Re:Zero - Starting Life in Chaos.

'Thump, thump, thump.'

Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, the girl's chattering voice was heard.

"Ne~senior! Look!"

Beichen, who was sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, turned his head and looked when he heard this.

Kitagawa was seen wearing a black sleeveless skirt with a white suit jacket draped over her shoulders.

Her long hair with a gold-pink gradient was loose but not messy, and she crossed her arms across her chest, revealing her proud figure.

Although his tone was excited, his expression was very cold.

And because Beichen was sitting on the sofa, he inexplicably felt like he was being looked down upon.

Unlike her usual liveliness, Kitagawa at this moment looks like a workplace queen.

Beichen was stunned.

It should be said that it is very eye-catching and very aggressive.

"Yeah! Pretty!" Beichen gave a thumbs up and praised in an exaggerated tone, "As expected of a beautiful girl who can be a model. I am fascinated by her."

"Whee!"

After getting the answer he wanted, Kitagawa broke down in a second, smiled happily, and his facial expressions began to become gradually exaggerated.

Hearing the noise in the living room, Nanami came out with the remaining side dishes.

"Hai Meng, come out..." Before she could finish her words, she saw Kitagawa posing in the living room. Nanami was stunned and couldn't help but change the topic and asked, "Why are you dressed like this? Are you going out shopping?"

"No, I just want to let Senior admire my new look."

Kitagawa responded with a smile, then tried to suppress his pride and raised his eyebrows at Nanami in a pretentious manner.

"Duooh~~~ Nanami, what do you think?"

Before Nanami could reply, he couldn't help laughing out loud again.

Nanami didn't understand what the girl's funny point was and couldn't help but frown.

Ignoring Kitagawa's gaze towards her, Nanami smiled and said to Beichen:

"Xiaojun, wash your hands and eat."

"it is good."

Putting away his phone, Beichen stood up and went into the bathroom to wash his hands.

When he came out, Kitagawa had returned to normal and was standing beside Nanami, who was setting the table, asking her what she thought of his look.

The white suit she was wearing had already been thrown on the sofa, revealing her fair and tender shoulders.

Seeing Beichen coming out, Kitagawa hurriedly waved.

"Senior, hurry up, I'm starving."

"I'm coming."

Beichen quickened his pace and came to the dining table. Qihai took the initiative to pull out a chair for him. Beichen did not act pretentiously and sat down.

"I'm starting."

The three of them sat down and completed the pre-meal etiquette. Kitagawa couldn't wait to pick up the ingredients from the pot.

Before, she had been in a state of overwhelming girlish shame and had not felt hungry. But now that she smelled the fragrance of the food, she could no longer suppress her appetite and started to show off.

"Hi~hoo~his~hoo~"

However, the ingredients just out of the pot will not cool down so quickly. Even if the dipping sauce is used to cool it down, it only stays on the surface and the inside is still hot.

The girl was so scalded that she had to breathe quickly and fan herself with her hands.

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Nanami saw this and unhappily brought the girl a glass of ice water.

Kitagawa took the cup and took a big gulp.

"Phew~ I almost lost my life."

With a lingering sigh, Kitagawa flattered:

"Hehe, it's because Nanami-chan's cooking is so delicious."

"You~" Rolling her eyes at Kitagawa, Nanami turned her head and slowly started eating the food on the plate.

At the same time, he kept his eyes and ears open, and from time to time he would pick up food for Beichen and Kitagawa.

Really feed the food into your mouth.

The wife’s attributes are off the charts.

Qi Hai made a clear soup base, and considering that Beichen liked spicy food, she prepared a dipping sauce with spicy peppers for Beichen.

It’s a pity that the spiciness of the island country’s Tang Xinzi is still a bit bland in Beichen’s opinion…

The three of them ate hot pot and chatted, and an hour or two passed in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you for the treat, I'm full~"

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Kitagawa took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then slumped in the chair, looking up at the ceiling with a look of contentment.

After a while, when Beichen put down his bowl and chopsticks, Kitagawa sat up straight and looked at Beichen with hope.

"Nei~senpai, how do you think my look was just now?"

"Hmm?" Beichen looked at the girl in confusion, not understanding what she wanted to do, but still said truthfully, "Didn't I just say it? It's amazing."

"Hehe, can that cover up the impression from this morning?"

"Ah this..."

Beichen was speechless. My goodness, he cares so much about his own image.

So this is why you dress up so carefully?

Beichen couldn't help wanting to laugh, but when he saw the girl's slightly clenched fists, he held it back.

It's not uncommon for teenage girls to be concerned about how they appear to others.

In order to reassure Kitagawa, Beichen coughed lightly and nodded:

"Of course. All my memories of you have been overwritten by your appearance just now."

"I think that whenever I see you in the future, I will remember what you looked like today."

Maybe it was because Beichen answered too quickly that Kitagawa was a little unconvinced.

"Is what senior said true?"

"Is that natural?"

"Didn't you lie to me?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

"Really?"

"real."

"So do you remember what we looked like when we first met?"

"It's all sticky... er..."

As soon as he said this, Beichen knew he had said the wrong thing, but unfortunately, it was too late.

"What~Senior is lying!" Kitagawa complained with a sad face.

"...Ah, this." Beichen scratched his head awkwardly.

Nanami, who was standing by, felt that Kitagawa's behavior was inappropriate and gently rebuked him:

"Haimeng, don't make things difficult for Xiaojun. You are just forcing her too much."

"No way~ I just want to leave a good impression on my senior~" Kitagawa turned his face away and said angrily, "Nanami-chan, you don't want to be remembered by your senior for the way you were in the maze, do you?"

"..."

Nanami didn't say anything. Thinking back to the scene in the maze, she didn't look any better.

Although it was not covered in mucus, it was still covered in dust and had a foul odor.

Thinking of this, Qihai's face looked a little unnatural, and his eyes looked evasive when he looked at Beichen.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Beichen knew that Kitagawa cared so much about her image in his mind, which didn’t necessarily mean that she liked him.

However, at least it shows that he still holds a very important position in the girl's heart.

It's normal for Nanami to care. Who would want their image in the eyes of their idol to collapse?

Stroking his chin, Beichen looked at the two people who seemed a little depressed and decided to increase their intensity.

Clapping his hands, he attracted the two people's attention. Beichen coughed lightly and said:

"Ahem, Hai Meng, I'm honored that you value your image in my heart so much."

"But you and Nanami are both wrong."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other, and both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
