After a while, the two of them sat face to face at the dining table, on which was a plate of cookies and a cup of fragrant Earl Grey tea.
"Which famous Western pastry shop did you buy these delicious cookies from?" she asked with great satisfaction after taking a bite.
"I didn't buy it. I made it during the day. It seems to suit your taste," said Songgang Dong with a smile.
Shinomiya Mikoto was stunned for a moment and then changed her words calmly: "Oh, but it's still far worse than those top pastry shops in Tokyo."
In fact, this cookie should be ranked in the top three among all the stores she had eaten at, but how could she possibly praise the other party? However, she was somewhat surprised that Songgang Dong had such craftsmanship.
"Of course I can't compare to those masters," Song Gangdong responded modestly.
"Tell me what you want to talk about?" Shinomiya Mikoto did not continue the topic of cookies.
Song Gangdong took a sip of black tea and looked at her seriously and said, "Although I don't know what agreement you and my father have reached, I know you must have been forced to do so, so I want to apologize to you here."
Shinomiya Mikoto looked at him with some surprise, she didn't expect him to say that. She had already prepared herself in her mind on how to deal with this guy who might say something disgusting and excessive.
She is in the upper class so she knows a lot of dark things, and her situation makes many people with bad intentions worried.
After all, the temptation to conquer a former young lady is something that many men cannot refuse. And after she fell into poverty, there were indeed such people who extended an olive branch to her, but she decisively rejected them.
The reason why she chose the Songgang family in the end was because there was still a lot of room for maneuver in their conditions, and the most important condition was that they could not force her to do something.
"It's just a deal. You don't need to apologize. Mr. Matsuoka didn't force me. I did it voluntarily," Shinomiya Mikoto responded with a sad look in her eyes.
"Well, no matter what, you must have your reasons, so don't worry about the agreement. If you are short of money, I can lend it to you first, and you can pay it back at any time. Then you don't have to live with me. This will be good for both of us. My father sometimes does something weird like this," Zhang Jun suggested helplessly.
This condition was already very good, but what surprised him was that Shinomiya Mikoto on the opposite side actually shook her head very decisively.
"No, I will be your fiancée for three years until I graduate from college."
She paused here and continued, "Maybe I will officially marry you three years after I graduate from college."
Song Gangdong felt a headache and said, "What on earth is in the agreement that would make you like this?"
"Keep it a secret," she shook her head calmly.
He stared at her seriously for a while and sighed, "Okay, I get it. Let's talk about it when my father comes back. But you don't have to live with me now. It will be troublesome if others find out when you go to school."
Speaking of this, Shinomiya Mikoto was actually quite worried, but she still shook her head and said, "No, we must live together, so both of us have to be careful when we are in school."
In fact, in addition to the agreement, there is another reason that she is now homeless. Since her mother was hospitalized and she returned the rented house and paid the rent, she has been living in the hospital or Internet cafe.
That suitcase actually held all her belongings, so if she left Songgang's home she would have nowhere to live.
"Another agreement?" Song Gangdong held his forehead and complained about the old man in his heart.
"Well, now that we're talking about this, there are something I need to tell you," Shinomiya Mikoto said in a serious tone.
"Okay, you say," Songgang Dong nodded helplessly.
He now knows that he will probably have to live with this young lady for a while, and he feels a little annoyed just thinking about it.
It's so comfortable to live alone. I can get a full night's sleep if I want. I don't need to put on clothes after taking a shower. But after only a few days of freedom, I'm back to square one again.
"First of all, although I am your fiancée, we cannot have any intimate relations before we are officially married. This is specifically stated in the agreement," Shinomiya Mikoto emphasized seriously.
"Don't make me sound like a hungry pervert," Songgang Dong said with a dark face and dissatisfaction.
When Shinomiya Mikoto thought of what happened last night, she looked at him with contempt and wariness. She probably won't change her impression of him in the short term.
"Hey, hey, it was just an accident. And why did you hit me later? I didn't even touch your clothes," Song Gangdong asked unhappily.
"Then you must not let people in school know that I'm your fiancée, and you must also avoid meeting people from school when attending the party." She simply ignored Songgang Dong's question.
Songgang Dong was completely speechless. Looking at her expression, he knew that it was useless to ask any more questions, so he just gave up. He didn't expect that this young lady was so shameless.
Chapter 7: The Missy's First Attempt
"Also, when you're in school, you have to pretend you don't know me, and don't come near me."
"besides..."
Songgang Dong listened indifferently. In fact, her main point was that they must not let people in the school find out about their relationship. That place was probably her last private territory.
Because it seemed that few people knew about the bankruptcy of the Shinomiya family, he checked during the day and found that the name of the Shinomiya Group had not been changed, but the chairman had become Shinomiya Ryo, and the largest shareholder had become foreign capital.
From the name of the current president, we can tell that there is definitely something going on, and Shinomiya Mikoto's family is the loser.
Gollum~~
The sound of her stomach rumbling interrupted Shinomiya Mikoto's serious warning. In the past, she would eat employee meals at the store where she worked part-time because she got off work late. However, she didn't get to eat because she left early today.
"It's getting late, how about I cook first?" Song Gangdong suggested, holding back his laughter.
"I'm not hungry." Shinomiya Mikoto pretended that the sound just now did not come from her.
Gollum~~
This time the sound was even louder, and it was obvious that it came from her. Her face turned red and she covered her stomach quietly. If there was a crack on the ground at this moment, she would have wanted to crawl into it.
"Ahem, just wait a moment." Songgang Dong covered his smile with a cough and stood up.
After he went to the kitchen, Shinomiya Mikoto covered her face with her hands and said, "Damn it, your stomach is so disappointing. You won't die from skipping a meal."
