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

It wasn't very dirty; you could tell it was cleaned regularly. But it was really messy, yet strangely, there was a sense of order within the chaos.

"Don't be fooled by its mess; I did it this way on purpose. If I had arranged everything properly, I wouldn't even know where I put anything."

Seeing Bai Yuan's slightly subtle gaze, Kobayashi Rindou squeezed into the room, awkwardly scratching his hair, and whispered something to make amends beside him.

Despite the mess in the room, she can find anything she's looking for immediately. In a sense, isn't that a form of tidying up?

"As long as I'm happy living here, what matters is what others say. I think it's great this way; it feels like home, doesn't it?"

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou's embarrassment, Bai Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

As he spoke, he strode toward the sofa, looked at the underwear and stockings on it, and silently picked up the black stockings.

"But I still put the clothes I take off in the laundry tub and wash them all at once after ten or fifteen days. Removing these clothes will make the room look much cleaner."

"Ahem, I understand, give it to me."

Although she appeared carefree on the outside, she felt somewhat ashamed that a handsome, physically healthy man was holding her personal clothing.

Logically speaking, this should be a very annoying thing, but at this moment, Kobayashi Rindou not only did not feel disgusted, but also had a faint sense of smugness.

This feeling is very subtle.

To put it simply...

Someone who used to be aloof and superior suddenly starts paying attention to your daily life and then tells you to be careful in a gentle tone.

This kind of consideration from a superior to a subordinate not only doesn't make people feel uncomfortable, but also feels like a gentle breeze.

The joy was even more pronounced when considering that Bai Yuan was a seven-star chef, a national treasure in any country.

"I'll go to the kitchen to cook. You tidy up the dirty clothes. Consider the cherry blossom cakes your reward. There won't be any reward if you don't cook them well."

Watching Kobayashi Rindou snatch the black stockings, and feeling the lingering warmth on his fingertips, Bai Yuan waved his hand and strode towards the kitchen.

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Looking at the messy living room, Kobayashi Rindou felt a little embarrassed, so he gave Bai Yuan's back an OK sign.

She's very good at tidying up and organizing; after all, over the past three years, she has repeatedly transformed her home from a messy state into a clean one.

Then, in less than half a month, it will return to its chaotic state.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, you are the first person to come to my house, and you are my first love."

As if she had thought of something and felt it was unfair that she was the only one who was shy, Kobayashi Rindou came to the kitchen door with her underwear in her arms and called out to Shirahara, who was standing in front of the counter.

It was probably the first time a boy had come to her house, and she felt that there was something ambiguous between them.

However, she enjoyed the feeling.

She likes capable people because she feels safe around them, as if someone will always be there to protect her no matter what she does.

Like a small, weak wild animal in the forest, it always wants to find a powerful backer for itself.

Chapter 166 Bai Yuan: Xiao Lin, your legs are so stiff!

"Really? I'm truly honored."

Contrary to expectations, there was no panic. Bai Yuan simply smiled gently and calmly answered Kobayashi Rindou's question.

"Tsk, you're not funny at all."

Not hearing what he wanted to hear, Kobayashi Rindou couldn't help but click his tongue, then went back to tidy up the clothes scattered in the living room.

"Pfft, this guy, he's just making fun of me."

Seeing Kobayashi Rindou suddenly appear at the door and then hurriedly leave, Bai Yuan couldn't help but scoff.

He shook his head and refocused his attention on the kitchen counter in front of him, where the cherry blossoms and cherry blossom leaves that had been wrapped in his clothes were now laid out.

The first step in making cherry blossom cakes is to process the cherry blossoms by washing some of them with water and then drying them in the sun.

The remaining leaves are cleaned, dried in an oven at a low temperature, and then salted together with the cherry blossom leaves in brine.

After doing all that, the remaining task is to make the red bean paste filling, which is relatively simple to make, but it still takes time.

After rinsing the red beans, put them in a pressure cooker, add an appropriate amount of water, and pressure cook for 35 minutes.

"Hello, Alice? Have someone bring your molecular gastronomy machine to Kobayashi Rindou's house for me. I need to use it to cook something."

After finishing with the red beans, Bai Yuan glanced at the cherry blossoms basking in the sunlight, then walked to the window and dialed Alice Nakiri's number.

To extract pigments from cherry blossoms, some chemical methods are required, and all of them take more than a day.

However, he needed to use it now, and after thinking it over, the most convenient option was still Alice Nakiri's molecular gastronomy machine, which could perfectly meet his needs.

"Kobayashi-senpai's house? Where is that... Also, Bai Yuan-ge, weren't you taking the transfer students to visit the clubs? How did we end up at Kobayashi-senpai's house?"

After a few seconds of silence, Alice Nakiri's voice, tinged with doubt and questioning, came from the other end of the phone.

"We bumped into each other on the street. It's a holiday today, and I wasn't thinking it would be suitable to cook at home, so I came to her place. We can talk in more detail when you come over."

After giving a brief explanation, Bai Yuan hung up the phone and strode into the living room, where the previous mess had vanished without a trace.

Although the items are still scattered here and there, they are noticeably neater now.

"Are you done?"

Hearing the noise from the kitchen, Kobayashi Rindou, who was holding a dishcloth, immediately looked over with shining eyes, his voice filled with excitement.

