Tokyo Survival from Tamamomae

Chapter 616 Fragment of Dream

"Brother, your ramen is ready!"

It was also when Xiaoyu stared intently at the rolling pin on the kitchen counter, as if about to say something, the shop owner brought over two steaming bowls of his signature tonkotsu ramen.

"Eat it first, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Haoren didn't pay attention to Xiaoyu's gaze at first, and after helping her get the tableware and set it up, he motioned her to eat while it was hot.

Xiaoyu nodded, followed Haoren's example, picked up a few noodles with chopsticks and blew them, put them in his mouth to chew gently, then took a mouthful of thick white pork bone noodle soup with a soup spoon, and tasted it carefully...

"Anthracene~ Well... this... Haoren... this thing called La, it's delicious!"

An abnormal taste shock instantly hit Xiaoyu's taste buds, causing the girl's beautiful eyes to burst into surprise.

The slender noodles exude amazing toughness, wrapping around the clove tongue.

The thick noodle soup filled the warm esophagus all at once.

The tough noodles and thick white soup overflow the whole mouth, filled with infinite deliciousness and strong taste impact mixed together.

Like a hot spring buried deep in the ground, it was suddenly dug up and splashed in the deepest part of the throat. All the flavors mixed in the mouth and tongue, it is really delicious!
"Is it delicious? It's just so-so. In fact, the ramen in the island country comes from the big country next door. That is the birthplace of authentic ramen. If there is a chance..."

Haoren didn't think it was delicious, but thought that Xiaoyu had eaten few good things. After all, the ramen in Tianchao's hometown was the most authentic.

However, since Xiaoyu likes delicious food, I will take her out to eat more when I have time in the future... Forget it, my wallet can't bear it.

It's better to study more cooking techniques by yourself, and strive to be able to cook a delicious meal at home to satisfy this little greedy cat!
Haoren murmured in his heart like this, completely obeying his daughter's favorite old father's mentality.

To be honest, he doesn't really know how to cook.

Before the time travel, because I was busy with work and lived alone, I hardly had time to improve my cooking skills.

Now that I'm free, and I have another mouth at home, why not come and learn how to cook.

Naturally, Haoren didn't know, because the decision at this moment created the reputation that Hoshino called "the aphrodisiac chef" in the future.

And after Xiaoyu savored it carefully, she didn't know what to think of, and once again locked her eyes on a certain object on the kitchen counter.

"Hey, Haoren, is it possible that with this rolling pin, you can make a lot of delicious ramen?"

"En." Hearing this, Haoren subconsciously nodded.

"Hao Ren, I want this rolling pin. This is the... the gift in the dictionary... the gift, right? Yes, Xiaohori said that when dating, boys will give gifts to girls they like, so Haoren you Give me this gift!"

"..."

Haoren obviously didn't expect Xiaoyu to say that, and he froze in place for a moment.

What date?What girl do you like?
Wait, what did that girl Xiaosui teach Xiaoyu?
Although he couldn't stop complaining in his heart, he couldn't bear to refuse when he saw the longing expression in the big eyes of the girl in front of him, Shui Lingling.

"Okay, then when we go back, go to the convenience store and buy one."

It was rare that Xiaoyu asked him for a gift, how could he refuse?

This also became the first real gift he gave Xiaoyu, but it was also... the last gift!
because……

Good times are always short-lived, everything about Xiaoyu is a mystery, and Haoren, who picked up this mystery, will always solve the mystery one day.

And the truth of this mystery is often cruel...

……

A week later, in the bushes of a deserted park in Hachioji.

"Huh...huh...you're okay...hiss...are you okay, Xiaoyu?"

Haoren, who was hiding in the bushes, had his chest heaving up and down violently at this moment, panting heavily, as if he had experienced some violent exercise.

If it's just that, it's fine. While panting, he still stretched out his hand to press the blood flowing from his left leg. The severe pain made him clench his teeth tightly, and a lot of cold sweat oozes from his forehead, obviously he was injured.

However, compared to himself, Haoren is still more concerned about Xiaoyu's condition beside him.

"I'm fine, but Haoren, your legs are bleeding a lot, sit up and straighten your legs for me to see..."

The girl next to her looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was two or three years older than when they had their first date a week ago.

Now the young girl who should be full of vigor in her upright youth now has a gloomy face because of Hao Ren's injury.

While speaking, she stretched out her hand to hold Hao Ren's injured thigh, and a little blue flame burst out from the palm of her hand.

"Fuck...!"

Haoren was startled by the flame, subconsciously wanted to retract his injured leg, but was held down by Xiaoyu.

"do not move."

She pressed her fiery palm tightly to Haoren's wound.

A miraculous thing happened. In just a few breaths, Haoren's wound quickly scabbed, and then the scab quickly fell off, and the surface of the wound recovered in a short time.

"what is this?"

"This is the ability of the Ninth Tail, the ability to heal itself."

"Ninth Tail?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Haoren's eyes, but soon the movement from the outside made him turn his attention to the outside of the bushes.

All I could hear were shouts and footsteps coming from outside the bushes.

"Compared to this, why do these spirit masters hunt us down..."

The people from the outside were obviously the culprit who caused Haoren's injury, and they were also the team of spirit masters who were currently searching for them.

Haoren didn't know why they wanted to kill him and Xiaoyu the most. No, maybe he realized subconsciously that he and Xiaoyu couldn't get along so peacefully forever, but he didn't expect the accident to happen so soon.

Xiaoyu bit her lower lip tightly, and said with a sad face:
"These spiritual masters...should be aiming at me."

"Come here for you, why?" Hao Ren tilted his head in doubt.

"Because I am a monster, no, because I am a dangerous existence that they regard as a thorn in their side."

"Eh? Then you..."

Haoren seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Xiaoyu waving:

"I'm sorry, Haoren, I was the one who implicated you. This matter has nothing to do with you. You can run away first. I'll be here..."

"do not talk."

Hao Ren stretched out his hand to cover Xiaoyu's mouth, and there was an unquestionable firmness in his eyes.

"???"

"Since I saved you and decided to take you in, I already expected that things would not be so simple. So, no matter what happens next, let's face it together..."

Haoren took Xiaoyu's hand, and Xiaoyu trembled slightly.

Recalling the image of the little girl when we first met, to the slim young girl in front of me, it is like raising a daughter. It is naturally impossible to say that Haoren has no feelings for Xiaoyu after she has grown up to this age.

It's just that he doesn't know whether this is the family affection between father and daughter, or other feelings...
