My deskmate is Nakano Satsuki.

"What are you looking at!"

Nino glared at him fiercely and said, "You can leave now. I can handle things on my own from now on."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"..."

After Ye Feng left the kitchen, Nino pursed her lips, a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, and suddenly felt a sense of joy.

"A cricket chirps in the wind, hum hum..."

More than half an hour later, Nino came out of the kitchen: "May, Miku, don't sit there, come and help."

"coming."

Upon hearing this, May's ahoge (cowlick) stood up instantly, and she quickly got up and happily walked into the kitchen.

May truly lives up to its reputation as a foodie month.

Nino placed the plate on the table, looked at Ye Feng, and said, "You don't need to go to the kitchen, this is yours, hurry up and come over..."

Ye Feng: "..."

Why do I feel like Nino is taking care of me?

Illusion?

Soon, the four of them were seated.

Nino's dish was served on separate plates, with vegetable salad, tempura, fried shrimp, green peppers, grilled fish, and some pickled radish.

There are many varieties, and they look very diverse.

Once plated, the food is brightly colored and exudes an enticing aroma, enough to whet anyone's appetite.

In addition, there is rice, which is essential for three meals a day, and miso soup.

Ye Feng picked up his chopsticks and was about to eat when he suddenly felt three pairs of eyes staring straight at him.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, roughly understanding what they meant. In this country, many people have a habit of saying "I'm starting to eat" before meals...

However, in reality, it's optional whether you say it or not.

Some people will say that, while others won't.

As for why one says "I'm starting to eat," it's probably to express gratitude for the food's preparation and to politely remind others that it's time to eat...

In some more traditional families, there is sometimes a custom where the head of the household starts eating first, and the rest of the family can only start eating later.

At this point, the head of the household would say, "I'm starting to eat..."

Ye Feng doesn't have these habits when he's alone.

Rather than empty words, he values ​​concrete actions, such as protecting the environment, caring for animals and plants, and not wasting food.

However, as a matter of politeness, I should say...

"I'm gonna start now."

"Hmm~"

May blinked: "I thought Ye Fengjun didn't have this habit."

Nino said, "It doesn't really matter. Whether you say it or not, it's all the same. Many people would still waste food even if they said just one sentence."

Since that's the case, you shouldn't keep staring at us!

To be fair, Nino's cooking is indeed excellent. This isn't the first time Ye Feng has eaten Nino's cooking; the first time was when he ate a bento box made by Nino, and this is the second time.

It's freshly made, so it will taste even better.

The only problem is...

Green pepper.

Ye Feng looked at the green peppers on the plate and felt a headache coming on.

People in this country prefer light cuisine, and many of their green peppers are simply boiled in water. Plus, the green peppers here are naturally quite bitter...

That taste was absolutely awful.

It's fair to say that many people have a strong aversion to green peppers from childhood to adulthood. For example, Shin-chan from a certain anime and Nobita from a certain cat-themed cartoon often engage in battles of wits with their mothers to avoid eating green peppers...

This is not a fictional phenomenon from anime, but a real-world occurrence.

May looked at Ye Feng and said seriously, "Ye Feng-kun, you're not allowed to be picky about food!"

Nino pursed her lips, lowered her head, and said, "Green peppers don't taste very good this way. If you don't like it, don't force yourself."

As she spoke, Nino looked at Miku, her eyebrows furrowing: "Miku, don't move the green peppers aside, eat them all!"

Sanjiu: "..."

Miku said hesitantly, "If Ye Feng doesn't want to eat, then I don't want to eat either."

"Who said I'm not eating?"

Ye Feng decisively said, "Wasting food is shameful, I'll eat it now."

Sanjiu: "..."

After dinner, they continued studying for a while, and May started to doze off, while Miku was even more direct, lying face down on the table and sleeping soundly!

In the end, only Nino was still holding on.

Yeah, I'll keep playing on my phone.

Ye Feng covered his forehead. "I told you to take a nap first, but you didn't listen. And now what?"

They're both sleeping soundly!

Ye Feng sighed and looked at Nino sitting on the sofa.

