Chiba Salted Fish Legend

Chapter 52 Is it better to be sweeter or saltier...

Facts have proved that Xia Zhi was indeed a little tired yesterday, and it was rare for Xia Zhi to go to bed early.Then came Saturday, which felt like nothing special.Even if it only takes half a day of class, Natsuki has to work from noon to evening today. She doesn't have to be so busy originally, but since the last time Shiraishi Rika and Yamamoto Ryoko went to the store, the store manager has So said:

"Xia Zhi. From now on, I won't come on Sundays. I'll give you a holiday every Sunday."

"Eh? Why?"

"I'm thinking it's time for you to go out and play more. If you spend Sundays working, you won't have much time to have a girlfriend."

"Oh, no. I wasn't planning on having a girlfriend. If my parents knew that I had a girlfriend in high school, they would fly over, break my legs and take me back to China."

"...Xia Zhijun, I am glad now that I am Japanese and not Chinese."

"The reason why you feel lucky is really useless..."

Xia Zhi complained to him, and the store manager became angry in an instant.

"What's life like in high school without love!? I think you all only think about studying, so you're still just a bunch of singles after graduating from high school."

Xia Zhi almost spit out a mouthful of blood and wanted to refute him, but he felt that the defense he could think of at that time was a bit weak.Like a loser's cry.

"I think your coffee shop is running into a deficit, so you want to pay less..."

"I really will pay you less."

Although wages for part-time workers are settled based on time, the store manager will give workers corresponding evaluations and then increase or decrease their wages.This is nothing but normal.

All in all, Sunday, which was supposed to be spent fulfillingly at work, has become so idle.Originally, the store manager seemed to be more straightforward and let go of Saturdays, but Xia Zhi refused to agree.In addition to feeling sorry for himself, another point is that he really doesn't know what to do if he doesn't work...

Look, this is what the daily life of a single person should be like.

It may sound a bit sad, but Xia Zhi will never admit it.

However, compared to Sunday, Saturday may be busier. I don’t know the specific reason, but there are indeed more guests on Saturday than Sunday.Although this is the case, Xia Zhi is still a little worried about whether the store manager can handle it alone. After all, the two of them were a little reluctant before.

As for Mayumi Maeda... Natsuki felt that if the store manager decided to give Natsuki a day, he would probably give Mayumi the same treatment.However, wages are calculated based on working hours, so there is no loss at all.

Xia Zhi walked into the deserted campus as always. The disciplinary committee members who gathered together cast their eyes on him again, and then dispersed unknowingly.The Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee who was hanging around also looked at him deeply, but made no other moves, and then turned his attention to the street in front of the school gate.

Xia Zhi walked into the classroom and read a book as usual.

The door was pulled open, and Xia Zhi was used to this kind of opening.

"Good morning."

"Which is better, sweeter or saltier..."

Shiraishi Rika murmured to herself, and Xia Zhi blinked.I don’t know why, Shiraishi Rika’s reaction was somewhat different from her own cognition.Did you encounter any troubles?Xia Zhi thought so, but he just thought about it. He had no intention of coming forward to talk.

Think about it for a moment. If you have known a classmate for less than two weeks, especially a male or female classmate, would you see the other person showing a troubled expression and then run over to talk to her and ask for help? ?Do you think this is a light novel?
In real life, even if you are helping people, you are qualified to say so.If a girl has troubles, the first person she will find will probably be her best friend. If she has a boyfriend, she may find her boyfriend, because they are all very close people and are qualified to help her. Obtain your own permission, and then complete the memorable scenes in your life with their help.However, if someone else comes, the effect may not be certain.

When you encounter trouble that you cannot solve on your own, would you rather it be your relatives and friends who come to help you, or a stranger who is unfamiliar with each other?The answer must be the former, right?Because everyone is familiar with each other, all the hard-to-say things can be said more or less. From this point of view, the efficiency of solving problems is better than that of a stranger.

And if a stranger you don’t know suddenly comes to you and says he wants to help you, wouldn’t you think this person is suspicious?They will think about what other intentions she/he has, or they don't really want to trouble an unknown person, and then they will refuse these help which may be sincere or false.

The idea of ​​​​helping others is good, but in fact, there are many things to pay attention to when taking action.The most obvious example is that after a girl is injured, there are two rescuers, one male and one female. If nothing else happens, the female must be the one, right?This is etiquette.

As for qualifications.Xia Zhishang doesn't think he has any qualifications to interfere in other people's troubles.When Ryoko Yamamoto comes, she may tell her that that is the best way to solve the problem.

