The Witch's Taste

"...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."

183. Chapter 182 The game between the two sides

Lu Xun once said that when you see a woman's white arms...

Chen Ziang doesn't think he is a so-called "gentleman" whose imagination can leap forward infinitely, but the scene he saw just now is so impactful that he really can't forget it for a long time.

So there's no need for an infinite leap of the imagination at all, okay?

Chen Ziang went to the refrigerator to get barley tea, poured himself a full cup, poured it down to reduce the fire.

Refreshing.

Then I did dozens of push-ups on the living room floor.

Let off steam.

In the end, he stared at his sister's face for a long, long time.

Have no evil thoughts in your heart.

The sound of water finally came from the bathroom, and the water supply should have been restored.

Chen Ziang, who had adjusted his body and mentality, sat silently on the sofa and watched the TV news, thinking about how he should treat Xia Zili when she came out later.

Act like nothing happened?

Said that he was looking elsewhere and didn't pay attention?

Although I saw it, you covered it well without any dew point. That kind of exposure can be broadcast in TV dramas or movies, unless it may be more dangerous in web novels?

After much deliberation, I decided to see Xia Zili's reaction after coming out, and then make a plan.

After waiting for a long time, before the other party came out of the bath, Chen Ziang on the sofa could only keep looking back in the direction of the bathroom, thinking that it must be because I accidentally saw him, and his mental cleanliness broke out, and he is cleaning his body vigorously now, right?

Just thinking about it, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

Chen Ziang turned his head like lightning, pretending to be watching TV.

On the TV screen, the boss of Dijing Group was standing on the podium, drawing various pies for the unemployed miners who were crowded below.

But his mind was not on the TV at all, he only heard the rustling sound of dressing from behind.

Afterwards, Xia Zili, who had changed her clothes, came to the living room and sat beside him, watching TV without blinking.

She was wearing light pajamas, and her skin was rosy after being washed by hot water, like a fresh and lovely peach. After looking at it for a long time, she felt the urge to "touch, bite, and lick". But at this time, her face was extremely focused, and she was just staring at the screen.

What kind of reaction is this?

Chen Ziang was a little uncertain, wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and started to talk about any topic, but was worried that if he opened his mouth, the other party would say "my sister has never seen my body", and directly brutally slaughtered the conversation.

"Chen Ziang, do you believe in parallel universes?" Xia Zili asked suddenly.

Chen Ziang: ……………

I remember that Suzuna seemed to ask me the same question... By the way, she asked what would you do if you could go back in time.

"What kind of parallel universe?" Chen Ziang also watched the TV, trying to keep his tone casual.

"It's just..." Although Xia Zili didn't look back, she seemed to be peeking at him out of the corner of her eye, "For example, we are friends in this universe, right?"

"But in the parallel universe, we may not know each other and have no intersection; we may be childhood sweethearts who have known each other for a long time; we may even be... a closer relationship..."

"Oh." Chen Ziang nodded and said, "If no proof is needed, then of course anything is possible."

"I'm actually." Xia Zili said hesitantly, "I often have this type of strange dream..."

"I see." Chen Ziang suddenly realized, "This is not your fault."

It must be the "mother consciousness" hiding in her dream again!

Last time I failed in the bedroom, but this time I controlled Xia Zili to open the bathroom, deliberately creating ambiguity between us!

Xia Zili didn't know what Chen Ziang "understood", but the courage she finally mustered up quickly disappeared after being interrupted.

Chen Ziang continued to think, wondering if there was any way to get rid of this "mother" in her body.

Of course, not to kill.

Because Xia Zili can see her mother herself, if she treats it as weird, she will definitely not be able to accept this kind of thing.

But at least there must be countermeasures, neither let her murder Xia Zili, nor let her control her daughter's body, and then do some messy things.

Xia Zili watched the TV, only to hear the news host asking the invited experts:

"Then there are some common voices among the people, who believe that if the mining ships of the Bacht Group are allowed to conduct mining tests, the cost of mining deep deposits can be reduced, thereby saving the employment of a large number of our miner families."

"Then Professor Zhang, can you analyze whether there is such a possibility?"

"Well, thank you for the invitation from Ping An News." The gray-haired old professor said, "I know that everyone is very concerned about the reemployment of these unemployed miners, but it may not be a more appropriate way to use the elves' interstellar mining ships."

"First of all, the interstellar mining ship is used to mine asteroids, so there is no need to worry about damage to the surface. In fact, it makes a lot of noise during the mining process and produces a lot of smoke and dust, which will cause very serious damage to the surrounding living environment. There are even many records of earthquakes in history."

"Secondly, the mining ship is leased by the Bacht Group. It is signed every ten years, and the lease fee is also very expensive. Dijing Group needs to pay a large sum of money at one time. Where does the money come from? It may be necessary to reduce personnel or clear the equipment to make up the money. Does that exacerbate the unemployment situation?"

"In the end, we in Gaotianyuan do not have the technology of the interstellar mining ship. What problem does this cause? The lifeblood of technology is in the hands of others. The Dijing Group gave up mining and chose to lay off employees, and our government can still intervene; what if the Bacht Group wants to take back the mining ship in the future? If they die, the miners will still lose their jobs, and we can't find the Bacht Group to intervene. The elves are foreign companies and ignore us."

"Well." The host was clearly prepared, and concluded, "It seems that using mining ships to solve the employment problem in the mining industry seems to be just drinking poison to quench thirst. In the final analysis, it is still necessary to carry out industrial transformation and upgrading, rather than putting all eggs in the same basket."

"So is that so?" Xia Zili asked in a low voice, "Can mining ships not solve the unemployment problem?"

"It's hard to say." Chen Ziang said with a sigh, "The Bakht mining ship has no record of mining on colonized planets before, so it's hard to say what the test results will be. We can only guess based on the data."

"But the problem now is that these unemployed miners will definitely use the Bacht mining ship as a lifeline."
