He couldn't help but pick up another croquette and stuff it into his mouth - he tasted the three dishes in this bento one by one, and each one brought him some surprises.

He looked at Nohara Anzi, and his impression of this little white rabbit changed greatly - this kid's talent in cooking could probably crush most people.

Nohara Anko was a little nervous at first, but as she saw Uesugi Kiyoshi's expression gradually relax, she thought that the lunch box might be to his taste, so she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a sweet smile appeared on her originally sad and gloomy face.

In this way, in an environment where no one was around, I was alone with Uesugi, and he happily ate the lunch box I made.

It would be great if it could be like this every day.

Nohara Anzi lowered her eyes, started playing with the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and her mind began to fantasize about all sorts of things. She was so confused for a moment that she just stood there.

Uesugi Kiyoshi was not a greedy person. He only tasted a little, leaving about half of the food in the lunch box, and then turned his attention to Nohara Anko.

He's not here for lunch!

"Nohara-san, thank you for your hospitality. This is truly the best lunch I've had all year."

Nohara Anzi, who was in a daze, was awakened by Uesugi's clear voice and waved her hands in panic.

"No, no, no! Such simple food and drink are not a sign of respect!"

She first responded to Uesugi Kiyoshi's polite words in a very standard manner.

"I wonder if the food tastes good to Uesugi-san's liking? I'm sorry, the ingredients are so simple, I hope you don't mind!"

Nohara Anko shook her head and bowed, which made Uesugi Kiyoshi feel a little embarrassed, so he had to change the subject and chat for a while.

"I didn't say anything flattering. Was this made by Nohara-san? Is there any special secret recipe? This is truly a delicacy. Whoever can marry Nohara-san in the future will be truly blessed."

Nohara Anko was subconsciously still responding to the first half of Uesugi Kiyoshi's sentence.

"Ah! I added apple cider vinegar and a little honey to the croquettes, steamed the sausages before frying them, and fried the chicken nuggets just by flipping them a few more times."

When she heard the second half of Uesugi Kiyoshi's sentence, her pretty face turned red instantly.

This, this, this! What does this mean!

Is Uesugi-san hinting at me?! Is he saying that my cooking skills have reached the standard of being Uesugi-san's wife!

Me, me, me! Is it possible for someone like me to do this?

Uesugi Kiyoshi naturally didn't know that Nohara Anko had imagined so many things. He just changed the subject and asked about the mirage.

He hesitated for a few seconds and then spoke directly.

"It may sound a bit presumptuous, but, Nohara-san, have you encountered anything strange recently?"

"Well, I mean the kind that is unreasonable, bizarre and terrifying?"

"Like something out of a ghost story or horror movie."

Uesugi Kiyoshi didn't know how to explain the mirage and the ghost realm to Nohara Anko, so he could only speak vaguely. What he didn't expect was that as soon as he finished speaking, Nohara Anko's little face turned pale.

She no longer cared about her own wild thoughts, and the horrifying scene from last night instantly appeared in her mind.

She had a deep memory of her uncle who seemed to be possessed by a ghost, the headless statue with a strange smile, the biting cold wind and the bone-chilling chill in the living room.

She didn't dare to look her uncle in the eye this morning, and didn't even have breakfast. She ran out of the house in a hurry as if she was fleeing.

That statue, that kneeling figure, and that home that had become a little creepy, all frightened her from the bottom of her heart.

As soon as Uesugi Kiyoshi saw Nohara Anko's expression, he knew that something must be wrong, so he softened his voice so as not to scare the little white rabbit.

"Don't be afraid, Nohara-san, you are safe now. I am here."

"If you have anything bothering you, why not tell me? Maybe I can help you."

Nohara Anko lowered her head, her body shaking constantly. She remembered that she had to go home at night. For some reason, she couldn't stop the panic in her heart. Then she thought of being helpless after the death of her parents and the bullying she suffered at school. She felt sad for a moment and thought that the future was bleak. She couldn't stop crying.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's head was throbbing after reading this. I said these two sentences to help you, why are you crying?

He dared to punch his enemies and draw his sword when facing evil spirits, but when faced with the tears of a girl, especially such a weak little white rabbit, he was really at a loss.

"Nohara-san, I don't know what you've been through, but please trust me a little bit, I can help you!"

His words were a little pale in emotion, but his tone was firm and decisive, like a sharp sword he swung, which made people who heard it involuntarily believe it a little more.

Nohara Anko was inspired with a glimmer of hope by Uesugi Kiyoshi's words. She raised her head with tearful eyes, but soon shook her head sadly.

