The boy's hair is soft, compared to the hedgehog-like feel of ordinary boys, his hair is of good quality, like taro flour vermicelli, the kind soaked in warm water, it feels soft to the touch, fragrant and delicious.

He doesn't seem to be good at taking care of himself. If Xia Mian let him be so stupid, maybe the spider will catch a cold and have a fever the next day.

"My sister can't help you wipe your hair like this all the time. You should learn to pay attention to these yourself. Next time, don't just run out with a towel on. It's still very cold at night."

With slightly dry hair, Xia Mian wiped Peter's face. The boy's eyes were very cute, and his eyes shifted with Xia Mian's movements.

"I thought my sister was looking for something urgent with me."

"It's just a matter of some shops, don't worry."

Xia Mian opened the closet, took out a pajamas from the bottom of the closet and put it on the bed.

Peter obediently put on his pajamas, and under Xia Mian's seemingly gentle gaze, he got on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. The quilt was light blue with small flowers on it, the style that almost every family had in the last century.

Peter almost sank into the bed, and his whole body immediately relaxed.

Very comfortable, very comfortable.

Peter thought that he hadn't felt this comfortable in his lost memory for a long time.

My sister knows about his past.

Maybe the strange man who got hurt last time also knows about his past.

They all hope that Peter can retrieve his memory and return to his place.

"Sister, was I a hero before?

For the first time, Peter became curious about his past. He quietly watched Xia Mian pull a chair by the side of the bed, picked up the ledger again, and looked at it by the bedside lamp.

"Well, it's amazing." Xia Mian responded casually.

Peter: "How powerful? Is it more powerful than Mr. Wilson?"

Mr. Wilson?

Xia Mian didn't realize who this polite address was referring to for a moment, and then remembered that it was Wade. She put down the account book, her dark eyes glowed coldly under the refraction of the light.

"How do you know that bastard's last name? Did he harass you?"

Peter was silent for a second, "No, sister, is he bad?"

"Fortunately, it's just that he is good at pulling your integrity to the same height as him, and then defeating you with his rich experience.

Xia Mian may not know that her attitude at the moment is very much like a guardian educating a child. When she discovers the relationship between the child and the bad youth, she has a serious expression, "Stay away from him."

Peter whispered, "But my sister has a very good relationship with him..."

Xia Mian: "Adult's communication."

Peter: "I've grown up."

aestivation:"……"

Aestivation always forgets this.

Peter noticed that his sister's expression suddenly drifted for a moment, as if she had fallen into deep thought in an unknown field, and the account book in her hand might not have been opened for a long time.

"Sister, which one is stronger, Mr. Wilson or I?"

Back to this question again.

Well-behaved baby Peter also has moments of strength.

"you."

Peter's eyes brightened slightly, and his voice raised a little: "Really?"

Xia Mian nodded very seriously, with high credibility.

"Okay, go to sleep. Tomorrow, I will help my sister tidy up the warehouse."

"Okay, good night, sister."

Xia Mian got up, turned off the bedside lamp, "Good night, Peter."

After closing the door, Xia Mian's figure was shrouded in the dim and silent light of the corridor. She listened to the movement in the room, and the little spider seemed to have turned over, and there was no movement.

He is always very obedient, so that Xia Mian always ignores him unknowingly, he has almost grown up.

Or he has grown up.

Children are not children after war.

It's just that he lost his memory and forgot about those cruelties.

But there will always be a day when you can get back on track.

Xia Mian stroked her hair silently.

"What's going on in England?"

Xia Mian turned back to her bedroom, and she asked about the hut where she always pretended to be a passer-by to spy on the screen.

"Has the old man been caught?"

Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, speaking in a serious voice: "You are Mr. Xia's granddaughter, you should support him, protect him and love him."

Xia Mian: "...So, did you catch it?"

Women are horrible creatures.

The cottage felt desolate.

"No……"

"Oh."

