There is a noodle restaurant [Zhongyingmei]

Eric came to Aestivation, not really just to show his presence, he was because of the fact that members of Aestivation's Mutant Chamber of Commerce and Brotherhood were in Nepal.

Aestivation's mutant behavior rules are very similar to this insidious and cunning woman. It's no wonder that a group of pragmatists in the Brotherhood can outplay them.

Does Xia Mian know the purpose of Eric's trip?

of course I know.

Eric always had various reasons for seeing her every time, but this time it was really serious.

But Xia Mian is not serious anymore, his eyes are darkened and he doesn't know Eric anymore.

"Uncle, I'm in a hurry, can we change the way to strike up a conversation? It's easy for people to think you're a terrorist like this."

Eric squeezed the car door tightly, and the side of the door was pinched and deformed. Eric's expression was gloomy and terrible, "Aestivation."

Xia Mian: "I don't know you."

The reason why Eric came to the door this time was that the mutants of Xia Mian were not very honest, but it was impossible for Xia Mian to train his family members, so he could only force his two sleeves to be clean.

If you hit someone, just hit someone, put a sack on the alley and beat him hard, who can leave evidence?But that group of little bastards insisted on playing tricks, playing with the white wolf with empty gloves, and asking for credit from Xia Mian when they came back, with that expression of begging for praise, Xia Mian really rewarded him at that time.

But now, Xia Mian wants to beat him up.

Eric is not one to be fooled.

The part of Xia Mian pretending to be amnesia is also very difficult to withstand scrutiny, but the angry Eric lost control, the car was scrapped directly, and before the car was crushed into a discus, Eric pulled Xia Mian out of the car.

But really angry.

"What else do you want to play?"

Eric asked Xia Mian coldly. He grabbed Xia Mian's arm and said word by word, "I'll play with you."

The sound of the car rolling into the ear little by little, and within a few seconds, it became a discus several centimeters thick.

Eric has a cold temper and cruel methods. Over the years, Xia Mian has heard a lot about Eric's deeds, and all of them are big scenes. Who doesn't know about the Brotherhood?

On the other hand, the Mutant Chamber of Commerce is much more low-key.

The weather was bad, and there was only a little bit of snow just now, but now it was snowing heavily, and the only thing that could avoid the snow had just been destroyed in Eric's hands.

The white crystals fell one after another, landing on the black hair and eyelashes, and the slender eyelashes were overwhelmed and blinked lightly, and the dark eyes under the eyelashes showed a consistent smile.

Unfathomable.

"It seems that I am ignorant when you say that, Eric, you and I have a clear stand. I don't have noble principles like Charles, and I don't violate the river. You have targeted me aggressively this time. The battle is so big, but Scary."

Xia Mian glanced lightly at Eric's hand tightly holding her arm, and said softly and sweetly, "You like me..."

Eric paused for breath.

"You still want to declare war with me?"

Eric's voice was rough: "Hey, you know..."

Stop talking halfway through.

He frowned tightly, his eyes depressed.

The biggest difference between Eric and Charles is that Charles can accept all tragedies and embarrassments, and his heart and soul are full of tolerance and hope.

But Eric didn't want to accept it, he wanted to fight.

As a result, Eric is burdened with pain and contradictions that ordinary people cannot bear, unable to digest himself, and can only be in the second world.

But poor people must have something to hate.

Xia Mian doesn't want to sympathize with him, this man doesn't need sympathy, sympathy is the greatest insult to him.

"It's very cold here. If there is any conflict, we can sit down and drink tea while talking. I am very good at talking."

Eric pursed his lips, the corners of his lips were vaguely sarcasm, "You? About Nepal..."

"Well, I'm not good at talking."

Xia Mian interrupted Eric again, "Then you have nothing else to look for me? If not, let's break up."

other?

Eric was silent.

Charles was right that he was not good with words.

Eric, for example, wanted to see her, but couldn't say that.

Especially when he was facing a woman who smiled on the surface and was indifferent in her heart.

When did he notice it, Eric had forgotten, and when he suddenly realized, they were already far away.

How could he like her?

