Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

　The air conditioner blew out cold air, causing Kiko to unconsciously snuggle closer to Shiro's shoulder, her nose brushing against his collarbone and sending a slight shiver down her spine.

　"Um"

　Feeling the tickle on the tip of her nose, Kikuchi Sonoka suddenly let out a kitten-like whimper, closed her eyes, and precisely grabbed his wrist, pulling him towards her waist.

　Bai Yuan chuckled, and the next moment his fingertip touched the warm skin on the other person's lower abdomen under the covers, where there were red marks left by his palm last night.

　Feeling the tremor in her lower abdomen, her ankle wrapped around Bai Yuan's, the coldness causing Bai Yuan to hiss softly.

　"Pretending to be asleep when you're awake?"

　Sensing the mischief of Kikuchi Sonoka, Bai Yuan pinched the back of her neck with his other hand, watching her bury her face in his chest, the whorl of hair on the top of her head rubbing against his chin with the movement of her head shaking.

　Just then, Bai Yuan's phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated. He was about to reach for it when she pressed his arm down.

　Five minutes...

　Kikuchiko protested indistinctly, her lips brushing against his Adam's apple.

　Bai Yuan sighed as he looked at the ceiling, but ultimately ignored it.

　At that moment, the sunlight fell precisely on her exposed waistline, where the red finger marks he had left in his loss of control last night gleamed with an ambiguous pink hue in the morning light.

　So he deliberately moved the arm she was pressing down on, trying to get her to let go, but Kikuchi Sonoka clung to him even tighter like a sloth, her throat emitting dissatisfied whimpers, and her nose rubbed deeper into his neck, as if trying to burrow into his skin.

　"Sleep a little longer..."

　The girl's voice was soft and husky, with a lingering, drawn-out tone, like a spoiled kitten gently scratching Bai Yuan's heart with its paws.

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan chuckled softly, gently brushing aside the stray hairs on her forehead with his fingers, teasing her deliberately: "The sun's already high in the sky, still sleeping?"

　After hearing this, Kikuchi Sonoka wrinkled her nose, closed her eyes, and acted spoiled: "Then you can block the sun for me."

　After saying that, she snuggled closer to Bai Yuan, wrapping her arms around his waist and her legs around him, treating him like an octopus-shaped pillow, feeling his body heat, and her expression gradually became comfortable and enjoyable.

　Seeing this, Bai Yuan sighed helplessly and indulgently, then reached out and pulled the blanket up to cover most of her exposed skin.

　Faced with Bai Yuan's considerate treatment, Kikuchi Sonoka took advantage of the situation, lifting herself up and pressing her face against his chest, closing her eyes and sullenly...

　She said, "Your heartbeat is so loud..."

　Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing: "Then what should we do? Should I stop?"

　Kikuchi Sonoka snorted and lightly pinched his waist in protest. The next moment, Shiro couldn't help but laugh out loud, the vibration of his chest making her tremble slightly as well.

　"If you don't get up soon, breakfast will get cold. I can already smell the aroma of breakfast."

　He reached out and pinched Kikuchi Sonoka's pretty nose. Because the room was next to the kitchen and the window was open, the aroma from the kitchen wafted in and was smelled by Shiro.

　"Okay, then I want you to carry me."

　Although there was a slight sense of distance yesterday, after a night of in-depth conversation, that slight distance has disappeared, and they have become very close.

　This is also the main reason why Kikuchi Sonoka can so naturally act cute towards Shiroyuki when she wakes up in the morning; after a deep conversation, the two seem to have their souls intertwined.

　"Holding you? In this position?"

　Looking at the fair and delicate skin under the blanket, Bai Yuan's voice was light and teasing.

　"Never mind then, let me change my clothes first."

　Upon hearing Bai Yuan's voice, Mujichi Yuanguo couldn't help but blush. Then, noticing his intense gaze, she pulled the blanket up a little shyly.

　"We're an old married couple, and we've been watching each other for who knows how long last night. Why are you being so formal?"

　Seeing Kikuchi Sonoka's subconscious actions, Bai Yuan couldn't help but tease her, and then directly pulled off the blanket covering her, immediately feasting his eyes.

　"Pervert! I still have some sense of shame, and there's a huge difference between night and day!"

　Kikuchi Yoko said, her face flushed.

　When the lights are off at night and you can't see your surroundings, the two of you are completely caught up in a mix of emotions.

　During the day, the light is bright and the view is clear. Just being stared at by Bai Yuan with that burning gaze, even though the two of them had already crossed that line, made Mujichi Sonoka feel incredibly ashamed. At this moment, her toes, which were painted with light pink nail polish, couldn't help but curl up and grip the sheets tightly.

　"In that case, hurry up and change your clothes."

　Seeing Kikuchi Sonoka's expression, Bai Yuan was too lazy to tease her anymore. After saying that, he sat up from the bed and picked up his clothes that he had thrown on the floor.

　"Wait, where are my panties?"

　"I don't know, but look for it. It's in this room anyway."

　Bai Yuan casually remarked as he put on his clothes.

　"No, I remember you last night..."

　Unable to find her panties, she couldn't proceed to the next step of putting on her skirt. And after being stared at by Shiro for a while, the feeling of shame gradually disappeared. Kikuchi Yoko sat cross-legged on the bed and began to think.

　Soon, Bai Yuan's actions from the previous night flashed through her mind...

　"Wait, don't say it! I think I remember where I put it!"

　Seeing that Kikuchi Sonoka was deep in thought, Bai Yuan also recalled the previous night while getting dressed. A blush appeared on his face, and he then stepped forward and covered her mouth.

