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

Hearing the voice, Soga Kiriren looked up and saw Shiraishi Sawa Hide smiling and waving.

The sun is shining especially warmly today.

"I'll come down to get you."

After saying this, Shiraishi Sawah disappeared from Soga Kirei's sight again, but soon came out from the stairs next to him.

"President, you're here really early today. I thought most of you would arrive around five o'clock," Shiraishi Sawa said as he walked up to Soga Kirei.

"I want to come here as soon as possible to see what Shiraishi's house is like."

Soga Kirei calmly revealed her true thoughts.

Shiraishi Zexiu chuckled, "Okay, I understand. Chairman, I'll take you to meet my home now."

"Miss, please remember to let me know an hour before you go home, okay?"

From the car parked in front of the apartment, Akiko Saeba said, and when she saw Hideaki Shiraishi turn her gaze toward her, she waved as a greeting.

"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Aunt Zuo Ye."

Suwo Wulian turned around and bowed slightly as she spoke.

After Akiko Saba drove away, Kirei Soga followed Hideaki Shiraishi into the apartment.

"President, you can wear these slippers." After opening the door, Shiraishi Sawa took a pair of slippers from the shoe rack and placed them in front of Soga Kiri Ren.

"President, you can look around here as you like. If you get bored, we recently got a kitten named... Mimi. You can go and play with it; it's quite cute."

Oh right, that's my room. You can go in and have a look if you want, but that's Takanashi's room. You can't go in without her permission, President.

The TV's over there, the remote's on the sofa. Even though you don't read comics, President, there are a few short comedy comics over there. You could try them... What's wrong, President?"

Shiraishi Sawa, noticing that Soga Kirei had stopped taking off her shoes and was staring at her, asked in confusion.

"Takanashi's room? Does Takanashi live here too?" Soga Kiriren asked, pointing to Takanashi Yuuko's room.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, right, Takanashi is my roommate."

"So she's the roommate who watched 'The Way in the Wind'. Are you related?"

"No, why do you say that?"

"Because the school says her uncle is your uncle, right?"

"This uncle is just our landlord. He's quite familiar with both of our families, but we're not related."

After explaining, Shiraishi Sawah seemed to remember something and added:

"Please, President, don't tell the school about this. It will have a big impact on Takanashi's reputation."

"Does your house only have two rooms?"

“Yes, it’s a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom apartment. It’s pretty good for Tokyo. The landlord, Uncle Tojo, gave us a great discount.” Shiraishi Sawah thought this was just the curiosity of a wealthy family, so he answered in detail.

Soga Kirei's plan to move into this apartment on her own was shattered, so she could only nod and continue taking off the shoes she hadn't finished taking off.

Just then, Yuuko Takanashi, wearing an apron and carrying a spatula, came out of the kitchen and asked curiously:

"Who's here, Shiraishi-kun? Is it Ichiryu-senpai or President Suga?"

"Yes, Chairman." Shiraishi Sawashu led Soga Kirei into the living room.

"Welcome, good afternoon, Chairman."

Takanashi Yuuko bowed, and Soga Kirei returned the bow, though it wasn't necessary for her as a senior.

"Alright, President, feel free to look around for now. I haven't finished cooking tonight's dishes yet, so I have to go back and start cooking."

Upon seeing Soga Kirei nod, Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuuko returned to the kitchen together.

"The batter feels a bit dry, we need to add some water..."

--

Soga Kirei sat on the sofa for a while without turning on the TV. Mimi was still sleeping at this time. After thinking for a moment, Soga Kirei put down the short comic book recommended by Shiraishi Sawa, walked to the door of Shiraishi Sawa's room, pushed open the door and went in.

Contrary to what other girls had told her, boys' rooms were not typically messy and smelly. While not spotless, they were certainly not dirty either. Shiraishi Sawa's room gave her a very comfortable and natural feeling.

Several calligraphy scrolls hung on the wall opposite the bed, but there was nothing under one of the hooks. Soga Kiriren's lips curled up slightly. This must have been the spot where the copy of "Prince Ito's Wish" was originally located.

Out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly noticed the wallet on the bedside table; the wallet was open.

The top compartment contains a group photo of three people.

Chapter 78 Getting help will speed things up

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Soga Kirei appeared at the kitchen door and asked the two people who were busy inside.

"President, you're a guest. It's not right to ask a guest to help with cooking. Just go and rest and wait for dinner tonight," Shiraishi Zexiu replied with a smile.

Soga Muren shook her head. "I'd like to help too."

"What kind of cooking methods are you good at, President? Stir-frying or boiling are both fine," Shiraishi Sawa asked, seeing Soga Kiri's resolute attitude.

Upon hearing this, Soga Kirei lowered her head and clasped her hands together. "I'm not very good at it. I don't think I can be of any help. I'm sorry."

After saying that, he left the kitchen dejectedly, but was stopped halfway by Shiraishi Zexiu.

"It's alright, Chairman. Even if you don't know how to cook, there's still something I can do to help you."

I pulled Soga Kirei to the dining table, gave her a plastic knife and a cutting board, and placed them on the table.

He then took out several cucumbers and a large handful of bean sprouts, and said to Soga no Kirei:

"Then, President, these are for you. They're also for making boiled fish especially for you." Shiraishi Zexiu took out a cucumber, cut off a small section, and then cut it into four sections with a cross. "Please cut these cucumbers like this, President."

