designer who lives in the next room

"What are you laughing at?" Li Zixi who was lying on the bed turned her head to look at Nanako, she didn't remember doing something that made people laugh just now, "What did you see?"

"It's nothing..." Nanako shook her head, she lightly pinched Li Zixi's leg, feeling a little unsatisfactory, and stretched out her hand to pat Li Zixi's skin, "Speaking of which, you really didn't Are you secretly taking care of your skin... It's really hard for me to believe that skin that doesn't take care of it can still be so tender..."

Nanako's words made Li Zixi proud. She retracted her legs and turned over, sitting cross-legged and facing Nanako. She opened her short sleeves to reveal her belly, and patted her body, "Probably because I still Be young."

"Are you saying I'm old?" Nanako glared at Li Zixi, "I didn't expect you to despise me before I'm 30."

"Hey, where did you come to such a conclusion!" Li Zixi looked aggrieved. She looked at Nanako's exposed skin and couldn't understand why Nanako envied herself. Nanako's skin was also very good, and it was still that kind Li Zixi felt envious of her physique that didn't leave scars easily.

"I don't care, I don't want you to dislike me..." Nanako suddenly threw herself on Li Zixi's body, feeling Li Zixi's softness with her face.

Nanako's soft hair made Li Zixi very itchy, she couldn't stop laughing, and kept patting Nanako's back with her hands to make her stop.

The two of them had been quarreling like this for an unknown amount of time. They were sweating even though the air conditioner was on. The shower they had just taken was a waste of time.

"I said... what are you going to do tomorrow..." Li Zixi, who also had a few days of vacation, lay panting on the bed and asked Nanako. The nonsense just now made her very tired. She didn't want to move, she was too lazy to even turn her head, so she kept staring at the ceiling.

"Isn't it good to just lie down at home for a whole day?" Nanako also looked at the ceiling in the same posture, "Just at home... sleep all the time..."

Nanako's voice gradually became softer and a little slurred.

"Are you dozing off?" Li Zixi asked Nanako.

"No... yes... ah..." Nanako denied, but she almost fell asleep hearing her voice.

"..." Li Zixi got up from the bed sheet. She originally wanted to chat with Nanako for a while, but Nanako seemed to be unable to hold on anymore.

Nanako had just finished speaking when she heard Nanako's snoring. Her snoring was louder than usual today. It could be seen that she was indeed very tired today.

That being the case, Li Zixi, who loves Nanako deeply, no longer intends to disturb Nanako. She took the mobile phone from the bedside table, and then gently kissed Nanako on the cheek, "Good night, dear."

Li Zixi probably went to bed a few hours later than Nanako, but she still had the energy to watch a few episodes of TV series with sore calves. Anyway, she didn't have to work the next day, so she could sleep as long as she wanted.

So when Li Zixi opened his eyes the next day, it was already noon, and Cicada was screaming desperately outside, and he could still hear the sound of jingling from the kitchen.

Li Zixi, who was not fully awake, couldn't figure out what Nanako was doing, she could only stare at her disheveled hair and crumpled pajamas and headed for the kitchen.As soon as she walked into the kitchen, she looked at Nanako who had her back turned to her, and she was still wearing an apron.

Nanako, is this cooking?

To Li Zixi's surprise, Nanako actually took the initiative to cook.

But are the things she made edible... Li Zixi thought of the plate of burnt eggs and beat a jolt, which woke her up alive.

Sensing someone behind her, Nanako turned her head and met Li Zixi's eyes.

"Are you awake?" Nanako said while picking up the spatula from the table, "I'll eat later."

"Hey, hey, am I right?" Li Zixi walked towards Nanako, "Are you actually cooking?"

"What's wrong, can't you?" Nanako pouted, she thought that Li Zixi's first reaction would be to praise her, then she took out a booklet from her apron pocket and put it on Li Zixi before.

It was a book about how to cook, and it was specifically marked for cooking idiots who couldn't even cook a few o'clock.

"Why did you suddenly want to learn how to cook?" Li Zixi was still a little puzzled. Before, Nanako had no interest in cooking at all, because she had to buy vegetables, wash them, and cut them into suitable pieces. Size, the most important thing is that it is easy to be scalded by oil when cooking.

