It's too much trouble for two people to share one bento box, so Ye Ziye decided to make two. That's also why she got up early this morning.

"Oh, I see... then I'll take Garfield out for a run."

Artoria pouted, didn't ask any further questions, picked up Garfield who was still sleeping, and walked straight out. This girl hadn't forgotten her responsibilities and was always dutiful every day.

"Ah."

Ye Ziye responded softly and began cooking. Although it was a bento for Ms. Kato, he didn't plan to make it too elaborate; he just wanted it to be as simple as usual.

Moreover, he didn't have any fancy ingredients; his family's circumstances didn't allow for it.

Time passed by, and Ye Ziye looked at the several extra bento boxes in front of him and fell into deep thought.

He seems to have done a bit too much...

I originally intended to just bring one extra portion for Ms. Kato, but then I remembered that Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama hadn't tried it yet, so I made two more portions.

Ye Ziye has always been a fair and just person. Since the Service Club members have been given the task, the Student Council members should naturally not be left out.

Before long, seven bento boxes appeared in front of him, and just one lunch had used up all the food he had at home.

Ye Ziye felt a little regretful. He always felt that he was burning himself to light up others, but he was never that kind of person.

He sighed softly, not dwelling on it. People can change, after all. He could just buy the food later and let Artoria pay less, since making so many bento boxes was his own idea.

Ye Zijun has always been fair and impartial.

"Ye Zi, I'm back!"

Just as Ye Ziye was pondering how to take these bento boxes with her, Artoria's voice came from outside and then reached inside.

Ye Ziye glanced at the time; it was seven o'clock. Artoria had been running for a full half hour. Seeing Garfield panting like a dog, he could imagine how intense the run must have been.

After silently mourning for Garfield for three seconds, Ye Ziye quietly spoke.

"Let's eat..."

Although I feel a little bad about making Garfield, this fat cat, get up early every day, it's all for his health!

Ye Ziye kept giving herself positive self-talk, gradually calming herself down.

"Ye Zi, why are there so many bento boxes today?"

Entering the living room, Artoria looked at the bento boxes on the table with some confusion, counting on her fingers how many she could eat if she actually started eating them.

"For someone else."

After explaining, Artoria nodded, finding nothing wrong with it. Ye Ziye's creations were exquisite, and it wouldn't be appropriate for her to enjoy them all by herself.

...

Moreover, while others can only enjoy it for one day, Artoria can eat Ye Ziye's cooking for three meals a day, and the occasional desserts are also handmade.

For some inexplicable reason, Altria felt a little smug and a bit happy.

After carrying the exhausted Garfield back to his den, Artoria stood under the air conditioner, which had just been installed yesterday and was now blowing plenty of air.

Running for such a long time in June, although not very tiring, was very hot, and Altria couldn't stand it.

However, before she could even enjoy the cool air, a blanket was draped over her.

"Don't turn on the air conditioner when you're sweating, or you'll easily catch a cold."

As she spoke, Ye Ziye pulled Altria to a spot away from the air conditioner.

He didn't know if a girl like Artoria would get sick, but it's always good to be careful; prevention is always better than cure.

Looking at the air conditioner, Artoria felt a little regretful, as she hadn't enjoyed it for very long. But Ye Ziye was doing it for her own good, and she could tell that.

So naturally she didn't say anything, obediently sat down in her seat, and began to enjoy her ordinary but exceptionally delicious breakfast.

This is the happiest time of the day for Artoria, who feels she could eat this for a lifetime without getting tired of it.

Chapter 212

Time passed slowly, and after a long daydream and a jumble of thoughts, the boring morning classes finally came to an end.

As usual, classmates who were close began to put their desks together, place various bento boxes on the desks, and start tasting each other's food.

Ye Ziye didn't understand the point of such behavior. People would put the best food in front of themselves and enjoy it alone, instead of taking it to the center and sharing it with others.

This is probably what they call a "plastic friendship." In comparison, his relationship with Kato Megumi is much more genuine.

Ms. Kato would take large pieces of meat from his bento box without hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, as if it were a perfectly normal thing to do.

If it were anyone else, Ye Ziye might dislike the bento and refuse to eat it, but if it were Ms. Kato, he wouldn't dislike it at all.

It's just that not being able to eat enough can be a headache sometimes. Ye Ziye's appetite is quite large now. Although it can't compare to Altria's, it's equivalent to the appetite of 15 normal people.

That's why he made a separate bento for Kato Megumi; it's always better to be full than not.

Perhaps Ms. Kato didn't expect him to have such a large appetite, after all, Ye Ziye's appearance is that of a frail scholar, and he seems to eat less than the average person.

