Chapter 95 Damn Xinchun, sooner or later one day I will eat you into poverty!

Fujii Itsuki came to the kitchen.

Although it is a newly rented house, the kitchen is fully equipped with cooking equipment.

Gas stove, oven, steamer, toaster, stand mixer, etc.
In addition to these modern appliances, there is also a set of tea utensils placed on the wooden tea table. On the tea table is a lush green bonsai pine and a rockery, which is fresh and refined.

Following Matsumae Shinharu's instructions, Fujii Itsuki first coated the pickled cucumbers cut into long strips with flour, then soaked them in beer and butter batter, and when the oil temperature reached 80% hot, he threw them into the pan for frying.

sizzle
The heat, the sour smell of pickles, and the aroma of beer and butter intertwined and lingered over the kitchen.

"Teacher Fujii is awesome!"

Matsumae Shinchun placed his fingers together on his chest, tilted his head slightly, and smiled.

Fujii Itsuki didn't expect that as her teacher, he could not help but smile just by being praised by the girl.

Overjoyed.

"Are the batter coated well?" He used a spoon to separate the pickles in the pan one by one.

"Just right. Strange, the teacher is so good at making pickles even though it's his first time. When Xinchun first started learning, it took him many tries to get the timing right before putting the pickles in the pot."

"Matsumae, you're making me feel embarrassed by all the praise you've given me."

"Teacher Fujii deserves the title." Matsumae Shinchun nodded slightly.

Fujii Itsuki is only responsible for coating the fish with batter and putting it into the pan; matters such as controlling the temperature of frying still have to be controlled by Song Qian.

He temporarily stepped back and watched Matsumae Shinchun busy in front of him.

On the side, the mini lobster rolls, bacon-wrapped chili, mini bagel pizzas, and grilled chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce that she had prepared in advance were already laid out.

Each one is delicious and beautifully presented.

This was not the first time that pickled cucumbers were made, but these dishes were made by Matsumae Shinchun by following the instructional video step by step.

She is so thoughtful.

I just said casually that I wanted to eat some American food.
Fujii Itsuki stood behind her, looking at her long brown hair falling down to her waist and her busy figure in front of the kitchen counter wearing a brown apron.

The girl's neck was as white as jade, with a few strands of hair scattered on it.

The more I saw how sensible Matsumae was, the more I felt sorry for her sad look after being bullied by Xiao Jiuhua just now.

".Are you okay?"

"Teacher?" Matsumae Shinchun was puzzled, "Why did you say that suddenly?"

"Jiuhua spoke to you so coldly just now, like a stranger."

Matsumae Shinchun turned around and continued to pick up the fried pickles, "It's okay."

At this time, through the gap in the corner of the door outside the kitchen, a pair of purple eyes were secretly peeking into the kitchen.

Fujii Itsuki: "You obviously think Jiuhua is so important. She was your only playmate when you were a child."

"Xiaoyue must have her own reasons."

"."

Should I say now that Jiuhua was angry with you in the past? She took the initiative to break up with you?
Fujii Itsuki thinks not.

Matsumae Shinharu is indeed strong. As a young lady, she has experienced two car accidents involving her mother and classmates, so she must have the psychological ability to endure.

But this doesn't mean she won't feel heartbroken.

When she felt heartbroken, Fujii Itsuki felt himself inexplicably heartbroken as well.

Firstly, this child would never say that she felt sad or bitter inside, and she kept it all to herself. Secondly, Fujii Itsuki also promised Sakurahaku that he would take good care of Matsumae in Otaru.

Matsumae suffers from anxiety disorder.

Fujii Itsuki thought about it and said, "Just now when Jiuhua asked me to come here, I asked about the things between you two. Jiuhua said that she didn't hate you."

When Matsumae Shinchun heard this, the spoon she was using to scoop up the pickles stopped in mid-air.

The girl couldn't believe it.

At this moment, her mind was immediately flooded with many thoughts and beautiful memories of the past when she held hands with Xiaojiu and Huayue.

Matsumae Shinchun was so excited that she turned back immediately, but in her haste, the pickles in the spoon fell down, spilling the hot oil and splashing onto her hands.

"what--!"

The spoon fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?!"

"Not bad."

"Quick, rinse with cold water first."

Hot oil splashing on hands is a common problem in the kitchen. Fujii Shu asked her to go to the sink and rinse the water. He opened the refrigerator to see if there was any ice cubes that could be used for cold compress.
Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, I only found one watermelon popsicle. The rest were ice cream.

It seems that Matsumae quite likes eating these snacks.

Forget it, popsicles will do.

Fujii Itsuki came to Matsumae Shinchun with a popsicle in her hand. She was washing her skin with cold water.

"Matsumae."

"teacher?"

"Stretch out your hand."

"."

Matsumae Shinchun hesitated for a moment, but after a few seconds, she still reached out.

"Both hands are a little burned?"

