Naoki Natsume was already past twelve o'clock in the afternoon when he went home with a cutting board.

He hurriedly knocked on the door and entered the house, expecting Asai to wait for his cutting board at home, only to be greeted by a hearty lunch full of tables in the kitchen.

But there are no hot dry noodles, not even any noodles.

In some vegetable soups, he also saw crushed parsley floating there.

The food culture of both generations was Asian, so he couldn't eat parsley, a condiment in Mediterranean cuisine.

It's like some people can't get used to eating coriander.

Although he didn't get to that point, when he saw the parsley, he understood that a certain little maid cooking was in a mood.

Asai Mao understands his tastes better than he does, and knows exactly what he doesn't eat, what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like.

She knew she didn't like parsley.

It's like an angry girlfriend who doesn't cook, but instead of an angry girlfriend who deliberately makes dishes you don't like to eat.

The feeling that Asai gave Naoki Natsume, that's it-

Even if you have a girlfriend, you may not be so careful as her.

Originally, this kind of praise should be used to describe virtuous girls, but it is a pity that there are fewer and fewer such girls in this society.

Naoki Natsume wiped the sweat from his head and changed his shoes into the kitchen, placing the cutting board with the label still on the table.

"Looks like I didn't catch up."

When I opened the refrigerator to get a bottle of canned soda that had been chilled for a long time, I opened the refrigerator and was slapped on the face.

Asai stood by and looked him in the eye and tilted his head at the table.

Naoki Natsume noticed that two glasses of water had been poured on the table.

"You are not allowed to drink cold after running." She said.

"I thought you were at home in a hurry to get a cutting board."

"Then you should have come back sooner."

Oh no.

Naoki Natsume scratched his head.

That's not easy to answer.

He looked at the stove and began to change the subject: "How do you cut vegetables without a cutting board?" ”

"It's just cracked, but it can be used if you put it together carefully."

Asai wouldn't tell him that he had to control his strength because he was using a rotten cutting board, and he almost cut his fingers.

The maid never complains, either in life or emotionally.

She will only pay silently, and occasionally when the resentment accumulates to a certain extent, she will vent "little" to let you know that she is unhappy.

For example, the chopped parsley in the soup made Naoki Natsume feel uncomfortable for a while.

"Let's eat." She motioned for Naoki Natsume to sit down.

"You...... Nothing you want to ask? ”

After opening up on the road and realizing that the girl in the room with him was actually a girl of the same age, Naoki Natsume began to become a little reserved.

He imagined that there was a girl in front of him who was like Mio Izumi, and his heart beat faster when he thought about it, but he didn't notice that in his sight, Asai was still Asai, not a fantasy senior sister.

So who is the target at this moment?

Asai opened the iron plate that was fastened to the table and glanced at him, noticing that the way he looked at him was not the same as before.

But it's not obvious, so I can't see why for the time being.

"Eat first."

Asai filled him with a large bowl of vegetable soup, and as if on purpose, she used a spoon to make a circle on the surface of the soup as she scooped it, and half a spoonful of chopped parsley for each spoonful of soup.

"Well, I don't have a good appetite today," Naoki Natsume saw the bowl of soup handed to him, and his expression was obviously a little resistant: "I won't drink the soup." ”

Asai wasn't angry.

Or that I couldn't tell anything from her expression.

"Are you sure?"

Her breathtaking eyes made Natsume Naoki shiver.

You didn't eat the lunch I worked so hard to make, so can we talk about the thing you lied to me about last night?

He seemed to be able to read her heart from the eyes of Mao Asai.

"Last Night......

"Last night was an accident."

Naoki Natsume decided to confess, "I was going to sign up for a painting class, but after telling you, Aemiya Chizuru came to me and asked me if I was free the next day." ”

Hearing this, Asai raised his eyebrows: "You agreed?" ”

"It's okay anyway." Naoki Natsume said, "I still owe her a favor." ”

Asai sighed lightly: "If you used this casualness on Mio Izumi, you would have ...... long ago."

Don't you know that Mio Izumi's character has to take the initiative?

She wouldn't say no.

Now it's a good thing, things are starting to get complicated.

I almost won Mio Izumi, but this week's outing race made Chizuru Amamiya steal his home, and he can be caught up with half a lap ahead, what is the story of a tortoise and a rabbit race?

