There must be no problem with the youthful struggle story between me and the horse racing girl

If you don't find a place to go, your livelihood may be in question.

What I didn't expect was that the incident turned around at the end. What happened during the seven days of Golden Week?

"My name is Kiryuin Aoi! Please give me your advice!"

The girl in front of me is as bright as a sunflower——

In short, let’s review while working!

In the blue sea!

Chapter 1 lovin'

It has been a full week since the big advance and retreat incident.

Everything seemed to have returned to peace, but maybe there was a slight difference.

18-year-old Asama Kazuomi is no longer alone——

On a rare Sunday, Hechen also kept his agreement with Xiaowanwan and went out together to buy ingredients from the trade supermarket in a nearby shopping plaza.

After all, we had agreed before that we would cook together on weekends when we had time.So when he found himself in Xiaowan, Hechen had no choice but to abide by his agreement and accompany her out.

Dajin seemed to have returned to his mother's house over the weekend, so Xiaowan naturally thought of Kazuo when he was alone in the dormitory.

After all, Hechen, like her, is someone who stays at school on weekends.

Today, Xiao Haiwan is no longer wearing a school uniform. She has her long hair carefully braided and tied up to her chest. She is wearing a beige turtleneck knitted sweater and a light blue thin-sleeved coat to flatter her figure. Shape-shaped cowhide corset and knee-length pleated skirt, round-toe cowhide high-heeled short boots.

Mature, intellectual, gentle and beautiful.

Even passers-by would stop and look at her carefully dressed appearance.

She has a plump and slender body, and wearing leather round-toed high-heeled short boots that are five centimeters high, she is almost as tall as Kazuomi.

It has to be said that Xiaowan is an admirable existence in terms of image, temperament and appearance.

She is as gentle as a woman who can squeeze water, quiet and beautiful.

Quietly carrying her satchel and walking slowly on the pedestrian street with He Chen, the girl always maintained a charming smile.

While walking in the aisle of the supermarket, Xiaowan looked at the products carefully while Hechen followed slowly with a trolley behind him.

"Asama-kun, is there anything you want to eat today?"

Xiaowan picked up a package of tomatoes wrapped in plastic wrap and marked with a discount, and turned to ask Hechen's opinion.

Compared to the dressed-up girl, Hechen just put on a relatively simple white shirt and a light gray sweater. After all, he was only a high school student before. In addition to the suits he bought for work, He doesn't have many good clothes now.

Although in terms of status, the relationship between the two should be divided into upper and lower.

But with He Chen's age and his clothes, standing with Xiao Haiwan, no matter how you look at them, they look like a young couple full of life.

In addition, Xiaowan's personality is tolerant of everything, so if you don't pay attention, you will become dependent on her.

Obviously he is the trainer, but if he is often taken care of by her, to be honest, it is still a bit embarrassing.

However, on this occasion, in addition to being teachers and students, the two of them are partners, friends and partners.

Therefore, Hechen's mentality is relatively relaxed at this time. After all, staying by Xiaowan's side always gives him an indescribable sense of peace of mind.

The two people were walking in the supermarket. Xiaowan was looking at the products while Hechen was slowly following behind him pushing a trolley.

"Well...I don't care. Let's see Xiaowan. Do you want to eat anything?"

His attitude is very casual and casual.

After all, he is the kind of person who can survive as long as he has Cup Noodles.

Such as curry miso cup noodles, tonkotsu cup noodles, etc...

It's just that since Xiaowan began to supervise his life, all the food originally used for relief was confiscated by Xiaowan.

It's not that Hechen has never thought about communicating with her, but when it comes to topics about nutrition and health, Xiaowan becomes extremely scary.

It's not because he was angry or anything.

"If this is the case, Asama-kun, I will make lunch for you every day~"

Facing this kind of concern can even be said to be unbearable.

In response, Hechen had no choice but to agree and ensure that he would not eat such non-nutritious junk food.

After all, he didn't want to delay studying and training in Xiaowan due to his own reasons.

As for expenses, because of Dajin's contribution to that incident, the chairman still gave him a bonus based on his performance appraisal.

As far as the current situation is concerned, as long as you don't spend money randomly, it's more than enough to get through a month basically stably.

"Hmm... so..."

Tilting her head slightly, the girl tapped her lower lip with her finger. After thinking for a moment, she picked up the mushrooms on the side and said:

"How about this? Do you want to try making oden tonight?"

"Oden... seems pretty good." Hechen thought for a moment and said, "But as for kitchen utensils, see if you can borrow them from the dormitory. After all, if you want to do this, you need a pot, right?"

"Hmm... If you want to make oden, as for vegetables, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, radish, yam and konjac, right?"

The girl counted on her fingers, and then began to pick up the products and compare prices.

"Xiaowan, what are you doing?"

He Chen asked curiously, after all, Xiaowan was still writing something on his mobile phone just now.

"I'm keeping accounts. After all, Mr. Asama doesn't have much salary now, right? If you don't plan carefully, you will live on cup noodles like before, right?"

Although I wanted to refute, but——

"What you taught me is..."

Obviously he is the trainer and the older one, but Xiaowan often becomes the more proactive one.

"In terms of meat intake, I just saw fish cakes on special price, and eggs that are limited to one box per person, and then there are dumplings, beef tendons, etc... In this way, the expenses should not exceed ...Hmm, fifteen hundred yen.”

