Finally, I became their white moonlight

How long will these days, filled with intrigue and confrontation, yet not annoying at all, last?

Neither of them knew, neither of them thought about it, and at the same time neither of them could deny it.

Tacit understanding is like the two ends of a scale.

Once you start to lose balance, it will be easy to collapse.

And Ming Hai is the scale between them.

The moment he makes a clear choice, the current relaxed atmosphere of being both enemies and friends will immediately disappear, and the relationship between the three will be brought to a new level.

——Will we never be friends again?

——After a big fight, will you never want to have any more contact with each other?

Or will you completely give up all unnecessary thoughts and protect the remaining friendship to the end?

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't imagine it.

She was like a lost child, walking alone on a road with no signposts and no end.

...until that day.

From Minghai, Nagasaki Suyo finally saw what the end of this road looked like.

It is close at hand, and its shape is definite.

It is neither cruel nor scary, and is even small enough to fit in a box.

She had to admit—

"The scale has been tilted since the beginning."

no way.

Already knew.

It's all my own fault.

Wait a little longer, maybe there will be another chance in the future.

……

……

Why is it so unfair?

"… Such annoying good weather."

Looking at the clear sky outside the wooden corridor, listening to the light footsteps of the girl catching up.

Nagasaki Suyo raised her head, squinted her eyes, and let the cool breeze blow her slightly curly brown hair.

She pursed her lips, but couldn't smile.

-

The time soon came to noon.

A group of six people gathered in the kitchen and listened to the teenager in the center begin to assign tasks.

"Now, raise your hands if you can cook."

Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tateki both raised their hands, and after a brief hesitation, Toyokawa Shoko also raised her hand straight up with a serious expression.

Ming Hai couldn't help but gasp and looked at her in disbelief.

"Teacher Xiaoxiang, you..."

Her eyes were stern and she raised her chin proudly, ready to meet his admiration.

"…You don't think knowing how to microwave food counts as cooking, do you?"

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes widened immediately, her hands clenched into fists, and she protested angrily, "Of course, microwaving food is different from cooking it yourself! Ming Hai-kun, how ignorant do you think I am!"

Ming Hai spread his hands, looking innocent: "Then we have to mention that a certain young lady thought that watermelons grew in a triangle shape, and that apples actually had apple cores."

common sense?

It’s my first time going to a karaoke bar and I don’t even know how to use the self-service beverage machine. How dare you talk to me about common sense?

"besides……"

Before he could finish, Toyokawa Shoko rushed over and tried to cover his mouth with her face flushed.

"The past is the past, and the present is the present! I have grown up!"

Ming Hai controlled her hand and leaned back, his nose still smelling the scent of gardenia on her body.

"Where did it grow? Can you tell me more specifically? Do you know the steps to wash rice?"

I was just going to tease her, but I didn't expect Toyokawa Shoko to look serious and answer without hesitation:

"Gently wash the rice two or three times, not too much or too hard, drain the water and add about 1:1.2 of mineral water! If you have time, soak it for minutes before cooking, the taste will be better."

Ming Hai stood there in a daze, the smirk on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became a little embarrassed.

"Uh... you really checked it."

"Not only have I checked, I've cooked it myself at home!"

She snorted unhappily, withdrew her hand, stood in front of him with her head held high, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Do you believe it now? Although I don't know much yet, I have already started to learn cooking techniques!"

Ming Hai was very puzzled: "Why did you suddenly start learning? You were clearly a stupid young lady who had never done any housework before..."

"Stupidity is superfluous!"

The amber eyes stared at him. Toyokawa Shoko was originally angry with her eyebrows raised, but after their eyes met, her eyebrows softened unconsciously.

Her watery eyes were filled with tenderness and admiration for him.

She sighed slightly, her voice soft like a freshly rolled marshmallow, and a smile bloomed naturally at the corners of her lips.

"Narumi-kun, haven't you learned a lot for me?"

"I thought that you shouldn't be the only one who always sacrifices for me... That's why I found some time to ask someone to teach me cooking knowledge."

Toyokawa Shoko looked him in the eye and said word by word with great seriousness: "After I can make lunch boxes for you myself, I will also learn how to wash clothes, clean, and put things away..."

"Learn how to change from a 'silly young lady' to an outstanding woman who can stand by your side and support you with everything!"

The girl's cheeks were flushed and her ears were red.

Even so, she still stretched out her hand firmly, tightly grasped his hand hanging at her side, and made an oath that could not be questioned.

“Perhaps, our future is still uncertain.”

"But, little by little, I have been trying to make it suitable for us."

