Although she was satisfied with the approach, it also made her doubt her own charm.
Yuta Kijima instantly squeezed his legs together, glaring at her angrily: "That look you're giving me, senpai, is really rude."
"Besides, you should be glad I'm a decent person!"
"stare--"
Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly, and after a long while, leaned back on the sofa, revealing her fair neck. "Hey~ By the way, junior, you'd better behave yourself when you meet my parents later..."
"Of course you don't need to tell me that, senior."
Yuta Kijima retorted.
……
It's 6:30 p.m.
Yuta Kijima had already prepared all the ingredients. He glanced at his watch and saw that there was still half an hour until the agreed time.
He called out towards the kitchen entrance, "Senior, you can let Yukinoshita-san know they're coming over."
Not hearing a response from Kasumigaoka Utaha, just as Kijima Yuta assumed that his senior was asleep on the sofa, he suddenly sensed a figure walking into the kitchen.
Turning his head, he saw his senior, who had already changed into her own clothes. Kijima Yuta asked, "Did you inform Yukinoshita-san, senior?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha waved her phone in her hand: "I've been notified."
In fact, Yukino Yukinoshita had already finished school, but she went back to her room to prepare because she wanted to meet Kasumigaoka Utaha's parents.
As the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family, no matter how much she disliked this identity, she still had to maintain proper etiquette when she was out in public.
"Is there anything I can help you with, junior?" Kasumigaoka Utaha gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her fair earlobe.
Yuta Kijima looked at his senior and shook his head: "Senior, you've only just recovered from your illness, you should rest well."
He was very worried about his senior's health because he got caught in the rain yesterday and was depleted of energy and blood today.
Sensing the concern in Kijima Yuta's tone, Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and said lazily, "By the way, junior, don't you have a feeling?"
"Feeling? What feeling?" Kijima Yuta asked casually as he heated oil in a wok.
"It's like we've known each other for a long time and are now preparing to meet each other's parents..." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a soft smile.
"..."
The kitchen seemed to be on pause, with only the sizzling oil in the pan reminding the two that time hadn't stopped.
Yuta Kijima turned to look at his senior blankly and said, word by word, "Senior, if you really have nothing to do, go play with Panda. Don't stay here and disturb my cooking..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha winked playfully, then turned and left behind a lingering fragrance.
"call……"
Yuta Kijima gritted his teeth and said, "Has this guy still not given up on the idea of sharing an apartment?"
He started adding the seasonings.
I was thinking that it would be over once my senior's father arrived.
From last night's conversation, he could tell that his senior's father would never agree to her idea of sharing an apartment, and besides, he himself didn't have that idea either.
All of this destined the senior's fantasy to remain just that—fantasy.
With that thought in mind, his cooking movements became a little lighter.
"Kijima-kun..."
Suddenly, a clear and calm voice rang out.
Yuta Kijima looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes lit up immediately.
Yukino Yukinoshita has changed out of her usual school uniform and into a casual red long coat and black trousers, making her look much gentler.
Yukino Yukinoshita noticed his gaze, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks. "What? Do you look strange?"
Yuta Kijima shook his head. "No, or rather, Yukinoshita looks gentler in this outfit, unlike before when she was unapproachable."
"Tsk... Junior is indeed an incurable person who gets bored easily..."
Just then, a disdainful voice suddenly came from behind Yukino Yukinoshita.
Kasumigaoka Utaha walked out with her arms crossed and biting her lip.
No girl wants to see a boy's attention being focused on another girl, and Kasumigaoka Utaha is no exception.
She glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, who had completely transformed into two different styles, with a complicated expression, and then at Yuta Kijima, whose attention had just been drawn to her.
A strange sense of annoyance rose in my heart.
"Senior... could you please not say things that could be so misunderstood?" Kijima Yuta looked at her speechlessly.
He just glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, why do you seem a little angry? Is it really necessary to be like this?
They were the ones who helped take care of you yesterday, after all...
"Um..." Yukino Yukinoshita felt very awkward being sandwiched between the two. She had originally thought that she was a good cook and wanted to come and help out.
Unexpectedly, I've offended this pair whose relationship is unclear again.
Kasumigaoka Utaha found a chair in the restaurant, crossed one arm over her chest, left leg over right, and squinted her eyes slightly. She said in a teasing voice, "Sometimes, seeing all the girls around my juniors, even I get a headache..."
Her left leg began to swing up and down.
