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

Goto Ichiri looked at his mother with a puzzled look, then at Takahashi Kaede, and neither of them seemed to be acting unusual.

Am I the only one who doesn't know?

Due to the atmosphere, Goto Ichiri did not ask questions quickly. He kept his words in check and continued to listen to Ryoko.

"Actually... I don't know what to do..."

Ryoko paused.

"Xiao Feng has done this, so it's hard for me to refuse his kindness, but I'm still worried about safety risks. After all, he's too young, and many problems that adults wouldn't expect might occur to him."

Ryoko's wavering attitude gave Takahashi Feng hope, which was very different from her flat rejection last night.

Takahashi Kaede looked at Goto Michiyo, who nodded to him.

"Takahashi-kun and I have just discussed this issue."

Michiyo told Ryoko about the plan for grading dishes, which also included the dangers encountered while cooking just now.

Ryoko was in deep thought, thinking about the feasibility of the plan.

Finally, she spoke.

"Okay, but... you must do it within your ability."

She finally respected Takahashi Kaede's independent will. She seemed to have used up all her strength to say this. This was a difficult decision. If something went wrong, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

But at least for now, she felt that it was better to let go and let Takahashi Feng do it.

"Thank you, Ryoko." Takahashi Kaede thanked.

"What are you thanking me for? You cooked for me and you're saying thank you to me. How could you be so unworthy?" Ryoko said angrily and amusedly.

“Being able to suffer for my family… is a blessing.”

Takahashi Feng said softly.

Chapter 16 Admit Mistakes

The family dinner continued in a relaxed atmosphere, everyone was talking and laughing, but there was one person who was not happy.

This person is Goto Ichiri, who just realized that he knows nothing.

"Mom, why didn't you tell me that you talked to Miss Ryoko on the phone last night!" Goto Ichiri felt deceived.

"Because you went to your room to play, Xiaoyi, and I didn't want to disturb you." Goto's mother squinted her eyes, picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, and said.

In fact, he didn't want Goto Ichiri to tell Takahashi Kaede, which would affect the progress of the plan.

"Takahashi, why are you so calm about your mother telling Miss Ryoko about this?" My mother's words were impeccable, and Goto Ichiri turned his attention to Takahashi Kaede.

"Because...Ryoko closed the door when she answered the phone last night. I just had a little suspicion, but I didn't expect it to be true." Takahashi Feng explained calmly.

"Xiao Feng, you can even notice this!" Ryoko said in surprise.

"Who told you to be so mysterious and even closed the balcony door? I can tell from your expression that it's not about work. Why don't you use your brain?" Gao Qiao Feng curled his lips.

"Why didn't you tell me? This was clearly a plan for the two of us." Goto Ichiri said aggrievedly, with tears in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

"At first I was just guessing. After all, Ryoko might have other things that I didn't know, so I didn't say anything, but..."

Takahashi Feng also realized this. He said this because he felt that it would be meaningless even if he told Goto Ichiri. But this is not something that can be hidden just because it is meaningless. They are equal executors of the plan, and he is not the only one performing a one-man show.

"It's my fault. I should have shared this news with you." Takahashi Feng bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "This was a plan between you and me, Goto-san, but I only cared about myself. It was very selfish. I'm sorry."

It must be very uncomfortable to be kept in the dark by others, especially for someone as sensitive as Goto Ichiri.

Fortunately, Takahashi Kaede was not stubborn. He apologized quickly and thoroughly. Goto Ichiri quickly calmed down, nodded to show his understanding, and then started to eat.

This is not an unforgivable problem, but Gao Qiaofeng is also thinking that maybe he stayed alone for too long in his previous life and there was something wrong with his thinking. This kind of self-righteous dictatorship would not be dangerous in the cooperation, but at least it would cause a crisis of trust.

"Alright, alright, Xiao Feng, you're such a fool for not telling Xiao Yili about this."

After saying that, Ryoko poured Yili a glass of juice as a consolation.

Goto Ichiri turned his grief and anger into appetite, picked up the cup and took a big sip. He drank so fast that even juice flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"Slower......."

