Kotono sat at the table, looking at the busy figure in the kitchen in a daze, I thought he would order, but I didn't expect to make it myself. There was a faint smell of food, and she closed her eyes and plunged into darkness, as if she had returned to last night.

The head of the house called again last night. To her surprise, the head of the family did not ask her what information she had obtained, but asked her what she thought of Li Su.

She thought for a moment and replied calmly: "It's a good feeling, but it's too contrived." ”

Inuyamaga looked very surprised and asked her what had happened, and she told the head of the house about the chess game of the past two days, and the head of the house smiled and said Aren't all young people like this? Always want to elevate himself in front of the girl he likes, like a male peacock who sells his feathers in front of a female peacock, one by one looks proud and arrogant, no one in his eyes, but only the girl in front of him, his heart beats wildly as if he wants to jump out of his chest.

Is that so? Kotono began to recall the past two days with Li Su, and felt that the head of the family seemed to have missed something. She could indeed see liking in Li Su's eyes, but there were many other things besides liking.

Suddenly, Inuyama He threw out a bombshell: "Kotono, if you like him, you can also dating." ”

"What about the chief's orders?" Kotono was stunned for a moment, trying to make herself appear calmer, but the trembling tail note revealed her heart.

"I've already thought about the written explanation, 'Li Su is currently a mystery in his life, refuses to communicate with others in the academy, and at the same time does not find that he has an entanglement with Ange, and there is value in wooing.' The patriarch must agree, right? After all, although our 'young master' has achieved great results in the Executive Board, he is 'incompatible with Japan', and those veteran guys will not easily support him. Although those new bloods are supporting the young master, the support of one more man who has slain the dragon will be completely different, right? If you really get along, be sure to let him in. Inuyama made a little joke.

"What about the other reasons?" Kotono asked.

"You also know how powerful our young master is." Inuyama paused, and there was more respect in his voice. "He's a man like a dragon, and when he becomes the head of the family, he can resist a lot of responsibilities even if he can't completely destroy the ghosts, right? Now that heroes have stepped forward, your generation can live a little easier. ”

Kotono was silent for a moment: "I still remember when you first gave me your surname, 'The flowers of the Inuyama family are as hard and sharp as steel. ’”

"You are the flowers of the Inuyama family, but you are also my daughter, and there is a father who doesn't want his daughter to have a better life?" Inuyama hung up the phone after speaking.

————————————

Li Su was busy in the kitchen. He first stirred the chopped pork belly and peppercorns, beat an egg, stirred it, added starch, and set it aside to marinate.

Then the leeks began to be cut, and the emerald green leeks became an even fine mince under the kitchen knife, and the emerald green was lovely.

In fact, Li Su has never been able to understand how the dark cuisine in various film and television works came about, and when he first stir-fried the food, it was only a little less salt, and the taste was a little light.

In fact, if you don't know how to choose vegetables, it's understandable that some yellow leaves are fried together, but what is the situation when it is fried and it is a plate of black? It's not that TM has no talent, it's blind!

The sound of the porcelain plate and the table top colliding interrupted Kotono's fugue, and when she came back to her senses, she found that the dishes had been served, and the fragrance was overflowing.

"Crispy pork in sour soup, scrambled eggs with leeks and noriel egg drop soup. I thought it would be done tomorrow, so the material was not enough and it was not rich, so I'm really sorry. ”

Li Su opened the rice cooker as she spoke, added a bowl of rice in one hand and a rice spoon in the other, and put a bowl of rice in front of her, Qin Nai grabbed the chopsticks and folded her hands: "I'm moving." Then he reached out and took a piece of crispy meat and put it in his mouth.

The taste is unexpectedly good, this good cooking skill and Li Su's calm appearance really don't match. Although it is not as noble and elegant as college ordering, the unique warmth of home-cooked food is like a trace of honey melted into the heart, relaxed and comfortable.

After a good meal, Kotono relaxed a lot, and she put her chopsticks across the rice bowl, "I'm full." ”

Li Su also put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. "Thank you for teaching you all week." He crumpled up the tissue and threw it in the trash.

"On the first day, I was observed to have any bad thoughts and evaluate my 'Dao Heart', on the second day, I was taught the basic rules of Go, on the third day, I was taught that the way of Go lies in 'creation', and on the fourth day, I was taught that Go does not need to be connected from the beginning. You are a very good teacher. ”

"That's because your talent is also very high, and you don't get tired of teaching." Kotono stretched.

"Now I want to ask, is it 'Kotono' or 'Inuyama Kotono' sitting here?" Li Su suddenly sat up straight.

