Mr. Gong is not only good at cooking

Two hundred years?

Three hundred years?

Yu Meiren suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. It was the first time she had ever felt that she would be very sad if someone died in front of her.

She couldn't describe the feeling, because no one had ever given her such a feeling before.

She didn't even know when she started to have this feeling.

As an elf, after disappearing from the land of China during the Age of Gods, the poppy has been troubled by being viewed differently by humans.

"Why is this woman still so beautiful after all these years?"

"This woman is clearly not human!"

"It's a monster!"

"Witch! Kill her!"

The poppy had no choice but to stay away from humans and was forced to hide in a forest inaccessible to humans.

However, this did not last long. Some extraordinary people noticed her existence and discovered that wherever the poppy stayed, the plants there would wither in small areas, and the animals would seem to have been drained of their blood.

They concluded that the poppy was a monster, a vampire, and thus began their hunt for it.

All of these factors have forced the poppy to distance itself from humans and become increasingly estranged from human emotions.

She used to be a high and mighty fairy who didn't need to understand human emotions, but with the disappearance of the divine era, she was forced to hide and became even more distant from humans.

Even when appearing among humans, they need to disguise themselves to make themselves less conspicuous.

She cannot be close to humans because human lifespan is short, while hers is eternal.

She cannot guarantee that every human being will treat her the same way. This era is ignorant, and most people will feel fear when they see themselves getting old while Yu Meiren remains so young.

Fear, rejection, criticism.

No one tried to understand her, and she gradually stopped demanding that others understand her like a sage.

Almost two months ago, Yu Meiren, who was being chased by sorcerers, entered the restaurant that Emiya Shirou had just opened.

Everything has become completely different.

There was no fear, no distance, no unfamiliarity.

All of this was brought about by this man named Emiya Shirou.

For the first time, Yu Meiren felt indescribable emotions towards humans.

She wanted to understand what kind of person Shirou Emiya really was.

She also hopes that Shirou Emiya can understand her.

However, she discovered that Shirou Emiya didn't seem to really want to understand her.

He seemed only interested in those guests.

This left Yu Meiren feeling somewhat frustrated, yet also paradoxically relieved—don't try to understand me, I will outlive you.

But she also longs for Shirou Emiya to understand her, and hopes that Shirou Emiya can chat and joke with her every day, forever.

However, she was afraid that Shirou Emiya would die, so she tried her best to avoid mentioning this matter to him.

Just like now, she sat on Shirou Emiya's bed, without saying a word.

Shirou Emiya was also feeling very bad.

He didn't know when it started, but his initial attraction to the body of the poppy gradually turned into liking her.

It was as if suddenly, every word, every smile, every glance, and every movement of Yu Meiren began to firmly attract her attention.

So, without realizing it, he began to focus his gaze on Yu Meiren more often each day.

Yu Meiren playing games, Yu Meiren reading books, Yu Meiren holding Fufu, Yu Meiren smashing the controller, Yu Meiren playing Merlin.

You can watch it over and over again without getting tired of it.

However, as soon as Yu Meiren notices something, he immediately looks away and pretends not to care.

It's just like when I was in school in my past life, facing my first love.

However, he didn't know how Yu Meiren viewed him.

Emiya Shirou could sense that Yu Meiren's attitude towards him was different; she wouldn't get angry even if there was occasional unintentional physical contact.

Unless she's focused on something and you accidentally disturb her, then it's up to fate.

The three great illusions of life were passed down from Shirou Emiya's previous life.

One of my misconceptions was that she liked me.

It was this one sentence that left Shirou Emiya completely unsure of Yu Meiren's attitude towards him.

After all, in his view, this Yu Meiren was basically not the same person as the Yu Meiren he knew, except for her character design and temperament.

Today's game is an exception.

Emiya Shirou inexplicably revealed the stakes, actually just wanting to take a gamble.

If you kiss Yu Meiren and she doesn't react much, then there's still some hope. If she reacts too strongly, then you'll have to take it one step at a time.

When Shirou Emiya, sitting on the sofa, suddenly found the courage to pull Yu Meiren into his arms and kiss her without any fear of death, he felt like Don Quixote rushing towards a windmill.

He was incredibly brave, but his final outcome was also very Don Quixote-like.

He was pinched between the thighs by the poppy and twisted hard.

Emiya Shirou, whose lips touched Yu Meiren's for less than 0.1 seconds, didn't even have time to experience what his first kiss in two lifetimes combined felt like before his face instantly turned red and then white.

When Yu Meiren was forcibly pulled into Shirou Emiya's arms, her first reaction was that Shirou Emiya was going to rebel and dare to hit her.

But when Emiya Shirou kissed her, Yu Meiren's mind went completely blank.

She had seen kissing before.

It was in the world of Scarlet Ammo that Hoshiga Shirayuki took the initiative to kiss Toyama Kinji.

And seeing Shirou Emiya from a parallel world kiss Sakura Matou during a live TV broadcast.

