Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

the next day.

Chen Nian was yawning when he was startled as soon as he pushed open the door.

Sakura Uesawa stood outside the door, wearing a soft pink and white cotton T-shirt adorned with falling cherry blossom patterns, making her look simple yet adorable.

Her delicate, petite face was still flawless, and she gave off a feeling of lightness and elegance, like a cat.

"Please use it."

Uesawa Sakura was carrying a plate with a steaming bowl of noodles on it. The aroma of oil and scallions wafted into Chen Nian's nose.

I woke up to a beautiful girl bringing me breakfast. I have to say, it's awesome!

"Try your cooking."

Chen Nian chuckled and slurped a couple of mouthfuls of noodles, then couldn't help but exclaim repeatedly, "Delicious! This is such authentic red oil noodles! Is it like this in your hometown?"

"No, I studied the eating habits of the Chinese people and some basic recipes last night."

"That's so professional..."

Chen Nian was both amused and exasperated: "I didn't call you here to be a maid, so you can relax a bit."

"I either don't do it at all, or I do it well. That's my principle. Since I've decided to follow you, I naturally want to do my best." Uesawa Sakura said earnestly.

"Okay, I'll take you to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities later. But you're a celebrity now, so wear a mask."

Early in the morning, Chen Nian took Shang Zeying out to the supermarket.

Since Sakura Uesawa is such a good cook, why bother with takeout anymore? Just buy more ingredients and let her cook for us. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

The two arrived at the supermarket.

"Please feel free to choose whatever you want to buy, don't be shy," Chen Nian said.

Uesawa Sakura nodded obediently and began to select daily necessities and ingredients needed for cooking.

Seeing the large pile of things she was carrying, with almost no personal belongings, Chen Nian asked in confusion, "Aren't you going to buy anything for yourself?"

"Need not."

"Not even wearing underwear?"

Perhaps the question was too offensive, because Uesawa Sakura gave Chen Nian a reproachful look and explained, "Ninjas usually wear chest wraps, they don't wear that kind of thing."

"That's too cruel," Chen Nian shook his head.

Why?

"Everything has the right to grow freely; it's not good to wrap it up."

Uesawa Sakura froze for half a second before reacting, her face immediately showing disgust. She said in Japanese, "Mr. Chen Nian, are you a pervert?"

After saying that, he turned and walked away in a huff.

"Putting everything else aside, it's true that Japanese girls are gentle; they don't even get angry when teased like this." Chen Nian pushed the cart to the counter to pay.

Sakura Uesawa wanted to carry it herself, but Chen Nian simply left an address for the supermarket, saying that it would be delivered in a while.

"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk around the streets again."

Although the streets weren't exactly bustling in the morning, they were still filled with the lively atmosphere of everyday life.

Chen Nian knew that Shang Zeying was new to the area and unfamiliar with the people, so he wanted to help her get acquainted with the place and adapt gradually.

Throughout the journey, Shangze Ying silently followed beside Chen Nian, whether out of shyness or something else, it was unclear.

Until the two passed by a street stall.

The stall was filled with a rich aroma of sugar, and several children were gathered around it.

The stall was run by an elderly man with gray hair. He picked up a spoon, filled it with melted sugar, and started drawing on a white silicone mat.

Uesawa Sakura looked over, her eyes brightening slightly.

"Interested? Let's go check it out."

Chen Nian led her over and introduced it to her, saying, "This thing is technically called sugar painting, but it's also known as 'sugar figurine' in folk terms. It's made by drawing many patterns with sugar, and it's both beautiful and delicious."

"That's amazing..."

Sakura Uesawa watched as the old man drew a dragon and couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

The old man smiled and greeted her, "Little girl, what kind of pattern do you want? You can draw anything in this book."

Uesawa Sakura turned to look at Chen Nian, as if seeking his opinion, and Chen Nian smiled and nodded.

"......this!"

So she pointed to the butterfly.

"Okay, then I'll draw you two butterflies."

The old man immediately got to work, and soon, two butterflies drawn with syrup were complete.

Uesawa Sakura carefully took the two bamboo skewers, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise; it was the first time she had ever seen such a thing.

Chen Nian paid the money.

On the way back, I noticed she was holding two butterflies in her hand and couldn't help but ask:

Aren't you going to eat?

"It looks so beautiful, I can't bear to eat it."

"If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it, so it won't go to waste later."

"Why!"

Chen Nian suddenly snatched a butterfly and took a bite.

With a snap, the butterfly shattered and turned into syrup in my mouth.

Uesawa Sakura's beautiful eyes widened in anger: "You...you!"

"Stop with all that 'you' and 'me,' I'll buy it for you next time we go out. There's plenty of time."

Sakura Uesawa followed Chen Nian with a pitiful expression. After a while, she seemed to have figured it out and tried putting the butterfly candy into her mouth.

The sweet syrup melted in her mouth with her saliva, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She smiled.

This was the first time she had smiled since she met Chen Nian.

The pain from before has slowly faded, and she has felt the warmth of life by Chen Nian's side. At least she no longer has a long face and a bitter and resentful expression all the time.

"Thanks."

Shangze Ying knew that Chen Nian hadn't meant to tease her.

He wanted to be more relaxed and less reserved, and deliberately used this method to ease the tension between the two of them.

Turns out, this guy is actually quite gentle.

She couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards Chen Nian, which made Shangze Ying's steps become a little lighter, and she quickly caught up with Chen Nian from behind.

"Weren't you reluctant to eat just now?" Chen Nian teased.

Sakura Uesawa bit her lip, suppressing the smile on her lips, turned her head away, gave a soft hum, and ignored him.

........

in the afternoon.

Chen Nian received a phone call.

It was Su Jinyu who called.

He knew that although Su Jinyu had always wanted to see him, it was inconvenient for her to move around. In addition, now that the whole world wanted to know the whereabouts of Buyu, there would inevitably be more eyes watching her.

Because she is from Shanhe Yong'an, and so is Bu Yu, many people want to find Chen Nian through her.

"Xiao Yu?"

Do you miss me?

"think."

"Then why didn't you come to Luzhou to find me?"

"Well, I just got back from a big battle, I need to rest for a few days."

"Could he be secretly hanging out with those Japanese girls and having so much fun he's forgotten all about home, Silent Brother~~"

"How could that be? I've already handed her over to Tang Rou. You can ask Tang Rou if you don't believe me."

"Hmph! My best friend is coming to visit you for me today. I've already given her your address, and she'll be there soon."

"What? Your best friend!" Chen Nian exclaimed in shock.

"Yes, she's a very close friend from when I was little. She was studying in London for a while and only recently returned to China. She even came to my house to play a few days ago."

There's a saying: "Beware of fire, thieves, and your best friend..."

"It's alright, I trust her completely! Oh, she seems to have arrived already, the one wearing the red scarf, please treat her well."

"A red scarf?"
