Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Bai Ye nodded. In his opinion, Kato Megumi was indeed good at cooking saury.

"Kato-san, I've got the frying pan ready for you."

"No, Senior, I don't need a frying pan."

No frying pan?

How to cook saury without frying in a pan?

But Bai Ye really has a way to cook saury without using a frying pan.

With doubts, he looked in the direction of Kato Megumi's finger.

"Senior, can you help me get this out?"

Thank you very much for the silver treasure chest and panties from Mr. Qingxiyin. It’s the first time in my life that I receive a silver treasure chest. I’m a little excited.

Also, thank you Bookworm and True Picture for the dog food∪?ω?∪

Now all I need is a girlfriend and a golden treasure chest to complete the full gift achievement, I have to keep working hard.

I touched it and found that my liver was still there!

Chapter 87 Those who gaze at the starry sky also hope to be unveiled

Bai Ye was stunned, and the reason was exactly what Kato Megumi was referring to.

A cooking hot plate.

To be precise, it was a cooking hot plate that Bai Ye had only used once.

While taking out the heating plate, Bai Ye kept frowning. A bold and crazy guess emerged in his mind, and finally stopped at a hazy figure whose face could not be seen clearly.

“Impossible… Impossible…”

Bai Ye has a unique technique for cooking saury. The cooking utensil he uses is not a frying pan, but a cooking hot plate.

He had to ask clearly. If his guess was correct, Kato Megumi's strange behavior all along would be explained.

Temporarily suppressing his turbulent heart, Bai Ye tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

"Kato-san, are you going to cook the saury on the hot plate?"

"Yes, Senior."

It's actually true!

Kato Megumi didn't seem to notice Bai Ye's hand shaking as he held the hot plate. After putting the hot plate away, he asked:

"Hmm... where's the socket?"

"it's here."

It takes time to preheat the heating plate, but Bai Ye could no longer contain his inner confusion and excitement.

"Where did Kato learn to cook saury on a hot plate? It's quite unique."

Kato Megumi turned her head, her calm eyes revealing a hint of nostalgia, and she said the answer that Bai Ye was most unwilling to hear, but also the one he most wanted to hear.

"It was last year, um... to be exact, 10 months ago. I learned this from someone~~"

What was the special day 10 months ago?

Yes, it was the school festival at Toyonosaki, and that was also the only time Bai Ye used a hot plate to cook saury.

As he watched Kato Megumi put the saury on the hot plate, the blurry figure in Bai Ye's mind, whose face could not be seen clearly, gradually overlapped with Kato Megumi in front of him.

Become clear and colored.

He remembered that he had known her before... No! He couldn't really say he knew her, but he had met Kato Megumi before and had a special story with her.

. . . . . .

Second year of high school, Toyosaki Campus Festival.

Fengzhiqi's campus festival is also the school anniversary of Fengzhiqi. Students of Fengzhiqi can bring their parents or friends to visit.

The campus festival lasts for two days, and the most lively and anticipated part is the after-night festival on the second night.

For Bai Ye, who sets up a stall at the campus festival, the eve of the festival is undoubtedly the busiest time.

The nights in midsummer come later than in other seasons. When dusk falls, it is also the time for hungry students and their parents who have just got off work to come to the after-night sacrifice.

Bai Ye runs a fried noodle stall and also sells pocky finger biscuits that he spends several nights making.

"After tonight, I'll have saved enough money to buy a brand new desktop computer."

He raised his head, looked at the endless line in front of the stall, and changed his words.

"That's right, as long as I survive tonight..."

Bai Ye understood his own cooking skills. Compared with the stalls opened by his classmates at the campus festival out of interest and impulse, his cooking skills were definitely first-class or even top-notch.

However, Bai Ye was the only one running the fried noodle stall. Even though mobile payment was well developed, some people were still used to paying with paper money. Collecting money and giving change was quite cumbersome. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he might not be able to handle it.

What's more, he didn't.

"Please hire someone temporarily, I'm really too busy..."

While drinking water, Bai Ye wrote an advertisement for a high-priced job and placed it in the most conspicuous place in the stall.

In fact, he didn't have much hope of hiring temporary help.

What everyone looks forward to most is the after-night festival. Who doesn’t want to play with friends? Who wants to sweat for loneliness?

However, reality is so unexpected.

A figure walked into the stall in the twilight. The low-wattage light bulb above Bai Ye's head prevented him from seeing the person's face. He only knew from the voice that it was a girl.

"Senior, are you hiring here?"

"Yes!"

Handing the freshly made fried noodles to the customer, Bai Ye said without turning his head:

"Classmate, just help me collect the money and give the change, and pass the fried noodles and finger biscuits to the customers. The salary and benefits are just as written. If you want finger biscuits, take them. If you want drinks, take them. Dinner will be provided later!"

