Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Shigomi Hiyori.jpg

The Evil Little Arrogant slowly typed a question mark.

She thought Shirakawa Sawahei indeed intended to take her for authentic Chinese cuisine, but it seemed there was a bit of mischief in his intentions, which made Miss Kaori a bit wary.

She wasn’t worried that he would dare collude with the owner to open a dark shop and kidnap her. That’s quite an easy proposition to understand. If Shirakawa Sawahei were stupid enough to do that, he would never stand out among the average people to become an interesting guy in her eyes. Naturally, she wouldn’t have appeared with him here.

Miss Kaori thought for a moment, feeling this guy seemed pretty bold today, daring to mess with her. The saying of "three days without a beating, one overturns the roof" was no longer sufficient to describe Shirakawa Sawahei; it was more like the legendary behavior of diving under the enemy’s turret to die, so perplexing.

The two chatted casually before eating, and just as Hayakawa Kashi was pondering how Shirakawa Sawahei planned to prank her, Yuuki lifted the kitchen curtain and brought out a steaming dish...

The Little Arrogant looked at Shirakawa Sawahei with a blank expression...

Shirakawa Sawahei responded with a warm smile.

It was a dish of Sichuan-style boiled fish, with red, glossy oil droplets floating on the surface of the soup. The tender white fish exuded an alluring aroma, mixed with vibrantly colored chilies and lightly green bean sprouts, irresistibly appetizing...

Of course, the main audience here is those who can handle spicy food.

Shirakawa Sawahei had seen the system information and knew the Little Arrogant could eat spicy food, but he had never seen Hayakawa Kashi eat spicy food to the point her face turned red, completely ruining her image...

The first dish served, the boiled fish, naturally was a challenge to our Miss Kaori, to see how heavy her goddess burden actually was.

"Authentic Sichuan cuisine, won’t you try it, Hayakawa?"

Miss Kaori pursed her lips and said with a faint look, "Is Shirakawa challenging me?"

"I’m not, don’t overthink it."

He took the first bite, and the Little Arrogant followed by picking up chopsticks and gently placing a piece of fish in her mouth.

No doubt, Uncle’s skills had not diminished at all over the years... but seriously, is Miss Kaori pushing herself so hard? For the sake of pride, she’s even given up her goddess image?

Clearly, he had specially arranged a dish of twice-cooked pork for her later to cater to her identity as a girl...

A fish was eaten to almost nothing by the two, even most of the bean sprouts were gone, and the next dish of twice-cooked pork was left aside, not having much room in their stomachs to eat it. Miss Kaori’s forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and her lips, once cherry blossom tender and beautiful, had become lush and red due to the Sichuan dish, looking so plump and juicy that one might want to take a bite.

She drank all the ice water in front of her, hesitated for a while, and then took a sip from the glass Shirakawa Sawahei had pushed over earlier.

"I’m full."

Shirakawa Sawahei also put down his chopsticks. He had to admit, the portion of the Sichuan boiled fish made by Uncle was indeed huge, and even though he tried his best to finish it, some fish meat was still left.

"Although Shirakawa’s intention was a bit off, it was quite tasty," Hayakawa Kashi said while gently licking her lips. It was not a very elegant action, yet for her, it seemed both alluring and cute.

The phrase "face value is justice" was vividly epitomized in the Evil Little Arrogant.

Maybe feeling embarrassed from being watched by Shirakawa Sawahei, Miss Kaori took a wet wipe from her bag, wiping the soup from her mouth as she calmly said, "What are you looking at, Shirakawa?"

"Nothing."

"Is this the restaurant you used to frequent?"

"Yeah, not sure if it passes Hayakawa’s standards?"

"Not bad, it’s quite similar to what I’ve tasted in Huaxia before."

"Have you been to Huaxia?"

"Of course, I even climbed the Great Wall."

"Then I guess you didn’t go during the May Day or October holidays." Shirakawa Sawahei chuckled, "The saying ’He who has never been to the Great Wall is not a true man’ should have a time restriction added."

"I know, they say it’s packed with people at those times," the Little Arrogant raised her face, "so I took a leave to go."

"Freshman year?"

"Yes."

Shirakawa Sawahei exclaimed, "No wonder I hardly saw you in freshman year, turns out you were traveling the world."

"I hardly saw you in freshman year either."

"Maybe I was busy studying. That’s why I ranked higher than you."

"..."

"Heh heh."

He quietly stirred some rivalry, but the Little Arrogant Study Girl didn’t tear him apart on the spot. The two sat chatting for a while longer, presumably feeling more digested before they thought of settling the bill.

Uncle Sakura appeared, asking deeply, "How was it? Have my skills regressed?"

"Not at all, Uncle Sakura. You should open a Sichuan restaurant."

"I would love to, but in a place like Neon, keeping authentic Sichuan cuisine alive is challenging... Shirakawa, people who appreciate the deliciousness of Chinese cuisine like you are rare..."

Shirakawa Sawahei thought that it wasn’t about appreciating the food. It was just that he had been a Huaxia person in his past life and had tasted all eight major cuisines, so he could enjoy the dish thoroughly. If it were an average Neon person, they’d probably be scared away by the almost terrifying colors of Sichuan dishes.

"It’s been months since you last dined here... So, Shirakawa, mind introducing this young lady beside you?"

Uncle Sakura reminisced for a while and suddenly brought up Hayakawa Kashi, asking, "How did you two... meet?"

"What do you mean by how did we meet..." Shirakawa Sawahei was puzzled, "We’re classmates."

He vaguely felt as though he had forgotten something, but he couldn’t recall it for the moment. Uncle Sakura frowned and said, "Didn’t you tell me back then that you’d bring your girlfriend to support me in the future?"

"I gave you the biggest fish in the store to eat, don’t tell me this young lady isn’t your girlfriend?"

Shirakawa Sawahei: ???

Damn!

So that was it!

No wonder Uncle Sakura said, "Good...nice," when he first saw Hayakawa Kashi. He mistook her for my girlfriend!

This time, Shirakawa Sawahei was ruthlessly backstabbed by Uncle Sakura. He had completely forgotten about that agreement with Uncle. He must have just casually mentioned it while chatting back then, never expecting Uncler would take it so seriously...

He didn’t turn back to check Hayakawa Kashi’s expression. There was no need to, as he knew the Little Arrogant’s current expression was definitely a sarcastic smile, just waiting for him to turn around so she could deliver a line of statement with explosive destructive power...

Somehow, in Shirakawa Sawahei’s mind, there seemed to form an image of an anime character with black hair and red pupils. Her mocking, disdainful gaze, and the dark image gradually overlapped with the Little Arrogant Study Girl, delivering devilish whispers together.

"Shirakawa...is this how you want to express your affection for me?"

"How adorable..."
