Chapter 355: Alone (more for Ward, Shuaishuai, Debu Yaobuyao Dejia)
)
After school.
Sayu came to someone's house.
When I saw Kato Yusuke wearing an apron appeared in front of me, he said "yo" and raised his hand to greet her.
Sayu couldn't help but be silent for a while, then tilted his head slightly and asked: "What are you doing...?"
"Fried chicken nuggets and miso soup."
"so……"
"Since you're here, come and help me. My skills are not as good as yours."
"……Huh?"
Kato Yusuke smiled, ignored her dazed state, directly reached out to hold her wrist, took her into the room, and closed the door with a bang.
The girl was like a puppet on strings. Under his guidance, the girl took off her shoes and came to the kitchen counter together.
The induction cooker was buzzing, with a frying pan filled with half the volume of oil placed on it, and next to it were quick-frozen fried chicken pieces bought from the supermarket.
There was also a large plastic bag with a supermarket logo printed on it, which contained miso paste and some other ingredients.
The small kitchen counter was crowded, giving people a messy and disorganized feeling.
"Are you alone today? Where is Yuko?" Kato Yusuke asked, naturally helping her take off her backpack from her shoulders and hang it on the back of the chair.
"Yuko said she had something to do, so she went back today... No! Why did you put the apron on me?"
"Didn't I just say that? Come and help make dinner, and we'll eat together."
"I don't remember ever agreeing to such a thing...!" Sayu stared at him intently, her eyebrows on both sides lowered to the middle in displeasure.
"Although I can make it, it won't taste as good as yours."
"I'm not talking about this, I have something to say to you."
Kato Yusuke smiled and said, "Let's do it first, and then slowly tell me what happened in school."
"...!"
"Why are you looking at me like that? How do you think you can hide that low mood from me?"
Sayu's eyes suddenly became complicated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. Then he opened his red lips lightly and said, "This kind of thing about you sometimes makes me feel very annoying."
Yusuke tilted his head slightly and said with a smile: "Your tone is not convincing, I will pretend not to notice it."
The girl silently withdrew her gaze, suppressed all the thoughts in her heart, and put her hands behind her back, ready to tie the apron string.
Kato Yusuke then said: "Don't move, I'll help you."
As he spoke, he walked up behind the other party, picked up two ties from a pair of hands, tied a bow on the back of his graceful waist, and praised in a low voice.
"suitable for you."
"..."
Sayu remained silent, her small and delicate ears glowing with a light red color like peach blossoms. She didn't look back at him, just picked up the long chopsticks and dropped the chicken pieces into the frying pan.
Crack, crackle.
Come on, come on.
The chicken pieces are tumbling in the golden hot oil, and gradually turn from white to golden yellow as time goes by.
Feeling that time was almost up, Sayu picked up the chicken pieces with chopsticks and drained the oil. Kato Yusuke took a plate covered with oil-absorbing paper and placed it in a convenient place for her.
Put all the fried chicken pieces into the plate.
The two began to prepare miso soup.
While the girl was frying chicken nuggets, Kato Yusuke had already prepared all the ingredients in advance, and all that was left was cooking and seasoning.
Sayu changed a new pot to collect water and placed it on the induction cooker.
After about 5 or 6 minutes, the water temperature in the pot is close to boiling, but it has not yet boiled.
Just as Sayu was about to ask for ingredients, a plate with chopped onions and potatoes was handed over.
This made her slightly startled, but she didn't say anything. She quietly put the ingredients into the pot and returned the plate.
There was a gap of several beats.
Sayu's eyes began to look for pork and wakame.
And these two things appeared in front of her before she spoke.
Although some people cook the pork first and then the wakame at this step, her habit is to cook the two together.
Sayu frowned slightly suspiciously and glanced at someone. What came into his eyes was a quietly smiling face. The gaze falling on her was very strange, as if he was looking at her and through her.
Looking at something else.
She pursed her lips and put the sliced pork and wakame into the pot.
Immediately afterwards.
Spoons, chopsticks, and miso paste were also handed over.
Sayu took it in her hand with a delay and took an appropriate amount of miso paste on the spoon.
While stirring the soup in the pot with long chopsticks, he observed someone with his peripheral vision.
A strange emotion couldn't help but arise in my heart.
Just like her behavior patterns are seen through by others, the other party can always know what she wants beforehand and will give it to her at the right time.
It was not a deliberate observation, but more like a habit developed in life, a kind of silent understanding.
