There's something wrong with my love tips

Chapter 32 The show ends here
"What are you looking at? Don't you want to have dinner?"

Mochizuki Maaya narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of danger in her eyes. She licked her lips and asked, "Or have you decided to eat me tonight?"

"No no no!"

I don't know if he was frightened by the prompt just now, but Natsume Weichuan waved his hands hurriedly and explained:

"I'm just surprised that not only is Mayaya-chan's cooking delicious, but her knife skills are also so amazing."

It is possible to make delicious food by strictly following the recipe, but it is impossible to achieve such a level of knife skills without long-term practice.

If he had been in charge just now, he might have been able to make a dish of stir-fried vegetables and meat.

After listening to Natsume Yuikawa's explanation, Mochizuki Maaya paused and whispered, "Because I have been doing similar things in the orphanage."

Natsume Weichuan stopped as he was about to turn on the faucet again and looked at her in surprise.

Although I had known through hints that Mochizuki Maaya had such an experience, this was the first time she said it.

"I'm sorry, I don't know that."

After saying this apologetically, Natsume Weichuan paused for a while before pretending to be ignorant and asking, "You have been helping with this kind of thing since you were a child. How do people there view you?"

Mochizuki Mayaya was silent, and before Natsume Yuikawa saw her eyes turn red, she turned her face away.

Being able to talk about his experience in the orphanage so openly, but avoiding talking about it, it must have been a very unpleasant experience.

Natsume Weichuan tactfully stopped asking questions and turned on the faucet. With his efforts, the water washed the ingredients thoroughly.

Originally, he had thought of asking Mochizuki Maaya to teach him how to cook before starting, but after this little episode, the only sounds in the kitchen were the occasional sound of cutting vegetables and the sizzling of lettuce being put into the pot, and the two of them hardly communicated anymore.

After dinner was ready, the two of them placed the food on the table and sat at their respective seats.

During the process, he still didn't say a word.

The ice between the two of them seemed like it was going to last for a long time, but the moment Natsume Yuikawa picked up the chopsticks, he seemed to suddenly think of something and raised his head to look at Mochizuki Maaya opposite him.

The two people's eyes successfully met in the middle. It was not that the latter had been looking at Natsume Yuikawa, but that they were thinking of the same thing.

"I'm gonna start now."

They shouted in unison, and as they ate the steaming dinner, the thick ice wall began to melt gradually.

"Today's miso soup smells delicious."

Natsume Weichuan took a light sniff at the rim of the bowl, smelling the aroma of the mixture of miso and broth, and then he couldn't wait to take a bite.

The taste is not too strong, and even the first bite tastes a bit light.

Probably because they didn't know his taste, and considering that it would be eaten with other meals, they adjusted the taste to be just right after drinking it.

This is not because the taste is lacking, but it is a home-cooked dish that is different from instant miso soup. It is quite appetite-stimulating and suitable as a side dish for meals.

"Sure enough, it tastes delicious." Natsume Weichuan praised frankly.

"Thank you."

Even though her eyes were not looking towards the other side, Mochizuki Mayaya was still secretly observing Natsume Yuikawa's reaction after drinking it. After hearing his praise, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The result this time should be different.

After dinner, Natsume Weichuan volunteered to take on the job of washing the dishes.

Before working in Tachibana Miyuki's shop, he had worked part-time as a dishwasher, and now he was quite familiar with the job. However, while he was washing the dishes, the footsteps of Mochizuki Maaya were heard behind him.

"Maaya-chan, you are mainly responsible for making dinner, so let me do the menial work."

Natsume Yuikawa turned around while speaking, but he stopped talking when he saw what Mochizuki Maya was holding in her hands.

"I'm sorry, I took out the rabbit doll that I had pledged to you without your permission."

Mochizuki Maaya leaned towards him apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. This originally belonged to you. Just don't take it out."

Natsume Weichuan quickly dried his hands, then helped Mochizuki Mayura up, stared at her slightly trembling eyelashes, and asked: "What do you want to do by taking it out suddenly?"

Natsume Yuikawa didn't think that Mochizuki Maaya would take the rabbit doll out of the cupboard just because she missed her. She must have a special reason.

Sure enough, after hearing his question, Mochizuki Maya looked up at him and explained, "I want you to see something. Can you come with me?"

Natsume Weichuan nodded, followed her back to the living room, and finally sat down on the sofa.

“Just treat it as some performance.”

After saying this, Mochizuki Maaya grabbed the rabbit doll from behind with one hand and lifted it up.

Then, before Natsume Weichuan could react, a female voice suddenly sounded in the living room.

"Maaya-chan, did you take the initiative to help wash the dishes? You are so sensible. Auntie likes obedient children like you the most."

At first glance, I thought it was a kind old lady who suddenly appeared from somewhere.

But if you listen carefully, you can hear that this sentence still comes from Mochizuki Maya's mouth, but she is deliberately imitating the hoarse voice unique to middle-aged and elderly people.

"This is?"

Natsume Yuikawa thought that Mochizuki Maya's imitation was lifelike enough, but he didn't understand her intention.

"Shhh."

Mochizuki Maaya's expression was calm. She raised her index finger to her lips and made a gesture of silence.

"Sorry, please continue."

Natsume Weichuan realized that he might be too impatient, and immediately moved back and gave the right to speak back to her.

Mochizuki Maaya held the rabbit and continued as she had just done, but her tone was no longer kind, and she spoke with resentment:
"What!? You said that all along, the other kids were ganging up on you and forcing you to come and help?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Every time you come to help, you are always talking and laughing. How can you be forced?"

"It's probably because you've just arrived and you want to gain sympathy and get preferential treatment in this way, so you tell this lie to discredit others, right?"

"It's really scary. You're so young, but you're so scheming. From now on, I'll let you do the yard sweeping!"

After imitating the last sentence, Mochizuki Maaya put down the rabbit, returned to her original voice, and said, "The performance ends here."

After hearing this, Natsume Weichuan finally understood everything.

This is the answer to what I asked before.