"Also," Shiraishi Sawah pulled off the top of a bean sprout, "I don't really like eating bean sprout tops, but I really don't have time to deal with them anymore. Could you please dispose of these bean sprouts after you finish cutting the cucumber, President?"

“Okay.” Suwo Wulian nodded vigorously.

"Thank you very much, Chairman." Shiraishi Sawah put his hands together. "Then I'll go back and continue. Chairman, please be careful when you use the knife. Don't get hurt. Don't rush things."

Hideaki Shiraishi returned to the kitchen and continued making sushi.

Having overheard the entire conversation outside, Takanashi Yuuko asked Shiraishi Sawa Hide in a low voice,

“A few days ago, Shiraishi didn’t pick and choose the bean sprouts or the roots at all.”

"I was picky about food today." Shiraishi Zexiu responded with a smile, everything understood without words.

"Shiraishi-kun is such a kind person."

Yuuko Takanashi, who always thought of others, naturally understood that this was something Shiraishi Sawa Hide specially arranged for her so as not to hurt Soga Kiriren's desire to help.

Takanashi Yuuko glanced again at Soga Kirei, who was diligently and earnestly slicing a cucumber.

--

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The doorbell rang on the apartment door.

"Takanashi, have you told Kuramochi Sakura exactly how many floors and rooms our house is?"

"No, I gave her the exact address, and I'll go downstairs to pick her up later."

“That’s Ichiryu-san,” Shiraishi Sawah turned around and peeked out. “President, could you please open the door for me? It’s Ichiryu-san.”

Soga nods, takes a tissue to dry her hands, which are a little damp from picking bean sprouts, and gets up to open the door.

"Ah, it's Soga-san. I didn't expect you to arrive so early. Where's Shiraishi-kun?"

As the door opened, Shiraishizawa Hide heard Ichiyo's distinctive, seductive voice and loudly responded:

"Shiraishi-kun is working hard in the kitchen to prepare dinner tonight. You all arrived so early; it's only three o'clock now."

"Attending the banquet a little early is a virtue befitting a young lady." Chiyo Ichigo curiously walked into the kitchen and watched Shiraishi Sawa and Takanashi Yuko prepare the food.

"Good afternoon, Ichiryu-senpai. I'm sorry I'm cooking right now and can't bow to you," Takanashi Yuko greeted Ichiryu Chiyo as she entered.

"Don't talk to Takanashi like that. Bowing is too formal. And you don't need to call me senpai anymore. I don't care about that. You can just call me Ichirin."

"Since you're here, can you please call me Senior Shiraishi from now on?" Shiraishi Zexiu interrupted, diverting his attention.

"I suddenly realized that you, Shiraishi-senpai, are clearly younger than me in both age and age, yet you've never called me senpai. We live in the same apartment, Shiraishi-senpai, your manners need improvement."

"Forget it, don't call me that anymore, I'm afraid it will shorten my lifespan."

Shiraishi Sawa took out a roll of green onions from the side and handed it to Ichiryu Chiyo. "Ichiryu-san, if you're free, chop this roll of green onions for me. If you don't want to do it, go to the living room and rest. But please give this roll of green onions to the chairman."

Chiyo, who was about to refuse outright, accepted the green onion after hearing the second half of the sentence.

Upon entering Chiyo, she discovered that Soga Kirei, who had brought her in, had not followed her to the kitchen, but had immediately returned to the dining table to pick bean sprouts.

Out of curiosity, she took a scallion and sat down next to Soga Kirei.

"Soga-san, why are you picking bean sprouts?"

“Shiraishi-kun doesn’t eat bean sprouts, I’ll remove them for him.” Soga Kirei, who had just overheard the conversation in the kitchen, continued, “Ichiryu-kun, you can put the scallions here, I’ll chop them up later.”

Fortunately, Chiyo didn't know that Shiraishi Sawa actually ate bean sprouts, otherwise it would have been another social media attack.

"Well, since you've been helping me, how can I go to the living room to rest? I'm not very good with a knife, Suwa-san, you can cut it, and I'll help you pick the bean sprouts."

The two of them were much faster, and soon Chiyo Ichiriki and Kirei Soga brought in all the chopped and prepared cucumbers, scallions, and bean sprouts.

"Put all the cucumbers and bean sprouts into the big bowl that holds the fish. Only put a little bit of scallion in, and put the rest in the plate next to it for now." Shiraishi Zexiu was busy with both hands and could only direct two people.

"Leave the rest to me and Takanashi. Please, both of you, go and rest in the living room!" Shiraishi Sawa gave a perfunctory salute with his greasy hands.

"Ah, my favorite shrimp." Chiyo Ichiri stepped forward and bent down to look at the shrimp that was already coated with a thin layer of batter. "Shiraishi-kun, isn't there a little too little batter?"

Soga Kirei looked at Shiraishi Sawa with great curiosity as he said that the boiled fish was specially made for her. She had never eaten such a dish before.

"Don't rush to fry the shrimp. Tempura tastes best when it's freshly fried and eaten immediately. I'll coat it with another layer of batter later to add more texture. This is my secret recipe!"

Seeing Soga Kirei staring at the large bowl of boiled fish,

"President, the boiled fish hasn't officially started cooking yet. You'll see how delicious it is in a bit. It's a Chinese dish that I'm very good at. By the way, President, how spicy can you eat?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I can tolerate spicy food in regular restaurants quite well," Soga Kirei replied after a moment's thought.

"I understand. Then I'll make it a bit spicier. Boiled fish isn't good if it's not spicy."
