Kurona looked at Nashiro with a puzzled expression.
Her younger sister was somewhat shy around strangers.
When she was not around, Nashiro would usually keep a cold expression on her face.
It was not indifference; her body was simply too tense.
Kurona’s gaze paused.
She stared at Gao Yu’s face for a while, and suddenly understood why her younger sister was not as resistant.
A casual outfit worn by Gao Yu gave off a high-end feeling.
His slender fingers had distinct joints, and he gently waved his five fingers at her in greeting.
Kurona’s gaze was also drawn toward his hand.
His black hair was styled with a slight middle part.
It seemed that the young man did not pay much attention to his hairstyle, merely pushing his hair to both sides so that it did not cover his eyes, yet his hairstyle was not messy.
The lines on both sides of his cheeks were not rigid, but slightly soft.
His eyebrows and eyes were also sharply raised, with the ends of his eyebrows pointing downward.
His eyes seemed to contain a starry sky, with countless stars shining brightly.
His thin lips did not make him look harsh, while his high nose bridge showed no hint of fierceness.
The person before her was too gentle and handsome in appearance, to the point that Kurona immediately developed a favorable impression upon seeing him.
Kurona suddenly understood what people online meant by a gentle-type handsome man.
With a smile at the corner of Gao Yu’s lips, it was truly easy for people to develop a favorable impression of him.
It was only after Gao Yu waved his hand that she came back to her senses, awkwardly wanting to pull Nashiro in front of her as a shield.
Gao Yu smiled.
“Hello, my name is Gao Yu. I’m a newcomer. Please take care of me.”
Gao Yu had long since become accustomed to this.
His natural foundation was already extremely good.
Even before transmigrating, he had received so many confessions that his hands had become soft from accepting them.
Now that the energy of Heaven and Earth was strengthening his body and removing its imperfections, his appearance naturally became increasingly outstanding.
“Sister, your lunchbox.”
Nashiro handed her another lunchbox.
Kurona sat in the middle of the bench, the blush on her face not yet faded.
After staring at him for quite a while, she was embarrassed too.
“Gao-kun, aren’t you having lunch?”
Kurona had not seen Gao Yu bring a lunchbox, nor had he gone to the cafeteria.
“I’m fine.”
Constantly absorbing the energy of Heaven and Earth, Gao Yu basically could not feel hunger.
Normally, eating was merely a way for him to taste the flavor.
Kurona looked at the lunchbox in her hands and quietly leaned closer to Nashiro’s ear to speak.
Nashiro nodded.
She had not started eating yet, simply waiting for her sister to arrive so they could eat together.
“Um, Gao-kun, if you don’t mind, why don’t we eat together?”
Kurona gestured toward the lunchbox in her hands.
Nashiro also raised the lunchbox in her hands, her eyes filled with anticipation.
After all, the two had the Yasuhisa family’s wealth.
Even though they would later be deceived by Akihiro, they would not lack money for food.
“This… wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
Gao Yu waved his hand and politely refused.
Not to mention that he was not hungry, it would always feel somewhat inappropriate to eat someone’s lunchbox when they had only just met.
“It’s fine.” Kurona’s peripheral vision landed on Nashiro.
The anticipation on her younger sister’s face was not hidden in the slightest.
Kurona was delighted.
It was rare for her younger sister to be interested in a boy, so there was no harm in getting to know him a little.
Even if Gao Yu turned out to have poor character, they could simply cut ties with him after discovering it.
“Then thank you.”
Seeing this, Gao Yu no longer refused.
Compared to all the nameless passersby, he was quite willing to interact with characters who had names in the original story.
It could be considered fulfilling the anime dream he had back then.
“Don’t mention it. Move over a little.”
Nashiro sat on the side closer to Gao Yu.
Kurona pushed her slightly toward Gao Yu and whispered something into Nashiro’s ear.
She repeatedly shook her head after hearing it.
Nashiro took a pair of spare chopsticks from her pocket.