Goto's mother was about to wipe her mouth, but before she could finish, Takahashi Kaede quickly took out a tissue and wiped the juice from the corner of Goto Ichiri's mouth.

"I know you are angry, but there is no need to drink so quickly." Gao Qiaofeng said slowly, turned around and threw the tissue into the trash can.

Goto Ichiri became a little embarrassed. She didn't know how to deal with this natural and intimate act.

Goto's mother narrowed her eyes as she smiled and gave Ryoko a strange look.

But Ryoko was immersed in the delicious food made by Takahashi Kaede and had no time to pay attention to the interaction between the two children.

"Xiao Feng, your omelette rice is so delicious, it's just as good as the one in the store!" Ryoko sighed and stuffed another big mouthful of rice into her mouth.

Goto's mother shook her head. It seemed that such interesting things could only be shared with her husband when she got home.

Seeing Goto Ichiri sitting there stiffly without moving after his mouth was wiped, Takahashi Feng suddenly felt something strange.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Maybe you have a stomachache because you ate too much. Auntie, please go and see what's wrong with Goto Ichiri."

He felt uncomfortable right after eating, and all Gao Qiao Feng could think of was that his stomach was bloated from eating too much.

He had a similar experience in his previous life when he was a child. He ate a lot at one time and his stomach started to ache not long after. He would never forget that experience. He lay on the bed, his brain blank with pain, and the only instinct left was to cry.

He was a little worried about Goto Ichiri, and looked a little anxious when he asked.

"Ah, I'm fine. I was just daydreaming. I don't feel uncomfortable." Goto Ichiri came back to his senses and quickly explained.

Goto's mother didn't say anything, but just sat there looking at the two of them with a smile on her face. That look made Takahashi Feng feel numb all over.

"A bit silly." Seeing that Goto Ichiri was fine, Takahashi Kaede breathed a sigh of relief and complained.

The dinner was drawing to a close at this time. The four of them were not very strong. They did finish their omelette rice and vegetables, but there were still some parts of the two main dishes left. Takahashi Feng decided to heat them up and eat them tomorrow.

Suppressing Ryoko who was about to get up to help, Takahashi Feng put away the dishes by himself and went to the kitchen to make tea for them. At this time, only Ryoko and Goto's mother and son were left in the living room.

Ryoko sat on the sofa with her legs folded and said nothing. Seeing this, Goto Michiyo said:

"I didn't expect that Miss Ryoko is completely different people at home and outside. The last time I saw Miss Ryoko, you seemed a little lax in your authority." Goto's mother said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today. It's true that I tend to be more serious outside. After all, there are only Xiaofeng and I at home. If I'm not assertive, people will take advantage of me."

Ryoko said this with a sigh, because she had seen too many people who were bullied because of their minority family backgrounds.

"By the way, has Takahashi been so smart since he was a child? I see that he can cook, speak Chinese, and is so polite. Have you ever enrolled him in any interest classes or something?" Michiyo asked.

"No, he has been very smart since he was old enough to understand things. He is totally different from my sister who is silly. Sometimes I even doubt if he is my sister's biological son, but they look so much alike."

Ryoko buried her face in her knees, which she wrapped her arms around, and rocked back and forth.

"Xiao Feng, actually, has never called me mom once. When he was very young, I always took him with me. At that time, I always wanted him to call me mom, but he always called me 'Ryoko' 'Ryoko', and there was nothing I could do."

"It's really amazing. When Xiao Feng was little, he could change his own diapers. When he grew up, he could go to the toilet by himself. We didn't have to worry about him at all. He also had no problem sleeping by himself!"

As she spoke, Ryoko became more and more excited, as if she was the only one who was so amazing.

"That's really amazing!" Goto Ichiri also exclaimed after hearing this. She actually dared to sleep alone. It was difficult for her to fall asleep without her mother's comfort, and she would be scared and cry if the lights were turned off suddenly.

Goto's mother chuckled twice and touched Goto Ichiri's head.

"Is that so~" Ryoko drawled out the last word.

