Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"Is this where it is?"

"Yes, the location is correct, it's right here. Isn't the house number written on it?"

"How luxurious... This is where Sakuraba-san lives."

Wearing a red and white baseball jacket, a white T-shirt underneath and a baseball cap, Sayuri Yukino looked particularly healthy, energetic and youthful. Looking at the spacious courtyard in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh.

Next to her was another girl who came here with her.

Possessing extraordinary charm, the temperament is quite different.

She was wearing just an ordinary white shirt as a base, with a dark British college-style jacket on the outside, and over-the-knee black stockings under her pleated skirt.

The whole person looks like a special aloof and academic master.

Her ears were revealed in her smooth long hair, and her bangs were slightly messed up by the wind. There was no special emotion on her delicate face, which was as cold as usual.

"All the people who live here are rich. There's nothing strange about it."

She said so.

Sayuri Yukino looked at the girl next to her and smiled.

"Oreki-kun should be here. Should we contact him first, or just knock on the door?"

Asagiri Ran walked straight forward.

"Nothing to contact, just knock on the door."

After she rang the doorbell, she found that Sayuri Yukino was looking at her strangely.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Sayuri Yukino smiled and shook her head.

"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that you have a good ability to take action. It seems that you are full of fighting spirit today."

Asagiri Ran rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"What do you mean by fighting spirit or not? I don't know what you are talking about."

"Really? It's not good to play dumb."

"There's no need to play dumb..."

"boom."

While they were talking, the door opened.

What was somewhat surprising was that the person who opened the door was not a servant, nor Sakuraba Mizuki himself.

But...a handsome boy with a sunny smile.

“Eh? Why is it Oreki-kun who opened the door?”

Sayuri Yukino asked curiously.

Oreki Gen looked at each of them and said with a smile.

"I just woke up when Jianyue was resting, and I just finished my work when I heard the doorbell. I thought it must be you guys, so I came to open the door."

"I see...what were you busy with?"

The two of them walked in together following Oreki Gen's steps.

Sayuri Yukino asked curiously.

Asagiri Ran seemed to smell something and frowned.

"Were you cooking?"

Oreki Gen looked at Asagiri Ryou in surprise.

"how do you know?"

Asagiri Ran said unhappily: "The smell of cooking oil smoke on you is so obvious, it's hard not to know."

Oreki Gen smelled his arm.

"No way, I just washed my hands and sprayed some perfume. It must be that Ranjiang has a very sensitive nose."

"Are you calling me a dog?"

"How could that be? That's not what I said."

"you..."

Sayuri Yukino suddenly stopped, and the boy and girl next to her looked at her.

She glanced at the endless sky.

"You're about to meet Jianyue-san, is it really okay for you to flirt with each other like this?"

"Who flirted? He's not worthy."

He turned his head towards Wu Ran.

Oreki Gen just smiled.

"Senior sister still knows how to joke. Come in quickly. It's time for dinner."

Asagiri Ran fell behind and watched the young man coming and going freely here, just like the male owner, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

He didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he didn't look happy.

When Oreki Xian led the two of them to the restaurant door.

They could already smell the fragrance coming out of it.

It was a very special fragrance, not something that one smelled often, which meant it was not a cuisine that they were exposed to often, but it smelled strangely familiar and I didn’t know how to describe it.

"What did Oreki-kun make? It smells so good."

Oreki Gen said as he opened the door with a smile.

"It smells good, and tastes even better. Come on."

When the door opens.

The two girls walked in and immediately saw the girl who was already in the restaurant.

He still had that noble temperament, and even when he smiled, one could still feel his superiority.

Sakuraba Mitsuki sat in the position that symbolized the master, looking at the three people who came in with a smile.

"Welcome to the Sakuraba family. My mother and sister are out for something, so I am here to entertain you. Please sit down and eat."

This seemed like basic courtesy on her part.

I was very generous and decent, but for some reason, I just didn't feel more respect. Instead, I felt... full of pressure.

Especially when he looked at me with a smile, all the pressure seemed to disappear.

Asagiri Ran felt it particularly clearly, especially when they looked at each other just now.

However, she did not say anything strange. Instead, she calmly found a seat and sat down.

Sayuri Yukino didn't seem to feel any influence or special atmosphere, and her personality remained the same as usual.

