My Cartoonist Girlfriend

"Eri, we're back~~~"

Seeing this scene, Asakura Feng showed an expected smile. He knew without thinking that his mother would definitely do this.

Holding Asakura Reiko in her arms, Eriri said with a smile, "Aunt Reiko, welcome back. Did you have fun?"

"Of course I am happy. I have been to many places!"

After letting go of Eriri, Asakura Reiko looked at her son beside her and said, "Xiaofeng doesn't even look disappointed at all. That's really boring."

"I guessed it all. How could I not know your personality, mom?" Asakura Feng looked at his mother helplessly, then went to his father who had followed behind and took a suitcase.

"Let's go, the taxi has been called."

After leaving the airport and taking the arranged taxi, the four of them went straight back to the apartment.

Asakura Reiko came back here after half a month and started checking the hygiene of the house as soon as she came in.

"Well, not bad, not bad. The hygiene is very good and the house is kept very clean."

After checking inside and out, and finding that the pillows and blankets were missing from Eriri's room and were all in her son's room, Asakura Reiko returned to the living room calmly.

"Okay, next is what we agreed to do, I'll bring you some delicious food!"

Soon, looking at the sealed packages of things wrapped in red seasonings that Asakura Reiko took out from the suitcase, Eriri showed a puzzled expression.

As for Asakura Kaede, everything was within her expectations and she swallowed her saliva.

Spicy rabbit head, delicious.

Chapter 184: Bunny is so cute, add more spicy (3/3)

Holding a packet in her hand, Ying Lili couldn't guess what was inside because she couldn't understand Chinese. She only knew that it must be very spicy.

"What...is this?"

Asakura Reiko knew that Eriri would react like this, and said with a smile: "We bought these when we were in Chengdu, Sichuan. They are delicious!"

“It feels so spicy...”

As Eriri spoke, she looked at Asakura Kaede beside her: "Kaede-kun, do you know what this is?"

"Yes, I ate a lot of it when I traveled with my parents."

The whole family can eat spicy food, and Asakura Kaede has been trained to eat spicy food since childhood.

However, he didn't intend to tell Erili directly, instead he said: "Don't worry, this is definitely delicious, and it's not a bug or anything, Erili, you can try it first."

Half-believing and half-doubting, Eriri watched Asakura Kaede take the bag and open it. He first put on disposable gloves for Eriri and then handed one to her.

After removing some of the pepper seeds on the surface, Ying Lili finally got a rough idea of ​​what it was: "Is this... the head of something? Can I eat this?"

"Of course you can eat it."

Seeing that Eriri was afraid to eat, Asakura Reiko immediately encouraged her, "Eriri, you have to try everything. You can't just judge delicious food by its appearance. You can only know it by tasting it yourself! Xiaofeng, help Eriri break it open and teach her how to eat it."

"OK, I'm good at this."

Asakura Feng nodded, put on gloves without hesitation, took the spicy rabbit head, broke it directly by holding the teeth, and then handed the lower part to Eriri.

"Come, have a taste. This is the part with the most meat."

After taking it, although it smelled very fragrant and spicy, making Ying Lili drool, she still didn't dare to eat it.

"Um, Feng-kun, can you tell me what it is? This shouldn't be a snake or something, right?"

"Don't worry, this is a very common food in China." Asakura Feng said with a smile, "Try it first. Whether you think it tastes good or not, I will tell you the answer."

Ying Lili nodded, opened her mouth carefully, and took a small bite.

“It’s delicious! It’s very spicy, but it’s delicious!”

Although it was a bit too spicy, Ying Lili still couldn't help but eat it. Sometimes eating spicy food is like this, you know you can't stand it, but you still can't help wanting to eat it.

Soon, without Asakura Kaede saying anything, Eriri had almost finished eating it, and in addition to the meat, she also ate the tongue.

After quickly drinking the yogurt she had prepared, Ying Lili asked, "Feng Jun, Aunt Lingzi, what on earth is this?"

Asakura Feng looked at his mother, who just smiled and nodded. Asakura Feng then said, "This is a rabbit head. It is a very famous snack in Sichuan, spicy rabbit head."

"...well?"

Ying Lili was stunned for a moment, and took a long time to react: "Rabbit...rabbit head? Could it be that rabbit's, rabbit head?"

Seeing Asakura Kaede and Asakura Reiko nodding at the same time, Eriri was completely dumbfounded.

