I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Somehow the atmosphere in the kitchen became a little awkward.

Ito, the heartless instigator, was very confused about this atmosphere.

Only Sanqiao rolled his eyes and stared at him.

Ito, you're such an idiot who ruins the atmosphere.

After a while.

"Dinner is ready."

Kato Megumi brought two plates of dishes to the table and ordered four bowls of rice.

"Thank you, Sister Hui!"

Ito and Sanbashi thanked them repeatedly, took the rice, put their chopsticks aside, and clasped their hands together!

"I'm starting!" X2

The two extremely hungry people started to eat voraciously.

Mu Lin and Kato Megumi, who were not very hungry, ate slowly.

"Mu Linjun, didn't you say that you weren't full?"

"That's what I said."

"Then hurry up and eat, or they will finish it."

As she said this, Kato Megumi picked up a piece of meat and gave Mu Lin.

But Mu Lin didn't want to accept the offer, he put the bowl away and shook his head:

"No need, let them eat first, after all, they are starving too."

Kato Megumi's chopsticks holding the meat froze in mid-air, and she did not retract them. Instead, she stared at Mu Lin with a dull look.

The stalemate lasted for several seconds.

The latter finally had no choice but to hand over the bowl and take the meat she picked up.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"No, I'm not hungry anymore after watching you guys eat."

"Ok."

"So where did you go tonight? You came back so late and missed the last bus!"

Before Mu Lin could answer!

Ito and Mihashi's rice bowls were emptied in just two minutes. They slammed their chopsticks on the table and said in unison:

"I'm full! Thank you, Sister Hui, for the treat!!"

"You're welcome."

Ito said to Sanbashi: "Oh! That's right! Sanbashi! After eating and drinking, you should go for a walk outside to promote digestion!"

"That's right!"

Kato Hui said worriedly: "It's so late, don't go too far."

"Understood! Then! Sister Hui! Boss! We'll leave first! Don't worry! We'll be back soon!!"

"Ah."

After saying goodbye, Mihashi and Ito left the kitchen and walked out of the house.

In the dim night, the two walked in silence for a long distance before stopping in an open place where Mu Lin and Kato Megumi could not hear any sound.

Ito's eyes were full of envy and exclamation: "So sweet~"

Sanqiao's face was distorted with jealousy and he held his head and shouted: "Assholes!! Dog couple!! Dog abuse!! This is unforgivable!!!"

And at this time.

Because of the departure of Ito and Mihashi.

The atmosphere in the kitchen became awkward again.

Mu Lin and Kato Megumi stared at the table in silence for a long time.

Kato Huicai spoke first: "You haven't answered me yet."

"Hmm? Answer what?"

"Of course! Where did you go just now?! You came back so late!"

"Just wandering around the street, don't take it seriously."

"I always feel that the answer is perfunctory!"

Kato Megumi stood up, rolled up her sleeves and cleaned up the dishes, while Mu Lin sat on the chair to accompany her.

The sound of water dripping in the washbasin.

There was a buzzing sound caused by the electric water heater starting up not far away.

There was a slight rustling sound as the jade hands wiped the dishes with a towel.

All of these make the whole kitchen feel very warm and peaceful.

especially.

Kato Megumi hummed happily for some reason.

Mu Lin remembered that this song was played in a restaurant when he and she were having dinner there during the summer vacation.

A very nice, warm and beautiful song.

It seems to be a song expressing love.

correct.

I still remember that the waiter mistook them for a couple...

Looking at Kato Megumi's happy and busy back.

Mu Lin felt heavy in his heart.

Kato Megumi mistakenly thought that he was pitying her loneliness.

But what she didn't know was that he longed for an ordinary life in his heart, and he had fallen in love with such an ordinary woman a long time ago.

It’s just that I can’t get over the hurdle in my heart.

Because, no woman who falls in love with him seems to be able to escape the tragic fate.

After all, history books record that the last kings of ancient Rome and Great Britain were them...

The empire collapsed and the emperor suffered a tragic end.

of course.

If he could be guaranteed to live an ordinary life, he would definitely marry her!

But, I just don’t know what his future will be like.

The words that person said to him, "You can't stay ordinary for long no matter what." Does it come true?

