Real teaching, hypocritical gray life

Amid Ichinose's flustered voice, I could hear some rustling sounds, and I heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she didn't blame me for it.

"I'm going to make breakfast next. It's just toast and eggs with milk. Would Ichinose like one?"

"No, no thanks. I'd better go back and prepare myself."

"But it's still a long time before the lock is unlocked. By that time, it might be noon."

"Well, please prepare one for me..."

"Well, I see."

After getting a confirmed reply, I took out two fresh eggs from the refrigerator and turned on the range hood to start preparations.

Up to this point, I hadn’t realized that the disaster that I thought was over hadn’t even begun.

But now just the fuse is making me miserable.

Chapter 126 Ichinose's Questioning

Although the dormitory is a single room, the dining table and the prepared chairs are large enough for two people to dine together. It’s just that the size of the dining table is relatively small, which means that the distance between the two people will be closer.

I chose breakfast based on the nutritional benefits of the ingredients available: a fried egg between two slices of toast, and a glass of milk.

After Ichinose finished washing up, breakfast was also ready at the same time, and I carried the finished product to the dining table.

If possible, I would like to try making some Japanese food, because based on her past performance, Ichinose also prefers this kind of food.

But it’s quite ridiculous to think about it. I’ve lived in this country for so long, but the only cooking skills I’m good at are not local ones.

Maybe it’s because Japanese food is a little troublesome to prepare or eat, so the recipes I’m currently working on are all minimalist.

"There aren't many raw materials left in the dormitory, so Ichinose will just have to make do with this."

"Well, I usually eat like this..." Ichinose frowned as he spoke, a serious look emerged on his face, and then he slowly unwrapped the top layer of toast.

"Is there... ketchup in there?"

"Yeah, that's it... Does Ichinose have a dietary restriction, or is she allergic to tomatoes?"

"No, I've just never seen it eaten this way..."

"...This should be quite common."

"Maybe it's just a personal habit, I think toast and fried eggs should be topped with salad dressing..."

"I'm sorry, because I rarely want to eat salad, so the kitchen doesn't have salad dressing, and the remaining ingredients are not enough to make another portion... If Ichinose really can't swallow it, I can still provide other breakfasts. As for this one, please save it for me at noon."

After hearing my answer, Ichinose shook his head.

"It's not that I can't eat it, I just didn't recognize it as strawberry jam or ketchup when I first saw it. When I went to the buffet restaurant before, toast came with butter and strawberry jam, so I thought it would be like that... But judging from the appearance alone, it might look delicious."

Is it true that Ichinose would have a crush on the dark red ketchup spread on the eggs and stirred into a pulp?

I don't feel that way at all, and I even find it hard to swallow because of its appearance...

Or is this something I did myself?

"Anyway, I want to thank Luo Jun for preparing breakfast for me."

It seems that it is just a simple feeling of gratitude, and at the same time, he does not want to lose face for me, at least on the surface.

After simply saying "I'm ready", Ichinose took the lead in taking a bite of the toast and egg. After carefully tasting the wine, a look of unexpected satisfaction appeared on his face.

"It's unexpectedly novel, and I think it's quite delicious."

"After all, it's a popular breakfast, so the taste is more or less guaranteed."

"Shouldn't you be proud of your good cooking skills or give some compliments at this time?"

"I think anyone who knows a little bit about cooking can make this. The only thing that needs to be processed is the eggs, and everything else is just raw materials..."

“But I would think so.”

“I don’t think this is the right idea…”

Ichinose did not refute my words and took another bite with the milk.

"good to eat."

"Being able to receive Ichinose's praise means that my efforts were not in vain."

"What's with that particularly humble tone?"

“I’m just showing the value of food.”

In fact, I myself don’t quite understand what topic I am talking about, but my subconscious tells me that this explanation is a reasonable conversation. It is a very strange psychological suggestion, and I have an unconscious feeling about it.

"Luo said before that he can cook, is that right?"

"Well, I'll learn a little bit..."

"Then next time if there are enough materials, could you show me your skills?"

"According to my current level, this is a little unsatisfactory. I haven't reached the level where I can satisfy customers with just a casual show of my skills."

"If that's the case, we can all apply to be chefs at restaurants. We are still high school students, so it's normal that we can't reach that level."

"That's what I said...but it's still a bit too much of a stretch."

"I wouldn't mind."

"..."

"Well, if I get the chance, I'll try to do it."

In the end, Noze's request outweighed the uneasiness and concern brought by the identity of the producer. I know very well that I am not suitable for cooking. I may be good at knife skills, but when it comes to controlling the heat and the timing of adding ingredients... I am completely unprepared.

"I'll be looking forward to it."

Ichinose showed a sweet smile, with a little bit of milk on the corner of her mouth. She looked very cute, and even gave me the feeling that it would be sweet if I took a bite of it.

But now I am more afraid of what Ichinose just said.

"I advise Ichinose not to have any rosy fantasies. I'll make it clear that I'm a minimalist when it comes to cooking."

"It's okay even if it's like that. I'm already very happy that Luo can cook. Most of the boys in the class can't do that."

“I’m just an entry-level person…”

"Really? You always say that I am so disgusting. If you continue like this, I will be really angry..."

Ichinose suddenly showed some dissatisfaction on his face, and stepped on my foot lightly under the table. I at least pretended to be in pain to cover it up.

