If this sweet shell is destined to be peeled off by you

When the two came back, it was already three days later.Jie Luo, who ran away willfully for a while, expressed his apology to Xueyue, and then expressed his gratitude to Dagu, and gave the two expensive gifts, and the bar returned to its former calm.

Just one thing, the moment Xueyue lowered her head, she found a shiny existence on the hands of both of them.

"Wow... is this a couple ring?"

For a long time, the two have transitioned from friends and partners to an awkward love relationship, and now they finally put on each other's rings, which can be regarded as a positive result, which made Xueyue breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing the smile on Xueyue's face, Jie Luo pursed his lips, acquiescing to the matter.

"Shop Manager, you are amazing! Senior Jie Luo has always been chased by many people!"

"Huh? Do you have many people chasing you?"

Intentionally pretending to be surprised that he didn't know about it, Nakajima exaggeratedly asked Gero.

"Of course, I've never been short of popularity."

Leaning crookedly on the edge of the table, stretched out the hand wearing the ring and raised it above the head, looking at the specially shaped ring inlaid with a diamond, it was a small ring like a handcuff.The raised parts and lines are both retro and special.

"Hey... From this moment on, she is no longer popular."

Although sighing on the mouth, there is still a smile in the eyes.

"Why, unhappy? Do you still want to be popular?"

Looking at Jero, who raised his eyebrows and concentrated on looking at the ring, Nakajima thought he was very good-looking.

"No, no need."

As she said that, her smile deepened, making Xue Yue feel that it was the first time she saw such a senior.

Xueyue was also happy about this incident, with a smile on her face all night.I was in a good mood, so I chatted with regular customers for a while.When getting off work, Otani, who used to take the tram together, was no longer there, but tonight it was replaced by Nakajima and Jie Luo.

"Eh? What is this for... Seniors, didn't you drive home? Why did you go to the station with me..."

Not quite understanding, the two looked at each other and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, be good, Xueyue."

Wholeheartedly helped Xueyue put on the scarf, after tidying up, directly stuffed the person into the car, Xueyue with a blank face didn't understand what it meant at all, so she just kept silent.

If you walk to the station, it usually takes only ten minutes to get there from Otani.But if you drive, there is no shortcut at all, you can only take a longer detour.

Along the way, Jie Luo's car drove very slowly, and Nakajima looked around from time to time, not knowing what he was looking at.

"That... store manager, you don't have to be so troublesome. I'm used to it when I go back."

Asked the two who were also silent, but did not reply at all, only ran into the station after getting off the car, and then drove away slowly.

Everything was as usual, Maeda came to pick him up at the station, the two of them went shopping at the convenience store together, and then went home.Maeda always picks the puddings and other snacks that Xueyue likes to eat, but Xueyue persistently fills up the daily necessities in the two rooms.

"The store manager and senior are back today, hehe..."

Seeing Xueyue in such a good mood, Maeda couldn't help asking a few more questions, but Xueyue said that she didn't know what happened during the period.

"I don't know why the senior left suddenly, but when they came back, they were wearing the same ring! This is the first time I saw Senior Jie Luo smiling like that. He really deserves to be a mixed race, very beautiful... But the store manager really I'm so lucky..."

Listening to Xueyue happily talking about it, Maeda felt a little nervous when he heard this incident, but he could only pretend to be normal.

"How about I give you a ring, Xueyue?"

Said this lightly, and took that white hand by the way.

"Eh? I..."

A little surprised and a little blushed, I don't know how to answer Maeda.Did the other party misunderstand?Do you think that you are talking about the store manager and the others, do you want to euphemistically convey the meaning that you are very envious?

"Ah...it's troublesome. Speaking of it this way, it seems that I am asking you."

With a blushing face and lowered head, he stood in the convenience store and did not continue walking.Xue Yue didn't expect that the consequences of saying this to Maeda would be so troublesome, and now she can't tell what she thinks.He just wanted to share it with Maeda, but the other party seemed to have misunderstood a little.

"No, Xueyue. There will always be such a day, even if it's not today, there will be a day in the future when I will propose to you. Even if you don't agree once, I will do it again. You will always be my family in the end Yes, so take it easy..."

Holding Xueyue's cheeks, kissed the tip of her nose, then kept smiling, holding Xueyue's hand tightly, and went to the door to check out.

Xueyue was very shy, but the clerk politely found the change as if she hadn't seen anything, and helped put the things into the bag by the way.

"Welcome to both of you next time."

Listening to the clerk's words from a distance, Xueyue hurriedly quickened her pace and dragged Maeda back to the apartment.

I always go home after dark, but when I get home, there is always another person by my side.Such a warm daily life makes Xueyue very satisfied.

"By the way, Xueyue, do you want to go back to my hometown next Wednesday? Mom said she misses you very much."

After putting away all the clothes that had been taken off, Xueyue, who was lying sideways on the sofa, felt very tired.In the past ten days, there was no rest, and they were very busy due to the shortage of manpower. Now that the two of them came back, they dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Um... ok."

Having not gone back for a long time, Xue Yue suddenly felt a little ashamed.He once swore that he would go back together even if he forced Maeda, but now he broke his promise.

After taking a shower, Maeda, who was still damp, took a pudding and squatted beside the sofa, and started digging it up for Xueyue bite by bite like taking care of a child.

"What do you want to eat? You can prepare it in advance."