This gave her the illusion that the two of them had been living together for a long time...
The summer breeze blows slowly into the room.
The aroma of food overflows from the pot, intertwining with the fragrance in the air.
A leisurely and comfortable atmosphere quietly filled the room.
Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling.
The harmonious melody lingered in his ears, and Sayu's heart gradually became calm.
"...Is there any rice?"
she asked softly.
"Yes, I'll serve the rice."
Kato Yusuke nodded, took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and filled the rice cooker with rice for the two of them.
"...Miso soup, would you like it saltier or lighter?"
"No matter what, if you are unhappy today, it doesn't matter if you get a little salty."
"oh……"
Sayu responded and reached out to turn off the power of the induction cooker.
This was the first communication between the two since cooking, but it was very natural.
Serve rice, miso soup, and fried chicken pieces in sequence.
Kato Yusuke put the kimchi bought from the supermarket into a small dish and took two bottles of oolong tea.
"Is it okay for you to drink this?"
"Can."
Shado nodded in agreement.
Although it was different from her original purpose, and Yuko was not around, in the current atmosphere, she didn't mind having dinner with someone.
The two sat down facing each other.
""I'm gonna start now.""
Kato Yusuke was the first to pick up the soup bowl and sip the soup. The rich salty taste filled his mouth, which made his mouth feel hot and nostalgic.
"It still tastes good." He let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but sigh.
"Or?" Sayu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Just keep making miso soup for me from now on."
"...Are you teasing me on purpose?"
Kato Yusuke raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of meaning, brought up the topic, and asked: "So what happened at the school?"
Sayu paused for a moment, then responded softly: "Shibata-sensei asked Saito to come to class, I couldn't stop it, I'm sorry..."
She lowered her gaze and stared at the table, feeling a little sad.
The room fell silent for a moment.
"so."
"...I tried telling the teacher about you, but he told me to leave it alone and said that you can only return to school after the punishment is over."
"Um."
"Obviously it shouldn't be like this, I can't help you, I'm sorry..."
The girl's voice became softer and softer, and there was a sense of depression in her listless words.
Kato Yusuke nodded lightly as if understanding, and suddenly smiled: "Do you think I will be angry because of this?"
Sayu raised her head blankly, her eyes falling slowly on his face, her beautiful eyes showing inquiry, as if asking "Isn't it possible?".
"Although I'm not not angry at all, it's more because I spend less time with you, and it has nothing to do with the suspension of classes."
"What are you talking about? You, big idiot——!"
Sayu's words changed from stagnant to smooth, and finally he shouted angrily, "I'm not joking with you now, can you be more serious!"
"To be more serious, do you want me to cry? Or do you want to protest to the school? Let's not say that I won't do such a thing. Even if I do, will the school allow me to go to school?"
"But now, doesn't it seem like everything has become your fault——?"
"Not everything, right?"
"Eh……?"
Kato Yusuke slowly drank the hot miso soup, chewed the small pieces of pork that entered his mouth, and did not speak until he swallowed the food.
"Let's not talk about the fact that Saito took the initiative to attack me. Even if someone doubts me, at least you will stand by my side, right?"
His attitude was too nonchalant, and his words didn't seem to be talking about his own affairs at all. It seemed that it didn't matter even if he became the object of everyone's suspicion, and he had a kind of detached calmness.
Sayu tightened his face and asked angrily: "What's the use of trusting you alone?"
"But this is enough for me."
"You actually said enough, you——"
"——After all." Kato Yusuke interrupted her, "There is no one more important than you here."
"...!"
Sayu froze on the spot, his eyes lost focus, showing a kind of confusion after being shocked.
Kato Yusuke took a sip of oolong tea, looked up at her, then stood up from his seat, leaned forward, and tilted his head while lowering his head.
"If you don't like it, just stay away." He whispered, and kissed the girl's lips the next second.
The taste of oolong tea invades your mouth, spreading gently and affectionately.
"Well……"
Sayu's finely intertwined eyelashes trembled slightly, and her shaking eyes gradually regained focus. Her two willow-leaf-like thin eyebrows were slightly frowned toward the middle. There was a flash of hesitation in her eyes, and then she slowly closed her eyes again.
She responded timidly and tasted the oolong tea in her mouth.
It was just because she was too clumsy that some of it occasionally flowed down the corners of her mouth.
The clear water mark extends downward, turns inward at the chin, flows along the round neck into the shirt, and slides over the small collarbone.