She really wanted to ask Uesugi Kiyoshi for help, but she couldn't say the words.

In a sense, Nohara Anko's values ​​are somewhat similar to those of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

I have no relationship with Uesugi-san, can I really trouble him again and again? My uncle has become so strange, this matter must be very dangerous, can I really drag Uesugi-san into it?

Anzi, do you really want to drag Uesugi, who treats you so kindly, into this for your own safety?

Do you want to become such a selfish bad woman?

Nohara Anko, who was already in a state of mental breakdown, was crying and speaking incoherently.

"No, no, I can't bother Uesugi-san anymore."

"I know that Uesugi-san is very kind and willing to lend a helping hand even to someone like me."

"But I can't be so shameless as to stay with Uesugi-san. This is wrong!"

"I'm not worthy of Uesugi-san's efforts."

"I don't know how to dress up, I speak in a rustic way, I'm not good at sports, and I don't have any special skills. I'm not worth Mr. Uesugi's attention."

As Nohara Anko said this, her voice gradually became louder, as if she was getting out what was in her heart.

"Ever since Uesugi-san saved me yesterday, my classmates have been talking about the fact that Uesugi-san and I are dating. This must be very troubling to Uesugi-san!"

“I’m sorry, I don’t have the courage to refute them.”

"I also have selfish thoughts. Sometimes I think to myself, how nice it would be if all this were true."

"If I were really dating Uesugi-san, would I be able to enjoy his kindness with peace of mind?"

"Can I now legitimately rely on Uesugi-san?"

"I'm so sorry! I even had such a shameful thought!"

"But. But!"

Nohara Anzi clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, opened her red eyes wide, and raised her head, as if she had used up all her courage in her life.

She didn't know what to think.

She didn't know if what she was doing was right.

But she wanted to give it a try.

She wanted to try to express her feelings to Uesugi Kiyoshi.

If you succeed, you can gain a lifetime of happiness!

If you fail, it doesn’t matter, just disappear from Uesugi-kun’s life!

Nothing could be worse than the current situation!

The girl took a deep breath and bowed deeply.

"I like Uesugi-kun!"

"I want to date Uesugi-kun!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi was so shocked that he stood up and even took a step back. He wanted to slap himself in the face.

Is this my problem?

Am I not asking about the mirage?

What's with this sudden confession?!

Chapter 21 Visit

It's not like Uesugi Kiyoshi hasn't experienced being confessed to before.

However, this is the first time that someone has confessed to me in such a powerful manner.

He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he saw Nohara Anko's pitiful face with tears in the rain, and thought of her miserable life, his heart softened for no reason and some words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't say them.

He has quite rich life experience and is able to think from other people's perspectives when interacting with others.

For example, now, if he thought about it and put himself in Nohara Anko's position, it would not be difficult to understand the choice she made.

Could this be the only outburst in the life of the little lamb that has been silent for a long time?

Uesugi Kiyoshi had some feelings for Nohara Anko, but they were just some feelings.

Anko Nohara is not as bad as she thinks. She is very cute, has a great figure, and is as gentle as a lamb. She is also a good cook. She is a model of a good wife and mother, and is probably a good candidate for a wife in the minds of many men.

But Uesugi Kiyomi really has no intention of dating anyone right now, and falling in love is not in his life plan for the next five years.

So, he was also in a dilemma.

Accept that he was not mentally prepared - he had only known Nohara Kyoko for one day, it was impossible for her to come up with some love at first sight story.

Love at first sight in this world is just a fancy way of saying being attracted by beauty.

If he refused, he always felt that he would become a sinner.

Then just delay it?

At least get rid of the mirage on her first.

Well, I need to organize my language better.

Uesugi Kiyoshi's hesitant expression was seen clearly by Nohara Anko who raised her head and took a peek. Her expression gradually became gloomy, and the fingers that were pinching the corner of her clothes turned white with force. She was not a fool, and she knew that she would most likely be rejected.

The first and last ray of light in her life was extinguished. What else did she have left?

Forget it, let's leave it at that.

It doesn’t matter if I’m bullied or if I go back to that horrible home. This is my fate anyway and there’s no point in resisting.

It was only natural that Uesugi-kun rejected me after I finally mustered up the courage to confess my feelings.

Nohara Anko was not very sad, but rather felt relieved. For the past two days, she had been worried about gains and losses and had secretly developed feelings for Uesugi Kiyoshi. Now that the thoughts in her heart were cut off, she felt a little relieved.

She forced a smile, wiped her tears vigorously with her sleeves, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry to have troubled Uesugi-kun."
