It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Looking at Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed to have something really good, Nakagawa Nobuyuki stroked his chin and watched with great interest, just like watching various cooking variety shows.

Especially since Nagasaki Suyo would mutter the instructions in a low voice, it was a bit too responsive.

……

Now it’s almost done, now just add the sauce…

Hmm...chicken essence, sugar...and sauce——

"Is there any soy sauce?"

As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled gently and handed over a glass bottle of soy sauce.

"...You know all this?"

Nagasaki Suyo looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was leaning against the cabinet door with surprise, and took the soy sauce from Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hand.

"Not only do I know this, I also know that if I pour the soy sauce like this, it will definitely be extremely salty in the end..."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brows twitched, and he immediately pressed the bottleneck, stopping the young lady in front of him from using soy sauce so generously.

“…I always put this much when I make it at home.”

However, this made the eldest lady in front of him quite dissatisfied. She frowned slightly and looked at Zhonghe Xin with some dissatisfaction.

"Nagasaki, you probably use reduced-salt stuff at home... If you use the stuff I have at home, it will definitely be too salty when you cook it."

Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was speaking with certainty and a serious expression, Nagasaki Suyo still had some doubts in her heart, but nodded reluctantly.

... Could it be that there is something in this soy sauce?

That’s not right… Then shouldn’t I just eat more to see the effects?

With such an unclear feeling, Nagasaki Suyo frowned slightly and just skillfully stir-fried the chicken pieces and komatsuna in the pot.

"Nakagawa, can you help me get the plate?"

He tapped the spatula gently on the edge of the pot, knocked the stuck vegetable leaves back into the pot, and softly called out to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was waiting quietly on the side.

...It feels quite similar to being at home. Every time I finish cooking, I call my mother to come over for dinner.

He let out a light breath and took the bone plate from Nakagawa Nobuyuki's hand.

"...Shigasaki, if you win, could you please stop laughing at me?"

...Haha, and Nakagawa's look was one that looked like he was begging for mercy in all seriousness.

Nagasaki Suyo chuckled, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she was in a very good mood because of Nakagawa Nobuyuki's surrender in advance.

I told you, you are very confident here, right?

After putting her specialty stir-fried dishes into the bone dish, Nagasaki Suyo, who was feeling a little proud, had already forgotten about [checking if this guy put anything weird into the dishes].

Chapter 135: Miss Su Shi, it’s best to be happy.

"..."

"..."

At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Nagasaki Motoyo were looking at each other indifferently.

Apparently, both of them had just tasted each other's food and were now about to comment on each other's food.

Nagasaki Suyo's clothes did not burst, and the food in front of Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not glow. The two of them just slowly crossed their eyes.

Rewind time to five minutes ago.

"..."

that's terrible.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki held the chopsticks lightly with his fingers, feeling the fragrance lingering in his mouth, thinking with some regret.

...I didn't expect that this stir-fry from Nagasaki was so delicious!

It’s really delicious, no kidding.

The juicy texture and bright seasoning of komatsuna make it a hot dish, but it is still quite refreshing in the summer. The chicken pieces with a slight garlic flavor make people want to eat a few more bites.

Even though I have already eaten lunch...the deliciousness of this stir-fried dish has become a simple fact.

Although it's a little salty because I didn't stop it in time, it's still within an acceptable range.

"..."

that's terrible.

Nagasaki Suyo also squeezed the chopsticks in her hand, feeling the aroma of egg lingering in her mouth, and she didn't know how to start talking.

...I never thought that Zhonghe’s fried egg rolls are so good!

The slightly burnt golden skin contains a soft-boiled egg that is half-solidified. The texture is so rich that it’s almost too much! Not to mention the slight seaweed taste…

Although the skin has become a little cold due to being left for a while, it is still very delicious.

Wasn't it said that he was just a normal high school boy living alone? Why is the food so delicious?

Therefore, both of them were a little hesitant, not knowing how to start the conversation... Because they had both just said such high-sounding words, they could only exchange glances awkwardly.

...Do you want to praise him/her?

"you win."

"I surrender."

That’s right, at this moment, the momentum of the two men was lost at the same time, and with the same unnatural expressions, they admitted defeat to each other at the same time.

Sure enough, my share is not bad either, right?

Just as Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help laughing secretly in her heart and gently covered the corners of her lips, she felt that the two of them were just like some cheap comedy. Just as she was about to raise her head to reconcile with Nakagawa Nobu——

"Well, I win."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki folded his arms rudely, crossed his legs proudly under Nagasaki Suze's thorny gaze, and raised his head slightly, showing off like a victorious rooster.

