Ding dong…
The crisp sound of the doorbell rang out. Yang Tao stood at Kayako's doorstep, and soon footsteps echoed from inside the house.
"Coming, please wait a moment."
The door didn't open directly. Kayako's somewhat cautious voice came from behind the door: "Who is it, please?"
"It's me, Yang Tao."
With a click, the door opened, revealing Kayako's slightly surprised expression: "Mr. Yang, why have you come?"
Yang Tao smiled warmly and said, "Suddenly, I thought of the breakfast my wife made. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to make me a portion?"
"Ah? But... it's almost noon now."
"It's alright, as long as you consider it breakfast, it's fine. Is Mr. Saeki not home?"
"No..."
"That's perfect."
Kayako was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed... What do you mean by that? What do you mean it's perfect that my man isn't home?
For a moment, a brainstorm erupted in Kayako's mind.
"Madam, you wouldn't even refuse to let me in, would you?"
"Oh! I'm so sorry, Mr. Yang, please..."
Kayako quickly stepped aside to let Yang Tao into the house, then somewhat flustered, poured Yang Tao a cup of tea.
"Um... Mr. Yang, do you have any specific requests for that breakfast?"
"None, anything Kayako makes is fine. Don't worry, I'll pay you this time too. I guarantee it'll be a memorable payment for you, wife."
As he spoke, Yang Tao sat down in Kayako's living room, observing the environment of her home. Compared to his last visit, there were some new appliances in the living room, which clearly indicated that Mr. Saeki's luck had truly turned for the better during this period.
Hearing Yang Tao emphasize the words 'payment', Kayako's mind began to wander again, perhaps thinking of some special scenario, and the blush that hadn't faded from her face deepened.
"Then... please wait a moment. I'll go make you something to eat now."
With that, the still young Kayako scurried into the kitchen as if escaping.
Yang Tao sat on the sofa, gently tapping the armrest, making a thumping sound. Soon, the sound of cooking came from the kitchen.
'Right, I should remind Kayako not to make it too complicated. After all, it's a wife's breakfast, not a wife's dinner.'
Getting up, he followed the sound into the kitchen and saw Kayako, with her long black hair, wearing home clothes and an apron, standing in front of the frying pan, concentrating on making a fried egg.
'What's with this scene that's overflowing with a 'wife' vibe?'
In an instant, the devil in Yang Tao's heart leaped out. He tiptoed behind Kayako, then in a magnetic, deep voice, whispered in her ear: "Madam, you truly are a feast for the eyes..."
The warm breath startled Kayako, and her body went limp. Just as she was about to fall, a warm hand wrapped around her waist, and her body pressed against a strong chest.
Before she could recover, Yang Tao's voice came again: "Madam, you must be careful when cooking, otherwise you can easily get hurt..."
Before she could regain her senses, the warm hand and firm chest had already vanished.
"Madam, just make something simple. I have a surprise for you later..."
"Mmm~"
Kayako's face was so red it looked like it was about to drip blood. She lightly bit her lower lip and softly hummed in response.
Then she heard Yang Tao's footsteps departing.
A moment later, Kayako, having adjusted her mindset, emerged from the kitchen with a very simple breakfast.
A piece of fried meat, a fried egg, two slices of bread, and a glass of milk.
Yang Tao looked at the Western-style breakfast on the table, wondering if the system would recognize it.
He reached out and put it into his backpack.
[Wife's Breakfast]
'It actually counts...'
"Mr. Yang, if you're not satisfied, I can..."
Kayako was just about to say that she could go buy more ingredients and make what Yang Tao liked, but in the blink of an eye, the food on the table disappeared, even the plate was gone.
"No need, I'm very satisfied."
With another new food item in hand, Yang Tao nodded contentedly. Next up was pipi daifuku.
He patted the spot beside him, a playful smile on his face, and stared at the rather pretty Kayako, saying, "Madam, come sit here. I have a gift for you, a gift I guarantee you'll be satisfied with..."
"Mr. Yang... I..."
"It's alright."
Yang Tao got up, put his hand on Kayako's shoulder, and pressed her down onto the sofa. He looked down at Kayako, who dared not meet his gaze, and said, "You seem very nervous! Let me help you relieve some of that tension."
Then, with a gentle push, he made Kayako lean back on the sofa. Kayako couldn't help but let out a soft gasp, then covered her mouth with her hand, looking at Yang Tao with complex eyes. For a moment, it was impossible to discern the emotions in her eyes.
"Madam, relax... Just leave the rest to me."
With that, Yang Tao reached for Kayako's collar. Kayako closed her eyes as if resigned to her fate.
What was meant to happen would happen.
Suddenly, she felt something cold slip down her collar and into her clothes.
She instinctively opened her eyes.
Then, she and Yang Tao watched a golden object, about the size of a baby's fist, slide in through her collar, then out from under her skirt, finally landing on the floor with a thud.
The atmosphere solidified for three seconds.
Yang Tao suddenly laughed: "Madam, Toshio must have had it rough. No wonder you and Mr. Saeki didn't want a second child! Not being able to eat enough is also a problem..."
Kayako immediately crossed her arms over her chest. She felt she had been insulted by Yang Tao, and it was more painful than a physical insult. Her face flushed with anger as she said:
"Mr. Yang!!!"
Yang Tao chuckled and said, "Madam, that thing just now was pure gold. It's a gift from me. I originally thought it would get stuck... Tsk tsk, it's true that you know a person's face but you really don't know how flat..."
Hearing his words, Kayako looked at the baby's fist-sized piece of gold on the floor and suddenly felt that her own flat attributes were truly too unworthy of Mr. Yang.
"W-would you like to try again? This time, it will definitely get stuck..."
...
A moment later, Yang Tao, having lost two gold nuggets, left Kayako's house. Standing at the doorway, he waved goodbye to the excited Kayako and said, "Thank you for your hospitality, wife. I am very satisfied."
"I'll be going now. I'll visit again when I have time."
As soon as he turned around, he saw several figures standing outside Kayako's courtyard.
Miko, Elisa, Hana, Yulia, and Yayoi Hozuki with her skull pupils...
All of their gazes were fixed on him.
This scene instantly froze the smile on Yang Tao's face. He asked somewhat guiltily, "If I told you I just came to Kayako's house to order breakfast, would you believe me?"
Miko, Elisa, and Hana shook their heads in unison.
And Yayoi Hozuki, holding a rabbit in her arms, looked up at the sun hanging directly in the middle of the sky, and uttered two words: "Pervert!"