Kurona looked at her younger sister in shock.
“Because I lost my chopsticks several times before, I carry a spare pair of chopsticks with me now.”
Nashiro explained softly.
Yasuhisa Kurona nodded.
That was fine.
Having someone use her own chopsticks when they were eating together for the first time would indeed be somewhat inappropriate.
Gao Yu heard everything clearly.
Nashiro occasionally gave him a helping hand.
Gao Yu accepted the chopsticks and politely picked up the food, putting it into his mouth without letting the chopsticks touch his lips.
Looking at them this way, aside from their hair colors, the two sisters really were exactly the same.
Even for twins, it was somewhat outrageous.
After all, it was normal for twins to have different physical development due to differences in diet, exercise, and daily routines during their growth.
But the Yasuhisa sisters had almost no differences at all.
They looked as though they had been carved from the same mold.
Nashiro sat in the middle, feeling as though even the hand holding her chopsticks was trembling.
The presence of the opposite sex beside her caused her heartbeat to accelerate slightly.
The two portions of lunch were quickly finished by the three of them.
After chatting briefly on the bench, they said their goodbyes.
The afternoon was still spent testing Gao Yu’s various statistics.
Because they had become familiar with the Yasuhisa sisters, they quietly watched from the side.
Kurona and Nashiro exchanged glances, feeling that even though the two of them had trained for so long, they still could not compare with Gao Yu.
…
While Gao Yu was training at the Ghoul Investigator Training Academy, Kiyoko arranged a place for him to stay.
Gao Yu returned to the apartment arranged by Kiyoko and stretched himself hard.
After this entire day, he had basically gained an understanding of his approximate physical strength.
Kiyoko: [Gao-kun, I’m almost there.]
Gao Yu: [Okay, the feast will be ready soon.]
After putting down his phone, Gao Yu pulled open the curtains.
The sky gradually darkened, and after a while, it would fall into darkness.
“Time to start cooking.”
Gao Yu tied an apron around himself and skillfully took the ingredients out of the refrigerator.
The apartment had already been completely cleaned.
On his way back, Gao Yu had specifically bought ingredients, preparing to make a good meal to reward Kiyoko.
His cooking skills were not bad.
Most of the time, he disliked the trouble and would simply go out for fast food.
However, since he was going to reward Kiyoko, naturally making a meal himself would show more sincerity.
Gao Yu hummed a tune, his hands never stopping as he quickly cut the ingredients.
With a “swish,” he put the ingredients into the pan.
When he invited Touka over later, he would have to show off his skills and let Touka experience his culinary prowess.
To capture a man’s heart, one must capture his stomach with perfect cooking skills.
Naturally, the same could be done to capture a woman’s heart.
Gao Yu did not particularly like Japanese food, so the dishes he made were naturally Chinese cuisine.
They tasted better and were more familiar to him.
When the final dish was taken out of the pan, a knock on the door appeared at just the right moment.
“Coming, coming.”
Gao Yu placed the final dish down, walked to the entrance, and opened the door.
Kiyoko stood there looking beautiful.
No matter how long one looked at her, Kiyoko’s charm never diminished.
This was the advantage of a woman who exercised regularly maintaining a good figure along with an older-sister-type face.
“Sis Kiyoko, come in. I’ve just finished cooking all the dishes.”
“Gao-kun’s cooking is very good. I could already smell it while standing at the door.”
Kiyoko entered the apartment and looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table with surprise.
No matter from what angle one judged it, the meal looked delicious in terms of color, aroma, and taste, and all the dishes were Chinese cuisine.
“Mm-hm, hurry and try it. I’m quite confident in my cooking.”
After Kiyoko washed her hands, Gao Yu pushed her into her seat.
“Delicious.” Kiyoko picked up a piece of cabbage and put it into her mouth.
Her eyes widened as her small hand covered her lips.
“Eat more.” Gao Yu looked at her with a smile.
