Senju Hashirama was sleeping, and he could vaguely smell the fragrance of rice...

“zzzzz……!!!”

He slowly opened his eyes and realized that this was not an illusion.

The kitchen is a bit far away from here, and normally you can't smell it. But firstly, a man's nasal congestion is not particularly serious and his sense of smell is always sensitive. Secondly, a little girl thinks she's just cooking porridge and doesn't deliberately turn on the machine to disperse the smell, because

She herself quite likes the smell of rice.

Coincidentally, Senju Hashirama also likes it very much. He likes rice more than noodles, and he has always thought that rice is indeed a very interesting food, because no matter how much you eat for a long time, you will never get tired of it at all, and it tastes good with anything.

How long have I been sleeping...

With such thoughts in mind, Senju Hashirama picked up his cell phone from the bedside table and looked at the time. He found that he fell asleep for about an hour after taking the medicine. No wonder the porridge he was cooking was already so fragrant.

It was Hoshi-chan who cooked the porridge for him~

Just thinking about it like this makes me want to laugh.

Then, he wanted to see the person who was helping him cook porridge even more immediately.

So Senju Hashirama, who always did what he wanted to do, immediately lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and walked quickly towards the kitchen with a slight stagger.

Not long after...

He walked to the kitchen door, raised a hand and pressed it on the door frame, looking at the little girl wearing an apron inside who was whisking eggs. She was wearing the blue apron that Tobirama always wore when cooking (the color suited her very well)

, but a pink apron may be more suitable for it - this idea is very similar to his "spiritual friend" Uchiha Madara), and the straps on the back are tied in the style of a bow, which can be said to be cute.

Senju Hashirama has never felt that his future partner must cook for him, because it depends on everyone's hobbies and moods, but... in terms of human nature, watching the person you love wash their hands and make soup for them

Soup is truly a wonderful thing.

For example, at this moment, the little girl he liked was wearing a blue apron, lowering her head and carefully stirring the egg liquid in her hands. As she moved, her high ponytail swayed slightly and swept over her slender and beautiful back neck.

On the chopping board next to it, there is a small pile of finely chopped green onions. Everything smells like home.

In a daze, I even felt that the person in front of me had already married myself...

Uchiha took off the lid of the casserole for porridge, carefully poured the egg liquid down, then sprinkled the chopped green onions, then closed the lid and breathed a sigh of relief - um! Cook it for a while and then you can serve it.

Give it to Brother Hashirama! The porridge was cooked very soft and rotten, and the water was not boiled. It seems that it did not overturn.

With such thoughts in mind, she turned to pack up and clean the items she had just used, when out of the corner of her eye she saw...

"...Boss?" She turned around with surprise on her face and looked at the man who was leaning on the door frame with his arms folded and looking at her with a smile. She subconsciously asked, "Why don't you just lie down on the bed and come here?"

do what?"

"Because I smell the aroma of rice." Senju Hashirama answered honestly.

"...Are you hungry?" She said as she walked over, "It will be cooked soon. So -" Uchiha stood still, stretched out his hands to "turn over" the man in front of him, and pushed him

His back said, "Go back quickly! I'll bring it to you right away! Go back and lie down properly!" Really, if you don't lie down and rest properly when you are sick, does this person want to go to heaven?!

"I feel a lot more comfortable. It's okay to stand for a while..." Senju Hashirama tried to struggle - mainly because the way the little boy was cooking for him was so cute that he wanted to keep watching and regretted it.

I don’t have a video recording tool at hand, otherwise I would be able to record it and relive it from time to time.

"Are you going back?!" Uchiha raised his voice.

"...Let's go back now." Senju Hashirama lowered his head weakly and took a few steps forward. He couldn't help but turn back and said, "Then, I'll wait for you in the room, Hoshi-chan, come see me early."

"...I know." Uchiha wanted to put the belt on his forehead. What does it feel like to face a big dog that reluctantly swung its tail? It must be because Brother Hashirama's eyes are a little "moist" at this moment.

It means "dog eyes". Moreover, this person's clinginess factor has indeed increased a lot after he fell ill...but he is not annoying at all, or in other words, he is quite cute.

And when she returned to the bedroom carrying the tray, she saw a certain "humanoid golden retriever" holding the edge of the quilt with both hands, looking at the door without blinking. His eyes lit up the moment he saw her.

Not an exaggeration.

"Xingjiang~ You're here~" The big golden retriever swung his tail wildly.

"...Pfft." Uchiha couldn't help laughing.

"why are you laughing?"

"No, it's nothing." Uchiha sat down next to the bed and put the tray in his hand on the bedside table that had been packed beforehand. Then, he leaned over and helped the person who sat up to straighten the quilt a little. By the way, he put the pillow upright.

