26: Chapter 26 A Pleasant Daily LifeAfter making a promise with Luffy, Nojiko's excitement wore off, and she quickly realized what she had done.
A wave of shame washed over her again.After putting down her pinky promise, she looked at Wang Lufei in front of her, fidgeting back and forth, unsure of what to do.
Looking at the girl who had transformed into an eel in front of him, Wang Lufei sensed her unease.
So Wang Lufei stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, hooked his hand around her head, and buried her face against his chest, then gently stroked her head and said:
"Yoshi, yoshi.Nochiko-neechan, nothing will happen as long as I'm here.I'll always protect you, so please don't worry anymore, okay?"
Nojiko, caught off guard and at a loss, was stunned by these words.She looked up at the little boy in front of her, whose clear eyes revealed unparalleled confidence.
Looking at Noji's pretty face as she looked up at him, Wang Luffy secretly released a calming electric current and said gently, "Do you believe me?"
These words seemed to possess a magical power.After hearing them, Nojiko felt incredibly calm.All her doubts and shame vanished, leaving only the image of the little figure before her eyes.
Looking at the person in front of him, Nojiko nodded firmly.
Wang Lufei continued, "Alright, promise me.As long as I'm by your side, you'll never have to show any worry.Because I'll eliminate anything that might make you worry as soon as it shows signs of life."
Seeing the little boy in front of him confidently uttering words that were beyond his age, as if they were celestial tales, Nojiko actually smiled and said:
"I promise you.I will always believe this from now on."
Looking at the girl in front of him who clearly knew that what he was saying was completely unfounded, yet still firmly believed it, Wang Lufei's heart skipped a beat.
If Nami and Luffy are a match made in heaven, then Nojiko and Luffy are a perfect couple, their love sealed by a single kiss.
Wang Luffy could no longer contain his emotions and instinctively hugged the girl in front of him again.Nojiko also felt the boy's burning passion and her emotions were stirred as well, and her movements began to follow suit.
The two seemed to forget the time, cuddling tenderly for a long time.When they came to their senses, it was almost noon.
"Oh no, oh no!We've been out for so long, it's almost noon, we need to hurry home and cook!" Nojiko, who was lying with Wang Luffy by the tree, suddenly jumped up and said.
Hearing Nojiko say this so suddenly, Wang Lufei was also a little surprised and asked, "Doesn't Aunt Mei'er know how to cook?Why do you have to cook every meal?"
"Oh dear, you don't know.Mom almost blew up the kitchen while cooking before.In the first few years after Mom adopted us, we made do with fast food and oranges," Nojiko said, pulling Wang Lufei along as they walked.
"Also, it's not that Mom hasn't tried to learn to cook, but it's like a curse.The most successful meal she's ever made is always a black mess, so if I don't go back and cook, we'll be eating charcoal ash today."
After hearing what Nojiko said, Wang Luffy followed her home quickly, secretly thinking to himself,
This future mother-in-law is so unreliable!She almost killed my two little wives.It seems that ten million Berries alone won't be enough to feed them.I'll have to take down two more pirate crews in a couple of days to get the bounty.
The two soon returned home, and upon entering, they saw Nami and Melbell sitting blankly in front of the door.
Seeing Nojiko return, Nami jumped three meters away and threw herself into her arms, saying sweetly, "Sister, where did you and Luffy go?I almost stopped Mom.She wanted to cook and said she had to show off her skills to Luffy."
"Huh?What?Mom's going to cook?Nami, are you alright?Is the kitchen okay?" Nojiko asked anxiously upon hearing Nami's words.
"It's okay, sis.I promised Mom I'd wait a few more minutes until you came back, otherwise she wouldn't start cooking.Thank goodness you made it back." Nami finished speaking, looked at Wang Luffy, and continued:
"Luffy, where did you and your sister go?Why are you out so late?You forgot to come back?" Nami asked, then leaned closer to Luffy and sniffed him, looking somewhat suspicious.
Wang Lufei raised his hands, changing the subject, and said, "I just asked Sister Nojiko to take me around the island and show me around.I got so engrossed in the walk that I lost track of time.Okay, enough chit-chat.You guys haven't cooked yet, how about I show you what I can do for you today?"
Hearing Wang Luffy's answer, Nami's interest was piqued, and she said, "You can cook too?Don't make it as charcoal as Mom's."
"Don't underestimate me.I learned from a royal chef.Just you wait and see." He gave Nami a confident look and then went into the kitchen with Nojiko.
With their combined efforts, the four dishes and soup were quickly prepared.The food was served, and Wang Luffy introduced it to Nami:
"I made this fish leaping over the dragon gate and this braised tofu.Come and taste how it is."
Upon hearing Luffy's words, Nami and Melbell also picked up their chopsticks, and once they started eating, they couldn't stop.Watching the two wolfing down their food, Luffy and Nojiko exchanged a smile and sat down to eat together.
"Ah~ I'm so satisfied with this meal.*burp* Luffy, your cooking skills are really good!I don't know where you learned all this.The girl who marries you in the future will be very lucky." Melbell said, lying on the chair and rubbing her stomach.
"Hehe, if I marry Luffy, will our family be able to eat all this forever?" Nami joked.
"Hey?That's great!If you're with Luffy, wouldn't we be able to eat meals prepared by two master chefs anytime, anywhere?""I agree.Hehe, Luffy, do you like our Nami?" Melbell said, half-jokingly.
Meibel knew in her heart that the little boy in front of her was no ordinary person, and that he was also a very good person.
If Nami really ends up with him, she won't have to live a life confined to this small village anymore.Her dream of drawing world charts might even come true.She should test his feelings first.
Hearing Melbell's joke, Luffy Wang became a little nervous.He glanced at Nojiko and, seeing that she didn't seem to care, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Nami is so cute, of course I'd be willing.But Nami is still so young, what if she falls in love with someone else when she grows up?So Aunt May, maybe it's better not to do it so soon."
"Pfft," Melbell chuckled, "I was just kidding, you took it seriously.Even if Nami were willing, I wouldn't want to give her to you.You little devil, hurry up and clean up and wash the dishes."
At the same time, she thought to herself, "This kid really has potential.And judging from Nami's appearance, if she stayed with him for a few more years, she probably wouldn't have room for anyone else in her heart.Sigh, daughters grow up and leave home; I'll just let things take their course."
At Melbell's command, the group began cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen.