"I understand, senior."

Bai Ye suddenly felt a lot more relaxed after omitting the task of collecting money and making change. He could handle the work even without being a superhuman.

Suddenly, Bai Ye remembered that he didn't know the girl's name yet, and that her help during the night festival was a favor to him.

It's so embarrassing not even knowing someone's name when thanking them.

"Classmate, what's your name?"

"Senior, my name is..."

At this moment, the campus broadcast sounded, announcing the official start of the after-night festival, while also covering up the girl's voice.

"……benefit"

"Your name is Xiaohui! Thank you for coming to help me. I really can't handle it all by myself!"

After getting the name, Bai Ye buried his head in work again, without even having the chance to look up.

Dusk enveloped this small fried noodle stall. During one of Bai Ye's few chances to drink water, he happened to see Xiaohui turning around to greet customers. The dim light above her head seemed no match for the twilight. A layer of hazy night veil was always covering Xiaohui's face, so he could only vaguely remember Xiaohui's figure.

The guests gradually dispersed and Bai Ye finally had some free time.

"It's time for dinner. I'm so tired..."

Today's dinner is saury with fried noodles. He has been storing the saury in an ice box, and it is still hard when he takes it out.

"Xiaohui, we should eat..."

"Senior, I need to go to the bathroom."

"Oh, then go ahead!"

Bai Ye hung up the "Rest" sign, poured himself a glass of ice-cold Coke, and while lamenting the difficulty of making money, he counted today's income.

The number of missing boxes can be used to determine how many servings of fried noodles were sold. Pocky fingers are sold in bags and are easy to count.

The income was not less than a dollar, and not a pack of finger biscuits was missing. The only thing left was a half-drunk cup of Coke next to the stall.

"Xiaohui is such a good girl!"

After dividing the salary for Xiaohui, Bai Ye went to the small gift shop next door and bought some wrapping paper and ribbon, wrapped up a few finger biscuits, intending to give them to Xiaohui as a special benefit, and also poured her a glass of ice-cold Coke.

"When you meet a good girl, as a gentleman you should cherish and love her even more."

After doing all this, Bai Ye looked up at the playground.

The bonfire for the after-night festival has been lit. Compared with the brightly lit playground that looks like daytime, this place feels like darkness during the day, and the few light bulbs are like stars in the night sky.

If you don’t gaze at the starry sky with all your heart, who would notice the few dim stars in the night?

"Let's make dinner first."

Frying saury on a hot plate is his unique trick, which he has never shown to anyone.

The saury and fried noodles were ready, but Xiaohui had not come back yet.

Just when Bai Ye was puzzled, he suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in front of the stall.

"Xiaohui, where have you been? Why has it been so long?"

"No, Senior, I've always been here, watching you cook the saury."

"Yeah……"

Xiaohui's presence is really low, or is it that I am so tired that I don't even know Xiaohui is back?

There was a curtain hanging in front of the stall, which just covered the upper half of Xiaohui's face, so that Bai Ye could only see Xiaohui's two rosy and translucent cherry lips.

"Xiaohui, your salary, dinner, and benefits are all prepared for you. I don't know if you like this ice-cold Coke, but it's the most refreshing drink in the summer!"

"Thank you, Senior~" Xiao Hui picked up all the things Bai Ye had prepared beside the stall, "Senior, aren't you going to the After Night Festival to take a look?"

"No, I'm exhausted. I'm fine here enjoying the cool air."

"Well, bye, senior~"

"Goodbye Xiaohui, thank you very much for coming to help me!"

. . . . . .

His thoughts returned to his body, Bai Ye looked at Kato Megumi who was close to him, scratched his face, and gave an awkward but tried to be polite smile.

"Xiao Hui..."

"Shh~~"

Kato Megumi lightly tapped her rosy and translucent lips with her finger, indicating a hush, and a bright smile flashed in her eyes.

"It took you so long to remember this, Senior is really too much~~"

"Even I would be angry~~"

Kato Megumi's foreshadowing has finally been retracted!

Chapter 88: The love brain war begins again? The difficulty is even higher!

Xiaohui is Kato Megumi.

Bai Ye felt a little ashamed when he got the news. Kato Megumi's "strange" behavior since joining the club was now perfectly explained.

"Senior, you can call me Xiaohui, but please do it in private, otherwise everyone will misunderstand~"

"Uh... Got it."

Bai Ye thought it was obvious whether Kato Megumi had feelings for him.

At least since he joined the club, he had never seen Kato Megumi smile so brightly at anyone.

I'm sorry again, Aki-san. Huh? Why did I say again?

I hope he gets used to it.

Seeing that the people in the living room didn't notice the subtle change in the atmosphere in the kitchen, Bai Ye asked softly:
