My deskmate is Nakano Satsuki.

"Hello, Ye Fengjun, good afternoon."

The environment in the Service Department has changed somewhat.

The two tables in the middle were placed together, with some books and bento boxes on them.

Behind the table sat two girls, none other than Yui Yuigahama and Yukinoshita.

Surprisingly, a boy was sitting in the corner with dead fish eyes and an aura of lethargy emanating from him.

Hikigaya Hachiman.

I saw him when I was here last time, I didn't expect to run into him again this time.

"good afternoon."

Ye Feng responded and pulled up a chair to sit opposite her: "Yui, is there something you need? Why did I have to come all the way here?"

During the second period in the morning, Yui Yuigahama sent him a message, asking him to come to the Service Club during his lunch break.

If Yui Yuigahama hadn't said she had prepared a bento box, and if the two of them hadn't had a fairly good relationship, Ye Feng wouldn't have wanted to come at all.

Yukinoshita ate her bento slowly and deliberately, glancing at Ye Feng without saying a word.

"Ha ha... ..."

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama chuckled dryly, put her hands together, and looked at him pitifully: "Um... I've run into some trouble, so I'd like to ask Ye Feng for help."

"Don't worry about lunch, Ye Fengjun, I've prepared a bento for you..."

As she spoke, Yui Yuigahama pulled a bento box from under the table, her face flushed, her eyes darting around, and whispered, "I made this myself, it might not taste very good, um..."

Chapter 53 Black Tea Under the Snow

If you know it tastes bad, then don't take it out!

Ye Feng's lips twitched slightly, and he inexplicably felt guilty, suddenly regretting coming over.

Yui Yuigahama's cooking skills...

Just don’t mention it!

Ye Feng had learned that Yui Yuigahama wasn't stupid, so her cooking skills were lacking.

It's because Yui Yuigahama's mother is a full-time housewife, and her mother prepares all three meals a day. As a result, Yui Yuigahama has never cooked since she was a child.

It's safe to say that even salt and sugar, soy sauce and vinegar, cooking oil and dish soap are easy to get mixed up.

It's simply impossible to cook.

Although Yuihama stated that she had practiced diligently this time...

But it still makes it hard to have confidence.

Ye Feng thought for a moment, then held out his hand and said, "Thank you, please give me the bento."

You have no right to speak if you haven't tried it.

What if?

What if, after going through arduous training, Yui Yuigahama unlocks her culinary skills?

Besides, this was also Yuihama's way of showing her appreciation.

To reject something outright without even trying it...

That would be going too far.

Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief, her face beaming with a happy smile, and handed the bento to Ye Feng: "Ye Feng-kun, if it's not good, don't force yourself..."

You think too much.

If it doesn't taste good, I'll definitely tell you directly.

Ye Feng reached out and took the bento box. He opened it and found that it contained very common seaweed rice balls, wrapped in nori for easy handling. The nori also added a nice flavor.

"that... ..."

Yui Yuigahama tapped her finger, her eyes darting around, and said guiltily, "Because of time constraints, I only made seaweed rice balls..."

Actually, Yui Hama wanted to make other types of rice balls, but unfortunately, they required more ingredients and were more troublesome to prepare, unlike seaweed rice balls, which only require cutting seaweed into small pieces and mixing it into the rice...

Of course, there is another important reason.

It's just too time-consuming.

I finally managed to get up in the morning, and after washing up, there wasn't much time left. Plus, I had to make rice balls without my mom knowing. I couldn't help it; if she found out I was making lunchboxes, she would definitely misunderstand.

As for the taste...

It should be... fine, right? After all, I followed the instructions exactly...

"It's okay, I like rice balls too."

Rice balls are made from rice, and as long as you don't add too many seasonings, they generally won't taste too bad.

Moreover, the portions are generous, making it easy to fill your stomach.

The rice balls made by Yuihama are neat in appearance and have a nice shape. They also have the unique fragrance of seaweed rice balls, which makes them very tempting.

"I'll try it."

Ye Feng picked up the rice ball and took a bite.

