Chapter 59: Cake
Hinata Nanami only felt that he had slept very sweetly.
It wasn't until the red sunset shone on his face that he slowly woke up from his sleep.
And the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Natsuki's side face.
"You're awake." Natsuki lowered his head and smiled.
"Yes, wake up." Hinata Nanami's face flushed slightly, and then he realized that he had been sleeping on Natsuki's lap.
So he quickly turned over and sat up.
After sleeping comfortably, she had recovered a lot of physical strength, but as soon as she sat up, there was a gurgling sound in her stomach.
Suddenly, Hinata Nanami's face turned even redder.
"Hungry? Speaking of which, you haven't eaten anything since yesterday, have you? Natsuki said very considerately without looking at Hinata Nanami's flushed face.
"Yes." Hinata Nanami replied in a low voice with her head down.
"I'm a little hungry too, do you mind if you lend me the kitchen?" Natsuki rubbed his stomach and said with a smile.
"Of course you can, but what does Xia Shujun want to do?" Hinata Nanami said curiously.
Hinata Nanami can already naturally call Natsuki-kun, obviously unconsciously, Natsuki has occupied a very important position in the heart of Hinata Nanami.
"Of course, it's cooking! It's your birthday, so I'll show you my craft. Natsuki stood up and said with a smile.
"Huh? Does Natsuki-kun want to make food? But isn't that right? Although Hinata Nanami's face showed an expectant look, she still felt that it was not good.
After all, in Japan, the remnants of the idea of male superiority and inferiority are still very serious, and letting a boy go to the kitchen, not to mention that Natsuki is still a guest, is really a bit embarrassing for Hinata Nanami, but she is really curious about Natsuki's cuisine.
"Okay, you're welcome, it's your birthday! So you just have to be happy. Natsuki said and walked straight to the kitchen at the back of the shrine.
Leaving Hinata Nanami alone, still wrapped in a quilt, sitting under the eaves in front of his room, watching the back of Natsuki walking towards the kitchen, the sunset sprinkled on his body, warm and comfortable.
"By the way, I also ordered a cake, it should be delivered in a while, you remember to take it." Natsuki's voice came from afar.
"Huh? Do you have a cake too? Xia Shujun is really, this is too expensive. Although Hinata Nanami said this, he couldn't help but smile on his face.
Soon, there were sounds of pots and bowls colliding and chopping vegetables in the kitchen, and after a while, the aroma of dishes wafted out of the kitchen, Hinata Nanami raised his head slightly and sniffed, and suddenly felt that he was even more hungry.
So, Hinata Nanami decided to go and investigate.
"Xia Shujun, what are you doing?" Nanami Hinata, wrapped in a quilt and like a ball, came to the door of the kitchen and quietly looked into the kitchen.
Usually this is her domain, but now she is full of curiosity as if she has discovered a new continent in this familiar place.
"Nothing, just made something random with ready-made ingredients, shredded pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and then burned an eggplant." Natsuki said lightly.
"Is it all Chinese? Does Natsuki-kun know Chinese food? Hinata Nanami's eyes were even more surprised.
"Of course, I was adopted in China." Natsuki explained.
"Huh? I see! I'm sorry. Hinata Nanami apologized immediately until Natsuki's background.
"It's okay, it's been a long time ago! And compared to that, I think you should go and pick up the cake now, and the person who delivered the cake seems to have arrived. While Natsuki was speaking, there was already the sound of someone's footsteps in the square in front of the shrine, and the sound was very slight, but Natsuki still heard it.
And Hinata Nanami only noticed it under Natsuki's reminder.
"Ah, is it already here? I'm in the past. Hinata Nanami hurriedly wrapped himself in a quilt and was about to rush over.
"Hey, wait a minute, you're wrapped in a quilt." Natsuki reminded.
"Ah, it's over, I forgot, let's put the quilt here first." Hinata Nanami said, simply let the quilt on his body fall to the ground, and after tidying up his clothes, he rushed towards the shrine.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" The person who delivered the cake greeted softly.
"It's coming, it's coming." The next moment, the staff who delivered the cake saw a shrine maiden wearing a shrine maiden costume, and rushed out a little recklessly.
To tell the truth, with Hinata Nanami's usual steadiness, I can see her such a reckless side, this little brother who delivers food is definitely making a lot of money.
In this way, Hinata Nanami got the cake that was ordered, and Natsuki quickly made a few simple dishes.
So in the room of Hinata Nanami in the side hall, on a small table, a simple birthday party began.
There are only four simple dishes on the table, except for a cake, and it is a birthday party for only two people, Hinata Nanami and Natsuki sit opposite each other, and Natsuki has a candle on the cake.
Hinata Nanami watched Natsuki light the candle, and his face was smiling, but he showed a sad look.
"What's wrong?" Natsuki after lighting the candle and looking at Nanami Hinata.
"It's nothing, but I didn't expect that in addition to Lord Yubai, there will be someone to celebrate my birthday and light candles for me." Hinata Nanami smiled, but there was a faint mist in his eyes.
"Well, don't think about it so much! It's your birthday, be happy! Come and make a wish! Natsuki stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Well, I understand, then I'll blow out the candles." Hinata Nanami's face showed a big smile, but the mist in his eyes could no longer be left in his eyes because of that smile, and he slipped down the corner of his eyes.
In this way, Nanami Hinata, who was laughing and tearful, puffed out all the candles on the birthday cake in one breath with her cheeks.
"Well, the gift has been given to you before, and now I want to say that I wish you a happy birthday." Natsuki said.
"Well, thank you, thank you Xia Shujun." Hinata Nanami had a wood carving given to her by Natsuki next to her, and her hand was still caressing the wood carving, looking happy, and at the same time wiping away the tears on her face with her other hand.
"Alright, let's eat! How about trying my hand. Natsuki invited.
"Well, I can't wait." Hinata Nanami folded his hands and said, "I'm moving." ”
And just like that, the two of them began to eat.
"It's delicious! Xia Shujun, your craftsmanship is amazing. ”
"Oh my God, Natsuki-kun, are you a professional chef? It's even better than I've ever eaten at a Chinese restaurant. ”
"Great, please add me a bowl of rice."
Hinata Nanami was eating and drinking like this, and Hinata Nanami, who had been hungry for a day and a night, finally regained his appetite at this time, but when he was eating delicious dishes, Hinata Nanami's eyes couldn't stop tears gushing out.
"Yubai-sama also likes to eat Chinese food the most, and it would be great if Yubai-sama could eat it together!"
Obviously, before falling asleep during the day, he had already cried a lot, but now Hinata Nanami still can't control his tear ducts from time to time.
