Food Wars, my food not only glows!

　"I'll sleep in the middle!"

　Hearing Bai Yuan's words, and worried that the two might do something improper in the tent while she was asleep, Nakiri Erina stood in the middle and said firmly.

　"Tsk, little light bulb."

　Alice Nakiri knew exactly what she was thinking, and immediately muttered something under her breath.

　Erina Nakiri pretended not to hear, hugged her pillow, and lay down in the middle of the bedding, her fair skin flushed pink.

　"After running around in the mountains all day, I feel a bit tired."

　Bai Yuan said

　She yawned and closed her eyes, while Alice Nakiri lay down next to Erina and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear:

　"It's not too late to change positions now. Although Brother Bai Yuan won't directly attack you, his sleeping posture is quite restless."

　"It's okay, I'm willing to accept it!"

　Worried about being embarrassed by hearing strange noises in the middle of the night, Erina Nakiri had no intention of giving up her seat next to Shirai.

　"Then do as you please."

　Seeing Erina Nakiri's unwavering resolve, Alice Nakiri gave up trying to explain, only hoping in her heart that Erina wouldn't scream in the middle of the night, after all...

　Thinking back to when I used to sleep with Bai Yuan, I would feel warm all over every morning when I woke up, as if something had been clinging to me.

　And I often wake up in the middle of the night due to some external factors...

　That guy, I really don't know if it was intentional or unintentional! It's probably unintentional, after all, she has never refused Bai Yuan's affection.

　That guy is too hard on himself!

　Soon, even breathing filled the tent.

　Alice Nakiri looked over and saw that Shirai had fallen asleep. She then turned her head to the other side, closed her eyes, and began to dream.

　If all goes well, she should perform at the banquet tomorrow, which will be the perfect opportunity for both factions to flex their muscles.

　During this time...

　Bai Yuan handed the White Serpent Chain to her.

　Although she didn't master the technique to a high degree due to her lack of talent, she learned it to a considerable extent, at least enough to avoid making mistakes when using it.

　tomorrow...

　Let her show everyone the skills of a top-tier chef in Guangzhou!

　Chapter 147 Alice Nakiri's Public Display

　"Is Professor Bai Yuan really asleep? Or is he just pretending...?"

　Unlike Alice Nakiri's lofty ambitions, Erina Nakiri was extremely nervous at this moment because she was only ten centimeters away from Shiraibuchi.

　Her two small fists were already sweating under the covers.

　Even though the other person was breathing evenly, she still suspected that Bai Yuan was pretending to be asleep. After all, how could anyone fall asleep so quickly!

　Didn't you see how nervous she was? She didn't even dare to close her eyes!

　With her back to Bai Yuan, she worried that he might suddenly turn around and assault her.

　She was facing Bai Yuan, but felt a little embarrassed to look at his face.

　Lying flat on her back, the warm breath from Bai Yuan's mouth would blow onto her neck, sending a tingling sensation through her body, just like now...

　Their thighs were intertwined in bed, their bodies taut and straight. The jade feet that Bai Yuan had just touched were now bursting with astonishing heat.

　She didn't know why she felt this way, but she just felt uncomfortable all over, her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

　"How strange!!"

　Erina Nakiri couldn't help but shout and roar in her heart. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Yuan.

　hansome.

　Especially when he closed his eyes, the boy's sleeping face was serene.

　Long eyebrows, a high nose, and beautifully natural lip lines, like an elegant musical note, making one want to kiss her.

　"Wait, why would I have such thoughts? Could it be that, as Alice said, my feelings for Teacher Bai Yuan are not pure?!"

　With this thought in mind, Erina Nakiri's body grew increasingly hot, and the blush on her face became particularly noticeable, as if she were drunk.

　She loves reading shoujo manga, and in those manga, when the feelings between a boy and a girl reach a certain point, they can't help but kiss.

　"But can kissing lead to pregnancy? In a sense, it's a way of establishing a relationship, meaning it's an invitation to spend a lifetime together!"

　Looking at Bai Yuan's face, which could make countless young girls swoon, Erina Nakiri started to have wild thoughts. Her heart was pounding loudly in the silent darkness, attracting the attention of Alice Nakiri next to her.

　"I see..."

　Turning over, Alice looked at Erina Nakiri with a thoughtful expression, then a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

　"Take this!"

　Cool fingers slipped into the warm blankets, then inside the clothes, and slid down the girl's fair, jade-like back and spine.

　This movement caused Erina Nakiri to instinctively lean forward, her lower body bumping directly into Shiro Awaken's arm.

　This resulted in the two of them, who were originally separated by a gap about the thickness of a thigh, now being pressed directly together thanks to Nakiri Airi's intervention.

　As if sensing something in his sleep, Bai Yuan naturally turned over, placed his hand on Nakiri Erina's shoulder, and put his foot on her hip.

　All of this was done so naturally that Erina Nakiri didn't even realize it. By the time she came to her senses, she was completely unable to move.

　In this situation, Bai Yuan was clearly treating Nakiri Erina as a giant doll pillow.

　"Teacher Bai Yuan! Wake up..."

　With her entire body restrained and the mischievous Alice Nakiri behind her, Erina Nakiri whispered, wanting Bai Yuan to get up and release his grip on her, but she was also afraid to face this situation.

　If Teacher Bai Yuan were to wake up and find her in his arms, I wonder what kind of expression he would have.

　Fortunately, Alice Nakiri behind her saw this.