Eric couldn't figure it out, there was nothing good about this woman who was insidious and cunning.

They're not even friends.

Xia Mian saw Eric's brows furrowed tightly, guessing that the scrap metal collector had fallen into her own philosophical world again, she tried to break her hands free from his shackles.

"Come on, I owe you what happened in Nepal."

Xia Mian was not in a good mood, "I got a new batch of medicine and weapons, and they are on the way. If you are interested, please leave an address, and I will send you some."

Fraternity is pretty poor.

Unlike the Mutant Chamber of Commerce, it is utterly rich.

Eric subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he held back the harsh words he was about to say.

He changed his expression, "It's hard to get medicine for mutants, are you in collusion with Hydra?"

aestivation:"……"

Eric: "...?"

Collude.

Eric was completely cool with this word.

The atmosphere between the two became extremely tense for a moment.

Until Tang Yue and several mutants arrived here, Xia Mian put away her disgust and returned to a business-like attitude, polite and alienated.

This expression again...

Eric didn't want to see Xia Mian's expression, it was very annoying.

This woman is disgusting from head to toe.

The way she looked at him, the words she said to him.

Her fake smile.

All disgusting.

The aura around Eric was a little unstable.

Tang Yue rushed over from a distance and called "Boss".

Xia Mian just wanted to respond when she looked back, but her vision suddenly turned dark, her warm breath approached, a little tight, Xia Mian retreated subconsciously, but Eric's movements were fast, he leaned slightly, and kissed her the moment Xia Mian left lips.

fleeting.

But that soft touch feels like a branding.

Eric touched his mouth in a daze, and suddenly flew away.

Leaving aestivation alone in the ice and snow.

Tang Yue's pace gradually slowed down, he stopped behind Xia Mian, his eyes turned away from Eric's back, the warmth on his smiling face disappeared for the first time, he said: "Boss, do you want to chase him?"

Xia Mian did not answer Tang Yue's question immediately.

half an hour.

Xia Mian turned around.

Seeing Xia Mian's expression, Tang Yue couldn't help but shudder, lowered his eyes unconsciously, and listened quietly to his orders.

Xia Mian's expression was terrifying.

"What are you chasing him for? You can talk about it after you can catch up."

Xia Mian clenched her hands, and suddenly smiled, "Order down, arrest everyone who sees Brotherhood, isn't our Chamber of Commerce investing in mining recently? Let them mine."

Tang Yue: "...Yes."

Eric, you're in for a big deal.

The biggest reason why Xia Mian didn't fight Eric was because of Eric's ability to manipulate metal.

The composition of the hut is metal.

It can change into any form. If Aestivation is really hard, it can hurt Eric, but it will hurt the hut a lot.

The hut is a weapon left to her by her grandfather.

But so many years have passed.

Huts are more than just weapons.

"Master, I can beat him..."

The cottage muttered unwillingly.

Xia Mian twirled the bracelet, "Good boy, I still have a lot of places to use you."

It's okay, it's a long time coming.

In this world, the strength of force is not the only strength.

Do you want to try the taste of being chased and intercepted by all over the world?

Aestivation's own strength is not high, but it is also for those who stand at the top, not to mention, there are very few opportunities for Aestivation to fight in recent years.

A real boss never has blood on his hands.

Leaving aside Eric's Brotherhood being targeted by the Chamber of Mutants for running around.

Logan came back from the Himalayas with a batch of medicine and weapons.

He was stopped outside the door, and Tang Yue said that the boss was receiving guests.

"guest?"

Tang Yue: "Professor Xavier."

do not know.

Logan didn't wait at the door, put the things in the warehouse, and went back to his room to rest.

The headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce is a six-story ancient building.

Logan's room was on the second floor. He opened the door and entered. The windows were open for ventilation. The room was clean and tidy, obviously cleaned frequently. He thought that according to how much the boss hated him, his room should be full of cobwebs.

Logan took a shower, changed his clothes, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

He hasn't slept well for days.

The reception room on the third floor.

"I asked someone to bring tea from China, try it."

Xia Mian was wearing a dark green Hanfu cardigan, a long white skirt with bamboo leaves embroidered on the cuffs, and her black hair was tied up with a hairpin.

