Xin Yi

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, with moist water vapor, hazy.

I laughed awkwardly, and asked dryly, "How much do I owe?"

Illumi quoted a sky-high price figure.

The number fell from the sky and made me dizzy.

Me: "Why so many?"

"Didn't throw you outside when you died to revive you in public, and help you solve the employer who ordered to kill you at my house," Illumi's tone was flat, "the medical expenses, food and other expenses when living in my house while recuperating fee, rent."

I was surprised: "That's not so much!"

Illumi of Nailboard raised his head, made a clicking sound, and then said very calmly and naturally: "The rest is the mental damage fee for you to leave without saying goodbye."

Spirit your sister!Lose your sister!

Your nerves are strong enough to hang a cow!

I have a flat mouth, and people who are wronged dare not express objections.

His body was splattered with mud from the fight just now, and he looked dirty.I walked behind Illumi, although I don't know how he is positioned, but I think I will be able to go out by following him (where does this blind confidence come from ==).

"The wound on the body is healed, there is no scar."

"Yeah. It should be a kind of psychic power." I said, "It's so strange that such a disgusting wound can be transformed in the blink of an eye."

"and after."

"Later, I worked at her place." I blinked and tugged at the hem of his clothes. "Hey, what you want to ask is how did I live after I left you?"

Illumi didn't speak, just nailed down a few hypnotic butterflies flying towards us with fluttering wings.

"Tsk tsk," I said with emotion, "It's really rewarding to know you as a friend."

His long eyelashes flickered like the flapping wings of a hypnotic butterfly.His face was dull and ridiculous with the nails fixed on it, but his voice didn't match the manicured face. "Lois." His voice was steady, like the mist in the forest with cold water vapor, "You are an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

I froze for a moment, turning my head not to see his expression.

"I don't believe you don't understand." I couldn't see his expression, but Illumi's voice still came into my ears, calm and calm, "If you didn't understand, you wouldn't be in such a hurry go away."

The atmosphere instantly cooled down.

The clothes on my body were wet and stuck to my body, and when the wind blew, I sneezed several times in a row.

Illumi's footsteps slowed down for a moment, then he reached out and hugged me naturally. When I was 11 years old and I was small, he hugged me like a big teddy bear.

"Let go." I struggled a few times, his arms were firm and warm, with little effort, but I couldn't break free.

"...You want to pretend that you don't know anything." He looked flatly at the muddy road in front of him, "I can also pretend that nothing happened."

There was a faint familiar smell on him, and I didn't struggle anymore.Leaning on his shoulder, looking at the thick fog behind him, it was dense.

He treated me wonderfully, wonderfully, wonderfully.

So good that I dare not ask him to treat me well again.

"Everyone has worked hard. You have crossed the wetland safely." Sadhu said to us standing in front of a small house, "This is the venue for the second test."

Illumi took me back to the exam room and left me alone.

As soon as he stood firmly, he heard Qi Ya's surprised voice: "Lois! How did you become like this!"

"Slow down..." I pulled him aside.

"How did you get like this!" He tugged at my arm, "Is that what happened to that nail freak? I'm going to find him!"

"Don't stop, little ancestor, you're thinking wrong." I pulled back the kitten who was rushing towards Illumi angrily, "I was caught in a trap and lost my way, and then he saved me."

"Really?" He looked at me suspiciously.

"Really, it's better than cooking." I stretched out my hands to tidy up the wet clothes that were covered in mud and messy. The white shirt was ruined into a flowered shirt. The mud on the upper arm fell off after rubbing.

"Really! You know the danger and you still run around!"

I smiled: "Sorry, I made you worry."

"Tch. I'm not worried." Qi Ya curled his lips and turned his head.

A bunch of people blocked the door of the wooden house, chattering too loudly.

"Why is everyone standing outside?"

"I can't get in."

"Qiu!"

Xiaojie who saw Qi Ya again was obviously very excited, and chatted with Qi Ya for a long time before he discovered my existence.

"Lois!"

"Hi, Xiaojie." I waved.

"How did Lois become like this?" Xiaojie's expression instantly became serious, "What happened?"

"It's nothing." I smiled, "I accidentally fell into the trap, but luckily I was rescued."

"The wound on my body should be treated in time, otherwise it will become inflamed." Kurapika noticed the wound on my arm and stretched out his hand.

Reflexively, I took a step back and slapped his hand aside.

Kurapika didn't expect such a reaction from me, and stopped in mid-air.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Sorry," I smiled unnaturally, "I'm not used to people touching my wounds."

"...It's okay, it's okay, Kurapika is a gentleman." Leori smiled obviously deliberately, "I don't mind, right?"

Kurapika nodded, with an embarrassed expression but not annoyed: "Sorry, I was the one to be abrupt."

"Just be careful next time, haha." Xiaojie scratched his head.

"Then, there are band-aids here." Kurapika handed over a pack of unopened band-aids, "If you don't mind, please use this."

"Thank you." I took it.

Xiaojie looked at the small room, "By the way, why can't we go in?"

"It says [noon today, the second test begins]." Qi Ya said, "but there are strange voices coming from inside."

"Like thunder! What the hell are they!" Leorie grinned and covered his swollen face. "The atmosphere is tense."

Kurapika: "Because I don't know what's going to happen. You have to stay alert, you may be attacked at any time."

Xiaojie: "It's noon...it's almost time."

"Squeak - ah"

The warehouse-like door opened, and the candidates secretly guarded themselves.

The duo of big-bellied man + super-shorts beautiful girl debuts.

"Barbecue can have many methods such as burning, braising, baking, frying, etc. Among them, 'burning' belongs to open flame barbecue and is also called direct barbecue; while the others are called indirect barbecue."

"The quality of grilled food is affected by many factors such as the length of grilling time, the mastery of the fire, the choice of grilling equipment, and even the environment at that time. To obtain the best grilling effect, the above factors cannot be ignored. In particular, the control of grilling time and heat is the key."

"This seasoning includes salt, cumin powder, pepper salt, black pepper powder, chili powder, and blending oil. You can also choose different flavors of barbecue sauce according to your preference. Blending oil is indispensable in barbecue. Brush it on the ingredients during the grilling process. , can keep food fresh and tender.”

"Lois knows a lot~" Xiaojie looked at me adoringly.

"Tch." Qi Ya gave me a white look, "Since the words are so nice, then you can bake it yourself."

"I'm leaving you a chance to practice." I sat on the sidelines, watching Qiya busy with two roast pigs by himself.The pork has a fragrant smell after being roasted, and the skin is charred and tender, which is quite delicious.

"It's fine if you don't bake it, but eat it secretly!"

"Qiya, Lois may be hungry, so it's okay to eat a little." The kind-hearted Xiaojie handed me a piece of delicious barbecue, "Lois, try mine."

"Won't the examiner blame such a roasted whole pig with one piece missing?" Leorio asked.

"There are so many, he won't read them one by one, don't worry." I hurriedly stuffed meat into my mouth.

From arriving at the examination room a few days ago to now, I eat so many pieces of hard dry bread every day, and a bird is almost fading out of my mouth!
