Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

After a long time, the panting gradually subsided and Kitagawa poked his head out from under the quilt.

Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, adding a touch of laziness to her.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the open curtains, casting a crimson glow on her face.

The girl's deep brown pupils reflected the sunset. Even without makeup, she still showed a stunning appearance.

"But, Senior's embrace is so warm~"

Kitagawa's pink lips moved as she looked out the window, lost in thought.

‘Dong-dong-dong. ’

A short and quick knock on the door woke Kitagawa up from his deep thoughts.

Nanami's voice also came from outside the door at the same time.

"Haimeng, are you up yet? Xiaojun just called and said he'll be here soon."

"Yeah! Got it, get up right away!"

After shouting loudly to the outside of the door, Kitagawa quickly climbed out of the quilt.

"Stay!"

Because of his big movement, Kitagawa accidentally kicked the coffee table beside the bed. His body immediately became unstable and he fell back onto the bed, holding his foot and screaming in pain.

"what happened?"

Hearing Kitagawa's cry of pain, Nanami quickly opened the door before she could leave.

"Why don't you turn on the light?"

Seeing that the room was dark, Nanami raised her hand and turned on the ceiling light.

With a "pop!" sound, the room instantly became as bright as day.

It was only at this time that Kitagawa realized that the sunset had already disappeared.

Rubbing his toes, Kitagawa chuckled and said:

"It's okay, I just kicked the coffee table by accident."

"Let me see."

Nanami stepped forward and pulled away the girl's hand, revealing one of Kitagawa's jailers.

The five toes painted with pink nail polish were bent restlessly in the air, sparkling and smooth like gems under the light.

Even though they were both women, Nanami couldn't help but be amazed.

"It's okay."

After looking around and not finding any swelling, Nanami straightened up with a sigh of relief.

"Pack up quickly, Xiaojun will be here soon."

"Oh~"

Kitagawa made a cool gesture of receiving, then quickly pulled up the strap that had slipped off due to bending over and walked towards the dressing table.

Seeing this, Nanami shook her head helplessly, then walked out of the bedroom, closed the door, and returned to the kitchen.

……

‘Ding dong~’

"Qingshan, it's me."

"coming!"

Hearing the doorbell and the familiar voice, Nanami, who was stirring the soup pot with a spoon, quickly turned down the heat.

Even though there was no water on her hands, she subconsciously wiped them on her apron.

‘Crack. ’

After unlocking the door and opening it, Qihai immediately raised her eyes and locked onto Beichen's face, then nodded slightly.

"Welcome back. The meal will be ready soon. Xiaojun, please go sit in the living room first."

After saying this, Nanami suddenly had the feeling of a wife welcoming her husband home.

Not to mention her, even Beichen had this feeling.

Before Nanami moved into his house, she always went home with him.

Later, after moving in, Beichen went to another world, so it was difficult to have this feeling.

Nanami is now wearing a blue short skirt and a green plaid apron tied around her waist.

She wore light blue hot pants, revealing her tight and round legs.

The long brown hair that was originally tied up high has now been changed into a low ponytail, passing through the girl's fair neck and scattered on her chest.

This outfit really makes her look like a housewife, giving people an indescribable sense of comfort.

Seeing that Beichen did not respond immediately, Qihai couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Beichen.

When she saw Beichen looking at her with interest, she couldn't help but blush.

He quickly lowered his head again, bent down, took out the newly bought disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them at Beichen's feet.

Noticing the movement, Beichen smiled and thanked:

"Thank you. Also, the low ponytail suits you very well, it looks great!"

As he spoke, Beichen gave a thumbs up.

"No... No, and this is what I should do."

Nanami felt a little embarrassed when receiving the compliment.

"Haha, this is not right. You are on vacation now, not working hours."

Beichen shook his head and handed the snack box in his hand to Qihai.

"Eh? Aren't you going to wait for Kitagawa to come out before giving it to her? This is her home after all." Nanami asked puzzledly.

"Hey~ No need to be so serious, we're all the same age. And this was bought for you by Eru. She said it was rude of me to come empty-handed."

Originally, Beichen didn’t plan to buy it.

But he had a serious sister who quietly prepared a gift for Beichen.

There’s nothing I can do. I’ve already bought it.

If I don't use it, it would be a waste of Eru's kindness.

Hearing Beichen's words, Qihai took the snack box with a smile.

"Chitanda-chan is so thoughtful. I'll send her a message to thank her later."

"Okay, you decide."

Putting on his slippers, Beichen walked into the living room.

Smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen and the gas stove and side dishes prepared on the table, Beichen raised his eyebrows.

"eat hot pot?"

"Yes." Qi Hai nodded first, then asked nervously, "Does Xiaojun not like it?"

"Like it!"

Turning around, Beichen responded with a smile.

Even though he knew Beichen was talking about hotpot, Qihai still couldn't stop his heart from skipping a beat.

"Wow, wow, wow, let's go see if Hai Meng is up."

Holding the snack box, Qi Hai quickly walked past Bei Chen and headed into the house.

"Forehead……"

Looking at Qihai who left in a hurry, opened the door suddenly and then slammed it again, Beichen scratched his head, confused.

He vaguely heard Kitagawa's exclamation, probably because he was scared.

Kitagawa was indeed very frightened, and even his eyebrows were drawn crooked.

She thought it was Beichen who rushed in. She heaved a sigh of relief when she found out it was Qihai.

While facing the mirror, she gently wiped her brows with a cotton swab dipped in makeup remover oil, complaining:

"Nanami-chan, what are you doing? You scared me to death."

"Sorry, I was in a hurry to see if you had packed up."

Turning her head away guiltily, Nanami took a few steps forward and placed the snack box on the coffee table.

"This is the snack Xiaojun sent."

"Eh? Why are you so polite, senior?"

Kitagawa raised his hand to cover his mouth and looked at the snack box on the coffee table with surprise.

"Wow~ It's that delicious Onodera Japanese confectionery shop!"

As a foodie, how could she not know about Onodera's snacks.

But this thing is not cheap, and she can't eat it often.

Kitagawa couldn't wait to put down the cosmetics in her hand. Just as she was about to get up and go to the coffee table to open the box and taste the snacks inside, Nanami raised her hand to stop her.

"Let's eat snacks later. Xiaojun is here now, so don't let him wait too long."

"Besides, the hot pot will be ready soon... Hey! My pot!"

As she spoke, Nanami suddenly remembered that she had not turned off the fire. She screamed and turned away in a hurry.

"Haimeng, hurry up and pack up. Don't let Xiaojun wait too long."

"Hi~"

Looking at Nanami leaving in a hurry, Kitagawa realized that now was not the time to be greedy.

She quickly picked up her tools and started putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

In the morning, Beichen saw her in such an embarrassing situation, and now she must do anything to make amends.
