Helpless, Kuroba Chikage could only continue preparing dinner, while Yuu Nan stood to the side, his gaze never leaving her.
The atmosphere in the kitchen became somewhat awkward. Kuroba Chikage's movements were a little stiff, while Hanyu Nan watched the scene with a leisurely expression.
He wasn't in a hurry. He couldn't just force this lady thief; he had to show his gentle side occasionally, which often had a surprising effect.
Thinking this, Yuu Nan stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Kuroba Chikage from behind, and took the spatula in her hand.
"Madam, you don't cook often, how can you stir-fry the vegetables like this?"
Kuroba Chikage trembled, instinctively wanting to break free but not daring to. She could only grit her teeth and say, "I don't usually cook, so it's normal that I don't know how. You're saying you do!"
"Oh, I really do know how! Madam, you'd better learn from me!"
With a smile, Yuzuru began to give her one-on-one cooking instruction.
Time passed slowly, and Kuroba Chikage's body gradually relaxed from its initial stiffness. She tilted her head slightly, watching the boy intently preparing dinner, feeling somewhat lost.
In fact, after these days of contact and understanding, she, like other intelligence agencies, believed that Yuzuru was supported by a huge organization behind him.
Especially after trying out all the magical items he gave her, Kuroba Chikage had only one thought in her mind.
That was despair, utter despair.
Those props and items were simply beyond the reach of this era; the advanced technology and amazing functions they displayed far exceeded our imagination.
Moreover, since Yuzuru was so nonchalant in giving things to him, it proves that he must have even better things in his possession.
So these past few days, after facing all sorts of shameful requests from Yuzuru Hanyu, Kuroba Chikage ultimately chose to silently comply.
Because she knew all too well that only by appeasing this great demon could her son and husband be safe.
"If this boy weren't so violent, he would actually be quite handsome..."
Kuroba Chikage's gaze was slightly lost in thought.
Yu Sheng Nan seemed to notice the gaze falling on her, and lowered his head to meet her eyes.
"Madam, why are you looking at me like that?" Yu Shengnan's lips curled up, a hint of mockery in his voice.
Kuroba Chikage snapped back to her senses, hurriedly lowered her head, and said, "No, it's nothing."
Yu Sheng Nan smiled gently and continued what he was doing, but his mind was no longer solely on cooking.
"Madam, study hard, or you will be punished!"
Yu Shengnan deliberately dragged out his words. As he spoke, a purple button flew down from the bedroom on the second floor and landed in his hand.
"Don't!"
The moment Kuroba Chikage saw the button, her golden pupils contracted sharply, her eyes filled with fear and panic.
But Yu Shengnan had already pressed the button with a wicked smile, "Let's give Madam a little punishment first, punishing her for not studying properly."
As the button was pressed, Kuroba Chikage instantly raised her head, her short purple hair swaying wildly in the air.
A surge of heat suddenly rose from her body, making her feel an indescribable tingling sensation. Her legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand up. If Yu Shengnan hadn't caught her in time, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Is Madam ill? Why is her face so hot?"
Yu Shengnan's expression was solemn. He reached out and touched her delicate cheek, the touch feeling like fire.
"I...I'm fine!"
Kuroba Chikage bit her lip, remaining silent.
"That's good. Let's continue our culinary exchange!"
Yuzuru smiled and continued cooking.
However, this dinner took a bit too long to prepare, and there were a lot of punishments as well.
"Oh dear, Madam, how could you put so much water in your porridge? It's turned into gruel! This punishment is a warning." Yu Shengnan said with a mischievous grin as he pressed the button in his hand.
"Mmm~" Kuroba Chikage couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
"Hmm? Madam, how can you put sugar in scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Were you not listening carefully? This punishment will serve as a warning."
Yuzuru Hanyu's face wore a feigned seriousness.
"Waaah~...you...didn't teach me either!" Kuroba Chikage retorted, feeling wronged.
"Didn't they teach you?"
Yuzuru frowned and thought for a moment, realizing he hadn't actually said anything, but he didn't care. "No talking back to the teacher! This is a punishment to serve as a warning!"
"Ugh!!!" Kuroba Chikage's voice was filled with helplessness and humiliation.
"West Lake Fish in Vinegar Sauce! You actually put vinegar in it! That's outrageous! You must be punished!"
"Yushu said loudly."
"..."
Kuroba Chikage was powerless to refute and could only silently endure it.
"Punish him!"
"Punish him!"
"..."
...
As the dinner progressed, the reasons for the punishment became increasingly outrageous.
From initial cooking errors to later instances where even Kuroba Chikage's vegetable-cutting technique wasn't up to standard, everything became an excuse for Hanyu Nan to punish him.
Only when Kuroba Chikage could no longer support him and slumped against the kitchen cabinet like a lump of mud, did Yuu Nan finally end this so-called teaching session with a sense of satisfaction.
"Alright, now we just need to wait for the pigeon soup to cook before we can eat it."
Yu Sheng Nan gently put the lid on the casserole and wiped the water off his hands with satisfaction.
I wasn't planning to make soup while cooking porridge, but suddenly a pigeon flew in from outside.
Out of a strong sense of responsibility as an excellent teacher, Yuzuru felt that punishment should not be the only approach, but should be rewarded.
So, on a whim, he gave a live demonstration on how to turn a lively pigeon into a delicious pigeon soup.
After clearing away the dishes, Yu Sheng Nan looked down at Kuroba Chikage, whose eyes were vacant and who seemed to have left her body, and gently reached out to stroke her wet purple hair.
"Madam, are you hungry? But the pigeon soup won't be ready for a while. Let's have some dessert first!"
"Pfft... Ugh!"
...
After feeding Kuroba Chikage some sweet cream, Hanyu Nan walked out of the Kuroba residence feeling refreshed and in a good mood.
He didn't plan to stay for dinner, since there was a well-behaved little maid waiting for him to come home for dinner.
"6:30."
Standing at the door, Yuzuru raised his wrist and looked at his watch. The hands pointed to 6:30. He had been there for exactly two hours.
However, it's summer now, the sun is out for a long time, and the sky is still bright and hasn't gotten dark yet.
"So comfortable~"
Yuzuru stretched lazily, then pushed open the door and walked out, casually glancing at the house next door.
Just as it was thrown over, the door of the Nakamori residence next door opened, and a young girl with long, flowing hair, wearing a blue and white school uniform, walked out of the house.
He was still muttering to himself: "Soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, salt, sugar, sweet and sour soy sauce fish..."