　Once this situation was established, no further action was taken; only low chuckles were heard.

　"There isn't a single good person here!"

　Upon hearing Alice's voice, Erina Nakiri had this thought in her mind, then closed her eyes, unable to look at Shiro Awakening's face any longer.

　The matter should have ended there.

　However, Erina Nakiri forgot one thing.

　Alice Nakiri had just warned her that Shiro Awakening was very restless when he was asleep.

　·

　·

　The next morning.

　At the Nakiri family banquet.

　Erina Nakiri sat next to Senzaemon Nakiri, facing Shirobuchi, her eyes revealing a hint of regret as she looked at him.

　She was almost asleep last night, but Bai Yuan, a restless sleeper, kept moving his hand towards her, as if it had a tracking device attached to it...

　This meant she didn't sleep all night, using all her hands to block Bai Yuan's attacks and prevent him from doing anything even more outrageous.

　Thinking about what happened last night, Erina Nakiri took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself down, and then looked away from her gaze at the woman walking towards her.

　"It's been a long time, Erina. Let me toast you."

　The speaker was a young woman with long, red, wavy hair, wearing black stockings, high heels, and a tight-fitting mini-skirt. Her figure was as stunning as Erina's.

　However, compared to Erina, the red-haired girl with big waves had a mature charm that Erina lacked, a charm that was most attractive to men.

　“Nakiri Hiran, the eldest daughter of my uncle’s family, is 25 years old and has the strength of a Special Grade One Star. She is probably here to put on a show.”

　Her mind raced. Looking at the woman in front of her, Erina Nakiri smiled and raised her glass: "It's been a long time, cousin Hiran."

　"Can I sit next to you?"

　"Of course, please take a seat."

　Then came another round of pleasantries. Erina Nakiri wore a fake smile, and every move she made exuded the air of a noble family, perfectly demonstrating the etiquette of a large clan.

　Bai Yuan sat next to Nakiri Alice, watching everything with a slightly amused expression, but he didn't say anything, just silently picked up some food and ate.

　He was probably the only one at the scene who was seriously eating at the banquet.

　Everyone else was just pretending to be familiar with each other, and there were a few who actually got along well and had a great time chatting, but those were only a minority in the Nakiri family.

　This trend even reached them.

　Alice Nakiri was also toasted by a relative she didn't recognize, but because she was a minor, she returned the toast with juice, her expression remaining unchanged.

　During this process, Bai Yuan saw her father, Nakiri Munee, who was drinking and chatting with several men of similar age.

　Leonora sat upright to the side, listening to their conversation. She tried to interject a few times, but no one paid any attention to her. In the end, she could only drink alone in silence.

　Today, she wore a burgundy evening gown, looking radiant and confident. She should have been the center of attention, if anyone had been willing to give her more notice.

　Bai Yuan glanced at it for a while before looking away. Just as he was about to continue eating, he realized that his hand was being held tightly by Nakiri Alice.

　So he lowered his head and looked into her eyes.

　Clearly, the other party had also seen this scene, but was powerless to do anything about it. They could only hold Bai Yuan's hand tightly and look at him with a complicated expression.

　"Don't worry, we won't end up like that."

　No sound came out, only lip movements.

　Bai Yuan felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this scene. Although he had seen clearly over the years that the couple had long been estranged, he knew that their relationship was merely a facade.

　Like Alice Nakiri, Leonora Nakiri had been with him for many years and they had a deep bond. If she was unhappy, he was also unhappy.

　"I believe you."

　After saying this in a muffled voice, Alice Nakiri nestled in Bai Yuan's arms, nuzzled her head against his chest, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

　"Mother..."

　Looking in the direction of Leonora Nakiri, Alice Nakiri murmured something to herself, the complexity in her eyes almost overflowing.

　"Alice."

　"Ok?"

　Just as Alice Nakiri was lost in thought, she suddenly heard someone calling her name. She looked up and saw Senzaemon Nakiri striding toward her.

　"We're leaving this demonstration in your hands. Show us your full strength."

　Seeing that Alice Nakiri was looking at him, Senzaemon Nakiri gave him his instructions. The test the night before last had made him fully understand the girl's strength.

　This guy is a genuine top-tier expert!

　Although it seems incredible, it would be a shame not to make good use of such a genius.

　"You can, but..."

　Lying lazily in Bai Yuan's arms, Alice Nakiri stretched out her hand and rubbed her fingers together in a rather greedy manner, the meaning of which was very clear.

　"The Nakiri family plans to invest an additional 100 billion yen in your mother's laboratory next year."

　Senzaemon Nakiri naturally knew what Alice Nakiri was thinking; she was simply asking him for payment for her services. So he generously agreed.

　If you want someone to do something, you have to pay them enough.

　"I wish I had said no earlier."

　Upon hearing Senzaemon Nakiri's words, Alice Nakiri...

　A smile appeared on her face, and she stood up from Bai Yuan's embrace and took two steps forward.

　"Let me also make a fool of myself."

　On the other side, a white-haired girl stood up in front of Senzaemon Nakiri, and a boy from the second faction also stood up.

　Judging from his age, he shouldn't be very old. Bai Yuan is probably two years younger than him, but he has a first-class chef's exclusive armband on his clothes, which means he is a genius of the Nakiri family.

　"This time it's Alice who's being demonstrated, wasn't it always Erina in previous years?"

　As the two stood up, a buzz of discussion immediately broke out in the room.
