The Witch's Taste

Chapter 181 The Power of Habit

The taxi passed through the Higurashi District smoothly, but when it arrived in the Gunma District, it was stopped by security officers from the traffic department.

Fortunately, they are acquaintances.

Chen Ziang greeted the other party and got the release smoothly.

As for Xia Zili next to him, although she was fully armed and did not show her face, she could be identified as a woman from her figure, so there was no need to check her identity.

Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the driver hadn't noticed the seriousness of the situation outside, and while restarting the car, he muttered:
"Why are there so many drunk driving investigations recently?"

Finally arriving at Tonegawa Road, the two paid the fare and got off the bus. They saw the intersection ahead, and there were also traffic officers checking the identities of pedestrians.

Gunma District, as the northern administrative district directly connected to Shinjuku District, has been classified as an object of focus on security prevention—a good thing, but also a bad thing.

The good thing is that there are enough law and order staff, but the bad thing is that it is likely to be affected by the turmoil in Shinjuku.

Of course, the unemployed miners have just arrived in Extreme North City today, and most of them may still be dreaming of "I will go to the gate of Dijing Group, and maybe the resettlement fee will be paid", so they haven't started making trouble yet.

Even the vast majority of the people don't know that Dijing Group has run out of money.

Chen Ziang took precautions, first sent Xia Zili home, and then ran to the nearest convenience store to buy a lot of ingredients and emergency supplies.

In this way, if the same kind of trouble happened last time and the traffic was paralyzed, he could stay at home and watch over his sister without risking going out.

After carrying the things home, Chen Zi'ang first locked the yard gate, then closed the front of the house, and locked it from the back as well.

Put on slippers in the hallway, enter the living room, and saw Xia Zili answering the phone:
"...Yes, that's right...Okay, I'm not in Sanhe District, don't worry, Sister Ji Xiang..."

She finally hung up the phone, Chen Ziang immediately asked:
"what happened?"

"People in the circle have heard the news." Xia Zili replied, "Sanhe District, Shinjuku District, and Ping'an District, the three core areas of Jibei City are not safe anymore, and everyone is running to Jinchuan District."

There is a hot lake in Jinchuan District. If you take a cruise ship to hide on Qiandao, you will not be affected by any turmoil at all. These people in the entertainment industry are really good at picking places.

Chen Ziang felt emotional, but he didn't intend to change his position.

Those entertainers may have mansions everywhere, but he and Xiaozhu have only one home—the old house left by their parents.

Chen Ziang checked the living room and the second floor one by one, and closed all the curtains on each window.

In fact, strictly speaking, even if someone happens to break into the house, it is impossible for him, an old operator, to be his opponent.

But the younger sister is powerless, so there is no shortage of preparations that should be made, and the most important thing is to be careful.

Back in the living room, Chen Ziang browsed the phone messages again, confirmed that the current situation had not changed, and greeted Xia Zili, saying:
"I'm going to the kitchen to prepare dinner."

"I'll help you." Xia Zili volunteered.

"Can you cook?" Chen Ziang asked in surprise.

"I can try." Xia Zili replied.

He must have never done cooking.After all, since I was a child, my five fingers have never touched the spring water, and I have never been short of money in my life. Unless it is a hobby, who will learn to cook?

But in the memory, there are some vague married life... I have become a housewife, not a clumsy novice in the kitchen.

Besides, if you really encounter any problems, you can go to your mother for help!
"Peel the loofah, and slice it?" Chen Ziang asked, "You can also look it up online."

"Okay." Xia Zili took the loofah, washed it and put it on the chopping board, ready to peel it.

Chen Ziang worked in front of the gas stove for a while, then turned his head quickly, and saw that although Xia Zili's saber technique was not fast, it was extremely precise and skillful.

This girl...has never cooked before?I do not believe.

The kitchen force has already killed Suzuna, okay?
Putting the loofah into the pot to make egg drop soup, Chen Ziang decided to give her a more difficult task: deboning chicken legs.

