Come on again, Yukino

"Cleaned up..."

Haruhi held a pot of washed vegetables in front of Xiaoxue, and wiped the apron between her chest with her wet hands, with a smug expression on her face.

then----

Yukinoshita's icy voice came again.

"It's just the easiest first step. From now on, ask the chef, Mr. Kasuga, to slice the washed tomato, dice the cucumber, shred the spinach, and finally dice the green pepper. Stir, add salt, lemon juice, and salad oil, then stir again, and the salad is almost done."

And Haruhi's original smile slowly solidified at the corner of his mouth after Xiaoxue's sentence. He silently put the washed bowl on the desk, took two steps back, and held the refrigerator to cover the complaining. Face.

"It's so difficult, I don't even remember it. Xiaoxue, you are deliberately making things difficult for me. Which vegetable salad is sliced, diced, and diced again?"

"What do you think? What should be done?"

"Just mix all the ingredients together, it's okay!!"

Xiaoxue, who poured the cold rice from the night into the pot, ignored the boy who was still splashing.

"As expected of Mr. Haruhi's imagination, but I don't have the time to make things difficult for you, think about it with your exhausted brain that is about to disappear, is it all the vegetable salads you used to eat at home this way? ?"

"How can I remember so clearly, after all, you have cooked so many dishes."

It's true that Haruhi doesn't quite remember how Xiaoxue made the salads in his previous life. At that time, he seldom went to places like the kitchen except for occasionally going to the refrigerator to find something to eat.

"But I can remember the practice of each dish clearly, also because I have cooked so many dishes for you."

Yukinoshita answered Haruhi's question without looking up,

But speaking of this, the girl laughed a little with a nostalgic meaning.

What woman can cook for the same man for seven years before getting married.

She did it, and now Yukinoshita suddenly admired her original self.

……

"call……"

At a certain moment, a drop of translucent oil star accidentally splashed between the fingers of the wooden shovel under the snow. In an instant, the fair skin of the girl's fingers turned red due to the scorching temperature, but in the face of all this, the girl He only frowned slightly, but the movement of his hands did not stop.

"Is it really not hot?"

Haruhi looked at Xiaoxue who was indifferent to all this,

Even he felt a little distressed about Yukinoshita's red-stained finger.

"What's the fuss about, do you think this is the first time I've encountered such a thing?"

Yukinoshita-san was too lazy to explain anything to Haruhi.

He let out a breath of hot air, and after Xiaoxue covered the pot, he went straight to the counter where the vegetables had just been washed in Spring.

She casually washed her newly scalded fingers with clean water, while calling out some idiot's name.

"Come here, I'll teach you how to cut."

Her voice softened a little.

"What about you, that idiot who is holding the refrigerator stupidly!"

Her eyes were on Haruhi, who was still squatting by the refrigerator and was a little hit,

The heat in the kitchen made her several black hairs wet and stuck together with sweat, her not full chest was heaving slightly, and the sweat on her forehead was still sliding down her cheeks, the girl wiped it gently.

"Oh... here it comes."

Haruhi stood up and came behind the girl.

In the quiet kitchen, there was a rustling sound from the pot next to it.

At this moment, Xiaoxue was holding the kitchen knife in one hand and the vegetables that needed to be cut in the other. When she felt her body being slowly pushed by the young man behind her, her face, which had been reddened by the heat, turned a little rosy again. .

Unable to hold back the shyness in her heart, she tried her best to keep her composure.

"Stretch out your hand, hold my hand, and teach you just this one time. Don't complain to me again next time that I'm making things difficult for you."

Haruhi's hand stretched out from behind her waist to the front of the desk, and according to her request, she gently held those soft, boneless hands.

The girl's slender waist twisted slightly,

Then, the knife in her hand slowly began to move on the cutting board.

sliced ​​tomato,

Cut the cucumber into pieces,

shredded spinach,

green peppers diced

Then pour in the seasoning and stir slowly...

In the blink of an eye, before Haruhi could react, the girl whom he held in his arms for some time had already completed everything he had to do.

"Did you see clearly? Mr. Haruhi"

Xiaoxue, who was busy with all the cooking, turned to look at the boy, her sweat-soaked hair was sticking to his neck like a weeping willow, and Haruhi felt a little cold on her neck.

"Uh... no."

The kitchen knife in Xiaoxue's hand made a beautiful cut in mid-air. With a gentle smile on her face, she left the boy's embrace and asked him again. .

"Did you see clearly?"

"See, see clearly, well, at least my Kasuga Fathu's eyes are clear."

The conversation turned suddenly, and Haruhi, whose body trembled, nodded desperately as if pounding onions.

My eyes tell me that I have learned real cooking at this moment.

……

…………

The starlight outside the window was shining silently, and the curtains of the balcony were pulled up to both sides, and the beautiful night scene of Chiba suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Speaking of Xiaoxue, did you have to prepare for a long time every night before?"

Haruhi brought two plates of steaming assorted fried rice to the dining table, looking at the girl who was unbuttoning her apron, he asked curiously.

This dinner took nearly half an hour, but he felt it was a bit too long.

