The story begins in Food Wars, when Alice took him home.

Alice Nakiri blushed slightly as she said that she also wanted to stay, but Bai Yuan would definitely prefer her to grow up.

Therefore, the answer at this time must be based on his ideas.

Having lived with Bai Yuan for so long, she had long since figured him out. It could be said that she was the person who understood him best in the world!

"Great! But you still need to balance work and rest. You can't make progress by just training and participating in competitions all the time."

really.

Upon hearing her words, Bai Yuan's face lit up with joy.

"Alright then, I'll stay with you a little longer."

The strategy of feigning indifference to lure the prey was a great success.

Alice Nakiri thought to herself with a smug smile, then buried her head in Bai Yuan's chest, found a comfortable angle, and closed her eyes contentedly.

Chapter 139 New Year's Eve, Nakiri's Family Feast.

Inside the kitchen, Kikuchi Sonoka was unaware of what was happening outside, still busily preparing the food while humming an unknown tune.

She quickly finished making the sandwiches and prepared to call Bai Yuan and Nakiri Alice, but seeing that the two were sleeping soundly, she quietly left the room.

"Go back to sleep for a while. Is that kind of thing really that tiring? I guess I need to recharge."

While eating a sandwich, a romantic soap opera was playing on TV, and all sorts of thoughts floated through Kikuchi Sonoka's mind.

To get through the night better, one needs to conserve energy. However, after a busy night, Bai Yuan might have already run out of ammunition.

In that case, everything we said on the tram that day became empty talk.

If he's really that weak, I'm going to make him laugh at me tonight!

"Miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish"

The thought popped into Kikuchi Sonoka's mind, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. She really wanted to call Shirobuchi a nobody when he was exhausted!

Hmph, it's all his fault for being so strict when giving cooking instructions. He even made her cry several times this month. I have so much to complain about, but I don't know how to express it!

Of course, knowing that Bai Yuan was doing it for her own good, Kikuchi Sonoka did not blame him.

only……

Lying in bed, her mind filled with all the things that had happened recently, Kikuchi Yoko's face flushed slightly, and she hugged her pillow tightly with both hands.

Before long, the girl fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I found myself in a warm embrace, with a large, warm hand on my skin, and when I opened my eyes, I saw the handsome face of a young man.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, what brings you here? Weren't you with Alice...?"

Looking at the man in front of her, Kikuchi Sonoka felt a surge of joy and a little surprise, because logically, Shirai should be with Alice right now.

How did I suddenly appear here?

"After all, we made a promise that tonight is your time. I set an alarm and came over to keep you company as soon as possible."

His fingers gently stroked the silky hair of Kikuchienka, and looking at the blush on the girl's face, Bai Yuan felt his heart race.

"Then why didn't you wake me up? You just secretly watched me from the side! I think I even drooled a moment ago, my sleeping face looked awful!!"

Reaching up to touch the corner of her lips, feeling the saliva residue, Kikuchi Sonoka blushed, then said with a hint of reproach.

She didn't want Bai Yuan to see her ugly side!

"No, that's not true. My little Yuanguo looks like a sleepy little pig when she's asleep, she's so cute."

It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly, how could I bear to wake you? You need to rest and recharge, lest you say you can't go on after just a few rounds."

"What's so cute about looking like a little pig! Humph! I've been saving this up for a whole month, how could I be done in just a few rounds? I'll definitely teach you a lesson later!"

Kikuchi Sonoka pouted and muttered a speechless complaint.

Thinking about all the things Bai Yuan had done to her over the past month, her face burned with embarrassment. Unfortunately, all those things stopped at the last step, leaving her in an awkward position.

Now, I finally have a chance to be released!

Thinking of this, Kikuchi Yoko turned over and sat on Shiro's lap, her hair hanging down her back, speaking in a low voice that the two of them could hear.

“I don’t need any rituals. Now, look at me and do all the things you wanted to do but forcibly restrained before!”

The blanket was draped over her and pulled her up. Kikuchi Yoko's hand was pressed against Shiroyuki's chest, her eyes filled with restraint and forbearance.

"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

Looking into her eyes, Bai Yuan was also touched, and then opened his arms to the girl, making a gesture of hugging her.

Although he really wanted to repeat yesterday's process, the girl couldn't hold back any longer, so he naturally wouldn't pretend to be aloof.

"I love you, Bai Yuan."

"I love you too, Little Garden Fruit."

After a few days of wild fun at the hotel, Baiyuan took Nakiri Alice and Kikuchi Sonoka to play in a nearby scenic area.

On this day, the three of them were watching fish at the aquarium.

"Brother Baiyuan, look! Look! This fish is so beautiful with its colorful spots!"

