Actually, the three of them had already met during their last meal together, but they weren't quite familiar with each other yet.

"Hello."

When Shinomiya Kaguya returned the greeting, Fujiwara Chika, instead of being overly casual, politely gave a slight bow.

This girl is quite sensible about the nuances of her actions and knows when to be polite.

"Okay, I'll start cooking now."

After the three girls finished greeting each other, Ye Ziye put her apron back on and prepared to start cooking.

The small kitchen was now crowded with people. He regretted it a little; he should have firmly refused when Fujiwara Chika offered to help.

"Ye Zi, what should we do?"

Kaguya Shinomiya spoke first, her wine-red eyes seemingly curious about everything in the kitchen, subtly glancing around. For this heiress, the kitchen was truly a completely unfamiliar territory. 8

"President, could you please set out the plates I need? Saber, could you please wash the vegetables for me?"

Ye Ziye ordered the two heiresses around without hesitation, showing no pity whatsoever. In his view, once inside the kitchen, it was necessary to abandon one's previous status.

"And what about me?"

Seeing that the other two people had tasks, Fujiwara Chika couldn't help but ask curiously, 0

This wasn't because she was particularly diligent; it was simply because she wanted to play. She hadn't spent much time in the kitchen growing up.

"As for Secretary Fujiwara..."2

Ye Ziye stroked his chin, momentarily at a loss. If he were to assign Fujiwara Chika any important task, then this meal could essentially be over. 7

"You can just stand there."

"What...?"

Fujiwara Chika seemed a little deflated; her straight back slumped down. She had thought she was going to have some important mission.

"No, I want to help with the cooking!"

Fujiwara Chika straightened up again. She wasn't the kind of person who would give up easily. Most importantly, she had finally come to the kitchen, so of course she wanted to have some fun.

With Chef Ye Ziye by her side, she wasn't worried about making any mistakes.

"No, Secretary Fujiwara, your job is very important. Do you know what the most important position is in every operation? It's the commander. Without someone to supervise, it's easy for mistakes to happen in a multi-person operation."

Ye Ziye's expression remained unchanged. In fact, he didn't know what he was saying either; he was just rambling on to appease Fujiwara Chika.

He was even a little uneasy about letting this girl do the dishwashing job.

Seeing that Fujiwara Chika was still hesitating, Ye Ziye gave Shinomiya Kaguya a look. In this situation, the student council president needed to step in.

Kaguya Shinomiya immediately understood and said from the side...

"That's right, it seems the kitchen needs someone to take charge..."

Kaguya Shinomiya, who doesn't seem to lie often, appeared somewhat unsure of herself, and her eyes darted around nervously.

But that's enough. After all, the person Fujiwara Chika trusts and likes the most is Shinomiya Kaguya. Anyway, Ye Ziye doesn't quite understand the friendship between the two girls.

"Alright then, I'll keep a close eye on you guys. Yezi, don't slack off!"

Fujiwara Chika stood with her hands on her hips, looking as if she had truly become a commander.

Ye Ziye forcefully suppressed the urge to push Fujiwara Chika out, and began cooking with a normal expression, while pondering in her heart whether or not to move.

Fujiwara Chika already knows the address of this house, so it's not advisable to stay any longer.

"Ye Zi, how should we put the plate?"

As she pondered this in her heart, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly moved closer to Yoko and asked her in a low voice.

She didn't really know much about the skills of being a good wife and mother.

"Just stay by my side. I'll cook a dish, and you just take out a plate. It's that simple."

Ye Ziye naturally knew that Shinomiya Kaguya didn't cook often, so he wouldn't assign her any difficult tasks; it was just a formality...

These girls are all completely uneducated and have never lifted a finger.

"Yes, I will do my best."

Kaguya Shinomiya nodded, her expression surprisingly tense. To her, this didn't feel like work; it felt more like a practical activity.

Ye Ziye nodded as well, glanced at Altria who was already diligently washing vegetables, and finally began to cook.

This is one of the joys of cooking; the serious expression on that cute face is always so endearing.

Smoke billowed, and the exhaust fan worked tirelessly. Fujiwara Chika seemed to have truly become the leader, starting to give orders, though she seemed to be deliberately targeting Ye Ziye.

"Leaf, speed it up!"

"Ye Zi, make some more braised pork, I like it."

"leaf!"

The continuous sound echoed in his ears, and Ye Ziye swore that this was the most he had ever heard his own name in his entire life.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have tried to get along with Fujiwara Chika back then. This girl is really too clingy now.

It seems that their relationship deepened after that cultural performance, and it was after that time that he started to feel increasingly overwhelmed when facing Fujiwara Chika.

Automatically silencing Fujiwara Chika's voice, Ye Ziye poured all the food from the pot onto the plate handed to her by Shinomiya Kaguya, and the aroma instantly filled the air.

