April is more than your lies

"What's wrong?"

Shingo asked this question after noticing Yukina's strange gaze, but after understanding Yukina's gaze, he just smiled nonchalantly.

"This is used to marinate steaks. Of course, if you want to drink it, it's not impossible. This is the wine Hesha picked from the wine cellar at her home. It shouldn't be bad."

"Latour's wine is perfect for marinating beef."

Of course, this was nonsense. After all, no one in this world would study whether there is any inevitable connection between the taste of wine and the effect of curing meat.

Kazusa was thinking that if that woman Touma Yoko knew that her liquor was being treated like this, she would probably look like she was about to cry.

But it doesn't matter, she is happy to see Shenwu do this, and even puts extra thought into choosing the wine. If Shenwu wants to listen, she can even talk to him about the bright sunshine shining on the grapes in June.

She has been slowly teaching Shenwu this aspect, and the latter is also learning very quickly. Of course...most of the time he doesn't think about doing anything with the knowledge in his head.

"It sounds like it's very powerful... But let me tell you first, it can only be used to marinate beef! If dad knows that I brought you to my house to drink, he will definitely lose his temper!"

Xuecai picked up a bottle of red wine and looked at it, but she couldn't see the reason, so the only thing she said was this absolutely indispensable advice - her father and mother are not at home today, and her brother will also make an appointment with friends later. But it doesn't mean that she will go against the education she received.

"Um……"

Shenwu's meditation dragged on for a long time. It seemed that he was "ill" again.

Whenever he is told not to do something, he will be interested in thinking, "It might be good to try it."

Moreover, drinking does not put any psychological pressure on him.

"Didn't I tell you not to drink? Don't the great principles you and I usually preach to you not work for you?"

Fortunately, Hesha is here.

Although I don't know what the situation between them is like "normally", but...as long as Shingo doesn't get into trouble, then there will be no problem.

Xue Cai's heart, which had just been hanging, had mostly calmed down.

Volume 229: Chapter 60 Chapter [-] What a pity

Volume 60 Chapter [-]

Shenwu didn't just pick up the red wine and take a sip. This can be considered... gratifying, right?

Xuecai thought happily in her heart that although it was really unsightly to blow red wine into the bottle, it was not surprising that Shingo would do such an unexpected thing given his character.

Therefore, she was relieved until the remaining half of the bottle of wine was capped again.

"I won't drink it."

"Hoshino-kun...don't you know that what you just looked like was quite evil-minded?"

All his thoughts were actually seen through. Maybe Shenwu had been laughing to himself for a while...

Thinking of this, Yukina wanted to lose her temper, but seeing that Kazuya laughed, she didn't care about Shingo. But she didn't expect that with the understanding between the two people, maybe they would fall in love with Shingo. The next second it was a bad idea, Hesha had already understood it.

This world is always a little more "sinister" than people think.

"Anyway, I haven't been said like this once or twice. I'm used to it."

Shingo shrugged, walked to the refrigerator and put the remaining wine in.

"If your family asks, just say that I brought these wines to marinate the meat..."

"Probably, I have to explain it a bit..."

My father is quite strict...

Xuecai has already foreseen the scene tomorrow night or even tomorrow morning. Although she is not lying, but... I always feel that the appearance of something like "wine" in her life is an uneasy thing in itself.

"Probably, it won't be too difficult..."

Shingo really had no idea about this. He had a father who had the highest requirement of "don't play yourself to death". He really couldn't empathize with Yukina at this time.

Rather than worrying about this, it would be better to enjoy the fruits of his labor just now - this is the first time he has fried so many steaks, in other words... the first time he has played for so long.

This kind of play that allows people to see "harvest" can always double the good mood.

……

"So rich!"

"Thanks to the help of Kazuya and Hoshino-kun, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do it alone,"

Yukina had put a lot of thought into preparing for today's party, and with Shingo and Kazusa's "additional touches", it was certainly not an exaggeration to receive such an exclamation.

She is very happy to enjoy the praise from her friends, but she will not take all the credit. As for what Shingo and Kazusa did, she leaves it to her imagination - Shingo is lazy as always and Kazusa is unexpectedly good at cooking. This is in line with everyone's understanding.

"If this is the case, I always feel..."

Takeru reached out and took the drink bottle in front of Shenwu. After sniffing the mouth of the bottle, his expression looked a little better.

"It's actually juice. You didn't bring any wine. I always feel like something is wrong."

"As for the wine, I did bring it."

Sure enough, Shenwu never disappoints in this regard.

"But it's used to marinate steak. If you want to drink it, there's still half a bottle in the refrigerator... It shouldn't be a problem for you if the taste is affected. You won't be able to tell the difference anyway."

"Aren't you the same?"

Kazusa asked rhetorically.

In fact, she is not much better. After all, she can taste various flavors masked by alcohol. The premise is that her sense of taste has become numb due to long-term drinking. To say that she is gifted in this area... In fact, she drank too much. Everyone is the same.

"..."

In response, Shenwu grinned and didn't make much rebuttal.

"Okay, okay, let's go!"

With Yukina as the host speaking, the party finally started - of course, the initial toast was indispensable, even if it was just a drink.