A slight chill, like that after a morning rain, slowly spreads on my chest...
Time seemed to be stretched suddenly.
Sayu raised his chin slightly, swallowed the oolong tea in his mouth several times, then raised his hands, supporting someone's jaw and cheeks as if pushing them.
Some feelings brewing in my heart quietly surfaced.
It seems that it's time to define this relationship, but it's still a little uncertain.
"...Yusuke." She chanted subconsciously, her thoughts were very slow, and she was not sure what was missing.
"...That's what I'll call you from now on." Kato Yusuke pecked her lips, then stepped back a little distance, his eyes also a little uneasy.
The girl's eyes are as crystal clear as the stars in the clear sky on a summer night, and as clear as a stream in autumn.
He walked around the table, walked over to the other person, and bent his knees slightly.
His hands were wrapped around her back and legs, and she was lifted horizontally. At the same time, she stretched out her legs to hook the chair to change its orientation, and sat down on it.
By the time Sayu reacted, she was already sitting sideways on his lap.
A deep throbbing enveloped him.
"...What are you going to do?" she said in a voice squeezed from her throat, with panic written on her face.
Kato Yusuke didn't say anything, he just looked at her with bright eyes.
Being stared at by him like this, Sayu became even more uneasy and began to move.
"Put me down, okay?"
Yusuke tilted his head slightly, feeling a little strange about her state. He put a little force on his arms on his waist and knees, but hugged her tighter.
"...!"
Sensing this change, the girl frowned and glared at him, as if to intimidate him.
Kato Yusuke smiled and shook his head, as if he was holding a large stuffed toy, soft and soft.
He kept one hand motionless on his slender waist, and the other hand covered the girl's smooth knees.
Sayu's fair cheeks were crimson, and her crystal lips glowed lightly under the light, creating a sense of moisture visually, making her appear plump and attractive. Her two slender calves were held together stiffly,
His feet were hanging in the air, swinging back and forth.
Staring at her like this.
Kato Yusuke couldn't help but recall the way the girl tried her best to defend him during that conflict, which made his eyes trance for a moment.
He immediately said: "Let's talk."
"……say something?"
"Um."
"Then, let me down."
Yusuke smiled, but shook his head slightly to express his refusal.
Seeing this, Sayu's face tightened, with anger and shame in his eyes. After confronting him for a while, he finally lost the battle, turned his head and said two words.
"you say."
"Keep an eye on Yuko's condition at school. If you have any questions, please tell me or go to Misaki-sensei. Can you do that?"
"Yezi's... state?"
"Um."
Kato Yusuke nodded and explained: "Compared to you, her heart is too fragile, and she is in a sensitive stage now. I'm worried that Yuyue's group will cause trouble for her."
Hearing what he said seriously, Sayu slowly turned his face, his expression becoming slightly serious.
"Why do you think that?"
"Just in case, after all, girls' jealousy is quite scary."
After looking at him thoughtfully for a while, the girl suddenly asked: "...are you hiding something from me?"
Kato Yusuke blinked, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about whether to tell her.
Then he nodded again, as if he had finally made up his mind, and motioned her to come closer with his eyes, and Sayu also lowered his head slightly in response, listening carefully to what he said.
So...
"The thing I'm hiding from you is..." Someone said in a very low voice: "You are so cute that I want to eat you in one bite."
…
After having a rough dinner like this.
Sayu left today's class notes and said goodbye with a straight face, and Kato Yusuke followed her to the entrance.
Seeing that the girl was still brooding over the teasing just now and didn't want to say a word to him, Yusuke grabbed her wrist.
"...What are you doing!"
"Will you wait for me?"
"Wait for you……?"
"Um."
"I won't wait for you..." Sayu waved his arms and said, but did not take a step forward.
Kato Yusuke was not angry about this, he smiled and let her go.
Sayu also said nothing as if he was angry, but silently lowered his head to put on his shoes.
Put the little foot wrapped in black calf socks into the small leather shoe, then lift the heel, and then switch to the other foot...
When she put on her shoes and stood up, she did not leave immediately, but stood there for two or three seconds.
Immediately afterwards, an almost inaudible word rang out from the entrance.
"...I alone cannot hold the position of squad leader and deputy squad leader at the same time."
——"So you have to come back soon."
Kato Yusuke looked at her back with a doting smile on his face, then raised a hand and placed it on the girl's head, gently stroking her silky hair.