The cottage is not sure what Xia Mian is thinking, she should love old man Xia, after all, he is her own grandfather, but her carefree attitude makes people feel cold, although what the old man did really cheated his granddaughter...

An old man who exists only in other people's conversations and memories.

"Little master... there is one more thing..."

Xia Mian turned off the light in the corridor, holding the account book in her hand, and was about to go back to the house to read it again. The hut stammered and said, "I didn't bother you when you had a good chat with the spider. There are intruders in the noodle shop."

aestivation:"……"

Xiao Xiao immediately explained: "But I've got her under control!!! I'm not lazy!! I'm super hard-working QAQ!!"

Xia Mian: "I didn't say anything..."

Cabin: QWQ

is she scary

Xia Mian didn't know why, but the crying sound of the little milk in the hut was painful, and Xia Mian reluctantly comforted it: "It's doing well."

Cabin: happy~

Children, very coaxing.

Being stolen out by old man Xia, he might not be very smart, so he was bound in this house, and the only person who could chat and contact was Xia Mian.

"Where is she?"

"Lobby, her shape is very strange. I have never seen her before. She turned into your appearance. I let her slip in without noticing for a while, but the breath on her body is very strange, and I soon found out that something was wrong."

Xia Mian didn't go to the lobby right away, she put the ledger in the drawer first, although mutants probably aren't interested in business, but Xia Mian is a businessman, and businessmen are naturally sensitive to ledgers.

The lights in the lobby are turned off, and the surrounding area is completely silent. The noodle shop is not located in a busy commercial street, and there are few large shopping malls or lively bars around. There are residential areas, clubs, and black smoke from factories to the west. The terrain is vast and the pace of life is slow.

It's hard to see clearly in the dark, only the silhouette of a person is vaguely on the wall, and the next second, the lights suddenly come on.

A circle of wooden thorns popped up on the wall, firmly restraining the intruder on the wall. The magic product must be a high-quality product, and no physical attack can cause damage to the hut.

Every texture flows with silver magic, looking like faded fireflies in the night.

Ruiwen's pupils shrank rapidly, stimulated by the sudden light, and quickly adapted to return to normal. She suddenly shifted her gaze to the woman at the stairs on the second floor.

She wore a smoky blue Hanfu gown, and her hair was a little loose after a busy day. The hairpin was trembling in her hair. She was lightly holding the railing of the stairs with her left hand, and she was a little surprised when she saw Ruiwen.

Anyone who sees her will be amazed.

Especially Ruiwen is still in a state of change at the moment, she is exactly the same as the woman on the stairs now.

They have black hair and black eyes, the same figure, but one is standing there and the other is tied to the wall.

"It's very similar."

Xia Mian smiled and said, "It's just that I've never been so embarrassed."

Rui Wen didn't speak, she only looked at Xia Mian curiously.

She wasn't afraid of Raven.

Anyone who sees an existence like himself will be afraid, fear of the unknown, unless Xia Mian has known her ability for a long time.

This is indeed not a simple human being.

"Can you get your subordinates to put me down?"

Ruiwen blinked her eyes, her pupils trembled, a little pitifully, "It's so rude, it hurts me."

I was caught as soon as I entered the door, it was so sad.

Or she is not skilled.

The owner of this store seems to be a girl like her, she should be easy to talk to.

But Ruiwen misjudged her. Xia Mian has a gentle and talkative face, but her heart is actually cold. In Dr. Strange's words, she is a woman with "duplicity between appearance and appearance".

Although Doctor Strange's evaluation has too many personal emotions in it.

"You broke into my house in the middle of the night, how would I know if you came to kill me or to eat noodles?"

Xia Mian walked down the stairs, "You are welcome to eat noodles, our noodle restaurant has no reason to tie up customers, but if you are here to make trouble, I can only tie you to the government."

government……

Ruiwen's expression changed slightly.

The military isn't friendly to mutants.

Xia Mian waited for her reply, they all knew that Ruiwen's purpose was unclear, and Xia Mian's words were just to give her a step down.

Having figured this out, Rui Wen felt that Xia Mian was a kind person.

