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

Bai Yuan felt a soft sensation, followed by a pleasant fragrance that wafted into his nose—the unique scent of Nakiri Leonora.

"Oh dear, he's not like he was when he was little, so small that you could hold him in your arms. Little Brother Bai Yuan is a big kid now."

Touching Bai Yuan's head and feeling the heat of the body in her arms, Leonora Nakiri blushed inexplicably, then let go and took a step back.

Those solid muscles, that strong body—Alice must be eating really well!

As if she had thought of something, Leonora stared blankly at Bai Yuan's body, a hint of resentment appearing in her eyes.

"Alright, let's go back first. Xiaohui is the main character tonight, and they'll be getting impatient if we don't go back soon."

After regaining his balance, Bai Yuan looked at the brightly lit villa not far away, where laughter and cheerful voices filled the air.

The grill and food are all ready.

He had deliberately let Nakiri Leonora hug him just now, just like when he was a child. After all, her body was so soft and supple, and he didn't dislike being hugged by her.

Leonora Nakiri, perhaps knowing this, often teased him, leaving him in a limbo. Fortunately, this rarely happened after he grew up.

"Go back now. Speaking of which, you didn't even come to say hello during the match today, and you disappeared right after the match ended. Now you've made me come in person. You've really grown quite arrogant."

"No, that's not true. I just thought that we'd have plenty of time to talk once we got back, so there was no need to act too familiar in public to avoid any misunderstandings."

Her words carried a hint of reproach, much like a young girl in early spring. As she spoke, she punched Bai Yuan's shoulder with her fist, and then followed him and his daughter into the villa.

"Teacher Baiyuan..."

Tadokoro Megumi, realizing she couldn't get a word in edgewise, was about to fall behind and go inside when Shiro grabbed her hand and led her into the house.

This is unprecedented treatment!

Megumi Tadokoro felt that everything was the same as before, yet something was different.

Soon, the four returned to the villa.

As soon as she opened the outer door and entered the courtyard, she was greeted by Yoshino Yuuki and Mito Ikumi, who were lying in ambush at the door, followed by cheers.

"Congratulations on winning first place, Xiao Hui!"

Fireworks landed on the head of Tadokoro Megumi, who was the first to enter the yard. This celebration was held for her; she was the star of the party.

Because Bai Yuan was reminded by Nakiri Alice before entering, he didn't compete with her for the first spot, which allowed the fireworks to hit the target smoothly.

"Everyone…"

Watching the fireworks fall from the sky, Tadokoro Megumi looked moved. Before she could say anything, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko surrounded her.

"I knew you could succeed, Xiaohui!"

Yoshino Yuuki was beaming with excitement as she grabbed the other person's arm, as if she were the one who had succeeded, not Tadokoro Megumi.

"Congratulations, Xiaohui."

In contrast, Ryoko Sakaki was much more reserved, but I was still genuinely happy for her and congratulated her on winning first place.

"Yuuki, Ryoko..."

Looking at the two people in front of her, Tadokoro Megumi's expression became more moved.

As a member of the Polar Star Trio, without their support, she wouldn't have survived until Bai Yuan arrived, let alone won the summer selection championship.

If Bai Yuan had given her a second chance at life, then the two people in front of her were her pillars of support!

"thank you all."

Tadokoro Megumi said it sincerely.

"Let's not talk about this now. Would you like to try some of my freshly brewed rice wine?"

"I just made a flavorful roast duck, and it was pretty good!"

When Megumi Dadokoro suddenly became sentimental, Yoshino Yuuki and Sakaki Ryoko felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly retreated back to the kitchen to get the cooked dishes.

"Champion, have a drink!"

At the same time, a crisp sound rang out. Bai Yuan looked over and saw that it was Hisako Shinto, who was chugging beer, seemingly trying to drown her sorrows in alcohol.

It's clear that Soma Yukihira's absence today really upset her.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Tadokoro Megumi did not refuse.

She was in a good mood today and wouldn't refuse any request, so she sat down and started drinking with Hisako Shinto.

Bai Yuan glanced at it, then went to the grill and rack and started grilling the meat.

Seeing this, Alice Nakiri came to his side to help. Bai Yuan handed her meat with bamboo skewers, showing her thoughtfulness. At this moment, it felt as if they had returned to that night.

"Pineapple and meat are a perfect match."

Skewer the pineapple and pork together, then place them directly on the charcoal fire and sprinkle with a thin layer of salt. The rich aroma immediately fills the entire space.

"The pineapple loses its moisture as it's grilled over charcoal, concentrating its sugars and making it even sweeter. The pork belly sizzles with oil, and one bite is incredibly satisfying!"

Taking the skewers from Bai Yuan, Alice Nakiri opened her mouth and took a bite, a happy expression immediately appearing on her face.

"Give me one too!"

Megumi Tadokoro and Hisako Shinoto sat down next to Shirabuchi with their beers, their eyes filled with longing.

