Tender and juicy Dongpo pork.

It is presented before your eyes like a work of art, with an attractive bright red color.

Meaty.

Straight through.

It floats gently in your mouth.

It's so delicate, like willow branches swaying in a spring breeze, that it melts in your mouth without getting stuck in your teeth.

The fatty part is perfectly balanced with the lean meat, soft and smooth, like silk gliding across the tongue.

however.

Even more amazing.

Although the fatty meat is rich, it is not greasy.

It seems to possess a magical power, dissolving all the greasiness into nothingness.

……

Take a light bite.

The meat's broth bursts forth instantly, like a mountain spring, carrying a rich and mellow aroma that flows freely in the mouth.

It may seem a little greasy at first glance, but as you chew it slowly, it becomes richer and more fragrant.

It has a fragrant and sticky texture.

It's as light as a cloud, yet not at all cloying.

The sticky texture lingers between your teeth, as if telling a story of reluctance to part with the delicious flavor, leaving you with a lingering, unforgettable taste.

At that moment, Erina sat there quietly, her eyes filled with excitement.

Her bright eyes, like twinkling stars in the night sky, revealed her deep love and ecstasy for the Dongpo pork. Her gaze was fixed on the pork on the plate, as if afraid the delicious flavor would vanish in an instant.

The rest.

She could no longer suppress the desire in her heart.

I couldn't wait to pick up my chopsticks and eat a few more bites.

Every bite is a delightful experience, and the satisfied expression on their faces makes it seem as if the whole world has been reduced to the deliciousness of this Dongpo pork.

……

time.

A little while later...

Erina was licking her lips, a gesture that carried a touch of cuteness and playfulness, carefully savoring the exquisite taste she had just enjoyed. Then, she looked down at the empty plate, inevitably feeling a little unsatisfied.

Afterwards, her eyes revealed helplessness and disappointment.

Followed by.

Erina slowly turned her head.

They exchanged a glance with Hisako beside them, their eyes filled with tacit understanding and comprehension, and instantly they both understood what the other was thinking.

So, the two women said to Ye Chen in unison, "Another one, please!"

The sound is crisp and pleasant.

Listen closely, and you'll hear a hint of coquetry in her voice.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit amused and exasperated.

A helpless yet indulgent smile appeared on his face. Even if Dongpo pork is delicious, they can't eat this much, can they? He thought to himself, thinking they were really too greedy.

"You want more?"

Ye Chen asked, feigning surprise, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of getting as fat as a pig?" he joked, trying to tease the two adorable little girls.

"I...I won't get fat!"

Erina blushed, hummed in response.

There was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes, as if she were defending her love for food.

what the hell?

It's just eating one more serving of Dongpo pork belly, how could it make you fat?

She muttered to herself, thinking that Ye Chen's worries were completely unnecessary.

"Uh!"

Looking at Erina's adorable appearance.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, then shook his head and said, "Alright, then you can wait a moment."

He then turned around and continued working, his figure bustling about in the kitchen, skillfully handling the ingredients, like a highly skilled artist creating his own work.

……

At last.

We've eaten and drunk our fill.

Erina, feeling quite content, suddenly remembered something.

She quickly said to Ye Chen, "Tomorrow night, there will be a banquet hosted by the Totsuki Culinary Association and various celebrities from the culinary world. Oh, they all have long-term cooperative relationships with Totsuki Culinary Association and have business dealings with them, so..."

A hint of expectation flickered in her eyes: "Could you participate?"

"Row."

Ye Chen replied without hesitation.

"For your sake, I'll reluctantly agree."

He deliberately feigned reluctance, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing his inner pleasure.

"You agreed?"

"Okay, I'll go back and make the arrangements now."

Erina's watery eyes widened slightly, then she smiled broadly and chuckled.

That smile was like a flower blooming in spring, bright and beautiful. It seemed that... she hadn't shown such a happy smile in a long time.

……

The next day.

The sun sets and twilight falls.

A bright moon slowly rose, dotted with countless stars, bathing the earth in a pure white light, as if shrouded in a light veil. The gentle moonlight spilled across the land, as if draping the entire world in a mysterious veil.

She wore a pure white off-shoulder dress, shimmering brightly, like the most dazzling star in the night sky.

Her expression was calm, with a hint of pride and a touch of aloofness, like that of a noble princess, possessing an innate air of elegance.

Simultaneously.

Skin as white as jade.

It blooms with a subtle fragrance under the setting sun, as if exuding a captivating charm.

Her long golden hair was tied up with a red ribbon, making her look exceptionally energetic. She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, elegant and noble.

she!

Stand quietly in front of the mirror.

Her bright eyes held a hint of shyness!

Looking at herself in the mirror, Erina Nakiri blushed slightly.

Her blush was like the sunset, beautiful and captivating. It was clear that she had made ample preparations for this banquet and had dressed herself up beautifully.

……

"Wow!"

At that moment, Hisako, who was behind her, couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp in surprise.

"As expected of Miss Erina, you are so beautiful that you seem otherworldly. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that you are a fairy who accidentally fell from the sky." She exclaimed sincerely, her voice filled with envy.

Then she chuckled and said, "I'm afraid Ye Chen will be completely captivated by such a beautiful young lady."

"what?"
