Because I was afraid of death, I had to talk about love a few more times.

"Can't what?"

"No... nothing..."

Nakano Mayu tilted his head, and could clearly feel that the senior sister seemed to have grown a lot compared to when the two first met.

Of course, not physical growth...

"Forget it, I'll make you a delicious idiot-senpai, and let Nanako play with you in the living room..."

He lightly patted the girl's shoulder wrapped in a white shirt, smiled sassyly, and walked towards the kitchen.

"I...I can help too...if it's just preparation..."

"Just wait and wait..."

Nakano Shinsuke didn't look back, but waved his hand behind him and said.

"Oh..."

Before he entered the kitchen, he used the random upgrade card that had been left useless before to upgrade his cooking skills from LV1 to LV2.

Because he currently doesn't have other LV1 skills other than cooking, the card said random, but actually became a designated upgrade.

Before, he kept this card because he thought that he might get more useful skills that day and use it to upgrade.

I always feel that it is a bit of a loss to use it on daily skills such as cooking.

But just now he suddenly realized that the most important thing is to use better cooking skills to provide better food for relatives and friends around him. Greater satisfaction and happiness are the most important.

After the cooking skills are upgraded, you can make more delicious dishes and serve them to the people around you, which is no worse than any other skills...

......

Four or five dishes were placed on the dining table at Nakano's house at this time, each dish was steaming hot, full of color and fragrance, making Nanako and senior sister Quail who were waiting at the side subconsciously swallow their saliva.

Shinsuke Nakano stood by the table, still wearing an apron, prepared rice for the two of them, and then greeted them with a smile, "Eat after washing your hands, don't wait for me..."

"No, I have to wait for Nini to eat together..."

"Hmm..." The senior didn't say anything, but looked at him and nodded emphatically, expressing her agreement with Nanako's opinion.

"Fine..."

Seeing this, Nakano Shinsuke also took off his apron and sat down on the seat, then put his hands together with his senior sister and said, "I'm starting..."

Originally, their family did not have this habit, but considering the feelings of this little quail, they still eat according to normal Japanese family meals.

Afterwards, the two of them waited for him to catch the first quick bite, and then they couldn't wait to start eating.

Especially Nanako, who just bulged her mouth in an instant, as if she hadn't eaten for a few days.

"You idiot is so rude! I don't remember ever teaching you to eat like this!" Nakano Mayu softly reprimanded his sister, and then turned his head to look at the senior.

Seeing that her cheeks were also bulging, like a squirrel hiding food, the senior sister was a little embarrassed when she heard him reprimanding Nanako.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing this, Nakano Mayu also showed a satisfied smile on his face.

What cooks want to see most is that their dishes are eaten up, which will give them a special sense of accomplishment.

"Nini, why do the dishes you cook today seem to be twice as delicious as before... No, more than five times? Of course, the dishes you made before are also delicious..."

"Hehe... This is a boy's secret, I won't tell you casually..."

"Slightly, cheapskate Nini..." The girl spat at him her slick-looking little tongue, which was still stained with rice grains, and then devoted herself to the aerobic exercise of eliminating delicacies.

Chapter 280 Because I Feel Very Happy

After the meal, Nanako was responsible for cleaning up the follow-up bowls, and Nakano Shinsuke made a cup of tea for himself and his senior sister in the living room, sat on the corridor outside the French window, and slowly sipped it.

Probably because of the addition of cooking LV2, he felt that the tea he made today seemed to be better than usual.

He took a sip of the scalding tea, looked at the dusky sky, patted his bulging stomach contentedly, and then turned his head to look at the senior sister beside him who was kneeling on the cushion and sipping tea.

Under his gaze, the senior sister lowered her head slightly as he expected and said, "Why... how hiccup~"

"Hahahahaha..."

"Ugh..."

The hiccup just happened when he was staring at her, which made the senior sister sob, and looked at the floor with embarrassment, as if if there was a hole in the ground, she would be able to get into it right away...

"Too...too late, I...I'll go first..."

Haneda Qingxia put down the teacup in her hand, hurriedly walked to the living room, picked up her schoolbag and walked out.

Nakano Mayu looked at the figure of the senior sister who was about to leave, but did not continue to persuade her to stay.

But halfway through, the senior sister suddenly thought of something, took out a slightly bulging envelope from her schoolbag, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked back: "Here... this is for you..."

Nakano Shinsuke took the envelope and turned it upside down in a strange way, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is this? My money for whoring?"

"Ugh..."

The girl blushed slightly, and said softly, "It's your money back, just... exactly 100 million yen..."

Hearing this, he opened the envelope and took a look.

A thick stack of [-]-yen bills still smelled of brand-new ink, as if they had just been taken out.

"Where did you get so much money?" He frowned slightly, and asked the senior with a nonchalant face.

After asking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, flicked the money and asked, "This year's scholarship?"

"Um..."

"You didn't owe me any money, so what is it for?"

"Mom said... that what happened last time must have caused you a lot of trouble, and the previous debt should be paid for by you first, so at least the money..." The girl put her hands together Intertwine in front of the lower abdomen.

"The money was originally a gambling debt. I had a friendly exchange with the lender, and he also felt that the money should not be counted. Just go back and talk to Haneda-san, senior sister..." Nakano Mayu said , Put the banknotes back into the envelope.

Although money is indeed tempting, it is a scholarship for this little quail. If you take this kind of money, your conscience will really rot...

