My second life is a bit strange?

After searching for a while, Feng found a cookie box. He washed it, put some of the meat filling in, grabbed a thick stack of cheese and stuffed it in, then wrapped the cheese with the remaining meat filling, pressed the meat patty firmly, and brushed oil on the electric griddle.

After preheating for a while, place the meat patties on the heat and cook them on both sides until they are completely browned.

Once it's cooked, cover it with five slices of cheese. With a ding, the bread in the oven is done. Cut it in half with a knife, place it on an electric griddle, and bake the inside until golden brown.

Tomatoes, lettuce, sweet onions; "I forgot we didn't have any pickles at home."

Feng had a row of heads, and he didn't know what to use to replace them.

"No way! A burger without pickles is soulless."

"Eating won't shut you up." Feng made a sauce with mayonnaise, yellow mustard, and ketchup, spread it evenly on the bread, and placed the hamburger on the coffee table.

Wow, this burger is huge!

Chapter 71 The Place Where the Heart Belongs

Xiao Gui exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the burger, which was almost the size of a pizza: "Can we eat it now? Can we eat it now?!"

She couldn't wait any longer; her mouth was watering uncontrollably, and her stomach was rumbling loudly.

"Wait a little longer."

Feng mixed flour and cornstarch in a 1:1 ratio, added some chili powder, pepper, and salt, cracked two eggs and set them aside, coated the prepared fish with the flour mixture, dipped it in the egg mixture, coated it again with the flour mixture, and then fried it in oil.

Fry until golden brown and crispy, then set aside and deep-fry.

French fries or mashed potatoes?

"Only children make choices; of course I choose to have them all."

Feng smiled and tapped her nose, leaving a white mark: "Go to the convenience store in the neighborhood and buy a bottle of Coke."

"Okay!" Xiao Gui ran downstairs excitedly.

"He's such a child who never grew up."

Quickly slice the potatoes and put them in a steamer. While they're steaming, take out a few more potatoes and cut them into large strips.

Sprinkle olive oil on the garlic, rub it in and mix well. Cut open the garlic cloves, wrap them in aluminum foil, add a little more olive oil, put them all together, and throw them into the oven.

Bake for a while, then flip it over. By the time it's almost done, Xiao Gui is back.

"Why did it take you so long to buy a Coke?" Feng looked up at her and saw that she was carrying bags of snacks. "I ran out of snacks at home, so I bought some more. Otherwise, it would be so boring to watch TV without anything to eat."

"Aren't you afraid of gaining weight from eating all this?"

"These don't even have as many calories as the meal you made."

"..." Feng was speechless for a moment, which was true.

Once everything was prepared and laid out on the coffee table, Yu Xing emerged from his room, still wearing a nightcap and looking drowsy. Seeing the sumptuous lunch on the table, he stared in shock, his eyes widening: "Whose takeout is this?"

"Idiot, we made this ourselves."

"Wait for me!" Yu Xing rushed off to wash up.

Xiao Gui took a picture with her phone to remember the occasion.

Then, satisfied, he turned off his phone and tossed it aside, rubbed his hands together, picked up a piece of fried fish, and dipped it in a special sauce made from a mixture of yellow mustard and spicy chicken noodle sauce.

One bite and you're greeted with sweetness and a crispy texture, followed by the fresh sweetness of the fish and the spiciness masked by the spicy chicken noodle sauce.

Xiao Gui's eyes lit up: "Delicious!"

He scooped up another large spoonful of mashed potatoes, topped with a sauce made of pepper, oyster sauce, cornstarch, and milk: "So delicious! It's practically the same as McDonald's!"

Feng also took a bite, and thought it was pretty good. He leisurely changed the channel and found a movie to watch. He drew the curtains to set the mood, and a light rain started to fall outside. It couldn't be more pleasant.

The three people sat around the coffee table and used a knife to cut the hamburger into six pieces.

"It's like eating a thick pizza." Xiao Gui opened her mouth wide with difficulty, took a bite, and the juices burst in her mouth, dribbling out from the corner of her mouth without her noticing.

The rich cheese flavor is amazing!

"The cucumber you wanted." There were no pickled cucumbers at home, but Xiao Gui insisted on eating them, so he had to make a hand-held cucumber dish.

The tangy and spicy flavor is just right to cut through the richness; a bite of burger followed by a sip of cola, pure bliss.

..

Kaguya knelt on the bed, her face flushed. She had been in this position since she woke up. She seemed to vaguely remember... what happened yesterday...

Did I say something inappropriate?

She didn't know how she was going to face Feng in the future.

[So embarrassing!! But I felt much better after saying it. What's Feng thinking? Why didn't he reply? Is this a way of indirectly rejecting me?]

"Young Miss, it's time for lunch," Hayasaka said, standing to the side.

"Okay." After Hayasaka left, Kaguya quickly sent a message to Kaede on her phone: "Can you come out after the weather clears up?"

