25: Chapter 25 An Unexpected First KissAfter lying in bed for a while, Wang Lufei got up to start his workout.Daily morning exercise was essential; it was a habit he had developed over three years on Sky Island, and even now, on vacation in Cocoyasi Village, he had to maintain his training.
This is a good example set by a certain bald, caped guy who broke his limiter for all the main characters, and Luffy has kept it in mind ever since he came to this world.
While I don't expect to be able to train for three years like him and instantly become a star, I still need to catch up with my 20-year-old self from the original story by the time I'm 18.
So Luffy told Nojiko, who was making breakfast, and went out to run around the island.
The dust kicked up by the car attracted a lot of elderly people sitting in front of their homes who pointed and whispered about it.
"Cough, cough, cough, where did this little guy come from?He's running so fast, he's splashed dirt two meters high, he almost choked this old man to death."
"Yes, although our village hasn't seen such energetic young people in a long time, this is a bit too much."
The old men and women started chatting, but it was all meaningless talk.
Wang Lufei ignored the old people's comments, but deliberately avoided those houses and residential areas when he ran.
Soon, Wang Luffy finished his morning exercise after running for an hour.On his way back, he took a bath by the river and then used his Devil Fruit ability to dry his body and clothes with electric heating.
When he got home, Wang Luffy's face was rosy, and there was no sign of him running.Nojiko saw him like this and asked:
"You've been out for an hour, but you look like you just stepped out; you haven't even broken a sweat.What have you been doing?"
After saying that, she brought him breakfast and, while placing the food in front of him, she also took a sniff of his body.
She thought the sweat wouldn't be visible underneath, so she wanted to smell it and then help wash the clothes.But Wang Lufei smelled wonderful, with no sweat at all, which really bothered her.
Because Nojiko didn't smell the expected sweat, she froze and remained in that head-down position, which made Luffy mistakenly think that she wanted to kiss him again.
Earlier, when he woke up, he secretly took a bite of something.Wang Luffy, whose heart was not pure, misunderstood.Looking at Nojiko, who was standing still with her head down, he thought she was waiting for him to take the initiative.
So, as if possessed, Wang Luffy followed Nojiko's surprised gaze and kissed her lips.
Nojiko was completely stunned.She never expected this little boy to kiss her first.She wondered if he had found out she had kissed him before and wanted to return the favor?How embarrassing!
After a moment of stunned silence, Nojiko covered her face in embarrassment and ran away, leaving Luffy there to savor the feeling from just now.
"I used to hear people say how sweet kissing is, that a woman's mouth is sweet, but after kissing her myself, how should I put it, it's just so-so."
It wasn't sweet or salty, like licking a piece of sugar-free jelly.If I had to try it again, I'd linger a little longer.
While thinking, Wang Lufei licked his lips with his tongue, as if he wanted to savor the moment again.
Nujiko covered her face shyly and ran to the riverbank.Gazing at her reflection in the water, she blushed and cursed herself inwardly:
"He's just a kid.He kissed me without thinking.What's the big deal?Nojiko, can you stop being so perverted?He's just a kid.How can you have those kinds of feelings for him?"
After saying that, Nojiko slapped her cheeks hard, then took a deep breath and made her rabbit jump around to calm herself down.
Luffy had already finished eating, and he was getting worried because Nojiko hadn't returned yet.He used his Observation Haki to go look for her.
Then they found Nojiko talking to himself by the river, so Luffy hid behind a rock and peeked out to observe him.
Nojiko looked at himself in the river and encouraged himself, "Stop thinking nonsense, Nojiko.You should strive for your dreams, not be a pervert who kidnaps young boys."
Your dream is to meet famous chefs from all over the world, exchange cooking tips with everyone, become the best chef in the world, and be able to cook a whole table of dishes at will, using whatever ingredients you want, making everyone who eats them smile.
You have to work hard!You can't go to jail so early for kidnapping a young boy; your dream hasn't come true yet.
"Very good, we must maintain this belief.Once we get back, we need to distance ourselves from Luffy.We can't continue like this, we can't keep falling into this state of depravity."
After hearing these words, Wang Lufei was somewhat moved and forgot that he was hiding, making a noise.
Nojiko heard a sound behind the rock, turned around and shouted, "Who's there?Come out!What did you just hear."
Before Nojiko could finish speaking, Wang Luffy, unable to maintain his facade any longer, emerged from behind the rock with his hands raised, feigning innocence, and said:
"I'm sorry, Sister Nuoqi.I hadn't seen you come back after dinner, so I was worried something had happened to you and came looking for you.I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation."
And please don't distance yourself from me, okay?Did I do something wrong to upset you?I can change.
Wang Lufei knew he had to use his small size to take the initiative, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain himself later.So after speaking, Wang Lufei made a wronged, tearful expression.
Looking into Wang Luffy's innocent big eyes, Nojiko felt a little guilty.After all, he was just a child, and the one who was really at fault was herself.She shouldn't have fallen for a child.
Feeling guilty, Nojiko pulled Luffy into her arms again, stroking his head to comfort him, "I'm sorry, little Luffy.You didn't do anything wrong.I was just a little upset, so I said things randomly.Don't worry about it."
Luffy, who had just received a head pat, was also touched as he looked at Nojiko in front of him, gently stroking her head.After thinking for a moment, she said, "Sister, from what you just said, you dream of becoming the best chef.That's a really good dream."
Actually, I can help you.I learned a few tricks from those royal chefs before, and I can teach them to you.
And don't worry about the ingredients.I took 10 million Berries with me when I left home, and I gave it all to Nami yesterday.We can use that money to buy some.If it's not enough, I can go back and get more.I have plenty of savings of my own."
That's right.Back in Skypiea, Luffy liked to hang out with the royal chefs at the temple whenever he had free time.In his previous life, he lived alone and honed his culinary skills.After exchanging ideas with the royal chefs, he became even more adept at cooking, so teaching Nojiko shouldn't be a problem.
Meanwhile, Nokiko's concern is likely about the ingredients, which can be inferred from the fact that she has been staring out the window in a daze since she finished cooking yesterday.
Nojiko was also excited after hearing Wang Luffy's words.Putting aside her worries, she cupped Wang Luffy's face and asked, "Really?You're not just saying that to make your sister happy, are you?"
Wang Luffy looked earnestly into Nojiko's eyes and said, "It's true, Nojiko-neechan.I never lie, you have to believe me~"
Noki nodded happily after receiving a correct answer.Then she looked into Wang Lufei's eyes and, in her joy, couldn't help but follow his gaze and kiss him.
Ten seconds later, their lips parted.Nojiko, blushing, whispered to Wang Luffy, "This is our secret.Don't tell anyone about our kiss, or I'll be kidnapped and never see you again.Let's pinky swear, promise me you won't tell anyone."
Wang Lufei looked at the shy but trying-to-hide girl in front of him with amusement, nodded, and extended his little finger to hold hers.