Nino pursed her lips, turned to look at Ye Feng, and revealed a cute smile, with her little tiger teeth at the corners of her mouth particularly eye-catching.

"What, are you disappointed that I didn't fall asleep?"

You think too much.

To ruin a lifetime for a mere few minutes, what kind of dregs of brains do you have to do such a thing?

Ye Feng rested his chin on one hand and looked at Nino: "Nino, don't you want to graduate?"

Nino paused in her breathing.

Of course I want to graduate from university.

But given the sisters' situation, how would they graduate successfully...?

"I don't want to go."

Nino lowered her head and continued playing on her phone.

However, this time, looking at my phone, I just couldn't calm down.

I felt extremely irritable.

She roughly understood why Ye Feng had asked that question. She had clearly promised to attend the training during their conversation, but then, out of a moment of spite...

Even though that's not what I really thought, I got carried away and couldn't control myself.

"Is that so..."

Ye Feng glanced at Nino, stood up, and said, "I'll head back now and come back tomorrow..."

Stubborn to the end, clinging to pride even at the cost of suffering.

That's right.

That refers to Nino.

They clearly care a lot, but they pretend not to.

By May, they had all graduated, and she was the only one who hadn't passed the exam...

If it really comes to that, Nino will probably hide in her room and cry all by herself, right?

So, it's very troublesome.

But as a tutor, it's impossible to simply let things slide and easily collect money, as I previously claimed.

That is undoubtedly an extremely irresponsible act!

In addition, he had already done some things for this job.

Don't worry about Yotsuba and May.

For Miku, accompany her to the shopping mall, and use this as an opportunity to get Miku to obediently participate in the study.

The incident with Ichika was purely accidental, but he took the opportunity to win her over...

Finally, there's Nino.

Having already experienced a chance encounter, running into the police, and the incident of her hair getting caught on the train, Nino volunteered to participate...

But in the end, he was so obsessed with saving face that he suffered for it.

A good hand of cards was played badly.

If the five sisters really made no progress, or if one of them failed, it would be a disgrace to him!

Does losing superpowers mean I'm helpless and have no other options, leaving me with no choice but to let Mr. Nakano terminate the contract?

Even if he's thick-skinned, he'll still be unhappy if he's not happy.

and... ...

Ye Feng took a deep breath, stopped, and turned to look at Nino: "Nino, let's come together tomorrow, otherwise you'll be all alone in the end, and that will be really tough, won't it?"

Er Nai: "..."

... ...

Chapter 92 Hand it over

After leaving the apartment building where the Nakano family lived, Ye Feng headed towards his own apartment.

It's not too far from his apartment, but it's not exactly close either; it takes about half an hour to walk there.

However, it was still early and there was nothing to do back home, so Ye Feng decided to walk back and enjoy the scenery along the way.

Spring will soon pass, and the cherry blossoms will soon wither.

Some beautiful sights, once missed, may be missed forever.

Of course, Ye Feng didn't have any feelings about being sentimental or melancholic; it was just something he did out of interest.

Measure the land I've traversed, in springtime, walking under the sun, admiring the scenery along the way, listening to the sound of the wind...

This feeling is actually quite nice.

However, Ye Feng's mood soon soured.

"Nissan!"

A girl with pigtails shouted and ran from the riverbank, lunging directly at Ye Feng...

This is a main road, with people coming and going. Besides, you're not a child anymore, so be more mindful of yourself!

Ye Feng sighed helplessly, somewhat regretting that he hadn't taken the tram back.

That's right.

When she needs something, she calls him "Onii-chan," but when she doesn't need anything, she calls him "Niisan." There's no one else but Nanako like that!

As for the dome...

Sorry, she only calls me by my name, she's never called me "Nisan" before!

Just as Nanako lunged at him, Ye Feng dodged and grabbed the little girl's shoulder to prevent her from falling.

"Woo..."

Nanako stared at her with wide eyes, puffing out her cheeks: "You big idiot, catching your cute little sister is your responsibility as her brother! It's proof of our deep sibling bond..."
