Can Lixi look at me alone?

With a sigh, and praying that Xiao Mu wouldn't be angry, Jie Yue clasped her hands together and made a wish to the gods.

Then she gave Chu Hua, who had been standing behind her, a gentle smile, and led her into the kitchen.

"Jieyue, these have all been cleaned."

Seeing her come in, Li Xi, who couldn't wait to rush forward and take credit, pointed to the vegetables that still had a few drops of water on them.

Even though I went there to wait after seeing Yuzuki's invitation, Yuzuki kept talking to that annoying guy.

Even today, Yuzuki hasn't officially spoken a single word to her.

Somewhat unhappy, Li Xi hugged the pink-haired girl who did not resist in front of Chu Hua.

So, can you compliment me?

Gently stroking her smooth, slightly fragrant dark purple hair, Yuzuki lightly nuzzled her cheek to comfort her.

"Lixi did a great job today, I really like Lixi-chan."

The teenage idol, who almost burst out laughing, forced herself to keep a straight face, and felt a surge of contempt for Yuzuki.

Yuzuki-san is really something, having so many ambiguous relationships.

"Then, shall I help Yuzuki prepare these ingredients?"

Originally, Jieyue thought that Lixi was enough to help her, but she tilted her head and met Chuhua's pleading eyes before realizing... she wanted Xiaoxiang to eat the dishes she made herself.

It's true, exactly the same as before.

After nodding, Yuzuki stepped aside and handed her the apron that she had prepared for Ritsuki.

After realizing there was no place for them left, the drummers made up an excuse and left the kitchen.

"So, what should we do?"

Although Chu Hua also wanted to kick Jie Yue out, it was ultimately not right for her to do so, as this was someone else's home.

"Hmm... does Chu Hua remember what Xiao Xiang likes to eat?"

Jieyue shrugged, remembering only what Xiaoxiang didn't like to eat. Knowing that this day would come, she should have written down one or two of Xiaoxiang's favorite foods when they were young.

However, in Chu Hua's eyes, this problem was simply a sign that Jie Yue didn't care about Xiao Xiang at all.

As childhood sweethearts, how could you not even know what Xiao Xiang likes to eat? All the care Xiao Xiang has given you is such a waste.

Chu Hua rolled her eyes at Jie Yue in her heart, but on the surface she still wore a gentle and sunny smile.

"Sorry... I suddenly can't remember either."

Jieyue hurriedly patted her shoulder, recalling the time when she herself had no idea about Lixi's preferences and had to figure it out little by little.

"This isn't Chu Hua's fault."

She gave what she once wanted most to Chu Hua, who didn't need it at all.

"It's because Xiao Xiang himself is really annoying. He's incredibly troublesome... and he doesn't even have any particular taste preferences. That's because Xiao Xiang himself has this troublesome problem."

She just didn't expect that in Chu Hua's eyes, she and Xiao Xiang had a completely different relationship.

"Hmm, if there's no particular taste preference... maybe Xiao Xiang was worried we'd make some complicated dishes, so he deliberately told us we didn't?"

The word "troublesome" reminded Jieyue of the baked snails she had made last time. As she came up with the idea, she didn't notice Chuhua's slightly off tone.

at the same time.

"eat fast."

Even Lena felt a little scared being stared at by those slightly dignified golden eyes.

Mutsumi, who was behaving obediently in the kitchen, hoping to kiss and hug Yuzuki when she returned from grocery shopping, was overwhelmed by the thought of this guy shamelessly clinging to Yuzuki...

Will we get lost?

she asked.

Seeing that Rakuna didn't dare to answer her and was only busy stuffing parfaits into her mouth, Mu suddenly understood why Yuzuki didn't let this girl go by herself.

Sure enough, after discovering that Yuzuki had a soft heart, I kept acting cute... which was a very effective method.

Love you guys

Give me some votes, meow.

Volume 1 Crychic!!!: Chapter 132 If You Don't Come, I'll Go to Your House

Chu Hua watched cautiously as Jie Yue rummaged through the freezer and found Burgundy snail meat that she had ordered some time ago. The girl, who wanted to question Jie Yue about how Xiao Xiang could possibly like eating such a thing, ultimately swallowed her question.

She can't argue with Yuzuki here, at least not now.

However, Yuzuki noticed her hesitant expression.

"Chu Hua also thinks Xiao Xiang is a bit of a hassle, right? He actually likes to eat this kind of stuff, it's such a hassle to clean up after him..."

I don't think so.

The voice was somewhat cold, but Yuzuki, preoccupied with where she had put the snail pot, didn't pay it any mind.

Just assume she's being stubborn and unwilling to admit that she also dislikes Xiao Xiang a little.

It's okay. Xiao Xiang is just a troublesome person like that. Chu Hua should see through her as soon as possible and leave her.

He watched coldly as Yuzuki cleaned the snail meat and then began to cook this dish that seemed to have nothing to do with the young lady.

Chu Hua felt that Xiao Xiang had truly made a lifelong friend by getting to know this guy.

