Chapter 93: I Have No Strengths

【Ono Mizuki: My wife Senior wants you to bring Mikami Senior over】

【Ono Mizuki: Remember to say nice things!】

【Qingshan Li: Received】

"Not lying, right? Not afraid of turning into a beetle?" Qingshan Li said while putting away his mobile phone.

"Qingshan Li would turn into a beetle if he lied, Mikami Ai wouldn't." This was said by Mikami Ai herself.

Strict with others, lenient with oneself, no wonder she never has any troubles.

"Come back, Athens Philosophy needs you." Mikami Ai gazed at him.

"Just now I was only answering your question, it doesn't affect my decision. Once I don't owe you anymore, the two of us will have even less of a relationship afterward."

"You're really troublesome. Compared to avoidance, I recommend facing it more."

"Face it?"

"Fall in love with me, then get rejected by me, and afterward you won't care about this matter anymore."

"..."

"How about this: you come back, I'll give you a chance to pursue me?"

"..."

"Pushing your luck. Fine, you come back, I have a little bit of goodwill toward you, probably a bit more than cookie crumbs."

"..."

"Is your heart moved?"

"What's the difference between this silence and the previous one?" Qingshan Li was puzzled; how could this be misunderstood as a heartbeat?

Cookie crumbs? Does she take him for a goldfish?

Mikami Ai crossed her arms, smiled, leaned in slightly to observe him, and asked: "Heart moved?"

"Regardless, I don't want to get entangled with a dangerous person." Qingshan Li answered without changing expression.

"From childhood to now, people praise me as beautiful every day, but you're still the first one who calls me dangerous and actively avoids me."

"Because I have self-awareness. Staying away from you, with my conditions, I can easily live a leisurely happy life."

"What about meeting me?"

"More trouble than it's worth." Finished speaking, Qingshan Li changed the subject, "They're letting you go over."

Mikami Ai nodded: "Go together?"

"No need. I'm preparing to finish writing 'Detective A' these two days."

"How much have you written?"

"About half."

"Give it to me right now!" If not for worrying about disturbing Qingshan Li's train of thought, Mikami Ai would hate to not urge progress every time she saw him.

Really want to know what happens next.

Anyone who has read this book would have this mentality, but so far, those who have read this book, including Ono Mizuki, would not disturb Qingshan Li.

There's also a bit of not daring, afraid that urging would affect his train of thought.

"Can't right now." Qingshan Li refused.

Before Qingshan Li could finish speaking, Mikami Ai immediately asked: "Writing not going smoothly?"

On her clear elegant face was deep worry — probably worth more than half a bag of Oreo in goodwill points, pity it's for 'Detective A'.

"I promised Mika and Miyuki to let them be the novel's first readers." Qingshan Li said.

"A man who gives preference to his family, I don't dislike." Mikami Ai smiled, "Then I'll just endure a bit longer."

She walked toward the house.

Midway she suddenly stopped her footsteps, half-turned to look at Qingshan Li: "Classmate Aoyama."

"Hm?"

"I will certainly make you come back." The black-haired girl said, "Compared to the club test, ruthlessly rejecting you and watching your campus life of unrequited love sounds more interesting to me."

"That's simple enough. I'll satisfy you right now — Mikami Classmate, I like you, like you number one in the world, please go out with me."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay then."

"."

The girl smiled and walked away.

Can't ask if it's real or fake, absolutely cannot ask, asking means losing, Qingshan, you can't lose face anymore!

Only Qingshan Li remained in the yard.

He put his hands in his pockets, heart completely at leisure, gazing at the Japanese architecture before him, faint singing of the Ono Sisters reaching his ears.

Go back and continue typing.

Just about to step forward, the doorbell rang.

Who?

Could it be Miyase Yaeko? No, if it were her, the person would already be inside at the same time the doorbell rang.

Opened the door, it was an Amazon delivery.

Qingshan Li returned to his room to get his seal to sign for the delivery, then carried the box back to the courtyard, footsteps light.

He didn't immediately start field work. Today there were guests at home, and besides, he also wanted to finish writing 'Detective A' as soon as possible, then hand over the full manuscript.