"The tea is here. Come and help me carry it. I can't hold it—"

Chapter 17 The Curse of Mastery

A voice as if Takahashi Feng was holding his breath came from the kitchen. Ryoko rushed over immediately and saw Takahashi Feng holding a large plate with four cups full of tea that he had never seen before.

"Ryoko, come on, help me!" Takahashi Feng usually overestimates his strength, and now he can't hold on any longer.

A strong hand took over the plate, and Ryoko easily carried it to the living room.

"Really, Xiaofeng, why do you always like to show off?" Ryoko blamed.

Takahashi Feng scratched his head and pointed at the cup.

"Everyone, try it now. This is something I just learned from the cookbook. I don't know how it tastes yet."

In fact, it is not learned from a cookbook, but a gift from memories of past lives.

Goto Ichiri was interested in everything Takahashi Kaede made. She immediately came over, picked up a cup of tea and looked at it carefully.

The tea is yellowish, with sesame seeds and peanuts floating on the surface, a large amount of sesame seeds sunk to the bottom, and some tea leaves and shredded ginger floating in the middle.

Goto Ichiri blew on it and took a sip.

The tea tastes slightly salty at first, with a hint of ginger. Sesame seeds, peanuts and tea leaves enter the mouth along with the tea. As Goto chews it, he feels that the more he chews, the more delicious it becomes.

"Delicious!" Goto Ichiri's eyes lit up and he took the cup to the side to taste it carefully.

"This is ginger salt tea. Unlike ordinary tea which tastes slightly bitter, it tastes salty. Drinking it in the summer can help clear away heat and relieve summer heat." Gao Qiao Feng couldn't explain it in too much detail, so he gave a brief introduction.

"Xiao Feng seems like a tea salesman."

"Have it?"

Ryoko joked and she and Michiyo each took a cup.

As the tea went down my throat, my whole body felt warm and I seemed to have endless energy.

The four of them collapsed on the sofa together, watched TV, and enjoyed the beauty after eating.

"Ryoko, are you satisfied with my performance during this meal?" Takahashi Feng said lazily. He still wanted to get an answer from Ryoko.

"If that's not enough."

Ryoko embraced Takahashi Kaede with her big hands.

"There will be no child in the world that can satisfy me!"

Ryoko rubbed against Takahashi Kaede's face.

"Ryoko, don't do this, Auntie and Goto are watching us." Takahashi Feng struggled.

Takahashi Feng's struggle failed. He regretted being so talkative and asking Ryoko this question for no reason.

Goto's mother stood up.

"Okay, it's getting dark, we should go back, Yili, it's time to go."

Seeing that Goto Ichiri was visibly disappointed while being touched by Takahashi Kaede, she was a little reluctant to leave.

"Don't be sad, Goto-kun, we can meet again tomorrow." Takahashi Feng comforted.

Ryoko let go of Takahashi Kaede.

"Yeah, Ichiri-chan, whenever you want to come to our house to play, just let us know. We welcome you anytime, seriously!" Ryoko also agreed.

"it is good......"

Goto Ichiri walked away, led by his mother.

"Ryoko, you continue to rest. I'll go wash the dishes." Takahashi Feng left before he finished his words, without giving Ryoko a chance to refuse.

After washing the dishes neatly, Gao Qiaofeng took out the lunch box that had been covered in dust for a long time and put some of the leftover food from the day into it.

"Finally I don't have to eat in the cafeteria anymore."

The school cafeteria is good in every way. It takes nutrition, health and variety into consideration, but the food is just not tasty.

After finishing, Gao Qiaofeng washed his hands, came out of the kitchen and stretched. He was exhausted today and felt very sleepy after relaxing for a while.

"Xiao Feng, go to bed early if you are tired. You have worked hard today."

Seeing that Takahashi Kaede looked tired, Ryoko urged him to go to bed.

"it is good."

He took a simple shower and didn't even have time to soak in the bath, so he went straight to bed.

Ryoko came over and turned off the light for him, then kissed him on the forehead.

"Good night."

Ryoko went out and closed the door behind her.

Soon, Takahashi Feng fell asleep.
