Food Wars, My Dishes Don't Just Shine

"I came by bicycle..."

Mito Ikumi answered truthfully, and as she spoke, she walked to the bicycle with a seat on the street corner, bent down and unlocked it.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, please get on, I'll take you back."

Quickly pushing the bicycle next to Bai Yuan, stepping on the brake, Mito Ikumi looked at Bai Yuan with a dashing and heroic air and shouted.

"Will you give me a ride back? Sure."

Upon hearing Mito Ikumi's words, Shiro stopped what he was doing, slightly surprised.

Perhaps because he usually carries so many passengers, when Mito Ikumi said, "Get on, I'll give you a ride back," he was indeed stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say.

However, he didn't hesitate for long. After Mito Ikumi got on the bike, he naturally sat on the back seat and put his arm around her waist.

"Hey, Teacher Bai Yuan, it itches so much there!"

Suddenly, Shiro hugged her waist, causing Mito Ikumi to tremble all over, and even the bicycle wobbled. Fortunately, she managed to maintain her balance and didn't fall, though she was slightly out of breath.

"Is it already like this just because he hugged her waist? I remember the little chubby girl before wasn't like this. She was very proactive and domineering."

Bai Yuan's voice carried a hint of teasing, but he didn't move his hand away; it wouldn't be good to move it away now and then put it back on.

Moreover, once the initial itching subsides, everything will return to normal.

"Don't say things like this in public!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's threatening words, Mito Ikumi's voice suddenly became much louder, and a number of alluring blushes appeared on her face.

"So what if we say it in public? Will Little Meat Charm get excited? Or will she already be at her limit just hearing such comments...?"

Seeing Mito Ikumi's shy appearance, Bai Yuan felt as if he had opened Pandora's box and discovered the treasure hidden deep within.

"How could that be? How could I possibly get excited because of a few words from you? That would be utterly shameless!"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Yumi blushed and retorted. She could never admit to that, and she would never get excited over a single sentence!

"How could you be shameless? That's proof of your love for me. Without love as a foundation, I don't think you could get excited."

Bai Yuan's voice was soft and gentle. As he spoke, he moved his hand up a bit, feeling the gradually increasing heat, and his heart started to race.

Mito Ikumi wasn't the only one excited by those few words; he felt the same way, a subtle flutter of excitement from the depths of his heart that filled him with anticipation.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, over there..."

Feeling the sudden increase in temperature in a certain part of her body, Mito Ikumi's face turned extremely red, and her body trembled slightly.

"What do you mean 'there'? It's just an arm around your waist. There's no need to act like I did something heinous to you in public."

"It was more than just holding her waist..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Yumi muttered under her breath, knowing that the other party was up to no good.

This feeling of being neither too close nor too distant is even more shameful than having your hand placed directly on someone else's. At least for now, she's become anxious and restless!

Her body twisted slightly, and the close contact with Bai Yuan made her body gradually become hot, and the rhythm of her pedaling became chaotic.

Just then, Bai Yuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, pressing his upper body against hers to help her balance the vehicle and stabilize it.

"We've arrived at our destination."

Looking at the gradually familiar streets, with Chinatown behind them, Bai Yuan rested his face on Mito Ikumi's shoulder, his voice tinged with suppressed emotion.

For some reason, he felt that Mito Ikumi possessed a charm that others lacked, making him want to capture her and bully her mercilessly.

And what about Mito Ikumi?

Along the way, her beloved person pressed half of their body against hers, putting her body in a state of readiness in advance.

Now, all that's missing is a spark to ignite her fuse and completely detonate her.

And Bai Yuan is that spark!

Upon arriving at their destination, Mito Ikumi bent down to lock her bicycle. Shiro, standing behind her, looked at her voluptuous figure and couldn't resist stepping forward. He reached out and put his hands under her knees, then picked her up in his arms.

"Eh, eh eh eh!!"

As soon as she locked the bicycle, a feeling of weightlessness came from beneath her, and Mito Ikumi immediately cried out in surprise, becoming somewhat flustered.

"Teacher Bai Yuan, what are you doing? Put me down in that position!"

Feeling the tightening sensation on her thighs, Mito Ikumi swayed slightly, her face showing extreme resistance.

Indeed, being suddenly picked up, especially in this position, is something no one could accept immediately.

"No, let's just go back like this."

Faced with Mito Ikumi's request, Hakugen became unusually assertive, his lips curving upwards as he spoke, giving off a sense of a successful conspiracy.

"Ahhh, Teacher Bai Yuan is such a bad guy!"