She picked up the teapot and poured hot tea soup on the tea pet. The place where the earth-colored tea pet was soaked in the tea became colorful. After several procedures, the tea soup was put into the cup, and the color was very beautiful.

Charles likes to drink tea, but this hobby was also developed by him through aestivation.

He took a sip, and before that, they had been talking for half an hour, but they didn't talk about the business.

I don't know when, Xia Mian evaded Charles's involvement in the chamber of commerce.

"Mian, Eric came to you a few days ago because of the previous things in Nepal?"

And Charles couldn't brain aestivate.

He didn't know what Xia Mian was thinking.

"Ah."

Xia Mian put the teapot on the table, "Charles, how about the tea this time? If you like it, bring some when you go back."

"Your recent movements are too loud, Mian, which will attract other people's attention."

The Mutant Chamber of Commerce has always kept a low profile, made money in silence, and integrated into the society. Xia Mian's noodle restaurant is still in the catering industry, and only has some sideline food businesses, but the Chamber of Commerce is involved in various fields.

Charles' concerns are justified.

He looked at Xia Mian worriedly, "What happened?"

What happened to make Xia Mian move so much.

Xia Mian took a sip of tea, held her chin, thought for a while, but still couldn't help it, it was too painful to be alone, Xia Mian didn't want to be alone for everything, she curled her lips childishly, "Charles, your old friend dear me."

Charles almost choked on a sip of tea.

"He actually kissed me! Although it was only a fleeting moment, but he met! Charles, you said he likes me, I know, but it doesn't make sense that he likes me, so I have to accept it! That lady has so many admirers , should I accept it?!"

Xia Mian has held her breath until now, and finally spit it out quickly.

"He's so arrogant, Charles, he's about to jump into the sky! No, he can already fly!"

Xia Mian felt wronged.

Time has no trace on her body, and she looks angry like an adolescent child throwing a tantrum.

Charles was amused.

"That was really Eric's fault."

"I just want to teach him a lesson, who told him to bully me."

Xia Mian rubbed her face, not happy.

Charles said with a smile on his lips: "That's the lesson, do you need my help?"

Xia Mian smiled and said, "That's not necessary, I know that your school has recruited a lot of new mutants, teaching students is enough for you to be busy."

"Well, it's a headache."

Charles squeezed the space between his brows, but there was no impatient expression on his face. He was very gentle, this kind of gentleness was like the sea, comfortable and at ease.

"I'll give you a press."

Xia Mian put down the teacup, wiped her hands, walked behind Charles' wheelchair, put her fingers on Charles' temples, and massaged them gently.

Xia Mian's hands are warm and cool, and he is skillful in sticking to the acupoints.

Xia Mian's smiling eyes gradually became calm from an angle Charles couldn't see.

The chamber of commerce cannot be known by Charles.

After so many years of operation, she finally found a way to pull another timeline into it.

No one could stop her, not even Charles.

It's been too long, so long that Aestivation is a bit lonely.

She hates grandpa a little.

After Charles left, Xia Mian went to the gym to exercise for two hours to vent some negative emotions in her heart. Then she went to the noodle shop, occupied the chef's kitchen, and made noodles by herself for half a day.

Sanxian noodles, oil-splashed noodles, spicy noodles, clear soup noodles, lamb noodles, beef noodles, fried noodles and so on.

The business of noodle restaurants is very good, especially in this era, when most Chinese people immigrated to foreign countries or worked abroad, they can eat the food from their hometown in noodle restaurants, which has both feelings and delicacy.

Xia Mian was sweating all over, and was in a good mood while reading the account book.

To be honest, it's useless to think so much when you're in a bad mood, it's all idle.

"Ah, hut, can I go and catch Lu Qiqi? Open the back door, brother, I really miss her!"

Hut: "...I, I don't know the time and space gate magic."

The hut Zheng Taiyin felt aggrieved and sad softly, it felt that it was so useless, it couldn't help at all.

"Master, the hut is so useless. The hut has been with you for so many years, and I can't help you with anything. The hut is so useless, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh qaq!"

