Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

She reached into the metal box in the wall, took it out, and counted all her savings again.

Besides the two thousand yen I took out on my first day of work.

She has saved nearly 13,000 yen in the past three days.

Adding to the 50,000 yen I already had, I've now saved up 63,000 yen.

Looking at the ever-increasing amount of money.

Maki Mizuno could clearly feel that her life was getting better day by day.

After hiding the metal box, she used a poster to conceal it behind the wall again.

Then Mizuno Maki began to study.

At half past eleven.

Her phone alarm went off.

Maki Mizuno knew that when the alarm clock rang, it meant it was time to sleep, otherwise she wouldn't be able to get out of bed the next morning.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, groggily turned off the light, tossed her phone to the charger, and lay back down on the bed.

However, after lying down, Mizuno Maki was unable to fall asleep immediately, and just leaned against the pillow with many thoughts.

For some reason, the events of just now came back to mind.

Did you just chase away that stray dog ​​for me?

Probably not?

After all, he didn't even turn his head to look at me.

Maybe I'm overthinking it?

But what if he was helping me on purpose, and was only not turning back because he was worried that I would find out he was still secretly in love with me?

That's possible.

And on the train, that drunk woman was wearing sunglasses, right? Why did Kamishiro-kun praise her for being pretty?

That person was wearing sunglasses, so you shouldn't be able to tell if they were pretty or not, right?

And he's so easily swayed by girls' words, he's easily fooled, isn't he?

Forget it, it's none of my business anyway, there's no point in thinking about it so much.

Anyway, Shiro Shiro and I are just classmates.

It is now, and it will be in the future.

fell asleep.

Mizuno Maki pulled the covers over herself, closed her eyes, stopped thinking about it, and went to sleep.

Chapter 66 Instant Noodles! (Please continue reading!)

2024-07-14

Shiro Shiro pushed open the door and returned home.

"I am back."

Upon hearing his voice, Ayaka Sato, who was sitting in the living room, immediately stood up from the sofa and walked over to Shiro Kaede to help him with the groceries he had just bought. She smiled gently and said, "Welcome back, Shiro."

Are you hungry now?

"Do you want me to cook you some instant noodles, Auntie?"

"Instant noodles and stuff, Auntie can handle it!"

Shiro Kaede was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Auntie."

"Okay, leave it to me!" Sato Ayaka's pretty face was filled with joy after being entrusted with cooking by Bai Feng.

Erina is one thing, but she always felt that since last month, she seemed to have rarely been asked anything of by Bai Feng.

It seems that Bai Feng matured a lot during the holiday.

I don't need to help with many things anymore.

In fact, it even helped her solve many problems.

If this continues, it will seem as if Bai Feng is the one taking care of her.

Sato Ayaka felt that as an adult, she should be taking care of her sister and brother-in-law's two children.

Although only Erina is related to her by blood.

But in Ayaka Sato's heart, she also regarded Shirakaze as true family.

She felt a little embarrassed that Bai Feng was taking care of her instead.

After all, it was she who took the initiative to take care of the two of them.

If her sister and brother-in-law in heaven knew that she was being taken care of after all this, they would probably laugh at her again.

No no no!

Ayaka Sato, you need to pull yourself together.

You need to let Bai Feng know that you are the one who takes care of him!

Think about it!

While Shiro was changing his shoes, she quickly put the groceries he had just bought back into the refrigerator and took out a sausage, two eggs, and some vegetables.

Then they were placed in the kitchen.

Take out the unopened instant noodles from the top of the cabinet.

Quickly grab the pot and fill it with clean water from the tap.

Place the pot on the stove and light the fire.

The water was boiling.

Ayaka Sato didn't stop either.

Cut the ham and vegetables with a knife and place them in a bowl.

After doing all that, Ayaka Sato waited in the kitchen for the water to boil with a great sense of accomplishment.

"Auntie, where's Erina?"

Bai Feng's voice came from the living room.

Ayaka Sato turned around and looked at him as he put away his schoolbag, and smiled with satisfaction:

"Erina is in the room."

"It seems like it's because of the bet we made yesterday that I'm studying so hard to beat you."

"It's rare to see Erina put in such effort."

"Auntie, I think your bet is pretty good."

The god Bai Feng laughed dumbly:

"It's really good."

"I also hope she can beat me."

Ayaka Sato smiled in surprise:

"It seems you're quite confident, Bai Feng."

"It's alright." Shiro Kaede said nonchalantly as he walked back to his room with his things, reminding her, "Auntie, remember to watch the fire. I'm going to get a change of clothes."

"Mmm." Ayaka Sato turned around and looked at the water in the pot, where bubbles were slowly rising.

The time spent waiting for the water to boil made her feel very peaceful, and her mood suddenly improved.

Sato Ayaka couldn't help but squint her eyes and hum a little tune, her pretty round face full of joy.

Her clear and melodious voice was like the chirping of birds in spring, carrying a cheerful tune.

The singing was beautiful and melodious, like a gentle breeze that drifted throughout the kitchen.

Just as Shiro Kaede came out with her change of clothes, she heard her aunt singing.

He was used to it and didn't stop it.

Because my aunt sings really well.

This is something that he and Erina both agree on.

Kamishiro Shiro leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and listened to his aunt's cheerful humming. He felt as if the fatigue of the day had lessened a bit under the influence of the song.

But after listening for a while...

He slowly opened his eyes and reminded her, "Auntie, the water is boiling."

Upon hearing this, Ayaka Sato immediately responded and hurriedly and clumsily began to put in instant noodles, sausages, and vegetables.

Even the eggs were simply tapped and broken open, allowing the yolk and liquid to flow out on their own.

Next, pour in the seasoning packet as well.

at this time.

Shiro Shiro fell silent, as if he could see the eggshell had also fallen a little.

Um.

I hope I've misread it.

soon.

My aunt cooked the instant noodles and happily placed them on the dining table, then told Bai Feng to come over.

"Bai Feng, come here quickly, your aunt has made you some instant noodles."

Kamishiro Shiro nodded slightly and then sat down in the chair.

Looking at the instant noodles in the bowl, he didn't think much of it, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