Maybe it was because she didn't feel hungry and didn't have to work before, so since she started working, her appetite has become twice as strong as before, which makes her a little distressed.
Although he really wanted to go upstairs right now, he felt so hungry that he didn't move his feet. Instead, he set his sights on the cookies on the table.
At this time, Songgang Dong was thinking about what to cook. After thinking for a while, he decided to make fried rice. There happened to be some newly delivered pineapple, so he planned to use it to make fried rice.
That's right, what he wanted to make was the pineapple curry fried rice that appeared in Food Wars! He had recreated this in reality before, and it tasted very good.
The main reason for doing this is that it is quick. After all, there is a young lady in the restaurant who should be very hungry. After making the decision, he acted quickly.
"Pineapple? Curry? Rice?" After smelling the fragrance, Shinomiya Mikoto became confused.
She understood the combination of curry and rice, but adding pineapple to it was beyond her knowledge, so she guessed what kind of dish this pineapple would be made into.
"Sorry for the long wait"
Songgang Dong returned to the restaurant with two plates of food and placed one of them in front of her.
"What is this?!" Shinomiya Mikoto looked at the plate in confusion.
"Pineapple curry fried rice, an exclusive secret recipe, you probably can't get it anywhere else, so you're in luck," Songgang Dong said with a lucky look on his face.
However, Shinomiya Mikoto did not appreciate it and instead questioned loudly: "Putting pineapple in curry fried rice? Are you sure this thing is edible?"
“Tsk, eat it if you want. If you don’t want to eat it, give it to me.” Song Gangdong was unhappy and was about to reach out his hand.
"Hmph, let me try and see how bad your dark cuisine is." She pulled the plate over.
Matsuoka Dong just looked at her with contempt, then sat down and started eating. It must be said that some of the recipes in Food Wars! are really good. After all, they are basically based on reality.
Shinomiya Mikoto swallowed her saliva when she saw him eating. Then she also scooped a spoonful and put it into her mouth with her eyes closed. After taking a bite, her eyes suddenly opened.
"Why would this happen just by adding pineapple?" she couldn't help but ask.
The sweetness of the fruit and the saltiness of the fried rice spread in her mouth, and the fresh fragrance of the pineapple made the originally rich spices less greasy. She had never eaten such a refreshing and delicious fried rice.
Songgang Dong chuckled and said, "It's not just as simple as adding pineapple. After finishing, the fried rice is put back into the hollowed-out pineapple skin and then sealed and put into the oven to bake again. That's why it's so fragrant and refreshing."
"So that's how it is... Well, not bad, it looks like you guessed it by accident, otherwise how could anyone think of such a combination?" she said affirmatively.
"Oh, whatever you think," Song Gangdong ignored him.
It is unwise to debate with a woman, because no matter what, the man will be the loser in the end. After all, men and women are not equal.
Shinomiya Mikoto felt very angry when she saw him like this, but when she smelled the fried rice, she didn't want to delay and jumped into the action of eating.
After a big meal, she sat in the chair and didn't want to move much. She felt very sleepy, but she knew she couldn't go upstairs to sleep immediately, otherwise she would gain weight.
"The task of washing the dishes is left to you." Song Gangdong got up and walked towards the living room to watch TV.
"Hey, don't give me orders without permission!" Shinomiya Mikoto said angrily.
Song Gangdong turned around and sighed, "I cooked the meal, so it's not too much for you to wash the dishes. You are not the eldest lady here, and I am not your maid."
Hearing this, Shinomiya Mikoto wanted to get angry but then she fell silent. It was her mother who took care of her when she was down and out. She hadn't eaten at home since her mother fell ill. The braised pork that day was the first home-cooked meal she had recently.
So actually she had no idea about things like clearing the table and washing dishes. When she worked part-time, she only cleaned up the trays. It can be said that this was her first time cleaning up after a meal.
This may be unbelievable to ordinary people, but some young ladies have even more exaggerated ideas, such as believing that apples are white...
"For the sake of fried rice..." She snorted as she looked at Songgang Dong who was sitting leisurely on the sofa.
Song Gangdong smiled with satisfaction when he saw her taking the plates to the kitchen. It seemed that this girl was not so hopeless, so the task of washing dishes would be given to her from now on.
In fact, the job he hates most is washing dishes after meals. It's a natural dislike for him, so it's nice to have someone do it for him.
Clap!
Song Gangdong, who was originally in a good mood, froze his smile upon hearing this...
Clap!
When the second sound of the plate breaking sounded, he regretted it. He had forgotten one thing just now, which was the fact that the other party was a real young lady...
At this time, Shinomiya Mikoto was also very depressed looking at the debris all over the floor. She didn't expect that the plates with cleaning fluid would be so slippery. After the first one fell, she panicked and hit another one.
"It's so easy for Tomoko and her mother to wash," she muttered.
She was squatting on the ground preparing to pack up when she felt the light dim. She looked up and saw Song Gangdong's dark face.
Chapter 8 The Eve Before School Starts
"It's just two plates, why are you so angry?"
Shinomiya Mikoto sat on the bed and pounded the pillow heavily. She had been forbidden to enter the kitchen. Although she was happy about this, she still felt unhappy.
After venting for a while, she felt uncomfortable. Thinking of this, she hurried out to discuss the issue of bathroom use.
"What's the matter with you again?" Song Gangdong had just cleaned up the mess so he was in a bad mood.
The two plates that were broken just now were actually two of a set of tableware. He liked them very much, but now they were incomplete. So how could he possibly give her a good face?
"Humph, I came down here to tell you that I'm going to use the bathroom first. If you peek, the police will arrest you," she warned sternly.
