Just then, the doorbell rang. Gao Yumo looked at Yingli in the living room and suddenly flinched. She quickly pulled her hand away, glanced at the door, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found no one had come in. She didn't notice Gao Yumo peeking in through the crack in the door.
Gao Yumo wanted to laugh again, but he held it in. He ignored Eriri and let her continue kissing there. Someone was coming. He walked towards the door and stopped Kaname from coming out of the restaurant.
"Nami-nee, you go ahead with your work, I'll go open the door."
Then he glanced into the kitchen and, seeing that Hayasaka Ai hadn't noticed, quickly kissed Kaname on the cheek.
"Nami-nee, just this once, and we'll do it again tonight. By the way, do you want to kiss me?" Gao Yumo pressed her hand against Waka Nami's lips.
But Kaname completely ignored what Takayumo said next. After bowing to him, she turned and left. As she turned, Takayumo could see that her face was red, and she seemed to be fleeing in panic.
Gao Yumo simply smiled, walked to the door, and opened it.
'I thought you two were going to kiss a little longer.'
"No way, it's still daytime now. We'll talk about it at night. Okay, come in, Chestnut."
Qi Mu Li Zi arrived. She must have had lunch at home before coming. She had changed her clothes. She was wearing a white inner layer, a green jacket, and black jeans. It was a very casual and ordinary outfit.
"Excuse me." Chestnut walked in, and Gao Yumo helped her get out her favorite slippers from his house, which she then put on herself.
Chestnut used to come to his house often when she was in middle school, mainly for coffee jelly. She could eat it for free at his house. Chestnut didn't have much pocket money, and she wasn't the kind of person who would use her superpowers to illegally make money. Usually, when she really wanted to eat coffee jelly, she would come to Gao Yumo's house and ask him to make it, or rather, Xiaoying would make it.
'So after all this talk, where are my things?'
“Here you go, I asked Sakura to make some for you. I don’t know how many she made, but you can eat some first. If you’re still hungry, I’ll make more.” Gao Yumo said with a smile. Chestnut’s love for coffee jelly could be said to surpass that for anything else.
'Indeed, at least I've surpassed you.' Chestnut's words were as ruthless as ever. Without waiting for Gao Yumo to lead the way, she went to the kitchen herself. After all, she was a regular there and knew the way well.
Gao Yumo followed behind her, saying, "The time might not be enough, the ice hasn't been frozen long enough, we might have to wait a while."
'I know, just wait, or, no, let's just wait.' Chestnut is already very familiar with the process of making coffee jelly. Of course, she's not very good at making it herself, but she has a machine that can make coffee jelly automatically. It's just that the machine-made jelly isn't as good as the ones made by Gao Yumo and Xiaoying.
"Want to use superpowers? Go ahead, I can help you get rid of them." Gao Yumo saw through her intentions.
'No, I'd rather not do it in a place like this, and the taste would definitely be worse if made with superpowers.'
"Okay, that's the main reason, isn't it?"
The two went to the kitchen, where the two people inside had already washed the dishes and were tidying up. Gao Yumo told them not to worry about him, and that he and Li Zi were just there to get things.
The kitchen actually has a dishwasher, but they don't use it. It's probably because they don't have much to do anyway, and if they use a machine to wash dishes, they'll be even more idle. They also don't need to clean the rooms, since they clean their own rooms themselves.
Of course, they would still clean for their respective owners, Gao Yumo and Huiye, but they would take care of the other rooms themselves.
And those rooms that are empty, or rooms used for other purposes, do not need to be cleaned every day, so they are generally quite idle.
Gao Yumo opened the layer containing the coffee jelly, looked at it, and poked it with her finger.
"It's not ready yet." That was the conclusion we reached.
Chestnut didn't mind Gao Yumo touching her coffee jelly, and they ate it together without any problem. This shows that Chestnut and Gao Yumo have a good relationship, but Chestnut herself doesn't realize it. The thought process of a superpowered person is different from that of an ordinary person.