"Isn't it because you always dislike me for not being able to cook...I want to prove to you that I, Nanako, was just lazy and not talented. I just need to study a little and I can still cook decent food." Nanako covered Holding her chest, she said to Li Zixi, "What's more, you usually cook very hard, and occasionally let me help you..."

In fact, the latter sentence is Nanako's true thoughts. It is not a disgraceful thing to not know how to cook. Even if Yui uses this to tease herself, she thinks it is no big deal, but when Nanako starts to try to cook alone, she Only then did I realize that cooking a meal is really not easy.

Normally, Li Zixi would stop by to buy vegetables when she came back from work, and turn them into a hearty dinner when she came back. Now that she had experienced what it was like to cook, Nanako knew how hard Li Zixi usually worked.

"That's it..." Li Zixi put the book aside as she spoke, walked up behind Nanako, hugged Nanako from behind, and leaned into her ear, "Actually, I don't think so at all. Tired, it’s better to say that being able to cook for my favorite Nanako will make me full of motivation.”

Nanako's face slowly turned red, usually Nanako was the one who said these provocative words, when she heard Li Zixi say that, she still felt a little shy... It's the old couple's fault, It shouldn't be like this...

"You, hurry up and wash your face..." Nanako turned her head and bit Li Zixi's face lightly, "Don't bother me, I just wrote down the cooking steps... .If this continues, I will have to forget again..."

"Hey hey..." Hearing what Nanako said, Li Zixi had no choice but to let go of Nanako, she glanced at the kitchen, even if she left Nanako cooking alone, there would be no danger, "Then I'll go out first , I'm really looking forward to eating Nanako's cooking."

"You can buy some drinks by the way..." Before Li Zixi left, Nanako stopped her, and she pointed to the refrigerator, "I forgot to tell you, the drinks in the refrigerator have expired and I have thrown them away .”

Cooking requires talent. For those who don't know how to cook at all, they can't succeed immediately with just a booklet teaching cooking.So when Nanako brought the lunch to the table, it was still not very good in terms of appearance.

But this is much better than the ones she made before. Nanako has actually made a lot of progress from burning the ingredients black to making them edible for adults.Looking at Nanako who looked expectant, Li Zixi didn't tease her, she just picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. Just like she imagined, Nanako couldn't control the amount of seasoning at all.

Nanako, who was trying to cook seriously for the first time, only fried two dishes. The first dish that Li Zixi ate was slightly salty, while the second dish was tasteless, but it was okay to eat the two dishes together. It's okay.

At least the food I made this time is edible. Nanako made it exactly as written in the book, so the taste is still acceptable. The next Nanako just needs to practice more. After all, cooking is the right thing to do. It makes perfect.

Nanako didn't think it was a big deal for her cooking to be salty or bland. This might be the first time Nanako made something edible, so Li Zixi couldn't help but want to praise her.

"It's not bad for your level." Li Zixi added a mouthful of vegetables and put them in the bowl, before she put the vegetables and rice into her mouth, she said to Nanako, "It seems that you just need to be serious. If you are willing to learn, you can still improve.”

"That's why I said before that I was just lazy to cook." Nanako became a little proud after being praised, "As long as I am willing to learn, there is nothing I can't learn."

"Ah, really? Then you can start learning Chinese by yourself tomorrow." Li Zixi shrugged her shoulders and said to Nanako. Before they came back, Li Zixi's mother also told Nanako to learn Chinese well, and she will definitely learn Chinese in the days to come. There was time for Nanako to be alone with them, otherwise, if Li Zixi wasn't around, they still wouldn't be able to communicate.

Learning a new language will progress very slowly if you only rely on self-study, let alone an extremely difficult language like Chinese.Without the teacher Li Zixi, Nanako would not be able to communicate with others until the year of the monkey.

"I'd better ask you to teach me this. Chinese is a really difficult language." Nanako shook her head, and there was a teacher who was very proficient in Chinese by her side. Nanako, she will definitely procrastinate because of laziness, "I really can't do it myself."

"It's good to have this awareness. Although there are many Chinese characters in Japanese, the meanings are still too different from those in Chinese." Li Zixi echoed. If Nanako was left to study alone, I don't know what she would learn. Come out, after all, there are many teaching videos on the Internet that are used to deceive people, "If that's the case, from next week onwards, set aside an hour every day for studying."

