Chapter 139

Actually, Yoko Okino herself knew that she and Ren Amamiya only had that life-saving grace.

But she didn't help Ren Amamiya many times; instead, she was always taken care of by Ren Amamiya.

"I originally wanted to help you, but it turned out I was the one being helped."

She originally thought that as an adult, she could help a boy.

But Yoko Okino saw that this boy was very strong; instead, she was the one who needed to be helped.

"Guessed that I was alone, so you wanted to help me?"

"Yes."

Yoko Okino’s original idea was quite good; this boy saved her life, so she should give this boy some help.

But the result was completely the opposite.

Ren Amamiya felt it was unnecessary; he had already passed the most difficult stage, and his current days had begun to move in a good direction.

However, he was not opposed to this kindness that was like repaying a debt of gratitude.

Otherwise, he would have already sent the other party away.

Yoko Okino suddenly raised her head.

"Did you know from the beginning?"

Ren Amamiya nodded slightly.

"Your intentions were too obvious."

"Those few times you took the initiative to come to the door before, you might as well have written 'I’m here to be your sister' on your face."

Recalling the contacts from the previous few times, Ren Amamiya could only shake his head helplessly.

"If it’s about age, it’s quite suitable."

"But in terms of reliability, I feel like I’m more like taking care of a younger sister."

"Hmm..."

Yoko Okino herself also had some reflection on the problem of not being like an older sister at all.

But she just didn't know why, in front of this boy who didn't talk much, she was always inexplicably lowered by the air pressure.

It was clearly the appearance of not being good at words when they first contacted, but now it feels like he has become eloquent.

"Speak! Did you deliberately act like you weren't good at words?"

"I’m just not good at socializing."

"Then, except for the beginning, you communicated with me just fine at other times?"

"Because I’m not good at facing strangers; after contacting more, the words gradually increased."

Ren Amamiya is least good at socializing.

Because he doesn't know how to find suitable topics, worrying that what he says won't be picked up, so he simply won't take the initiative to communicate with others.

In this case of not taking the initiative to socialize, it is even less easy to contact girls.

This also caused the fundamental reason why Ren Amamiya is not good at facing girls.

If it were in a person’s room, he would occasionally say some words.

But if it were in front of a stranger, he really couldn't squeeze out a fart for half a day.

No way, social phobia is just like this.

"Oh, no wonder."

Yoko Okino finally understood what was going on.

Social phobia is indeed like this.

Ren Amamiya interrupted the conversation temporarily, but pointed to the open door of his house.

"Although this is a one-ladder-two-household format, there are only two of us neighbors on this floor, but isn't it too cold to talk outside?"

Very timely, a cold wind blew over.

Yoko Okino felt her toes were a few degrees colder.

"It’s indeed not very suitable."

"Then you go back first, I’ll bring over the yam and pork rib soup that was just stewed, and we’ll eat together at night."

Saying that, Yoko Okino didn't give Ren Amamiya the right to refuse, and went back to her room in a hurry.

Leaving Ren Amamiya standing outside shaking his head helplessly.

He was not opposed to this kind of contact between friends, but forget about being an older sister.

It is really difficult to treat this female celebrity who is in a hurry and always unreliable as an older sister.

If it were a vibrant younger sister, maybe it would be fine.

Pulling the suitcase at the door, he walked into the house.

The door doesn't need to be closed; only the neighbor next door can come in on this floor, no need to worry so much.

It’s cold outside, and it’s even colder in the room.

Perhaps because of the characteristics of the evil spirit that remained, or perhaps because there was no popularity in the house for two days on the weekend, this made the temperature of the whole house seem colder than outside.

There was also some smell of dust.

Ren Amamiya spread his hands, and an invisible water droplet appeared on his palm.

"Concealment."

In an instant, the room that still had the smell of dust lost that smell of dust.

"Hmm, it became easier when cleaning."

The concealment of the River of Eternal Darkness is simply too suitable for dealing with some things that are not needed.

It’s just that I don't know if that goddess will be angry because of his use.

Shaking his head, Ren Amamiya moved the suitcase to the balcony and threw the clothes inside into the washing machine one by one.

Putting in laundry detergent and adjusting the washing mode is finished.

Walking out of the balcony, he saw the bowls and chopsticks already set on the dining table in front of the kitchen, and a female neighbor who was already sitting in her seat.

"Come, come, come, taste how my craftsmanship is?"

Ren Amamiya walked over and sat opposite the female neighbor, picking up the bowl of soup that had already been served.

The salty and fresh taste is full, and the rich pork rib soup is delicious.

The soup even had a trace of white; this should be pork rib soup that has been stewed for a long time.

"Very delicious."

"The soup, it must have been stewed for a long time, right?"

"That’s right~ It started stewing in the morning."

Yoko Okino was quite happy that her craftsmanship was affirmed.

"Because I was worried that the pressure cooker would stew it until it was rotten, in that case, the meat would not be delicious."

"So I used a casserole to stew it."

"The time used was a little longer, but the taste of the soup is definitely no problem, and the pork ribs will not be particularly woody, or stewed until the taste is gone."

"You taste it."

"Hmm."

Ren Amamiya picked up a piece of pork rib to taste.

The taste did not lose the original meat flavor due to stewing, and the meat quality was also very tender, and it fell off the bone with a light bite.

The part sticking to the bone was still firm.

"Very good taste."

"The seasoning is just right, there will be no meat smell, not rotten or woody, and it is easy to fall off the bone."

"As a female celebrity, is your involvement in this aspect too deep?"

The yam and pork rib soup had no problems at all, and could even be said to be quite delicious.

But is this reasonable?

A female celebrity who often appears in various idol dramas, variety shows, and stage activities actually has such craftsmanship.

This question is simply the greatest praise for Yoko Okino.

"I’ve already said it before, right?"

"I like cooking, and occasionally I can release some pressure through cooking."

"And I have also participated in some cooking programs; in order to avoid flaws, the program team really taught me how to cook seriously."

"After participating in that program for a long time, my level naturally went up."
