In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

Maybe some people are still interested in playing a game of football on the last day of the semester, but Takahashi Kaede has to go back quickly——

Today, Machida Sonoko came back to her own home as a guest, and also invited her next-door neighbor. She still had a lot of things to do, and couldn't feel sad for a moment about parting with her classmates.

"Yili, wake up, let's go."

I gently pushed Goto Ichiri, trying to wake her up, but she almost fell.

"I can't sleep any more, let's go!"

Seeing that she was completely unwilling to move, Gao Qiaofeng simply carried her up. Since she was wearing a long skirt, there was no need to worry about exposing herself.

Amid Goto Ichiri's blindfolded scream and the stares of his classmates around him, Takahashi Kaede walked out of the hall.

Chapter 84: Shihua: Met the Match

Goto Ichiri hit him all the way with a red face. He only calmed down a little after sending her home halfway. Takahashi Kaede returned to her doorstep.

The house, which had always been empty, suddenly had a new lock, and there was a sister who was very tall compared to him moving things. It seemed that she was the new neighbor that Ryoko mentioned.

She doesn't look old, with super long black hair reaching her waist, and pupils that are a deep red as intoxicating as red wine. Although she doesn't seem to be wearing any makeup, her skin is incredibly smooth and her face is very delicate. With her cold expression, she looks like a cold-blooded female general on the battlefield.

She was wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. Because the summer weather was too hot and the air conditioner in the room was not installed properly, the sticky sweat made her body and clothes stick tightly together, highlighting her exaggerated body curves.

"What company moved Ryoko."

Gao Qiaofeng secretly complained in his heart, greeted her and went into the house.

"Xiao Feng is back~, come and see how I did today and whether I have made any progress."

Ryoko has found her life's pursuit these days. She never falls behind in the practice tasks assigned to her by Takahashi Kaede every day, and even completes them beyond the task, creating some of her favorite looks.

Her comprehension was also top-notch, and she absorbed everything Takahashi Kaede taught her like a sponge.

"Great, I think you can open the store right away after I take care of it during the summer vacation."

Takahashi Kaede took the figure handed to him by Ryoko, examined it carefully, and finally gave a very positive evaluation.

Ryoko happily took the figurine back.

"Remember to cook more tonight. Yuanzi and our neighbor Miss Touka Kotori will be visiting us. Thank you for your hard work. Love you~"

"I remember it. Ugh, so corny."

Takahashi Feng looked in the refrigerator and started to prepare food.

He was busy with this and the guests outside started to come in one after another. By the time he brought the last dish to the table, everyone was seated.

"Sister Yuanzi, I said I'd treat you to a meal before, I wonder if this one counts."

Takahashi Kaede took off her apron and asked Machida Sonoko half-jokingly.

"That depends on your skills. You were so mean to me before, how can I not be strict with you?"

"Let me eat~" Everyone picked up their chopsticks and put their hands together and said.

Yuanzi had just been busy all day and was very hungry, so he first filled a bowl of pork rib soup, blew on it gently, and then took a small sip.

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he held the bowl and began to drink, muttering something like "I forgive you this time" while drinking.

"Thank you so much for hosting me. I'm studying here alone and I don't have anyone I can trust. It's great to be taken care of by you all."

Shihua suddenly spoke, her voice sounded cold, but her words were full of humanity.

"It's okay, it's okay. Neighbors are supposed to help each other. Xiao Feng once said, 'A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.' No matter how good a relative is, if they are too far away, their role will not be as great as that of a neighbor~"

As Ryoko said this, she wanted to get some wine from the refrigerator.

"Ryoko, no—"

Ryoko came back embarrassedly.

"I told you not to drink. If you want a healthy body, you must pay something!"

"Yeah, Ryoko, stop drinking. Let me help you share the burden. When Xiaofeng grows up, let him help you share the burden." Yuanzi said with a wicked smile.

The corners of Touka's mouth curved upwards for a moment, as if she was smiling... I guess.

"Are you siblings? You have a really good relationship."

"Ryoko, did you hear that? Your unreliability has lowered your rank by one level."

Takahashi Kaede deliberately dragged out his voice.