"Jingle Bell"

Just as she was getting into the swing of things, the phone rang suddenly. Alice Nakiri took out her phone with a hint of impatience, looked at the unfamiliar number, and after a moment's hesitation, finally answered the call.

"Hey, what's up?"

Anyone would be unhappy if their date was interrupted, especially since she was just chatting happily with Bai Yuan.

"How cold, Alice..."

The voice of Leonora Nakiri came from the other end of the phone, causing Alice Nakiri's expression to change slightly before she walked to a corner.

Bai Yuan and Kikuchi Sonoka exchanged a glance. In their view, Alice had been nodding and agreeing ever since the call was connected, and her expression changed from happy to sullen.

After a long pause, she hung up the phone, sighed softly, and looked at the two of them.

"I'm sorry, I probably can't continue playing. The Nakiri family is having a family dinner the day after tomorrow morning, and my mother wants me to go back now."

Alice Nakiri said with a hint of frustration that she also wanted to stay here, but there was nothing she could do.

Although she could skip the family dinner, it would be easy for her mother to lose face at the Nakiri family, and as a child, she didn't want that to happen.

"There's one more thing, about Brother Bai Yuan..."

At this point, Alice Nakiri hesitated, as if unsure where to begin.

But upon seeing Bai Yuan's worried eyes, the complex emotions in his heart suddenly subsided.

Do you want me to come with you?

Before she could speak, Bai Yuan guessed her thoughts and said with a smile.

"Actually, it's not absolutely necessary, but Grandpa asked Mom and said that if possible, Brother Baiyuan could come along."

Alice Nakiri explained what had happened, and looked at Bai Yuan with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"Let's go together then. We've been traveling and sightseeing for a while, and it's time to get down to business."

Thinking of what Senzaemon Nakiri had said to him during that night run, Hakugen's face showed a thoughtful expression, and then he smiled and said.

"Would you like to come with me?!"

Alice Nakiri was somewhat surprised to hear that Shirai had agreed.

To be honest, the Nakiri family's family banquet is quite boring. It's just everyone getting together to eat and then checking on the younger generation's growth over the past year.

Of course, if that were all there was to it, she wouldn't be so resistant.

The key point is that the Nakiri family is a large family with several hundred members, divided into two factions, and this generation is led by Nakiri Senzaemon.

Because he is a top-tier, six-star chef.

Every time I go home, people from another faction jump out to provoke me. Although they say things that are harmless and innocuous, they are still very annoying.

After all, they are all relatives, and each of them owns a portion of the Nakiri family's businesses, so even Old Master Nakiri couldn't resolve their issues.

This time, Senzaemon Nakiri asked her to invite Hakugen to go with him, probably partly to boost the morale of their faction.

This would have been a good thing.

but.

As for Alice Nakiri personally, she didn't want Shirabuchi to get involved in the factional struggles of the large families, because she knew that her master hated trouble the most.

"Since the old man has spoken personally, I naturally have to give him some face."

Besides, the Nakiri family isn't a den of dragons or tigers; as their prospective son-in-law, it's only natural for me to go there.

After stretching his muscles slightly, Bai Yuan spoke.

If Senzaemon Nakiri doesn't mind him trying to seduce both of his granddaughters at the same time, then he certainly won't let him lose face.

"I love you, Brother Baiyuan!"

Alice Nakiri happily hugged Bai Yuan's neck.

She didn't care about having a long face.

But with Bai Yuan by her side, she won't be bored when she goes back this time. She'll definitely be very happy. No matter how you look at it, it's something to be happy about!

"Are you all going to the Nakiri family? I'll go home for the New Year. I haven't seen my parents in a while, and I miss them terribly."

Having played together for so long, Kikuchi Sonoka felt satisfied. Although she felt a little regretful about parting ways, she didn't feel sad.

After all, this separation is for better fun in the future.

Bai Yuan had promised her that once he led the students of Totsuki Academy to graduation, they would travel around the world together, and that would be a very happy time.

As for the time in between.

She decided to open a Western-style restaurant because she studied Western cuisine at Totsuki Culinary Academy, and the things she asked Shirabuchi about later were all related to Western cuisine.

As for the location of the store.

She had originally planned to stay in Hokkaido, but she had already established a relationship with Bai Yuan, and she could learn more by staying by his side.

So she decided to locate the new shop at the foot of the mountain near Totsuki Academy, which would also make it convenient for Shiro to stay overnight and do some fun things with her.

Thinking of the madness of that night and Bai Yuan's urging, Kikuchi Sonoka covered her face with her hands in embarrassment, ashamed to let others see her blushing face.
