I'm the former civilized Yingjie

"When I met Hua, I was about the same age as Ling. I have already accumulated experience. As a kid, just praise her more. Don't worry, I will become friends with Ling soon."

Sakura took a breath, completely unable to connect the gentle man in front of her with the cold executioner in the desert.

I can't understand, I really can't understand...

1 Sakura’s Meal

The apartment is well decorated and can be moved in with just one bag. Some cardboard boxes are piled in the living room. It is obvious that the sisters have just moved in and have not had time to pack them up.

The wall looked empty, but some photos had been placed, all of which were photos of sisters.

Sakura stood in the kitchen, gently slicing potatoes with a kitchen knife. Each slice was two millimeters, and there was no mistake. She didn't even look at the cutting board, she just cut blindly while secretly observing the situation in the living room.

There was a cartoon playing on the TV, and Ryan hid behind the rabbit doll and spoke in his voice, "Mr. Rabbit's Big Questions and Answers," and "Mr. Rabbit's World Travel Diary," which made Ling giggle and listen carefully.

He didn't lie, he was really good at dealing with children.

Because her parents are away and she rarely goes back, Ling rarely makes friends, and she doesn't like to deal with strangers. She seems to be wary of everything. When she brought Ryan here, she was a little worried that Ling would annoy him. .

The result was unexpectedly good.

She couldn't understand Ryan more and more because the first impression this man gave her was too profound.

With unparalleled strength and decisive methods, he took away the lives of more than a dozen people without blinking an eye, as if he was a born executioner.

Even if things changed later because of Velvet's relationship, the reputation of a killing machine could never be escaped.

'Then this killing machine is sitting in my living room, playing house with Ling? '

She felt that the world was a little crazy, and the light yellow walls and fabric sofas made the atmosphere more warm. Anyone who saw this scene would think they were an ordinary family of three.

"Sister, when is dinner ready?"

The clear child's voice brought Sakura back to her senses, and she quickly replied: "I'll make the curry in 10 minutes. I'll clear the table first, and then remember to wash my hands."

This scene was all seen by Ling. She turned around and covered her mouth slyly: "Brother Ryan, I have never seen my sister like this. Are you two really okay?"

"I told you we're just colleagues, don't think too much about it." Ryan winked and touched it. He found that the bell was quite cute.

He has a lively personality and is a bit precocious.

"But my sister has never brought a colleague home, let alone a boy." Ling pursed her lips and thought hard. Seeing Ryan approaching with claws and teeth, she shrank her head again: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, don't scratch me. itch!"

"Humph, that's pretty much it." Ryan stood up slowly with his hands on his hips, looking like he was victorious, "You watch TV for a while, and I'll help your sister cook."

"Brother Ryan, are you protecting the world secretly?"

Suddenly, these words came from behind. Ryan turned his head and saw the girl staring closely at the TV screen, which was playing the most popular animation.

It was a cartoon invested by Fire Chaser Moth. The theme was that the hero was fighting against the monster. Of course the hero was the Fire Chaser Moth warrior and the monster was Honkaimon. It also included some popular science on how to take refuge and how to escape.

Sometimes, Fire Chaser Moth is quite reliable.

Back in front of him, Ryan knew what Ling had guessed. How could anyone travel frequently and inculcate the concept of defense? Looking at the girl's fair profile, he thought of Hua.

Both of them want to get close to the person they care about and contribute, but Sakura wants Suzu to live in a normal world out of protection, and her previous job was not honorable in the first place.

He walked over, knelt down, and whispered in the girl's ear: "Of course he is a hero. He is even more powerful than the one in the cartoon, I promise."

My sister is a hero?

Suzuya didn't know why, but she believed Ryan's words. There was a bit more excitement in her eyes, and she nodded repeatedly to Ryan who made a silent gesture, indicating that she wanted to keep this secret.

Children are so easy to deceive. Sakura was really not a hero before, but after she cooperated with me, she was obviously saving humanity.

He walked to the kitchen and saw that Ying had already cut the vegetables and was putting a bunch of food into the pot to stew. The curry she cooked by herself smelled of honey and milk.

When he was in the desert town, Ryan tasted Sakura's craftsmanship and knew that she was very good at her craftsmanship, but she really didn't look like a killer.

The girl wore an apron and tied her pink hair into a ponytail. In addition to being shrewd and capable, she also had a bit of Yamato Nadeshiko's virtuous character.

