Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

Chapter 109 Dinner with Ms. Nagasaki

Baihe Sanhui picked up the knife and cut a cabbage the size of a head into two halves, sealed it with plastic wrap and handed it to Su Shi who was waiting on the side.

"Since you're cooking for Su Shi's mother, is half enough?" Bai He Sanhui asked considerately, with the flat-headed kitchen knife hanging in his hand, ready to chop the cabbage again at Su Shi's command.

What if both mother and daughter like vegetarian food?

"That's enough. Thank you very much, doctor!"

Su Shi took it somewhat flattered, looked at it carefully for a while, and then carefully put it in her shopping bag.

"You can come to my house for dinner if you like. My mother and I will be very happy if you can do me the honor."

"No, my taste is really unique, and you two ladies may not be used to it."

Baihe Sanhui smiled and refused. Not to mention that he was the kind of person who couldn't live without meat, he couldn't gain weight even though he ate a lot every day. Wouldn't he be so thin that he would die if he ate a pure vegetarian meal?

"Su Shi, can you take some of the fruits I bought back? I accidentally bought too many grapes." Baihe Sanhui picked a small handful of grapes and some peaches and put them into Su Shi's bag.

"How can I do that?" Although he said that, Su Shi still took the bag decisively, walked to the door and turned back to say goodbye.

"Well, see you next time, doctor!"

"Well, see you... later, Sushi?"

The door opened, and a soft little hand, which was a little red from being squeezed by the plastic bag, knocked on Su Shi's equally soft chest.

The strange touch on the treasure chest made Su Shi turn around suddenly.

There was Deng with a stunned expression, Aine with a face full of “It’s over!”, and a plastic bag overflowing with stuff on the ground.

"Um..." Aine shyly withdrew her hand from hitting Soyo's chest and scratched her head in embarrassment. "If I say this was an accident, will Soyorin believe it..."

……

In the end, everyone arrived at the 45th floor of Su Shi, overlooking the sea and the river.

Aiyin and Deng sat on the sofa somewhat awkwardly. Kashiwa Sanhui brought his own tea set and was showing Su Shi's mother the unique development process and modern technology of Tang Dynasty tea art in the suzerain country.

By the way, Baihe Sanhui used the private collection of high-quality black tea bought by the old man from his hometown. The aroma was so strong that Su Shi didn't even care that the tofu paste in the pot had fallen and had to go to the living room to taste it.

"As expected of you, Ko-chan. Your communication skills are amazing." Aine secretly leaned close to Deng's ear and sighed softly as she watched Su Shi's mother, who was giggling with her hands covering her mouth, coaxed by Kashiwa Sanhui's sweet words.

Deng nodded seriously, "Yes, the doctor is amazing!"

"Everyone, it's time to eat." Su Shi took off her apron and neatly untied the low ponytail that she had tied up for cooking.

There are three dishes and one soup. The meatiest dish is wasabi with egg sauce, one portion per person.

"Time flies so fast. Let's finish our meal first, Ms. Nagasaki." Kashiwa Miki moved his butt to the guest seat at the dining table.

"Oh, let the children eat first. Mr. Baihe, please tell me more about your school days. How you and Miss Li drove those bad boys out of the student union..."

"Let's eat first..." Looking at his mother who was still concentrating on listening to Kashiwa Sanhui's storytelling at the dinner table and Kashiwa Sanhui who was talking nonstop, Su Shi sighed helplessly and turned her gaze to the two people who were sitting at the dinner table and dared not pick up their chopsticks.

"Aine, Deng, you guys didn't come here to ask the doctor to persuade Riki, did you?"

Oh, I was guessed by mistake. Aine stuck out her tongue, while Deng looked away guiltily.

"No, soyorin... Actually, I wanted to ask Ko-chan to comfort you, hehe."

"Su Shi is easier to talk to, but Li Xi is a bit stubborn." Deng added the reason in a low voice.

"...I'm not angry. I'll have a good talk with Li Xi during next practice."

I'm really not angry, I just want to replace Aiyin with Xiangzi.

