Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 163 An Inch of Time

After combing her hair, Akane Kirino hummed and came to the kitchen, where Soya was cutting the white radish into pieces.

Something was cooking in the soup pot next to it, and the aroma was tangy.

"smell good……"

Shrugging her nose, she leaned over, "Is it chicken soup?"

"Ah."

"Songya has just started preparing breakfast..."

"It's this one."

He gestured to the small bowl next to him with his eyes, Kirino Akane looked at it, and there was a large piece of pale yellow jelly in it.

"It was left over from cooking the broth a few days ago."

Soya continued to chop the radishes, "It was intended to be used for the next day's breakfast, but it turned out that it was either too drunk to wake up, or it was forgotten to prepare the dough the night before... Today there will be no problem."

"Dough?"

Akane Kirino stared at the pure soup jelly, but remembered that he stayed in the kitchen for a while before going upstairs to bed last night.

"What's for breakfast today?"

“Owl ear noodle soup.”

Sogu stopped and turned to look at her, "It's also my first time making it, so I have to finish it if it doesn't taste good."

"No." Akane Kirino laughed, and looked around again, "Where's the dough?"

"Over there." Soya pointed casually.

The white dough was placed in an iron basin, covered with a layer of plastic wrap, and left in the kitchen overnight.

When the lid of the soup pot was lifted, the water vapor was dense and quickly dissipated.

After pouring the chopped white radish into the pot, Soya thought for a while and asked, "What other side dishes does Kirino want to add? Do you need shiitake mushrooms?"

"Well……"

Akane Kirino poked the dough with her fingers, absent-mindedly, "Rice?"

"..."

He resolutely stopped asking, and took out a few pieces of shiitake mushrooms, cut a few slits on the surface, and threw them into the soup pot together.

"Is that all?"

"Several pieces of chicken racks have been placed in it."

"Oh oh."

Akane Kirino picked up the iron basin containing the dough, "How do I deal with this?"

"Knead for a few minutes, and then press it with a rolling pin. When the soup boils, grab a piece and throw it away. Cook until the noodles become transparent."

She half understood, "Let me try."

Soya looked at her, "This is our breakfast."

"Huh? I know."

"Then let's get started."

Sure enough, Akane Kirino started playing with the dough in the name of helping.

As Soya was preparing the mirin and soy sauce, he squinted at it, his eyes were sore.

Fortunately, she didn't do too much.

"Is it okay?" She actively waited for the moment when the soup pot was opened.

"almost."

Soya poured the seasoned mirin and soy sauce into the pot, and then signaled to her that it was time to put the noodles stretched into the shape of cat ears.

"Be careful not to splash the soup."

"Uh-huh."

Akane Kirino never tires of repeating the action of pulling off the dough pieces and throwing them into the soup pot, regardless of whether the thrown dough pieces look like cat ears or not;

Zongya didn't care either. If he did it himself, he probably wouldn't be any better than her.

After looking at it for a while, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he went upstairs to wake up Chao Wuling.

"Come in."

After opening the sliding door, part of her clothes had already been put on, at least he didn't have to look away.

"Breakfast is almost ready."

"Ah."

Halfway through the buttons, he yawned at Wuling.

"Did Bell go to bed late last night?"

"Well, sleep after copying the book."

She looked at him and raised her arm suddenly.

"Still sleepy."

"..."

Soya walked to the side of the quilt, squatted down, pulled her collar and cuffs, and continued to button them.

He tied it all the way to his chest before he suddenly realized something was wrong, "Uniform?"

"Ah."

"Is Suzu going to school today?"

"I have an appointment with Yugong."

"Ling has spent too much time with Amamiya-senpai recently."

"An inch of time is an inch of gold." Chao Wuling looked at him, "That child is very interested in literature, I want to pass on the knowledge I have to her as much as possible before she withers."

Soya nodded and said no more.

"—I still have a lot of time with you."

"..."

He raised his gaze, and she only stared at his resting hand.

"yes."

Putting on his uniform, Chao Kirin stood up again and stepped into his short skirt.

