Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 285 Eri Kisaki: Who misses you? I don't miss you at all!
Just as Kuriyama Midori was wondering who the man behind Kisaki Eri was.

Kitahara Natsuyu has returned to the Kisaki Eri residence, and the key he used was naturally the Kisaki Eri residence's spare key.

And now, the key belongs to him.

After entering the house, Kitahara Natsuhiro took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, changed into slippers, and went into the living room. After going to the bathroom, he went straight to the kitchen.

After arriving in the kitchen, he took out all the ingredients he had bought from the supermarket that morning.

A large piece of beef tendon, a large piece of lean pork belly, beef tripe, beef tongue, dried tofu, tofu skin, and a little egg.

These are the braised dishes he's preparing to make today.

He had actually prepared braised pig's trotters, duck feet, chicken legs, and chicken feet, but he didn't buy them because he was afraid that Eri wouldn't be used to them.

These foods are not commonly eaten in Japan, but they are still sold in supermarkets and are not particularly expensive.

So he first prepared to braise these things and let Eri Kisaki try them. After Eri Kisaki gave her feedback, he continued to braise other things.

After all, foods like large intestine, pig's head meat, and beef tongue.

These foods can be stored in the refrigerator for a long time after being braised, and you only need to heat them up when you want to eat them.

This couldn't be more convenient for Eri, who's terrible at cooking.

"It's work."

Kitahara Natsumi rolled up his sleeves, took out a pot, put the braising spices he had bought into a bag, soaked them in water, and rinsed them.

Then I started working on other things.

Not long
The entire living room was filled with the aroma of meat and spices, making one's mouth water.

However, the heat is not enough; it needs more time. After braising, it should be soaked for several hours, or even overnight, to make it more flavorful.

While preparing the food, Kitahara Natsuhiro also picked up sticky notes and started writing and drawing on the dining table.

Each sticky note lists an ingredient and how to cook it.

The cooking method is simply heating it up and steaming it in a pot, and he also gave a special instruction.

No seasonings or flavorings are allowed, not even water!

He knew Eri Kisaki's cooking method all too well: too much salt, add water; too much water, add salt.

He had already prepared all of these things, so there was no need to add any more ingredients; all that was needed was to steam them.

It's not that we're afraid of the second generation squandering their inheritance, it's that we're afraid of them starting their

In terms of cooking, Eri Kisaki falls into the category of second-generation entrepreneurs.

This is prohibited.

"Phew," Kitahara Natsuyu sighed, put down his pen, looked at the sticky note on the table, and smiled: "Now that you've met me, it's time for you to enjoy your retirement, Eri."

He stretched and turned to go to the kitchen.

After that, Kitahara Natsuhiro stayed until four or five o'clock in the afternoon before leaving Kisaki Eri's house.

Furthermore, all the braised food items had already been prepared and placed in the refrigerator for refrigeration, with sticky notes attached.

Before leaving, he also cleaned up Eri's house with will-o'-the-wisps to ensure there was no odor.

After settling everything, Kitahara Natsuyu left Eri Kisaki's house with bags full of things, including a thermos and some pots.

These large and small packages are the braised products he makes.

Eri Kisaki couldn't finish all of this by herself, so he found someone to share it with her.

And this person is...
Mihara Akiko!

Cupido Elementary School, Cupido Town.

After parking his car, Kitahara Natsuhiro went straight to Beika Elementary School.

With prior notice from Akiko Yonehara, he was able to enter Beika Elementary School without any trouble, and even offered the gatekeeper a cigarette as he entered.

He is quite adept at interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

After successfully entering, Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived at the school building of Beika Elementary School and went straight to Yonehara Akiko's office.

Because of her promotion, she now has her own office.

bang bang
Kitahara Natsuhiro knocked on the office door.

The next second, a voice came from inside the office: "Come in."

crunch
Kitahara Natsuhiro opened the office door, pushed it open, went inside, and then closed the door again.

At that moment, Akiko Yonehara was still working on her documents at her desk, unaware of who the visitor was, assuming it was just a teacher from the school.

"What's matter?"