"Wow! It's Chinese food! I haven't had Chinese food for a long time. I remember the last time I had it was when I was in junior high school and it was on my dad's friend's birthday..."

Sayuri Yukino sat next to Asagiri Ryou, and Oreki Gen naturally sat next to Sakuraba Mitsuki.

He introduced with a smile.

"I learned all this from watching videos. It may not be very authentic, but the taste should be good. Oh, it's a little spicy, so don't eat it too fast. It's better to eat it with rice."

What is the essence of Chinese food?

Excluding dishes of the state banquet level, it is just a side dish.

Especially the southern Chinese cuisine, which pays more attention to color, aroma and taste, a slight spiciness and enough saltiness, which will increase people's urge to eat rice infinitely.

Sayuri Yukino couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect Oreki-kun to cook. I thought it was the chef at Sakuraba-san's house."

Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at the two of them and smiled slightly.

"Because I think the food my chef cooks at home may not be as delicious as his, and he also has a responsibility here. It's not just me who entertains the guests."

This sentence seemed to imply that Oreki Gen was already a part of the place, so his presence in cooking would seem more formal.

Sayuri Yukino seemed not to have heard it, and just looked at Oreki Gen with a little surprise.

"Do you think so highly of Oreki-kun? The cook at Sakuraba-san's house should be quite good."

Sakuraba Mitsuki looked at the two of them.

"Haven't you ever eaten the food he cooked?"

It seemed that Oreki Gen only realized at this moment what the girl meant by asking him to cook. It was just to test whether these two had ever eaten the food he cooked... No, what kind of motive was this? Was it necessary?

But it seems understandable. After all, Sakuraba Mitsuki is good at fussing about such small things and capturing these details.

I have made barbecue for these two people, and also cooked a meal for Asagiri Ran once. Does this count as a small crisis?

Just when Oreki Gen had this thought.

Sayuri Yukino just shook her head.

"I haven't eaten it yet, but I just know that he can cook, so I wanted him to help me make a meal, but he kept saying that he would refuse us if he had the chance. It seems that I don't have the good fortune of Sakuraba-san~"

Asagiri Ran sat there quietly, saying nothing, as if expressing her attitude with silence.

Oreki Gen was a little surprised that Sayuri Yukino lied.

And Asagiri Ran also agreed with the other party's lie... Was it a pre-planned agreement?

Asagiri Ran is not a person who likes to lie. Being tough does not necessarily mean lying, and she is not afraid of lying. It is just that most of the time she disdains to lie. It is her character to ignore everyone equally.

Did these two people discuss anything before coming here?

Oreki Gen didn't know, but he knew he had to agree with Sayuri Yukino.

"Here's your chance, let's eat quickly. We can talk about anything later, but the food won't taste good if it gets cold."

Sayuri Yukino nodded and picked up the chopsticks.

"Then I'll start~!"

When the meal finally started, Oreki Gen wiped a cold sweat from his heart.

My goodness, he has so many thoughts even when having a meal. If he marries Sakuraba Mizuki... Oreki Gen doesn’t dare to imagine the so-called married life.

Every day is either a suspense film or a thriller, right? Of course, there are also some love and action scenes.

When we eat, there is not so much topic to talk about.

This is also the reason why Oreki Gen chose to cook Chinese food.

Although it seems that people eat, drink and chat at the same time, this is what you would see at a Chinese dinner table.

In fact, if the taste is too good, but you have to be a little concerned about your image, you will keep picking up dishes and eating rice over and over again.

Even Sayuri Yukino shamelessly raised her bowl.

"Oreki-kun, I want another bowl!"

"Ok."

Oreki Gen was of course happy to add more food. The more the better. Even if they were full of energy, a full stomach would not allow them to do more.

This is also part of the plan.

After the meal, Sakuraba Jianyue asked someone to clean up the mess in the restaurant.

Then he said to the two of them.

"Let's go to the tea room and have a cup of tea first. We need to rest after finishing our meal."

Oreki Gen's heart skipped a beat, but his expression didn't change at all.

Sayuri Yukino smiled and nodded, then pulled Asagiri Ran and spoke.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Let's go have a cup of tea. We are not very good at tasting tea, so I hope you don't mind."

Sakuraba Mizuki shook her head and said with a smile.
