"I need to go to the supermarket again to buy some watermelon, cherries, or something, because we don't have any at home."

Ye Ziye always remembered what an old man had told him in his past life.

"Even people who hate summer will be happy to eat cool watermelon and cherries."

Ye Ziye always remembered this sentence because it was very useful; it was a truth.

"Cherry and watermelon?"

Artoria's ahoge (cowlick) stood up. In the island nation, these two fruits are not cheap, second only to strawberries.

Previously, the two of them would choose apples and oranges to supplement their vitamins, so Ye Ziye's sudden request to buy watermelons and cherries really startled her.

Actually, Artoria also loves to eat, but unfortunately, her financial situation doesn't allow it.

She is indeed a young lady from a wealthy family, but the allowance she receives from her family is limited. The exam results have just been released, and she hasn't yet sent out her request for an increase in allowance.

Artoria had just bought groceries from the supermarket a few days ago, and now her wallet was completely empty. She could only rely on Ye Ziye to cook for her to make ends meet.

Even rich girls have their troubles when they're broke.

Looking at Artoria's expression, Ye Ziye understood everything and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

"Don't worry, the watermelon and cherries are on me, as a way of making up for it."

Watermelons and cherries are expensive, but Ye Ziye's salary is high now, so even if he buys them every day, it won't be a burden for him.

"really?"

Artoria's eyes brightened slightly. She had never blamed Ye Ziye, but if she could enjoy some delicious fruit, she wouldn't mind blaming him.

"Of course it's true. Let's go. The new products haven't been out for long, so they should be at their freshest. They won't be fresh if we wait any longer."

"Ok!"

With a spirited reply, Artoria straddled the bicycle.

This is a conversation between two people in their daily lives, unlike the awkwardness of other teenagers. It's more about the mundane things that adults talk about, like food, oil, salt, and household items.

However, Ye Ziye usually makes the decisions, while Artoria just nods in agreement. This girl knows nothing about this kind of thing.

But through practice, she has now become quite adept at washing dishes.

Midsummer always represents memories for some people; they reminisce about the past and their youth. However, some people may be living in the memories that others yearn for.

Ye Ziye and Artoria rode side by side down the street, keeping close together so as not to disturb others.

For some reason, Altria, who usually rides very fast, slowed down today. Ye Ziye, though puzzled, also didn't ride very fast.

The sunlight wasn't too scorching on my face; it must be the Artoria sunscreen that's working.

"Ye Zi, can we continue living together forever?"

The girl's voice rang out softly. Ye Ziye didn't turn around, but looked straight ahead and slowly spoke.

"Probably."

During this long summer, we can eat mung beans, cherries, and watermelons, and enjoy ourselves in every sense of the word.

Ye Ziye believed that this pleasant life would continue in the future, and she thought that Artoria felt the same way.

Chapter 263

It's Wednesday, July 23rd, and it's noon.

These past two days have been a pleasant summer vacation. Yukino Yukinoshita didn't contact him during this time, and Yoko took a good rest at home.

But now there is an even more serious problem: the power is out at home.

A summer vacation without air conditioning is an incomplete summer vacation.

Ye Ziye and Altria had just finished lunch when they received a notification from their landlord that there would be a one-hour power outage due to construction.

The two were sitting on the sofa. Artoria was holding a small fan and reluctantly fanning herself, while Ye Ziye was enjoying himself.

This is what he won, because due to the power outage, the fan in the house is now the only thing that can bring coolness.

However, there was only one fan in the house, which meant that only one person could enjoy the coolness while the other person had to do the hard work.

After receiving news of the power outage, the two had a deep discussion about the problem and finally decided to use rock-paper-scissors, a fair and just method, to decide who would fan the wind and who would enjoy it.

As expected, Ye Ziye, who possessed the system, won a perfect victory, while Artoria was reduced to a mere tool for fanning herself.

Ye Ziye had no pity for the woman, and closed his eyes to enjoy the hard-won breeze.

To be fair, Artoria's control of the force was excellent; the breeze felt very comfortable on my face. However, it would be even better if there were air conditioning now.

"Saber, aren't your hands tired?"

"Not sour..."

The girl shook her head vigorously. Although she was very unwilling, she believed that accepting defeat was a virtue of martial arts practitioners, and she would carry out the task properly.

"That's good."

After asking the question, Ye Ziye felt that his question was a bit redundant. How could someone who swings his sword thousands of times a day feel tired just from fanning himself?

For some reason, Ye Ziye felt like an emperor. A beautiful young girl was fanning him; apart from the emperor, probably no one else could enjoy such treatment.

Suddenly, Artoria paused in her movements, as if she had thought of something, and the serious expression on her face changed.

"Yezi, there seem to be two pieces of watermelon left in the refrigerator that haven't been eaten."

When this topic came up, Ye Ziye was also taken aback. It seemed that there really was such a thing, and there was also a bowl of washed cherries in the bowl, which she had bought when she came back from school that day.