"I'm fine," Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile, standing in front of Yonehara Akiko. "I just missed you."

Upon hearing the voice, Akiko Yonehara immediately looked up, a delighted smile spreading across her face: "You've come."

Kitahara Natsuhiro had sent her a text message, and she had notified the security guard. After that, she continued to handle her work and didn't know how much time had passed.

She didn't even notice when Kitahara Natsuhiro came.

“Yes.” Kitahara Natsuyu dragged a chair to sit in front of Yonehara Akiko and placed the insulated food container in front of her. “Are you hungry? Eat something first, and I’ll cook for you when we get home.”

Gululu.
Akiko Yonehara hadn't felt hungry at first, but after seeing the insulated food container in front of her, her stomach started growling and she felt hungry.

"It's already 5:30. No wonder my stomach is rumbling." Akiko Yonehara put down her work and opened the insulated food container in front of her.

The moment it was opened, a fragrant aroma wafted out; it was a familiar scent to her.

"Braised beef, this must be delicious." Akiko Yonehara smiled happily, quickly took apart a pair of chopsticks, and started eating.

"It still tastes the same, so delicious." Akiko Yonehara chewed on the beef, her body swaying involuntarily.

That's the taste.

Since Akiko Yonehara spent the most time with Natsuhiro Kitahara and ate these things frequently, their flavors were ingrained in her taste buds.

It's still as delicious as ever, and I even think the flavor has improved.

"It's delicious."

Kitahara Natsuhiro stood up, filled Yonehara Akiko's teacup with water, and placed it on her table.

"Mmm, mmm, mmm," Akiko Yonehara nodded vigorously, "It's very delicious!"

"I think I could eat two, or even three bowls of rice just from this."

Kitahara Natsumi's version is spicy, only mildly spicy, not very spicy, so it's quite good with rice.

If you add the braising sauce, you could easily eat five bowls of rice.

However, this way it will burst your belly.

"No, I'd better not." Kitahara Natsumi sat down. "Eating too much will make you feel stuffed, which isn't good. Moderation is fine."

How much work do you still have?

"Work?" Akiko Yonehara glanced at the files on the table. "Not much left. I can finish it in half an hour at most, and then I can be truly free."

Most of the teachers at Beihu Elementary School have already gone on holiday, but she hasn't.

However, after today, she is on full vacation and can rest for a while.

She was really exhausted during this period.

"That's good. Looks like I won't need to lift a finger." Kitahara Natsuyu leaned back in his chair. Hearing this, Yonehara Akiko laughed, "Really? You're really going to help me with these documents?"

The next second, Kitahara Natsumi raised his hands in surrender: "Spare me."

"I can lead the children in games, but as for dealing with these things, forget it. Just looking at them gives me a headache!"

Although he is a teacher, he gets a headache whenever he sees books.

Having graduated from school long ago, he really didn't want to be involved in these things anymore, but he was still very interested in letting students experience them.

"I really don't know how you became a teacher," Akiko Yonehara chuckled.

A guy who gets a headache just looking at books actually became a teacher, albeit a physical education teacher.

“Physical education teachers don’t have to deal with books every day, and I don’t have much ambition, so I don’t want a promotion.” Kitahara Natsuhiro shrugged, indicating that he just wanted to stay put and refused to compete in the cutthroat world.

In fact, physical education teachers can also be promoted, for example, by leading the school to participate in track and field competitions, football matches, basketball games, and so on.

As long as he achieves good results, the physical education teacher will also gain credit, and with a bit of connections, promotion won't be difficult.

However, all he wants to do right now is lie down; he has absolutely no interest in promotions or anything like that.

He's already set for life, with plenty of food and drink, and so many beautiful women around him, so there's no need for him to get involved in the cutthroat competition.

After all, we've already time-traveled, so what's the point of involution?
"Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say makes sense." Akiko Yonehara replied dismissively, "You're probably the most unambitious office worker I've ever seen."

"I guess I was ambitious enough in my past life, and all I want to do in this life is lie down."

He's already gone through the involution phase; there's no need to continue.