"Ah? Will it start next week?" Nanako was a little surprised, because it was already Saturday, which meant that she would enter the state of study from the day after tomorrow.If you study at home, that kind of state is like hiring a tutor. The last time Nanako had such an experience was when she was in junior high school. Her academic performance was not excellent, and she was forced to continue studying by the tutor after school.

At that time, what Nanako was most afraid of was going home. She finally got out of school and had to face the textbooks again. Only then did the family give up and continue to hire a tutor for her.

If the tutor at that time was a beautiful older sister, Nanako might have returned home full of expectations, but the tutor the family found for her at the time was a retired female teacher in her 50s, and she couldn't even crack a joke, let alone chat. Some young people are talking about it, and her temper is not very good. Although she has never scolded Nanako, Nanako still doesn't like to be with such people.

So with such energy, Nanako began to have a resistance to tutoring, just thinking this time, she knew that Li Zixi was not a tutor hired from outside, but it still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Do you have any other teaching methods?" Nanako continued to ask, "It's like attending a class at a fixed time every day. I don't like that feeling very much."

"I'm not someone who knows how to teach...how can there be any other way?" Li Zixi shook her head, to be honest, she didn't even know how to teach Nanako, she remembered that when she was learning Chinese characters, she started with pinyin From the beginning, Nanako had to start with pinyin when teaching Nanako, but she herself almost forgot the 26 pinyin table.

Nanako's head is getting bigger, and it seems that she can't escape this time, because she promised Li Zixi's mother that she must learn Chinese, and she has nothing to do.But she also felt that if Li Zixi taught her, she would feel better, after all, Li Zixi would not be as strict as the tutor at that time.

While chatting, we finished our lunch. It is cloudy outside today, and the sun always disappears for a while. The temperature is not bad, not stuffy, but there is no wind today.Li Zixi and Nanako have no plans to go out today, no one needs to visit again, not to mention that they have not left for a long time this time, and no one will miss them.

The TV was on, but neither Li Zixi nor Nanako watched it. As long as either of them was at home, they would turn on the TV. Whether they watched it or not was of secondary importance, the main reason was to make the house quieter.

Before running to lie down on the sofa, Li Zixi first went to the kitchen, and after a while, she came out with a plate of chopped tomatoes.

There is also sugar sprinkled on the tomatoes, which looks pretty good.

This is a kind of tomato that almost every Chinese has eaten. Sprinkling some sugar can neutralize the acidity of the tomato. It is very good as a fruit snack.

"What kind of trick is this, eating tomatoes dipped in sugar?" Nanako seems to have never eaten like this, she doesn't like things like tomatoes, she will feel sour.

"What kind of tomato is dipped in sugar? You don't know it at first glance. It's a famous dish over there." Li Zixi said to Nanako with a mysterious face, "The name of this dish is 'Volcano Snow'."

Nanako was stunned when she heard the name. It was only after images of volcanoes and snow appeared in her mind that she realized what Li Zixi meant. She looked at the tomatoes on the table, red tomatoes and white sugar. Don't say it really means that.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha..." Nanako burst out laughing in an instant, she knew that Li Zixi was teasing her, and it was probably Li Zixi who came up with the name herself, "It's so funny, you are such a genius for naming names."

"Er...that's not my name...the restaurant next to our house actually has this dish." Li Zixi sighed, remembering what happened when she was young and ignorant, when she and her own Mom and Dad went to a restaurant to eat, and when she was looking through the menu, she noticed a dish called "Volcano Snow". At that time, she wanted to know what it was, so she ordered it, but when the waiter brought the dish I was dumbfounded when it was served.

The so-called "volcanic snow" is to cut up the tomatoes and sprinkle some sugar. Such a dish that can be prepared in 5 minutes actually costs Li Zixi more than 40 yuan. I really don't know whether the tomatoes are imported or the sugar is imported. .

Nanako couldn't stop laughing after listening to Li Zixi's story. She felt that although Li Zixi would be stupid occasionally, she was not so stupid. She had been to China and knew the prices in Li Zixi's hometown, so she also knew How many tomatoes can you buy for 40 yuan?