"What's the difference?" Kotono also sat up straight, her hands propped up on the table and her chin propped up, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Absolutely." Li Su had a serious face. "If it's Inuyama Kotono, then she didn't come here entirely out of her own volition, I'll send her away politely after a few words of greeting, and if it's Kotono, I'll say something else."

"The other means that you want to be beastly on the spot? Don't you dare? Anyway," Kotono glanced at him, "It's Kotono." ”

"So, I like you, can you be my girlfriend?"

"You're really direct, aren't you afraid to scare me away?" Having said that, Kotono's expression was calm.

"We've all been playing chess for a week, and you're still saying that?"

"It's still very straightforward." Kotono sighed. "There is talent, so why can't you learn what I taught you on the fifth day?"

"I said, that's my choice. On the fifth day, you want to teach me that 'the great dragon is not the only way to win', and I should decisively abandon the great dragon to seize the big field. But," Li Su also sighed. "I still don't want to give them up."

"Do you want to use 'I will guard even my chess pieces' to gain women's favor? Really scheming. Kotono gave him a blank look.

"No, I'm actually showing you myself." Li Su said leisurely.

"I show my 'Tao' through Go, my concentration through studying, my ideas through communication, my taste through tea and snacks, my specialty through cooking, and my dorm room to show my... Life. ”

Hearing the last sentence, Kotono subconsciously looked around, the navy blue bed was clean and tidy, and there was no clutter on the desk, except for a laptop, a stack of books, and an iron-black ball. The curtains are sky blue, a pair of iron rulers and school uniform jackets hang on the wall, the floor is clean and tidy, and the trash can is small, about half full.

A clean and tidy room.

"You're having a good life." Kotono exclaimed.

"Brother Fingal's advice to 'chasing girls' is, 'Be sure to do whatever she wants, and dress yourself up as she likes best.'" But I thought about it and didn't do it, because I felt that this relationship was actually built on a false basis and required a lot of effort from one party to maintain. In the end, I decided to show my true side, even if it was possible to be rejected. However, I want my girlfriend to like the real me. So, such a me...... Do you like it? Li Su looked at Qin Nai with some hope in his eyes.

"Who knows if what you say and do is the same? Didn't you just pack it up in a hurry last night? Kotono pursed her lips.

"I can't prove it." Li Su spread his hands.

"No, there is a way, can't I just come and see more in the future?" Kotono smiled, and her smile was as warm as the March sun.

"So...... Do you agree? Li Su thought for a moment and cautiously verified.

"Hmm."

"That's good." Li Su got up.

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you really want to be beastial?! Seeing Li Su suddenly stand up, Qin Nai clasped his hands to his chest and shouted loudly.

Li Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what she meant, and couldn't help but laugh with a smile on her face, "I'm going to wash the dishes!" ”

“...... Oh. ”

The atmosphere was suddenly very awkward, Li Su sighed and stacked the empty bowls together, and only the sound of porcelain bowls colliding could be heard in the quiet dormitory.

As soon as he put the bowl in the sink, he saw Kotono follow the kitchen, "I'll wash it." ”

Li Su was stunned and smiled happily, "Okay." ”

"yes, smile a lot. What's a day with a rigid face? Kotono reached out and pinched his face, a little hard, a little warm.

"Hmm."

Qin Nai took off the scouring pad that was put aside, and suddenly spoke: "Anyway, since you have confessed, classmate Li Su, where are you going to take your girlfriend on a date tomorrow?" ”

"Uh...... I didn't think about it, I have no experience in getting a girlfriend for the first time......" Li Su scratched his head a little distressed, should he go to the top of the mountain? But I haven't bought a car yet, and I can't go...... Going to the library? It's not a girlfriend, it's a schoolmate, hey! Going to Amber Pavilion? This is...... Bringing your girlfriend to meet your big brother? Going to church? It's too early......

Li Su was puzzled, and suddenly a sentence flashed through his mind, and he blurted out that he couldn't stop it: "How about participating in the welcome ceremony of the investigation team together?" ”

After saying that, he wanted to suck his mouth, damn me, I'm not a psychopath! How can you say that! Wow, I relied on the girlfriend who I finally found to be sincere, and I'm going to run away, I'm born with an extra chromosome, I'm sorry!

"That...... No...... I mean......"

Li Su was about to stammer and explain, but Kotono had already bent over with a smile. After a long time, she finally calmed down, wiped the tears from her laughter, and replied with a smile, "Okay." ”

Forehead...... So, the first date in my life was at the welcome ceremony of the investigation team? Li Su suddenly wanted to open the drawer to find the time machine.