But a brief look of disappointment appeared on her face because she couldn't have coffee jelly. Perhaps this is the only time Chestnut ever makes this expression.
'Then let's wait.' Chestnut looked at the coffee jelly in the refrigerator, really wanting to eat it, but not now.
Sakura made five for her because she knew that Kuriko really liked this. Sakura is so kind and understanding.
"Yes, your sister is really a good person." Chestnut agreed with Gao Yumo's thoughts and spoke to Gao Yumo alone. Even though she often had some mischievous thoughts, it didn't change the fact that she was a good person in Chestnut's heart.
"Are all people who make you coffee jelly good people? What about me?" Gao Yumo asked.
"That's possible, but your usual behavior has lowered my opinion of you," Chestnut glanced at him and replied.
'Okay, even if you don't like me, I'll still like you.'
"That's exactly what I'm doing." Chestnut glared at Gao Yumo, then turned to go to the living room to sit and wait.
Gao Yumo followed her, while Kaname and Hayasaka Ai exchanged a glance. It was a habit; the two seemed to communicate through their eyes. They often didn't speak, but it was as if they had said something. In the end, it was always Kuriko who left first, which must have been because the two had a disagreement.
“Those two are really strange,” Hayasaka Ai said.
“Yes, but they get along very well.” Kaname said with a faint smile, touching her face.
Hayasaka Ai gave her a strange look. What's wrong? She seems to be in a good mood? Everything's been so strange today.
"By the way, what should we do with these bento boxes? School ended too early today, and we haven't eaten them yet."
"Pity."
.
Gao Yumo and the other person peeked through the crack in the living room door. Don't look at Li Zi like that; she was actually quite interested in this kind of thing.
'Does she really have that much guts?'
In the living room, Eriri was still smiling as she looked at the spot where Gao Yumo had just kissed her hand, leaving Kurisu speechless.
'You're not much better.' But Gao Yumo didn't want to talk about this with Li Zi at all; you older brother doesn't talk about the second brother.
'Given your usual behavior, I could practically sexually harass you, right?'
'Really? Aren't you being a bit arrogant too? We should love each other, right?' Gao Yumo used the same old lines, but Li Zi never responded to his words, and this time was no exception.
'Let's go inside, or let's stop her from continuing.' Changing the subject is Chestnut's most common tactic.
'Okay, okay.' Gao Yumo thought that Chestnut was really tsundere, even more so than Eriri, or that she was confused about feelings and simply didn't know how to respond to Gao Yumo. Either way was possible.
Now, Chestnut's thought is, can Gao Yumo also read minds? How does he know that? But Gao Yumo can't, so he can't be completely sure of his guess.
Gao Yumo got up, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open to go in. Inside, she saw Ying Lili sitting there, looking at her phone.
But both of them knew what she had just been doing and that what she was doing now was just a pretense.
'English pear. '
"Chestnut, you're here too."
The two knew each other, after all, they were from the same middle school and were often around Gao Yumo. However, Chestnut looked very ordinary and not as eye-catching as Eriri. Not many people paid attention to her, which was also Chestnut's purpose; she didn't want to attract attention.
"Yes, I came to his house on business."
"Is it about the club? Do you want to join us too?" Eriri asked curiously, relieved that the two of them probably hadn't noticed her behavior just now.
But actually, it's just that the two of them didn't want to say it, otherwise Eriri would definitely make her blush and die of embarrassment, which would be quite awkward.
It's fine if Gao Yumo talks to Eriri alone; at most, Eriri will be so shy that she'll hit Gao Yumo a few times, but it won't hurt, it's just like being coquettish. But with Kurisu still here, they can't say anything.
Chapter 36 Eriri's mother, Sayuri Sawamura
"I haven't told Chestnut about the club stuff yet. She came to eat Sakura's coffee jelly, which Chestnut really likes," Gao Yumo explained. There was no point in hiding Chestnut's preferences.
Eriri nodded, then realized, "Kuriko was someone who used to come to Takayu Mo's house often, right? So she's the only one who came today? And I'm the last one?"