"To be honest, I thought it would be a bit difficult today..."

Eating meat and talking about the things that originally caused trouble can put you in a good mood.

Shingo can also gain a good mood from such small things.

"From what you usually say, Ogiso... I'm sure you won't get along with your family."

"No need to be sure, Hoshino-kun..."

It’s okay for parents to take a weekend occasionally to enjoy a short trip, but before going out, there are still some instructions that should be given.

All in all... you must not be led by Shingo to do all kinds of bad things, and you must fulfill your "obligation" as a friend to advise him properly.

For this "friend" who helped him a lot but could not explain it in words, his parents still had a very subtle sense of him.

"I was thinking, why don't you take that bottle of wine back..."

"Okay, you can keep it for the road."

Shenwu thought for a while, and then something went wrong in his mind. He probably mistook the wine for grape juice.

"Speaking of which, if I had known that no one was at your house today, I would have driven over here... It's quite tiring to take the train with a big bag of things."

"At that time, my parents will definitely know from the neighbors that a super conspicuous car drove into my house on the weekend, and it will be troublesome if they are asked about it."

The atmosphere of the Ogiso family may have an impact on the neighbors on this street. This is probably... also a street full of happiness, right?

Of course, these things have nothing to do with Shenwu's life. He doesn't even know when the girl he has been thinking about for many years will move next to his house, let alone talk to his neighbors about his family's affairs.

Therefore, he could not construct the scene Xuecai mentioned using his imagination alone.

"So, Hoshino-kun...even if it's very hard, please abide by the law."

"I always feel like you are laughing at me..."

Saying this sentence proves that Shenwu doesn't care about such ridicule, not to mention that he is still smiling as usual.

It's hard to abide by the law well. After all, there are so many things you want to do, and there's nothing you can do about occasionally breaking some laws.

This guy thought with some self-deprecation.

"It's really..."

"Just say that the driver sent us here."

Kazusa is not without talent when it comes to lying, and in the final analysis, she is on Shingo's side.

"Is that all right?"

"driver?"

"What's wrong with that?"

Not only the driver, but also the woman Touma Yoko's "care" was very considerate, making it impossible to find fault, but this did not mean that Kazusa would accept these things.

Her and Shingo's life will inevitably be a little more chaotic due to their clumsiness, but these things and the feelings when they are in them are all "real".

Thinking of this, her tone seemed to become more gentle as she cooled down.

"Anyway, it's not something important."

It's a pity that the cup was only filled with drinks, otherwise she would have liked to toast with everyone present at this time.

Volume 230: Chapter 61 Chapter [-] Her unique secret recipe

Volume 61 Chapter [-]

The most praised dish at dinner was not the red wine-fried steak that Shingo liked so much, but the salad prepared with pickled vegetables.

The high-end beef, the finest vintage and expensive red wine, and Shingo's proud cooking skills were all defeated by the combination of various vegetables and sauces.

In short, in this world, there are occasionally such unreasonable things.

"It's just a salad, nothing special..."

Xuena thought, this was the first time she had seen Shingo use the word "ask for advice". This should have been something that needed a good response, but the problem was... there really was nothing to say.

"But I like to add some sweet plum powder and pickled cucumbers, so that the taste will be richer... I think everyone will like it. It should be because I eat too much meat and need something refreshing to appetize. .”

"Is it……"

This is not an unacceptable explanation, but ah...it always feels a little subtle.

Not willing to give in, what other emotions do you have?Shenwu couldn't figure it out for a while. Of course, he was willing to accept the thoughts in his heart and try to master the newly acquired "knowledge".

"Plum powder, and pickled cucumbers... I'll try it next time I get home."

"I think that in terms of taste alone, Hoshino-kun's steak is actually the best. I would never be able to cook it to your level."

Shenwu said that if someone surpassed him in academic performance, he would find it very interesting. The current situation...maybe it is what he looks like when he finds it "interesting"?

Xuecai was thinking that maybe this was true, but to say how much he "cares", it seemed that there wasn't a powerful adjective to use.

"To be honest, Hoshino-kun is the boy with the best cooking skills I have ever seen! And the same goes for Kazusa, who is not bad compared to Hoshino-kun... Obviously your hands need to be strictly protected, okay? I never expected to put so much thought into cooking.”

"Someone in the family has to cook, that's what he said."

In front of outsiders, Hesha mentioned that she would not often call him by Shingo's name, and sometimes even used quite ruthless words.

But now, her tone was calm.

"Besides, outsiders always come to the house from time to time, and I don't get used to it."

"What a willful reason..."

The eldest son of a wealthy family and the eldest daughter of a wealthy family are the perfect words to describe Shingo and Kazusa, but the problem is...their characters are not as bad as the derogatory connotations of these two words.

In short, while accepting this statement, it is inevitable that people will feel a little subtle.

But this is just right, they are such people to begin with, and Wu also thinks so.

"If it were me, I would never have such thoughts."

"Well... to be honest, washing dishes is quite annoying."

There is only one thing in this world that can make Shenwu say "hate" with a smile. When you play around, you have to pay a price, just like having too much fun will inevitably affect your grades.

"I feel so too!"

Xuecai feels the same way about this.
