Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

Page 636

The most memorable thing was when I was washing dishes. Because my hands were slippery from the detergent, I not only failed to hold the bowl, but also slipped into Sayuri's palm and crossed my fingers with hers.

But that was an accident after all, and this time it was a real intimate contact, and it happened in full view of everyone.

"Mr. Xiao?"

Sayuri's gentle call brought Bai Ye's wandering thoughts back to his senses. When he came to his senses, he found that he had been holding Sayuri's hand for several seconds without moving.

"That won't do. My aunt will misunderstand me."

In a hurry, he found an excuse.

"I'm recalling my previous strength, aunt."

"Yeah." Sayuri didn't urge or struggle.

But this was just an excuse after all. Bai Ye quickly took a few melon seeds, held Sayuri's hand and crushed them gently.

Click——

The melon seed shell opened with a sound, and the melon seed kernel was intact.

Bai Yeji tried several more times with greater strength, and each time he succeeded in crushing the melon seed shells. Although one time the melon seed kernels were crushed in half, at least they were not crushed to pieces.

"Did Auntie feel it?"

"I feel it." Sayuri glanced back and nodded.

"Okay then."

Bai Ye loosened his hand. Pressing it again would inevitably cause misunderstanding. He turned to watch Sayuri's movements. Maybe she would need his guidance later.

The two of them did not hide anything, and all their actions were visible to everyone.

Although the two of them were almost leaning back to back with their palms touching, their posture was almost as intimate as a couple, but no one thought Bai Ye would do anything wrong, so they just glanced at him and did not take the opportunity to tease him.

However, there was one person who looked at Bai Ye and Sayuri with something wrong in his eyes.

That was Akane, the only one among everyone present who could read the deep meaning behind most of Sayuri's actions.

But she just watched quietly, without any intention of exposing Sayuri.

She was able to join Bai Ye's harem thanks to Sayuri's help, so how could she betray Sayuri?

"Look, Xiao Jun, I have mastered the strength."

Sayuri presented the whole melon kernel to Bai Ye, then picked up a melon seed and gently pinched it with two fingers, and the shell opened.

"I found that as long as I crack the shells open and rub them gently, I can easily remove the shells without having to worry about crushing the kernels."

"Auntie is so amazing."

Bai Ye raised his hand to touch her head, but suddenly remembered that Sayuri was not Shiyu and the others, so he had to give up in disappointment.

"Auntie, I'll prepare other things. Let me know when you're done."

"no problem."

Sayuri did not return to her original seat, but continued to sit next to Bai Ye.

The aroma of roasted melon seeds wafted in the wind, but Bai Ye's nostrils were filled with Sayuri's body fragrance, and he felt that the former was not as good as Sayuri's.

"I can't touch my aunt's hair, but I can smell it, right? I can't control my nose."

……

Sayuri was peeling melon seeds, Bai Ye was washing the pot, and the girls had finished roasting a whole bag of marshmallows and were washing their hands at the faucet.

"Xiaobai-kun, what are you planning to cook? You brought so much sugar and breadcrumbs."

Ying Lili is knowledgeable and can figure out some clues from the ingredients.

"Pumpkin seeds, raisins, walnuts...Bai Ye, are you planning to make fried rice cakes?"

"Bingo——!" Bai Ye snapped his fingers.

"Where's the rice?" Ying Lili spread her hands.

"It's too late. If I start frying rice now, it will take until tomorrow morning. So I want to use breadcrumbs instead of rice."

"What a weird idea! Is this possible?"

"I'm 70% confident, but if you keep eating the breadcrumbs, I'm 100% sure."

Yinglili "..."

After a few people came back, Bai Ye immediately set up the pot and moved his seat to Bingtang's side.

The reason was simple: Zhu Yin and Sayuri were whispering again, so Bai Ye didn't want to disturb them.

"Let's fry the breadcrumbs first. Hmm... By the way, are there any bricks or something here? I want to build a stove. It's so tiring to hold the pot all the time... We need to build a stove for our picnic tomorrow."

"Yes, the bricks are in the basement." Eriri pointed in the direction of the house.

"There's a basement here?!" Bingtang was shocked.

"Actually, it's the utility room. I remember there were bricks there. Who wants to come with me to get them?"

Just then, Sayuri spoke up to stop her.

"Don't go. The basement hasn't been ventilated for a year. Mom's worried it might be dangerous. If you go in, you have to ventilate it overnight."

There are news reports every year about people entering the cellar being poisoned due to incomplete ventilation. Bai Ye certainly would not let them take this risk.

"Then we'll build the stove tomorrow. I'll make do with the iron rack."

Asking Bingtang to help, Bai Ye added two pieces of charcoal under the iron rack and started his journey to prepare a midnight snack.