She stood up and used it as a backrest for him. It wasn't until he sat down that he put the tray on his lap and asked with some uneasiness, "Does it feel hot?"

"No." Senju Hashirama replied with a smile - there is a tray under the casserole, and there is a quilt under the tray, how could it be hot? But, Hoshi-chan said this because he cares about him~

"That's good."

"I'm starting~" Senju Hashirama said with his hands clasped together almost impatiently, and then picked up the spoon on the tray.

"I'll do it." Uchiha Zizi was afraid that the person on the bed would be burned, so he stretched out his hand to help him open the lid of the casserole.

"Thank you Hoshi-chan." Senju Hashirama narrowed his eyes subconsciously, because the moment he opened the lid, hot mist and alluring fragrance hit his face, and what he saw next was white porridge covered with eggs and green onions. It was indeed delicious.

There is nothing wrong with simple dishes, but who says that simple food can't make people want to eat it? Not to mention, the person who made it is his most beloved woman.

"Boss, please try it. I've only tasted the porridge part, and there's nothing wrong with it. I think it won't taste unpalatable if I add eggs and green onions..." Uchiha said with some anxiety.

Senju Hashirama scooped up a spoonful of porridge with eggs and chopped green onions, brought it to his mouth and blew it a few times, then stuffed it into his mouth with satisfaction and nodded desperately: "Yeah, it's delicious~"

"...You haven't even swallowed it yet." Ochiha Uchiha couldn't help but complain, but no matter what, it's a good thing to be "appreciated" for your cooking skills. Moreover, looking at the expression on Hashirama's brother's face, he was indeed not upset.

So she was completely relieved, sitting aside and smiling while watching the other person eat porridge.

Senju Hashirama's appetite has always been very good. The current illness has not affected him at all, but it is not too big, so he eats deliciously. By the way, he said: "Hoshi-chan, you won't bring me breakfast in the morning from now on."

It’s totally okay to cook porridge for me~” Hey, hey, he was originally thinking, “I will have no regrets in my life if I can eat the porridge made by Hoshi-chan for the last time.” But now he said this, he is really a

What a greedy man.

However, this level of greed can be forgiven, right?

"...It's not impossible." Uchiha Obi blinked, "It's very simple anyway, but just drinking porridge is also very monotonous. You can buy some side dishes along the way, such as...fried dumplings?"

“Main food with main food?”

"No?"

"No, this is the romance of a jobber!" Senju Hashirama gave a thumbs up, expressing strong agreement.

"Right~" Uchiha replied in a good mood, and then suddenly remembered something, "Ah... By the way, boss."

"Um?"

"When you just fell asleep, your brother called...and then, I accidentally answered the phone..."

"...Huh?" Senju Hashirama suddenly started eating and looked at the person beside the bed with surprise on his face - right? Which brother? It can't be Tobirama...

This sight directly made the latter feel uneasy.

Uchiha was suddenly a little nervous. He pursed his lips and thanked her, saying, "Hug, I'm sorry, I can swear, I definitely didn't mean it. I..." As she said this, she wanted to stand up and bow or simply get down.

"Ah, ah, it's okay..." Senju Hashirama quickly pressed the tray with one hand and stretched out his other hand to hold the person, "Hoshi-chan, don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you, I'm just a little surprised." He looked at the other person.

Still looking guilty, he quickly drank up the porridge in the casserole, wiped his mouth casually, and put the tray on the bedside table. After doing all this, he moved his body slightly and faced a certain person.

The little girl grabbed her hand on her knee with both hands, wrapped her hands with palms facing each other, and said in a gentle and comforting tone, "Xing-chan, I know you didn't mean it, don't be sad.

, okay?"

"...Hmm." Uchiha blinked in surprise, then nodded slowly, "Okay, boss..."

"That's right." Senju Hashirama saw that she seemed to be trying to pull her hand away, so he asked, "Which brother of mine is it that called me? Is there a call reminder?"

As expected, Uchiha stopped twitching his hand and replied, "The call notification is 'Senju Itama'."

"It's Itama..." Senju Hashirama suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. If it's this stupid boy, then...ah, no! It's been so long. This boy must have gone to share it with Tobirama and the others, hiss.

, it’s troublesome.

Just at this moment...

Senju Hashirama's cell phone vibrated again.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other.

Uchiha withdrew his hand.

Senju Hashirama picked up the phone with regret, looked at the words "Senju Hashirama" on it, sighed slightly, and pressed the connect button: "Hello?"

"Brother, good morning."

"Well, good morning."

"Where are you now?"

"at home."

"Huh? Aren't you at work at this time?"

"Well, because I have a rare fever."

"Hey??? Can you get sick too?!"
