"understood."

Upon hearing Yang Nai's call, Yukimu immediately replied.

Then, he stopped asking questions and began to explain Cheng Shi.

"Cheng Shijun, could you please check the heat? I'll be right back."

“No problem.” Cheng Shi nodded, then pointed to the chopped Japanese ingredients.

"Do they need my help?"

Xue's mother glanced at it and said, "No need, your uncle prefers what I make."

"understood."

Just like in those TV dramas.

The food your loved one eats is always different, and so on.

In short, Cheng Shi silently waited here until Xue Mu returned.

Then, Xue's mother kicked him out.

The reason was: his dishes were already cooked, and now it was her turn.

However, Cheng Shi had reason to suspect that she wanted to push herself out to face Xue's father alone.

Oh no.

And then there's Yukinoshita Haruno. Although she appears to be watching TV, she hasn't actually drunk any more of the wine in her glass.

Cheng Shi glanced at her.

Sure enough, a lot of ideas popped up in an instant.

Then, Cheng Shi looked back.

Xue's father had by this time come to his senses after the initial bewilderment, shock, and sudden realization upon seeing him.

Then, Xue's father nodded to him and went straight upstairs to change his clothes.

As he walked, he kept thinking: I didn't expect it to be so fast.

Although he had expected it, Xue's father still felt heavy-hearted when he saw Cheng Shi appear at his home so quickly.

Is this the time for a marriage proposal?

How old are they?

It seems to be 17? Or maybe 18?

Or is it that kid's birthday coming up soon?

In a short period of time, Xue's father thought about many things.

But no matter how much you think, none of it compares to just one idea.

That is, an unwillingness to face it.

however

In the end, Xue's father sat down opposite Cheng Shi, his expression slightly serious.

Seeing this, Cheng Shi mistakenly thought that Xue's father had something important to say, and thus he also unconsciously became serious.

Seeing his appearance, Xue's father became even more convinced that his guess was probably correct, so his expression changed from serious to earnest.

Cheng Shi noticed the change in his expression.

So, naturally, I assumed the other person was about to speak, and my expression also became serious.

Then, the two men, whose expressions inexplicably turned serious, silently stared at each other.

This eye contact was followed by a three-minute silence.

Seeing that the two hadn't spoken for so long, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but turn to look at them.

Then, the scene shifts to the one where the father and Cheng Shi face each other in silence.

Yukinoshita remained silent:

I thought there would be some verbal sparring, but it turned out to be just this?

While she remained silent, Cheng Shi and Xue's father continued to stare at each other.

The two had very different ideas.

Why hasn't he said anything yet?

Is he preparing himself mentally?

possible!

A few more minutes passed.

Why isn't he saying anything?

Are you thinking of bringing this up at the dinner table?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi couldn't help but mutter to himself:

Politicians are such a hassle; they always like to use alcohol as an excuse to make things happen.

If Yukino wakes up later, she absolutely must not be allowed to drink alcohol.

Xue's father remarked: "People from China really like to bring everything to the dinner table."

But that's fine too. After a few rounds of drinks, people will always open up a little.

Speaking of opening one's heart

Yes, Yukino absolutely must not touch alcohol!

At that moment, the two men, who had not exchanged a single word, reached a consensus!

However, neither of them knew this.

But after suddenly understanding, even the other person's serious gaze became kind.

The conversation began with a question from Xue's father.

"When did you come?"

"Just a short while ago."

"Oh~"

"Ah."

""

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was listening silently to the side, couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.

This isn't the right time to smile.

Thinking this, Yukinoshita Haruno turned her gaze to the television.

At that moment, she desperately hoped that a funny scene would appear on the TV program.

That way, she can use the excuse of not being able to hold it in to have a good laugh.

Unfortunately, the television program didn't feature any funny moments; instead, it was all about emotional manipulation.

Thus, without a reasonable excuse, Yang Nai could only silently endure it.

Even the cup in her hand trembled slightly.

Meanwhile, on Cheng Shi's side, the awkward conversation between the two men continued.

"I heard that you were late coming back this time because of school club activities?"

"Yes, I went to do volunteer work."

"Oh." Xue's father nodded.

"Hmm." Cheng Shi's expression was strange.

Did he just experience this scene again?

Upon hearing what Chengshi said, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Volunteer activities? Aren't those just for high school students to get extra points? Do you and Yukino even need those points?"

"No need for that. But anyway, staying at home or going somewhere is the same, so isn't it all the same?"

Upon hearing Cheng Shi's words, Yang Nai couldn't help but sigh, "What a great idea! Staying at home is just playing around, going anywhere is the same as playing around. If I had known this would happen, I would have gone too."

I'm a bit bored now that I'm free, so maybe going there will allow me to tease Yukino's two friends sooner.

(Yuihama Hikigaya, who is already at home: Achoo!)

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi turned to look at her: "You find it boring?"

"Yes, that's right." Yukinoshita Haruno nodded and said, "So? Is there any interesting place you want to go next?"

"Interested in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Suzuki family's spaceship?"

“Eh~” Yukinoshita Haruno immediately lost interest: “Isn’t that an invitation from the Suzuki family yesterday? We were going to go anyway, so what’s the point?”