"I want it too! I want it too!"

"Don't worry, everyone gets one."

As the atmosphere grew increasingly lively, Bai Yuan's smile remained unchanged. He enjoyed this kind of life, and he loved cooking happily surrounded by everyone.

Chapter 219 Another One Falls? The Busy Soma Yukihira

The moon star is thin, and the black dragonfly flies south.

Bai Yuan stood on the rooftop of the villa, gazing up at the starry sky. The sky was cloudless, and both the stars and the moon were very bright, creating an extremely beautiful scene.

Just then, a figure appeared beside him. Bai Yuan turned his head and was surprised to find that the person was Nakiri Erina.

Why is this guy suddenly running up here instead of attending the celebration downstairs?

"Teacher Bai Yuan."

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw him. She greeted him politely, then placed her hand on the railing and looked up at the moon in the sky.

"The moonlight is so beautiful."

Looking at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and recalling the magnificent sight she had seen between the moon and the sky not long ago, Erina Nakiri sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, the moonlight is beautiful."

Bai Yuan also spoke up, unaware that Erina Nakiri's gaze held a new emotion, and her face flushed red, showing a shy and fluttering expression.

"Did Xiaohui confess her feelings to you?"

He stared at Bai Yuan for a long time, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Erina Nakiri's voice suddenly rang out, startling him.

"That's right, how did you know? This happened not long ago, it should have been kept quite secret."

Bai Yuan was somewhat surprised. Tadokoro Megumi had just confessed to him, so how could everyone know about it so quickly? Could it be that Alice told her?

That shouldn't be the case.

Although Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri have gotten along much better recently, they are now so close that they can talk about anything.

Alice Nakiri would never casually reveal his secret to others.

"Xiao Hui is a little drunk; she said so herself."

Erina Nakiri gave the answer: she had been sitting next to Hisako Shinoto and had watched her and Megumi Tadokoro drink together. When they got into a good time, she brought up the matter.

She vaguely remembered Tadokoro Megumi's expression at the time. The usually quiet girl was beaming with excitement when talking about this, and she couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

However, Erina Nakiri could understand her feelings to some extent. After all, for them, Hakugen was basically the most outstanding man they had ever met in their lives, the only flaw being that he was a bit of a womanizer.

However, in today's world, being a womanizer is not considered a flaw.

"Did Xiaohui say that herself? That's a bit unlike her usual self. It's probably because of the alcohol..."

Upon hearing Erina Nakiri's description, Bai Yuan quickly guessed the result, then shook his head slightly, showing little emotion.

Since you've agreed to be with Megumi Tadokoro, you should give her a proper status. It would be unfair to her if you were hesitant and unwilling to acknowledge it.

"Have you agreed?"

Listening quietly to Bai Yuan's murmurs, Nakiri Erina spoke, her voice carrying a strange emotion, somewhat difficult to utter, yet also sounding like a question.

"Of course, Xiaohui is so outstanding, beautiful, and has a great figure. Most importantly, she has a gentle personality and genuinely likes me without any other emotions involved. What reason do I have to disagree?"

As he listed Tadokoro Megumi's good points, the more he thought about it, the more he felt he had gotten a great deal, and the smile on Bai Yuan's face became more and more obvious.

The other person could be considered a perfect married woman, and it was pure luck that she liked him; there was absolutely no reason for her to refuse!

"Because she's pretty and has a good figure..."

Erina Nakiri's attention was completely focused on those eight words, her pretty face visibly flushed red, and she lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought.

If we had to nitpick, she actually possesses those qualities, and might even have a better figure. What Tadokoro Megumi could do, she…

As far as the eye could see, there was her proud chest; because of her body shape, her feet could no longer be seen after she grew up.

If we really discuss it, she's got the right curves in all the right places, so if she confessed her feelings, Bai Yuan would most likely agree.

After all, this guy looks like he's a lecher!

Thinking of this, Erina Nakiri glanced at Bai Yuan with a subtle look in her eyes. Coincidentally, he also looked over at that moment.

The moment their eyes met, the girl quickly looked away, unable to meet his gaze.

"You suddenly came to me and said all this, could it be that you also have feelings for me?"

Looking at Erina Nakiri's coy and affected manner, Bai Yuan's eyes showed a playful look, and then he reached out and pinched her delicate nose.

"Huh? Ideas? For you? How could that be!"

Having her secret exposed, Erina Nakiri panicked, raising her voice several octaves as she vehemently denied the fact.

But as soon as she said it, she regretted it immediately and wished she could slap herself. If she didn't say those words, how could she confess her feelings later?

"I was a little unsure at first, but after seeing your attitude, everything became clear. We only have one chance, so why don't we give it a try?"

Bai Yuan was all too familiar with Erina's haughty little face, so he immediately opened his arms and made a gesture of embracing her, letting Erina choose.