"It's okay, I made it a little easier today because I came back late. Normally, it would take us at least one to two hours to cook a dinner." Yukinoshita rubbed her hands together, She put the apron in her hand on the back of the chair beside her, and answered the question lightly.

"..."

"What's the matter? Kasuga Chubby-kun looks stupid."

"Why don't you let me try it later?"

He was not in a hurry to eat, he held his chin and asked Xiaoxue tentatively.

moment,

"Absolutely not! Because your cooking will definitely kill people."

Koyuki in the living room, while shaking her head, refused Haruhi's request without hesitation.

"Hey hey?!!"

(ps: keep asking!)

Chapter 43 Pray that everything is not a dream

"Are you going to take a bath here? Or go back."

It was already past eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. After pulling down the curtains in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to cover the night scene that turned somewhat desolate, Yukinoshita quietly asked Kasuga with her back turned.

"..."

Haruhi, who was sitting on the sofa, was watching the replay of the football match on the TV, when his eyes suddenly rose slightly from the position of the TV, erratic.

Yukinoshita's voice came again.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll go to the bathroom first to help you put the bath water in."

"Would you like to wash them together? Anyway, I think the bathtub in your apartment is quite big."

Haruhi was eager to try as he raised his hand, but his eyes contained an incomparably sincere and pure color.

He didn't say this based on a dirty mind, yes, not a dirty mind.

"Don't you think that you, Fat Tiger, are sometimes pretty in some ways?"

She rolled up the cuffs of the knitted sweater a few times, revealing the two pairs of tender arms like white lotus roots. She didn't seem to agree with Haruhi Fat Tiger's proposal.

Under the guidance of this young man who often called himself "Fat Tiger of Haruhi", Yukinoshita slowly began to call Haruhi by the joking name of "Fat Tiger-kun".

"Where is the beauty?"

"It's beautiful!"

A dazzling sneer flashed on Yukinoshita's face, and he walked into the bathroom with a cold snort, and then there was a sound of rushing water in the bathtub.

"I think Xiaoxue, you and I just want to wipe your back with good intentions. During the day, in that tennis match, I remember that Xiaoxue sweated a lot at that time. Don't worry, beautiful girls will sweat too. I must have accepted it many years ago, and I will not despise you."

"Can you please shut up, Fat Tiger-kun? If you don't want to wash here, please go back to your shabby apartment for me."

Koyuki's impatient voice came again from the bathroom where the steam was slowly rising.

"coming."

Haruhi took out the clean clothes he had brought from home from the backpack he brought, and jumped off the sofa, turned off the TV that was still playing the football game, and ran towards the lit bathroom.

……

In the misty, hot bathroom,

in a huge bathtub,

Haruhi let out a strange cry while enjoying the ground, and then his sturdy body was completely immersed in the bathtub filled with hot water.

The young man's soft black hair was stained with a few drops of water dripping from the ceiling, and the hot water in the bathtub washed away his exhaustion at this moment. Under his neck, the young man's hair was whiter than the girl's. The skin was so steamed by the hot air in the bathroom that it turned into a rather bright red, and the tired and slack limbs were exceptionally comfortable under the hot water, and the bones seemed to be softened, and he collapsed. into the bathtub.

It's really nice to be able to stretch all fours out of the tub.

He recalled the experience of the day today, and the scenes in his mind flashed like a marquee.

Outside the frosted glass door, only the head part was exposed to the hot water, and Haruhi saw Xiaoxue's vague figure standing outside the door.

Only then did Haruhi remember the clothes that he casually took off and thrown on the hanger outside the bathroom. As if stimulated by some bad memory, half of his body suddenly leaned out of the bathtub and shouted.

"Don't wash my uniform. I have to wear it tomorrow. I don't want to end up wearing your short skirt to school."

The bathroom door was slowly pushed open at this moment,

Haruhi hugged his body and sat back in the bathtub. The hot water in the bathtub just submerged his neck and covered his sexy, attractive and strong body at the right time.

"What do you want?"

Haruhi carefully asked the girl who broke in without even saying hello, and couldn't help asking.

"Not at all..."

Xiaoxue, who came in, looked at the scene in the bathroom and shook his head with a cold face.

I saw a white bath towel around her at the moment,

Her beautiful face like melon seeds and her clear eyes penetrated the hot mist in the bathroom. After seeing the spring sun, her face was as red as the cherry blossoms in March.

When Xiaoxue was in high school, her figure was not as plump as she was in the future. Compared with her older sister, she was slightly thinner overall.

A drop of water fell on the white oval shoulders, and the pale and sexy collarbone made the man in front of him swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Where are your eyes looking?"

While the girl was arranging her black hair that was falling down like a waterfall on her chest, Haruhi turned her head away with some guilt at her cold words,

However, he understood her a little bit, and he still pulled down the shower curtain next to him to cover his figure, and while standing out of the bathtub, he tied the clean bath towel thrown by Xiaoxue around his waist. .

The boy who climbed out of the bathtub blushed in a rare fashion, and dawdled to Koyuki.

"Let's talk about it first, I was just joking at first, I really didn't intend to let you rub your back."