When Yu Meiren first saw it, she didn't understand it at all.

Later, when Riko joined the restaurant, Yu Meiren casually asked during an online game between the two, "Riko, what's a woman doing when her lips are pressed against a man's?"

Riko grinned mischievously, "Of course it's because boys want to bully girls, so Sister Yu must protect herself and not let anyone touch her lips. Of course, Bai Xue and Qin Qin are special cases."

"How is it special?" Yu Meiren asked curiously.

"If the boy and girl like each other, there's no problem with doing this. But if one of them doesn't like the other, then it's unacceptable, and you have to be very firm about it!"

Yu Meiren nodded as if she understood, but she had no idea what liking someone meant.

So today, she decisively applied the experience taught by Riko and gave Emiya Shirou a fatal blow.

But looking back, could this be considered Shirou liking him?

Unfortunately, she still doesn't know what it means to like someone.

Then, she looked at Shirou Emiya's lower body again and asked, "Does it really not hurt anymore? Do you need me to rub it for you? Or blow on it for you?"

Emiya Shirou hesitated for a moment, glancing at Yu Meiren's fair hands and luscious cherry lips.

He swallowed hard.

Then I shook my head decisively.

The fact that Yu Meiren reacted so strongly back then means she definitely had no feelings for him. To make her do such a thing just because she is innocent in this respect is simply inhuman.

But sooner or later I'll make you develop feelings for me!

Yu Meiren felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Emiya Shirou shake his head.

Sure enough, he didn't want me to help him. Every time he felt I was looking at him, he would turn his head away. This was probably a sign that he didn't want to understand me.

No, I'm determined to make you understand me!

Emiya Shirou glanced at his phone on the bedside table. It was almost afternoon, even if the afternoon was defined as six o'clock, that was only two hours away.

"Yu, it's alright. Actually, I just lost my balance and tried to grab you to keep my balance, but I used too much force..." Emiya Shirou decided to gloss over what happened today.

Yu Meiren nodded and stood up.

Suddenly, taking advantage of Shirou Emiya's inattention, she gently kissed him on the lips.

"!!!"

Emiya Shirou was dumbfounded.

what's going on!

Yu Meiren said calmly, "This is just compensation, don't overthink it. I'm going to sleep!"

Then she collapsed onto Shirou Emiya's bed.

Emiya Shirou belatedly touched his lips.

That's it?

Second update...

I feel like I'm playing a single-player game more and more.

As expected, I'm a loser.

There's nothing there...

Somewhat withdrawn

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tonight, I'll be a partner of justice.

A short, loud ringing sound suddenly exploded in Shirou Emiya's mind, instantly waking him from his deep sleep.

He suddenly opened his eyes and found the room completely dark.

Half-asleep, Shirou Emiya struggled to turn on the switch by the bed, then felt something pressing down on him, and instinctively reached out to grab it.

emmmmm.

It's soft, kind of like the stress-relieving balls we played with as kids, but it feels even more comfortable, softer, and warmer. What's this? Fufu?

After grabbing at it a couple of times, Shirou Emiya suddenly realized what was happening, turned on the light, and looked down.

The poppy was nestled on his chest, snoring softly like a fully grown ragdoll cat. Its beautiful face made one marvel at nature's favoritism towards the poppy, its exquisite, natural beauty flawless.

Her small, cherry-like lips weren't completely closed; some glistening liquid slowly trickled down her lips and chin onto Shirou Emiya's bare pectoral muscles, feeling cool.

Perhaps because she was sleeping so soundly, Yu Meiren seemed much gentler and quieter than usual.

Because the dark blue striped dress has an off-shoulder design, from Shirou Emiya's perspective, it's clear that the left side of his chest is deformed from being pressed down, while the right side remains perfectly shaped.

Emiya Shirou's hand was also gripping his right hand tightly.

He unconsciously scratched her twice more, causing Yu Meiren to let out a small moan. The hot breath from her pink lips hit Shirou Emiya's chest, making him a little distracted.

The crucial point is that, unfortunately, Yu Meiren's thigh was still stuck in the same spot, which caused Shirou Emiya to develop a psychological trauma.

Feeling guilty, he took back his pig's trotters and then recalled the kiss Yu Meiren had given him before he went to sleep.

So what exactly does this woman mean?

Is she interested in me, or is it really just compensation?

Emiya Shirou began his detailed analysis.

First of all, he must like Yu Meiren. Now that Yu Meiren is sleeping unguarded on his chest, he feels like he is in heaven.

Secondly, Yu Meiren doesn't seem to mind being close to him.

Thus, Shirou Emiya came to an important conclusion.

Yu Meiren only considered herself a friend like Lanling Wang.

He might be a little better than Lanling Wang, but that's about it for now.

Sigh, when will I be able to get Yu Meiren to like me as much as I like her?

However, Shirou Emiya couldn't be too obvious or try to curry favor with her, as this would only make Yu Meiren avoid him.

After all, nobody likes a simp.
