The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

"Mr. Xia, whoever marries you in the future will surely enjoy endless blessings."

Mrs. Xigong looked at the handsome Xia Qiu in front of her, took the kitchen knife and vegetables, and smiled with gratitude. Her movements were skillful and elegant, and each cut was even and neat. It was obvious that she was a frequent visitor to the kitchen.

Hearing Mrs. Xigong's words, Xia Qiu was slightly startled, looked at Mrs. Xigong, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Xigong, you are too kind."

After a pause, he gently stirred the base ingredients in the pot. The air was filled with a mellow aroma, and his voice was also lingering with this aroma, becoming softer.

"Speaking of blessings, I think a kind and tenacious person like you will definitely have blessings in the future. It's really not easy for one person to raise Naoko and Yuzuru so well. I admire you from the bottom of my heart."

He slightly turned sideways, looked seriously into Mrs. Nishimiya's eyes, and said sincerely: "Also, if there is a chance in the future, I also hope to help you share more, whether it is the trivial matters of life or taking care of the children, please don't be polite to me."

Mrs. Xigong paused for a moment with the knife in her hand. She looked up at Xia Qiu, a different emotion flashed in her eyes, as if she was moved, and a little shy.

She lowered her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and whispered: "Xia Jun, you are such a thoughtful child."

Xia Qiu didn't respond, but just kept an eye on Mrs. Xigong out of the corner of his eye.

Just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The first thing Qiongmei did was to look towards the door and pout her lips slightly.

There was no need to guess, she probably knew that it must be the evil big-breasted senior girl who came.

"Qiong, please open the door."

At this time, Xia Qiu's voice of instructions came from the kitchen.

Sister Qiong walked to the door reluctantly and opened it gently.

"Qiong, where is my junior fellow student?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up the lovely sister Qiongmei and gently rubbed her tender face. It was very comfortable and had a refreshing fragrance.

When Qiongmei felt the booming chest, her face turned red and her eyes were filled with anger. She thought to herself that the guy with big breasts was taking advantage of her youth to bully her.

"Onii-chan is in the kitchen."

As she said that, she quickly pushed Kasumigaoka Utaha away and jumped down.

Kasumigaoka Utaha let go with a smile, then walked in. The first thing she saw was Eriri biting the tip of a pen while practicing.

There are also two cute little lolis.

Xia Qiu had previously briefly told her that the neighbor next door to her home was a divorced young woman who lived alone with her two daughters.

Now in the room, with the addition of Qiong-mei, there are three cute little lolis.

Moreover, I guess the mother of the two cute lolis is here too, right?

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked towards the kitchen with her big burgundy eyes, revealing an unfathomable look and a dangerous smile on the corners of her mouth.

Humph, it turns out that my junior is not a serious person!

The habit was exposed again.

Then, Jiandan said hello to Eriri and walked towards the kitchen.

"Young man, it's so pleasant."

Hearing the gentle voice of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Xia Qiu's hands suddenly stopped moving, as if he was caught in the act of being unfaithful, and an inexplicable sense of guilt surged in his heart.

He turned around slowly and forced a smile: "Senior sister, you are finally here, come over and help serve the dishes, the hot pot will be ready for you to eat soon."

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked into the kitchen with graceful steps, her eyes moving back and forth between Xia Qiu and Mrs. Nishimiya. The faint smile at the corner of her mouth made Xia Qiu more uncomfortable.

"Hey, junior, you and Mrs. Nishimiya are busy here. It's quite pleasant, right?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Nishimiya blushed. She knew that the other party had a special relationship with Xia Qiu, so she smiled embarrassedly and said, "Hello, Kasumigaoka-san. I saw that Xia-kun couldn't handle it alone, so I lent a hand."

Xia Qiu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, senior sister, Mrs. Nishimiya is very kind and took the initiative to help, which made the dinner preparation so smooth."

As he said that, he quickly stuffed a plate of sliced ​​mutton rolls into Kasumigaoka Shiyu's hands, "Senior, hurry up, take this out first."

Kasumigaoka Utaha took the plate with a smile, turned and walked towards the restaurant. Before leaving, she did not forget to look back meaningfully at Xia Qiu.

"It's time to eat."

Xia Qiu also brought out the dishes one after another and placed them on the table.

Eriri, Kyon-sama, Nishimiya Shoko, and Nishimiya Yuzuru all sat over.

The steaming mist rose up, warming everyone's face.

"Wow, the hot pot made by Onii-chan is so delicious!"

