Natsume Takashi's Youth Love Song

Page 18

"I know, Natsume."

Zhuo nodded, turned and walked into the forest.

Looking at Zhuo's leaving back, Natsume's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and he found that he kind of liked this feeling.

But then, looking at the big fish in his hand, he couldn't help but feel distressed. Such a big fish, isn't it easy to handle?

"As for the fish head, we can add these mushrooms to make soup, and as for the rest of the fish body... how about we grill the fish and then boil it?"

Thinking of this, Natsume nodded and made the decision.

Then, they began to make the preliminary preparations for processing such a big fish.

Chapter 29: How embarrassing it is to be in adolescence

After processing the fish, Natsume started to grill the fish body. It took an hour, and only after making sure that most of it was cooked, did he take the fish down and put it into the big pot.

After adding seasonings, chili peppers and other things, we can start cooking after waiting for Lingzi and Zhuo to arrive.

"In this way, it only takes half an hour to have dinner."

Looking at what he had in his hand, Natsume showed a satisfied expression on his face.

A little contented.

You know what, since Natsume started working in a Chinese restaurant, he has learned a lot more dishes. Otherwise, with Natsume's previous cooking skills, he would probably only be able to boil fish.

Because school was about to start, the restaurant owner gave Natsume a holiday, allowing him to have a good rest before school started and come back to work after school started.

"Are you going to start school again?"

Thinking of this, Natsume took out his junior high school books and began to review.

Although he had finished junior high school before coming to this world, but... after all, there was a gap of fifty years between the times, so it was normal to have some differences.

After opening the book and reading for a while, Natsume couldn't help but become speechless, because the book in his hand was too clean.

"This Lingzi, did you really listen carefully in class? Why don't you have any notes in the book?"

Natsume couldn't help but complain.

That's right, the book in Natsume's hand was lent to him by Reiko. Before borrowing the book, Reiko vowed that her grades were among the best in the whole school.

"Now it seems that there is indeed a ranking, but I guess it's not directly at the bottom, right?"

Natsume complained.

Looking at the clean appearance of the book in his hand, Natsume really thinks it is very possible.

Of course, this does not affect Natsume's review.

the other side.

After leaving Natsume's cabin, Reiko felt a little embarrassed, because she never expected that her little thoughts were discovered by Natsume?

"Damn it, you're just a Natsume, and you dare to talk to me like this?"

Lingzi showed an angry expression, but then she didn't care about it anymore. However, the redness on her face still did not disappear.

"Really? We've only known each other for a few days? How dare you say you know me so well?"

Reiko was a little shy, because if this was the case, one could imagine how much attention Natsume had paid to her during this period of time.

"This guy...Isn't he really in love with me?"

Thinking of this, Lingzi felt a little embarrassed, because this was really a bit embarrassing. This was the first time in her life that she was treated like this by a boy.

You know, in her previous life, she had always been looked at differently because of her abnormalities, and this was also the case at school.

"Are we still going to Natsume's place for dinner tonight?"

Thinking of going to Natsume's house for dinner, Reiko subconsciously licked her lips, revealing a hint of aftertaste, because the food made by Natsume was really delicious.

Although Reiko also knew that Natsume's food was not of the highest quality and was only at the level of home cooking, but... eating at Natsume's house gave her a sense of home.

This is what Lingzi likes, and this is why Lingzi is willing to eat there.

"Humph, I went to see Zhuo, not Natsume. Yes, that's right, that's it."

Lingzi nodded to herself, using this statement to convince herself.

Although she knew in her heart that this was not the case, she still needed an excuse. As long as she had an excuse, she would feel at ease.

"Want to take anything with you?"

As Reiko was wandering on the street, this thought flashed through her mind. Looking at the dazzling array of things on the street, Reiko was also thinking, what should I bring for Natsume?

"Dingling bell~~~"

At this moment, a pleasant sound of wind chimes rang out on the street.

"Ok?"

When Lingzi heard this, her eyes instantly lit up. Looking at the wind chimes hanging in a small shop in front of her, Lingzi thought that this would be a good gift.