Seeing that no matter what she said, Bai Yuan wouldn't put her down, Mito Ikumi could only resign herself to her fate and lower her head, saying through gritted teeth.

"Women don't love bad boys. It's better to be a little more intense than to be ordinary. What do you think? I can stop right now if you don't want things to be like this."

Upon hearing Mito Ikumi's words, Shiro's voice suddenly became frivolous. As he spoke, he tried to put her down, but she grabbed his hand.

"Having come this far, it would be too pathetic to stop at the last minute..."

The girl's voice held a hint of shyness and a touch of melancholy.

It was Bai Yuan who started it, but now he's using this "playing hard to get" tactic, it's really going too far!

She was just being a little reserved, did he have to act like this? He even forced her to admit that he had those kinds of thoughts. What a scheming man!

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

Feeling the lingering warmth on his wrist and the shyness of the girl in his arms, Bai Yuan's excitement reached its peak, and he lowered his head slightly.

"Don't pity me, Teacher Bai Yuan."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Yumi's eyes became hazy, and her voice became even more charming. At this moment, her heart was beating frighteningly fast.

"Don't worry, even if you cry yourself hoarse tonight, I still won't let you off the hook."

After being called a "bad guy" several times, Bai Yuan got a little angry. Mito Ikumi was clearly more proactive back then, but now he was being blamed for being too proactive.

This desire to have it all and want more is truly infuriating.

"Eh!!?"

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's resolute words, Mito Ikumi felt a rare tremor in her heart, and her body involuntarily trembled at his words.

"After a busy day, I'll take a shower first."

Seeing Mito Ikumi's subtle expression, Bai Yuan's mischievous smile became even more pronounced. As he spoke, he opened the door in front of him, picked her up, and walked inside.

"Let me use the restroom first. I didn't say anything on the way here, and I've been holding it in until now..."

Upon hearing Bai Yuan's words, Mito Yumi spoke softly, her eyes pleading as she looked up at him.

However, the other person directly avoided her gaze, a hint of excitement in their eyes.

"Sure, I'll take you there."

"You don't need to take me with you for this kind of thing!"

As soon as Bai Yuan uttered those words, Mito Ikumi's pupils dilated in shock.

Although I've done everything I should and shouldn't have done, I still really have to face Bai Yuan...

A strong sense of shame wouldn't allow her to do it!

"This is a rare opportunity, and it's the first time I've experienced something like this. If we have children in the future, we'll definitely hold them like this too. This is just a practice session for me."

Bai Yuan's voice revealed a hint of excitement. Now that Mito Ikumi was in his arms, if she didn't listen to him, she could expect to wet her pants!

"Hey! Teacher Bai Yuan, are you even listening to me? And what kind of weird theory are you spouting? What does it have to do with me if a child goes to the toilet?"

Seeing Bai Yuan's excited expression, Mito Ikumi couldn't help but shout, but she received no response from him.

"Listen, it's not like we're stopping you from going to the toilet."

"That's not the point, Professor Bai Yuan, you're such a pervert!"

Seeing Bai Yuan's feigned ignorance, Mito Ikumi gritted her teeth and said, but a hint of anticipation appeared deep in her eyes, clearly excited by the other party's strength.

After all, they were an old married couple, and they were in a small, private room, so Mito Ikumi felt ashamed but did not resist.

"Is that a pervert? Couples shouldn't call each other that."

He closed the door behind him and headed straight for the toilet, soon carrying Mito Ikumi there.

"We've arrived. Put me down first!"

"This is not okay."

"You don't necessarily want to use this position..."

"So clever, no wonder you're my little meat charm."

"This...this won't do! This is too much! I...I'm not a child anymore!"

Because there was a mirror in the restroom, Mito Ikumi could clearly see her current appearance through the mirror.

Overwhelmed with shame, Tian couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face, unwilling to see his own disgraceful state.

To me, you are just a child.

Upon hearing Mito Ikumi's words, Hakugen burst into laughter.

The toilet door slowly closed.

A short while later, a crisp sound came from inside, and Mito Ikumi walked out with a face full of shame, ignoring Shiro Awakening behind her.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing Mito Ikumi's appearance, Shirai chased after her from the restroom and surrounded her with an excited smile on his face.

"No way! Teacher Bai Yuan is going too far!"

Mito Ikumi returned to her room somewhat angrily, covering her head with the blanket as if to ignore Shirai.

"Since you don't like it, I won't do it this way next time."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Bai Yuan realized that he had gone too far and immediately apologized.

"Once or twice is fine, but please don't lower my standards any further. I feel like I'm turning into a weirdo."
