My daily life in love is too contrary to my character.

"Okay, thank you, Shiraishi!"

Shiraishi Sawa is the type of person who only likes to eat the egg white when boiled, and only likes to eat the yolk when eating salted duck eggs. He usually eats the yolk of boiled eggs just to avoid wasting them. Now that this cat has helped solve this problem, it seems pretty good.

I didn't cook too many, since the kitten doesn't eat much anyway. I just cooked three eggs. After the kitten ate the three egg whites in three bites, I put the yolks in a bowl and handed them to Yuuko.

Yuko Takanashi was intently squatting next to the laundry tub, watching the kitten lick the water from the bowl, until Hideki Shiraishi held the bowl up to her face before she noticed.

Unable to say 'sorry,' Takanashi Yuuko gave Shiraishizawa Hide an apologetic smile, took the bowl, and began to mash the egg yolk with a spoon.

After mashing all three egg yolks into a near-powder state, I placed the bowl in front of the kitten.

As if sensing that it was more comfortable here than outside and that the two people in front of it meant no harm, the kitten stopped trembling. After drinking its water, it quietly lay down on the blanket and moved closer when it saw the bowl being served.

"I ate! I ate!"

Yuko Takanashi exclaimed excitedly as she saw the kitten begin to lick the food bit by bit.

"No, Takanashi, why are you so excited about it eating something?"

"Wow, I'm so excited! Shiraishi-kun, what should we name it?"

"Why is it Shiraishi-kun again? It was Shiraishi before?"

When asked this question, Takanashi Yuko became shy and used the "closed mouth" technique again.

"Alright, never mind I asked. Let's continue with Shiraishi-kun. If you ask me, this cat is so cute, maybe..."

"What else?" Seeing that Shiraishi Sawa Hide was hesitant to speak, Takanashi Yuuko asked curiously.

Hideaki Shiraishi pointed at the cat with one finger and at Yuko Takanashi with the other.

"I suggest we call it Youzi!"

The kitten raised its head and blinked at Shiraishi Zexiu.

Chapter 75 Are there really people who are born with incompatible personalities?

Unfortunately, the kitten's name was not the elegant "Yuko" that Shiraishi Sawa had envisioned, but rather the most ordinary "Mimi".

Although Shiraishi Sawa Hide strongly opposed the name, Takanashi Yuuko completely ignored him, and the name was decided.

After dinner, Yuko Takanashi, worried that the kitten might cause some trouble, carried the entire washbasin to her room.

They had agreed to clean the living room together, but now Shiraishi Sawa was left alone, staring at Takanashi's closed door. Shiraishi Sawa smiled silently, shook his head, and began cleaning on his own.

Not long after the big cleaning, and since both of them are quite clean, there wasn't much dirt anywhere. The main thing was to put things into storage boxes to free up some space.

I already had a lot to buy tomorrow, and now we have a new kitten at home, so the task is even more arduous.

Shiraishi Sawa took out a pen and white paper and began to practice calligraphy while writing down a list.

I roughly listed it out. We agreed to get up early tomorrow to go shopping together. Shiraishi Sawa then went to practice boxing, and then took a shower and went to bed.

--

Hideki Shiraishi, who got up at six in the morning for a run, noticed that Yuko Takanashi was already putting on her shoes in the entryway.

"Didn't we agree to leave at nine o'clock? Even if we got up earlier to prepare lunch, it wouldn't be this late, Takanashi?"

“No,” Takanashi continued putting on his shoes, looking up as he answered, “The kitten’s teeth aren’t quite right yet. It didn’t eat much of yesterday’s egg yolk. I’m going out now to buy it a bag of goat milk.”

Takanashi Yuuko seems to really like this kitten.

"Let's go out together, I'm going for my morning run."

"it is good."

However, the two did not go to buy goat milk together, since Shiraishi Sawa was out for a run.

When I came back from my morning run, Takanashi Yuuko was squatting in front of the washbasin. Shiraishizawa Hide came out of the kitchen with two steamed buns, ate them, and noticed Takanashi Yuuko was still squatting there. He was a little curious.

"Did Mimi drink goat milk?"

Takanashi Yuuko made a shushing gesture to him, and when she went closer, she saw that Mimi hadn't gotten up at all; the cat was curled up in a ball, sleeping.

"So you've been watching the bird sleep the whole time you've been watching it."

Don't you think Mimi is cute when she sleeps?

"I give up," Shiraishizawa Hide slapped his forehead. "Takanashi, you must be a hopeless romantic. I'm going back to lie down for a bit. We'll leave for grocery shopping at nine o'clock sharp. Ugh!"

"What's wrong?" Takanashi Yuko covered Mimi with the blanket again, looking at the annoyed Shiraishi Sawa.

"We should have asked the three guests last night what their dietary restrictions were and what they particularly wanted to eat, otherwise how would we buy groceries? Luckily, we still have tomorrow morning. If all else fails, we can go to the supermarket to buy some."

Let's send them a message now so they can reply as soon as they wake up.

"it is good."

Yuko Takanashi also took out her phone and started operating it.

"President, are there any dietary restrictions or things you particularly crave?"

"Once you enter the mulberry grove, besides green peppers, are there any other foods you can't eat or that you particularly crave?"