I hope it doesn't work...

"Mulin-kun?"

"..."

"Mu Lin-kun?!"

Mu Lin came back to his senses and noticed that Kato Megumi had walked up to him and waved her hand.

She frowned and seemed angry.

"Mo~! You can actually be distracted at a time like this, so what are you thinking about?!"

"Nothing. Sorry."

"for you!"

Mu Lin took the towel handed over by Kato Hui and asked in confusion: "Hey, what are you doing for me?"

"Sure enough you didn't hear me! I asked you to help wipe the table and the grease on the stove!"

"Oh, alright."

Mu Lin got up and started to get busy, while Kato Megumi continued to wash the dishes.

The job of wiping the dirt was easy and Mu Lin finished it quickly.

He walked over and handed the towel to Kato Megumi and asked her to wash it, only to find that Kato Megumi's pink pajamas were stained with water and oil.

"Mei, your pajamas are stained."

"It's okay, just go back and change into something else."

"Isn't it hard to wash these fluffy pajamas?"

"It's a little hard to wash, but you don't have to worry too much!"

"Ah."

"Ok! We're done!" Kato Hui stacked the washed dishes and put them back in the cupboard, then wiped her hands with a dry towel. "You guys are going to Naoko's place tomorrow, right?"

"Ah."

"Then remember to go to bed early. I'll go back first."

"Ah."

"By the way. I've put the homework on your desk, remember to finish it!"

"Ah."

Kato Megumi walked out of the kitchen, and Mu Lin watched her back disappear at the door.

I feel a little disappointed.

suddenly!

She was like an elf-like girl, poking her head out from the crack of the door and said dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you going to take me to the door of my house?"

It's so close, isn't it necessary?

Although he thought so in his heart, looking at her frowning expression, Mu Lin nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, the two of them put on their shoes at the entrance and walked outside.

Dark as ink.

The cool evening breeze brings warmth to my face.

The two walked forward side by side.

It was only a dozen steps away, but Kato Megumi deliberately slowed down her pace and it took several minutes to walk there.

She paused, looked up at the night sky and exclaimed, "There are so many stars tonight."

"Yes."

"I don't know where Sanbashi and Ito went. They haven't come back yet."

Although Kato Megumi said this, she knew very well in her heart that the reason these two people left was to give her and Mu Lin some alone time.

I feel a little grateful.

"No matter where they go, they won't die anyway."

"What are you talking about!"

Kato Megumi was so angry that she slapped Mu Lin's shoulder hard.

"Okay, okay, we're already at your door."

"Should I go in then..."

Kato Megumi looked at the door of her house, tapping her chin with one hand, with a thoughtful expression.

"Stop it, you have to go to school tomorrow."

"Hehe, you're worried that I won't go to school either, so I can't ask for leave for you!"

"Absolutely not!"

"And! Speaking of this!"

Kato Megumi suddenly complained seriously.

"Mu Lin-kun! Don't you think about how you look in front of the teacher? It's too much for me to ask a girl like me who has no sense of existence to ask for leave for you?!"

"You just need to tell them."

"I really don't understand why you are so bold!"

"Okay, okay, go home and go to bed."

"Are you in such a hurry to get me back?! Then I won't go back!"

Kato Megumi started to act unreasonably.

You know what, Mu Lin really can't do anything with her in this state.

Seeing Mu Lin's helpless expression, Kato Hui said softly, "Okay, okay! I'm sleepy too, so I'll go home first!"

"Ah."

Kato Megumi pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing the door was closed, Mu Lin was about to turn around and leave.

But she suddenly poked her head out from the crack of the door again and said in a fierce voice, "Oh, right! Mu Lin-jun! There's one more thing I forgot to tell you!"

"what's up?"

Kato Hui stretched out her hand and drew a circle in the air and said, "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight!"

"what?"

"Don't get me wrong!"

"boom!"

The door was closed and a playful sound of someone trotting away was heard from inside the house.

The crisp sound of bare feet stepping on wooden boards is like that of a deer running around.

One can't help but imagine a pair of cute feet in white socks stepping on the smooth wooden board, and the mischievous look of its owner running away.