　He was having so much fun that he accidentally...

　Bai Yuan didn't want to think about the unnecessary details. He simply took his panties out of his pocket and coughed twice, saying, "I'm done changing. I'll wait for you at the door."

　After saying that, he fled the room, leaving only Kikuchi Sonoka inside. She remembered that Shiro Awakening had looked like a baby yesterday.

　Thinking about what happened last night, Kikuchi Sonoka's face also turned bright red. She bit her lower lip lightly, felt a slight heat in her chest, and her heart started racing uncontrollably.

　the other side.

　Bai Yuan was buttoning his clothes by the door, while leaning against the wall next to the room, closing his eyes to rest and wait for Mujichi Sonoka. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and last night, seeing the girl's graceful and innocent beauty, he couldn't resist trying many positions and movements he would never have tried before, keeping her occupied until late into the night before finally falling asleep.

　"Good morning, Professor Bai Yuan."

　Just as Bai Yuan closed his eyes to recall the wonderful night before, a clear voice came from not far away.

　Turning his head, he was somewhat surprised to find that the person who came was Mito Ikumi. The girl was dressed in a hot outfit, and her face turned very red when she saw him, but she still greeted him in a generous manner.

　Good morning, Mito. How did you sleep last night?

　Thinking about what happened last night, Bai Yuan saw this as an opportunity and began to tease him with a smile.

　"I rested very well, I slept until now. Teacher Bai Yuan, I wanted to ask you..."

　Looking at Bai Yuan's ambiguous smile, Mito Ikumi, who was initially somewhat puzzled, finally understood the reason for her state that morning.

　However, would Bai Yuan, a man of integrity and virtue, really do such a thing...?

　Mito Ikumi still had some hesitation, feeling that she shouldn't doubt Hakugen.

　"Asked me what?"

　Bai Yuan pretended not to understand and spoke up, while staring intently at Mito Ikumi's most impressive feature, without any attempt to hide it, making Mito Ikumi's body feel hot and her face turn red, leaving her speechless.

　"Nothing... Shall we go eat, Professor Bai Yuan?"

　The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I couldn't bring myself to say them. How am I supposed to say something like this?

　Does this mean I woke up in a vacuum and somehow became a vacuum? Mr. Bai Yuan, do you even know what's going on? What does it mean to say something like that? Are you asking me to take responsibility?

　Thinking about this, Mito Ikumi's feelings became complicated.

　Knowing that Bai Yuan was the only man in the villa, she felt no anger when she saw herself in that state yesterday; instead, she was filled with excitement at being recognized.

　After the initial excitement, she felt a little lost because Bai Yuan wasn't by her side when she woke up. This suggested that he might not be willing to take responsibility, and she wondered how she should face him.

　Thinking of this, Mito Ikumi felt a little inferior again.

　Girls with dark skin like her, no matter what, would never be popular with men.

　Teacher Bai Yuan is so outstanding, he definitely didn't have those kinds of thoughts about her. What happened yesterday was probably just an accident. Trying to get her to make a promise might just make her dislike you.

　After thinking it over, I decided to just pretend it never happened.

　This way, at least we can maintain our original lifestyle...

　"Of course, you go ahead first, I still need to wait for someone."

　Bai Yuan was naturally unaware of Mito Ikumi's complex thoughts; otherwise, he would have held her tightly and whispered in her ear that girls with wheat-colored skin had a unique charm, and were even more alluring than girls with snow-white skin at times, telling her to just be herself and not to feel inferior.

　"Okay, I'll head over now."

　Hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Yumi felt a little disappointed. At the same time, she became even more certain that Bai Yuan seemed to have no feelings for her. So she suppressed her feelings even deeper and carefully protected them so that they would not be discovered.

　That's good. Maintaining the current lifestyle seems fine.

　At least when the cooking went wrong, Shirabuchi was still willing to make physical contact with her.

　"I've changed it."

　Shortly after Mito Ikumi left, Kikuchi Sonoka, having changed her clothes, came out of the room, exuding a faint lavender scent.

　"So slow, did you go take a shower?"

　"Ugh, I felt so sticky and uncomfortable, so I went to take a shower. Come to think of it, it's all your fault!"

　Thinking about the craziness of last night, Kikuchi Sonoka couldn't help but purse her lips and complain. The other party was not satisfied with the norm at all and dragged her to do a lot of unconventional things.

　"hey-hey."

　In response, Bai Yuan simply scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.

　"Let's go, I can already smell the aroma of food. By the way, who's cooking today?"

　Seeing Bai Yuan's awkward smile, Kikuchi Sonoka didn't intend to delve into the matter further, so she walked towards the living room after saying that.

　"Alice, judging from the taste of the food, she must have cooked it, and Xiaohui was helping out."

　Bai Yuan sniffed, savoring the unique fragrance in the air, and spoke.

　"You can smell that?!"

　Shirobuchi's words surprised Kikuchi Sonoka.

　"Don't underestimate super sense of smell, okay?"

　"Hard to judge, I really want to fight you genius freaks!"

　Hearing Bai Yuan's nonchalant words, Muji Chienka gritted her teeth and said, "These geniuses are really annoying. They can easily do things that no matter how hard she tries, she can't achieve."

　"No need. If we work hard, it wouldn't be bad to have a little genius in the future."

　Seeing Kikuchi Sonoka waving her little fists in the air, looking annoyed, Bai Yuan thought to himself how cute she was, and then stepped forward and took her fist.
