Chapter 317 Sonoko's Great Victory
Not long ago, Sonoko Suzuki, who deeply believed in the idea that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, chose to become an apprentice of a highly renowned French culinary teacher who had recently published a bestselling cookbook.
Although this teacher was very strict, she was indeed very capable. Through her perseverance, she finally received her first praise in the previous class.
So, on the one hand, she wanted Akutagawa Hiko to taste the dishes she made and show off the results of her studies over this period of time, and on the other hand, she also wanted to receive his encouragement and praise.
From Sonoko Suzuki, Hiko Akutagawa learned the name of the French culinary teacher—Yoshitomo Uemori.
An extremely rare and unlucky individual who did not die at the crime scene but collapsed in the hospital.
Akutagawa Hiko remained silent for a while before asking a question he was particularly interested in. Sure enough, he learned that Sonoko had already invited Ran, and if nothing unexpected happened, there would definitely be a little tail following behind.
"It's settled then. I'll come find you tomorrow at 6 PM, and then we'll go to Mr. Uemori's house in Beika-cho together."
Akutagawa Hiko patted the dog's head that had come over. He hadn't seen Tangbing for a while and it was almost like a stray dog. In contrast, Xiaolongbao, who should have been even less likely to be at home, preferred to stay at home.
As for Bourbon, he always followed Tangbing on his adventures in the wild, occasionally helping Akutagawa Hiko find people, since a home is still too small for a bird that can soar through the sky.
While Akutagawa was preparing, Suzuki Sonoko was not idle either. She took out her notes and prepared to review them again.
After all, she invited them to taste her French cuisine. What if she gets nervous, careless, or forgets a step, and fails to present the perfect dish?
Even worse, what if you get a humiliating scolding from Ms. Uemori and still can't cook a delicious meal? Wouldn't that be a complete disaster?
Inviting her best friend Ran Mouri was to ease her tension and have someone else share the burden, so that the teacher would pay less attention to her.
The next day, Akutagawa Hiko saw Suzuki Sonoko, who had dressed up carefully, through the peephole.
but----
Akutagawa Hiko wasn't disgusted, he was just a little curious as to why Sonoko was so insistent on wearing a headband, but he politely didn't ask and simply handed her a helmet.
-
"Take off your headband, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear a helmet."
Sonoko Suzuki guessed today's mode of transportation and thought of those romantic scenes in TV dramas. Her face flushed as she nodded.
As she straddled Akutagawa Hiko's back, wrapping her arms around his lean waist, Sonoko Suzuki asked, almost as if possessed, "Am I the first person to sit on your back?"
Akutagawa Hikoya, feeling a bit mischievous, said, "Of course not?"
"—?!"
"The first one was Conan."
When she felt the vibrations in Akutagawa Hikaru's chest and his unrestrained, hearty laughter, Sonoko Suzuki felt her cheeks burning.
"Okay, okay, let's hurry up and leave. Ms. Uemori is very strict; we'll get scolded if we're late."
Akutagawa Hiko put on his helmet and grabbed Suzuki Sonoko's hand, which was loosening its grip and trying to pull away: "Hold on tight, let's go!"
Sonoko Suzuki nervously wrapped her arms around Hiko Akutagawa, pressing half of her body against him. Besides the whistling wind, she could hear his steady, powerful heartbeat, which gave her a sense of security.
This was something she had never experienced before, which filled Sonoko Suzuki with a secret joy.
Acupido Town, Kamimori House.
Hiko Akutagawa and Sonoko Suzuki sped through the streets, even performing a brief stunt ride, their excited screams still seeming to echo in our ears.
However, the happy time was always short-lived. After Professor Agasa's extensive modifications, the motorcycle's performance was so excellent that it was almost unbelievable. Combined with Akutagawa's riding skills, the two quickly arrived at their destination.
Akutagawa Hiko removed Suzuki Sonoko's helmet, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Sonoko Suzuki looked very different from usual. Because the helmet was not breathable and she had been speeding all the way, her face was flushed with a thin layer of red, and a few strands of chestnut hair were stuck to her forehead, which was usually exposed.
Her dark green eyes stared at him without blinking, her face displaying a genuine and undisguised smile. Seeing that he was looking at her, she pursed her moist lips.
"Is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?"
-
Sonoko Suzuki tossed her hair back and put the familiar headband back on, transforming herself back into the more familiar person she was.
Akutagawa Hiko smiled and said, "It's nothing, I guess I'm just attracted to you."
The bluntness of his words startled Sonoko Suzuki, and Akutagawa took the opportunity to take out his phone and snap a picture of her. Sonoko without her headband was certainly beautiful, but this more familiar version of Sonoko was equally charming in his eyes.
After much deliberation, Sonoko Suzuki, who was caught up in a lot of anxiety by a single sentence, came to the conclusion that her strategy had likely already begun to take effect and had made a significant step forward.
Thinking of this, Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt as if fireworks were rising into the sky from her inner world, the brilliant colors forming several large characters in the air—He has feelings for me, between a man and a woman!
"Snap out of it!"
Seeing Sonoko Suzuki's behavior, Hiko Akutagawa felt a surge of excitement in his heart. This feeling of being wholeheartedly loved was incredibly attractive to him, making him want to take the initiative to take things further.
But there's no rush.
"Ran said she and Conan would arrive soon, let's go inside."
Suppressing her excitement, Sonoko Suzuki practically skipped and hopped as she walked side-by-side with Hiko Akutagawa into the yard.
At the same time, her gaze followed the large, well-defined hand beside Akutagawa Hiko that swayed with his steps, and she resolved that one day she would rightfully hold its hand.
Akutagawa Hiko naturally noticed the intense gaze, but he didn't care. Let him look if he wants, as long as he doesn't get tired of it later.
The two changed into disposable slippers handed to them by Michiko Komiyama, Michiko's assistant, in the entryway.
"Welcome, Sonoko. And this must be Mr. Ahiko Akutagawa, whom Sonoko often mentions. Please come in."
There are currently two people in the cooking class, but Sonoko Suzuki also seems unfamiliar with the woman sitting there who looks to be in her fifties.
Yuko Komiyama noticed the situation and introduced the two people to each other: "This is Kazue Yashiro, a classmate of yours in high school. She will be learning to cook with us today."
Next, she introduced Akutagawa Hiko and Sonoko. After exchanging greetings, Sonoko pulled Akutagawa Hiko aside and began to show him the cooking classroom.
