Chapter 79 Dinner, Night
Just then, a system notification popped up in front of Hoshino Makoto.
It's no longer Yamamoto Mami's, but his older sister Shimizu Yuzuki's.
A tall figure has appeared at the kitchen doorway for some time now.
Shimizu Yuzuki stood there, her arms crossed over her chest, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She watched the boy, wearing an apron, working methodically at the cooking table.
Shimizu Yuzuki's cool, beautiful eyes held a strange light and a hint of affection.
She looked at Hoshino Makoto, her nominal younger brother.
I couldn't help but think of my time in the company's editorial department.
She reviewed some urban married life comics.
The story mainly revolves around the harmony and warmth of married life.
Of course, this is also to attract some female homebodies who prefer married men.
Those comics also usually feature married men who have spent a lot of effort on drawing.
The emphasis is on the husband's outstanding appearance and his virtuous and gentle personality.
Shimizu Yuzuki watched her younger brother, a cute boy, preparing a meal.
Subconsciously, I compared him to the married men in those comics.
Aside from being younger, they really do look quite similar in personality and temperament.
"Xiao Zhen is so sensible at such a young age, she can cook, and she has a great personality."
"When I get older and go to university, I wonder which women will benefit from me."
Shimizu Yuzuki looked at the boy in front of her and muttered to herself.
Her tone carried an envy that she herself was unaware of.
At the same time, the idea that had arisen in Shimizu Yuzuki's heart after watching the legal education video that morning became even more resolute.
"As Xiaozhen's older sister, I must make sure to vet him well."
"We absolutely cannot let those women who only know how to use sweet talk get away with it."
Before Shimizu Yuzuki could think any further, a soft, familiar voice rang out.
"Sister, is there something you need from me?"
Hoshino Makoto ladled the finished dish onto a plate.
He turned to look at Shimizu Yuzuki, who was standing by the door.
He had just seen the system notification.
But because I was preparing food, I didn't have time to react.
"Xiao Zhen, Auntie just said she has a meeting tonight, so don't wait for her for dinner."
Shimizu Yuzuki saw that Hoshino Makoto had already discovered her.
Her pretty face immediately reverted to its usual indifferent expression.
"Okay, sister, I understand."
Hoshino Makoto smiled slightly at Shimizu Yuzuki.
Then she turned around and continued preparing the food.
[Shimizu Yuzuki's affection level increases by 3 after seeing your smile towards her.]
[Shimizu Yuzuki thinks your smile is very beautiful, +4 likes]
At the kitchen doorway, Shimizu Yuzuki stood there.
Her pretty face seemed to be in a daze.
It was as if I had witnessed a breathtaking scene, and I was unable to recover from it for a long time.
. . . . . .
The air around the dining table was filled with the rich aroma of food.
Several plates filled with dinner were placed on the table, with wisps of steam rising into the air.
Shimizu Ai picked up a piece of grilled meat, dipped it in the secret sauce, and put it in her mouth.
The aromas of the dishes and sauces blend on the tip of the tongue and then explode in the mouth.
Shimizu squinted her eyes as if enjoying herself, and unconsciously hummed a few times.
After swallowing with lingering relish, she turned to look at Akizuki Miki sitting next to her.
"Miki, how is it? Isn't it delicious?"
Akizuki Miki held a rice bowl in her left hand and used her chopsticks to pick up food with her right.
Her beautiful face was full of enjoyment, and there was still some sauce left at the corner of her mouth.
She looked at the dinner dishes spread across the table with amazement in her eyes.
Before this, Shimizu Ai often told her how delicious Hoshino Makoto's cooking was.
Therefore, Akizuki Miki had a certain expectation of Hoshino Makoto's culinary skills.
But Akizuki Miki never expected that Hoshino Makoto's cooking would be so delicious.
She had never eaten such delicious food before.
Just as Akizuki Miki was about to pick up a piece of food with her chopsticks, she heard her good friend Shimizu Ai say something.
She nodded almost subconsciously.
"It's delicious! Xiaozhen's dinner is so good!"
At the dining table, they heard Akizuki Miki's reply.
Shimizu Ai laughed happily.
"Hehe, Miki, I told you I wasn't exaggerating."
"Xiao Zhen's cooking is even better than Aunt Yamamoto's."
Across from Shimizu Ai, Hoshino Makoto sat there.
Hearing what his third sister, Shimizu Ai, said.
A smile appeared on Hoshino's beautiful, fair face.
After all, sincere praise always makes people happy.
Hoshino Makoto then looked at Akizuki Miki, who was picking up food with her chopsticks.
The girl had already eaten two bowls of rice, but she was still not satisfied.
Hoshino Makoto's bright, moist eyes held a mixture of happiness and apology.
A delighted Akizuki Miki praised his cooking skills highly and ate with great relish.
He apologized that after dinner he would have his second sister, Shimizu Rin, devour the dark energy on Akizuki Miki's body.
This will cause Akizuki Miki's physical condition to decline.
What Hoshino Shin didn't see was that right beside him at that moment.
Shimizu Yuzuki, who was sitting there, frowned slightly.
She glanced at Akizuki Miki, who was sitting next to Shimizu, out of the corner of her eye.
Thinking about how her younger sister, her good friend, had just addressed Hoshino Makoto.
Isn't that a bit too intimate?
. . . . . .
After dinner, on the second floor.
As night fell, it became completely dark outside.
Because she had to go to work the next day, Shimizu Yuzuki took a shower early and then went back to her room to rest.
On the living room sofa, Ai Shimizu and Miki Akizuki sat.
They held game controllers, controlling the racing cars in the game on the TV screen.
Without being disturbed by anyone else, the two had a very happy and enjoyable time together.
At that moment, what Shimizu Ai and the others did not notice was...
The bathroom door was open not far away, and steam was billowing out.
Hoshino Makoto, drying his hair and wearing a light-colored cartoon short-sleeved shirt, came out.
He saw Shimizu Ai and Akizuki Miki having a great time playing on the living room sofa.
Hoshino looked at them, then at the bathroom behind her with the heater on.
After taking a shower, Hoshino Makoto wanted to ask who wanted to shower next.
But Hoshino Makoto is determined to become a handsome guy in Tokyo.
He always remembered the second rule of handsome men in Tokyo.
Don't disturb others when they are having fun.
Hoshino Makoto turned around and turned off the bathroom heater, then walked towards the bedroom.
"Xiao Zhen? You're done washing up."
Hoshino Makoto didn't want to disturb Shimizu Ai and Akizuki Miki, who were having a great time.
But as he passed through the living room, Ai Shimizu still caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of her eye.
Handsome Tokyo boy, you were born to attract attention.
Wherever you stand, that's where the stage is.
Hoshino Makoto didn't want to bother Shimizu Ai and the others.
But he clearly forgot his own unique charm—his fair skin and delicate bones.
