Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 521 A gift with ulterior motives

In the evening, Xiaozi came back from buying ingredients and cooked a sumptuous dinner for everyone.

Today's boiled dish is sweet and sour fish, but the other appetizers are also good, especially the egg tofu that is so tender that it almost melts in the mouth, topped with a light sauce, and the chopped green onions in the sauce are mouth-watering.

Tender vegetables and finely chopped meat pieces float in the clear soup, and the soup reveals a light flavor.

"By the way, Xiaozi, go to the table in the living room and choose a gift later."

"A gift? Do I have one too?" Xiao Zi half-jokingly gave Fujiwara a bowl of rice and smiled, "I thought I was forgotten."

"I have them all. I brought some gifts to everyone I know. Some are given out now and some will be given tomorrow." Fujiwara said as he looked at Xiao Ai who was silently accompanying the rice but not eating much.

This caused ripples in Xiao Ai's heart, and elusive emotions flashed through her eyes: "Am I overthinking it?"

Hasn't she already received the gift? Are there other gifts?

While Xiao Ai was in trouble, Mary also secretly observed the smile remaining on Fujiwara's mouth and realized something.
  It looks like Mingmei is coming.
  So Mary raised her hand slightly to pick up a piece of tofu for herself, and bit it quietly. The tender tofu melted in her mouth, and soon a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Xiaozi's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Xiaozi was a little surprised to be praised by Mary for the first time. She smiled and nodded. To be honest, it was really her first time to make slippery tofu.

The smell of miso soup penetrated Xiao Ai's nose. She took a careful breath and felt the rich miso slide into her throat, and a warm feeling spread throughout her body.

"You guys eat so well every day. Why don't you, Fujiwara, take me in? I'm very capable."

Fujiwara smiled bitterly and did not answer. He raised his hand to pick up a piece of tempura and then picked up a piece of tempura with chopsticks. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the delicious flavors of vegetables and seafood are intertwined in your mouth.
  The little devil Ai in the next life has such a personality, he is easily excited and moved, and he is in adolescence and has a somewhat active mind.

Haiyuan Ai served herself some hot soup, but she almost burned her hand because she didn't hold it firmly.
  "Hu~hu."

With lingering fear, Xiao Ai blew her little hands and took a paper towel to wipe the overflowing soup.

Everyone had a great time at dinner. Everyone had smiles on their faces to varying degrees. Only Xiao Ai was a little unhappy. To be precise, looking at everyone's happy faces, she couldn't help but think of her sister, the sister in her memory. He will help himself to drink hot and cold soup very gently, and he will comfort himself very considerately that tomorrow will be better.
  After a long time, Hui Yuan Ai came back to his senses and laughed at himself, "I'm so disappointing. I'm so pretentious even though I've been saved."

"Do you need me to help you?" Fujiwara looked at Xiao Ai who was afraid to try again after being burned by the hot soup. In fact, he had just seen Xiao Ai trying various methods, but still couldn't cool down the soup. cute picture, I kept thinking about whether I should help her blow it.

In fact, you can let the hot soup cool before drinking it, but if it cools down, the oil will form an oil layer on the surface of the soup and the taste will fade away.

"Eh?"

Haibara Ai didn't understand what Fujiwara meant, but she heard her sister's voice just now. Was it an illusion?

Just when she was hesitating, she saw Fujiwara hold up a small bowl with one hand and help him blow the soup. She was so frightened that she immediately blushed and announced that she was full and wanted to go back to rest.

Seeing Xiao Ai leaving the table in a hurry, Xiao Zi immediately blamed herself, "Is the soup too spicy?" "No, it has nothing to do with you, I may have scared her."

After saying that, Fujiwara put down the small bowl with some disappointment and apologized to Xiaozi, "It's nothing. The food is very delicious. You can have a bowl by yourself later. Xiaoai is not full."

After dinner, Xiao Ai helped Xiao Zi clean up the dishes and cutlery, and took away the food waste before leaving.

Xiao Zi, who felt a little out of place, then remembered the gift, so he looked at Fujiwara and Mari who were watching TV and asked casually, "Is there really a gift from me?"

"Well, choose one."

Xiaozi smiled slightly, walked to the table, and carefully selected a box facing her. She carefully opened the package and revealed a beautiful sliding phone.

"cell phone?"

Xiaozi carefully unpacked the phone and was a little flustered when she saw the beautiful slider phone. Perhaps she felt that she was always being favored by others recently, and she began to feel a little guilty. Xiaozi didn't want others to think that she was always taking advantage, so she put the phone back into the box with some hesitation, then looked at Fujiwara and smiled: "How about I choose again, this one seems a bit expensive."

Fujiwara frowned, "Just use this if you have nothing to do. Anyway, I will get 40 yen as a monthly salary, so don't be so timid."

Xiaozi bit her lip in embarrassment, feeling that her worries might be unnecessary. She carefully took the phone back into her hands and touched it lightly with her fingers. The phone was beautifully designed and she was pleasantly surprised by its texture and appearance.

Xiaozi slowly raised his head, looked at Fujiwara, and smiled: "Thank you, Fujiwara. This phone is really beautiful. I will cherish it."

Each gift was personally selected by Fujiwara. He had been thinking about it since he saw the screen of Azusa's mobile phone shattered last time. He happened to pass by a mobile phone store at noon today and bought a new slider.

Xiao Ai looked at the two people chatting in silence for a while, then carried the cup to the basement, preparing to drink coffee and process the experimental data of the past few days.

At present, she has completed repairing most of the data on drug A, and in the remaining few weeks, she will concentrate on configuring the anti-structure drug molecules.

After the coffee machine made a sound, Haihara Ai stepped behind the bench and complained about why Fujiwara didn't put the coffee machine where she could reach it by raising her hand, while thinking about whether the sound just now was an illusion.

The hot coffee slowly falls along the edge of the cup. As the volume of the coffee liquid rises, the originally black surface of the coffee cup gradually turns white, revealing the pattern underneath.

"Color-changing cup?"

She wanted to see the complete pattern clearly, so she kept adding hot coffee. When it was full, the complete pattern emerged. It turned out that there were several small white cats hidden under the black background, and some were black. Cats, there are also a few little tabby cats

After she turned the cup over, she discovered that it was actually a story. From a rough look, it was about a black cat who was excluded from the group. It was very pitiful to be alone, but she met several kittens of different colors on the way. At first, the black cat He was afraid that he would be rejected, but with the help of several small tabby cats, the black cat became confident and happy.
  The general plot is like this. After watching it, Haiyuan Ai wanted to complain, but seeing that the other party could choose such a gift in his busy schedule, she chose to forgive first.

But what surprised her was that the mobile phone and the cup seemed to be randomly picked up by them, but they were indeed the most appropriate gifts.

"How did he do it?"