He cooks the curry cubes himself, while chopping carrots and potatoes.I saw Xia Zili next to him, chopping off the cartilage connecting the fascia of the chicken leg with a single knife, and then skillfully peeled the chicken leg meat along the bone like orange slices, with an easy and elegant movement.

"Have you really never cooked before?" Chen Ziang asked in disbelief.

"... I guess I've done it." Xia Zili said with a guilty conscience.

"As expected, I was not mistaken." Chen Ziang said pleasantly, "I helped a lot this time, Zili."

"I'll leave the loofah egg drop soup to you, and I'll take care of the curry rice."

When the soup was almost cooked, Xia Zili scooped up a little with a spoon, tasted it, and added a little salt.

"Chen Zi'ang, taste the saltiness." She subconsciously said, and then suddenly realized.

We divide labor and cooperate in the kitchen like this, like a newly married couple, exactly the same as the scene in memory...

Thinking of it this way, I just feel that my whole body is hot and sweaty, and even the range hood can't suck away the heat from my chest.

His cheeks are probably flushed, I hope he doesn't see it... Just, let's say it's stuffy, yes.

Chen Ziang didn't notice that much, he just took a sip from the spoon:
"Add more salt."

"Okay." Xia Zili said in response.

The two cooperated with each other, and the cooking speed was indeed much faster, and Chen Ziang even had a strange illusion, as if Xia Zili was like his wife who had been cooking with him for many years.

Finally, when they were done, Chen Ziang brought the food to the dining table, while Xia Zili picked up the spoon and began to serve the three of them.

She didn't even need to ask, she had grasped Chen Zi'ang's appetite from her memory, it was not too much or too little.

When he came to the dining table, Chen Ziang was about to feed his sister, when he saw Xia Zili sitting beside Chen Xiaozhu holding a small bowl.

Needless to say, hello!
In fact, my younger sister doesn't like vegetables very much, but under Xia Zili's coaxing, she obediently ate them all, whether it was loofah or carrots.

Chen Ziang, who was watching, was filled with emotion, thinking that I failed to feed her vegetables before. It should not be that our brother and sister are not emotional enough, but that the charm of the idol star is too great.

After eating, Chen Ziang was going to watch the news on the sofa, when he heard Xia Zili say:

"I'm going to the bathroom to take a shower."

"Then I'll get you a change of clothes."

He went to the second floor to get his clothes and was about to put them at the door of the bathroom when the door suddenly opened.

"Why doesn't it seem like there is no water?" Xia Zili, naked, held a towel in her left hand and casually pressed it on her chest to cover up the violation, while holding the doorknob with her right hand, she subconsciously opened the door and went out to ask Chen Ziang.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

Xia Zili, who finally came to his senses, shrank back quickly like a little turtle shrinking its shell, and quickly closed the bathroom door.

Too bad...

She sat down on the toilet lid and covered her face with her hands, whimpering in embarrassment.

Although the memory fragments in those dreams could help her show off her skills in the kitchen, they also subtly changed part of her cognition-the self who had been a wife for many years in the dream did not feel any scruples about showing her body to her husband.

But that is not reality!

I haven't married him yet, and I haven't even established a relationship yet!

Zili, Zili, come up with a reasonable explanation, otherwise you will be treated as a frivolous girl!
For a moment, it seemed as if thousands of fireworks exploded in her mind at the same time, and it seemed like countless thoughts were being crazily stirred in a pickle jar, making it impossible for her to think properly.

Why don't you put on your clothes first and escape through the bathroom window...

"Xia Zili?" Chen Ziang knocked on the bathroom door.

"Don't come in!" Xia Zili shouted hastily.

"I put your clothes on the stool by the door for you." Chen Ziang replied, "I read the text messages on my mobile phone, and the community said that the water supply pipes were repaired urgently, and the supply will not be restored until 6 o'clock in the evening."

"Okay, then I'll wait." Xia Zili said tremblingly.

"Why don't you change your clothes first, then come out and wait. Don't catch a cold." Chen Ziang said in a nonchalant tone.

Pretend nothing happened.

"It's okay, there is a Yuba inside." Xia Zili held her chest, trying to resist gravity, "I'll wait here."