"Ah, sorry, Xia Zhijun. Good morning."

Baishi Lihua, who suddenly came to her senses, greeted Xia Zhi in embarrassment.Xia Zhi nodded, seeing that Shiraishi Lihua had nothing to say, and was about to lower her head to read.

He felt lucky that he didn't meddle in other people's business. Maintaining a good relationship with classmates was quite tiring, especially when the two parties were of different genders.

"That, Zhijun Xia. I have a question for you."

Xia Zhi raised his head, and Shiraishi Lihua's face faced Xia Zhi at a very close distance, probably less than a punch away.Xia Zhi was startled and leaned back slightly.

"Hmm...what's the problem."

When Shiraishi Lihua came back to her senses, she also realized that her actions were a little inappropriate, and her face turned red, as if she was shy.He stepped back a little and straightened up.

"Yeah. I just wanted to ask Xia Zhijun whether you like sweet things or salty things."

"What? Tofu brain? If you ask this question casually, someone will die."

"Eh? Why?"

"...Just kidding." Xia Zhi was silent for a moment. It seemed that the eldest lady really didn't know much about these jokes. "As for me, as long as it tastes good, it can be sweet or salty."

"It's just that this kind of answer is more troublesome." Shiraishi Lihua sighed.

"What are you going to do?"

"Well... aren't we going to the aquarium tomorrow? I'll bring whatever dishes I want to bring over."

"Now?"

Lihua turns out to be the kind of child who is particularly concerned about going out.A little surprised.

Shiraishi Lihua saw Xia Zhi's eyes as if looking at a child, and felt that he must have misunderstood something, so she hurriedly explained.

"No! Isn't today Saturday? We only have classes in the morning. Liangzi and I will probably go to the mall in the afternoon. Doesn't Xia Zhijun have to go to work this afternoon? So I just want to ask now, and there will be no need in the afternoon. Let’s ask Xia Zhijun again.”

"That's it...I can actually do anything. I'm not picky about food."

After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he felt that his choice of words was not very good. It had the meaning of "I can eat whatever you cook because I am not picky about food", which was a little impolite.So I thought about it and added another sentence.

"As long as it's the food made by Lihua, I can probably eat it. I'm looking forward to it."

I didn't mean to dislike the other person's food, and I also left a way out for myself to avoid being forced to eat some unexpected dark food. I am really a master of chatting.Although Xia Zhi doesn't believe that Shiraishi Rika would make such a thing as dark cooking, but recently there have been more and more pinches like this. If he is caught off guard, Xia Zhi is likely to doubt his life, so it is better to take insurance. Better.

As soon as Xia Zhi finished speaking, Shiraishi Lihua's face suddenly turned red. Xia Zhi even had the terrifying hallucination of "steam coming out of Lihua's head" for a moment.

"What, what, what, what, what... Xia Zhijun, you, you, you, you, you, too... you are too..."

Did I just say something that could shake a person so much?Xia Zhi became confused.

Seeing Xia Zhi's puzzled expression, Shiraishi Reika's heart that was beating wildly in an instant gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath... It wasn't enough, so she took another breath...

To say such words so casually, could it be that Xia Zhijun is a playboy?I really didn't expect that...

Ah... my face is so hot... so embarrassing... what should I do now?
All in all, let's fool the past first?That's probably the only way to go.

"Um, um, ah, uh... much, thank you for the compliment."

"No, your face is very red...are you sick? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

At any rate, it's already in front of him, so Xia Zhi would like to express some concern.You shouldn't be disgusted, right?Even though we are just classmates, I still want to die if I am disliked by a pretty girl.

"No, no, no, I'm fine! I'm not sick! Xia Zhijun, you think too much! Ha, ha ha ha."

Why do you think there is something wrong with me?ah!Really!It's all Xia Zhijun's fault!

Shiraishi Lihua couldn't help but glare at Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi suddenly felt his heart froze.

Haha, I want to die because I am hated... Sure enough, you will be punished for interfering in other people's affairs at will.

"I, I, I'm going over first! See you later!"

Shiraishi Lihua quickly disappeared from Xia Zhi's side in three steps, leaving Xia Zhi alone and ashen inside.

He was already hated to the point of running away, so there was probably no way he could be saved.

The classroom door was opened again.

"Hello! I didn't expect that I would come so early today! Xia Zhijun, good morning!? Why do you look like you are going to die soon? Cheer up!"

"Lihua Lihua! Look at Xia Zhijun!? Why are you so blushing!? What happened! You two!"

I’m so tired today...I feel so tired...
