I just want to live in peace, I refuse to fall in love

Chapter 22 A truly strong person never forgets to study even when cooking
Shirakawa Kazuya was determined to make golden curry rice tonight.After he found all the ingredients in the refrigerator, he went straight to the kitchen, vowing to enlighten these two guys who had no childhood.

He sliced ​​the pork, added a small spoonful of salt and black pepper, mixed it briefly and set it aside.Chop the onion roughly on the cutting board, cut the potatoes and carrots into cubes the size of a dice, and smash the garlic cloves into mince with the backhand of the knife.

Then heat the oil in a pan, put the marinated pork slices in the pan and stir-fry, then add the chopped onions, potato cubes, carrot cubes and minced garlic into the pan and stir-fry until fragrant.

Maintaining medium heat, Shirakawa Kazuya stir-fried the ingredients in the pot for 5 minutes. By the way, he recalled the previous math problem in his mind. It should be in the chapter about the symmetry axis of quadratic functions, right?He took wheat flour and sprinkled it in, then turned to low heat and continued to stir fry.

While thinking about the answer to the math problem, he poured the broth into the pot and boiled it while keeping an eye on the foam and skimming it off.

Finally, after adding curry powder, Worcestershire sauce and bay leaves to the pot, he covered the pot and simmered over low heat, waiting for a while before it was ready to be cooked.

"The names of the four northern islands are Kunashiri, Shikotan, Etoratsu, and Habomai. Okay, if you answer correctly, ten more points will be added!"

Shirakawa Kazuya was not idle while waiting for the food to come out of the pot, playing a history quiz game by himself.A truly strong person never forgets to study even while cooking!He was very satisfied with his performance and casually added twenty points to himself, surpassing his simulated opponent and winning No. 1.

Xiangzi and Nagata Chinatsu have already sat down at the table obediently.He put the curry rice on the table, and the aroma immediately filled the entire living room.Although Shirakawa Kazuya opened the pot lid and no golden light came out, his cooking skills still made the two of them enjoy the meal.

After the meal, because they ate too much, the three of them gathered around the table and drank barley tea to relieve their appetite.Shirakawa Kazuya wanted to get them to join the history quick question and answer session, but after two rounds, he was completely stuck. In desperation, he could only chat casually about what happened on campus. It was said that Kawakami Masamune seemed to be not going well recently. Because of my girlfriend.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Shirakawa Kazuya took Hashimoto Kouko to say goodbye. Walking on the road, looking at the waning moon beside the branches, he thought in his heart, "The missing moon hangs on the sparse tung trees, which breaks the early tranquility of the people." "Such a sentence.

Wow, as expected of me, I casually said such a famous sentence!

OK, let’s try it again.Who was the general Motonari Mori defeated in the Battle of Itsukushima?

Tao Qingxian!Well, absolutely right!It seems that tomorrow’s exam is stable!

The next question is
Although he had answered everything, Shirakawa Kazuya, who was determined to get the top spot in his grade, did not slack off. He returned home and continued to take out the textbook and exercises and read them.I want to use the last night to work harder and catch up with other top students who start to slack off when they think they have finished reviewing.

The gap is often widened by small things in daily life!
He worked hard and studied very seriously.Hashimoto Xiangzi looked at him working hard and was too embarrassed to disturb him.He sat on the sofa alone and read a magazine for a while. He looked up at the back of Shirakawa Kazuya who was studying hard and then continued to look down at the magazine.

She was restless, and after reading a few pages, she looked up at Shirakawa Kazuya again.

"Hey." She sighed, took her schoolbag in front of her, sat down by the kotatsu, took out her history book and started reading.

This situation is very common in daily life. If everyone is not studying, they can have fun together.If one person starts to study, the people next to him will become restless and will not have fun playing. In the end, they can only join the team studying together.

The time came to eleven o'clock in the evening.

Hashimoto Koko put down her history textbook drowsily, lay on the table and yawned.She started to feel sleepy after reading it for a long time. She only read three pages of the book for more than an hour, and she was busy working.

He had some admiration for Shirakawa Kazuya's perseverance. A few hours later, Onisan was still immersed in studying under the desk lamp without saying a word.But I have an extra stack of draft paper on hand.

"Onisan, it's already eleven o'clock. I can't stand it anymore. I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep later."

Shirakawa Kazuya put down the math problem in his hand, patted his face and said as if waking up from a dream, "Oh, is it already eleven o'clock? What time does Xiangzi usually go to bed at night?" "I usually go to bed at this time. "

"Okay, let me help you make the quilt." Shirakawa Kazuya got up from his seat and walked over.

"No, I can just do this little thing myself. Speaking of which, Ounisang, do you study late every day?"

Hashimoto Koko stopped him from yawning and leaned her weight on him, as if talking in sleep.

"It's usually around twelve o'clock." Bai Chuanhe didn't dare to move. He touched her long, silky hair, and a faint fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose.

There was a warm touch on the top of her head. Xiangzi turned her head and rubbed Shirakawa Kazuya's palm with her little head.After a while, she yawned again, forced her eyes open, and slowly walked to the sink to brush her teeth.

Shirakawa Kazuya also followed.The water heater in this house is very old, and it takes a long time to run cold water before it can produce hot water. He used to connect it to a basin to flush the toilet.He didn't plan to eat anymore tonight, so he and Xiangzi simply finished washing up before going to bed to save some water bills.

Only by doing a good job in increasing revenue and reducing expenditure can the wallet be bulging.

The two of them, one tall and one short, stood in front of the mirror and brushed their teeth. Xiangzi closed her eyes while brushing, her body swayed slightly, and a few small white dots were splashed on the mirror.

"By the way, Xiangzi, how do you go to school tomorrow?"

Xiangzi replied in a daze, "Take the bus and you can go directly to the school. It's very convenient, Ouni-san doesn't have to worry."

After Shirakawa Kazuya finished washing, he leaned against the wall and watched Xiangzi finish washing her face slowly.Then use a paper towel to wipe the mirror and the edge of the sink carefully.

Xiangzi took out the bedding from the closet, spread it on the tatami and got in.

"Good night, Onisan."

Shirakawa Kazuya turned off all the lights in the bathroom and bedroom, looked at Xiangzi with only her little face exposed, and responded with a smile, "Good night, Xiangzi."

He returned to his desk and continued writing the unfinished test paper.The warm yellow light of the desk lamp was on in the quiet hut, as if it was carrying heat, and it was sprinkled on the wall and on Xiangzi's bedding.

This reminds Xiangzi of the nights they spent warming up in the snow together when they were children.

Xiangzi looked at Shirakawa Kazuya across the kotatsu, and the back figure gradually overlapped with the back figure in her memory. They were both equally reliable, and her heart gradually warmed up.

It would be great if we could always live together like this. Even if we stay in this small room all the time, it doesn't matter.Although she knew it was unlikely, she still couldn't help but fantasize.

She smiled silently under the quilt, her face a little red in the dark.Accompanied by the sound of "Sasha" writing and turning pages, she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

　Watch fireworks