"..."

It was Soya who lifted the short skirt to his waist, and then zipped up the side zipper.

“Breakfast is cat ears noodle soup.”

"Ah."

After breakfast, Zhao Wuling went back to the room to get the notes, and was ready to go out.

The rain stopped for a while, and Soya drove her to the station on a bicycle.When he came back, there was no sign of Akane Kirino.

When he walked around to the backyard, he saw that she was using scissors to cut the nylon rope into short lengths, and there were many thin bamboos with a length of about one meter piled up beside her.

"Do you want to put a frame on the tomato?"

"Yes."

She said this was one of the things Kirino Keiko confessed before leaving in the morning.

The tomato seedlings in the ground have almost grown, and the thinner branches cannot support the weight of the fruit, so they have to be fixed on the thin bamboo.And it just so happens that today is the weekend, and the rain has stopped temporarily, so the timing is just right.

"Then I'll help too."

"Okay, let's change your shoes first."

"Ah."

There was a lot of mud in the ground, so Soya put on Hiroyuki Kirino's rubber boots, and first carried the bamboo to the place where the tomatoes were planted.

Because there are not many plants, and there is no need to build a large-scale shelf, the simplest upright insert is enough.

Insert the thin bamboo into the soil and keep a distance of about ten centimeters from the roots of the tomato seedlings so that they will not loosen easily.

A tomato seedling was paired with a thin bamboo. When Soya was almost finished, Kirino Akane also came over with the cut nylon rope.

"The next step is the hard work."

"Ah."

After receiving the nylon rope, Sogu squatted down, supported a tomato seedling, and tied it to the thin bamboo next to it.

Tomato seedlings will continue to grow, so don't tie them too tightly, leaving a little gap.

But the plants were short, so Soya and Akane Kirino could only squat down or bend over to support the tomato seedlings. After a while, they felt soreness in their waists and numbness in their legs.

"So tired... Soya, let's play a game, whoever loses..."

"Don't play."

"Humph."

The two stood on each side, holding a nylon rope more than ten centimeters long in one hand, and wrapped the seedling in the other hand, tied the string with both hands, and moved forward slowly.

After working so hard for a long time, all the tomato seedlings in the field were finally fixed.

"Ah, there is another plant..."

Soya squatted down to search again, but when he raised his eyes, he found Akane Kirino pointing to the room of Yueyue upstairs.

On the window sill of the room, there was a flowerpot, in which was planted the tomato seedling grown from the seed he had been fancying.

"I'll go get it..."

Soya squatted halfway, panting, "You can't count on him."

"Okay."

Akane Kirino looked down at him, and suddenly stretched out her hand.

"..."

His palms pressed together, the back of his neck was slightly hot, and he also raised his eyes to look at her.

"what happened?"

Lifting the palm away, two fingers twisted a handful of hair stuck to the back of the neck, and gently pulled it twice.

"Soya's hair is growing again."

"..."

"When was the last time you had your hair cut?"

"Almost two months ago."

"Like This."

After that, she stopped talking, and also refused to let go, just staring at him.

After resisting for a while, Soya sighed quietly.

"Then leave it to Kirino..."

"Don't sigh, my cut is not ugly."

"It's not a question of good-looking or ugly, I just think Kirino is just playing with my hair."

"I also have moments when I'm serious!"

Leaving the backyard, Sogu changed his shoes and went upstairs with a thin bamboo and nylon rope.After fixing Yuedu's baby tomato seedlings, he followed Akane Kirino to her home.

"It seems that I haven't been to Kirino's house for a long time."

"Because I've been staying in the old house recently."

Akane Kirino moved the stool, "Hongzi also goes there more often...she 'likes' Soya too much."

"..."

Soya shook his head, and was immediately held down by her.

"do not move."

"It hasn't started yet."

"I'm already looking for a feeling."

wow-

She spread out the scarf, wrapped it around his neck, and smiled at him again in the mirror.

"Does the guest have any requests?"

"whatever."

"Take good care of your hair."

"Then change to a barber...it hurts."