Since the topic had come up to clubs, Gao Yumo asked Li Zi if she wanted to join.
"What would I do if I joined? I don't know anything." Chestnut was telling the truth. If she didn't use her superpowers, she wouldn't know anything. And since there would definitely be many people working together, she certainly couldn't use her superpowers, which meant she wouldn't know anything.
"You can just slack off in the club most of the time, but if something really big goes wrong and we can't handle it, we'll need your superpower. I don't know exactly what it might be, but in case something goes wrong, you'll be our insurance."
On the surface, Gao Yumo was talking to Li Zi about various things related to the club, but in their hearts they were discussing something else entirely.
"But it's okay if I don't join, right? Just call me when you need me." Chestnut still didn't understand why Gao Yumo had invited her. Although she already knew through mind reading, she still wasn't sure. Was her reason for inviting her so simple and straightforward?
"If you join our club, we can live together, work together, and that would be great! Plus, if you want coffee jelly, just let me know and I'll make it for you." Gao Yumo said something that Li Zi couldn't refuse.
Gao Yumo had another simple and straightforward reason: they lived together. Being close made it easier to win them over. This wasn't just true for Li Zi, but for everyone else as well. That's why Li Zi wasn't sure. It was a very simple and straightforward reason, yet it was also very reasonable. Moreover, this reason didn't conflict with the club's policies; it was essentially using both reasons.
"I agree." As expected, Chestnut agreed immediately. Moreover, this wasn't a private conversation between the two of them; Eriri could hear it too. In Eriri's view, it was as if Takayuki had told Chestnut about the club, and Chestnut had agreed. It seemed that she really liked these things.
Indeed, Chestnut really loves games and comics, especially comics, because she has the ability to not see the thoughts of the characters in the comics. But this is not so easy, because she can hear other people's thoughts and get spoilers for the comics she wants to read. So she usually buys the comics as soon as she sees them, or she plays the kind of trashy games that few people play.
Because she dislikes the feeling of being spoiled and lacking any sense of surprise, joining this club wouldn't actually benefit her, since it would allow her to know everything about the club. Of course, even if she didn't join, she could still find out everything from Gao Yumo.
So there's really no difference. It's like the four comic books Gao Yumo drew in middle school. Even though Li Zi could always find out the plot from Gao Yumo, she would still buy them and read them again.
"Then welcome to Chestnut's family. Will your family agree to you staying at my house?" Gao Yumo asked curiously. He often went to Chestnut's house and was very familiar with her parents. They were a loving and lovely couple who had boundless love for their family and were wonderful parents. They were also very kind to Gao Yumo, Chestnut's first friend in a long time.
'What do you think? They can't possibly disagree, right?' Even Chestnut had to admit that her parents probably really did completely approve of Gao Yumo.
Eriri immediately understood; it must be the same situation as her mother. Gao Yumo really is a parent killer.
"But I'll still tell them later," Chestnut said, "I should let them know."
It might be very inconvenient for her father, who is usually late for work every day. Without Chestnut's teleportation ability, things won't go well.
'Ignore him, he's too reliant on my superpowers.' Chestnut was too lazy to bother with that unfortunate old man.
.
"Mo, I'm getting ready to go back. Are you free now?" Eriri asked Gao Yumo. She had rested enough and was ready to leave.
"I'm fine with anything. Chestnut, you can wait here. It should be ready in about half an hour." Gao Yumo nodded, then told Chestnut, and prepared to leave with Eriri.
"Waiting for what?" Eriri asked directly, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Coffee jelly, I already told you she came here specifically for this."
"Is it tasty? It sounds like it's very bitter." Eriri imagined it for a moment, then shook her head, feeling it probably wouldn't taste good.
"It has sugar in it, so it's definitely not very bitter." Gao Yumo described the taste of the coffee jelly to Eriri in detail. The more Eriri listened, the more she wanted to eat it. It seemed pretty good.
"Want to eat it? I'll make it again for you when we get back. By the time you get back, Chestnut will have already finished what's in the fridge. She really loves it, so there's no way she'll leave any left." Gao Yumo could tell that Yingli was craving it, so he smiled and said he'd just make it again when they got back. Chestnut probably wanted to eat it again too, right?
