Chapter 108 To protect yourself or to have a conscience

Jiang Xia stayed up late at night, made several crude control groups, and reluctantly came to some conclusions.

—At present, this method of replacing murderous aura with food is only suitable for feeding Miyano Akemi. And it must be cooked by Hui Yuan Ai himself.

In addition, because the appearance and smell of the tribute were really hard to describe, Miyano Akemi relied on love power to eat a few mouthfuls, and then collapsed into a pale ghost. So Jiang Xia improved the method of cooking ghost food by the way.

After numerous attempts, he discovered that ghost mint could be made into a seasoning bag like a tea bag, and then simmered under high pressure with the food.

 When I discovered this method, there were only a few leftovers.

Miyano Akemi ate the pile of "normal food" and was moved to tears for the rest of her life.

Jiang Xia touched her head kindly, and secretly pressed the fallen tears back to her body to save energy.

Then he left Miyano Akemi to continue eating, while he washed the lunch box and sent it back to the doctor's house.

 …

 Dr. Ali finished his meal and went to bed quickly.

It was Hui Yuan Ai who came to open the door.

Huiyuan Ai looked up at Jiang Xia, actually he had a lot to say.

 But think about the promise you just made to "pretend today is the first time two people meet"...

 She swallowed those words silently and planned to go back to the house lonely.

 But before turning around, she found Jiang Xia standing at the door, looking like she had something to say.

 “…huh?” Hui Yuan Ai held the lunch box and raised her head to look at him doubtfully.

"Um..." Jiang Xia also felt that she had just set the rules of "pretending not to know each other and drawing clear boundaries" to get along with each other, but then she turned around and took advantage of others, which was a shame.

But when I thought about the ghost waiting for food at home, I could only clear my throat and pretend that nothing happened just now: "When you cook in the future, can you make an extra serving like today? As a reward, if there is anything you want, , I will try my best to get it for you.”

　　… Taking advantage of the fact that Haiyuan classmate is relatively poor now, seize the opportunity to get her long-term meal ticket.

Jiang Xia remembered that Huiyuan Ai liked brand bags very much.

Now that she had just escaped from the organization, she was penniless and didn't have a bag. She would definitely not mind exchanging rice for a bag - anyway, when it comes to cooking, it's half a pot or a full pot, but it doesn't really make any difference.

Jiang Xia always felt that the little girl's eyes would light up the next second, she would put down her lunch box and raise her hand to show him the style and appearance of the bag.

 However, it didn’t.

—Haiyuan Ai not only didn’t order, but she also had tears in her eyes, and almost took out a small handkerchief to touch the corners of her eyes.

Jiangxia: "?"

Hui Yuan Ai’s mood was very complicated.

Although there is a big difference between the Jiangxia in her imagination and the real Jiangxia. But one thing is the same - Jiang Xia doesn't seem to want to contact her.

But Jiang Xia actually asked her to "see her at least three times a day"... She must have been tired of eating takeout instant noodles, and now that she suddenly had home-cooked food, she couldn't resist the temptation.

 …

Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame and felt that Hui Yuan Ai's reaction was different from what he expected:

 Could it be that you had wanted to buy it for a long time, but you were too embarrassed to tell the doctor that you suddenly had an opportunity, so you couldn't help crying with joy?

Opposite him, Hui Yuan Ai pondered for a while and gradually came back to his senses.

 She shook her head: "No. Originally, I prefer to cook large meals. And..."

She looked up at Jiang Xia and said softly: "And you saved me - if you have to calculate the reward, you have already advanced it in advance, so there is no need to give me anything else."

"!" Jiang Xia felt excited, remembering how not long ago he drove Shirley back to the doctor's house in his little white puppet.

Jiang Xia suddenly felt guilty, but her face remained calm, as if confused: "Saved you?"

 “Yeah.” Hui Yuan Ai lowered his head:

“Helping to conceal my existence is already saving me.

"So, if you need my help with anything, just tell me directly. You don't have to always think about what to exchange - my life is very valuable, and you have already paid the full price with this."

 …

　　While saying these words, Hui Yuan Ai always lowered his head.

To be honest, just now, when Jiang Xia said "What do you want?", a large number of new bags that she had been paying attention to for a long time suddenly appeared in her mind, and the shiny and beautiful bags were lined up in front of her eyes. It's very tempting to pass by.

 …If it had been another person, she might have just taken advantage of the situation and killed her.

But if you think about it more rationally... Even if a high school student is still in school, even if he has savings, he should use that money to plan for his future.

Haiyuan Ai: "..." If for some personal hobbies, Jiang Xia's precious and limited money is turned into her purse...

 …My conscience is so painful that I can’t take action.

 …

Jiang Xia looked at this tomboy with strange eyes, who was sometimes tearful, sometimes thoughtful, and sometimes had a determined look on his face.

 …Although he didn’t know what happened, he still understood the key message of “successful meal”.

Jiang Xia then touched Haibara Ai's head and used this action to pull down Miyano Akemi, who had drifted away from his house at some point and was leaning on her sister's head to nuzzle her, before saying goodbye and leaving.
