Yukino and Yui stood under a tree, holding siumai in their hands, blowing on them and taking small bites. While this behavior wasn't very ladylike, everyone was doing it, so the atmosphere was pretty good.
“Yubihama-san, this isn't fair. Why do we have to wait in line for so long, while you don't have to wait and someone even saved one for you?”
“This is a thank you gift from Natsuki-kun. Last night I went with him to buy a puppy. See, it's the Shiba Inu at the foot of Chantan.”
“Oh, I'm scared of dogs, I dare not go over to tease little Chantan today.”
As they were talking, Yukino’s vision suddenly dimmed. A slender hand ruthlessly snatched a siumai from her hand.
“My dear sister, this is why you haven't been eating breakfast at home for the past two days? It wasn't for dieting? Such delicious food, why wouldn't you share with your sister? It's truly heartbreaking."
Yukinon looked at her sister with a playful tone, pretending to be heartbroken.
Yukino froze for a moment, raising an eyebrow: “Sister, how did you get here?”
“Ugh!!!”
Yukinon had no time to respond to her sister at this moment. As the siumai entered her mouth, she tasted its flavor. The deliciousness of the siumai instantly conquered her stomach.
Seeing her best friend's shocked expression, Hiratsuka-sensei smiled.
I told you it was delicious, you didn't believe me.
Now you believe it, right?
No one can resist the siumai,
Not even someone called the rational monster like Yukinon.
“Wow, it's delicious!”
“Beyond delicious.”
The dignified Yukinoshita family's eldest daughter directly blurted out an expletive, showing how surprised Yukinon was.
Her original lack of appetite, after taking a bite of the siumai, was like hearing heavenly music, her ears suddenly clear, her body strongly urging her to have another.
The four-color, golden ratio siumai,
Pinkish-white shrimp paste, dark red ham, tender yellow egg floss, four colors, four flavors, all enveloped in a milky white siumai skin, yet integrated and unified.
Her taste buds had never experienced such a rich texture. Although she had eaten each of these ingredients before, they were elevated to an unprecedented level of deliciousness when combined together. The deliciousness was like a storm, blowing a gale in Yukinon's mind, ravaging her nerves, which were called rationality.
At a certain moment, Yukinon felt a nerve in her brain snap, her eyes brimming with tears.
“It's so delicious, 呜~~”
Delicious enough to cry, that was her highest praise for this dish.
Her crying and laughing appearance stunned Yukino. She had never seen her sister show such a wide range of emotions.
After a long time,
Yukinon gradually regained her rationality.
She swallowed the siumai with a satisfied look, her gaze shifting towards Natsuki, “This boss is a real treasure. He's almost shattered all my pride with his cooking skills.”
“He's a real waste of talent, running a small roadside stall like this.”
“Sister, don't go crazy.”
A complex look flashed across Yukino's face. She didn't want Natsuki to be noticed by Yukinon. Her older sister liked to play with things endlessly, and she would utterly destroy the things she hated.
Natsuki being noticed by her wasn't a good thing.
“How can you say that? With his skills, under the support of our Yukinoshita family, he could achieve unimaginable heights in business, or even politics!”
“Natsuki-kun said setting up a stall is just a hobby, don't bother him.”
“If it's just a hobby, he wouldn't sell these siumai so expensive. Although I think it's cheap, selling it for 500 dan proves he still wants to make money.”
“Hmph, I bet Natsuki-kun won't go.” Yukino said puffing her cheeks.
“Hehe.”
Yukinon laughed happily. It had been a long time since something had interested her. This siumai, which wasn't like anything from this world, had piqued her interest.
The two sisters exchanged glances,
Yui suddenly interjected, speaking softly: “That...Natsuki-kun probably isn't short of money, he might really just be setting up a stall for a hobby.”
“???”
“What do you mean?” Hiratsuka-sensei asked.
“Natsuki-kun's house is in the Tenshu-kaku Villa.”
Yui hesitated to reveal this information. She knew it wasn't appropriate, but seeing the atmosphere just now, she was afraid that Yukino's sister would do something outrageous.
“Are you sure, how do you know?”
Yukinon's face was serious, the siumai in her hand almost dropped.
“Yesterday when Natsuki-kun bought the dog, the dog breeder sent it to that address.”
“You didn't hear wrong?”
“The shop assistant couldn't believe it at the time, he confirmed it twice with Natsuki-kun.”
Hearing this, Yukino and her sister's expressions became increasingly strange.
Especially Yukinon, she immediately labeled Natsuki as untouchable.
The Tenshu-kaku Villa area was known as the royal capital by Tokyo residents. Building a villa in Tokyo, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, was outrageously expensive. Even the price of a parking spot could buy a high-end apartment in the city center.
Moreover, as the daughter of a member of parliament, she knew that you couldn't just buy your way in. At least her family wasn't qualified to live there.
Yukinon looked at Natsuki who was riding his simple three-wheeled bicycle and putting away his stall, her expression was completely surreal.
Someone her family couldn't even reach, was actually setting up a stall selling a snack that only cost 500 dan?
The money people at his level spend on a business dinner wouldn't even cover a year's worth of siumai sales.
The boss is so carefree?
If she told her mom that she knew someone who lived in the Tenshu-kaku Villa and had even eaten his snacks, her mom would think she was crazy.
Her brain's CPU was almost running dry, Yukinon still couldn't accept this fact.
Truly powerful people can disregard everything, as long as they are happy.
After a long silence, Yukinon quickly ate a siumai to settle her nerves. It was probably just her imagination, but she felt the siumai in her mouth was even more delicious.
