21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 455 451 Morning (Please Vote with Monthly Tickets, Subscribe)
Despite various concerns, when the sun rose, Chen Yu still got up early with Jounouchi Hiromi to prepare for work at the hospital.
"Here, this is for Audis," Jounouchi Hiromi opened a can of cat food and poured its contents into Audis's bowl. She also prepared the same food for Xiao Lan next to it, ignoring its unreasonable request for roast brave meat. Only after being satisfied watching them nod did she return to the dining table to enjoy her own breakfast.
Today's breakfast was made by Chen Yu, but it wasn't something he prepared after getting up this morning; instead, he had put it in the pot to simmer overnight. In the morning, he just had to add the pre-prepared preserved eggs and minced meat, then reheat everything together to make the preserved egg and lean meat congee.

As Jounouchi Hiromi gently blew on the hot congee scooped up with her spoon, she took a taste, and the delicious flavor filled her mouth, invigorating her spirit, as if a warm current had awakened her from her stomach, infusing her with energy.
"Mr. Chen Yu, how did you cook this congee? It's so delicious!" Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but praise. Although Japanese people only drink congee when sick, apparently, the Chinese do not have this custom; congee is just an ordinary breakfast in China.
"I rinsed the rice last night and started to simmer it in a clay pot using low heat all night long, slowly puffing up each grain of rice. This method makes the congee thick and full of rice fragrance," Chen Yu said as he served himself a bowl of congee, picked up a little bit of Japanese pickles, and after feeling especially contented with the delicious hot congee, he continued to explain, "As for the meat and preserved eggs in the congee, I prepared them this morning. The loin meat was diced and blanched to remove any gamey taste. Along with preserved eggs marinated with sugar and salt, and finely shredded ginger, they were all cooked until the fragrance was released."
"No, Mr. Chen Yu, you must have left out an ingredient!" Hearing Chen Yu say this, Jounouchi Hiromi took another careful spoonful of the hot congee, smelling and tasting it before pouting discontentedly at Chen Yu, seemingly dissatisfied with him for concealing an ingredient.
Seeing Jounouchi Hiromi's coquettish demeanor, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Hiromi, you actually tasted it? I added white pepper. That is the soul of preserved egg and lean meat congee. Without white pepper, it lacks soul."
"Lacks soul? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?" laughed Jounouchi Hiromi. But as she picked up her small bowl and looked at the fragrant hot congee, she still complimented Chen Yu, "Nevertheless, the congee you made is really delicious, Mr. Chen Yu. Teach me how to make it next time!"
"Sure, but for today let's get ready for work instead," replied Chen Yu with a smile, also reminding Jounouchi Hiromi to be mindful of the time.
Upon hearing Chen Yu's reminder, Jounouchi Hiromi suddenly put down her bowl, rushed back to her room, and brought back a stack of manuscript paper, placing it in front of Chen Yu: "Mr. Chen Yu, could you look at this? It's the paper I wrote based on the blood modification discussions we had. It mainly discusses how to improve the hemolytic reactions that occur between different blood types, thereby solving the problem of transfusions across different blood groups. If there's nothing wrong with it, I'd like to get it published."
"Hiromi, you want to publish this paper?" Chen Yu asked, flipping through the paper while praising, "That's a great idea! If it really becomes possible to transfuse blood between different types, it means that the existing medical research system concerning blood will be rewritten. Hiromi, if you can transform our discussions into a paper, you could even win a Nobel Prize!"
"The Nobel Prize? If both you and I could win the Nobel Prize, wouldn't that create a legend? As far as I know, only Madam Curie and her husband have both won the Nobel Prize in human history, right?" Upon hearing Chen Yu mention the Nobel Prize, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn't help but fantasize.
"If you're willing, it shouldn't be too difficult," Chen Yu smiled, setting aside Jounouchi Hiromi's thesis, "I'll have a look at it if I have time, but you know I'm not very good with papers. I suggest you let Professor Niaoi take a look instead."
Hearing this, Jounouchi Hiromi simply shrugged her shoulders and sat down to continue eating the preserved egg and lean meat porridge Chen Yu had prepared, saying nonchalantly, "It's fine. I asked you to take a look mainly to edit the parts about superordinary theory, after all, the paper is ultimately for the general public to read. So, Mr. Chen Yu, please help me delete those parts about superordinary theory first, then I'll take it to Professor Niaoi for his assistance."
"Mm, that works too. I'll help you take a look first," Chen Yu nodded without saying anything more.
Due to having to go to work in the morning, they soon finished their breakfast. Chen Yu snapped his fingers to summon the Ghost Maid to clean up the bowls and chopsticks. After cautioning Xiao Lan and Audis not to cause any trouble, he left the house with Jounouchi Hiromi.
"By the way, Hiromi, regarding the Tashiro Family matter, I entrusted Ryosen-kun and the Shadow Guard to cooperate with you last night. Just let them know how you want to proceed." As they walked toward the subway station, Chen Yu inevitably reminded Jounouchi Hiromi about this matter again.
Although it had been confirmed from Qingdai and Tashiro Nanaori that the strongest in the Tashiro Family was only Sub-Legendary, a nearly two-hundred-year-old monster was clearly deeply cunning. Even now, unaware of the actual situation due to the betrayal of his two great-granddaughters, he was not to be underestimated.
"I got it, you've told me several times! I'll be careful. Besides, it's just a two-hundred-year-old Sub-Legendary. Could he really win against Shadow Guard and Xiao Lan? With the two of them, even if the old man from the Tashiro Family is powerful, it won't be a problem. If you're really that worried, why don't you deal with him yourself?"
Feeling a bit embarrassed by what Jounouchi Hiromi had said, Chen Yu had no choice but to fall silent; he felt he was being too talkative. He truly didn't want to intervene in the matter, yet he couldn't let go of worrying about his girlfriend, which he supposed was understandable.
"By the way, Mr. Chen Yu, when will your Regenerative Medicine Research Laboratory be ready? Although Keiko's father has already woken up, his condition won't improve unless his soul is healed." Moving on from the Tashiro Family issue, Jounouchi Hiromi brought up the subject of Keiko's father with Chen Yu.
"Um, I'll ask Ryosen-kun later," Chen Yu was also very concerned about the matter, but he had entrusted Kyuuzai Ryousen with full responsibility for it.
