Ichinose, you will regret it.

The marbled beef slices with clear texture are paired with rich ingredients such as Chinese cabbage, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage, konjac noodles, etc., and topped with a sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar.

"This is... Japanese Wagyu Beef Sukiyaki!"

“This is probably the best thing to eat in winter.”

The usually serious and cold girl looked at Uesugi Gen's smile and actually showed a complacent smile.

But after just two seconds, she could no longer maintain her smile.

"What are you doing?"

Uesugi Gen on the opposite side took out his mobile phone and took a picture, then lowered his head to operate the phone.

"Send it to your brother, let him envy you, and ask him if he went out to dinner with Secretary Ju."

"..."

Horikita Suzune took a deep breath and tried hard to comfort herself in her heart.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, Horikita Suzune, this is your own fault, you can't hit him, and tonight is Christmas Eve, you need to be safe and sound, it will be unlucky to hit him!

"Go wash your hands!"

"Hi~"

……

Snowflakes are flying outside the window and the room is steaming hot.

"Oh~"

After washing his hands and holding the bowl, Uesugi Gen looked at the colorful and layered ingredients in the pot and exclaimed in admiration again.

The red and dark distinct, thin as a cicada's wing marbled beef, the emerald green spinach, the white tofu, the mushrooms of various shapes... just put down... like paint on canvas, it bloomed with brilliant brilliance.

Seeing Uesugi Gen's childlike enthusiasm, Horikita Suzune's heart moved and she spoke slowly.

"Um...are your family members usually busy?"

"This..."

Uesugi Gen said with some nostalgia, "I basically lived alone before I was ten, but things got much better after that."

Horikita Suzune sat down, staring at the ingredients in the pot, and said blankly:

"Before I started junior high school, my brother and I often sat together like this. After my brother went to high school, we never did it again."

"Oh~"

Uesugi Gen took two steps and moved closer to Horikita Suzune.

"So, our situations are exactly the opposite. If we had known each other beforehand, we might have been able to complement each other."

"no."

Horikita Suzune half-closed her eyes and decisively refused, "I still want to live a few more years. If I had met you a few years earlier, I would probably be pissed off to death by you. And can you please not get so close to me?"

"Don't be so formal."

Uesugi Gen smiled and moved closer, and the two of them were pressed tightly together.

"I saw on TV that this is the way to enjoy sukiyaki in winter. Oh! It's done!"

Uesugi Gen was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He picked up the beef with a chopstick, coated it evenly with egg liquid, blew on it twice, and then showed a malicious smile.

"Ring tone."

"Ok?"

Horikita Suzune turned her head and said, "What the—!"

Uesugi Gen stuffed the beef into her mouth accurately and said proudly, "This is a thank you gift."

There was no need to chew, the beef melted smoothly in the mouth with a light sip. Horikita Suzune glared at Uesugi Gen with a red face.

"Asshole, give me the food you blew twice."

"Stubborn girl, eat more, or you won't have anything to eat later."

Uesugi Gen continued to put food into Horikita Suzune's bowl.

Horikita Suzune raised an eyebrow, looked at the pot full of ingredients, and asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"Hmph~"

Uesugi Gen estimated the amount of food in Horikita Suzune's bowl. Compared to her usual appetite, it should be enough.

The next second, his chopsticks appeared in the pot, and the next second, the food disappeared.

……

Fifteen minutes later.

Horikita Suzune looked at the empty pot with a twitch in her eyes. In order to prevent him from having enough food, she prepared enough for four people.

He devoured such a huge pot in just over ten minutes.

and……

Horikita Suzune looked at the food piled up like a mountain in front of her. This guy was actually kind enough to leave enough food for her.

"Hiccup~"

Taking out a tissue and wiping his mouth, Uesugi Gen fell headfirst onto Horikita Suzune's thighs.

"Don't lie down right after eating. It's bad for your health."

Horikita Suzune reminded like an old lady.

Uesugi Gen didn't answer, but slowly raised his right hand and gave a thumbs up.

“Awesome!”

Seeing that Uesugi Gen had no intention of getting up, Horikita Suzune didn't pay any more attention to him and silently put a mouthful of food into her mouth. It tasted much better than before.

After a while, Uesugi Gen's voice came faintly from her arms.

