Shen Gu Mirai ended up staying behind to cook.
It seemed like this little girl had planned on cooking from the start.
But if she wanted to cook, Beichuan Si was happy to be her assistant and take it easy.
"While we're on the topic, has Hui Li-chan not come home yet?" asked Shen Gu Mirai, who was frying anchovies, glancing sideways at Beichuan Si.
The anchovies' skin turned golden brown, sizzling enticingly in the olive oil.
Without looking up, Beichuan Si replied, "She said she's attending an art exhibition."
As he spoke, he placed the cut cubes of soft tofu into a small bowl, cleaned the cutting board and knife, and began slicing the shiitake mushrooms.
The scene resembled the harmony of newlyweds, but Shen Gu Mirai didn't seem to care much about it.
After all, she wasn't a shy girl. The chance to cook with Beichuan Si actually made her quite happy inside.
