"That... lemon cake, please try it." He slowly placed the yellow dessert in his hand in front of the red-haired woman in front of him.
"And this is for the little one..." He subconsciously wanted to use the forbidden word but was quickly interrupted by Theresa's majestic (murderous) eyes.
"Ah for our dear elder, aunt. She likes to eat bitter melon jelly!" This is another portion made with the remaining bitter melon.
Then he turned around and slowly poured a glass of low-alcohol fruit wine back to the woman named Himeko.
After receiving Himeko's approving gaze, he looked at the wine glass in his hand and said, "Although the alcohol content is a little low, it is just right with this dessert."
Himeko's mature and beautiful face was reflected in the translucent wine.
Both Xiang Lai and Himeko have red hair, and the two of them standing together now look like a pair of siblings.
But he has always known that his hair was not born like this, but became like this during the years when he was in a coma.
Two older women, one big and one small, sat here and chatted briefly with Xiang Lai and Kiana.
"I also learned a little about your situation beforehand, Kiana..."
Himeko said while taking a sip of wine and sitting on a stool: "But I am curious, am I also present in your 'adventure in another world'?"
Those beautiful big eyes looked at Kiana, revealing a deep curiosity in them.
"I'm also curious about what kind of existence I am in your impression?"
"If I remember correctly, I only saw you a few times when I traveled to Europe with Theresa. I didn't expect you to have such a deep impression of me." Himeko shook the wine glass in her hand.
It was obviously an ordinary cup, and there was only low-alcohol fruit wine in the cup, but when Himeko drank it, she felt like she was tasting red wine at a luxurious banquet.
"Teacher Himeko..." Kiana lowered her head in silence with mixed feelings, recalling many words in her heart.
There was silence for about half a minute. When Kiana raised her head again, she showed a confident smile: "Teacher Himeko is a good teacher."
Hearing this unexpected simplicity and the most proud compliment, Himeko subconsciously straightened her back.
"Oh, for me, this kind of praise is really the highest honor." Himeko showed a gratified smile.
At this moment, Himeko was a little dazed, seeing the young couple in front of her.
It's like seeing her accomplished student that grown up.
Himeko then took the gorgeous envelope signed by Kiana and said, "Do you want to be a good teacher like me who is praised by others?"
Kiana took the envelope and opened it: "What is this? The contract for the teacher of St. Freya Academy..."
She took a quick glance at the contents of the envelope.
"Huh? Can I be a teacher too?" This was Kiana's first reaction to herself.
"You stupid Kiana, have you really forgotten everything?" Our majestic dean of St. Freya's Academy wiped her mouth after finally finishing the bitter melon jelly in front of her.
"This is what you, Cecilia, and I have discussed before. After we complete our trip to Shenzhou, we will go to St. Freya Academy to become physical education teachers." Theresa sighed helplessly.
"Poor Kiana, your little brain wasn't very useful to begin with, and now it's completely gone..." Theresa lamented in an exaggerated tone, "What a pity, you lost the teacher's certificate you worked so hard to get before."
"What?!" Kiana's expression was full of confusion. It turned out that the previous self in this world was such a smart person. Could she even pass the teacher's qualification certificate, which sounded difficult to pass?
"Should I accept this? This job looks good. What should I do if I accept this? Do I need to review for the exam when I can't remember anything about it..."
Kiana looked at the contract in her hand, her thoughts gradually becoming complicated, and she began to think more and more.
Finally, the swaying eyes gradually turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, and she could vaguely hear a bang in her brain.
Kiana, whose brain was overloaded, fell into Xiang Lai's arms.
"Kiana, what's wrong with you?" Theresa and Himeko stood up quickly in fright.
Although Theresa stood up from the stool even shorter than when she did it: "Damn, is this the aftereffect of that strange disease?"
Xiang Lai, who knew his wife very well, looked embarrassed and said to Theresa and Himeko comfortingly: "No... you guys just think too much it's just her brain is a little overloaded."
"This girl..." Theresa stood on tiptoe and sat on the stool again with a speechless look on her face. "Why does she feel even dumber than before? If she gets any dumber, she'll be even worse than a paramecium."
"But with this kind of personality, maybe she would be more popular with little girls if she became a physical education teacher." Himeko had a different opinion about Kiana.
"Think about it carefully. Theresa and I will not disturb you two young lovers having fun there." When the words "young couple" were mentioned, there seemed to be some regret in the depths of Himeko's pupils.
"Please think about this matter carefully."
Xiang Lai looked at his wife, who was lying in his arms. Her brain was completely burned out and she couldn't think.
He glanced at the two who were getting up to leave and nodded helplessly: "I will discuss this with Kiana later."
"Then I'll wait for your news." Then Himeko hurriedly pulled Theresa, who seemed to want to eat another serving of bitter melon jelly, away.
After leaving the dessert shop called Valkyrie, Himeko stretched out her slender legs and walked slowly.
Theresa on the side had to jog to keep up.
"What a sweet couple they are! We two old women should stop being the third wheel." Thinking of the fact that although those two didn't show their affection in public, the details revealed that they had a very good relationship.
"Himeko, didn't I tell you? They've been married for a long time."
"Get... get married!" Himeko suddenly stopped and opened her pupils wide with a look of disbelief, "They are so young, almost as old as some of the students I teach?"
In a trance, Himeko suddenly realized that it was not that they were too young, but that she...
"Let's go... Theresa, let's go drink."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because all the good men have been snatched away early; when I reach my age... Oh, I won't say anymore..."