Yukino Yukinoshita immediately interrupted the increasingly strange situation, "Wait! I just wanted to see if Kijima-kun needed any help."
"Kasumigaoka-san, please don't misunderstand!"
"..."X2
Yuta Kijima looked at his senior with a helpless expression.
Look at you, you keep causing trouble every day, even forcing Yukinoshita to distance herself from you.
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked completely innocent. She was just being sarcastic out of habit; how could she have known that Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts were so complicated...
As for Kasumigaoka Utaha's true inner thoughts, only she herself knows.
Chapter 229 No comparison, no harm
Yuta Kijima knew that this was just an unintentional act by his senior, and he smiled at Yukino Yukinoshita: "I'm all ready, Yukinoshita-san, just wait patiently."
"Ding dong..."
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was about to explain her cooking skills again, the doorbell of Yuta Kijima's house suddenly rang.
After a brief exchange of glances, the three of them...
Yuta Kijima: "Senior, then I'll trouble you to go and greet the uncles and aunts. I really can't leave here."
Kasumigaoka Utaha knew this wasn't the time for teasing, so she nodded and went to open the door.
Yuta Kijima then looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Then I'll trouble you, Yukinoshita-san, to help me receive my senior's parents. Don't worry, they... are very nice people."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yuta Kijima speechlessly. She hadn't forgotten the "Metropolitan Police Department warning" from last night. Now you're saying this to my face.
But she nodded and walked into the living room.
Seeing this, Yuta Kijima took a deep breath. With Yukino Yukinoshita helping to take care of his senior's parents in the living room, he felt much more at ease.
He comes from a noble family, so his manners are definitely not on par with his.
……
After the door opens.
Before them stood a beautiful woman who bore a slight resemblance to Kasumigaoka Utaha and a middle-aged man with a somewhat cold and aloof expression.
"Mom... Good evening." Even though it had only been a day since they last met, Kasumigaoka Utaha still felt a little awkward when she opened the door and saw her parents.
"..."
The two people standing outside the door didn't speak, but Kasumigaoka Yumi went straight to Kasumigaoka Utaha and looked her up and down, occasionally reaching out to touch her stomach.
"Mom... what are you doing... this isn't our house." Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, rubbing her forehead. If Yukino Yukinoshita weren't in the house with her, she would have unleashed her sharp tongue.
"I wonder if I'll be able to hold my grandson tonight," Hiromi Kasumigaoka said with a smile.
Just as Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to lose her temper.
The middle-aged man accompanying Yumi Kasumigaoka spoke, and his deep, calming voice immediately stopped the two who were about to start arguing.
"Xiao Shi, where's your junior? He won't even come out to see us when we come to visit?" he said, barely suppressing his dissatisfaction.
"Anada~" Kasumigaoka Yumi hurriedly returned to his side and advised him to control his emotions.
The husband I chose is surprisingly old-fashioned in some ways.
“My junior brother…” Kasumigaoka Utaha was well aware of her father’s temperament, so she decided to speak.
Just as he was about to speak, a calm and elegant voice came from behind him, "Kijima-kun is not currently available to greet you both, I'm sorry."
Yukino Yukinoshita emerged from behind Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Please come in, both of you."
She stepped aside.
Yumi Kasumigaoka and Utaha's father were startled, looking at the girl who suddenly appeared with a completely different temperament from their daughter.
"You must be the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family who spoke with us last night," Shiyu's father coughed lightly and stepped forward politely.
"Just call me Yukinoshita, Uncle and Auntie," Yukinoshita Yukino said, straightening her posture.
The group entered the living room.
"I am truly grateful to Yukinoshita-san for what happened yesterday..." Shiyu's father said in a deep voice. Although this man usually seemed indifferent to his daughter, he was always worried about her.
Yukino Yukinoshita poured hot tea for the two of them with dignified movements, looking just like the true mistress of the house. Looking back at Kasumigaoka Utaha, who was leaning back on the sofa, Yumi Kasumigaoka couldn't help but sigh and rub her forehead.
"By the way, is that Kijima-kun in the kitchen right now?" she immediately changed the subject.
I didn't see Yuta Kijima's face after entering the room. I could only hear the sound of cooking in the kitchen. Although I wasn't quite sure, there shouldn't be anyone else inside.
Yukino Yukinoshita smiled and said, "That's right, even I am ashamed of my own cooking skills compared to Kijima-kun's..."
Yumi Kasumigaoka and Utaha's father exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Although times have changed, it is still rare to hear of men being better cooks than women in island nations.