Fujii Itsuki originally wanted Matsumae to hold it himself. After all, it is not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, not to mention that they are in a teacher-student relationship.

Both of Kesong's hands were splashed with water, and the injuries were all on the right side of the back of his hands. He could only reach for another watermelon popsicle.

Both popsicles were placed on the right side of the girl's hand, and Fujii Itsuki pinched the sides of the popsicles while also pinching Matsumae Shinharu's little hand.

The two faced each other.

How could a girl's hands be so soft?
This was the first thought that came to Fujii Itsuki's mind when he touched her little hand.

When Matsumae Shinchun's hands were held, she lowered her head in embarrassment, her face flushed.

At such a close distance, Fujii Itsuki saw the small teardrop mole under the right corner of Matsumae's eye. The child's eyebrows and eyes looked too much like the professor's.
It's just that she is younger than the professor, prettier and more charming.

This child is so beautiful.

Jiuhuayue was watching outside anxiously with a frown on her face. When she saw Fujii Itsuki holding a popsicle and pinching Matsumae Xinchun's hand, she became anxious.

She knew it!

She already knew it!
That's what Xinchun is like!
Without you realizing it, the things you care about in your heart will be quietly taken away!
She was too lazy to care about the past, after all, it was too long ago. But what was this? Why did he take away her only good friend?
Jiuhuayue couldn't help it, and rushed in with a "click".

When Fujii Itsuki and Matsumae Shinharu heard the noise, they both looked towards the door at the same time.

Both of them saw that Jiu Huayue was very anxious, her face was tense and her brows were furrowed.

"Nine flowers?"

"X-Xiaoyue?"

"let me!"

Jiuhuayue pushed Fujii Itsuki away, and reached out to grab the two popsicles at the same time, along with Matsumae Shinchun's two hands.

The moment she pushed Fujii Itsuki away, she breathed a sigh of relief.

My tense heart also relaxed.

Fujii Itsuki didn't understand what was going on at all. "Jiuka, what are you doing?"

Why did this girl suddenly rush in?

Jiu Huayue turned to glare at him, but after a second or two, she seemed to think it wasn't his fault, and pouted, looking away:
"Is it not okay for me to care about Matsumae-san?"

When Matsumae Shinchun heard this, her hazel eyes lit up and her tone became much brighter, "Xiaoyue."

"That being said, why did you suddenly barge in? Why couldn't you just say no? Why are you being so rude?"

Fujii Itsuki vaguely realized that Xiao Jiuhua might be jealous of him.

It's just like Chitose being jealous of himself.

Chitose would always hint at the topic of his conversation with any girl even if he saw her talking to her for a while.

In order to avoid being discovered and feeling unhappy, Chitose would use a lot of words to cover up her purpose.

It is almost the same as the current Jiuhua.
You said you were doing it for Matsumae, but actually you are just jealous!

Hi.
Poor Matsumae, he still looks pitiful, as if saying, "Xiaoyue finally cares about me."

Fujii Itsuki only sighed in his heart and did not expose Jiuhuayue.

"I'll go get the fried pickles." As soon as Fujii Itsuki left, Jiuhuayue felt even more relaxed.

"Xiaoyue, Teacher Fujii just said that Xiaoyue, you——"

Ah, another trouble has come.

After many years, Matsumae Shinharu felt the feeling of being held by her childhood sweetheart again. Although the environment was very strange, the words Xiaoyue said just now must have been out of concern for her.

Jiu Huayue didn’t think so much about it. She just wanted to get out of here.

"Yeah, uncle is right."

"Xiaoyue, you are not angry with me, right? You are not blaming me, right? It is my fault that I stopped writing to you, Xiaoyue. I should not have stopped writing to you just because I couldn't find you, Xiaoyue."

Jiu Huayue felt a little sorry for her as she listened to the recollection of their old relationship.

She didn't want to be so heartless - after Fujii Itsuki left, she simply shook off her hand.

"Matsumae-san, let's not talk about the past anymore, okay? It's all in the past."

"But Xiaoyue and I used to have such a good relationship."

"The past is the past, and the present is the present. You don't know what I've been through over the years, and I'm not interested in what's happened to you over the years."

"But there are so many things between us that we can reminisce about."

The hands of the childhood sweetheart were icy cold due to the watermelon popsicle.

It was these hands that almost took the uncle's soul away!

Xinchun, ah Xinchun. Why are you always like this?

but.

At this time, Jiuhuayue was certain that Matsumae Xinchun invited the uncle to her home because of her.

Although I feel a little ashamed of Xinchun's little thoughts, I can understand her.

After all, she had been in school for four months, but the two of them had hardly spoken to each other.

Jiu Huayue held her childhood sweetheart's hand and said in a calm tone, "Okay, Songqian-san, we are just ordinary classmates now, okay? I don't want to talk about the past anymore, and you don't say anything, okay?"

"."

