Chapter 21 Shiina and Breakfast
"Do you want to eat now? I can make it fresh for you," Shiina Mahiru asked softly, her heart softened with pity.
Xia Sheng's situation is heartbreaking to hear, but she is not a heartless person.
The two are now quite familiar with each other; they are neighbors, jog together in the mornings, and he has even helped her out, so she should take care of him in return.
"I'm not hungry yet..." Xia Sheng replied awkwardly.
"That's right, you must have just come back from eating." Shiina Mahiru nodded, not minding.
"Do you eat a late-night snack?"
"No, I go to bed very early... Are you having a midnight snack?" Xia Sheng asked back.
"I also go to bed very early."
"In that case, you don't need to worry about me. Just make me one while you're at it."
"But you should be tutoring tomorrow, right? They'll probably invite you to stay for dinner."
"Hmm..." Xia Sheng wasn't sure either, but given today's situation, it was very likely.
Isshiki Iroha seemed quite satisfied with him as her tutor, and Mrs. Isshiki was very enthusiastic, so the head of the household had to work overtime until very late.
I definitely won't be able to avoid staying for dinner tomorrow.
"In that case, will you make breakfast?" Xia Sheng asked.
"Breakfast? I made it, you mean?"
"Yes, let's change the return gift to breakfast. If that's not possible, then we don't need to give a return gift at all."
"That won't do!" Shiina Mahiru resolutely refused, her attitude firm.
"You helped me, and I have to repay you. I don't want to owe anyone anything."
"It's just a small favor..."
Even a small busy task is still a busy task.
"You're too much... I helped you, not for your return gift." Xia Sheng shook his head helplessly.
"I don't usually need anyone's help, it's just that you're being too forceful." Shiina Mahiru laughed, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
"You were clearly the one who was more assertive... I was just trying to help because we're neighbors. You're a girl, carrying so much stuff." Xia Sheng sighed.
He finally understood how serious this angel was.
"Then you'll have to bear the consequences of helping others indiscriminately," Shiina Mahiru said with a smug smile.
"Fine, whatever makes you happy."
"Then it's decided. I'll make an extra breakfast every day... Is there anything you'd like to eat?"
"Can we order more food?"
"It depends. I won't do anything that's too complicated."
"Then why did you ask... I don't have any dietary restrictions, I'll eat whatever you make."
"I understand, please don't get your hopes up too high," Shiina Mahiru gently reminded her.
"Now that you mention it, I'm really looking forward to it."
"Then you can look forward to it yourself..." Shiina Mahiru's tone was a little cold. As she closed the door, she added in a low voice.
"See you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Xia Sheng didn't linger; he picked up his textbooks and went home.
When he got home, he put his textbooks on his desk in his room, threw his schoolbag down, and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Xia Sheng didn't write. Instead, he reviewed his junior high school knowledge, not just science subjects, but also humanities subjects.
He needs to figure out the level of difficulty here so he can provide more specific guidance to Isshiki Iroha.
He was serious about being a tutor.
There's no rush to write the novel. I'll wait until I receive news from Black Cat and confirm the publication date before continuing.
He doesn't need any ideas, plot development, or character design, so writing a volume is quite quick.
Xia Sheng was reading until after 11 p.m. when he felt sleepy and prepared to go to bed.
Reviewing junior high school material can be a bit tedious, because you can recall everything after just one look, there are no difficult points, and you don't need to use your brain.
It's just mentally exhausting.
He didn't dare stay up late, not because he was afraid of affecting his health, but because going to that place meant he was asleep.
What if he's supposed to go today, but can't go because he hasn't slept?
Protecting the world is the most important thing.
......
The next day, Xia Sheng woke up normally, and as expected, nothing happened the night before.
It seems, just as I guessed, that I won't be able to go there until Friday.
Hopefully, it's just a pattern, and not something wrong with Him.
Xia Sheng got up, washed up, put on his sportswear, and went down for a morning run to exercise.
The boys' tracksuits are green, which is a minor issue; it's fine as long as there's no hat.
He hadn't run for long when Shiina Mahiru, dressed in a red tracksuit, also came to run. She still had her hair tied in a high ponytail.
After warming up, Shiina Mahiru waited for Natsuo to pass by and then started running with him.
The two of them ran together yesterday.
Good morning, Shiina-kun.
Good morning, Xia.
After exchanging greetings, the two didn't talk much more and ran until the end, then went back to their apartment together.
Back home, Natsuo took a shower and then read a book while looking forward to Shiina Mahiru's breakfast.
I don't know if it was just regular bread, fried eggs, milk, or rice balls or something.
It's good enough that there's food at all. He only helped with a small favor, and if he cares too much, it would make his ulterior motives obvious.
A while later, his doorbell rang.
Xia Sheng put down his textbook and immediately ran out to open the door.
Outside the door stood Shiina Mahiru, wearing an apron and with her hair still styled, but she had nothing in her hands.
"Excuse me, could I borrow your tableware? I don't have any extras."
"Okay, right away." Xia Sheng immediately went back inside to get the tableware.
"One plate and two bowls will do," Shiina Mahiru reminded from the doorway.
"OK."
Xia Sheng quickly returned to the door with the tableware.
"for you."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Shiina Mahiru took the cutlery and went back to her house.
Xia Sheng didn't go back inside; he just waited at the door.
A moment later, Shiina Mahiru came out of her house, carrying a plate of steaming food.
Xia Sheng immediately recognized what was in his tableware: a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, and a plate of fried fish pieces.
My stomach seems to be moving.
As Shiina Mahiru approached, Natsuo smelled a pleasant aroma that whetted his appetite.
"It's not a fancy breakfast, I don't know if it'll suit your taste." Shiina Mahiru handed the plate to Natsuo.
Xia Sheng took the bowl, smelled the aroma, and his mouth watered.
"This is already a very generous breakfast, and it smells so good. It must be delicious. I would be so happy to have breakfast like this every day."
"You want to eat this every day? That's quite a dream." Shiina Mahiru looked up at him and shook her head with amusement.
"What if I find an opportunity to help you every day?"
"I won't give you another chance."
That's a real shame.
"This is a one-time offer, so eat it while it's hot. Don't rush to give me the plate; you can give it to me later tonight." After saying this, Shiina Mahiru turned and went back.
"it is good."
Xia Sheng couldn't wait to take his breakfast back to his room and start enjoying it.
First, drink some warm miso soup to whet your appetite, then pick up a piece of golden fish and put it in your mouth along with the rice.
Instantly, Xia Sheng's taste buds were awakened, and a sense of happiness welled up within him.
Absolutely delicious!
Xia Sheng began to wolf down his food, finishing it in just a few bites, feeling warm all over.
He leaned back in his chair, still wanting more.
However, Shiina Mahiru did not do much; she did not consider that men and women have different appetites.
Xia Sheng didn't intend to shamelessly ask for another serving; he was already quite satisfied. This was much tastier than the bread and milk from the convenience store.
Shiina Mahiru's cooking skills are truly excellent.
Xia Sheng wanted her to make him breakfast every day.
If you have an idea, you should take action. The two are neighbors, so as long as they get to know each other and get closer, there is a good chance of success.
It's only a matter of time, because the two of them are now jogging together in the morning, have common activities, and can communicate normally, so it's only a matter of time before their relationship improves.
It would be so wonderful to enjoy breakfast made by angels every day.
