The food I cook is not really a full-fledged Japanese food. After all, he was a Chinese in his previous life, and he was not spicy or happy, so when he cooked, he would naturally adjust it according to his own taste.

Naruko and I have adapted to some heavy flavors, but Tian Tian and Nene still prefer lighter food. That's why I have to think about balance every time I have a meal, so the salty and light meat buns are a must-have for every meal.

In addition, it is mapo tofu for all ages.

After buying the ingredients at the vegetable store, Naruko and I had just arrived home and put down our shopping bags when there was a knock at the door.

I put on my bib in the kitchen, tied the strap behind my back with my hands, and Naruko, who was about to help me wash the green onions, took the initiative to run out and open the door.

Looking at a cheerful girl with a ball-tied head standing outside the house, and another girl with black hair and shawl and pale eyes, she suddenly showed a bright smile: "Every day! Ningning! You're coming! ”

"Good evening, Naruko." Tian Tian lifted the pastry in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the gift I brought back with Ning Ning." ”

Hearing this, I poked my head out of the kitchen and wondered, "Is it a souvenir?" ”

Every day I bent down at the entrance, changed into slippers, heard my question, and replied loudly: "Brother Zhencheng, it's a peony cake!" ”

As soon as I heard this, I instructed, "Naruko, don't eat now, I'll have to eat later!" ”

"I know!" Naruko was a little nervous to open it and taste it, but when she heard me say this, she had to answer unconvinced, and obediently carried the pastry into the cupboard.

Ning Ning didn't speak. She just quietly finished changing her shoes, walked to the kitchen door, bowed slightly to me, and said politely, "Teacher Zhencheng, excuse me." Can you please help me? ”

"Ah," I knew a little bit of her temper, so I didn't say anything polite to her, and smiled at her while washing the green onions, "I'm sorry to mix the flour." ”

"Okay." Ning Ning nodded, rolled up her sleeves, and walked in.

She exposed two slender but not weak arms, and slowly removed the layers of bandages, gradually revealing fair but bruised skin - most of the Hinata's mastery is palm techniques, and it is impossible to practice without any scars.

Watching her carefully roll up the bandage and put it in the weapon bag around her waist, walk to the pool, turn on the faucet, and calmly clean her ten fingers, I couldn't help but sigh while cutting the green onions into even pieces.

During the Zhongnin exam, Ning Ci used Huitian that shocked the Zong family, so according to the timeline, Ning Ning should be practicing this mastery now.

I wanted to ask her how she was doing, but I was afraid that she would think I was over-controlling.

I wanted to ask her if it hurt and that I thought I would look very mother-in-law and nosy.

Aggrieved.

Ning Ning was very quiet. She first found a large black bowl suitable for kneading dough in the cupboard, held it in her arms, squatted down in silence, and then found a small box of flour from the kitchen cupboard. She scooped a few cups of flour, poured them into a large bowl, stood up, turned on the faucet, and picked up the water.

I looked at the whites of her eyes, the color of her fair skin, and the flour in the bowl, and for a moment, I didn't know which part was whiter.

"Don't force it too much......" I finally couldn't help but speak.

But as soon as the words came out, I regretted that I had said this to myself and simply stood and spoke without a backache - if I had been branded as a caged bird when I was three years old, and since then life and death were under the control of others, and my father had died because of it, I would have been motivated by hatred, and then someone suddenly said to me, don't force it, I would only think, "Who are you?" You know what a? Why are you saying such cool things here? ”

Ning Ning glanced at me, her expression didn't fluctuate too much, and her tone was as polite and flat as ever. "I didn't force it."

I really didn't know what she was thinking, and I felt more and more bottomless.

She began to mix flour with water, and Hinata's mastery can also come in handy at such times, reminding me of a kung fu movie I watched before, and the heroine also used Tai Chi to knead dough.

I chopped the green onions, put them in a bowl, poured some cooking wine and soy sauce into them, and began to cook the beef.

As I cut the beef into strips, I whispered, "I'm worried about you." ”

At this time, Naruko's exclamation came from the living room - the kitchen of my bachelor apartment is small, and it can only accommodate two people at most. And Tian Tian and Naruko, because their cooking skills are not qualified, so the task is to be responsible for cleaning up the table and washing the dishes after eating. Therefore, when Ning Ning and I were cooking, they picked up the cat in the living room.

While petting the cat, I could still hear Naruko curiously asking about all kinds of things outside, as well as the details of Tiantian's mission.

Her voice was high and loud, and it grabbed my attention at once. I subconsciously listened for a while, and couldn't help but laugh at some of Naruko's garbled words.

When I came back to my senses, I saw Ning Ning looking at me.

"What, what's wrong?" I suddenly felt an inexplicable embarrassment.

Ning Ning lowered her head again. "Nothing."

But this reaction immediately aroused my curiosity, and I couldn't stand it a little and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"......" Ning Ning hesitated for a moment before stopping his hand kneading his face, "Mr. Masumi, are you going to marry Naruko in the future?" ”

"Huh? Why do you suddenly ask this? ”

"Is there one? Or not? ”

“…… Nope. ”

Tie the knot...... To be honest, don't look at Naruko's clingy appearance, sometimes I don't even realize she's a girl. What to say...... She was more like an animal that I picked up and brought home, and I never cared for and fed her because I saw her as the opposite sex.

And although she said that she wanted to marry me, and I also said that I would marry her, I only thought it was a child's joke, and I never took it seriously.

"If not...... Nene paused, "Naruko has been living here, it's not suitable." ”

I vaguely understood what she wanted to say, to be honest, she wasn't the first to say this question, but I sighed and said, "Naruko has nowhere else to go." ”

I said, "This is her home." ”

Ning Ning's tone suddenly became a little cold: "There are not so many people in the family - can Teacher Zhencheng be anyone?" ”

"Anyone can say anything." I smiled helplessly, "For me, the only important people are Naruko, Tiantian, Sister Dou, and Ning Ning." ”

Hearing this, Ning Ning couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. "I ...... Is it also an important person? ”

"Of course." I wanted to touch her hair a little, but halfway through, I realized that my hands were full of beef slime, so I had to give up, and then complained as if it were true: "...... I don't like cooking that much. If it's someone I don't like, the second time I'll tell Tian Tian that I'm not allowed to bring anyone else over. ”

Ning Ning was quiet for a moment before he whispered: "If it's a guy you don't like, I won't go the second time......"

But the voice was so low that I couldn't hear the "Huh?" With a sigh, he wondered, "What did you say?" ”

"I said," Ning Ning paused, "if Naruko can stay because she doesn't have a home, can I do it too?" ”

Hearing this, I was slightly stunned, and took a closer look at her expression, trying to tell if she was joking or really thinking seriously. “…… I don't care. Really, though? ”

"......" Ning Ning pursed her lips tightly. Her fingers sank deep into the dough, showing her strength.

After a while, she turned her face away and whispered, "Of course not." ”