"Very cheap!"

Kazuo couldn't help but marvel, being able to buy these things with such a small budget was like magic.

Xiaowan is really good at being diligent and thrifty.

"Then there is the aspect of soup ingredients... If you buy ready-made soup ingredients, it would be a bit wasteful to be honest..."

It was entirely for the sake of He Chen's balance of payments. Seeing Xiao Haiwan so confused, He Chen naturally couldn't just stand and do nothing.

"Leave this to me! My family is in Seto, so I'm pretty good at making miso soup!"

"Ara... If that's the case, then please leave it to Asama-kun."

The girl said with a smile, and followed He Chen to put the things into the cart and push it to the cashier.

.

On the way back, Hechen originally wanted to carry the ingredients alone, but he couldn't resist Xiaowan's insistence.

So in the end, it became two people walking side by side, one carrying the other.

This kind of atmosphere, somehow, always makes people feel a little charming and distracted.

Although he is only two years younger than himself, Xiaowan is indeed so trustworthy in all aspects.

"I've wanted to ask since before..."

Probably because they felt that in such an atmosphere, if the two of them didn't say anything, they would become inexplicably awkward.

In this situation, Hechen asked: "Has Xiaowan always been so good at taking care of people?"

He is good at housework, good at studying, and his competitive ability is beyond doubt.

With such a trustworthy existence, Kazuomi couldn't help but wonder, Xiaowan - has it really always been like this before?

Xiaowan was slightly startled at first, and then let out a soft hum.

"Well... how should I put it? I actually grew up in an orphanage, because I have to help take care of other children and so on. Over time, I got used to taking care of others."

"Is that so..."

He Chen did not expect that this topic would involve such a relatively heavy past event.

Everyone has their own dissatisfaction in life, even Xiaowan, who treats others tenderly on weekdays——

"But, precisely because of this, a gentle person like Xiaowan must be loved by children, right? A person like Xiaowan who can take care of others must also become a good wife."

Originally I just wanted to comfort the girl next to me.

He Chen couldn't help but sigh softly, but he didn't realize that the girl beside him had turned her face away in a rare move, and her pointed ears were twitching downwards for some reason.

On the way back——

Somehow, it became rare for Xiaowan to keep walking with his head down.

【Today’s victory or defeat】

【Asama Kazuomi who unknowingly won the victory】

Ps:

Chapter 2 ロマンチシズム

Because there is a kitchen in the teacher's dormitory, after buying the ingredients, the two returned to school and returned to Qingliao together.

After obtaining permission, the two went to the kitchen next to the lounge on the first floor.

After all, there is a separate rest space, so the various facilities in the kitchen are also very complete.

Hechen had also said before that he and Xiaowanwan would cook together, so after putting on their aprons, the two of them stood in front of the stage with a clear division of labor and were busy washing vegetables and washing rice.

"Huh huh huh~"

Wearing an apron and tying up long hair, the little bay always has an indescribable allure.

She was humming softly while peeling potatoes.

The melody of this song has been heard by Kazuomi, and it is a song that they, as horse race girls, will learn in vocal music classes. After all, in addition to horse racing, as horse race girls, they also need to take on the responsibility of singing on stage.

Listening to the familiar tone, Hechen couldn't help but relax. He rolled up his sleeves and was washing rice, and he couldn't help imagining how Da Jin and Xiao Haiwan would look on the stage one day.

"Asama-kun, can you help me take down the tableware from the cabinet over there?"

Thinking that his reverie had been discovered, He Chen quickly bowed his head and responded.He took the dishes off the counter and handed them to Cove.

Xiaowan, who took the bowl, happily placed the peeled potatoes on the chopping board. He took out his kitchen knife and deftly sliced ​​the potatoes and skewered them with thin bamboo skewers. After these were done, he put them in the bowl and soaked them in water. With.

Looking at Xiaowan's sharp and skillful knife skills, it can be seen that Xiaowan used to be a person who often came in and out of the kitchen. Contacting what she said, Hechen could even imagine that she was already in the kitchen when she was only in junior high school or even elementary school. Helping take care of other younger siblings.

"..."

What a good girl——

He couldn't help but sigh and think like this. Naturally, He Chen didn't intend to stand aside and watch.

After all, when he was frantically studying the video in the computer room, Xiaowan had to sacrifice his own time to take care of him.Without her support, his body might have collapsed before that.

Therefore, I must also support Xiaowan from all aspects.

In every sense of the word, yes.

"Okay, I will be responsible for the miso soup here."

Seeing Xiao Haiwan's energetic appearance, He Chen was somewhat affected.

He happily took out the seasonings from the cupboard, and then followed the miso soup that Miss Ayako made for him and his sister before. Recalling her steps, he was also very skillful in adding various seasonings to the clear soup according to their specific gravity. .

"Asama-kun, do you often cook when you are at home?"

Looking at Hechen's actions, Xiaowanwan could also see that what Hechen said earlier about helping with cooking was not just a joke.

"Well, after all, our family is on an island in the Seto Inland Sea. Basically, if you want to go to the other side, you can only take a local tourist boat that leaves every two hours. The adults in the family often come back late due to work, so generally If my sister and I were alone at home, I would be responsible for the food."

As he spoke, He Chen picked up the flavor plate and took a small sip.

Hmm...a little bit lighter.

"Hey, Asama-kun, does he have a sister?"
