Looking at the time, it was almost noon. Naoki Kirigaya thought for a moment and decided to go home for lunch. He told Asuna Yuuki and prepared to end the day's lesson.
Asuna Yuuki was still frowning and thinking. She casually asked, "Are you coming in the afternoon?"
Naoki Kirigaya smiled and said, "Aren't you always complaining that you don't have your own time? I won't come in the afternoon, you can arrange the time as you like. But now we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, everyone's interests are the same, just don't let the course fall behind."
Asuna Yuuki nodded and stopped talking.
Asuna Yuuki's attitude surprised Naoki Kirigaya. Logically speaking, being strictly disciplined by her mother all the time should have made Asuna Yuuki feel dissatisfied for a long time. Now that she encountered Naoki Kirigaya's laissez-faire education, she should be extremely excited.
What was with this blandness?
After Naoki Kirigaya put on his shoes and left, Asuna Yuuki sat honestly in her chair. After hearing the sound of the door closing in the hallway, her expression lit up.
She got up and shouted "Oh yeah!" and rushed out of the living room straight to her room.
She was going to be busy with her own things.
Unhappy? Bland?
Fake, all fake. Having finally gotten rid of the shackles, how could she not be happy?
It was just that she was embarrassed to act out because of the face of a girl.
On the other side, Naoki Kirigaya yawned and left Asuna Yuuki's house. The midday sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight made it almost impossible for the boy to open his eyes.
After he got used to the light, he slowly walked forward.
Returning home, he ran into Suguha Kirigaya.
Naoki Kirigaya smiled and said, "Suguha, you're home?"
"Yeah." Suguha Kirigaya replied coldly.
"How's school? If there's anything you don't know, you can ask me, I'll teach you." Naoki Kirigaya made way for Suguha to open the door.
He didn't have a key. Suguha Kirigaya glanced at the boy coldly, walked forward and opened the door with the key.
While opening the door, she suddenly asked, "What did you go out to do today? I've been seeing you go out a lot lately."
"Got a part-time job, tutoring a student." Naoki Kirigaya said indifferently.
Suguha Kirigaya fell into deep thought.
"Part-time job? Indeed, with his strength, he can handle it." Suguha Kirigaya thought to herself.
Thinking of his table full of honorary certificates and qualification certificates, she was silently speechless.
Her age was not much different from the boy in front of her, but in front of this almost monstrous boy, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.
She thought that the boy should be an extremely strict person, and generally only such people could achieve success, but at the same time, such people had higher demands on others.
Suguha Kirigaya thought that her future life would be spent in misery.
When the boy first entered the house, she was still uneasy.
Until she watched Naoki Kirigaya play games with Kazuto Kirigaya for three days in a row, Suguha Kirigaya fell silent.
This older brother wasn't strict; on the contrary, he was unbelievably lenient.
This was a huge shock to Suguha Kirigaya , who had always followed the rules.
One day, she suddenly found Naoki Kirigaya and asked him, "Shouldn't everyone study hard, adhere to self-discipline, get into a good high school, go to a good university, and then find a good job? Shouldn't everyone strive for that?"
Naoki Kirigaya looked at Suguha Kirigaya with a surprised expression. She still remembered that look; his golden, jewel-like eyes were like a deep spring, and those clear eyes made people subconsciously trust his words.
But the words Naoki Kirigaya spoke weren't pleasant. He said, "Do whatever you want. I'll support you no matter what you like to do, even if you become a useless person. Don't you think that kind of ordinary life is too boring?"
Suguha Kirigaya opened her mouth, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately said nothing.
The answer the boy gave her didn't satisfy her.
Suguha was a serious girl, doing everything methodically.
In comparison, Naoki Kirigaya was too casual, but after spending a long time with Naoki Kirigaya, you would find that he was a very charming person.
He was a bit lazy, but he never shirked the things he had to do. Her mother was really something, pushing everything onto her older brother and completely letting him do as he pleased.
The boy made all three meals at home.
Thinking of this, Suguha Kirigaya quickly stepped forward, pulled out a chair for the boy, and, under Naoki Kirigaya's astonished gaze, pushed the boy, pointed to the chair, and motioned for him to sit down.
Although her mother and second brother didn't know how to appreciate her older brother, as the last bastion of the Kirigaya family, she had to stand up.
Suguha Kirigaya 's cold expression was serious and earnest as she said, "Brother, sit down…"
Naoki Kirigaya sat down, feeling a bit strange.
He felt that his younger sister was acting weird.
"Yo, big brother's back. What are we eating today?" Kazuto Kirigaya was scrolling through short videos on his phone when he saw Naoki Kirigaya and was overjoyed.
Then he was glared at fiercely by Suguha Kirigaya .
Kazuto Kirigaya was full of question marks. He didn't understand why Suguha was glaring at him. He thought, "Wasn't it always like this before?"
He asked in confusion, "Suguha doesn't want to eat the food big brother makes?"
Suguha Kirigaya 's face turned red. Thinking of her big brother's delicious and fragrant cooking, she swallowed her saliva and ultimately succumbed to her appetite, saying, "I want to eat it."
If you both want to eat it, then why are you glaring at me?
Kazuto Kirigaya felt even more confused.
Girls have so many thoughts.
Kazuto Kirigaya and Naoki Kirigaya exchanged a silent glance.
Sighing, he got up and said, "There's still beef at home. I'll make braised beef for everyone. This dish is very famous in China."
"Braised beef." Kazuto Kirigaya swallowed hard.
Gulp *2
Why were there two sounds of swallowing? Kazuto Kirigaya subconsciously looked at Suguha.
He smiled and said, "Suguha also likes to eat beef?"
Then he joked, "Suguha doesn't just like to eat beef; Suguha likes to eat everything big brother makes, right?"
Suguha Kirigaya glared at Kazuto Kirigaya, clenching her fists, ready to let Kazuto Kirigaya know his place in the family.
Kazuto Kirigaya's mouth twitched slightly, and he raised both hands in surrender.
Naoki Kirigaya stood to the side, finding the two, one big and one small, amusing.
He got up and went to the kitchen to cook, playing popular music from this world on his phone, taking out the beef to thaw, and taking out scallions, ginger, chili peppers, and celery.
He chopped the scallions into small pieces, sliced the ginger, cut the celery into sections, and cut the chili peppers into sections for later use.
The boy's cooking skills were superb, or perhaps the things passed down from the Chinese ancestors were all top-notch delicacies, often using the simplest cooking methods to make the most delicious dishes.
