Love Comes After Learning

It was very fresh and delicious, and he took a bite of each dish regardless of his full stomach.

They are all the same as the ones just made, even more suitable for his taste than yesterday.

But Asada couldn't help frowning deeply, chewing, his expression was as complicated as eating durian watermelon ice.

Ruyi observed his reaction from the side, and her eyes couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Isn't it delicious? I'm quite confident this time..."

Asada closed his eyes and silently adjusted the uncomfortable tangled feeling in his body, so his words were a little stiff.

"No, it's delicious."

Not only delicious, but also very suitable for his taste.

Perhaps Nino can surpass her in terms of craftsmanship, but this slightly lighter flavor that is closer to the root of the tongue... Rui is slightly better.

However, seeing his strange expression, Rui didn't stop there, she leaned on the table and stared at him earnestly.

"I want your most honest opinion. If it doesn't taste good, just say it. I'll find a way to improve it."

"...I didn't lie." Asada put down his chopsticks, pinched the center of his brows, faced her clear and straightforward gaze, and suddenly fell short of words.

"It's really delicious. Your cooking skills are on par with my mother's. She always talks about being the number one seat among the ten masters of Yuanyue, known as the Home Cooking Witch..."

Rui was speechless for a moment.

"Then what, it feels so earthy..."

While making complaints like this, she inadvertently smiled with her brows curled up.

"Well, it's good to eat."

"..." Asada looked away from her smiling face, paused, and suddenly asked, "You had dinner at six o'clock, but these dishes didn't feel like they had been reheated...you know me When are you coming back?"

"……do not know."

Rui's eyeballs shifted, sliding away.

While eating, Asada asked nonchalantly.

"Specially helped me redo it a few times."

"……just one time."

"Waiting in the living room?"

"...Wherever I stay is my freedom." With rosy ears, Rui pursed her mouth slightly, muttering while looking at the night outside the window.

As if she couldn't bear his questioning gaze, she suddenly slapped the book and started to put away the dishes.

"It's so late, since you've had dinner, don't force yourself to eat these, it's not good for your stomach...the ice won't lose much of its taste overnight."

"..."

Asada didn't stop, put down the chopsticks, and just let her take all the things on the table to the kitchen to freeze them one by one, listening to the sound of the faucet.

He leaned against the back of the chair, lowered his eyes, and silently looked at the three books on the table, before speaking for a while.

"You don't need to wait here, and you don't need to redo the dishes."

The sound of the water stopped, she said it as a matter of course.

"It's just doing it casually, don't take it to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart, but it's not good to make people wait." Asada sighed, rubbed his temples, curled his mouth slightly, and whispered in distress, "...Sorry, I should be with you first. You said you weren't coming back for dinner today."

Rui walked over wiping her hands, looking at his expression curiously.

"It's the first time I've seen such an unwilling apology."

"It's not the first time I've heard your way of speaking that hurts others unintentionally."

Asada glared at her, the hot meal and the figure waiting quietly in the living room suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help turning his face away from her sight, feeling inexplicably irritated.

He didn't know how to describe the feeling.

Or in other words, he really didn't want to admit the fact that he was moved by a girl he had known formally for only two days.

Also, it was obviously not his fault, but he felt guilty for some reason—it was almost the same uncomfortable feeling as when Baiyin Xuemei slipped and fell in front of him in the morning.

Wait, so to speak...

Chapter 46 finally became a family with sisters

From the perspective of the elders, it is like taking a child to the zoo, but looking away for a few seconds, the child is attacked and injured by a gibbon because it is too close to the cage.

This guilt of "not noticing" is the same as the current mood!

I see……

The light in his eyes became more and more intense, Asada suddenly realized that he loosened his brows, and the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

He finally understood.

Ruyi sat beside him, leaned against the table, propped her chin with one hand and looked at him with one hand, wondering.

"What's the matter? It's strange that you suddenly let go."

"Speak politely to my brother." Asada greeted her gaze with a smile, and rubbed her soft hair under Rui's bewildered expression, "I will tell you in advance if I don't come back for dinner next time, today I'm really sorry to keep you waiting--

Sister Rui. "

"……what?"

