With a hint of teasing: "But, does Shirakawa-kun simply find May cute?"
"Look...look at the five of us. You know, we all look exactly alike."
Upon seeing a dazzling glimpse of fair skin, Shirakawa said without changing his expression, "May is cute, and of course you are cute too."
At this point, he lowered his head slightly to Yihua's ear, speaking in a voice only she could hear.
She said softly, "If Ichika is willing to give me some more benefits, that would be the best."
"However, I hope Ichika knows that most people would find it hard to resist testing a normal guy like this."
"But I have a better suggestion. Would you like me to come to your room tonight?"
Startled by the breath beside her ear, Yihua once again distanced herself.
With a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, she said, "Is this a suggestion? And to come into the room? Don't you dare try anything naughty, we're just friends."
Shirakawa found her innocent demeanor somewhat amusing and said with a teasing look, "Are we just friends?"
Ichika regained some of her composure. "What... While I do have some feelings for Shirakawa-kun, isn't this progressing a bit too fast?"
"Besides, Miku and Nino are still in the kitchen."
May nodded thoughtfully, agreeing, "You're right. I never imagined that you, Shirakawa-kun, would be in such danger."
"Eh...but I think Shirakawa-kun is great. He's even willing to play games with me. How is he dangerous?"
Yotsuba also threw away the playing cards and stood up to say something on behalf of Shirakawa.
Just because someone plays games with you, you think they're a good person?
Shirakawa was amused by Yotsuba's words, and just as he was about to say something...
Nino's voice came through: "Dinner is ready, one flower, four leaves, five months."
"And...you, go wash your hands right now, it's too unhygienic."
Upon hearing that it was time to eat, May and Yotsuba exchanged a glance and then hastily tidied up the area.
Shirakawa Shiki didn't mind Nino's form of address and simply replied politely, "Nino, please take care of me later."
"Don't be so serious, you're making me feel so uncomfortable."
Nino was taken aback, then glanced at him with her hands on her hips.
"That's basic etiquette, but it won't happen again next time."
As soon as she finished speaking, May looked at Shirakawa Shiki with slight surprise, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
Ichika chuckled and stood up, seemingly unconcerned about what had just happened.
However, her cheeks were slightly flushed as she hurried along.
......
Everyone sat down at the table, and Miku obediently handed over a brand new set of chopsticks and a bowl: "Shiki-kun, please eat."
"Thank you." Shirakawa accepted it with a smile.
"Hmm...no need to be polite, hehe." Miku's lips curled up slightly, her face showing a hint of joy.
"Miku, you're being a bit unreasonable," Ichika said with a smile.
Miku frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "Huh? What's wrong with me?"
"Ichika, if you have something on your mind, just say it directly."
Ichika, upon hearing this, said in a calm and unhurried tone: "You've known Shirakawa-kun for so long, yet you've kept it a secret from us sisters all this time."
"What you did was really unethical. Aren't we inseparable best friends?"
Miku paused for a moment, then muttered softly, "Why should I tell you about something like this...?"
"That's not a good way to put it. You know we can be together every day, Miku."
Nino raised an eyebrow, this time siding with Ichika.
"Ichika, Nino, and Miku, stop arguing about this."
"It's time to eat now. Let's not keep Shirakawa-kun waiting."
May stood up at this moment, managed a smile, and interrupted their conversation.
Shirakawa agreed with what May said.
The world is vast, but food is paramount; when it's time to eat, you can't delay.
However, Miku and Nino had different opinions, and they both exclaimed "Ha!" in unison.
"May, this is none of your business."
"That's right, May, you sit down, you meat bun monster."
Hearing this nickname, I was already quite unhappy with my friends calling me that.
And now, with boys present, she's calling him that, which makes May quite embarrassed and angry.
She quickly glanced at the person sitting in the chair, who was beaming with smiles.
Then, with a face full of shame and indignation, she said, "Nino! Miku! You two despicable people!"
"I'm not going to talk to you anymore! I won't help you with your homework anymore!!"
This counterattack left the sisters both amused and exasperated.
Nino and Miku exchanged a glance and burst out laughing.
Yotsuba then stood up and said, "Alright, Shirakawa-kun and I are both hungry."
"Nino and Miku, you guys stop playing around."
Seeing this, Ichika yawned and whispered something to Miku.
Chapter 110 And so, the sisters watched...
Ichika said something that made Miku's face turn bright red, and she quickly said, "Yes, let's eat first."
"This is a dish that Nino and I made. Shiki-kun, you can try it."
"However... the taste might not be very good."
Hearing this lack of confidence, Nino, who was standing nearby, became displeased.
She glanced at Miku: "Miku, what are you saying? You should know that I also cook."
"Don't say such discouraging things again."
After saying that, she turned her gaze to Shirakawa Shiki: "You rascal, don't swallow your tongue later."
"I'm quite confident in my cooking skills."
Upon hearing this, Shirakawa did not deliberately spoil their mood.
He smiled at them, revealing a hint of hope at just the right moment: "Really? Then I'll be really looking forward to it."
Nino and Miku, whose eyes were fixed on him, clearly noticed and glanced at him shyly in unison: "Anyway, you should try it first."
"Also, Yotsuba and May, put down your chopsticks first. The guests haven't even started eating yet, what are you two going to eat?"
It turned out that May and Yotsuba had already put their chopsticks into the dishes on the table.
Hearing their playful shouts, he immediately gave an embarrassed smile.
They are quintuplets, and their family is different from that of ordinary Japanese families.
The cooking method is not to provide individual portions, but rather, like in Shirakawa's family, everyone can help themselves to the stir-fried dishes.
Seeing this scene, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all; on the contrary, he felt a sense of warmth and familiarity.
May stared at Nino silently, her eyes seeming to say, "You know perfectly well that I get hungry very easily."
Nino glared back and said, "All you ever do is eat, eat, eat! What's wrong with eating later today?!"
Immediately, May lowered her head dejectedly.
She secretly thought to herself, "What a fake sisterhood."
Miku tilted her head and secretly glanced at Shirakawa Shiki, a glint of something special in her beautiful eyes: "Shiki-kun, I made this dish. It's fried chicken nuggets."
Shirakawa accepted the food she had carefully picked up with a smile and slowly swallowed it in one bite.
Seeing him chewing carefully, Miku asked expectantly, "How is it? Is it delicious, Shiki-kun?"
This is how she has been teaching herself to make fried chicken nuggets recently.
Compared to the other dishes, this was her best one...
"Well, it's delicious."
Shirakawa didn't hold back his praise, speaking frankly.
"Hehehe." Miku's face lit up with joy, and then she looked at her other sisters.
"Then let's start eating too. Why aren't you eating, May and Yotsuba?"