"I was negligent." Naoki Natsume looked at her and said sincerely, "I slept after I promised her last night, and I forgot to tell you about it." But you have to believe me, I definitely didn't mean to lie to you. ”

Asai was silent for a moment.

Then she nodded slightly.

"Well, I believe you."

A few short words swept away the discomfort in her heart from last night to noon today.

Naoki Natsume looked at her and suddenly his heart skipped a few beats.

Why does she always trust herself so unconditionally?

He couldn't figure it out, is there really a girl in the world who opens her heart so much for a contract and a sum of money?

Naoki Natsume felt an instant sense of pride at this moment.

That feeling is like the age of the second year of secondary school fantasizing that he is the redeemer, and the reason why he is ordinary is just not at that time. each

Teenagers have a day of pretentiousness.

And Naoki Natsume's day has long passed, in the previous life.

It was only now that he understood that the pretentiousness of the boy, who had long since passed, could be regained in another girl.

He didn't realize at the moment that this kind of relationship was actually love.

It was only after a long time that he remembered today's events and came to his senses, and it was too late to regret it.

In love, in the eyes of lovers, you are a unique destiny.

Love gives every ordinary person the right to become the sun in the eyes of others.

I used to fantasize about being recognized by the whole world, but in fact, as long as there is one person who is willing to affirm you unconditionally, it is no different from getting the whole world.

"In the morning, you went to the pet store."

Asai's words brought him back to reality, and Naoki Natsume nodded.

"What are you doing?"

That's what Asai really wants to ask.

You went on a date with Chizuru Amamiya without telling me, I felt uncomfortable, but I wouldn't be angry.

Since the day I came to Tokyo, I've been destined not to be angry at you for being half-hearted.

This is the punishment I deserve.

The sadness and jealousy brought by punishment are all part of the punishment.

I may lose my temper with you and speak coldly at you, but trust me, I'm not angry.

That's punishment, and a part of you has done everything I have, so I shouldn't be angry with you.

Can......

But I ......

But I'm also a girl, and I'm a person.

So I'm still angry.

But I'm not angry because of your half-heartedness.

It's because you put me behind her.

You promised me to pick out the pet first on the weekend, instead of going on a date first.

I thought I was going to be the first in your heart.

That's what you told me since I was a kid, and I'm happy, really happy.

Asai's eyes are calm.

No one can see how big the glacier is beneath the surface of the sea.

"I'm going to see the pets." Naoki Natsume confessed: "I said I wanted to have a cat. ”

"Well, I think it's good." Mao Asai won't say that she wants to raise it too.

But she will approve of you and let you know that you are comfortable to do it, and she will support it.

"Amamiya asked me to meet there at the time, and I didn't know there was a pet shop." Naoki Natsume organized the language and said, "When I saw the pet store, I thought about getting a cat, so I went in. ”

When Asai heard this, his ears moved.

It's cute, like a cat who hears that the owner of it likes is going to enter the door, and up its ears.

"Didn't she ask you to meet?" She asked, "You're not afraid of missing an appointment because you entered a pet store?" She didn't see you when she came, so she must have thought you were late. ”

Naoki Natsume was also straightforward: "I didn't think about it so much, I went in when I saw the pet store, and I forgot to make an appointment with her." ”

Asai suddenly felt that the sun outside the window was a little brighter.

She turned her head to look over, and could see through the kitchen a cloud outside that obscured the sun drifting away.

I knew that what you told me when I was a child was not a lie.

You say that even if you forget me one day, you must firmly believe that you are you.

You are still you without memory, your instincts, your subconscious will not change, yesterday's you and today's you together have made tomorrow's you.

Asai's heart ignites hope.

I participated in your yesterday and witnessed your today.

I believe that the day you remember yesterday is your tomorrow.

I also hope that you will still have me tomorrow.

"Well, let's eat."

This time, her tone changed back to her usual look.

But it's a little sweeter than usual.

"Ah...... I don't feel sick to my stomach, so I don't drink soup......"

"It's not crushed parsley." Asai gently stirred the soup bowl in front of him with a spoon, "It's crushed basil." ”

Crushed parsley is similar to crushed basil in that the former is sprinkled on top at the end of cooking in Western food to remove flavor, while the latter is more versatile and can be used directly in soups.

Naoki Natsume was stunned for a moment, and then took a tentative sip.

It doesn't have the strange taste of parsley, and the basil is mixed with the thick soup and is delicious.

It turned out that she didn't think about adding parsley from the beginning.
