Chapter 370 Snack Brain

With her long legs closed together without a gap, the well-educated Matsumoto Arina sat upright and elegantly, her voice soft and gentle, neither too fast nor too slow.

"Then I'm sorry to bother you..."

In fact, she had been hungry for a long time, and now was the perfect time to have some snacks to fill her stomach.

Shimizu Ai wasn't full just now, so her little hands reached out for the snacks on the coffee table.

Ayako Ogiwara grabbed a handful of nuts and chatted with Arina Matsumoto.

For example: Are idols tired or stressed? Do they feel sad or angry when they see posts criticizing them online? Do they become very happy when they meet their true fans?

Matsumoto Arina had a gentle smile on her face and patiently answered all the questions.

Of course, there was one thing that was very curious but very out-of-bounds that Ayako Ogiwara didn't ask. As an adult, she could roughly guess it.

"Is it true that there are so many bullshit and things that are beyond one's control in the entertainment industry?"

In short: Is there an unspoken rule, or is this the only way to get to the top?

If Matsumoto Arina knew what she was thinking, she would definitely nod and admit it generously.

"Of course!"

"I often take advantage of Fujii!"

This is her right as the president!

……

Time passed quietly while we ate snacks and chatted.

The large cabinet of snacks bought on New Year's Eve was being devoured by the three of them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The atmosphere was harmonious; three women of different ages and personalities unexpectedly achieved a harmonious balance.

Until Matsumoto Arina and Shimizu Ai reached for the last piece of chocolate on the plate at the same time.

The two men looked at each other subconsciously, and each could see the strong provocation in the other's eyes.

"Aiyi-chan, are you sure you want to compete with me?"

"Obviously, Ai was the first to come here, but you, a vixen, are the one snatching food from the tiger's mouth!"

The chocolate matter is small, while the Fujii Itsuki matter is big. They don't lack the food, but they have deep resentment towards each other, and they want to take the opportunity to determine the winner instead of just trying to save face!

Although quarreling over a piece of chocolate sounds very childish, it is indeed something they could do.

A tense atmosphere was brewing, but as the host and elder, Ayako Ogiwara had already noticed the situation.

"You finished eating so quickly?"

Her beautiful willow-like eyebrows raised, and Ayako Ogiwara realized that the plate was empty, with only a lonely piece of chocolate left.

But she clearly remembered that these snacks were enough for the five-day New Year holiday!

It's only been a morning and it's gone?

“…It’s a headache.”

If Saki were to go to the supermarket to buy it now, it would definitely be too late.

But she couldn't let the guests go hungry, so Ayako Ogihara stood up and went to the refrigerator to get yogurt, blueberries and cereal.

Fold the chocolate in half and add it to the yogurt. Then stir in the blueberries and oatmeal for two simple yogurt bowls.

"Here, Ai-chan, and Youcai..."

Ayako Ogiwara took another spoon from the kitchen and handed it to Ai Shimizu and Arina Matsumoto.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Excuse me, Aunt Ogiwara."

The two of them thanked him politely and then looked at each other.

"Damn little brat, didn't you eat at home? How can you eat so much!"

"Where did this wild vixen come from? She eats more than Ai!"

Shimizu Ai and Matsumoto Arina snorted and picked up the yogurt bowls at the same time.

I scooped a spoonful of yogurt with a spoon and put it into my mouth. The cool and sour sweet taste of blueberries and chocolate stimulated my taste buds.

"It's delicious, you are worthy of being my sister-in-law!"

"Yeah, it's really good."

A conflict was resolved without a trace by the bowl of yogurt. When there was delicious food, the two people were so busy enjoying it that they even forgot about the quarrel.

"By the way..." Matsumoto Yuina seemed to remember something. While tasting the yogurt, she said softly, "The souvenirs I just brought include puffs, tiramisu, and fruit cake."

"cake?!"

This sentence immediately attracted the attention of two sweets lovers, Shimizu Ai and Ogiwara Ayako. If you include Matsumoto Arina, that makes three people in total!

After opening the box, three pairs of beautiful eyes instantly stared at the fruit cake in the middle, which had an attractive color, was piled with snow-white cream, and was decorated with fresh strawberries, blueberries and mangoes. It looked very delicious.

"Leave one piece each for Saki and Xiaoshu, and we can share the rest."

The host and elder, Ayako Ogiwara, spoke, and Ai Shimizu and Arina Matsumoto nodded at the same time.

"Mmmmmmm!"

……

"Dudu-"

On a snowy day, Fujii Itsuki drove into the alley and saw the burgundy Porsche parked in front of the Ogiwara house from a long distance away.

"You're here so soon?"

"This guy is quite active in getting free meals."

After complaining about a certain famous star in his heart, Fujii Itsuki parked the car in front of Ogiwara's house.

"Click——"

The car door opened, and Ogihara Saki got out first. She took out her key, unlocked the door, and walked in carrying fruits, roast chicken and other cooked food.

Fujii Itsuki slowly drove the car into the garage of Ogiwara's house, opened the trunk, took out vegetables, meat, and some glutinous rice, red dates, longan, etc. that he bought later, and used them to make longan, glutinous rice and red date porridge to nourish qi and blood.