“The key is that it’s not expensive.”

Reiko nodded seriously.

"It's decided. I'll give this thing to Natsume!"

He strode towards the shop.

A few minutes later, there was a small gift box in Lingzi's hand.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Natsume looked at the time on his watch and put down the book in his hand after confirming that it was almost time to cook.

After putting the books away, Natsume started cooking.

One pot was used to cook fish soup, and the remaining pot was used to boil fish. Soon, the fragrance filled the hut.

At the same time, there was a full pot of white rice steaming on the side.

"Done. Now, we can wait for Lingzi and Zhuo to arrive."

Natsume looked at the scene in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Natsume, who was sitting here, looked at the pot in front of him and the book in his hand, waiting for Reiko and Zhuo to arrive.

About forty minutes later, Reiko's carefree voice was heard outside Natsume's cabin.

"Natsume!!! I'm coming to see you."

"This Reiko."

Hearing Reiko's voice, Natsume shook his head helplessly. After putting down the book in his hand, he walked out and saw Reiko waving at him outside the fence.

"Come in quickly. You know my fence is not locked."

Natsume looked at Reiko standing outside the fence, waiting for him to open the door, and couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and said unhappily.

"Oh, I'm afraid of disturbing you, Natsume."

After hearing what Natsume said, Reiko also smiled brightly.

"Disturbing me?"

Natsume was stunned for a moment.

"Yes."

Lingzi nodded seriously, and then her smile gradually turned sinister. "Besides, it's normal for young people of your age to have little secrets, isn't it? For example, adolescent impulses. If I rush in directly, what if I disturb you and you see something embarrassing? Wouldn't that be very embarrassing?"

"..."

After hearing Reiko's words, Natsume became speechless when he saw Reiko's expression. He never expected that the other party would say such a thing.

Should I say that she is worthy of being called Lingzi? She is really bold, isn't she?

Chapter 30 This is an order

"Who would do something like this on an adolescent impulse?"

Natsume rolled his eyes at Reiko in annoyance, "What on earth do you think I am?"

"What kind of person?"

Reiko pretended to think for a moment, "An impulsive teenage boy?"

"Who's impulsive?"

Natsume complained.

"If you're not impulsive, how can you invite a monster you've only seen once to your home?"

Lingzi also became angry.

"Well……"

But regarding this matter, Natsume found that he had no way to refute it at all?

"Reiko!"

Then, Natsume looked at Reiko in front of him seriously.

"what happened?"

Reiko looked at Natsume in front of her in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him suddenly becoming serious?

"Reiko, are you saying this because you care about me?"

Natsume looked at Reiko's smile and became amused.

"Who... who cares about you?"

Lingzi became nervous because of what Natsume said. "You are just a Natsume. I can knock you away with one stick. How dare you say that to me? Are you looking for a fight?"

"Reiko, what are you so nervous about?"

Natsume asked, looking at Reiko with a smile.

At this moment, Natsume also felt warm in his heart, because he could feel the care from Reiko.

"Who, who's nervous?"

Reiko pretended to be calm and rolled her eyes at Natsume, then she opened the door of the cabin and walked in.

“Sniff sniff!!!”

As soon as she walked into the cabin, Lingzi's nose began to sniff, because the smell was really too fragrant.

"What is that? It smells really good?"

When Reiko smelled the fragrance, she no longer cared about what Natsume had said just now, and hurried to the stove, looking at the food in the two pots with anticipation.

"It's fish soup and boiled and grilled fish."

Natsume came to Reiko's side and began to explain.

"Fish soup and poached grilled fish?"

Reiko's eyes lit up, and she looked at Natsume expectantly, "Not ready yet? How long will it take?"

She couldn't wait.

"let me see."

Seeing Reiko impatient, Natsume immediately opened the lid of the pot and took a look.

"If there are still ten minutes left, that's fine."

"Ten minutes?"

Lingzi nodded, indicating that she could wait for ten minutes.

"correct."

At this moment, Reiko suddenly thought of something, and then she picked up the small box she brought and handed it to Natsume in front of her.