What a contradiction.

"I'm a little hungry..."

Xia Mian smiled, "Cabin, let her come down."

Ruiwen's whole body was tense and alert, and the thorns that bound her seemed to breathe, and quickly retracted into the wall. Ruiwen fell to the ground and moved her hands and feet. When she looked up, the wall was smooth and there was no movement.

Forget it, she should rest her mind.

"What face do you have?"

Xia Mian: "Unfortunately, it's closed, come tomorrow morning?"

Ruiwen: "..."

Are you teasing her?

Rui Wen was speechless for a while, seeing Xia Mian always looking at her strangely with a half-smile, Rui Wen turned away uncomfortably.

At present, Riven is not quite used to the gaze of humans.

Xia Mian poured a cup of tea, "Come on, although we don't have face, we have tea."

Rui Wen observed for a while, and confirmed that Xia Mian really invited her to drink tea, so she sat across from her, picked up the teacup, and took a sip, which was a bit bitter.

She thought only coffee was bitter.

And the first time she drank coffee, it was a cup of Blue Mountain that Charles invited her to drink, and it was terrible.

"Xiamian" held the teacup and looked around strangely, with a look of ignorance.

The corner of Xia Mian's mouth twitched, "You should change back, I really can't get used to talking to myself."

Unlike looking in a mirror, although Rui Wen can imitate Xia Mian's figure, she cannot imitate Xia Mian's expression, perhaps the current Rui Wen has not cultivated to such a proficient level.

Like sitting across from a guy in his own skin.

It has a horror movie feel to it.

"Can I say no?"

Xia Mian smiled: "Yes."

Ruiwen was holding the teacup, and the temperature was transmitted to her palm through the porcelain cup. The tea soup was light yellow and transparent, with one or two green leaves floating in it. She had never drunk this kind of thing before.

"But you are unhappy, will your subordinates hang me on the wall if you are unhappy?"

Ruiwen asked straightforwardly, her eyes were clear and alert, vigilant and curious about the outside world, as well as dark and gloomy,

At least these eyes don't have such a look on Xia Mian's face.

Xia Mian took a sip of tea, "I'm not violent. The hut did that because you came uninvited and turned into me again, arousing its defenses. Next time you come, just come in."

After thinking about it, Xia Mian said again: "You are alone, don't bring friends."

Ruiwen stared at her closely, a little impolite, Xia Mian didn't make a sound to remind her, it was useless to her, her childhood lived in a very bad environment, she was lucky to survive, there was no need to be polite.

"Why are you so nice to me? There's nothing in me for you to take advantage of."

Ruiwen: "I came here to steal something. Maybe if you have a bad temper, I will kill you."

"Steal what? Steal food?"

Ruiwen: "..."

Why are you responding so skillfully...

There is also a look of "why is there another one" on his face.

"You mutants are really miserable."

Xia Mian shook her head.

Ruiwen: "..."

She doesn't often act with Charles and the others. She is used to being alone. She can't have a normal job, and she can't go to a restaurant to eat normally. food aroma.

She thought, if she passes by here again one day, she will go in and have a look.

She's been here before.

While the owner is away or asleep, sneak in to find food.

That's how Charles discovered her back then.

Charles also treated her to a meal back then.

So is this woman now.

The woman treated her to a bowl of noodles.

Freshly made noodles in clear soup.

Are good people so ubiquitous these days?

Just as Ruiwen thought this way, the woman she had just labeled as a good person rubbed her chin and asked her with a smile: "Since you don't want to change back, why don't you consider a part-time job? Help me look after the store, and eat and eat every day. You only need Just sit like me, and occasionally you might need a plate or something, but overall it’s pretty laid back.”

A ready labor.

Xia Mian's abacus made a crackling sound.

The business of the noodle shop is getting better and better. She plans to open a branch in the eastern part of Canada and transfer one or two old employees there. There are not many people here.

She looked at Ruiwen with a blank face, "So, are you interested?"
