Chapter 173: Even Female Entertainers Have Moments When They Break Down

Four chocolates on Valentine's Day should count as the peak of Ren Amamiya's life.

Although three of the chocolates were gratitude chocolates, at least they were chocolates.

Of course, apart from the meaning of the chocolates themselves, their taste was actually quite good.

Mao Li's chocolates were slightly sweet with a hint of bitterness, not overly cloying, but the flavors were balanced quite perfectly.

Suzuki's chocolates were simply sweet, yes, the kind that is sickeningly sweet.

Kaguya Sigong's chocolates were rather average; she must have made them herself.

Then there was Yoko Okino's chocolate; her skills were not bad, adjusting the sweetness of the chocolate just right, making it the second most delicious after Mao Li's.

"Ding-dong!"

Just as Ren Amamiya was tasting the chocolates, the doorbell rang.

As for who was knocking outside, it was quite obvious.

Opening the door, it was indeed Yoko Okino from next door.

Today she wore very casual clothes, holding a large clay pot with both hands while wearing heat-resistant gloves.

"Don't speak yet; wait until I'm inside before we talk."

Ren Amamiya said nothing, simply stepping aside to let her in.

Yoko Okino smiled at Ren Amamiya and walked straight into the room.

After entering the room, Yoko Okino placed the clay pot on the table.

She turned to look at Ren Amamiya, who had followed her in.

"I made some potato stew today; let's eat together."

"Do you entertainers really have this much free time usually?"

"Of course not."

Yoko Okino shook her head slightly.

"Entertainers usually work very hard."

"Rushing from one engagement to another, sometimes even sleep time is very scarce; especially after becoming famous, an entertainer's life becomes even more packed."

Hmm, this sounded more like the entertainers Ren Amamiya knew.

Yet it was precisely because of this that Ren Amamiya was suspicious.

"When you finally have an honest-to-goodness day off, do you still use your spare time to cook?"

"Cooking is one of my ways to relieve stress."

Yoko Okino explained with a smile.

"Entertainers' lives are quite hard; sometimes when there's no time, you have to eat takeout, and life becomes unhealthy."

"So whenever I have spare time, I spend a little bit of it cooking for myself."

"Moreover, the time spent cooking doesn't make me tired; instead, it releases some of the stress from my life as an entertainer."

A rather strange way to relieve stress.

But everyone has different methods for relieving stress.

Ren Amamiya felt this method was a bit strange.

However, considering her status as an entertainer and the inconvenience of going out, finding a way to relieve stress at home actually made sense.

"Entertainers need to control their weight, right?"

"Exactly."

When the topic of weight control came up, Yoko Okino felt her head start to ache.

"It was very hard at the beginning."

"To maintain my figure, I couldn't eat many sweet things."

Recalling her experience of controlling her food intake starting in high school, it was truly very painful.

"But after getting used to that dietary routine, there were no more feelings of discomfort."

"It's just that after eating things that easily cause weight gain, I need to do corresponding exercise."

"I'll go serve the rice first; let's talk while we eat."

Saying this, without giving Ren Amamiya a chance to refuse, she went straight out to the next door to bring over the rice bowls.

Soon, Yoko Okino returned with the filled rice bowls and chopsticks.

The two sat facing each other.