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo remained silent, and glared at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who looked triumphant, with an increasingly piercing gaze.

At this moment, it was as if the egg roll in the bowl turned into the extremely annoying Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her, and Nagasaki Suyo bit off a thick-fried egg roll viciously.

...Although it's delicious, this guy still deserves a beating!

"...No, Shigaraki, can you at least complain about me?"

Seeing Nagasaki Suyo in front of him just staring at him with no intention of speaking, the proud look on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face suddenly collapsed in an instant, and he complained with great dissatisfaction.

"...I don't have time to play these fake games with you."

Nagasaki Suyo snorted softly and raised her slightly curly flaxen hair. Under the sunlight, the girl's slightly raised mouth corners were particularly eye-catching.

Even though it was me who proposed the competition, and I had been fooling around with Zhonghe for so long, and I was the first one who couldn't help laughing...

But at this moment, Nagasaki Suyo acted like an ignorant little girl and started to throw a tantrum.

But it's obvious that Nakagawa Nobuyuki doesn't seem to be buying it.

When he saw that Nagasaki Motoyo, who was sitting opposite him, just turned her head away and continued to eat in small bites, Nakagawa Nobuka smiled softly, sighed, and turned around to continue reading the book and composition teaching video.

Now it seems familiar... Just now I kept calling him [Nakagawa-san], which sounded a bit too distant.

But the next moment, an extremely familiar yet somewhat hurried voice called out to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"Wait, Nakagawa!"

……

Burnt egg rolls, quite delicious.

...Come to think of it, how long has it been since I had a meal prepared by someone else?

Some of them I can’t remember.

However, the last person who cooked for me was probably my mother.

Feeling this familiar yet strange feeling, Nagasaki Motoyo pursed her lips gently, but her fingers unconsciously exerted force.

Maybe I was hungry, so the food he cooked tasted so good.

Despite this, Nagasaki Suyo could clearly feel the inexplicable lightness of this thought, and could only ponder silently in her heart, trying to find a reasonable reason.

At this moment, Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously raised her eyes and was making habitual thinking movements - and just happened to see Nakagawa Nobuyuki standing up, as if he was about to leave.

Therefore, just like she had once tried to call her mother who was in a hurry to go out, Nagasaki Suyo, who was confused at the moment, also subconsciously tried to stop Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her.

……

"what happened?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just received the book and his mobile phone, looked back with some surprise, and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo who had stood up in front of him in a hurry, and his brows twitched.

"…Why did you stand up suddenly…I'm not going to disappear instantly."

Feeling a little puzzled, Nakagawa Nobuyuki flipped through the bookmarks he had made at the time, raised his eyes to look at Nagasaki Motoyo who was standing in a daze in front of him, and started to complain in confusion.

"Why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

Nagasaki Suyo just realized her own gaffe at this moment and frowned slightly. She also couldn't understand what was going on with her and why she suddenly got so excited... However, she still muttered a few words to Nakagawa Nobuyuki in a low voice.

You were acting so frivolous just now, why are you complaining about me now?

"Because you're already happy, aren't you?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki sat back on the old sofa, tilted his head, looked back with a rather strange expression, and asked casually.

"……me?"

After hearing this, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but be stunned. The questions in her mouth seemed to be answered by herself, and she gently examined her own heart.

Are you happy to visit Zhonghe today?

...No, what do you mean by coming to visit Zhonghe? I came here because of Xiaoxiang's promise! It's all for Xiaoxiang!

...Yes, just to find Xiaoxiang!

What about happiness?

...the idle chats they had while cooking together, the coffee they made together, the kitten they brought home together, and the milk he gave her...

And when I secretly browsed his posts at night... when I secretly watched the videos this guy had submitted before...

...Is that considered happy?

However, this kind of thinking did not last long, but was interrupted by the ignorant Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of him.

"Don't be so serious and hesitant... I'll be super hurt if you deny me."

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo blinked and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was looking back at her with a hurt expression.

“…Not happy at all.”

"…Also, Nakagawa, your expression is disgusting."

As if the injured look of Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her tickled her funny bone, Nagasaki Suyo tried hard to suppress the slightly raised corners of her mouth and turned her head away as if she was disgusted.

"Isn't it too much to say that it's disgusting?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Nagasaki Suyo, whose inexplicably solemn expression had disappeared, and he continued to complain as before.

Well, after all, a happier atmosphere makes people more comfortable.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at the progress bar that was crawling forward and smiled slightly in his heart.
