Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 175

As he spoke, he suddenly looked up and thought for a moment, with a suspicious expression.

"Imagine, years from now, when I have no idea what my favorite celebrities are up to, and new celebrities come out that I don't recognize either, I'll feel like I'm living a life different from everyone else. That feeling is pretty cool."

Uesugi Reika laughed when she heard that.

"What's the big deal? You don't live in their circle. If you did, you would need to be aware of their thoughts and feelings all the time. But you're not. So there's no need to pay attention to their activities. Just let go of all that and spend more time on yourself."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi nodded.

He lowered his head and continued with his work.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Seeing Kenichi Uesugi, Reika Uesugi walked over and asked.

How many do you want to make?

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi replied.

"Not necessarily. I'll make as much as I can. Anyway, if I can't finish it, I'll put it in the refrigerator. I really enjoy storing things now."

Uesugi Reika listened and agreed.

She nodded and agreed.

"Ah."

Uesugi Reika asked again.

"Do you want Mom to help you?"

However, Uesugi Kenichi refused upon hearing this.

"No need, Mom, you go ahead with your work. I'll do it myself. Today, I just wanted to cook something myself, that's why I did this."

Seeing this, Uesugi Reika compromised.

"Ok."

Then, Uesugi Reika left without saying anything more.

In the kitchen, Kenichi Uesugi remained busy.

He is very satisfied with the status quo and feels that his current situation is really good, which makes him feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart.

Kenichi Uesugi was quietly busy with his work.

He remembered that he had once had the idea of ​​opening a restaurant, but before that, Uesugi Kenichi felt that he could practice his cooking skills.

After all, his cooking skills aren't exactly top-notch.

It took Uesugi Kenichi several hours and a long time to finally finish making it. He then took some of it and placed it on the dining table to eat.

But I know there's some left that we definitely won't be able to finish.

So he stored it in the refrigerator, so he could eat it whenever he wanted.

Just then, Uesugi Reika came downstairs while Uesugi Kenichi was eating at the table.

Upon seeing Kenichi Uesugi, Reika Uesugi smiled.

"Qianyi, are you done?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi looked at his mother happily and responded.

"Okay, Mom, I've finished cooking. Would you like some?"

Reika Uesugi nodded.

"Okay."

When they arrived at the dining table, Uesugi Reika sat down. She took a bite, and Uesugi Kenichi watched, feeling very nervous. He asked her a question.

"Mom, how's it going?"

Therefore, Uesugi Reika looked at Uesugi Kenichi, speechless.

"Qianyi, do you really want Mom to tell the truth?"

Upon hearing her say that, Uesugi Kenichi felt a pang of unease and replied.

"Well, to be honest."

Uesugi Reika then said.

"Honestly, it tastes terrible. Mom thought you would at least reach my level, but it seems you can't at all. Qianyi, it really tastes awful."

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi was a little depressed.

He also felt that sometimes he overestimated himself, thinking he could make delicious food, but the results were disappointing.

Chapter 307 The only way to go

After class, Kenichi Uesugi would attend classes diligently, and he persisted in this way for a whole semester, four months.

The final exams, then a leave of absence, waiting for the next semester.

However, next semester, Kenichi Uesugi will be a second-year high school student, and right now, he's at home with nothing to do.

He was in a good mood, busy in the kitchen with his mother.

The main purpose is to salt some meat and store it in the refrigerator.

Mom was busy there, talking as she worked.

"Qianyi, I never thought your first year of high school would end like this. Time really does fly by, day by day, and then it just passes by like that."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi stirred the meat with his chopsticks.

The main problem is that the salt is too salty.

If you pickle the meat by hand, your hands will easily become dehydrated, so chopsticks are more suitable.

When Uesugi Kenichi heard his mother's words, he answered.

"Yes, I didn't expect my first year of high school to be over so quickly. But I'm doing great now. I really enjoy this kind of life. Winter break is coming, so let me have a good rest."

Uesugi Reika thought that the winter vacation was two months long.

She asked.

"Qianyi, what are your plans for this winter break?"

Upon seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi thought for a moment, and then he answered.

"No, to be honest, every day I'm either playing, reviewing my lessons, or doing other things. That's all I can do. I don't want to add anything else."

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Reika nodded.

She said with satisfaction.

“You’re only a first-year high school student. To be honest, you’re doing just fine as you are. I don’t expect you to do anything. Your current situation is already quite good.”

Upon seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi smiled.

He glanced at his mother, then looked back at her. Uesugi Kenichi looked at the meat again, stirring it as he spoke.

"But Mom, does this meat really have to be marinated like this?"

Reika Uesugi glanced over and explained.

"This way of marinating the meat will extend its shelf life; otherwise, it will spoil easily even if you put it in the refrigerator."

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi said nothing.

After helping his mother, he finally had some free time. Uesugi Kenichi lay on the bed, quietly staring at the ceiling.

Finally, the long holiday arrived; it was a rare long holiday for him.

Unexpectedly, Ram and Rem walked in at this moment. After seeing Uesugi Kenichi, Ram came over and said...

"Qianyi, do you have any plans for this long holiday? Should we do what we did last time and go out to do a live broadcast to see what fun things there are to do?"

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenji looked over.

Looking at Ram, Uesugi Kenichi remained calm, seemingly uninterested, and said to Ram in a sullen tone.

"Forget it, I don't want to go. I don't want to do anything right now. I just want to stay home and be quiet."

Kenichi Uesugi turned his gaze away and stared quietly at the ceiling.

Ram was speechless when he heard this.

She sighed, pulled up a stool and sat down. She looked at Uesugi Kenichi without saying a word.

Uesugi Kenichi ignored her.

At this moment, Uesugi Kenichi was staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.

The long holiday lasts for two months.

He had to make the most of his time, but Uesugi Kenichi didn't know what to do.

In fact, his daily schedule is very full.

Uesugi Kenji looked over and asked Ram.

"Ramu, are you still streaming?"

When Uesugi Kenichi suddenly brought this up, Ram was taken aback. She realized what he meant and answered.

"I do live stream, but I don't do it as often as before. Maybe I've gotten tired of it. I don't know how to explain it, but I just don't feel like doing live streams anymore."

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi was very satisfied.

he said.

“I also think you shouldn’t do live streaming. It’s not fun at all. I used to be enthusiastic about it, but now I’m planning to give it up completely.”

Kenichi Uesugi looked away.

He smiled, perhaps reflecting on his own emotional journey.

"However, it's still quite interesting. I used to really enjoy live streaming, but now I don't like it at all. This emotional journey is something that happens to people every now and then."

Seeing this, Ram looked at him without saying a word.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at her again.
