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.
——Currently, this method of using food to replace murderous aura is only suitable for feeding Miyano Akemi. And the food must be cooked by Haibara Ai herself.
In addition, because the appearance and smell of the tributes were difficult to describe, Miyano Akemi turned into a pale ghost after eating a few mouthfuls. So Jiang Xia improved the method of cooking ghost food by the way.
After numerous attempts, he discovered that he could make ghost mint into a tea bag-like seasoning bag, and then simmer it 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 Haiyuan Ai who came to open the door.
Hui Yuan 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. It 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 help you get it."
... 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 Hui Yuan Ai liked brand bags very much.
Now that she had just escaped from the organization, she was penniless and didn't have a bag, so she definitely wouldn't mind exchanging food for bags - anyway, when it comes to cooking, she cooks half a pot and a full pot, so 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.
But it didn't.
——Not only did Haiyuan Ai not place an order, but she also had tears in her eyes, almost taking out a small handkerchief and touching the corners of her eyes.
Jiang Xia: "?"
…
Hui Yuan Ai's mood was very complicated.
Although the Jiang Xia in her imagination is very different from the real Jiang Xia, there is one thing in common - Jiang Xia doesn't seem to want to contact her.
But Jiang Xia, like this, actually made such a request to her to "see her at least three times a day"... It must be that she is tired of eating takeaway instant noodles, and now that she suddenly eats home-cooked food, she can't resist this temptation.
…
Jiang Xia leaned against the door frame, feeling that Hui Yuan Ai's reaction was different from what he expected:
Could it be that I had wanted to buy it for a long time, but I was too embarrassed to tell the doctor that the opportunity suddenly came up, so I couldn't help crying with joy?
Opposite me, 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 portions of 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 paid 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."
…
When 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 taken advantage of the situation just now.
But think 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.
Hui Yuan Ai: "..." If for some personal hobbies, Jiang Xia's precious and limited money is turned into her bag...
...My conscience is so painful that I can't take action.
…
Jiang Xia looked at this tomboy strangely, 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 "successfully making money".
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 and nuzzling her, before saying goodbye and leaving.