So let's leave this kind of involution to Akiko Yonehara, Eri Kisaki, and Yukiko.

He will always stand behind them and be their support!

“I can’t argue with you.” Akiko Yonehara shook her head and continued to enjoy the food in front of her. “Wait for me a moment, let me eat something, and then I’ll deal with the documents.”

"You can leave around six o'clock."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu said, "Alright, I'll wait for you here."

"Ah."

Soon, it was six o'clock.

At this time, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko left Beika Elementary School and went to a parking lot near the school. After getting into their car, they went to a supermarket near their apartment to buy some groceries before heading home.

All the ingredients purchased were foods that Akiko Yonehara liked to eat.

Not long after, Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yonehara Akiko returned to her apartment together.

After returning home, she immediately took off her shoes, stomped onto the sofa in the living room, lay down, and let out a long sigh.

"So comfortable, so incredibly comfortable!" Akiko Yonehara lay on the sofa, a look of contentment on her face.

After get off work, lying on the sofa is pure bliss!

It would be even better with a beer.

Akiko Yonehara has a pretty good alcohol tolerance, and sometimes she and Ms. Minori would go out for a drink together after get off work.

Just thinking about it made Akiko Yonehara's mouth water, and she wanted to have a drink right now.

"Xia Yu, I want to drink now," she called out towards the kitchen.

The next second, Kitahara Natsuhiro's voice came from inside: "No."

"Let's drink after the food is ready. I'll drink with you. Just bear with it for now."

"Ugh!!!" Akiko Yonehara pouted and said, "So stingy."

"It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that drinking too much alcohol isn't good for your health, so just a little bit is enough to liven things up."

"To liven things up?" Akiko Yonehara paused for a moment, then rolled her eyes at Natsuhiro Kitahara in the kitchen: "You're still full of dirty thoughts."

“That’s right.” Kitahara Natsuyu laughed loudly, “That’s exactly the kind of person I am, didn’t you already know that?”

"And isn't it lust when you're with me?"

There's no such thing as love at first sight; it's just lust at first sight.

He was lustful at first sight, and so was Akiko Yonehara.

She is beautiful, and he is handsome.

That's enough.

"No, that's not it!" Akiko Yonehara blushed slightly, but stubbornly insisted, "I just think you should be a man I can entrust my life to."

"But who would have thought," she said, becoming more self-righteous, "that you're such a scumbag, with so many women outside, it's infuriating."

Um.
Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuhiro really couldn't refute it.

Because that's what it is.

“Alright,” Kitahara Natsuyu said, “I was lustful at first sight, you weren’t.”

"whee."

Akiko Yonehara lay on the sofa, making a "V" sign; today was her victory.

"Then I want to drink now."

“No way!” Kitahara Natsuhiro refused without hesitation.

Call me a scumbag if you want, I have no objection, because that's who I am.

However, you can't drink alcohol beforehand.

"Tch, stingy!"

Akiko Yonehara lay on the sofa, pouting, then picked up the remote, turned on the TV, and switched to a comedy program.

then
When Kitahara Natsuhiro arrived, Yonehara Akiko was already asleep.

"She's sleeping so soundly."

Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head, took out a tarpaulin, covered it with Yonehara Akiko's clothes, and then went back to work in the kitchen.

at the same time
Because Eri Kisaki had finished dealing with things ahead of time, she returned home early.

I got off work early today.

When she got home and didn't see Kitahara Natsumi, she sighed, "He really went back."

She shook her head, took off her heavy coat, and hung it on the hanger.

"Huh? What is this?"

Eri saw a sticky note on the wall next to the clothes rack. She took it down and looked at it, and found that it was left by Kitahara Natsuhiro.

[I'm back! There's a surprise in the fridge. Are you already missing me?]

"Who misses you? I don't miss you at all!" Eri Kisaki said unconsciously, her face flushed, but the smile on her face betrayed her.

"I want to see what's in the refrigerator."

Da da da.
Eri put down what she was holding and quickly went to the refrigerator. When she opened it, she found it full of sticky notes from Kitahara Natsuyu and the things he had made.

This is all Kitahara Natsuyu's overflowing love!
