Chapter 612 612: A Big Supermarket Shopping Trip

Yukino had actually looked up and studied proper techniques for head massages, so when she massaged Ichin's head, it felt extremely comfortable. Within just a few minutes, Ichin had completely relaxed.

After relaxing for about ten minutes, Ichin gently held Yukino's hands and sat up.

"Alright, break's over. I should get back to work. Thanks for your hard work."

He hugged Yukino and gave her a quick kiss before returning to his chair, full of energy again, and resumed working.

Yukino watched him with a smile for a while before asking, "What do you want for dinner tonight? Later we have to pick up Utaha and go buy groceries."

"Dinner, huh?"

Ichin thought for a moment, typed another line on the keyboard, and said, "I actually do have something in mind. I want ribs. Yukino, what about you?"

"I'm fine with anything. If it's ribs, should we make sweet and sour ribs, or soup?"

"Sweet and sour."

Ichin stretched his hands and said, "I'll hurry up and finish what I'm working on. Then we can pick up Utaha and go buy groceries."

Yukino nodded and decided to spend the remaining hour or so reading more.

At four-thirty in the afternoon, Ichin and Yukino left the company, picked up Utaha, and headed together to a large supermarket near their new villa.

They had been away for a week. Although Umiko and Nene had stayed at the house to take care of the cats, it was impossible for any fresh ingredients to remain at home. Only some snacks were left.

So today's trip to the supermarket was for a serious shopping spree.

Ichin was responsible for buying the ingredients, while Utaha and Yukino pushed another shopping cart toward the snack section. They had a lot more categories to buy, including snacks, fruit, drinks, and the most essential item for summer: ice cream.

Compared with the other items, snacks actually made up the smallest portion. Fruit took up the largest share, followed by ice cream and drinks.

After finishing with the snacks, the two of them headed straight to the fruit section.

Looking at the fruit selection, Utaha immediately showed a regretful expression.

"With these prices and this variety, I almost feel like suggesting to Ichin that we move to China permanently."

As long as you didn't buy the so-called "premium" or "special grade" fruits, the prices weren't outrageously expensive. But compared to China, the variety really was limited.

Yukino nodded in agreement.

"I've had the same thought. But it's not very realistic. It's better if we just travel back and forth more often."

After looking around, they bought apples, watermelon, and Hami melons. They also found lychees imported from China. Those were really expensive, but since they loved them so much, Utaha and Yukino still bought some.

Just as the two were choosing ice cream, Ichin finished buying vegetables and pushed a half-filled cart over to the ice cream section.

Looking at their shopping cart, which was nearly stuffed full, especially with fruit, Ichin laughed.

"That's a lot. Don't let it go to waste."

A big bag of apples, a big bag of lychees, two watermelons, and two Hami melons. The amount was definitely substantial.

Utaha picked up a box of ice cream and said, "Don't worry. It's just fruit. We'll definitely finish it. And it's not just the two of us. Haruno will eat some too. Ichin, you should eat more as well. In summer you need to replenish fluids. We'll buy drinks too, but we should still drink less of them."

"Alright, alright. You two decide."

Nodding, Ichin joined them in choosing ice cream. He even called Haruno to ask what flavor she wanted.

In the end, they bought quite a lot of ice cream too.

When they finished shopping and returned home, the car's trunk was completely packed. They even had to use a seat in the back to store some of the items.

Once they got home, it was time to prepare dinner.

Last week Yukino had been on her period, and in another day or two it would be Utaha's turn. So Ichin didn't let Utaha do any of the work and took over the entire dinner preparation himself.

He was about to cut a watermelon and put it in the fridge when he remembered Utaha's situation. In the end, he decided not to cut it yet. They would eat it after dinner, refrigerate half, and let Utaha eat the portion at room temperature.

"Hmm, in that case, Utaha can't eat ice cream for the next few days either. What bad timing."

Shaking his head with a smile, Ichin took out the ribs they had just bought and started preparing them.

As expected, Haruno had to work overtime today and wouldn't be back until after eight o'clock, so they only needed to leave a portion of dinner for her.

After the three of them finished dinner, Ichin was urged by Utaha to go cut the watermelon.

Since the watermelon they bought was very large and couldn't really be eaten by each person holding half and scooping it out, Ichin did what he usually did and cut it into small pieces, putting them into bowls so each person had their own portion.

When Utaha received her bowl of watermelon, she predictably looked disappointed.

"I knew it. Ichin wouldn't chill the watermelon."

"You can forget about that for the next few days." Ichin smiled and pinched Utaha's cheek. "Just eat it at room temperature. And Yukino too. Your body just recovered, so you shouldn't eat cold food right away. Also, the ice cream in the fridge is forbidden for both of you for the next few days. Yukino might be allowed again in a few days depending on how things go. As for you, Utaha, you'll have to wait until your period is completely over. Got it?"

Yukino was always very obedient about these things, so she had no objections. Utaha, on the other hand, puffed up her cheeks with a gloomy expression.

"Not fair. Why don't boys get periods?"

"I can't answer that," Ichin said with a laugh. "I'm not an expert on that topic. But don't worry, I'll take good care of you both. Alright, let's eat the watermelon."

Utaha leaned against Ichin's shoulder gloomily and picked up a piece of watermelon, putting it in her mouth.

Fortunately, the watermelon was very sweet, which made up a little for the disappointment of not having it chilled.

They leisurely ate watermelon while watching TV. Ichin had already finished all his work at the company today, so he didn't need to work overtime tonight. The proposal for Bloodborne was almost finished anyway. Missing one evening wouldn't matter.

By eight o'clock, Haruno still hadn't returned. It wasn't until eight-fifty, nearly nine at night, that the sound of a car engine came from outside.

Soon the door opened, and Haruno walked in wearing her office outfit, her voice tired.

"I'm back~~~"

"Welcome back, Haruno," Ichin said with a smile as he stood up. "Go change your clothes first. Your dinner's been kept warm. And there's chilled watermelon too."

Haruno nodded, but she was clearly exhausted. She slowly headed upstairs.

Ichin took out the dishes that had been kept warm. After waiting nearly ten minutes, Haruno finally came downstairs after changing clothes and removing her makeup.

"I'm starving, I'm starving. Time to eat!"
