The Promise Under the Snow: The Beginning of a Harmonious Family

Chapter 89 The Promise Under the Snow: The Beginning of a Harmonious Family

Upon arriving at the club activity room, Shiina Mahiru, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Nishimiya Shoko were already sitting inside.

Unlike the previous monotonous environment, the club activity room now has four tables put together to form a platform. You can sit on the side and rest, or study and review your lessons.

"Yo, Yukino, Kosho, Shiina-kun, good afternoon."

"Good afternoon, Kaminaga-kun," Shiina Mahiru replied with a smile.

Nishimiya Shoko came right over and grabbed his arm. "Why did you take so long? Yukino and I just went to the convenience store to reheat the bento boxes. If you hadn't come soon, the food would have gotten cold again."

"It's delicious even when it's cold! I really like Xiaoxiao's cooking!"

Shinji Kaminaga sat down naturally opposite Yukino Yukinoshita, and Shoko Nishimiya smiled as she took out a bento box. "Here you go, you can eat now."

"What about you? Have you eaten yet?" Shinji Kaminaga asked curiously.

"No," Nishimiya Shoko shook her head, "I was just waiting for you to come and eat together."

Shiina Mahiru also took out her own bento box and opened it.

It's a very simple combination of meat and vegetables, but it looks and smells delicious, exuding a sense of refinement.

She learned from her maid, Aunt Xiaoxue, and practiced frequently, so her cooking skills are excellent.

She could even open her own shop without any problem.

However, cooking is just one of her hobbies, not a means of making a living in the future.

Another thing is that I used to learn cooking in the hope of reconciling with my parents, but now it all means nothing.

Shiina Mahiru's expression turned dejected again as she thought of her mother's resolute words.

No matter what, she's just an ordinary girl.

She is not strong.

Being disliked by family members, or even abandoned now, would make anyone feel lost.

While she was thinking, she noticed that Shinji Kaminaga had already devoured his own bento and was staring longingly at the delicate crispy meatballs in her bento box.

Shiina Mahiru hesitated for a moment, then used her chopsticks to pick out a piece of crispy pork from her lunchbox and handed it to him with a blushing face.

"Would you like to try some, Kaminaga-kun?"

"Is it okay?" Shinji Kaminaga swallowed hard. He wasn't greedy, it was just that Shiina's cooking looked so good.

He wants to eat Angel's cooking!

Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya exchanged a glance, both staring at Mahiru Shiina with tacit understanding, their lips slightly pouting.

Good grief, Shiina, you look harmless, but you're the most dishonest one!

He actually seduced Kaminaga right in front of them!

"Of course, after all, you're my benefactor." Shiina Mahiru noticed the looks in her two friends' eyes and felt a little flustered, but she quickly smiled and continued to hold the chopsticks to his mouth.

"Then I won't be polite!"

Shinji Kaminaga took a bite of the crispy meatball. The golden-fried meat, enhanced by the flour, was crispy and delicious, with a rich aroma that left a lasting impression.

He couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. "This is delicious! Shiina-kun, your cooking skills are good enough to open your own restaurant!"

"It's not that exaggerated! It's just ordinary home-cooked food, a regular bento box. Anyone could make it that delicious!"

Shiina Mahiru blushed as she was praised, and shyly waved her hands repeatedly.

For the first time in her life, she was praised for her cooking, and the person was someone she had a great liking for who had saved her life. Shiina Mahiru felt a warm glow in her heart, as if she had received an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

Of course, Aunt Xiaoxue's praise doesn't count.

She actually harbored some resentment towards Aunt Xiaoxue.

Although it was a white lie, she had worked so hard for those two parents who didn't care about her, only to end up with nothing.

Aunt Xiaoxue bears a great deal of responsibility for this situation.

Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't resist getting up and moving closer, saying in unison, "Shiina-san, may I try your bento?"

After the two women finished speaking, they couldn't help but exchange a glance, and then said in unison, "In exchange, you can try my bento box too. I promise you won't go hungry!"

"Huh? Of course!"

Shiina Mahiru was stunned by what the two people were saying.

The main reason is that Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita have such similar voices that people who don't know them might think they are sisters.

With permission granted, Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita each ate a piece of crispy meatball.

Then, both of them fell silent.

The next second, Nishimiya Shoko and Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed her hands, one on each side.

"Please, Shiina-kun!"

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" Shiina Mahiru was startled and instinctively shrank back, looking at her two friends somewhat uncomfortably.

Shoko Nishimiya looked slightly defeated and said embarrassedly, "It's just my cooking skills, Shiina-kun, your cooking is so delicious, I want to learn!"

"Me too! Shiina-kun, this is a request from the club president! Don't worry, I won't let you teach me for nothing. I can—promise you something that won't violate my principles!"

Yukino Yukinoshita even asked her for cooking skills!

Shiina Mahiru looked at the two of them with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, a strange sense of accomplishment rising within her.

"Seriously, so you wanted to learn cooking skills? You could have just said so, why did you grab me? You startled me!"

"Don't worry, I'll teach you. After all, we're good friends! As for what you said about Yukinoshita, there's no need. You're my benefactor and my senior, so I'm happy to help you. You don't need to do anything for me."

Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously, "No, one thing at a time. You've taught me important cooking skills, so I absolutely have to repay you! Besides, you'll regret it later if you don't take this promise."

The two women stared at each other, their eyes seemingly sparking.

Shiina Mahiru glanced at Shinji Kaminaga somewhat guiltily, then a sweet smile bloomed on her face the next second.

"I understand. Then let's each repay our respective debts of gratitude and get along well!"

"Shiina-kun, me too! If you're willing to teach me your cooking skills, I can do you a favor if it's within my ability. It's a deal then!"

Nishimiya Shoko quickly made a promise.

Shinji Kaminaga watched the interaction between the three beautiful girls with amusement.

No matter who cooks, he never seems to lose out.

Since the goal is to teach cooking skills, then we definitely need people to taste the food.

It can only be him.

Hehe, we're in for a treat!

While the girls were discussing, there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone inside?"

The three girls exchanged a glance, tacitly packed up their lunchboxes, and then Yukino Yukinoshita's cool voice rang out.

"Someone's here, please come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a beautiful girl with a pink bun hairstyle, whose chest was no less than Shiina Mahiru's, walked in.