To prevent Xiaoxiang from being disgusted by Jieyue, Chuhua began to ruthlessly snatch all the raw materials she might need.

Thinking she was just unable to suppress her affection, Yuzuki calmly flipped the wok, letting the butter melt on the surface of the snail meat.

"Chu Hua is really working hard."

Upon discovering that she only needed to prepare the baked snails, the girl couldn't help but praise Chu Hua, who was simultaneously cooking two dishes, saying that she was really working incredibly hard.

Chu Hua, who had rolled her eyes countless times in her mind, maintained the elegance and composure of an idol and replied politely.

"Because I feel that Yuzuki is also working very hard, I hope to help Yuzuki share some of the pressure."

The implication is that since I've figured out you're up to no good, I'm doing all this for you, and I'll figure out how to deal with your thing later.

The two, who had a relatively harmonious relationship, fell silent together. The only sounds coming from the kitchen were the sounds of stirring the spatula and cooking food.

No, there's also the constant bad things Jieyue says about Xiaoxiang.

Every time she finished making a snail, she would tell Chuhua about how bad that person was. For example…

"Actually, Xiao Xiang has always wanted to be the leader of us kids since he was little."

Chu Hua slowed down her movements slightly, allowing herself to listen attentively to Xiao Xiang's story.

"Then, if Xiaoxiang does it... she'll insist that I and... we call her 'Big Sister,' which is quite troublesome. I wonder if Chuhua will also find her troublesome?"

Jieyue, who only wanted to share Xiaoxiang's embarrassing side with others, was unaware of Chuhua's thoughts; she simply wanted to badmouth Xiaoxiang in front of others.

"No, I think Xiao Xiang is very responsible. He can always be gentle and kind, no matter what troublesome people or things he is dealing with."

They assumed she was just secretly smiling at the stubborn pink-haired girl.

The snail is ready.

"Chuhua, would you like to try it? It shouldn't be bad."

Chu Hua nodded, having considered in her mind how throwing these things away would make things very complicated.

"I'm gonna start now."

If she finds it unpalatable after eating it, she can legitimately throw it away.

It's okay, it's for Xiao Xiang who has always helped me. Even if I feel unwell for several days after eating it, it doesn't matter.

She watched as Yuzuki fed her the protein, and slowly took a bite.

Unfortunately, it wasn't bad. In fact, it was even a little... delicious.

Chu Hua savored it carefully for a while, even making a point of proving that she wasn't hallucinating, before nodding helplessly.

He offered insincere praise to Yuzuki, who had taken over his role and was now adding her own touches.

"Yuzuki's cooking skills are amazing."

After shaking her head, Jieyue picked up a piece of beef that Chuhua had cooked and tasted it with her chopsticks.

After feeling it was alright, he took the opportunity to express his praise.

"Hatsuka is amazing... Not only is her singing beautiful, but her cooking is also quite good. She must have put in a lot of effort, right?"

Does Xiao Xiang deserve all the effort you've put in?

Father, like son.

Jieyue set the seasonings aside.

"Chu Hua can go and rest now. Leave the rest to me."

Chu Hua touched her slightly sore wrist.

"No need, it's only during the month of conception that you need to rest, right?"

Chu Hua approached her little by little from behind, and then unequivocally snatched the spatula from her hand.

The pink-haired girl stood frozen in place, only moving aside after being gently nudged by Chu Hua.

She... didn't know why, even though Chu Hua was showing her concern, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Perhaps it's because I'm not very familiar with Chu Hua.

She sighed softly, comforted herself, and then took out her phone. Finding Xiao Xiang's Line chat window, too lazy to read the long string of characters, she directly typed her invitation.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight."

It was less of an invitation and more of a complete disregard for Xiao Xiang's orders.

Xiangzi, who was waiting for her reply even while at work, helplessly covered his forehead.

Why is she still like this even after all that I've said?

I glanced at my colleagues around me and realized they were all getting ready to go home after get off work…

She dialed Jieyue's number directly.

She wanted to use this method to force Yuzuki to understand her determination.

Hearing the phone ring, Chu Hua suddenly had a bad feeling. She turned to look at Jie Yue, who was holding up the phone and looking at her with curiosity as if she had seen something new.

Xiao Xiang

They actually called me!

Does she remember our number?

She might remember, but it's unlikely she does.

It's probably what Guan Xiaomu wanted; looks like she went to bully Xiaomu again...

Chu Hua turned down the power and then carefully took a few steps closer to Jie Yue, wanting to listen to their conversation.

"Xiao Xiang? Why did you call...? You could have just said it on Line, whether you're coming or not?"

That guy Yuzuki is really...

Xiangzi sighed and slumped weakly into his work chair.

"I told you, but Yuzuki won't go to see it anyway, will she?"

Jieyue retorted dismissively, asking her a question.

"Could it be that you could predict in advance that I'm going to invite you to dinner tonight?"

She heard Xiangzi click his tongue.

"Tsk... I can't."

Like a victorious child, Yuzuki was overjoyed to hear Xiangzi back down and declared her victory.
