Chapter 82: Chapter 78: Chiba Scrambled Eggs
"As the class president, shouldn't you be encouraging your classmates more?"
Haruka Yuzan washed his hands, smiling, and said, "That way, we can improve together, and I can also make our class proud, right?"
"Generic encouragement is no longer effective for you." Chiba Shimizu set the eggs aside and started carefully selecting fresh tomatoes.
"Indeed, is it because I'm too outstanding?" A hint of helplessness seemed to cross Haruka Yuzan's handsome face as he let out a light sigh.
"Don't misunderstand, what I mean is, encouragement will only make you complacent, and it won't help you make progress."
Chiba Shimizu held two tomatoes, stood up straight, with a slight smile on her delicate face,
"The gap between you and me cannot be filled with just a couple of motivational words..."
Like she had taken a successful second step, Miss Chiba was in a very pleasant mood.
In such a short time, Haruka Yuzan got to see Miss Chiba's smile for the second time? Even though it was just an inkling of it...
"Hey hey, don't easily make gestures and expressions that don't fit your persona, class president."
"Persona?" Chiba Shimizu shook her head, picked up a tomato to rinse it, the clear water flowing over the bright red tomato, her slender fingers gently massaging it,
"You're overthinking it. I've never bothered with maintaining any persona; that's a boring undertaking."
"Hmm, it shows..."
"I just prefer to take down those who are full of themselves, especially someone like you who acts as if everything doesn't bother you, but in reality, is quite conceited."
"Full of myself?" Haruka Yuzan was taken aback, then looked at the girl seriously washing the tomatoes in front of him,
He hadn't expected that he would be labeled with that title one day,
"It seems that I hold a unique place in the class president's heart, distinct from others."
Haruka Yuzan took out the beef that madam had bought in the morning from the fridge and laid it on the chopping board, "Besides, you should smile more often, it looks good on you."
The kitchen knife evenly sliced the beef on the chopping board, creating pieces of meat that were uniform in size and texture.
By lunchtime, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes from Miss Chiba surely wouldn't be enough, so Haruka Yuzan intended to make another dish: cumin beef.
"When you're happy, your heart secretes a sour hormone that can kill ninety-five percent of the cancer cells in the body, so you should smile more often, class president."
"Did those romance comics tell you that?" Chiba Shimizu placed the tomatoes on another chopping board by the sink and pondered what to do next with focus.
The kitchen was large; even with five or six people cooking at the same time, there would still be plenty of space left over.
After all, this was the only kitchen in the whole villa, although next to the living room, there was a small open-air bar, but sadly, no one drank.
In his previous life, the Island Country seemed to have restrictions on alcohol for high school students, which didn't exist in this life.
"Actually, I do read other books as well," Haruka Yuzan thought, trying to salvage his image a bit.
"Hmm..." Chiba Shimizu was somewhat distracted, looking at the ingredients on the chopping board. It took her a long time before she picked up an egg and carefully tapped it on the chopping board, as if afraid to break it.
Compared to the girl's awkwardness, things were going quite smoothly on Haruka Yuzan's side.
Cumin beef was a dish he was proficient in; after marinating the cut beef, he chopped some green onions on the chopping board.
It seemed like a sudden thought crossed his mind, and he asked nonchalantly,n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"By the way, scrambled eggs with tomatoes are quite simple, you can make that, right?"
If he wasn't mistaken, this must be Miss Chiba's first time cooking.
Though there were home economics classes every week at school, he remembered that the class president seemed to have never attended them.
Unlike other students, Chiba Shimizu would typically use a little bit of power to skip easy classes like home economics or practical arts.
According to the classmates who always returned to the classroom first, the class president would sit quietly at her desk reading.
The breeze lifted the curtains, the bright sunshine streamed in, and the peaceful beauty in a pleated skirt sat quietly reading by the window.
Clean, simple...
A moment of youth and beauty that undoubtedly stirred the hearts of many boys.
As a result, after class, the boys in Class Three would always race back to the classroom, not for anything else but hoping to catch the first glimpse of such a scene.
Unlike other boys, what moved Haruka Yuzan more than the demure beauty he saw every day was Miss Chiba's power that she could wield at will...
The terrible capitalist!!!
....
Getting no response, the kitchen was quiet, with the faint sound of sporadic rain outside reaching his ears—had it not stopped yet?
He wasn't sure if it was the last spring rain or the first summer downpour...
When he turned to look, he found Chiba Shimizu bending over at the chopping board, gently tapping the egg with focus and care, unfortunately, in the wrong place. Enjoy exclusive content from m v -NovelBin.net
"Pfft!"
The girl's adorable action inadvertently made Haruka Yuzan laugh, and at that moment, Chiba Shimizu finally managed to crack a small opening,
Standing up straight, she said lightly,
"Everyone has their own weaknesses, Haruka, we should face them properly."
She was not the least bit affected by her recent embarrassment.
"Is that so? Then my opponents ought to worry because I don't even know what I'm bad at," Haruka Yuzan said with a laugh.
Chiba Shimizu didn't pay him any mind and focused on her task, but her fair little face couldn't help but frown slightly.
The thick and sticky egg yolk slowly flowed out of the carefully opened crack in the egg held above the porcelain bowl,
but because the opening was so small, the egg yolk's descent was slow and even hung in mid-air, halting in its tracks...
