I'm a thankful fox in Tokyo

Chapter 356 Ginger Impersonating Beef

After dinner, the Iori couple went out to digest the food - as long as they were within the control of the shrine, there were basically no demons, and Haruhara's shrines were scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Ayase-zaka.

Higashino Yu helped Yuko wash the dishes in the kitchen. After putting them away, he looked at the water on his hands and was about to find a handkerchief to wipe them. When he looked up, he saw a clean towel wrapped around his hands.

"I want to go to the study to practice for a while. Do you want to come with me, Tono Nissan?"

Miko asked softly, wiping Higashino Yu's hands carefully, very skillfully, as if she had done this many times.

The bright, warm yellow incandescent light in the kitchen shines on the girl's profile. Her fair, crystal-clear skin is dimly lit with an amber halo. Her butterfly-like eyelashes droop, casting mottled light and shadows on her white, somewhat transparent little face. The girl's affection is carefully hidden in it.

Dongye Yu was stunned for a second, and a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of his mouth. He noticed that there were also water stains on Yu Zi's hands. The towel was not small, so he held the towel and held her small hand in his palm.

Miko's eyelashes trembled slightly, her cherry-colored lips were pursed, and her breathing became a little rapid.

"Will Yuko be nervous and shy?" Dongye Yu looked at the girl's expression, feeling the faint sweetness in his heart, and felt a little strange.

In the dream, the two have lived together for more than ten years. Logically, they should have become family members long ago, but when they meet again in reality, they still feel happy, timid and embarrassed because of the closeness as naturally as when they first fell in love with each other.

However, Dongye Yu was thick-skinned, and these emotions were basically only swirling in his heart, but his expression seemed very gentle and concerned. Ordinary people who saw him probably would not think that he was a person who was trying to have four relationships at the same time.

Yu Zi raised her eyes, her amber eyes were clear and pure, full of the reflection of Higashino Yu. Her delicate and upturned nose tip shone with a gilded luster under the light, which made people's heart beat fast.

"Will Dongye Nissan do it?"

Dongye Yu felt the girl's soft and boneless hands through the towel, and a voice in his heart told him to get closer, just like he had done countless times in his dreams.

This must be the Tao heart talking to me.

Thinking of this, Dongye Yu half squatted down, lowered her head and moved closer, until Yu Zi's warm and fragrant scent gradually became stronger, her breathing began to become a little disordered, and she seemed to be very conflicted. At first, she subconsciously stepped back, but before she took that step firmly, she took the initiative to move closer again.

He felt the touch of the girl's skin, as smooth and delicate as silk on his forehead. She seemed to become blurred in front of Dong Yeyu's eyes. Only her amber eyes were still clear, hazy with rain and mist, reflecting the starlight and lights.

Dong Ye Yu sniffed the warm fragrance lingering around his nose and raised his head slightly. The tips of their noses touched each other and their lips were only one centimeter apart. They could almost feel each other's warmth.

His breath was moist and hot, blowing towards her face. Yu Zi felt a little dizzy, as if her feet were not on the ground but falling into the clouds. Her little hands just held on to him, afraid that if she let go she would fall to an unknown place.

The two of them just stared at each other, as if time had stood still. Even the lights became gentle, and the sound of the whistle outside Ayase Sakagao was distant and quiet.

"Hitano Nissan hasn't answered me yet." Miko asked after calming down a little.

"Miko goes first."

The girl choked, puffed up her face slightly, looked away, and was silent for a long time before she pursed her lips and whispered, "It's a very strange feeling, maybe it's shyness? Miko doesn't hate this feeling."

"It's your turn." She said, looking at Dong Yeyu and reminded him softly.

"You can't lie in a shrine." Dong Yeyu smiled and thought for a while: "My feelings would be more complicated."

"What is it?" Yuzi blinked curiously.

"The joy, shyness and incomparable spiritual satisfaction that comes from the heart." Higashino Yu said seriously.

Yuko stared at Dongye Yu in amazement. This scene reminded her of their first night together, when they explored each other seriously.
The memories in her mind made the girl's heartbeat accelerate suddenly. Her fair face suddenly turned red and her mind went empty. The lights in front of her eyes became dim and the air became as thick as honey. In the windless environment, it was filled with his scent.

Miko felt her body go limp and she wanted to fall asleep in his strong arms, but she thought about the reality and future which were even bleaker than her dream - the happiness that belonged to her alone had to be divided into several parts.

The girl's complex emotions were immediately saturated by this helpless sadness. The mist in her eyes finally condensed into raindrops, sliding down her porcelain-white face, and her little mouth pouted.

"Dongye Nisan is a bastard!" She said while sobbing. She didn't hug Dongye Yu, but just stood in front of him and stared at him.

Dong Ye Yu was stunned at that time. The atmosphere was fine just now, why did his expression suddenly change?

But on second thought, Miko was used to suppressing her emotions deep in her heart, so it was normal for her to have such an emotional breakdown. After all, people have limits to their ability to endure, and she was indeed an asshole.

Dong Ye Yu didn't dare to look into her eyes, so he could only hug her silently.

Yuko suddenly hugged Dongye Yu tightly, her petite body trembling, and her arms were very strong, as if she wanted to merge Dongye Yu into her body, and as if she hated her like an enemy.

This lasted for a long time, and her emotions calmed down. Dongye Yu gently wiped her eyes and said softly: "In fact, it may not be as bad as Yuzi imagined. Isn't it a pleasant evening for everyone to get along well?"

"Sanae is a good friend." Miko was still sobbing a little, "But this kind of relationship is too weird."

Dong Yeyu thought about it and raised his index finger: "I know, it's like eating a piece of ginger pretending to be beef when eating a delicious dish of beef stew with potatoes!"

"You know that, but you still do it." Miko glared at him.

Dong Yeyu bowed his head to express his apology: "I will try to find a suitable solution in the future."

Although it's just a blank check, it at least makes people feel better.

Miko was silent for a long time: "If I had expressed my feelings to Higashino Nissan a long time ago, would Higashino Nissan have chosen only me?"

Higashino Yu thought seriously for a while: "But Miko fell in love with me after Sanae, right? She was closer to me at the beginning and wanted to be my best friend?"

Yuko was slightly stunned. She really didn't have any concept of love at the beginning. She just felt comfortable getting along with Higashino Yu and wanted to stay with him, that's all.

The girl felt uncomfortable that Sanae fell in love with Higashino Nissan earlier than she did.

However, thinking that she and Higashino Nissan were probably the only ones who had a long experience of being together, Miko felt that this was unfair to Sanae and Hiiragi Kagami. She felt a little pity for them, and the discomfort in her heart disappeared.
