Chapter 108: Should I pack or should I have a conscience?
Jiang Xia stayed up late at night, set up a few simple control groups, and barely came to some conclusions.
——At present, this method of using food to replace murderous aura is only applicable to feeding Miyano Akemi. And it must be the food made by Huiyuan Ai herself.
In addition, because the appearance and smell of the tribute were really hard to describe, Miyano Akemi ate a few bites out of love and became a pale ghost. So Jiang Xia improved the method of cooking ghost food.
After countless attempts, he found that he could make the ghost mint into a seasoning bag like a tea bag, and then cook it under high pressure with the food.
When I discovered this method, there was only a little leftover.
Miyano Akemi ate the "normal food" and shed tears of gratitude for surviving the disaster.
Jiang Xia touched her head kindly, and secretly pressed the falling tears back onto her body to save energy.
Then he left Miyano Akemi to continue eating while he washed the lunch box and took it back to the doctor's house.
…
After Dr. Agasa finished his meal, he went to bed quickly.
It was Haibara Ai who came over and opened the door.
Haibara Ai looked up at Jiang Xia, she actually had a lot to say.
But think about what I just promised to do: "pretend today is the first time we meet each other"...
She swallowed those words silently and planned to go back to the house lonely.
But before she turned around, she found Jiang Xia standing at the door and didn't leave, looking like he had something to say.
"...Hmm?" Huibara Ai held the lunch box and looked up at him in confusion.
"Well..." Jiang Xia also felt that he had just established the rules of "pretending not to know each other and drawing a clear line" in getting along with each other, but he turned around and came to eat other people's food, which was quite embarrassing.
But thinking about the hungry ghosts at home, he could only clear his throat and pretend that nothing had happened: "Next time you cook, can you make an extra portion like today? As a reward, if there is anything you want, I will try my best to help you get it."
...While Huibara-san is relatively poor now, hurry up and get her long-term meal ticket.
Jiang Xia remembered that Huihara Ai liked brand bags very much.
Now that she had just escaped from the organization, she was penniless and had no money at all. She would definitely not mind exchanging rice for money - cooking was the same whether you cooked half a pot or a full pot, there was actually no difference.
Jiang Xia always felt that the little girl's eyes would light up in the next second, she would put down the lunch box, and raise her hand to show him the style and appearance of the bag.
But it didn’t.
——Not only did Haibara Ai not order anything, but she even had tears in her eyes, and she almost took out a handkerchief to wipe her eyes.
Jiang Xia: “?”
…
Haibara Ai was in a very complicated mood.
Although the Jiang Xia she imagined was very different from the actual Jiang Xia, they had one thing in common - Jiang Xia didn't seem to want to contact her.
But Jiang Xia actually asked her to "meet at least three times a day"... He must be tired of eating takeout instant noodles, and now he can't resist the temptation of home-cooked meals.
…
Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame, feeling that Huiyuan Ai's reaction was not what he expected:
Could it be that she had wanted to have the bag for a long time but was too embarrassed to tell the doctor, and now that she suddenly had the opportunity, she couldn't help but cry with joy?
On the other side, Huibara Ai pondered silently for a while and gradually came back to her senses.
She shook her head. "No. I prefer to cook larger portions anyway. Besides..."
She looked up at Jiang Xia and said softly, "Besides, you saved me - if you must calculate the reward, you have already paid it in advance, so you don't need to give me anything else."
"!" Jiang Xia's heart shuddered, remembering that not long ago, he drove the little white puppet and picked up Shirley and brought her back to the doctor's house.
Jiang Xia suddenly felt guilty, but his face remained calm, as if he was very puzzled: "I saved you?"
"Yeah." Huiyuan Ai lowered her head:
"Helping to conceal my existence is already saving me.
"So, if you need my help with something, just tell me directly. Don't always think about what to exchange for it. My life is valuable. You have already paid in full with it."
…
While saying these words, Huibara Ai kept her head down.
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 emerged in her mind. The shiny and beautiful bags lined up in front of her eyes, which was very tempting.
...If it were someone else, she would have just taken advantage of the situation and killed him.
But think rationally... an underage high school student who is still in school, even if he has savings, should use that money to plan for his future.
Huiyuan Ai: "..." If I were to turn Jiang Xia's precious and limited money into her bag just for a little personal hobby...
...My conscience hurts and I can't do it.
…
Jiang Xia looked at this fake child strangely, who was sometimes in tears, sometimes in deep thought, and sometimes with a resolute expression.
...Although he didn't know what happened, he still got the key message: "successfully got a free meal."
Jiang Xia then touched Haibara Ai's head, and with this action, he pulled down Miyano Akemi, who had left his house at some point and was rubbing against her sister's head, and said goodbye and left.
