Chen Xiaofeng looked hard into Yu's eyes - and she turned her head in confusion.
[I don’t know what’s going on...I feel a little sick...]
"Well……"
Chen Xiaofeng seems to have messed up?
"You, you want to learn cooking, right? So I thought, if you want, I would give you a book suitable for getting started - there is really no evil intention."
After all, "The Correct Practice of the Manchu-Han Banquet" is not something that mere mortals can control.
Chen Xiaofeng stammered in defense. Then You wrote expressionlessly.
[Chen Xiaofeng...have you really never dated other girls? 】
"Of course not, why do you ask?"
[Because, I always feel that you seem to understand other people's hearts very well. When I was with Misaka and the others before... I would say you were gentle... I felt as if you were familiar with it. 】
Listening to Yu's words, it seemed that something had been misunderstood.
"No... I just got a lot of lectures from her when I was alone with Minato, so..."
【Oh, that's how it is.】
Yurou bit the penholder thoughtfully.
【Are you really not a girl-controller?】
"That's so long-winded!"
Chen Xiaofeng snorted and turned away.
Yu seemed to be tapping the penholder happily.
[But forget it...I understand what you mean, after all, I still know my talent in cooking.]
"Is that so...but I still hope to be able to eat the normal food you cook."
[Well, that may disappoint you... Mainly because I think I will see something I want more in the future, so spending money on such a place would be a bit of a waste. 】
"makes sense."
After all, the money Chen Xiaofeng brought today was limited. But in this situation, You must have been cleverly avoiding Chen Xiaofeng's gift proposal.
After walking out of the bookstore, what happens next——
Although this kind of date seems a bit unseemly, and it is not even as "accidental" as the last time, but after all, this time is Yuu's plan!
Just like this, Chen Xiaofeng is very happy. Chen Xiaofeng can feel that You really is looking forward to dating him.
However, precisely because of this... Chen Xiaofeng feels that there is still a step left. Can there be some further surprises, right?
Chen Xiaofeng opened and closed his right hand several times and stared at it.
"That, that... Yuu."
【how?】
"Would you like to do what we did last time... hold hands or something?"
However, after listening to Chen Xiaofeng's suggestion, Youmeng hid his hands behind his back, his eyes seeming to say "What do you want to do?"
"Uh...if you don't want to, forget it..."
This is really too sensitive. You are my girlfriend. How innocent are you... And it's not like I haven't held hands before. I even kissed when there was no one else... Wait, there is no one... Could it be?
Yuu feels embarrassed to be on the street? If you think so, it is indeed possible.
However, even if he knew the reason, Chen Xiaofeng would still feel a little unwilling.
"Hey... Minato would hold my arm when we went out together... Yu, you are not even willing to hold hands... It's such a pity, such a pity~"
[Chen Xiaofeng, you don’t think that just by saying, ‘My sister and I have done this’, I will do it with you for any reason, right? 】
"How could that be possible? If I really thought so, I would have said, 'Minato even let me touch my breasts'!"
【What! You actually touched your sister's breasts!】
"Who said that! It's just a metaphor! I just want to overturn your previous assumptions!"
Chen Xiaofeng's high notes almost attracted the side glances of passers-by.
"Ahem, anyway, if you don't want to, forget it!"
[Also, it’s not that I don’t want to...]
"Eh?"
You held out a hand with a very serious expression.
It's not right to say "hand out", it should be said "stretch out hard", because Yu's shoulders were obviously strained.
Such an action seems to be righteous, but Chen Xiaofeng will not complain about it now.
Chen Xiaofeng took Yu's soft hand and shook it gently.
"!" You can clearly feel Minato's body shaking.
It's really comfortable and soft to hold! Chen Xiaofeng couldn't help but pinch it a few more times.
However, Yu’s slightly resentful eyes seemed to say, “I hate it! It’s too rough!”.
"...Don't use such misleading eyes!"
As he said this, Chen Xiaofeng noticed that Yu had an expression like "Really, don't just make obscene explanations by yourself."
Then.
Yu clenched his hands that were just gently held together, as if saying "Don't even think about running away!"
So, the two held hands and looked at each other for a while.
After continuing to walk on the road for a while, it happened to be noon. Yu took out the lunch box Minato made for the two of them, and the two of them moved to a nearby park. Under the warm sunlight, the two of them sat side by side on a bench.
Minato made rice balls for the two of them. This was something Minato learned in District 11. Although eating this kind of food in China would be a bit out of place, I have to say that rice balls are still very convenient to eat.
[I don’t know what ingredients were added.]
"What else can there be? Since we are making it together, then the long ones are kelp and seaweed, the slightly flatter ones are wormwood, and the round ones are probably made from prunes..."
【You really understand.】
"After all, it was my sister who did it! That guy wanted me to stop eating meat and vegetarian food."
【However, it would be nice to have some meat in it.】
"I was thinking about that too."
Chen Xiaofeng and You were eating lunch and chatting.
Then, Yu, who was sitting next to Chen Xiaofeng, suddenly handed over a note.
【Today... are you going on a date with me, are you bored? 】
This question startled Chen Xiaofeng and he immediately denied it.
"How could it be! No! Why do you ask so suddenly?"
【Really? That's good.】
Yu's expression softened significantly.
[Even if you are together with me, you can't seem to have a happy conversation... After all, I have such a special physique, and it is even more so after leaving Academy City. In addition, I have not been with other boys.
...Chen Xiaofeng, do you regret dating me?】
Yu seems to become cowardly in this aspect. He always gives people a very calm and confident appearance, but he didn't expect his self-evaluation to be so low.
Chen Xiaofeng thinks Yu is very beautiful and a very cute girl. However, Yu doesn't seem to think of himself that way.
"I have no regrets...I felt very happy for half a day today and one day last week."
【real?】
"Yeah...but today's bento is indeed a bit...when we get home, let's ask Minato to add meat to our meal later!"
If she is Yu, eating delicious food will definitely cheer her up, but in fact, the effect is not very obvious.
"However, I still hope to eat normal food cooked by Yu."