"Everyone has a time when they are young and ignorant..." Li Zixi seemed a little helpless. Every time she told others about this, the reaction of others was the same as that of Nanako, so now she is used to it, "I The meaning is actually that Chinese is so broad and profound that very common things can be expressed with very high-end words, I just remind you to study hard and don’t be fooled by then.”

It is true to say that Li Zixi, a native Chinese, is occasionally deceived by words, let alone a foreigner like Nanako.But she is not too worried, because the people she met in China were actually very friendly, even if they knew she was Japanese, they did not make things difficult for her, so it is not like what Nanako saw on TV. Most people are actually friendly to foreigners.

"Speaking of which, should we go and buy some books for you?" Li Zixi suddenly remembered that she didn't have textbooks at hand, and seeing that the weather was pretty good today, she said to Nanako, "If you want to learn Chinese, the best way is to learn Chinese. There are books that compare to the price."

"Are you going today?" Nanako, who was full just now, didn't want to move at all. She woke up quite early this morning, so she was a little sleepy at noon.

"Of course." Li Zixi didn't plan to let Nanako go to bed this time, the bookstore is not far from home, and it took less than an hour to come back from the previous trip, "I don't intend to let you continue to procrastinate. If you start studying on Monday, you start on Monday."

"But, isn't there another day tomorrow?" Nanako retorted, since she married Li Zixi, she has become more and more lazy. She used to be a vigorous woman, but now she just wants to lie on the sofa every day sleep.

"What are you talking about?" Li Zixi forcefully pulled Nanako up from the sofa, "Really, you go out for a walk after eating, if you continue like this, you will become fat like a pig!"

Volume [-]#Everyone's Rest Day

He was dragged out of the door by Li Zixi, and there was no one on the street outside at noon.

Although the sun is not so hot today, walking a few steps will still make people sweat.Even Li Zixi regretted going out at this time, but she couldn't say it out. If she said it, wouldn't she be slapping herself in the face...

"It's so hot!" Nanako couldn't help complaining, she kept fanning herself with her hands and stared at Li Zixi, "Do you regret going out?"

"No..." Li Zixi shook her head, but the expression on her face had already seen through her lie, "This kind of temperature... is trivial..."

"Ah, yes, I also said that if you also feel hot, I will buy two popsicles." Nanako gave Li Zixi a white look, "But it seems that I only need to buy one now."

Listening to Nanako's words, Li Zixi couldn't help but smacked her lips, "I want the blueberry flavor, thank you."

"Aren't you not hot? It's trivial to say that this temperature..." Nanako teased Li Zixi on purpose. Although she said just now that she would only buy it for herself, if she really went, how could she not have Li Zixi's share? Well, Nanako just wanted to use this method to get Li Zixi to say something like "I regret going out now".

"Can't you eat popsicles if it's not hot?" Li Zixi was still stubborn, but when she turned her head and saw Nanako's expression of "knowing everything", she sighed helplessly, "Okay, I admit it, let's go out now It's a bit hot, but that doesn't mean it won't be hot when we go out tomorrow."

Nanako knew that Li Zixi would say such a thing, so she took out her mobile phone and let Li Zixi look at it.

It was a weather forecast, indicating that tomorrow will be cloudy, with a small probability of rain, and the temperature will be lower than today.

Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, with the energy to slap her face twice, Li Zixi didn't know what to say this time.

Walking side by side with Nanako, she was silent for a while, and then she didn't care about what was there anymore. Anyway, she took Nanako out of the house today, and there is no such "if" or "I knew it earlier" in this world. "It's useless to talk about it now.

"I want blueberry flavor, thank you." Li Zixi who didn't care about anything grabbed Nanako's clothes and repeated what she said before, "Don't bring cream, I don't want to eat something so greasy."

Just like a child.

Ke Ke is crazy, facing Li Zixi Nanako like this, she can't put it down, let alone ice lollies without cream at this time, if Li Zixi wants stars, Nanako might go online to check how much it costs to buy a piece of meteorite.

"How about eating shaved ice?" Nanako suggested, "You like it very much, and you can put some fruit in this season."

"Not bad." Li Zixi nodded in agreement, "Then it's settled, let's go to the shaved ice shop to cool off for a while."

It was already afternoon, but Yui had just opened her eyes at this time. Today she and Kimura Asuka had a rest, and the latter had gone to nowhere.