To be honest, when Ye Feng saw the seaweed rice balls, he wasn't disappointed at all; on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rice balls are such a simple dish, even someone like Yui Yuigahama who's terrible at cooking could make them, right?

In short, as long as it's edible, that's fine.

Because I never expected Yui Yuigahama to make such a delicious and abundant meal!

However, the next moment, Ye Feng realized he was wrong.

day!

This salty-to-bitter taste... ...Am I sure I'm not eating salt?

Yuihama opened her eyes wide and saw that Ye Feng's movements suddenly stiffened, and a variety of expressions appeared on his face.

This was the first time Yui had ever seen Ye Feng display such a rich range of expressions, because he was usually very calm, even when arguing with Yukinoshita...

Yuihama asked expectantly, "Ye Feng-kun, how does it taste?"

"..."

How dare you ask?

If Ye Feng could sense no malice from Yui Yuigahama, he would have suspected that the girl wanted to harm him.

He swore that this was absolutely the most unforgettable rice ball he had ever eaten.

Cheating!

For other people, rice balls are for filling their stomachs; on a grander scale, they are for saving their lives.

And Yuihama's rice balls... ...

This is clearly going to be fatal!

No!

Ye Feng swallowed hard, hesitated for a moment, and then, with the three of them staring wide-eyed, picked up the black tea next to him and drank it all in one gulp.

no way.

Anyone who wants to know what it tastes like should just eat a bite of salt!

That taste is something only those who have tried it know.

Although I knew this was black tea from Yukinoshita, there's a saying: when facing a life-or-death crisis, if you encounter a tiger, you eat the tiger; if you encounter a panda, you eat the panda...

This is called emergency evacuation!

It's just a cup of black tea; I can just make another cup for Yukinoshita later.

"They survived..."

Ye Feng put down his cup, a relieved expression on his face.

He vowed that he would never again eat Yui Yuigahama's cooking so easily!

Then the problem is coming.

Faced with an expectant girl, should one be gentle and lie to the truth and say it's delicious, or just say it directly?

Ye Feng let out a breath: "Yui, the rice balls you made... are awful!"

"I'm so sorry..."

"Woo..."

Yui Yuigahama covered her face with her hands and couldn't help but let out a mournful cry.

I worked so hard to make rice balls, but they turned out terribly...

Even Yui Yuigahama was severely affected.

and many more.

The black tea that Ye Fengjun just drank...

Yuigahama Yui suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Yukinoshita, and then couldn't help but shiver.

So, so scary!

The air seemed to be filled with the crackling of ice, and with each 'crackling' sound, the entire activity room seemed to be frozen solid...

In the corner, Hachiman Hikigaya stared in disbelief, then shrank back.

"Is Yukinoshita really this scary when she's angry?"

"You can't afford to offend."

"However... that teacup is for Yukino's personal use. She just took a sip from it, and Ye Feng drank from it. Is this what they call an indirect kiss?"

"Damn it, I'm not envious at all, not even a little bit. Those 'normie' types... ..."

"No one is truly free!"

"So... good luck, Ye Fengjun."

Hachiman Hikigaya silently prayed for Ye Feng. Having experienced Yukinoshita's sharp tongue firsthand, he knew how difficult she was to deal with.

And Yukino is so angry...

Something is wrong!

Should we retreat temporarily? We can't stay here any longer...

Snowfall's face was cold as she stared intently at Ye Feng. If looks could kill, Ye Feng would have been riddled with holes and dead beyond any doubt by now!

That was the black tea she had just drunk, and this guy actually picked it up and drank it...

Indirect kiss?

The thought of Ye Feng drinking the same black tea she had drunk made Yukinoshita feel extremely uncomfortable.

The atmosphere became extremely oppressive, like the calm before a storm.

Seeing Yukino staring intently at him, Ye Feng remained silent for a moment before saying, "Sorry, I acted rashly just now. Yukino, shall I make you another cup?"

Chapter 54 He's not the gentle anime protagonist.

"Also, the black tea is very delicious."

"..."

Upon hearing the first sentence, Yukino remained expressionless. "You think you can just make another cup?"

It's impossible not to care!
