Liu hurriedly shook her head, her slender fingers rubbing her forehead, trying to drive the thoughts from her mind. But in doing so, her thoughts only became more complicated.
Soukaku, seeing her like this, immediately became worried again. "Sister Liu, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!" As she spoke, she even grabbed Liu's shoulders and shook them worriedly a few times. One could only say, as expected of Soukaku. She eats a lot, and she's strong. These few shakes almost made Tsukishiro Liu faint. But it also helped her calm down a bit.
"Soukaku, stop shaking. I'm much better now. Your big brother Wise should be making lunch now. Go and help him. I'll rest a little longer."
Hearing this, Soukaku immediately nodded and obediently went downstairs to help. However, it was more likely that she was going to sneak some food than to help.
After she left, Tsukishiro Liu's face returned to its calm state, but the thoughts in her mind were constantly jumping around.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Soukaku, who had entered the kitchen, had already begun to sneak... help with the taste testing. The evaluation, naturally, was that everything was very delicious.
After making lunch, Wise, seeing that Tsukishiro Liu had not yet come downstairs, went to the room to check on her out of concern, with Soukaku following along.
The latter was currently sitting on the bed. Noticing Wise come in, she subconsciously showed a smile. Soukaku at this time excitedly came forward to share. "Sister Liu, how are you feeling now? Let me tell you, big brother Wise's cooking is super~ delicious!"
Looking at the happy Soukaku, Liu reached out with a loving expression and stroked her head. "Mhm, I'm much better now. Actually, even if you hadn't come, I was planning on going down."
Just as Liu finished speaking, who knew that Soukaku would suddenly shout excitedly and anxiously, "No way! Sister Liu was clearly still a little uncomfortable just now! How can you get out of bed now? You have to rest properly!"
The strange behavior Soukaku was referring to was, of course, Tsukishiro Liu's earlier actions. The latter was about to say something but heard Wise on the side say, "Soukaku is right. Liu has been working so hard for so long. She should be taken care of properly."
Under the repeated requests of the two, Liu could only helplessly accept eating lunch in bed. This was the first time for such a thing, especially on someone else's bed. You have to know, with her usual personality, if she had no time to eat, she would either not eat or eat a few red bean buns on the road to fill her stomach.
In fact, Liu had already recovered quite a bit now. But as mentioned before, relying on others once in a while is not a bad thing, right?
A short while later, Wise brought the prepared food and sat down by the bed. He then very skillfully scooped up a little with a spoon and handed it to Liu's mouth. The latter obviously hadn't expected this kind of development and was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
And the same went for Wise. Realizing something was wrong, he hurriedly apologized. "Sorry. It's because when Belle was not feeling well before, I was also like this. I didn't react for a moment."
Just then, Soukaku ran up. Seeing this scene, her eyes instantly lit up. "Is big brother Wise taking care of Sister Liu? Big brother Wise is so nice! When he was downstairs just now, he even asked me what Sister Liu likes to eat. He's so considerate, just like when Sister Liu used to take care of me!"
Soukaku spoke on her own. But after a while, seeing the two's actions were still at a stalemate, she asked with some confusion, "Doesn't Sister Liu want to eat? That's not okay! You taught me before that you can't be a picky eater when you're sick, and you can't disappoint others' kindness!"
Soukaku's tone was very serious. Hearing this, Tsukishiro Liu hesitated. With Liu's personality, she would definitely not easily accept being fed by others. But Wise was not an outsider, and besides, Soukaku was watching from the side. She should accept it to set a good example for Soukaku.
After quickly considering these things, Liu no longer hesitated. Her face flushed red as she slightly opened her small mouth. Wise, seeing this, was also very surprised. But things had already developed to this point...
So he gently inserted the spoon into Liu's mouth. The latter's soft lips pressed against the smooth porcelain spoon, wrapping the mouthful of food into her mouth. In an instant, the fresh and fragrant taste filled her taste buds. Tsukishiro Liu's eyes couldn't help but widen slightly. Because it was always Soukaku who came here for a free meal, she had never tasted Wise's cooking. The few times she had, it happened to be Aurelia and Odette who were cooking. Now, after trying it for the first time, she couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Is Wise's cooking really that good? Right. No wonder Soukaku likes him so much. To have such cooking skills, it must have taken a lot of effort. Before, she had thought that the gap between her and Wise's cooking skills shouldn't be much. But now, after trying it herself, she had a different idea.
She usually had to be busy with work and definitely couldn't spare enough time to practice. It was obviously impossible to reach this level. But seeing Soukaku like Wise so much, it couldn't help but arouse her competitive spirit as the former's older sister. She would not allow Soukaku to be so easily taken away by someone else. But she couldn't compete in terms of cooking. Then what should she do? Mmm...
As Tsukishiro Liu was thinking, Wise once again handed the spoon to her mouth. At this time, Soukaku was no longer in the room. She had just been worried, so she had come up to check on the situation. Seeing that everything was fine, she had naturally gone down to continue eating now.
Now that there was no reason to set an example, Liu should have politely refused and then eaten by herself. But her body had already reacted first. Her small mouth opened slightly, and Wise once again sent it into Liu's mouth. Of course, for now, it could only be the spoon and the food.
The silent atmosphere between the two made them both feel a little awkward, so Wise took the initiative to start a topic. "Liu is always so gentle with Soukaku."
"Mhm, yes. Because of some things in the past, I've always treated her as a real sister. And in fact, it might not be wrong to say she is a real sister. And I also hope that my gentleness can prevent her from recalling her past traumatic experiences... ah, I'm sorry." After talking about Soukaku, Liu said a lot on her own. Wise listened very seriously, but she seemed to feel it was a bit inappropriate.
"Why are you apologizing?" Wise was a little confused. Is it that those things about Soukaku are not convenient to tell him? he thought in his heart. But the result was not like that.
"Asaba often says he [hates it the most when I talk like a psychotherapist]. Will you hate it?" Liu asked carefully, her expression also a little worried and unnatural.
"I don't hate it, because it's Liu!"