"Do not..."

"And isn't this money a scholarship? You're going to take the college entrance examination next year. Have you decided which school to go to?" Seeing the girl's stubborn expression, he directly changed the subject and asked.

"I... want to take the Qingying exam... can I do it?" the girl said halfway confidently, then looked up at him as if asking for advice.

"Is it Keio? It's definitely possible..."

Nakano Shinsuke was relieved to see the rare confident look on the girl's rosy face with almost invisible pores.

If this guy can come out of Keio, even if he is an ordinary clerk, he can easily support himself...

"Thanks...Thanks..."

"Then if you want to take the Qingying exam, you have to buy a lot of Qingying's previous test question sets, as well as tutorial books, and various test papers. This is a lot of money..."

"Well..."

Seeing that the girl was still hesitating, he raised his hand to pinch the girl's soft face, and pulled it away.

"Okay, go back quickly, and explain to Haneda-san according to what I just said, she will understand... nothing is as important as your exam next year, I believe she should think the same..."

Because of the posture problem, Nakano Shinsuke patted the girl's slender waist, stuffed the envelope into her schoolbag, and then pushed it out: "Hurry up and go back, Haneda-san will be worried if it's later..."

"Well..."

But who knows, the girl was pushed by her without saying a word, and suddenly began to shed tears...

The girl's tears were crystal clear, falling like pearls on the back of his hand.

"Ok?"

Seeing this, Nakano Mayu, who was still leisurely sitting on the ground, immediately stood up: "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"

He looked at his palm with some doubts. Although the skill attributes in various aspects have increased a bit recently, it shouldn't be to the point where he can't control his power?

"No...no..."

The girl kept wiping away the tear line on her face with her two small hands, and at the same time retorted anxiously.

It looks pitiful and lovable.

"Then why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Nakano Zhenyou is most afraid of seeing the girls close to him cry...

Especially senior sister's pitiful crying face always made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.

He hastily raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of the girl's eyes, and then asked the senior in a rare and gentle tone, "What's going on?"

"..." The senior didn't answer, but still wept silently.

Seeing this, Nakano Shinsuke had no choice but to embrace the girl in his arms, patted the girl's somewhat thin shoulders, and softly comforted her.

After a while, the girl's crying stopped slowly. There were two conspicuous tear stains on her originally fair face, and the red and swollen eye sockets matched with the eyelids that still had two teardrops. pity.

He also took a tissue at the right time and personally wiped off the tears on the senior sister's face.

"Tell me, why do you suddenly cry like I'm going to die?" He asked with a smile on his lips while wiping away the tears.

"I...I don't know..."

The girl was still sobbing a little, but she seemed to have calmed down. There was still some doubt in her big wet eyes, and she looked up at him with her small head in his arms:

"Just now...suddenly felt very happy, this feeling of happiness...appeared on me...it didn't feel like reality...then...then the tears couldn't stop..."

The meaning of the girl's words was a bit messy, but it made the tip of Nakano Shinsuke, a man who was always as firm as iron in body and mind, feel a little sore at the tip of his nose.

"Idiot, what we said just now is worth your tears..." He raised his cheeks and said, looking at the ceiling.

"It's...that's..."

The girl squeezed into his arms again, she seemed to be more courageous than usual, and she no longer stammered: "I just feel that my mother can do easy work every day, and don't have to worry about the debt at home, and then... With someone other than mother caring about Qingxia, I suddenly feel...so happy..."

When the girl in his arms spoke, because her small face was pressed against his chest, it sounded a bit muffled.

In the gentle and soft voice, there seemed to be infinite firmness.

Nakano Mayu felt that his waist was also tightly embraced by the girl.

Although the force didn't feel great to him, it might be the maximum force that the always weak senior could use...

"Sister..."

"Ok?"

"You're such an idiot..."

"Oh... really... Mayu too..."

Chapter 280 Invited

Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

In a somewhat luxurious single-family villa, Yamada Jiro is sitting leisurely at a large rectangular dining table having lunch...

From time to time, a middle-aged maid will bring new dishes and remove the empty plates.

At the head of the dining table was a young man in a suit, who was somewhat similar to him, and was chewing slowly at the dishes in front of him...

Opposite him is a beautiful young girl, who is wearing a light blue dress at this time, eating in an orderly manner, with the unique vitality of a young girl in her elegant posture.

"Ayase-chan, do you still have the habit of living at home these days?"

Taro Yamada, who was on the main seat, seemed to have finished eating, and was taking the towel from the servant beside him to wipe his palms.

"Cousin Taiying, thanks for your hospitality, I've been enjoying my stay these few days..." Yuyin Ayase put down the fork in her hand, nodded and smiled and replied.

"That's good, just treat this place as your own home, and if you need anything, you can tell the servant directly..."

Yamada Taro stood up and looked at his younger brother with a smile, and said, "Father and uncle still have a gathering of some politicians, and they should come back very late. I also have some work matters to deal with. You can take care of them today." If there is any place you want to go, you can ask your cousin Jiro to accompany you..."

"Well, cousin Taiying, you can go to work, don't worry about me..."

"Jiro, remember to take good care of your cousin..."

After the young man finished speaking, he nodded to the two and walked out, quickly disappearing from their sight.

"Hey... Ayase-chan..."

Seeing that his elder brother had gone out, Yamada Jiro relaxed like a monkey whose seal had been lifted.

"Huh? What's the matter, Cousin Jiro?"