Looking at the full pot, Yuzuru Nishimiya's eyes lit up. He picked up a piece of tripe and blew on it, then ate while mumbling inarticulate praise.

Qiong-mei nodded proudly: "Onii-chan's cooking skills have always been great!"

Although Eriri didn't say anything, her satisfied expression showed that she enjoyed the meal.

Mrs. Xigong looked at the children who were eating with relish, and then looked at Xia Qiu who was carefully handing out seasonings to everyone. Her eyes were full of satisfaction and gratitude. Her already charming eyes now shone with a different kind of brilliance.

Utaha Kasumigaoka elegantly picked up a piece of tender meat, dipped it lightly in the dipping sauce, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

"My junior's cooking skills are so good that even the most touted chef in Tokyo cannot compare to yours."

Xia Qiu smiled and picked up the crab stick and put it in Kasumigaoka Utaha's bowl, "If you like it, eat more."

In order to prove that he was not biased, Xia Qiu directly picked one for each person.

Of course, Mrs. Nishimiya was not spared either.

Looking at the meat slices in the bowl, Mrs. Nishimiya was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she felt the care from a member of the opposite sex.

Then, a blush quietly crept up her cheeks.

Raising two daughters alone over the years, the burden of life has left her with few opportunities to feel such care and concern.

Xia Qiu's sudden appearance was like a ray of light shining into her originally dull and difficult life.

At this moment, in addition to gratitude towards Xia Qiu, there was a different feeling in her heart, which was a desire for warmth and support.

After dinner, Mrs. Nishimiya stood up, held Nishimiya Naoko and Nishimiya Yuzuru's hands, and said solemnly: "Thank you so much for letting us spend such a pleasant evening today."

She looked at Xia Qiu with a firm look in her eyes, "Mr. Xia, I will remember this friendship and will thank you sincerely later."

Xia Qiu waved her hands quickly: "Mrs. Xigong, please don't say that. Let's have a meal together. The most important thing is to be happy."

Despite Xia Qiu's repeated refusals, Mrs. Xigong still insisted on her own idea, with unquestionable sincerity in her eyes.

Then she said goodbye to everyone with her two daughters.

After Mrs. Nishimiya left with her daughters, the atmosphere in the room changed subtly. Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and looked at Xia Qiu with a half-smile. Eriri also stood up and walked to Kasumigaoka Utaha's side. The two looked at each other, and they had a tacit understanding.

"Junior, you really opened our eyes today." Kasumigaoka Utaha spoke first, her voice soft but with a hint of unquestionable pressure, "You really have the leisure time to cook and take care of Mrs. Nishimiya in the kitchen."

Eriri snorted and added, "Yeah, big hentai, didn't you say you only liked lolita? Why, now you're not letting go of even mature and charming ladies?"

Xia Qiu looked at the two "judges" in front of him, complaining in his heart, but his face was full of flattering smiles: "Senior, Ying Lili, you misunderstood, I really just had good intentions. It's not easy for Mrs. Nishimiya to raise two children alone. I met them today and invited them to have a meal together. Isn't this human nature?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha took a step forward, staring at Xia Qiu closely: "Human nature? Then what was the tenderness in your eyes when you picked up some food for her? And the way she looked at you, that was more than just ordinary gratitude."

Eriri also agreed: "That's right, I noticed that you have been secretly paying attention to Mrs. Nishimiya today, and your mind is not on us at all."

Xia Qiu sighed helplessly and explained with a wry smile: "I swear, I really don't mean anything else. I just saw that everyone was enjoying their meal, so I wanted everyone to eat more. And Mrs. Xigong helped with the cooking, I can't just ignore her."

Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes slightly, as if trying to determine whether Xia Qiu's words were true. Eriri was relentless: "Humph, you'd better tell the truth. If we find out that you have other intentions, you'll just have to wait and see."

Xia Qiu quickly raised his hands in surrender: "I promise that I will never let you misunderstand me again. Today was really an accident. Is it okay if I am wrong? Misses, please forgive me this time."

Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri looked at each other again, and seeing Xia Qiu's pitiful appearance, they finally couldn't help laughing.

"Since you have a good attitude in admitting your mistakes, I will let you go this time." Kasumigaoka Utaha said with a smile, "But don't do it again next time."

Ying Lili also smiled and said, "That's right, if it happens again, you won't have an easy life."

Xia Qiu let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Of course, of course, I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and won't let you worry about me anymore."