"Ok."

Kaguya secretly cheered herself up, determined to take this opportunity to make things clear. There were so many outstanding girls around him; she had to make the first move.

Continuing to be weak like this will not lead to anything.

She bent down and teased the cat in her arms: "Big White, do you think there's a future for him and me?"

Meow~ (I'm hungry.)

"You think I can do it too? You're so sweet~" Kaguya happily patted him, feeling a bit more confident.

Big White: "?"

..

Perhaps it was Kaguya's prayer in her heart, but the weather cleared up briefly, and Kaede arrived at the agreed-upon place as promised.

Standing under the streetlights, waiting for Kaguya's arrival, his good looks and charisma attracted many girls to come and chat him up, but he rejected them all.

"Sorry I'm a little late." Kaguya jogged over, tidying her hair with her hands, her eyes slightly evasive.

"I just arrived too, let's go."

Feng gentlemanly handed over a handkerchief, and the two walked together to the station, boarded a green bus, and waited in the back seats for the bus to start.

The two remained silent, creating an awkward atmosphere.

After waiting for a while, the driver saw that no one was around, started the car, took out his favorite cassette tape from the drawer, and put it into the old machine.

Accompanied by melodious and cheerful music, we drove towards the suburbs.

The destination was a dilapidated bus stop, with only a sign and a shelter standing there. Vines climbed all over the shelter, making it both lonely and full of life.

Feng opened his arms and took a deep breath. The clear air filled his lungs, and he felt much more refreshed.

"Let's go, there's still a long way to go."

Feng followed behind without asking any questions, implying that he knew what was about to happen.

Although the rain had stopped, the wind continued to blow in gusts from all directions, and his thoughts drifted far, far away with the wind.

They walked along the road until they came to a sea of ​​flowers. The flowers blooming here were not rare or precious, but just common wildflowers, such as chrysanthemums.

Strangely, many parts of this sea of ​​flowers have collapsed.

Was it caused by yesterday's typhoon?

As Feng thought to himself, further in came rows of maple trees, their leaves already completely red, the mountains and plains ablaze with red leaves, making the entire plain look as if it had been set ablaze.

Many maple leaves were blown down by the strong wind and spread on the ground.

Feng picked up a leaf at random. The leaf had a hole in it, and through the hole he could see the whole autumn, as well as the girl who stood there with a smile on her face, watching him.

Kaguya looked at the young man and took out a slightly creased love letter from her pocket. She knew she was full of darkness, but she still wanted to give him all her sunshine.

From the moment we met, my heart no longer belonged to me.

"Feng, I have something I want to tell you..."

Chapter Seventy-Two: Contact of Souls

"I like you."

Last night she thought of many things to say to express her feelings, but when the words came to her lips, they turned into these four simple words.

Feng's heart seemed to skip a beat, and the maple leaf in her hand was blown away by the wind, disappearing into the clouds. Immediately afterward, her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

"And you?" Kaguya mustered her courage, walked to his side, her adrenaline surged, and her body trembled slightly.

Feng felt his lips were very dry. He recalled the scenes of his time with those girls. Originally, they were all of similar importance, but at this moment, the scales were tipping in favor of Kaguya.

"I want to entrust the rest of my life to you, is that alright?"

Looking into her determined eyes, Feng didn't want to think anymore: "Please guide me."

Kaguya's eyes widened, overwhelmed with joy, and she became unusually irrational, rushing over to hug Kaede tightly.

The two of them collapsed in the sea of ​​flowers, crushing a patch of blossoms.

Kaguya wrapped her arms around his neck, and their lips met.

They kissed quietly, not wanting to think about anything, even though their clothes were wet and bugs were crawling around them.

At that moment, they felt each other's souls, time seemed to slow down, and the two, kissing for the first time, appeared somewhat clumsy.

Reluctantly parting, they breathed heavily. They hadn't yet learned to breathe through their noses while kissing. Looking at Kaguya, who was nestled in their arms, propping her head up and gazing at them, water droplets dampened her bangs and stuck to her forehead. Her unfocused eyes made her look somewhat disheveled.

They felt each other's hot breaths. Kaede liked this awkwardness and it was the first time he had experienced the beauty of kissing. He even wondered if Kaguya would faint if they continued kissing.

But Kaguya took the initiative to kiss him, and this time she seemed much more skilled. Their body scents were mixed with the fragrance of flowers and the smell of earth.

The howling wind could not extinguish their enthusiasm.

……

The two gradually calmed down, reason prevailed again, and they rediscovered themselves.

They stood up and straightened their clothes, both covered in mud, but neither of them cared. Holding hands, they waited for the bus, with Kaguya leaning on Kaede's arm.

It was the same old green bus, the same driver, the same music, and they sat in the same seats. The difference was that they were holding hands and leaning on each other.