"Rabbit...Rabbit is so cute, how can I eat it?!"

Before she could finish her words, Asakura Feng broke off a piece of the remaining rabbit head and stuffed it into Eriri's mouth.

Although she felt repulsive after knowing the truth, the constant taste in her mouth was unbearable for Ying Lili, so she finished it bit by bit.

On the other side, Asakura Takaichi, who was drinking tea, didn't say a word. He watched the whole process and smiled bitterly.

After eating, Ying Lili looked at the pile of small bones in front of her, licked her lips, and fell into deep thought.

"Rabbit...Rabbit...It tastes good with chili..."

In addition to spicy rabbit heads, Reiko Asakura also brought back spicy rabbit legs, and some other snacks like beef jerky.

After taking out all the things, Asakura Reiko said with a smile: "Oh, this is a rare trip, and I really had a lot of fun!"

Ying Lili didn't listen to these words. She was still immersed in the dilemma of how cute the rabbit was and how delicious the food with chili peppers was.

This was the first time Asakura Kaede had seen Eriri like this, but it was understandable. After all, many elementary and junior high schools had places for raising small animals to cultivate students' love, and rabbits were definitely among them.

But Asakura Kaede doesn’t have such concerns. Rabbits are cute and delicious, isn’t that even better?

Eriri came to her senses and saw Asakura Kaede picked up a rabbit head and started to chew it. After a brief struggle, the desire for food finally overcame her love for rabbits.

"Mr. Feng, give me some!"

"Get another one yourself."

"It's too spicy..."

There was no other choice but to give some of the rabbit heads on hand to Ying Lili. Fortunately, there were still a lot left, enough for them to eat for a long time.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and drank the yogurt in the cup. Asakura Feng looked at his mother and said, "Mom, Aunt Sayuri and Uncle Spencer will be here later. Do you want anything for dinner?"

Asakura Reiko smiled and asked, "Dinner, Xiaofeng, will you and Eriri prepare it?"

"Of course, you just came back today, I can't let you, mom, do it."

Asakura Reiko nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, there is a store you can go to, Xiaofeng. I know the owner there. I ordered some rabbit meat from her before. It's not this kind of cooked one, but a whole one. You can buy other ones, and then mom will make you a spicy rabbit dish to try!"

Well, it seems that I have a quarrel with Tutu today.

Of course, Asakura Feng readily agreed to this and went out to buy groceries without wasting any time.

After buying a lot of ingredients and picking up the rabbit meat from the store where my mother had ordered it, Asakura Kaede came back with her hands full.

When they came back, the Sawamura couple also arrived. Asakura Reiko was with Sayuri Sawamura, showing each other the photos they took on this trip with their phones. Eriri was also on the other side, watching curiously.

As for the two middle-aged men, they were holding cigarettes in their hands, smoking, drinking tea and chatting from a distance.

Seeing Asakura Feng coming back, Eriri immediately stood up and went over to help Asakura Feng carry a bag: "Feng Jun, what did you buy?"

"I bought quite a lot. I saw some good ribs and some really good steaks in the supermarket, so I bought them all."

I looked at the time, it’s half past three, so I can start getting ready to have fun.

Watching the two busying themselves in the kitchen, Asakura Reiko smiled and whispered, "I was worried that these two kids would become lazy after living out on their own, but now it seems that's not the case at all. Sayuri, you should let them go too, Xiaofeng is very good to Eriri."

"Of course I feel relieved."

Sayuri Sawamura nodded and said, "Reiko, you probably don't know yet, right? Xiao Feng asked me for help before."

The two ladies lowered their voices and whispered to each other.

Chapter 185 School Starts (1/3)

In a voice that Asakura Kaede and Eriri couldn't hear, Sayuri Sawamura told Reiko Asakura about the time Asakura Kaede asked her for help.

After hearing this, Asakura Reiko showed an extremely surprised expression.

"Oh my, I really didn't expect this."

Turning her head and secretly glancing at her son, Asakura Reiko said with a smile, "It seems that what Xiaofeng said before was indeed correct. It's not that he didn't understand, he just didn't bother to fall in love before."

Sayuri Sawamura also laughed: "I can already foresee how surprised Eriri will be. I hope she won't lose control of her emotions by then."

Sayuri Sawamura was 100% sure that Eriri had not thought of these things at all. But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. Eriri is now immersed in a happy atmosphere all day long and is busy drawing comics. It is really unlikely that she would think of it.