"Rock sugar, pour breadcrumbs."

"Okay!"

This was Bai Ye's first time frying breadcrumbs over charcoal fire with unstable temperature, but with his previous experience in roasting fire and barbecuing meat, he was able to handle it this time.

When the breadcrumbs turned from floury white to golden and crispy, Bai Ye quickly lifted the pot away from the charcoal fire.

"This fragrance... must be right, rock sugar, plates."

"Come on!"

After spreading the breadcrumbs evenly on a plate to cool, Bai Ye waved to Chu Hai to signal her to come over.

"What is it, Senior?"

"Please keep an eye on the bread crumbs for me. Be careful that the little golden retriever that comes out of the woods won't steal them."

"Yes, I got it!"

Chu Hai received the order, sat down in front of Ying Lili and stared at her without blinking.

Eriri probably understood what she meant, her eyes were speechless, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope.

"What are you doing?"

"Senior said, be careful of Eriri-senpai cheating!"

Yinglili "..."

white night"……"

The girl with golden twintails came silently behind Bai Ye, folded her hands, and also imitated the sea, staring at him straight.

Bai Ye held his forehead, feeling a sharp edge on his back.

"You little girl, Chu Hai... you are too honest..."

"Hehe~"

?????????

Chu Hai continued to perform his duties, sometimes staring at Eriri, sometimes turning to smile at Bai Ye.

Bai Ye pinched her slightly chubby face.

"Tell me, did you mention me by name on purpose? I didn't say Eriri's name. You have an angel face but a devil heart, little girl."

Chapter 946: Endless Desserts, Inescapable Fate

Sayuri gave the peeled melon seeds to Bai Ye, and threw the shells into the campfire, adding some fuel which was better than nothing.

"Xiao Jun, the melon seeds are ready."

"Thank you, auntie."

Bai Ye hurriedly thanked him, his mind too busy making sugar to concentrate.

When the syrup started to bubble, his eyes turned cold.

"Go out to sea, breadcrumbs!"

"To!"

"Rock sugar, walnut kernels!"

"coming!"

"Shiyu, raisins!"

"Here."

The three girls introduced the ingredients one by one according to Bai Ye's instructions. Sayuri couldn't help laughing when she saw them acting like slacking off students who put on a serious look to please their teacher.

"What are you all doing that makes you so happy?"

"I think it looks more like she's just laughing foolishly." Eriri, who was watching, folded her hands.

Shiyu heard their conversation, clapped her hands and walked towards them.

"Don't mention it. I feel like I'm just being silly. Why did Xiaobai choose to learn from me when there are so many other things to learn from?"

"Are you seriously complaining about your own hypocrisy?" Eriri glanced sideways.

Here, Bai Ye’s cooking is ready.

The golden and crispy breadcrumbs accompanied by melon seeds, walnuts and raisins have a sweet smell that makes people salivate.

"I say, what should we name this dish?"

"Since its predecessor was fried rice cakes, why not call it fried breadcrumb cakes?" Ying Lili blurted out.

"The name is so long and inconsistent..." Chu Hai pondered for a few seconds, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, "Why not call it Fried Bread?"

"What kind of a weird name is this..."

Just as the drawing duo was arguing about the name, Kato Megumi appeared at the right time, raising her little hand to attract their attention.

"Well, it's almost 11: now."

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Eriri was confused.

"Aren't we all night owls on weekends? It's okay to play late." Chuhai comforted.

Kato Megumi shook her head, indicating that the other party had not yet understood the deeper meaning of her words.

"Do we really have to eat dessert so late?"

The girls present all froze at the same time and couldn't help but touch their stomachs which were already slightly bulging from Bai Ye's feeding. Then they realized that something had been exposed, and immediately put their hands down and looked around, pretending to know nothing.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, with only the crackling of the burning bonfire and the whistling of the wind in the air.

Half a minute later, everyone suddenly remembered a truth:

When the sky falls, a tall man holds it up.

Eating desserts late at night will indeed make you fat, but who among the crowd is most likely to gain weight, who is most worried about their weight, and whose belly is the most noticeable?

After thinking it through, everyone looked at Shiyu.

Shiyu: “…”

She was so smart that she understood the meaning of everyone's eyes in an instant. She pointed at Bai Ye and said to everyone:

"If you don't eat it, believe it or not, Xiaobai will persuade you to eat it by saying 'dessert is in another stomach'."

"Isn't this a term girls use for themselves?" Zhu Yin was a little confused.

"Even if it's a girl eating alone, Xiaobaijun will still say, 'It's just for one night, it's okay, feel free to eat it.'"

Kato Megumi and Shiyu stood on Bai Ye's left and right, watching him cut the snacks into bite-sized pieces.
