The female ghost lady watched him pouring tea in silence.

She remembered that he did not have the habit of drinking tea at night, and she had never seen this teapot in the room before when she came here, which meant that he specially prepared this tea tonight.

In the darkness, the tea cup was filled with steam.

Obviously this is a pot of tea that has been brewed for a while.

This means that he has already calculated the time for her to come.

Xia Zhi put down the teapot, picked up the teacup, and offered it to her with both hands according to Liyue's etiquette.

"The tea is not good, please forgive me."

As his voice fell, in her world, the originally tasteless heat suddenly became fresh and pleasant, and traces of the unfamiliar yet familiar fragrance of tea came to her nostrils.

The female ghost lady stared straight at the cup of hot tea in front of her, swallowed, and finally broke the silence.

"Thank you."

She spoke softly and took the cup of tea with both hands.

Each other's fingers touched in the process.

One side is warm...

One side is cold...

The ghost lady's body froze again, and she suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Zhi in front of her, with a look of disbelief on her face.

"You...can actually touch me?!"

"You can touch it, but the girl's fingers are cold. Is this strange?"

"Of course, how can ordinary people touch ghosts? Ghosts are not zombies. Ghosts have no body... Is your surname really Xia?"

"Well, my surname is Xia Mingzhi."

"Then do you have any relatives named Hu?"

"……No."

The female ghost lady couldn't help but fell into confusion, muttering to herself alone, saying something that was impossible. Is there any other special physique that can deal with ghosts? Which tribe's bloodline was lost outside...

Xia Zhi didn't understand, so he shook his head and turned to the closet, took out the piece of incense he put in from the second compartment, put it in the incense burner and lit it.

A strange fragrance wafted out that was soothing and soothing to ghosts.

The female ghost lady slowly calmed down after smelling the fragrance, picked up the teacup in her hand, and took a sip.

The hot and fragrant tea slides over the mouthpiece.

The female ghost lady sighed with some nostalgia: "The new tea from Qiaoyingzhuang..."

Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Exactly. Didn't you expect that the girl is also a tea lover?"

The female ghost lady shook her head: "I don't like drinking tea, but I have drunk Qiaoyingzhuang's new tea a few times. I think it tastes better than ordinary tea, so I have a deep memory of it. I didn't expect that after so many years, its taste will change." It’s never changed.”

Xia Zhi nodded: "That's it. I haven't asked the girl for her name yet..."

The female ghost lady hesitated for a moment and said, "My surname is Hu. As for my original name, it's inconvenient to mention it. Mr. Xia can call me Akabane."

"The surname is Hu... I wonder what the relationship between Miss Akabane and Master Hutao is?"

"I have a deep connection with her..."

She didn't want to say more, and Xia Zhi didn't want to ask further.

After chatting for a while, he saw that the tea in her cup had reached the bottom, and he picked up the teapot and refilled it for her.

Seeing that he had just filled the tea cup without overflowing, Akabane couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xia, are you really blind?"

"I can't see anything for the time being, but I can feel it a little bit."

"Mr. Xia should have discovered me a long time ago, right?"

"I noticed it after I moved here, but seeing that Miss Akabane didn't drive me away like the rumors, I didn't pay much attention to it."

"Is that so..."

"Later I saw that Qiqi liked the smell of incense, and I realized that it might be because of this, so I would light some every night."

“Mr. I wouldn't get angry and scare them away until I went to bed during the day. Hutao was also helpless about this. Originally, she wanted to buy the house directly when she had enough money, but she didn't expect that Mr. Xia would suddenly appear. Come……"

"It's so..."

Xia Zhi burst out laughing, feeling that things in the world were really wonderful.

"It's just that the tea is a bit bland. How about I add some refreshments to Miss Akabane."

"refreshments?"

"Well, I happened to make some sweet-scented osmanthus cake this afternoon."

Xia Zhi bent down, picked up a food box from the ground beside the table, opened it, and took out a plate of neatly arranged sweet-scented osmanthus cakes.

"Please use."

As his voice fell, the originally tasteless osmanthus cake suddenly became fragrant and attractive.

Akabane stared straight at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, swallowed, and asked, "How did Mr. Xia do it?"

"I don't know what's going on, I can do it as long as I think about it."

"Such a thing... I have never heard of it in all my life..."

"Miss Akabane, don't think too much. If you want to eat, just come over to my place and eat. I will make more."

"This……"

Chi Yu was silent for a moment and looked at Xia Zhi, wondering why he was so kind to her. She was in a different way from others and they were not old acquaintances.

"Mr. Xia, why?...Those incense must be very precious, right?"

"You ask why? It's simple. Because you are my first reader. I am very happy about it, so I just want to be good to you."