The two ate very quickly, finishing more than half of the watermelon and most of the cherries on the first day. As a result, Artoria's stomach started to rumble on the second day.

Because those two days happened to be a girl's special period, even someone as powerful as Artoria couldn't escape the pain.

So Ye Ziye locked the cherries and watermelon in the refrigerator, thinking that they could eat them together when Artoria's condition improved.

But plans can't always keep up with changes. There's no electricity today, so the refrigerator can't work either. Plus, it's very hot today, so I don't know if the fruit will be able to be preserved properly.

"But your stomach..."

Ye Ziye frowned and glanced at Altria's belly. Yesterday, the girl had no energy at all and, unusually, hadn't gone for a run due to health reasons.

Altria has just started to recover today, but if she eats ice-cold watermelon, it could easily relapse.

"It's ok!"

Artoria's eyes shone brightly as she gave Ye Ziye a thumbs-up. As a martial artist, she loved the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife.

Although her stomach would hurt a lot, Ye Ziye would make her some stomach-soothing porridge later, and she could also enjoy the taste of summer watermelon.

After glancing at Altria a few times, Ye Ziye nodded silently.

"Alright then, go and take out the rest of the food, but it can't be eaten while it's still cold; it has to be at room temperature."

"Ok!"

Artoria nodded vigorously, threw away the small fan in her hand, and ran towards the kitchen.

Seeing the height the girl jumped, Ye Ziye finally understood why the ice cream he placed high up was always stolen. It turned out that Artoria didn't need any tools to reach it.

A moment later, Artoria slowly walked back from the kitchen, her small hands carrying many things.

Two slices of watermelon covered with plastic wrap, and cherries in a bowl, also covered with plastic wrap.

Artoria placed the items on the table, then picked up the small fan from the floor and continued to fan Ye Ziye.

She's a very principled person and won't change the bet because of anything. Besides, she plans to listen to Ye Ziye and obediently wait for the watermelon to cool down.

Ye Ziye was very satisfied with Altria's performance. It was a pity that he didn't know how to use the ability to make objects heat up faster, otherwise he would have made the watermelon return to room temperature by now.

Ye Ziye picked up the watermelon, thought for a moment, and then put it down again. He decided to wait for Artoria to eat it together; he didn't dislike eating watermelon at room temperature.

Besides, isn't watermelon meant to be eaten by many people?

Although she enjoys solitude, Ye Ziye does not have the habit of always acting alone.

Artoria noticed Ye (Li Nuohao)'s little thoughts, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she unconsciously swung her fan a little more forcefully.

The two of them were enjoying this rare moment of leisure, and the watermelon and cherries on the table looked especially bright red.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of a cell phone vibrating.

Artoria subconsciously looked at Ye Ziye, because she usually didn't use her phone in the living room.

Ye Ziye sighed, took out his phone from his pocket. It was a message from Yukino Yukinoshita, the first message he had received during this holiday, and it contained only one sentence.

Meet at the mall.

Upon seeing this message, Ye Ziye knew that Yukino Yukinoshita had found a solution to the request, which also meant that his leisurely summer vacation was coming to an end ahead of schedule.

Chapter 264

"Saber, I need to go out for a bit. You'll probably be home alone this afternoon."

Putting his phone back in his pocket, Ye Ziye sat up from the sofa. Based on his understanding of Yukino Yukinoshita, the girl should already be waiting at the mall, otherwise she wouldn't have sent this message.

Furthermore, Yukino Yukinoshita will likely be waiting outside so that Yoko Yo can see her.

To prevent the beautiful girl from getting sunburned, Ye Ziye felt he needed to hurry to the mall; he didn't even know when he had become so kind.

"What about the watermelon?"

Ye Ziye paused, then picked up a slice of watermelon from the table.

“I’ll eat on the way, but you have to remember that you can only eat the food on the table when it’s at room temperature, otherwise you’ll have a stomachache and I won’t be able to make you a stomach-soothing porridge right away.”

The reason he took the watermelon was not because he was greedy, but because he was worried that Artoria would eat too much. If she ate too much, her stomach would hurt even without the watermelon being warmed up.

"Yeah! I understand."

Artoria sat on the sofa, holding a small fan, without asking Ye Ziye where he was going. It didn't matter; the boy would eventually return.

"The same goes for cherries; they need to be cooled down before you can eat them."

Since eating too many cherries won't cause stomach aches, Ye Ziye didn't grab a handful before leaving; he left them all for Altria.

He felt he was being a bit long-winded, like an old man, but it didn't matter. It would be troublesome if Artoria had a stomachache.

"it is good..."

Artoria opened her mouth but didn't speak, only looking at Ye Ziye with her eyes. She didn't actually want to be home alone.

Just like last time when Ye Ziye and the student council members went out with her, she liked that.