Xia Mian: "...It's okay, I'm just talking, why are you still crying?"

Hut: "Afraid, afraid of being scolded."

Xia Mian: "..." expressionless.

After sweating in the noodle shop, Xia Mian went back to the small building in the middle of the night, but she was refreshed, and greeted Tang Yue with a smile.

Tang Yue almost made a wrong step.

Xiao Mi Mi is most afraid of meeting Xiao Mi Mi.

"Boss, what to do with the weapons and medicines in the warehouse?"

Originally, Xia Mian planned to give half of them to Eric as a favor, but now Xia Mian changed his mind.

"The medicine is used in the chamber of commerce, as for the weapons..."

Xia Mian thought for a while, and said, "Give it to Abley and the others."

Ablee and Beddy aren't just Aestivate's assistants.

Since the development of the Chamber of Commerce, it is impossible to have no flaws. Not all mutants can be controlled, and they can really be united with the Chamber of Commerce.

For the mutants who disagree with each other and "break up" peacefully, Aestivation will give them generous breakup gifts, but for the mutants who betrayed and cheated, used the chamber of commerce or even sold the information of the chamber of commerce, the chamber of commerce will purify them.

Charles is no longer able to ask Xia Mian about the chamber of commerce.

As time passed, the chamber of commerce had grown beyond his control.

Tang Yue is still the same as before, he will do whatever Xia Mian tells him to do, he can do anything without taboo.

Christmas is approaching.

Xia Mian released a message to let the mutants who had no missions return to the chamber of commerce. Xia Mian and several chefs in the branch personally cooked the Christmas Eve meals.

Logan spent Christmas at headquarters this year.

"Other people eat potato pie at Christmas, while our family eats braised fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised chicken, fish-flavored eggplant, Buddha jumping over the wall twice-cooked pork, deep-fried prawns, steamed crab and lion head tofu soup...By the way, do you eat pig brains and braised chicken feet?"

Abby and Beddy shook their heads.

Tang Yue, who was passing by, interjected: "I'll eat, thank you boss for cooking."

The corner of Xia Mian's mouth twitched: "You just know how to open your mouth and go hang the Christmas tree!"

"Where's Logan!"

Xia Mian was catching laborers everywhere, and Logan was so strong that he couldn't escape. She caught Logan in the gym.

In the winter, he only wore a vest, and his arms were used as tensioners. Every time he stretched, the muscles on his arms bulged, and the veins under his skin burst out. Slipping, drop after drop.

The oncoming male hormones and the pressure of Tarzan.

Although he doesn't practice, his muscles still kill a large group of people in seconds.

Xia Mian admired it for a few minutes, until Logan finished one order, picked up the towel on the shelf to wipe off his sweat, and silently looked at Xia Mian at the door.

"Come down and help."

"Ah."

Xia Mian: "Can you fold a Christmas hat?"

Logan: "?"

Xia Mian: "It's very simple, there are tutorials."

Xia Mian gave Logan a box of Christmas hats, "Fold them up and wear them to the children later, there may be little ones from Charles's side who will come over for a meal, so keep them."

In daily life, Xia Mian is like an old lady.

The really silly and childish Xia Mian in the chamber of commerce during non-working hours wished he could kick them.

"Lauren!! How dare you steal it!! I haven't settled with you for what happened in Nepal last time!"

Xia Lauren quickly grabbed a chicken leg, took a bite and ran away.

"Abby! Help me! Beddy! My sister is so fierce!!"

Xia Mian's eyes shot at Abby and Beddy.

The well-behaved and capable Abu Libeidi who was suddenly caught up in the upper body immediately explained: "Sister, I have nothing to do with Lauren, I don't know each other, I haven't met, I don't know!!"

Lauren: ...Plastic Brotherhood.

The small building is very lively. It is snowing outside the window. It always snows every Christmas. Pure white snowflakes fall in the dark night sky, embellishing the chaotic world.

Outside the small building, a person appeared under the tree at the intersection. The bare tree trunk could not cover much snow, and his body was covered with a thin layer of white. In the night, his metal arms reflected the cold light.