"Starting from scratch won't be quick, it'll take at least another hour, just wait patiently."

Seeing how anxious Kobayashi Rindou was, Bai Yuan felt a little helpless. He tapped her on the head and then sat down on the sofa.

"So slow..."

Look how clean I've made it!

He sat down next to Bai Yuan, tossed aside the rag in his hand, and put his feet up on the table, resting his arms on the edge of the sofa.

"It's clean enough, but your posture is so ungraceful, you've been seen naked..."

Turning his head slightly, Bai Yuan could see the light gray bra strap of Kobayashi Rindan's underwear, which made him frown slightly. He didn't know whether to look or not.

It would be embarrassing if we were discovered if we looked, but it would be a shame not to look at such a beautiful view, so Bai Yuan offered a word of advice.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Teacher Bai Yuan is embarrassed to see these things?"

Her shapely, straight legs were propped up on the coffee table. Her black stockings had long been removed by Kobayashi Rindan and put into the laundry tub, leaving Bai Yuan with only a patch of fair skin.

Amidst that expanse of fair skin, perhaps from being stared at by intense gazes for too long, her toes curled slightly with a hint of shyness, like a young girl reluctant to be seen.

“I’ve seen this kind of scene many times, how could I possibly feel ashamed?”

Seeing that Kobayashi Rindan didn't seem to care much, Bai Yuan said stubbornly, his gaze lingering on the girl's jade feet.

"You've been looking at me for so long, why don't you give me a massage? I've been on the fishing boat these past two days, walking back and forth non-stop, and it's really tiring. My legs are so sore."

Being stared at like that made even the usually carefree Kobayashi Rindou feel awkward, but she was never one to take things lying down.

Since Bai Yuan likes to watch it, she'll use some drastic measures to completely correct his bad habit.

Perfect timing! She hasn't washed her feet since she got back, and the boots she's worn for two days smell really bad. That should shatter Bai Yuan's beautiful fantasy.

"Hmph, try to escape in a sorry state!"

She placed her delicate, small feet on Bai Yuan's lap, braced herself on the sofa, and moved her feet toward his chest, attempting to humiliate him with this move.

Young, inexperienced boys like this are the easiest to deal with.

"Great! I've learned this before, I guarantee I'll give you a really comfortable massage!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuan not only did not back down, but instead revealed a hint of excitement. While speaking, he grabbed her ankle and stroked the sole of her foot with his fingers.

"Eh……"

This left Kobayashi Rindou somewhat bewildered, letting out a confused "Eh?" But since it was her own foot that she had offered, she couldn't very well refuse.

"Don't worry, it might hurt a little at the beginning, my technique is very good."

After staring at it for a long time, Bai Yuan could no longer contain himself. After saying those words, he pressed down directly on the sole of the foot.

The girl's jade-like feet were warm and smooth, and because they had been trapped in shoes for a long time, plus after working at home for half a day, they had sweated a little, making them feel incredibly delicate.

However, Bai Yuan remained calm and began to massage the soles of her feet with great skill. This was a technique he had learned specifically for Nakiri Alice to help her relax.

Alice Nakiri, understanding his exhaustion, would also massage each other's feet once a week, and once a month.

This is the first time I've ever massaged someone else's phone.

"It hurts! Wait... don't push anymore!!"

"It's always like this the first time. Just bear with it, and it will start to feel better after you get through it."

Seeing Kobayashi Rindan's face flushed red, her body trembling slightly, and her thighs stiff, Bai Yuan refused to let go, his hand tightly gripping her ankle.

Her flamboyant red hair swayed slightly as she struggled, adding to the girl's disheveled and embarrassed appearance, but also making hearts race even faster.

Twenty minutes passed in this way, and seeing that he could not break free, Kobayashi Rindou gritted his teeth and accepted it.

I thought it would be a painful ordeal, but just as Bai Yuan said, after the pain came an indescribable comfort that spread throughout my whole body!

"Do you feel better now? I wasn't lying to you."

"If you don't pay, have you never even had a foot massage before? Normally, it's not like you do; people who don't know better would think I'm butchering a pig."

Thinking of the scene of slaughtering pigs in the countryside, Bai Yuan couldn't help but joke that the way Xiao Lin Longdan struggled just now really looked like a pig being slaughtered in the countryside.

You're the pig!

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Kobayashi Rindou, who was just about to praise his skill, suddenly frowned and put his hands on his hips, saying angrily.

However, she was still not satisfied, so she knelt on the sofa, bent down, and stretched out her hands to tickle Bai Yuan in order to prove her dissatisfaction, but she missed because she used too much force.

Actually, he didn't miss his target. He ended up lying on Bai Yuan's lap, feeling a softness that aroused him slightly. He couldn't help but marvel at how well-endowed Kobayashi Rindan was.

"Bang bang bang."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Kobayashi Rindou froze, realizing his posture was wrong, and hurriedly got up.

"Who is it? Please wait a moment."

Rolling his eyes at the man next to him, Kobayashi Rindou propped himself up on the sofa, not even bothering to put on his slippers, and fled to the door.

"call……"

Standing at the door, having calmed his tense emotions slightly, Kobayashi Rindou let out a long breath, wondering who would come at this time.