The pudding is soft and sweet, Xueyue, who has no concept of dinner, prefers to eat this kind of thing.Because of this, he is still so thin even though he only has two meals a day, even if he loses a little weight, it will make Maeda feel distressed.But forcing him to eat at midnight made his body unable to afford it, so he had to continue like this, there was no compromise.

"Don't bother, I can do anything."

Xueyue, who was eating and talking in a daze, looked very cute after the sleepiness struck.Working with tense nerves all day long, Xue Yue can only relax her nerves in front of her after returning home.

Poking the slow-chewing face, Xueyue unconsciously stretched out her hand and pushed Maeda's fingers aside, turned over and turned towards the back of the sofa, muttering good night and going to bed early, while tightening her body .

Xueyue couldn't see, Maeda had a doting smile on his face, after he hummed twice, the other party even covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

"Looks like a cute kitten."

Compared with their usual rest, the two went to bed very early today.But Maeda felt a little sleepless, even though he was hugging Xueyue at this time.

You should consider a marriage proposal... At the beginning, she talked about getting Xueyue naturalized in front of her parents, but there is still no movement until now. Although Xueyue didn't mention it, there is no need to delay this matter.And about the ring...

Maeda decided to talk to Xueyue tomorrow.

"... Phoo... bear, bear... cake... eat..."

He was thinking about messy things, but Xueyue's intermittent dreams came from his arms.

Whenever Xueyue was exhausted, she would talk in her sleep that she could not understand.But even though he didn't understand, Maeda listened very carefully every time.The unintentionally lowered voice, as well as the lips that keep mumbling, are so cute that people want to bully them.

Every time at this time, Maeda would kiss Xueyue's cheek, then help him tuck the quilt up, then hug the person in his arms tighter, and fall asleep contentedly.

When she woke up the next day, Xueyue rarely woke up earlier than Maeda.In the days when I was used to letting Maeda prepare breakfast every day, it has become inevitable in the fixed life mode to have delicious food when I open my eyes.

"Let me do it today...hehe..."

Quietly put on her clothes, and tiptoed when opening the door.Because the two of them slept together in 410 the night before, and Xueyue is not usually a person who can cook by herself, so there is no kitchen utensils in Xueyue's room.

But Maeda's room was different.His room has a very complete set of daily necessities, as well as kitchen utensils.

He opened the door and put on the apron directly.But standing in the kitchen, I don't know what to do.

"Usually eat... usually, fried eggs? Toast? Porridge?"

Recalling the smell of breakfast every day in the past, when I opened the refrigerator door, what was left was cabbage, bacon, and eggs, but I didn’t know what to do with them.

Asking someone who can't cook at all to go into the kitchen to prepare a meal is simply clueless.

After much deliberation, I don't know how to make some things, but I am also glad that although I haven't cooked them well, I eat them quite a lot on weekdays.

Turn on the gas, heat up the pot, hang your hand over the pot to feel the heat like Maeda did, and start pouring oil.Until the oil has heated up a bit, the eggs are almost knocked in.

"Oh!"

The moment the hot oil touched the egg, there was a small cracking sound, which made Xueyue shrink her neck in shock.

Because I was afraid of being battered, I kept turning it with a spatula, but accidentally pierced the egg yolk, and it flowed to the bottom of the pot, which was a bit unsightly.

"Oh... this is really difficult..."

After finally putting all the eggs on the plate, the bacon was added to the pan.

"Xueyue, leave it to me!"

Maeda's sudden voice startled Xueyue, when she turned her head, the bacon in her hand fell into the pot, making a sizzling sound.

"Are you awake? I want to make you breakfast, but I really want to be a little stupid...hehe..."

She shyly looked at the eggs on the plate. Although they were not battered, they did not look very good.

"Give it to me, you just go get the bowls and chopsticks."

He snatched the spatula with a smile, pushed the whole person out of the kitchen, and hurried back to flip the bacon that was already bouncing in the pot, but felt very warm in his heart.This is the first time Xueyue cooks breakfast for herself, I don't know if I can commemorate this day.

Looking at the man skillfully turning the shovel, his rather tall figure always made him feel at ease.It was as if just thinking about him could light a fire in my heart.

Neatly placed tableware, fragrant breakfast, having breakfast with someone you like and also likes yourself, this kind of happiness becomes immersive.

One dining table, just two people, this is the sense of happiness that Xue Yue perceives.The days that I never even imagined are finally in the palm of my hand, and those old colds are gradually melting in Maeda's embrace.He is still not afraid of the cold, but now he is beginning to accept the temperature.

This is the feeling of home, where the heart has a home and the body has a place to go.Whether it is cold or hot, there are people by my side, and it is so ordinary that it seems to be copying every day, but I will not feel satisfied at all.

"Xueyue, today... shall we go get your household registration?"

"Hey?"

Xueyue, who was carefully chewing the bacon, was taken aback for a moment, looking up at Maeda with surprise.

"But... but your parents... are you okay?"

"I've told them a long time ago, and they didn't disagree. And even if they didn't agree, I have other ways. I can move out my identity and household registration, and then adopt you."

"No way...then I am not your adoptive..."

Her face turned red and hot, Xue Yue refused in her heart, but she didn't say anything.

"As long as we are together, there is no problem with any relationship. But don't worry, they have agreed, so don't think about those anymore..."

Touching the soft chestnut hair, Maeda smiled and asked Xueyue to continue eating, and decided to go back to the orphanage today to discuss the matter with the director.