But it doesn’t matter if you can’t think of it, as long as one of the two of you has such an idea.

When lunch was halfway through being prepared, Kaede Asakura had finished processing the rabbit meat, and then Reiko Asakura began to show off her cooking skills.

"Hehe, Xiaofeng and Eriri have indeed made a lot of progress these days, but you still have a lot to learn. Today I will give you some guidance." Taking the apron from Asakura Feng and putting it on, Asakura Reiko said confidently, "Look carefully and learn well, okay?"

That being said, they don’t eat rabbit meat very often, so is it really necessary to take it so seriously?

I'm talking about you, Eriri.

At this time, Ying Lili found a small notebook and a pen from somewhere, and looked like she was studying seriously. She had never been so serious when studying before!

But to be honest, Asakura Kaede really can't catch up with her mother's craftsmanship, so it's understandable that Eriri wants to learn it.

After dinner was ready, the two families sat together and started eating happily. Apart from the interesting things about the Asakura couple's travels, the topics at the table mostly focused on Asakura Kaede and Eriri.

Sayuri Sawamura looked at the two and said, "School will start in a few days. Will the pressure be greater then?"

Ying Lili shook her head and said, "No, we are basically used to the speed of comic drawing now. Feng Jun and I estimated that one chapter a week is not a problem, and we still have manuscripts on hand!"

Asakura Feng then said: "That's right, I will always consider the progress well, and I will also pay attention to studying, and I will not fall behind in grades."

Seeing Asakura Kaede's reassurance again, Sayuri Sawamura felt a little relieved.

"But, Xiao Feng, you also have your own light novel work. If you add it all up, wouldn't that be too much for you?"

Asakura Kaede is already certain to be her future son-in-law, and Sayuri Sawamura naturally cares about him. She has to help Eriri draw comics, take care of her own light novels, and even study. Especially Asakura Kaede's grades are very good, if his grades fluctuate later, it will not be good.

Even Eriri couldn't help but look at Asakura Kaede after hearing it.

Shaking her head, Asakura Feng said calmly, "Don't worry, Aunt Sayuri. The work of writing light novels is not as hard as you might think. Light novels are not like comics, where you have to submit manuscripts regularly every week. Even if my progress is slower than it is now, I am still more diligent than many light novel writers. It has only been about a year since my debut, but I have already published five volumes and submitted the sixth volume."

Five or six volumes a year, this is not the result of Asakura Kaede working at full capacity, but it is definitely more diligent than most light novel writers. From what Sayuri Sawamura knows, many light novel writers may not publish even one volume a year, which is simply slacking off.

Even Kamachi Hema, a well-known typing machine in the industry, only writes two or three volumes a year on average, and at most four volumes a year.

As expected, the physiques of light novel writers cannot be generalized.

After dinner, both parents left without staying long, leaving Asakura Kaede and Eriri alone at home again.

However, under Eriri's pitiful gaze, Asakura Feng showed no mercy, patted her head and said: "Okay, in order to relax well later, keep working hard today!"

"Woo... I knew it would be like this!"

Although Asakura Kaede is very strict in terms of work, he did allow Eriri to relax in the two days before school started. In addition to playing games at home, he also took her shopping and bought her several new clothes.

Then, the first day of school finally arrived.

Urged by the alarm clock, the two got up on time.

Pulling open the curtains, Asakura Feng stretched out his body, looked at the sunny sky outside the window and said, "The weather is very good today."

Behind her, Eriri, who was still sitting on the bed and yawning, said, "But the temperature still hasn't dropped..."

"Eri, if you want to feel the coolness of autumn, you can wait for more than a month. However, the temperature will not be as hot as the summer vacation."

"I hope so."

Ying Lili nodded, slowly got down from the bed, opened the closet, took out her clothes and put them on.

Thanks to my early bedtimes and early rises for some time, I didn’t oversleep on the first day of school today and I felt very energetic.

After washing up, because it was the first day of school, Eriri sat in front of the dressing table for an extra half an hour. Only after making sure that there were no problems with her hairstyle and face did she leave the room.

In the living room, Asakura Kaede had already prepared breakfast and lunch boxes. Eriri happily came over and sat down, picked up a slice of the sandwich and started eating.

"Hey, Feng-jun, school has finally started!"

"Looks like he's quite happy."