"I don't eat tofu puffs, but anything else is fine. You can make anything you want to eat. If I really have a particular preference, I'd say fish." Soga Kiriren actually replied after Shiraishizawa Hide edited and sent Ichiyo's message.

"Okay, I got it. President, do you get up this early even on weekends? It's not even seven o'clock yet."

"No, I just woke up right now. I'm going to go back to sleep later. Why are you up so early, Shiraishi-kun?"

"After my morning run, I'm going back to sleep now."

"Then... goodnight?"

"Hahaha, okay, goodnight!"

Awakened by the special notification sound, Soga Kiriren put her phone down beside her, turned over, and prepared to go back to sleep. After thinking for a moment, she picked up her phone again, hugged it to her chest, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Shiraishi Sawa didn't receive a reply from Ichiyo. Well, who would get up before 7 a.m. on a weekend? After glancing at Takanashi Yuuko, who was still looking at the kitten with adoration in her eyes, Shiraishi Sawa went back to his room for a nap.

At nine o'clock sharp, Shiraishi Sawa Hideki left his room, dressed and ready, and Takanashi Yuuko was already waiting at the door.

"Let's go to the market?"

--

There weren't many young people at the Tahara Market to begin with, and thanks to Shiraishi Sawa's introduction, everyone had already gotten to know and liked Takanashi Yuko. It's said that several aunties wanted to introduce their sons to Takanashi Yuko.

"Auntie, how much is this fish?" Shiraishi Zexiu had his eye on a large bluefish. He wanted to make a Chinese-style spicy boiled fish, but he didn't know if Soga Kirei would like it.

"Shiroishi, it's been a long time since you've been here. This is the one, right? Let me weigh it," the fishmonger said, scooping the fish out of the basket and placing it on the scale. "Deducting the weight of the basket, it's eight and a half pounds. At 220 yen per pound, I'll give you 1800 yen."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll leave the fish here with you and come back to pick it up after I've bought everything."

Although it would be best to buy the fish again tomorrow and make boiled fish again, the whole process of preparing boiled fish takes a long time. Shiraishi Sawa is worried that there won't be enough time tomorrow, so it would be better to do the preliminary processing of the fish today.

Just as Shiraishi Sawa was about to take out his money, he suddenly heard the fishmonger say, "Isn't this Takanashi? Takanashi, you're here today too. Is this for you to eat? Then it doesn't need to be 1800 yen, Shiraishi, you can just give me 1700 yen."

"Thank you, Auntie." Takanashi Yuuko smiled and bowed, and Shiraishi Sawa saw the fishmonger's face beam with joy.

Yuko Takanashi, the walking discount machine!

The two of them went around again and each bought some basic ingredients for their own specialty dishes, which they temporarily stored at the store.

It was already 10:30. I took out my phone, and I saw that Chiyo had replied to the message a little after 10:00.

"I particularly dislike eel. If you like it, could you make me some tempura shrimp? Please, Chef Shiraishi!"

"Okay, okay, but even on weekends, Miss should get up earlier. Isn't 10 o'clock too late?"

"It's not unreasonable for the young lady to sleep until midnight!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the family business will surely perish in your generation. Are you interested in transferring the family fortune to me?"

"You can marry into the family."

"To become a live-in son-in-law and then a live-in son-in-law? That won't do. I'm the only son in the Baishi family."

"Then you can only watch as I squander the family fortune."

"Just leave me 1.7 million yen, thank you. I'm almost seventeen today, you know what I mean?"

"I don't understand. Time to get up and do yoga. Bye-bye!"

"You're still not up when I get to the sang room!"

"All I can say in replying to your message is that I'm awake. Isn't it normal for 'awake' and 'getting out of bed' to be slightly different?"

"Okay, bye-bye, see you tomorrow."

"Bye-Bye."

Originally, Shiraishizawa Hide only intended to ask for a quick update and then stop chatting, but he couldn't help but tease Ichiyo Chiyo for a while. Seeing that Takanashi Yuuko was also fiddling with her phone, he asked:

"How's it going, Takanashi? Has Kuramochi Sakura replied to your message yet?"

"Reply received."

"She doesn't eat certain things. The president doesn't eat tofu puffs, and she doesn't eat eel when she goes to the sang restaurant, but she especially likes tempura shrimp."

Takanashi Yuuko's expression suddenly turned somewhat strange.

"What's wrong, Takanashi?"

"Sakura-chan... doesn't like tempura shrimp, she loves eel the most..."

"The exact opposite of Senior Ichiru..."

Chapter 76 Family Status Shouldn't Be Like This

"Those two... really..." For a moment, Shiraishi Sawa Hide didn't know what to say, "Their attributes clash quite a bit."

"What should we do now, Shiraishi?"

Takanashi Yuuko was completely bewildered and didn't know what to do.

"In this case, we can only buy both eel and shrimp, and then make a special plate for them and just put it in front of them."

This was the optimal solution that Shiraishi Sawah came up with after thinking for a while; doing nothing would only spoil the fun for both of them.

After considering it, Yuko Takanashi agreed, but she didn't plan to go back and buy it. Shrimp and eel weren't particularly difficult to prepare, so she would buy them and cook them fresh tomorrow.

After shopping, they had a lot of things, so the two of them took the groceries back to their apartment.