"The leaves smell so good!"

Kaguya Shinomiya, standing to the side, took a deep breath. She had been watching Ye Ziye cook the whole time, and apart from the smooth movements that had a strange beauty to them, there was nothing else that was different.

However, this dish appears to be emitting a faint glow, which is quite magical.

"Secretary Fujiwara, it's up to you now. Take the plates to the table, and then, let's eat."

This time, Fujiwara Chika didn't show any dissatisfaction and readily agreed. She wasn't a lazy girl; she had done things like serving dishes at home before.

"Dinner's ready!"

Chapter 337

At noon, the cicadas chirped loudly, and the blazing sunlight was particularly dazzling.

In the small room, the four people sat on one side of the table.

When she was alone with Ye Ziye, Artoria always sat very casually, but today, perhaps because there were guests, her posture became more dignified.

Fujiwara Chika remained as unpretentious as ever, and her familiarity with Ye Ziye made her never seem reserved.

As for Kaguya Shinomiya, she naturally maintained her haughty demeanor, her wine-red eyes sparkling as if she were pondering why ordinary food could produce a glowing effect.

"Ye Zi, what you made is so delicious! I really hope school starts soon."

Fujiwara Chika picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into her mouth, covering her cheek as she mumbled that if school started, she could get Ye Ziye's lunch every day.

Ye Ziye nodded silently. He really didn't want school to start, because then a lot of trouble would happen.

"Ye Zi, why don't you come work as a chef at my house!"

Fujiwara Chika made an inappropriate request, leaving everyone baffled.

“If you can pay me one million yen a month, I might consider it.”

"One million!?"

Fujiwara Chika's eyes widened, her cute face filled with disbelief. She held up her fingers as if counting how many months' allowance she would need to add up to a million.

Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes lit up. A million dollars might be a pipe dream for others, but for her, a million dollars was just a number.

For such a low price, it's incredibly cost-effective to have Ye Ziye become a full-time chef.

Moreover, she spends every day with Ye Ziye, and the mission can be completed. She is quite confident in her appearance, not to mention that she also has the secret techniques of the Shinomiya family.

It's difficult to make plans during the summer vacation, but her plans will have to be fully implemented when school starts.

The lack of progress over the previous semester had somewhat damaged her self-esteem, and seeing how rapidly Ye Ziye was developing relationships with other girls made her feel quite threatened.

Kaguya Shinomiya glanced at Ye Ziye, but ultimately didn't say anything. Saying such a thing would feel like a confession, which was absolutely unacceptable to her.

"Ye Zi, you're such a heartless businessman..."

Fujiwara Chika shrank back, dismissing the idea of ​​hiring Ye Ziye as her private chef. One million yen was really too much; it would take a long time to save up her allowance.

Rather than doing that, I might as well just wait for school to start and mooch Ye Ziye's lunch.

Artoria ate her meal in silence, occasionally glancing up at the others, feeling quite smug.

She never expected Ye Ziye to be so valuable. One million yuan would be almost a year's living expenses for her, but now she can eat a meal worth one million yuan every day, and all she has to do is wash the dishes.

This gave Artoria a sense of superiority, a sense of superiority over the other girls. Unfortunately, she wasn't the type to show off, otherwise it would definitely be her turn to speak now.

Altria glanced at Ye Ziye furtively, but remained silent. She was now ready to enjoy the million-dollar meal.

"Black? This is a special price for you."

Ye Ziye said calmly that this was indeed a discounted price for Fujiwara Chika; he wouldn't have offered such a high price to anyone else.

Fujiwara Chika pouted, not responding to the conversation. She vowed that once she had money, she would make Ye Ziye cook for her every day.

"By the way, Yezi, did you go to the fireworks festival in Japan before?"

"I went, with Saber."

Ye Ziye answered truthfully, saying that he thought it was only because Fujiwara Chika went to Hawaii that the two of them would have a high chance of running into each other at the fireworks festival.

"The fireworks display must have been so much fun... It's a shame I didn't get to see it..."

"Please don't say that in a wronged tone. You must have had more fun in Hawaii than at the fireworks festival."

Ye Ziye relentlessly made sarcastic remarks; this was one of the few moments he felt truly satisfied when facing Fujiwara Chika.

"No, I actually prefer to hang out with the student council members."

Looking at the unsure Fujiwara Chika, Ye Ziye knew that the girl was lying again, something she was never good at.

"By the way, what did you guys do at the fireworks festival?"

This time, Fujiwara Chika didn't ask Yoko Yoru about the question, but instead asked Artoria.

She knew that if she asked Ye Ziye, she would only get a few words in response, which wouldn't convey much. That's why she asked Artoria, which offered more room for imagination.

Kaguya Shinomiya was also listening intently. She hadn't gone to the fireworks festival either, not just because she didn't want to, but more so because she couldn't go.