“So, so—”

Biting her lip lightly, she was about to say the next sentence, but she found that Ming Hai had turned his gaze away at some point, his eyes slanted at the ground.

Although his expression didn't change much, his eye blinking frequency became noticeably faster, his neck seemed to be slightly flushed, and the temperature of his palms was much hotter than usual...

Wait, is this!?

Suddenly realizing something, Toyokawa Shoko opened her eyes wide and blurted out in disbelief:

"Narumi-kun, are you shy?!"

Volume 112: Chapter Chapter Ruoye Mu's Cucumber

"Shy? Don't be silly. Do you think I'm shy?"

Ming Hai turned his gaze back expressionlessly, pouted his lips, broke free from her hand which was getting tighter and tighter, and turned his head calmly.

"Since you can cook, I'll let you cook for the next few days. As for the others..."

"Don't try to change the subject!"

Just like the little girl who finally caught a butterfly and refused to let go.

Toyokawa Shoko took a sudden step forward, slapped her hands over his face, and forced him to look at her again.

Then she stood on tiptoe and examined his expression carefully as if she was going to kiss him. The light in her eyes was so bright that it almost burned him, and her tone was obviously full of excitement.

"This reaction is definitely because you're shy! I'm not mistaken! You were never shy no matter what you did before, so why are you shy now just for shaking hands?! Ming Hai-kun, you're not..."

"I'm not shy, I'm just a little embarrassed and ashamed!"

Ming Hai tried to keep a straight face, staring at her closely with eyes wide open, his eyes as firm as a fish that had been slaughtered in RT-Mart for ten years, and he did his best to defend his masculinity:

"Teacher Xiaoxiang, please be careful about the time and place. It's only natural that I would feel ashamed for doing such things and saying such things in front of everyone. When did you become so shameless?"

"Right now, isn't it possible?"

Feeling the warmth rising on the cheek in her palm, Toyokawa Shoko became more certain of her suspicions and, contrary to her usual practice, pressed him step by step, leaving no room for him, trying to peel off his disguise layer by layer.

"I'm not shy, this is a lie, right?"

"Although you have tried very hard to cover it up, don't try to fool me who can see through even that lie!"

Although she didn't say it explicitly, Ming Hai, who was forced to look into her eyes, almost instantly understood what the lie meant -

"I like you, Xiangzi."

At that time, he really tried his best to disguise this lie as a sincere confession.

Even so, he was still seen through by the girl in front of him, which led to a series of events afterwards.

This outrageous ability to detect lies is like a setting of evil humor written by God.

Ming Hai can deceive Xiangzi, but he can never lie to her.

"..."

As if speechless, Ming Hai opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what words to use to refute this.

Of course he knew he couldn't fool her.

But I didn't expect that Xiangzi would take the initiative to bring up this "sad thing" and make him admit that he was shy accidentally.

——Does this guy really want to see himself laugh at himself?

Her offensiveness is even stronger than ever before. When did his gentle and kind-hearted Miss Xiangzi turn into such a bad woman who is always right and never gives in?

Ming Hai felt sad and could only fight hard.

-

Just like a succubus who successfully enchanted humans.

Now that she had successfully controlled him, Toyokawa Shoko would naturally continue her attack and squeeze out all the truth hidden deep inside his body.

"Mr. Ming Hai..."

Just when the next combo is about to be released.

There was a loud bang, and the kitchen stove shook slightly.

Everyone trembled with fear and looked towards the direction where the sound came from in surprise.

"I say, isn't it time to prepare lunch now?"

Nagasaki Suyo slowly pulled the kitchen knife from the chopping board.

The girl's voice is gentle and sweet, and seems to have a bit of innocence that shows she is ignorant of the world.

"Everyone is hungry and waiting for you to finish talking. If you continue to kiss each other like this without paying attention to others, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

She tilted her head slightly, smiled broadly, and offered suggestions gently and generously.

The sharp tip of the knife was vaguely pointing at the man and woman in an ambiguous posture. The cold and shining blade reflected a pair of eyes without a smile, as cold as a knife that had been used to kill fish in RT-Mart for ten years.

Ming Hai and Xiangzi separated instantly, coughed awkwardly, and returned to their original positions as if nothing had happened.

"Then I will continue to assign tasks..."

The atmosphere finally returned to normal with Ming Hai's calm voice.

Nagasaki Suyo put the kitchen knife back into the chopping board unhappily and glanced at the others who had remained silent.

"Really... I'd normally stop someone from flirting with me in the middle of a serious conversation, right? Am I the only normal person among the six of you?"

She looked at Takamatsu Deng - for some reason, the little animal girl's face showed not only disgust, but also a hint of envy.