"...By the way, Luo still hasn't told me why Kanzaki-san came to visit so early?"

Ichinose asked me a question that I had not been able to answer before. At that moment, my first reaction was not to answer the content of the question, but the attractive figure I saw not long ago. Although I forgot the fact that there was a beautiful girl sitting in front of me when I started eating breakfast, it was still very tempting when I thought about it now.

......

There weren’t any other issues with the clothing on the front, and there were no bulges where they shouldn’t be… so how was this done?

I explained Ichinose's question while hiding where my attention was going.

"Kanzaki wanted to observe the locksmith's techniques and process for changing locks, but since he wasn't sure when he would start, he just said hello to me first, hoping that I could remind him at that time."

"Originally he tried to contact me via mobile phone. I saw it but forgot to reply at that moment. That's why he came to visit me so early. Since it was already shown as 'read', I couldn't help but respond."

"So this is ah......"

Ichinose nodded, and then she stared at the milk in the cup in a daze.

Although I don't have the ability to read minds, I can guess that Ichinose is thinking about the process of changing the lock.

However, I also have other things that I need Yizhi's help with.

"Speaking of which, I have something to trouble Ichinose with as well."

"Um, what?"

"Originally, we might not have to do this, but since Kanzaki has confirmed that he will be observing the unlocking, I'll have to trouble Ichinose to hide."

"Do you need me to hide?"

"Well, I don't know if Kanzaki will come to my room after the locks are changed. And if Shiratori comes to my room at this time, it will be even worse..."

"...Will it be that serious?"

"Well... Of course, if Ichinose doesn't care about having her innocence associated with me, then that's another matter. Maybe it's okay to just walk out of the room."

"Well, then I'd better hide..."

"In serious cases, we might even talk until the evening."

"This, this is too dangerous. I have to hide for a few hours. I have an appointment with Chihiro and the others in the afternoon to go to a dessert shop together... And if Shiratori and the others find us halfway, the misunderstanding will deepen..."

"If it really comes to that, I will just force them to 'convince' me. Besides, that's just a possibility. It's still uncertain what the truth will be."

The gatherings planned by Shiratori and the others are usually discussed and confirmed in advance via mobile phone messages. As long as we don't happen to run into each other while changing the locks, I can refuse the request with that probability.

"I see... Then I should hide in the closet? They won't do anything to Luo's closet, will they?"

"No, for some reason my room has been ransacked by them, so they won't have any boring activities like this."

"Has it been looted? ...Can I ask what the reasons are?"

"It's not something unusual. I just want to confirm whether there are any little secrets in my room among the boys."

"So the result is..."

Facing Ichinose's expected look, I nodded and told him the result with confidence.

"The result was nothing, it was quite boring, and my room was listed as a gossip space by them."

There are very few people who can hide the secrets in their hearts as well as I do. Most people will forget to be on guard after a long time.

I slowly ate the rest of my breakfast while Ichinose was in a state of joy.

——[If students’ energy is not focused on their studies, not having a girlfriend in the wonderful high school life will make people feel quite empty, lonely and cold.]

"..."

Although I really want to find out who made this statement, unfortunately the note after the sentence says that it is a great man who said good things without leaving his name.

This sentence appeared in the category of the literati's understanding of the truth of human nature, so it is hard to ignore the value behind the sentence. If you knew that the person who left this sentence was a celebrity who was well-known even among elementary school students, it would definitely attract the attention of countries around the world, and at the same time, praise and criticism would go hand in hand.

What that guy thinks of school life is a point worth pondering. But from a general rational point of view, I think that without urgent physical or spiritual desires, most people will not deliberately look for a partner worthy of trust.

In fact, it is extremely challenging to clarify one's true feelings and to achieve mutual affection.

It is still a question whether high school students can think of these two points with their average intelligence level.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Ichinose, who was sitting next to me and swiping his fingers on the screen of his mobile phone.

At this time, she was using student software to browse information in a chat group, but I didn't know which group it was. Anyway, she seemed to be quite serious, and after typing a certain word, she started laughing to herself.

"..."

No, no, no, this question is not what I need to consider now. Besides, this book is also a second-rate piece of stuff. After all, it doesn't even have the qualifications to be published. How can I believe the content in it?

At this moment, Ichinose also noticed my gaze and smiled at me sheepishly.

"Did I disturb Luo?"

"No, I just wanted to stretch my eyes because I've been reading for a long time. I happened to see what Ichinose was doing... Well, it can be regarded as a reference."

"Reference...? Come to think of it, what do you usually do?"

"Hmm, hasn't Ichinose asked this question before?"

"Hey, did I ever ask a similar question? When?"

"Ah... I forgot exactly when, but I seem to have such a memory..."

"It must be Luo's illusion. I don't think I have ever asked Luo about any private matters. Besides... there are also some reasons that Luo is unwilling to tell."

I could see the anger on Ichinose's face, which was not a good thing.

"Really? But I always feel like Ichinose knows everything about me, like what I usually do is already considered common sense..."

"How is that possible?"

"You can understand it if you think about it. After all, Ichinose has been responsible for my meals these days. During this time, I watched TV, read books, reviewed my homework... Almost all the things I would do in my spare time were taken care of by Ichinose..."

"Is that all? Is there nothing else to do?"