"No, I'm his aunt. His parents died a long time ago, and I've been taking care of him. Xiao Feng and I have a good relationship, so we get along like this."

When it comes to their good relationship, Ryoko is a little proud.

"Is that so—" Thinking that she had said something wrong, Touka closed her mouth and began to concentrate on eating.

"Ah, don't worry about it. We have let these things go. There is nothing to be shy about."

Afraid that Tohka wouldn't be able to let go, Ryoko hurriedly explained.

The braised spareribs in the ceramic bowl exuded an enticing aroma. Shihua picked up a piece of meat and bone, puffed up her cheeks to cool it down, and then put it in her mouth.

Because the pressure cooker was used for a period of time, the bones and meat were completely separated, and the aroma and taste of the soup were completely infiltrated into every fiber of the meat. Moreover, because the heat was adjusted just right, the meat was not too soft, but maintained a certain chewy texture.

Juhua didn't comment, but put a few more pieces into her bowl.

"Actually, I think your way of getting along is pretty good. I feel like your relationship is just like mine and my sister."

"She's a little withdrawn and likes to do her own thing. Sometimes she gets me into trouble, but she's still very cute when she's being cocky."

She might have meant that Ryoko and Takahashi Kaede had as good a relationship as she and her sister, but that just sounded weird to both of them.

“Who looks like a sister?”

"Ryoko, don't ask me so directly!" Ryoko's strange childishness gave Takahashi Feng a headache.

"Eh? What's the problem?"

Touka couldn't quite keep up with the two's train of thought.

"Why is your sister so withdrawn?"

Takahashi Kaede was very curious about this.

"I wouldn't say I'm a loner, I just have some adolescent-like thoughts lately. I often stay alone and play with little gadgets, like the swings in the park."

As he said this, Shihua sighed. He's already so naughty when he's just in primary school. I wonder if he can be controlled in high school.

Hearing this, Takahashi Feng's mind suddenly popped up the girl he had met in the park with Goto Ichiri before. She seemed to fit Sister Touka's description very well.

"Where did you learn to cook these dishes? They must be Chinese food, right?" Shihua looked at the dishes in the bowl, thoughtfully.

"Hey, do you recognize them all? Yes, I learned them from a cookbook when I was very young. I remember that cookbook seems to still be in my room."

Shihua picked up another piece of fried meat and put it into her mouth. The meat rolled between her teeth, allowing every taste bud to feel the flavor.

"Because my major is culinary arts, I have to understand the food culture of different places."

It is said that to study philosophy one must first study the history of philosophy, and to learn how to cook one must first learn the culture of various cuisines, right?

This time I have met an expert.

“Is there anything else that can be improved?”

Takahashi Feng did not hesitate to ask questions. This cooking skill, which had remained untouched for many years, had always been his little fascination. It would be great if he could improve on it with the guidance of Touka.

"In fact, you have achieved this level. The rest depends on taste and personal preference. Based on my personal experience, I can't find any faults in the preparation of your dishes. Mr. Takahashi, did you learn it by yourself? Or did you study under a Chinese chef for a while?"

Chapter 85 The joy of not having to work overtime is unimaginable

"I learned it by myself from the recipes. I was interested in it when I was young, and gradually I became proficient in it."

Touka had a calm expression, not showing any emotion on the surface, but her demeanor seemed to be deep in thought.

“Have you ever considered studying it systematically?”

Gao Qiaofeng's level is considered a folk master. If, as he said, he has been practicing since he was a child, with such a long period of accumulation of dishes, it will be no problem for him to open a small shop in the future.

If you can find a master with real skills, I believe that with his perseverance from childhood to adulthood, it should be easy for him to become an apprentice.

"No, I should focus on my studies." Takahashi Feng smiled.

"Yeah."

Shihua didn't ask any more questions, but just ate her meal obediently.

She wasn't very familiar with Gaoqiao Feng yet, so it was obviously not a good idea to interfere with him or give him suggestions at will. She was here as a guest, not to teach him how to do things.

"Kotori Yu-san, you have such a great figure. How did you do that?"

Machida Sonoko was a bit outgoing and poked Touka Takanashi's waist capriciously. She had a very obvious figure, but her clothes seemed to be a little loose, and she actually poked half an inch inward.

