Rebirth of the Father of Anime

An inexplicable sense of dissonance deeply troubled He Chen.

Yi Jingshuo also came out of the shower. They were all from her own family and had no scruples. She only put on a silk nightgown, which was very refreshing in this hot summer.

Under Mamiko's greeting, the three of them sat in the restaurant to eat.

The recipes prepared by Mamiko seemed to have changed again. Before, they were all nourishing recipes, mainly light, but today's dish was a bit greasy... What made He Chen slightly concerned was that on the other hand, today's meals looked so greasy. So common?

Mamiko's cooking skills are constantly improving. Even the ordinary fried shredded potatoes can be cooked and give people a very delicious feeling, just like the food run in He Chen's "A Bite of China" In reality.

However, the food on the table in front of He Chen was... very ordinary!

Just like He Chen himself did.

Although it was strange, He Chen didn't take it to heart. Maybe Mamiko was trying new dishes again?

He Chen tried to take a bite and frowned again. It's not that Mamiko's cooking tastes bad this time... Sometimes when Mamiko is experimenting with new dishes, there will be certain flavors that He Chen doesn't like very much, but whether it tastes bad or delicious, it's Mamiko's taste.

But the food in front of He Chen was too ordinary. It didn't look like Mamiko's food at all.

The feeling of dissonance became more and more serious. He Chen tasted all the dishes on the table and found that all the dishes were the same ordinary...not bad, not delicious, and without any special features.

"Mamiko. Who cooked today?" He Chen asked.

Mamiko looked at He Chen doubtfully and said, "Is it me? What's wrong? Mr. Chen, is it too unpalatable?"

Mamiko looked nervous. It’s as if he’s afraid that what he cooks will taste too bad. So she tasted a few bites of each dish, then her eyebrows relaxed and she breathed a sigh of relief. She asked He Chen: "Mr. Chen, don't you like these dishes? Then I'll make them again..."

As he was about to stand up, He Chen frowned and waved his hand, asking her to sit down.

Mamiko doesn't think there's anything wrong with these dishes?

"Mamiko, could it be said that... your sense of taste has lost its function?" He Chen's expression became serious. Loss of taste is a big deal! And this is the only possibility that He Chen can think of.

Mamiko suddenly lost her sense of taste.

As a result, she couldn't distinguish the taste, so she cooked a very ordinary meal - because she still remembered the steps, the basic taste of the meal was still maintained.

In various food stories, it’s not often that such a “god chef” suffers from a malfunction of his sense of taste. And can't cook?

"It's malfunctioning? Is my sense of taste malfunctioning?" Mamiko immediately became nervous, picked up a large piece of vegetables, tasted a few bites, and then asked He Chen: "Chenjun, this dish is salty, right? That's right? Bar?"

His eyes were full of expectation.

She was right, that dish was indeed salty.

"He Chen, you are teasing Mamizi again." Yi Jingshuo glared at He Chen helplessly. Then he said to Mamiko: "Mamiko, don't listen to him, your sense of taste has not failed. He is just teasing you again."

Mamiko breathed a sigh of relief and said aggrievedly to He Chen: "Mr. Chen, why do you always like to tease me? Is the food I cook not to your taste?"

He Chen's face became more suspicious. He ignored Mamizi and asked Yi Jingshuo: "Do you think there is a problem?"

Yi Jingshuo looked at He Chen strangely: "What's the problem? Isn't this what Mamizi's cooking tastes like? What else can you taste?"

He Chen was silent.

Yi Jingshuo put down her chopsticks and said to He Chen with concern: "I feel like you are very strange today. Why are you so startled? Is there something wrong?"

He Chen didn't answer, Mamiko had no problem. Yi Jingshuo is fine, but is there something wrong with her sense of taste?

"Chenjun, if you don't like these dishes, then I will make them again..."

"He Chen, are you too tired these days?"

Yi Jingshuo and Mamizi both spoke carefully, looking at He Chen with eyes full of concern.

He Chen kept silent and knitted his eyebrows together. Looking at the deserted dining table, he suddenly noticed the biggest problem.

"Where is Ling Yan?" He Chen raised his head and asked Yi Jingshuo.

Yi Jingshuo and Mamizi looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces.

"Ling Yan?"

"Who is Ling Yan?"

…

He Chen suddenly opened his eyes. In front of him, a pair of bright cat eyes looked at him lovingly...

After a while, Luna stuck out her tongue and licked He Chen's nose.

A scene full of instant vision.

He Chen got up immediately, didn't bother to wash up, put on his pajamas, and walked out of the bedroom. Luna let out a "meow", jumped off the bed, and followed He Chen with a bump on her butt.

"Ah! Luna, so you are here!"

Mamiko's cry of surprise came from a distance, followed by a trot. Mamiko came over and picked up Luna from the ground. She quickly bowed and apologized to He Chen: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't take care of it." Luna, let it disturb your rest. Luna, I told you, Chenjun is very busy these days, don’t pester Chenjun all the time, let Chenjun have a good rest."

It was still the familiar scene, Mamiko was wearing an apron, her hair was tied up, and her soft voice carried some kind of magical power.