'Yes, make some more when you get back.'
'When it comes to coffee jelly, you become completely unreserved.'
Chestnut didn't answer, but Gao Yumo knew that it was because people's feelings towards each other and towards objects were different and not so easy to distinguish.
.....
"Xiao Mo, you're here." The two arrived at Eriri's house. After opening the door, Sawamura Sayuri came out to greet them, first greeting Gao Yu Mo.
"Sayuri, we're here." The two hugged, and after separating, Sayuri looked at Eriri and said.
“My Eriri has grown up and is now living with her boyfriend.”
"No, it's just that it's convenient to live together for club activities," Eriri immediately retorted.
But Sayuri completely ignored Eriri's tsundere behavior and continued talking to herself.
"I knew you and Xiao Mo could be together. Xiao Mo, I'm entrusting Eriri to you. She's still young and immature, so I'll have to trouble you from now on," said Sayuri, pretending to wipe her tears with a pomelo.
Gao Yumo chimed in, "Don't worry, Eriri won't suffer any grievances with me."
"Of course I trust you completely," Xiaobaihe replied. She had been observing this boy for three years, and there was absolutely no problem entrusting Eriri to him. Moreover, Xiaobaihe actually knew Gao Yumo's mother, Gao Yuyangui, and the two were best friends, something Gao Yumo didn't even know.
Eriri watched as her mother and Gao Yumo started chatting, completely ignoring her, yet the conversation revolved around her. She wanted to interrupt them but didn't know how, so she stomped her foot and turned to go upstairs.
Sayuri saw Eriri getting ready to go back to her room and said to her, "I've packed your clothes for you, but you'll have to pack your own paintings and stuff. We don't live far apart, so you can just come back and get anything you need."
"Okay!" Eriri shouted from the stairs and ran upstairs.
“That’s just how this child is. Gao Yumo, you should be more tolerant of her. I know you’ve already been very tolerant of her, which is why I think you’re the most suitable person for her. Others wouldn’t tolerate her temper like that,” Xiao Baihe said earnestly.
"Of course I will, Sayuri. I'm used to Eriri's temper. Oh, and I'll tell you something." Gao Yumo told Sayuri about his confession to Eriri and their promise. It might not be appropriate to tell others, and Eriri might say something, but it was perfectly fine to tell Sayuri.
"If that's the case, Xiao Mo, you've got a long wait." Xiao Baihe knows Eriri very well; how could her proud daughter possibly confess so readily?
“I can sense it, but since we’re living together, I’m not going to let her leave,” Gao Yumo said with a smile to Xiao Baihe.
"I'm looking forward to it. Remember to let me know when you make progress." Sayuri smiled as well. The two exchanged a glance, both looking forward to Eriri's performance.
Chapter 37 Eriri's Delicate Feet
Xiaobaihe was wearing a kimono, which she wore at home every day, and Gao Yumo's attention was drawn to her.
"Little Lily, it must be inconvenient for you to wear this alone, right?" Gao Yumo asked curiously. He didn't know much about kimonos, but they looked very nice.
"It's alright, I can wear it without any problem." Xiaobaihe covered her mouth with her fan and said with a smile, very elegant and charming like a mature woman.
"Eriri hasn't learned any of your charm at all," Gao Yumo said regretfully, shaking her head.
"You have such a sweet tongue. But it's true, Eriri didn't learn any of my good points, but she inherited my bad points so well." After saying that, Sayuri looked down and saw her feet. She almost cried. Eriri had perfectly inherited this flaw of hers.
"Well, haha." Gao Yumo could only scratch his head. What could he say? But this was indeed a flaw that many girls wanted to change, right? But how could one change something innate like this? Li Zi, on the other hand, could do it. She could change her body at will, and speaking of which, hers wasn't that big.
'You like big ones?'
No, I like them all. You're great as you are.
'I was just asking; I didn't intend to change anything.'