"Hey hey, soyorin is so nice~"

Aine laughed sweetly like a little kid.

On the other side, the story segment of Kashiwagawa Miki and Ms. Nagasaki ended with Kashiwagawa Miki winning the scholarship, and turned his attention to the three people who were eating quietly.

"So, what did Aine and Touma come to visit me about? Or did you come to watch the game with me?"

“It’s like this…” Deng was about to say something when he was immediately interrupted by Aine.

"Well, Tomorin and I just wanted to ask what song Ke-chan was planning to play. We're such good friends, why don't you be open with us~"

Baihe Sanhui Xiaoxiong spread his hands and said, "We had no idea at all. We just hastily decided on the band's logo and other things."

"Um, Mr. Kashiwa—" Ms. Nagasaki spat the pumpkin rinds in her mouth onto her plate and asked with concern, "Are you forming a band with these kids or something?"

Kashiwa Sanhui had nothing to hide, so he admitted it quite frankly: "Yes, it was interesting after all. But it wasn't with Su Shi, it was with another group of kids."

"Then you are here to discuss this with Su Shi..."

There was a hint of worry on Ms. Nagasaki's face, as if she was afraid that Kashiwa Miki would use this as an excuse to approach her daughter and do something inappropriate.

"You're worrying too much," said Kashiwa Sanhui, a bit embarrassed. "The kids are so competitive, and I joined in because I felt embarrassed to refuse them. Plus, I can make sure they don't get into any trouble."

How could he possibly be interested in these underdeveloped little girls...Oh, Su Shi has already fully grown, no wonder he is worried about his daughter.

As for Aiyin and Deng, who were listening nearby, a hint of dejection flashed in their eyes. It turned out that the doctor was just treating the band as a child's playful companion...

"Besides--" He changed the subject and a look of longing flashed in Baihe Sanhui's eyes.

"You may not know that most children in China don't have youth... It's not that they don't have it, but their youth is very routine, like a formula that can only produce such a result under such conditions."

"For most people, playing and fighting together in front of the classroom, being scolded by the teacher together, running together on the playground, and taking a photo together three years later... well, it's over. This is your youth."

"I can't say this is a bad thing, but it's too late for me to experience a different kind of youth. I can only glimpse a little of what I once wanted in children like Aine and Suye."

Having said that, Kashiwa Sanhui looked at Deng and Aine with some doting, as well as Su Shi, whose expression showed a hint of sympathy.

"Being with them, besides wanting to realize my somewhat musical talent, is actually also satisfying the childhood self who was full of dreams and the future."

When I first came here, I didn't think about making a lot of money by taking advantage of the information gap and the system. Instead, I came to Neon to study and live step by step. It was probably these thoughts that were at work.

Aine was already sitting there in a daze. She found it a little unacceptable after imagining that kind of life. She turned her head and looked at Kashiwa Miki with eyes full of sighs.

Deng patted Baihe Sanhui's shoulder with her soft little hand, which was still wet with soup, as if to comfort him.

"Doctor, what a pity."

"I'm not dead! What's the pity about the lights being on?"

Although he knew that the "regret" Deng mentioned was referring to his past, Baihe Sanhui still wanted to say some witty words to liven up the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

"This is the so-called price. To gain something, you must lose something. I have experienced this very well..."

Ms. Nagasaki found two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine, and poured a full glass for both Kashiwa Sanhui and herself with respect and entrustment.

"From now on, I'll ask you to take good care of Su Shi."

"In order to ensure that Su Shi's youth and happiness are not wasted, I beg you to take more care of me."

Aine and Deng scratched their heads awkwardly. Aine felt a little unhappy, but after thinking about it for a moment, she knew what Ms. Nagasaki wanted to say.

Su Shi blushed a little and fiddled with her fingers helplessly.

Kashiwa Sanhui smiled awkwardly and returned the toast, but was so shocked by Ms. Nagasaki's words that he didn't know what to say.

Um... I know what you mean, but isn't this statement a bit too strange...
