraishi Rika listened blankly for a while, then realized what Ryoko wanted to say. She wanted to refute but didn't know how to interrupt the aggressive Yamamoto Ryoko, so she could only say weakly: "Ryoko, I don't intend to fall in love."

After hearing this, Ryoko Yamamoto sneered twice: "Do you think I will believe you?"

"I don't think..."

What went wrong?Shiraishi Rika thought about the source of the problem.

However, Xia Zhi on the other side had already finished half of the bento.After putting the food cooked by the five-star chef out of his mind, Xia Zhi gradually began to appreciate the deliciousness of the food again. He had already figured out that a creature like a five-star chef was rare, and if you were lucky enough to eat it once, that would be enough...

Although it is a pity, Xia Zhi has decided to give up.After all, he is not a real foodie. To ask him to pay a large amount of money for a delicious meal, this young man who can only make ends meet by working part-time in a foreign country cannot make such a decision that requires courage.

While eating, the girl at the front desk walked in from outside the classroom and found Xia Zhi who was eating.

"Natsuchi-kun, Teacher Sakuraba asked you to go to the staff office to find her."

"Teacher Sakuraba? Me?"

Xia Zhi pointed at himself.Have I done anything bad recently?no.no……

Xia Zhi suddenly thought that as a foreign student, it seemed possible that he did something unintentionally that was not in line with the local customs... I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

"Okay, I see. Sorry to trouble you."

"You're welcome." The girl sat back in her seat and played with her phone.

Xia Zhi looked at the few lunch boxes left. After eating a few big mouthfuls, he put the lunch box away and walked out of the classroom.The school's staff office is not very close. There are dedicated rooms on a dedicated floor, while the staff office of Xia Zhi's school is in another building. To walk from Xia Zhi's classroom, you need to pass through the club classroom. Most of the floors, but only the third floor, are classrooms that are not in use due to various reasons.

Relying on his memory, Xia Zhi came to the staff office, knocked on the door, said "Excuse me" and walked in.There were several teachers talking in the office. When they saw Xia Zhi pushing the door open, they all said hello, and Xia Zhi responded one by one.These are teachers who can be seen often, and Xia Zhi is relatively familiar with them.

"Hello, Mr. Shirai, hello, Mr. Murakami..."

And in a small isolated corner of the office, a hand was waving towards him.

"Xia Zhijun, here, here!"

"Hello, Teacher Sakuraba." Xia Zhi walked over and said hello.

"Sit down. Here's your tea."

"Thank you."

Taking the disposable paper cup from the class teacher Sakuraba Megumi, Xia Zhi asked.

"Mr. Sakuraba, what do you want from me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to see how your life is going recently. After all, it's not easy to come here alone and work part-time." Teacher Sakuraba said with concern while drinking tea.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's been a semester, and everyone has adapted well. It's different from high school in China, but it's actually relatively relaxed." Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then gave the answer.

"Really, that's good." Teacher Sakuraba took another sip of tea, "After all, I am your nominal guardian now, and you move out alone, I have to ensure your safety."

"Excuse me."

For Teacher Sakuraba, Xia Zhi is actually very grateful.For minor foreign students living abroad alone, they need a legal guardian to deal with various problems that may arise for minors.Teacher Sakuraba is Natsuki's person in charge in Japan.

Originally, Xia Zhi was supposed to live in Teacher Sakuraba's home, but Xia Zhi finally refused because Teacher Sakuraba seemed to have a boyfriend she was passionately in love with.Although she didn't care, Xia Zhi thought about it and finally decided to move out and live alone.

"If you need any help, you can come to me and I will help you as much as possible. At least I have to complete my studies."

"Okay, if I need to trouble Teacher Sakuraba with anything, I will definitely come back to you to help me."

Xia Zhi said politely, he was not really prepared to trouble this kind teacher, even if he was in trouble.But the biggest reason is that the teenager doesn't want to seek help from someone he doesn't know well when he is in trouble, especially if this person is a teacher...

Although some teachers often say that they can talk to them if they have any problems, I am afraid that not many actually go to talk to the teacher. Unless they are really desperate, I believe that few students will try this kind of suffocation operation, and the problem Once we get to this point, most of them are already difficult to solve...

The content of the conversation was very ordinary, just like a teacher caring about a student, and it ended quickly.There was still a lot of time left, so Xia Zhi decided to retrace his steps and walked slowly back to the classroom.

Walking on the unused club classroom floor, the sound of guitar playing came from the place that should have been deserted.Xia Zhi was surprised. He had visited the school's music club. Their activity classroom should be next to the old music classroom on the second floor, because they often used the music classroom to practice, but who would do it in the short time of noon? Come here to practice during your break?

Although this high school does have arts and crafts classes, people who spend even a short period of time practicing guitar at noon would not come to this school.

Xia Zhi, very curious.

He walked around looking for the sound, and finally found the source of the sound in a storage room similar to a classroom. The sound of strumming guitar strings had become very clear. Xia Zhi also faintly heard the voice of a girl singing. Fuzzy, but nice to hear.Curiosity drove Xia Zhi to slightly open the classroom door and peek inside. He found a girl sitting on a chair, playing a guitar in her hand.

"Summer is like a glow, and the breeze brings the warm fragrance of flowers..."

"I stand in this flower field, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds..."

Although Xia Zhi has never heard of this song, it doesn't mean that he doesn't appreciate it.Perhaps he is not like those in the industry who can feel the picture being painted from the sound of the piano, or feel something strange from the singing. To appreciate music, all he needs to do is sound like it.

The girl was playing and looking at the sheet music on the table in front of her. She was trying to exercise herself.Xia Zhi watched for a while and then quietly closed the door. It was not a commendable behavior to disturb others while they were practicing.

However, even though he closed the door "quietly", judging from the "bang", the result was obviously not that satisfactory.Xia Zhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Why was the door of a semi-abandoned music classroom so well lubricated?Even the new music classroom that is still in use is not so good.

"what……!?"

The girl in the room screamed, obviously frightened by the sound of the door closing.Xia Zhi curled her lips, opened the door again, and pulled it to the end with a slight pull. How on earth is this door maintained...

"Sorry, I was so fascinated by your singing that I accidentally disturbed you."

Xia Zhicheng apologized sincerely, with a hint of praise in his words. The apology technique commonly used by the Chinese people can effectively weaken the target's anger. It is actually a must-have skill for students studying abroad.

"You, you, you, you... since when did you start there..."

The girl's hand pointing at Xia Zhi was trembling, and the hair tied on her head shook with her body.

"Ah... from the summer sun, the breeze..."

"Ahhhhhhh! That's basically the same as being there from the beginning!"

"..."

"Why is there someone here at this time! I obviously waited until this time to come here..."

The girl slowly backed away while holding the guitar, covering her face with the upper part of the guitar.Xia Zhi watched the girl approach the corner with black lines on her head.