According to the eating habits here in Japan, there is basically no such thing as "porridge" in their menu.

"Congee" was considered to be a drink exclusively for sick patients, with ordinary people only drinking miso soup.

Fujii Itsuki bought a lot of ingredients today. Girls are prone to coldness and yin deficiency in winter. The longan, glutinous rice and red dates porridge can nourish qi and blood, and it is also a good opportunity for Ogiwara Ayako and Ogiwara Saki, mother and daughter, to taste his cooking skills.

……

Ogihara Saki, who walked into the entrance first and changed into slippers, discovered two pairs of other women's shoes on the floor.

"Did Ms. Matsumoto bring any friends with her?"

"Could it be Shimizu-san?"

With doubts, she picked up the fruits and cooked food and walked into the living room.

Over on the sofa, the scene was as lively as a tea party.

Ayako Ogiwara was enjoying a fruit cake while watching the housewife drama that was rerun last night, while Ai Shimizu and Arina Matsumoto were secretly competing with each other again.

"I can't eat anymore..." Rubbing her slightly bulging belly, Ayako Ogiwara leaned comfortably on the sofa, a hint of laziness appearing on her beautiful and charming face.

My abdomen doesn't hurt anymore, but now I feel a little bloated.

"This sister-in-law's mother is so lame!" Shimizu Ai scooped a spoonful of cream into her mouth, obviously still having the strength to fight.

Putting down her crossed legs, Matsumoto Arina adjusted herself into a relaxed posture, chewing the sweet and juicy strawberries on the cake carefully.

These two childish kids are no longer fighting over chocolates, but are now competing to see who can eat the most cake.

Not for anything else, just to suppress the other party!

The trash can under the coffee table was already full of garbage, and the tabletop was a mess, with nut shells and packaging bags scattered all over the floor. White cream was stained on the fruit plate, and potato chip crumbs were everywhere.

Ayako Ogiwara and Ai Shimizu, who are almost 20 years apart in age, have long been slacking off on housework because they have a diligent daughter and sister Saki.

As for Matsumoto Arina, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, her wealthy and affluent life since childhood has basically made her have nothing to do with the word "housework"?

"housework?"

"Isn't that what Xiao Lai should do?"

……

"This seems a bit bad..."

Out of a woman's sixth sense, Ogiwara Ayako narrowed her beautiful eyes and inexplicably felt that something was wrong.

"Mother……"

The sudden voice behind her made Ogiwara Ayako's pretty body tremble, and she subconsciously turned her head to look over.

Her sweet little girl was holding two shopping bags and stood behind the sofa at some point.

Looking at the messy garbage on the coffee table, Ogihara Saki's gentle and pretty face rarely turned pale.

"Aren't you feeling unwell? Why are you still eating nonsense?"

"Um, I..." Ayako Ogiwara was speechless for a moment because of guilt.

Ever since Ogihara Saki and Fujii Itsuki started dating, the relationship between the mother and daughter has been growing and declining.

The daughter who used to have a weak character became more and more gentle and strong, and correspondingly, her strong and strict mother gradually lost her prestige and voice in the family.

Although Ogihara Saki still treated her with great respect, she was no longer as scared as before and didn't even dare to look her in the eye.

There's nothing she can do. With such an annoying son-in-law like Fujii Itsuki, Ogiwara Ayako is like a tiger with its fangs and claws removed. She can't be tough even if she wants to.

"That's a big bag of snacks, enough for five days..." Ogihara Saki said in a faint voice, glancing at her mother's belly covered with a blanket.

"At least you have to consider your health and not overeat."

"There's nothing I can do, Saki..." Ogihara Ayako quickly came up with an idea and explained, "Mom has to entertain the guests."

"We can't let Miss Matsumoto and Ai-chan just drink tea, right?"

Hearing this, Ogihara Saki turned her head and glanced at Shimizu Ai and Matsumoto Arina.

Shimizu Ai, who was willing to be a subordinate, remembered her identity at first sight.

"broken!"

"I hope I won't eat too much and get disliked by Saki-nee-san!"

Matsumoto Arina, who was standing next to her, felt a sense of panic for no reason. Her courage to attend the Hongmen Banquet had long since disappeared along with a few packets of sweets.

"strangeness……"

"I'm a guest, why do you act like a mistress caught by the wife?"

The two childish ghosts with full bellies glanced at each other secretly. Just as they were about to blame each other, they heard Ogihara Saki sigh and said softly, "I'm sorry, Miss Matsumoto, Ai-chan, dinner may be a little late today."

"Let me tidy up the coffee table first."

“It’s okay, Saki-nee…” Shimizu Ai smiled brightly and volunteered, “Ai will clean up with you!”

"hateful!"

"This brat got there first!"

Pursing her pink lips, Arina Matsumoto's pretty face revealed a bright and charming smile.

"Saki-chan, I'm not hungry yet, so I'll come and help."

The two were about to stand up and pack up when Fujii Itsuki walked in slowly from the other side of the gate.

"Hmm?" As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Matsumoto Arina and Shimizu Ai sitting on the sofa.

"Here we are. There are dishes."