Tohka Takanashi was not angry, she just smiled and dodged away.

"You can just call me Touka. I'm on the gymnastics team in high school. I need to exercise regularly to stay in shape, otherwise I'll be eliminated by the captain."

Shihua touched her belly. There was no extra fat and even a faint waistline.

Although she has been learning cooking, she still manages her body. The calories she eats every day are burned off by running in the evening. She doesn't want to have a body like a chef.

It makes sense that a man with a big head and thick neck is either a wealthy man or a cook.

Even she would often taste test the dishes, and would eat most of the finished food herself to avoid waste.

"Oh~~, that's great. I was a well-known beauty in college, but now I have some fat on my belly..."

Ryoko rubbed her belly in frustration, and Yuanzi put her arms around her neck.

"Weren't you very popular in the company? Didn't you often tell me that someone sent you flowers and invited you out on Valentine's Day~"

Yuanzi laughed loudly and flirted, dangling the quilt holding the wine in the air. Ryoko could smell the alcohol coming towards her.

"That's different! If you're fat, you're fat! I have to blame Xiao Feng for this. If he hadn't made so many delicious dishes for me every day, I wouldn't have gained weight!"

The characteristics of Takahashi Kaede's cuisine are high in oil, salt and calories. One meal is equivalent to three meals. Ryoko eats it every day and goes to work every day without exercising. It would be strange if she doesn't get fat.

"You are so heartless that you actually blame me. I'll take you for a run after a while when you've recovered a little." Gao Qiao Feng put down his chopsticks and put the dishes in the kitchen. He had already finished eating.

"How's your figure, Yuanzi? You go to work every day, let me feel you to see if you've gained weight~"

"Ryoko, you're so drunk even though you didn't drink! Stop it, don't touch those weird places~"

Two thirty-year-olds were making a fuss like two little girls. Takahashi Feng couldn't bear to watch it, so he quickly made room for them and sat next to Touka Takanashi.

"I'm sorry, Ryoko can't drink much. She gets drunk when she smells a little bit of alcohol. They are usually very serious."

Takahashi Kaede was afraid that Touka would feel embarrassed, so he spoke apologetically and he and Touka Takanashi sat next to them like a background board, with the main actors being Ryoko and Machida Sonoko who were having fun.

"It's okay. I should say that it's reassuring to see them being so lively. After all, people who can laugh so happily must not have too much pressure and are very optimistic about life."

Shihua took a sip of orange juice. For a young person like her who came out to work alone, it was such a blessing to meet friendly and enthusiastic neighbors.

Even the landlord here didn't blame her. She moved in immediately after falling in love with the place at first sight, and the whole process went incredibly smoothly.

She has never encountered the conflicts with landlords and neighbors that one sees on the Internet.

"Because the neighbors are too noisy and refuse to change, I bought a bunch of building shakers to fight violence with violence." When she saw this kind of video, she, who is usually calm, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Seeing that Touka Takanashi didn't care at all, Takahashi Feng took the dishes and chopsticks from the table. When he came back, the two of them had collapsed on the chairs, panting.

"Ryoko, don't move too violently. You are sick."

"Did you hear me, Yuanzi? Don't retaliate against me later. I'm a patient!"

Seeing Ryoko's arrogant look, Machida Sonoko was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she didn't do anything.

After all, she is a patient.

"Well, everyone, I'll be leaving first. Thank you for your care. I haven't finished moving my luggage yet, and I have a lot to do tonight."

After standing up and bowing to everyone, Touka went out.

"I'm so full that I can't sit for too long. I feel a little dizzy~"

Shihua returned to her doorstep sleepily, and felt extremely powerless as she looked outside and saw that even though she had been moving for the entire afternoon, there was still a pile of boxes.

"It must be tiring to move by yourself. Have you ever considered asking a moving company to help?"

The sudden appearance of the figure startled Tohka. He subconsciously exerted strength from his waist and abdomen, coordinated with one hand, and with a smooth cartwheel he easily moved away from the source of the sound.

Touka stood still and thought carefully about the voice just now. She found that it sounded a bit like a child, and also a bit familiar?