The new life before his eyes was all built on this book 'Detective A'. Complete it first, then talk about other things.

Doing it this way, his mindset when doing other things could also be more leisurely.

Qingshan Li put the delivery box in the Warehouse, washed his hands, and returned to his room to continue writing.

Although the entire text was already in his mind, actually writing it down, he still couldn't help but feel immense wonder at the fine sentences and clever ideas.

Line after line of emotionally charged sentences appeared on the Computer Screen.

The beauty of reading those words seemed as if one could actually taste them, making people feel this was the result of Magic, not something written by a person.

The "dong dong~" knocking sound brought Qingshan Li back to his senses.

He felt that his experience just now was as if controlled by "Detective A", just like Ginny being controlled by Voldemort, unconsciously opening the Chamber of Secrets and releasing the basilisk.

——You're really scary, Xiao Mi.

"Sister, dinner is ready!" Ono Mizuki called out sweetly.

"Coming."

Qingshan Li and Ono Mizuki walked into the Kitchen and washed their hands respectively.

"Miyuki," Qingshan Li said thoughtfully, "should we make something else?"

"No!"

"It's as delicious as Hamburg Steak."

". Can you guarantee it?"

"I guarantee it."

". Then you try it." Ono Mizuki wasn't too reassured, but still agreed.

Qingshan Li wanted to try; if he learned another Cooking skill, could he improve the evaluation of 【Cooking E】?

"Miyuki, is there any dish you particularly want to eat?" he asked.

"Brother's Hamburg Steak!"

"Understood, as long as it's delicious, anything goes."

Ask Mikami Ai about making a dish she likes to eat? Qingshan Li pondered.

Make her favorite dish every day, make her completely unable to leave him starting from taste, and after she falls in love with him, ruthlessly dump her, to avenge the humiliation of being toyed with today!

Forget it, better not be so childish.

"Have you decided what to make?" Ono Mizuki washed the ingredients needed for Sukiyaki, "If you need anything, I'll wash it for you first."

"Just make a simple bowl of Noodles."

"Ramen?"

"Poor hospitality!"

". You haven't started cooking yet?"

"Miyuki, in Baseball, when the batter stands in the Batter's Box and points the Baseball Bat toward the Field, it means declaring 'I will hit a Home Run'. My 'poor hospitality' means the same thing—Victory, Certain Victory!" Qingshan Li tied on his Apron.

——System!

"Baseball?" Ono Mizuki seemed to remember something, "Weren't you struck out? Strikeout?"

——Wait a moment, stand by.

"How do you know?" Qingshan Li asked curiously.

"About your matters, even if I don't want to hear, they still reach my ears." Ono Mizuki said helplessly.

"What did they say about me?"

"Besides being handsome, what else is there to say?" Ono Mizuki's sweet little face was full of Contempt, expressing the meaning of 'you reflect on yourself properly'.

"." Qingshan Li could not Refute.

He was a Mediocre man who had no strengths other than being super handsome, and couldn't even study.

——System!

【Begin 'Cooking' Guidance】

Flour, Salt, Water, Dry Flour;

Knead, Rub.

Knuckles distinct Fingertips grabbed into the Dough, pulling, Folding, Flipping, slapping on the Cutting Board.

Ono Mizuki glanced at him, couldn't help but purse her Lips and smile.

Her Lips were red, that kind of delicious Cherry Color, smiling intimately, cute and Charming.

While the Dough was fermenting, System·Ryosuke took Ingredients out of the Refrigerator and simmered Soup Stock.

Qingshan Li looked at the Ingredients before deciding on the Ramen to make; he didn't want the System to suddenly borrow money and run out to buy Ingredients halfway through.

He took out eight Bowls, arranged them in order on the Cooking Counter, and began preparing Tiaoliao.

After Tiaoliao was finished, the Dough had also fermented, having a Silk-like round Gloss.

After sprinkling Dry Flour, System·Ryosuke began pulling by hand.

Suddenly, He shook His hand, and amidst the abundant Dry Flour, strand after strand of Chewy Noodles appeared.

Water boiled, Cook, Remove, Plating.

——You can Withdraw!

"Poor hospitality!" Qingshan Li turned back, saying to the girls crowding at the Doorway.