Yi Jingshuo is not here.

"What day is it today?" He Chen asked Mamizi.

Mamiko tilted her head and replied: "Thursday."

"Where's Yi Jingshuo?"

"Sister Jingshuo has gone to work." Regarding He Chen's inexplicable question, Mamizi's eyes revealed a hint of doubt.

He Chen nodded and stared at Mamizi for a long time. Mamizi's heart was pounding. He Chen suddenly asked: "Why didn't you go?"

"Ah?" Mamiko didn't respond.

"I mean, why didn't you go to work?" He Chen emphasized.

"... I'm on vacation today... Didn't you ask me to take a vacation... Or did I misunderstand? Then, then. Then, after I finish making breakfast for you, I will go to work..."

Mamiko seemed like she was going to cry. She thought she had misunderstood He Chen's words and let He Chen see her absence from work. She has always worked hard. If He Chen had a bad impression that she was lazy and absent from work, she would want to die.

He Chen suddenly remembered that Mamiko had been doing less dubbing recently and her work was not big, so He Chen gave Mamiko a holiday. Let her rest for a while.

"Oh! It's okay, I'm just asking. Take a good vacation! Let yourself relax, don't work all the time, be careful not to tire yourself out."

"Um!"

Mamiko nodded vigorously and smiled happily.

"Then I'll make breakfast first. What would Mr. Chen want to eat?"

"Whatever... wait." He Chen stopped Mamizi who was about to walk away. Mamizi turned her head. He Chen looked at her very seriously, letting Mamiko understand that this was a very important matter, and her face became serious. And nervous.

"Where's Ling Yan?"

"Sister Yan? She is still resting. Do you want me to call her if there is anything?"

Mamizi thought that He Chen had something very important to ask Ling Yan, but she didn't expect that He Chen just waved his hand and asked him to do his own thing with a relaxed expression. Went to wash up. Mamiko was left with a head full of questions, wondering what He Chen meant.

"This still tastes good!" The breakfast still had the familiar taste of Mamiko, and He Chen felt as if a heavy stone had been dropped in his heart.

"Okay?" Mamiko felt that her brain was not enough today. He Chen always felt weird.

Mamiko tasted the breakfast seriously and carefully, frowning. She couldn't tell how this was any different from the previous breakfast.

Why did He Chen praise this?

Mamiko was puzzled.

In the afternoon, Yi Jingshuo came back.

"What's wrong? You seem to be quite happy. Did another female fan send you fruit photos?" Yi Jingshuo said to He Chen.

"That's..." He Chen seemed as proud as if he had really gotten the results.

"Huh?" Yi Jingshuo's voice became condensed.

"Impossible!" He Chen immediately changed his tune. He firmly promised Yi Jingshuo with his pure and flawless character.

"Hmph!" Yi Jingshu wrinkled her nose and snorted softly.

He Chen pinched his chin. Looking at Yi Jingshuo, Yi Jingshuo put down her things and asked He Chen: "What are you looking at? Am I getting fat again?" Yi Jingshuo touched her slender waist, and there was no trace of fat.

"He is fat." He Chen nodded, his eyes could distinguish any subtle difference.

"Really?" Yi Jingshuo immediately asked nervously with a grimace on her face.

"Well, it feels like your breasts are a lot bigger... Why haven't you noticed it recently? I heard that 'massage' can stimulate growth. I used to do the 'massage'. Could it be that I have been too busy recently, so you Did you 'massage' yourself a lot?"

He Chen's words made Yi Jingshu blush in shame, but her raised eyebrows showed her happy mood.

When he turned around, he lowered his head and reached out to grab it, as if he wanted to experience whether it felt comfortable.

"I had a very strange dream today..."

He Chen recalled the scene in his dream that was almost fake, and explained to Yi Jingshuo with a smile why he became a little "weird" today.

When the doorbell rings at the right time, Hutao will always come to visit in time before dinner.

"Ha, ha, ha! He Chen, I'm here again!" Like the devil, Hu Tao's exaggerated laughter came over before anyone arrived.

"Hu Tao! How can you do this... You all know that He Chen is afraid of it, why did you bring it..." Yi Jingshuo said angrily to Hu Tao.

Hutao didn't care: "Humph! I let him steal a woman from me. I have been bullied by him for so long and finally found his weakness. How could I just let him go!" Hutao squeezed out the last few words through gritted teeth.

In response, Yi Jingshuo could only hold her forehead in embarrassment and helplessness.

"Let your mouse play with my Luna... I really don't know why you gave it such a name. It's obviously a cute little hamster, why did you call it a mouse?"

He Chen looked at a hamster named "Rat", and a feeling of horror arose in He Chen's heart.

His eyes could distinguish any subtle difference, and he could confirm that this hamster was the one he bought, died, and then buried on Children's Day!

But now, it appeared in front of him alive and kicking.

His mouth was stuffed full of food, and his cheeks were puffed up into two big buns.

A pair of black and bright bean eyes looked at He Chen.

"He Chen, what strange dream did you just say you had?" (To be continued)