"Ring tone."

"Ok?"

"Please change into stockings, please. Your pants are making me uncomfortable."

"Go to hell!"

Chapter 198 Christmas War (2)

There was a cold wind and snow outside the window, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the balcony.

The girl sat upright on the cushion, her body light and graceful, eating food in small bites, neither hurried nor slow.

"..."

Horikita Suzune paused her chewing mouth.

She felt that some bastard who had eaten a full meal and was resting his head on her legs was restlessly tilting his head and breathing hot air at her.

The heat penetrated the white sweater and reached the lower abdomen, leaving a warm feeling.

Horikita Suzune silently swallowed the food in her mouth and looked down.

Uesugi Gen was lifting the end of her clothes and blowing air upwards. The sweater swelled up and fell down under the influence of the airflow, and then swelled up and fell down again...

This guy probably thinks this is funny?

"What are you doing?"

Horikita Suzune lowered her eyes and spoke in a cold tone.

"Don't make any noise, Lingyin, we're almost there."

Uesugi Gen concentrated his mind, sank his energy into his dantian, and increased the force of his blowing.

Horikita Suzune frowned and asked in confusion, "What's missing?"

"Almost there is color."

Uesugi Gen's face became very excited.

"#!"

Horikita Suzune looked at the food in the bowl and silently quickened her chopstick picking speed.

'Please pay attention to etiquette during mealtimes and avoid being rude.'

Miss Horikita Suzune, who prides herself on having good upbringing, said this to herself.

Wait until I finish eating before I deal with him!!

Uesugi Gen rested his head on Horikita Suzune's thighs. Even through the layer of pants, he could still feel the softness of her thighs.

The white sweater was slightly lifted up, revealing Horikita Suzune's snow-white belly, which was so flat that Uesugi Gen felt it must be very comfortable to stick to it.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Gen moved his head towards his stomach again, but soon he stopped because the sound of Horikita Suzune chewing food disappeared.

"Blow, why don't you continue blowing?"

Horikita Suzune gently put down her bowl and chopsticks, pinched Uesugi Gen's ear with one hand, and said, "Get up!"

"Hiss~ Lingyin, be gentle."

"Do you still want to see the color of my underwear?"

"I won't look at it anymore. It was just a joke. Anyway, with Lingyin's personality, it's either white or black. The probability is white. I know it without even looking."

Horikita Suzune's pretty face turned red, as this bastard had guessed it right.

Seeing that she was misjudged, she increased the strength of her hands and said in a slightly frustrated tone, "Get up now!"

"Lingyin, don't do this. You're so angry about being seen through by me. This is just a personal revenge."

"This isn't a personal vendetta. This is a personal vendetta between you and me. Now, get up right now."

"No! I haven't lain down long enough."

"stand up!"

"Can't afford it!"

……

"Okay! Can't afford it, right?"

Horikita Suzune smiled coldly and stretched out her other hand, intending to help Uesugi Gen twist his other ear to make it symmetrical.

"Ahaha, I knew you would be like this."

As expected, Uesugi Gen's voice came.

A pig suddenly rushed into Horikita Suzune's arms. Her skin as delicate as the snow field filled Uesugi Gen's vision. He stretched out his tongue without hesitation and tasted this dessert after the meal.

“Chirp~Chirp~”

"Hey hey! Asshole... shut up!"

In just a moment, Horikita Suzune's fair face turned red, and a feeling as if someone was caressing the soles of her feet with a feather surged from the bottom of her heart.

Hold back!

That guy specifically targets my sensitive spots!

"Hehe, Lingyin, take another one of my moves."

Uesugi Gen took advantage of the victory and reached out to touch the sides of Horikita Suzune's lower abdomen, hooked his fingers, and began to scratch like a kitten.

"Asshole, stop it now!"

The aloof girl pursed her lips desperately, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes. She patted Uesugi Gen's hands repeatedly, then finally hunched her shoulders, leaned forward, and arched her body, hugging Uesugi Gen's head.

Finally, Uesugi Gen delivered a fatal blow, and the speed of scratching his hands suddenly doubled.

"puff--!"

Horikita Suzune quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, trying to stop the laughter that was about to burst out, but the sound still leaked out from between her fingers.