Tachibana Ruyi suddenly found that the moment he said this sentence, his attitude towards himself, the distance between his heart and his mind, seemed to have shortened a lot.

His expression, movements, and tone of voice no longer had the strangeness and alienation from yesterday to just now—even though he was still jerky, he was trying to treat himself "the way he should treat his sister".

It wasn't just a simple joke like in the morning, but he said the word 'sister' to her seriously.

The corners of Rui's mouth twitched, her face slid off the support of her hands, and she looked at him inexplicably.

The other party's sudden change made it difficult for her to react for a while.

Asada looked at her with a smile on his face, and asked himself silently in his heart.

What is family?

——People who are waiting for their return at home.

The reason why he was entangled before was because he hadn't accepted Rui's identity.

Even though he had joked like that in the morning, Asada still subconsciously believed that she was a girl whom he had known for less than two days, a "stranger" with whom he had a past.

Caught off guard by being treated so tenderly, he would of course feel confused and uncomfortable—just like a wild cat that was suddenly given canned food by someone he knew well, his first reaction was definitely not to happily rub against her leg, but to run away and keep Watch the situation with vigilance.

It is impossible to accept all this logically. If he is so rough, he won't have to worry about how to get along with so many girls all day long.

However, he forgot one thing.

Tachibana Rui, a 16-year-old young and beautiful girl, is his cousin.

It is his family members who are related by law and blood.

As long as she faces up to her family's identity, as long as she accepts Rui as his sister from the bottom of her heart, all this becomes reasonable.

The younger sister is waiting for her brother to come back for dinner in the living room. Isn't it a touching family story?

Isn't it normal for family members to treat family members with tenderness?His parents are abnormal, but it doesn't mean that everyone in the family must be the same!

Yes, then there is nothing to resist.

Thinking of this, the smile on his face couldn't help but deepen a bit.

Asada stood up suddenly and walked towards the life contract.

Then he picked up the pen, his handwriting was unrestrained and unrestrained, and added an extra rule at the bottom.

『No.17: Eat meals together as much as possible. If you ask for leave, you should say it first. Don’t keep your family members waiting. 』

After putting down the pen, he just felt relaxed, and even sighed.

(It's not the small feeling of Lizhu that makes people want to care and love, this is the real sister...)

(Finally, do I have a younger sister too?)

(Chairman, Uesugi, Yugo...Although I never said it, but in fact, I am very envious that you all have a younger sister who can take care of...)

(Even if they will only live here for a month and a half, they are still new family members... and unlike that unreliable middle-aged couple, they are a superb cook with a gentle personality, and will silently wait for brother to come home in the living room Good sister.)

As the only son, he thought that the dream that was far away, but at this moment, it was realized with a perfection beyond imagination.

Tachibana Rui is his younger sister, his new family.

Just thinking about it, his chest felt as hot as if it was stuffed with a hand warmer, and the breath he exhaled was full of satisfaction.

He could feel a huge shift in his mentality, but it was surprisingly not annoying.

Turning his head to look at Rui who was staring blankly at this side, Asada coughed twice, a little embarrassed and authentic.

"I don't have class tomorrow, so..."

As if he was afraid of being rejected, and as if he was trying to test his sister's attitude, his tone was not very confident.

"Can I ask you for tomorrow's lunch and dinner too, Rui."

To a girl he just met not long ago, he would never say such a thing.

For his younger sister whom he just met not long ago, yet he can be so proactive in begging her.

As a rookie brother, Shinichi Asada didn't know if it was right to do so, but...

At least as an older brother, he has to take a step ahead of his younger sister to establish a good relationship.

——That’s what’s written in the book.

He was uneasy over there, but the corners of Rui's mouth twitched, her face was full of bewilderment, with a look of embarrassment.

"Yes...it's fine. It's better to say that I will do it if you don't tell me...just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Asada smiled reassuringly.

"That's it, then I will trouble you."

He took out his cell phone with an unusually gentle voice.

"Let's exchange contact information first, so as not to wait as long as before."

"Oh……"