"what?"

Chapter 154 Hu Tao is not young anymore

First reader…

This reason is very reasonable.

Mr. Xia can no longer see, but he still insists on writing books, which shows how much he likes to write books and how much he longs for the books he writes to be liked and recognized by others.

In this situation, she suddenly appeared and became the first reader to read his book. She also came over every night to silently follow up on the book. He must have been very touched by this incident, so he lit it up for her every night so preciously. of incense...

That's really reasonable.

But the problem is that the content in the front of the book is okay, but when it comes to the back...the back...

Akabane was stunned for a moment, and then her soul began to slowly turn red.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little ambiguous.

Xia Zhi said with a smile: "I have sent that book to Liyue Publishing House for signing. The editor said it will be printed at the end of next month. Then I will give you a signed version of the new book."

Akabane lowered his head and whispered: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xia."

She thought that the book would have to be hidden by then, so that Hu Tao could not accidentally discover it, otherwise her image as a senior would be shattered.

"Miss Akabane, eat osmanthus cake."

"okay."

"how is the taste?"

"It's delicious! Mr. Xia's cooking skills are so good!"

"Thanks for the compliment. Eat more if you like."

The tea is sweet and delicious, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake is soft, glutinous and fragrant. The two are a perfect match.

Akabane ate the last piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, drank the tea in the cup, and said with a satisfied look on his face: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for your hospitality! It's already very late, I'll go back now, so as not to disturb Mr. Xia's rest."

"I'll make an extra breakfast tomorrow morning. Can Miss Akabane come over to eat?"

Akabane hesitated for a second and nodded in agreement.

"Ok."

She said good night, walked through the wall, and returned to the Hall of Rebirth.

Xia Zhi glanced at the incense that was still burning quietly in the incense burner and shook his head with a smile.

Miss Akabane no longer even cares about incense. It seems that she likes delicious food more than incense.

In this way, I can save some soothing incense in the future.

Longevity, longevity...

Like Miss Akabane, she is helpless and doesn't know what it's like. In the end, even her sanity and memory will be slowly worn away by time. In fact, there is nothing good about it.

Xia Zhi put away the plates and teapot and went to bed.

The next morning, Zhuzi bought some fresh chicken legs and wings from the market.

It's Thursday and it's time to make fried chicken.

Qi Qi had also come to the store at this time. She had also changed her clothes. She might have accidentally soiled them while collecting herbs in the mountains last night.

Breakfast was preserved egg and lean meat porridge. Considering the addition of Qiqi and Akabane, Xia Zhi cooked two more cups of rice, making a big pot full.

It is paired with fried dough sticks, which are large and freshly fried dough sticks. They are golden and crispy on the outside, fluffy and soft on the inside, and have a very attractive aroma.

Xia Zhi "looked" at Zhu Zi, who was standing eagerly behind the stove, and smiled.

"Zhuzi, go get five big bowls and help me scoop the porridge."

"Okay! Huh? Boss, shouldn't there be four bowls for the four of us?"

"I have a friend coming to eat with me later."

"Oh!"

Xia Zhi said as he walked to the wall, raised his hand and tapped on the wall a few times.

Zhu Zi and Shen He watched, somewhat curious.

Qiqi blinked her eyes, as if she thought of something.

After a while, a beautiful elder sister came out of the wall, looked at everyone and said hello with a smile: "Good morning, Mr. Xia, Qiqi, and the two ladies."

Qiqi nodded and responded softly: "Good morning, Sister Akabane."

Zhuzi looked blank, as if he had seen something incredible.

Shen He's eyes narrowed slightly, looking her up and down.

Xia Zhi introduced the two employees: "This is Miss Akabane. She lives in the Rebirth Hall next door. As you can see, her identity is quite special. She is a ghost."

"ghost!"

"Don't be afraid, Zhuzi, Miss Akabane won't eat people."

"Then what does she eat?"

"Just like us, eat preserved egg, lean meat porridge and fried dough sticks."

"Oh……"

Zhuzi looked at Miss Akabane with a strange look on her face as she picked up a bowl of porridge, took a bite, and then showed the familiar expression of enjoyment on her face that said, "What the hell is this? It's so delicious."

She felt that the original ghost image in her heart was completely shattered.

"Okay, stop standing around. Let's go get your porridge and eat it. There are also fried dough sticks. These won't taste good when they get cold."

"it is good!"

Because the shop is not open yet, there is no need to worry about the customers. Akabane followed to the front hall and sat at the table to have breakfast with everyone.

This was something she hadn't experienced in a long time.

Of course, this is not important.

What matters is that she is eating again now.