As usual, Ms. Kato took out her bento box today, which contained some exquisite home-cooked meals that looked quite ordinary.

Then, Kato Megumi turned her gaze to Ye Ziye.

She likes to eat Ye Ziye's cooking, but unfortunately she can't eat it for every meal. But who knows, who can predict the future?

Ten years from now, she might be able to eat it every day, which is something she looks forward to.

Feeling Kato's gaze, Ye Ziye took a bento box out of his bag and placed it on her desk.

"I made this for you, have this for today."

Ye Ziye forced a smile because he was worried that Kato Megumi would misunderstand and think that he made a different bento box because he disliked it. He didn't want to be forgiven for no reason anymore.

Did you make an extra one?

Kato Megumi raised an eyebrow, looking somewhat surprised. She really hadn't expected this, but she didn't misunderstand anything; she just felt a warm feeling in her heart.

"Well, you really like my cooking, so I thought I'd make you some."

Ye Ziye offered an explanation, then opened his bento box. He wanted to finish his meal quickly so he could deliver food to the Service Department and the Student Council.

Today, in addition to being a chef, he also has to work as a food delivery driver.

"Thanks..."

Looking at the pink bento box in front of her, Kato Megumi smiled warmly. This wasn't the first time Ye Ziye had given her something, but this time she was especially happy.

The food in the bento box was cold, but Kato Megumi thought it would taste better than the hot food she had eaten at Yoko's house last time.

But she was also a little worried because she had prepared her own lunchbox, so now it was as if she had two lunchboxes.

She now wanted to eat Ye Ziye's cooking more than her own. Looking at the boy beside her, Kato Megumi suddenly had an idea.

"Ye Zi, would you like to try my bento?"

Kato Megumi knew that her bento box was definitely not as good as Yoko's, but she still wanted the boy to try her cooking.

Unlike other countries, island nations have the largest number of housewives. Most girls, after graduating from high school, will get married and become housewives if they do not plan to go to university.

Cooking is a skill that almost every girl learns during her school years.

Of course, this doesn't apply to rich girls like Kaguya Shinomiya.

Megumi Kato started learning to cook in junior high school, and by high school, she was basically making her own bento boxes.

In Shuchiin Academy, where young ladies from wealthy families abound, Kato Megumi's cooking skills are practically top-notch, a view she held even before she had tasted Yoko Yoh's cooking.

She remembered that Ye Ziye had never eaten anything she made, which made Kato Megumi feel a little regretful.

Perhaps in the future she won't need to cook for herself anymore, and Ye Ziye won't be able to taste this flavor, so now she wants him to try it.

"me?"

Ye Ziye was stunned. This was the first time he had ever had such a novel experience. Usually, he was the one cooking for others.

"Ok!"

Kato Megumi nodded vigorously. She was very serious, and she would accept it even if people said her cooking wasn't good. She felt that it was right to let the boy she liked eat what she made.

"Alright, give it to me."

Reaching out to take Kato Megumi's bento, Ye Ziye felt that she could probably eat two portions.

Thanks to the physical enhancement.

Like any other bento box, Kato Megumi's bento box contains small, exquisite, and varied items.

In fact, Ye Ziye never really understood what the point of such refinement was in terms of eating. The only purpose of eating was to fill one's stomach and satisfy the needs of life, so the so-called refinement was completely useless.

His bento boxes were always very rough, with two dishes on one side and rice on the other. The reason others thought they looked good was because they were shiny.

However, when Ye Ziye thought about how the bento box in front of her was made by Ms. Kato, she felt that there was nothing wrong with its exquisiteness; at least it looked very pleasing.

Without the usual understatement of a typical islander, Ye Ziye said "I'm starting," and under Ms. Kato's expectant gaze, she put a piece of sushi into her mouth.

The taste is quite ordinary, probably level 2 intermediate, a little better than the average person, but the satisfaction you feel while eating it elevates the taste to another level.

"How about it?"

Ms. Kato was looking forward to it, while Yoko was a little unaccustomed to it.

The last time he was looked at like that was when he was wearing the glasses that Ms. Kato had given him.

That kind of gaze makes one feel uneasy.

"It's delicious."

Ye Zijun, who never lies, was not lying. He really thought it was delicious, but not in terms of taste.

"That's good."

Kato Megumi didn't cheer with joy; she seemed more relieved.

She knew in her heart that this bento box was definitely not as delicious as Ye Ziye's, so she thought it was just a polite remark to comfort her, but she was already very satisfied.

She must be the first person to say something like that to someone.

Thinking of this, Kato Megumi couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, like the early summer sun, warm but not scorching, just right, making people feel comfortable.