At this time, Matsumae Shinchun felt that Xiaoyue was not as resistant to her as before.

She also said that she and she were just ordinary classmates.

Does that explain it?
Is there still hope that we can be good friends again?

She invited Mr. Fujii today just because she had been feeling increasingly uneasy in recent days and felt that her anxiety disorder was showing signs of recurring, so she wanted to be alone with the teacher.

But unexpectedly, Xiaoyue also came here today.

As expected, Mr. Fujii is my lucky star, right?
No wonder the Fox God would always point to the southwest (where Fujii Itsuki lived) for him when he prayed and drew lots every day, and Baihua also stood on Mr. Fujii's shoulders that day.

Fujii Sensei is unique to himself.

Matsumae Shinchun suddenly remembered the scene of him holding her hand just now and blushed again.

Jiu Huayue held her hand, saw her expression and eyes, and thought:

Sure enough, Xinchun was still the same when facing herself, and she still cared very much about her having nothing to do with the uncle.

*
After the last fried pickle is out of the frying pan, six hearty American dishes are ready. Steaks are also grilled on a grill or charcoal.

The dining table at the Matsumae family's home is a traditional Japanese dining table.

Perhaps it was a tradition of the Matsumae family. Matsumae Shinharu was used to sitting on his knees, so after moving here, the corresponding tableware was also set in the same way.

In fact, kneeling is not good for girls, as it can easily deform their legs, but Fujii saw that Matsumae Shinchun did not have this sign, probably because of her good habits. She would not kneel for too long.

"Uncle, sit with me."

"why?"

"No reason!"

"."

Little Jiuhua you——

Really domineering.

I like it very much.

Fujii Itsuki saw the burns on Matsumae Shinchun, luckily the scar was not big, "Is your hand okay now?"

"Hmm? Thank you for your concern, Mr. Fujii. I feel much better now, but I still feel a little pain."

Matsumae Shinharu stroked the snow fox that was sleeping on her lap.

"That's good--"

Fujii Itsuki felt someone nudged him with his arm.

He turned his head.

Jiuhuayue frowned.

The two made eye contact.

'What are you doing to me?'

'Eat quickly and go home after eating.'

'in a hurry?'

"It's not good to go back too late. What if there are thieves again?"

Fujii Itsuki knew Jiuhuayue’s little thoughts.

She is cute, but this girl is a little too targeting Matsumae today.

He just didn't want to fulfill Xiao Jiuhua's wish.

When Fujii Itsuki saw Matsumae Shinchun feeding Baihua cooked meat, he took a piece of medium-rare steak from the iron rack.

After cutting it, he handed it to Matsumae Shinchun in front of Jiuhuayue.

"Come on, Matsumae, thank you for your hard work."

"Teacher Fujii..." Matsumae Shinchun was a little flattered.

Jiuhuayue felt that the uncle did it on purpose!

Uncle, what do you mean?

You are obviously my good friend!!!

Fujii Itsuki turned around. Jiuhuayue originally thought that he was going to cut a piece for himself, but he didn't expect that this guy would feed the steak directly into his own mouth.

Too much, too much
Jiuhuayue’s little mouth was puffed out.

"Here, Jiuhua, it's yours." Seeing this, Fujii Itsuki smiled and cut another piece for her.

".Are you trying to tease me? I'm not that hypocritical."

"Oh," Fujii Itsuki took it back decisively, "Then I'll give it to Matsumae again--"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Jiu Huayue snatch the steak from his bowl with a fork and put it into her mouth in just three seconds.

Fujii Itsuki smiled bitterly, "What are you doing?"

"Eat steak." Jiu Huayue chewed as a matter of course, and a lump appeared on the right side of her cheek.

"Like a beggar who's gone mad with hunger. Look at Songqian, how elegantly he eats. I remember when I first met you, weren't you eating elegantly too?"

Matsumae Matsumae Matsumae
The uncle talks about Matsumae all the time!

Just ask Songqian to clean up your room, you stinky uncle!
Still elegant. You don't even know how to shave your beard in the morning, and you're still elegant
annoying!

What a nuisance!
"Humph"

Jiuhuayue decided to ignore him and eat her meal in peace.

As for Xinchun
While eating, Matsumae Shinchun and Fujii Itsuki were chatting about some things at school.

Every time, Matsumae Shinchun was amused by the uncle and laughed with her hands covering her face.

She laughed and kept touching the white fox on her legs.

Xinchun, you are so hateful!

I clearly invited this uncle here just for me, so why am I chatting with him so happily?
Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?
What a sinister little idea!
Jiuhuayue was sulking, listening to the two people chatting while eating, and ate ten bowls of rice from Matsumae Shinchun's house.

Hateful Heart Spring.
Sooner or later, I will eat you into poverty!

See how you invite the uncle to your home for dinner!

While thinking, Jiuhuayue stuffed another piece of steak and fried pickles into her mouth and chewed hard.