There was a piece of paper on the table, which was left by Asuka Kimura to Yui, and she told her to go to the proprietress of the Cat Cafe to study baking cakes together, and told Yui that there was still food in the refrigerator, if there was nothing else, she could go find it she.

Yui, who just woke up, was not very hungry. She slept well this time, so she didn't have any residual fatigue in her body, but she still didn't recover mentally. After all, she slept really well this time. It's been a little too long.

Turning off the air conditioner and opening the window, fresh air rushed in, and Yui suddenly became more awake.

Kimura Asuka would also sleep in on the rest day, so Yui knew that Kimura Asuka had not been gone for a long time, and he would go to her in about two or three hours, otherwise he would not be able to do anything even if he passed now.My girlfriend studies baking cakes and making desserts with others, and Yui, who has no interest in such things, can only play with those cats.

So she might as well go later, taking advantage of this time, Yui can have a meal, take a bath and then rest for a while.

Yui does not go back to visit others as often as Kimura Asuka, she prefers to nest in a fixed place every day to do what she likes, but it is a bit boring to be alone at home, there are no good programs on TV, and there are no pets at home .

Speaking of which, Yui seldom stays alone. Before she came out to work, she was accompanied by her family at home. When she went to university to find a job, she lived in the "Lily Apartment". Every day, she could chat with Nanako and the others. After a face-to-face meeting, she was with Asuka Kimura, and after moving out, she was with Asuka Kimura every day, so suddenly there was no one around her, and Yui felt a little uncomfortable.

But she still didn't plan to go to Kimura Asuka right now, and she didn't plan to ask Nanako what they were doing. She was thinking about a question, what to raise at home so that people wouldn't feel bored.

She doesn't think about plants and fish, because this kind of thing is really boring. Plants can't move at all. Fish are better, they can move, but they can't touch them, they can only look at them, and they can't make any sound.Moreover, there was already a fish tank in the store, and Yui had no interest in this kind of creature.

Cats, cats, dogs, etc... Yui thought about it and still didn’t think it would work. Dogs have to be taken out for a walk every day. Her personality is definitely not suitable. Speaking of herself, and Yui doesn't like cats very much, even if she is often said to have the same personality as cats.

She wants to make the house a little noisy, so cats are not suitable. If she had a cat, Yui might look at it on the sofa for an afternoon and remain motionless.

"How about the parrot?" Yui suddenly remembered that when he was walking on the street, he saw a parrot in someone's shop. As for disturbing the people.

Yui hasn't raised birds much yet, so she wants to try the same thing a little bit.

Parrots are also different from other birds. This bird is very smart and human, and its interaction is very good.

"Go to the store and ask at that time, it seems that parrots are not very cheap." Yui continued to mutter, she felt that if it was a bird, Kimura Asuka would not have any objections.

Compared with Yui who has nothing to do on the rest day, Kimura Asuka's rest day is much more fulfilling.

She got acquainted with Yui and the proprietress of the Cat Cafe more than half a year ago. Since then, Kimura Asuka has often come to study desserts and coffee with her. The proprietress of the Cat Cafe has always been self-taught, so compared to Kimura Asuka Those who have actually taken dessert classes are inferior, but under the guidance of Asuka Kimura, she has made rapid progress.

Recently, she can always hear customers saying that the cakes she makes are getting better and better, which makes her very happy, so she wants to take advantage of Kimura Asuka's rest today to learn more from her, and treat her to a meal by the way.

"Speaking of which, Ms. Kimura, don't you really feel tired if you come to my place during your break?" The proprietress asked Asuka Kimura. Although she hoped that Asuka Kimura would come here every rest day, she was a little embarrassed. After all, Asuka Kimura only rests one day a week.

She may still have something to do, and the proprietress thinks it's a little bad for her.

"You don't need to worry about this at all." Asuka Kimura saw what the proprietress was thinking, she shook her head at the proprietress, "Yui will take care of everything, don't look at her usually so lazy, actually It’s pretty quick to get things done.”

"Actually, I also have the same feeling. The one in your family feels that he is good at everything." The proprietress agreed. She actually admires Yui. She usually looks lazy and doesn't know anything. looks, but if she is really serious, no matter what she does, she can instantly kill the people around her.

This guy is probably a genius...