In fact, he was also surprised by what Sakura showed. At least the girl at this moment had nothing to do with the killer, which confirmed Alicia's words.

Only through constant contact can humans understand each other.

Ryan's eyes couldn't escape Sakura's eyes, and while waving the spatula, he replied: "In the past, Ling was very picky about food, so I would cook food for her in different ways. Later, I found out that I am quite talented."

"You are already quite professional. Let me help too." Ryan put on his apron and saw Sakura's shocked expression. "Don't be so surprised. Strength is only one aspect and does not represent my entire life."

"It's your strength that impressed me so much." Sakura's tone was slightly softer, and she smiled quietly: "Of course, I still think that cooking is not suitable for you."

"Then watch carefully and don't blink."

Ryan smiled confidently, as if he had stepped into a sacred realm. He first glanced at the vegetables and spices that Sakura bought, and then brushed his fingers over the neatly arranged kitchen knives.

The breath of the strong.

Sakura didn't know why, but an unrelated word came up, and she saw Ryan holding the kitchen knife, performing a brilliant knife trick, holding down a bass, knocking it with the handle to send it home, and then——

Remove the scales, disembowel the fish, use a flat knife to remove the fish meat, and a diamond-shaped knife to reach the fish skin.

Good knife skills.

Sakura was a little convinced when she saw him fetching a basin, cleaning the fish, coating the fish with starch, preparing tomato sauce and other condiments, and pouring half a pot of oil into the pot.

She couldn't help but take a half step back and looked into the pot with some distress: "Are you frying fish? There is too much oil."

"Oh, wide oil is an attitude towards life, it looks good."

Ryan didn't explain. When he saw the fish fried until golden, he took it out decisively and placed it on a plate, leaving only some base oil. He poured in tomato juice and sweet and sour sauce, stirring constantly to avoid burning the pot, and gradually cooked until it thickened.

The room was suddenly filled with a sweet and sour aroma. Yingjian Lane suddenly poured a spoonful of oil into the pot to make the soup brighter.Then turn off the heat, scoop out the red sauce, pour it evenly on the golden fish, and end everything with a handsome ladle.

The fish meat is golden, the sauce is red, and the color is bright. After cutting with a knife, the fish meat is fluffy, like a squirrel's tail.

As an expert, Sakura knew that the taste was unmistakable without having to eat it.

"This is...Chinese cuisine? How come I haven't seen it before?"

"Squirrel fish, a famous Jiangnan dish, doesn't have enough seasoning in the Lion City. I also considered Ling's taste, so I decided to make this sweet and sour version. The difficulty lies in the knife skills, but for you and me, this is not a problem at all." Ryan Wiping his hands, he introduced calmly.

"It can't be that simple. Most people can't control the heat of fried fish." Sakura shook her head. Just looking at the golden color, it must be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The technique is precise to the millimeter.

"It's a pity that I can't use Honkai Impact to add special effects."

"why?"

"Because good food will definitely shine." Ryan grinned, took the plate and left, "Let's go, it's time for dinner."

Why shine?

Sakura was still a little confused, but she quickly came to her senses and couldn't help but smile when she saw the cheering Ling.

Cooking was one thing, but she cared more about Ryan considering her sister's taste, which made her feel better. She didn't even bother to worry about who Ryan was.

Whether he is an executioner or a weirdo, after being in contact with each other for a long time, we find that we get along well with each other. If we think about it any more, we are just asking for trouble.

Squirrel fish, curry and vegetable salad were put on the table. Tonight's meal could be considered a combination of the Three Kingdoms. Ling's eyes lit up. He twisted a piece of squirrel fish and stuffed it into his mouth, and his eyes narrowed.

"It's so delicious, brother Ryan, did you make this??"

Why did you call me brother?

Only then did Sakura notice that her sister had changed her title. She quietly turned her head and saw Ryan smiling.

"Yes, I think you will like the sweet and sour taste."

"It would be great if you could cook it for me every day."

"Hahaha, no problem, you can order whatever you want these days."

"Only a few days?" Ling's expression dimmed a bit. Fortunately, she had long been used to it. Her sister always came back suddenly and left quietly.

For girls, the moment of happiness is extremely precious.

She didn't bother like a naughty child. She ate a spoonful of curry and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction: "Of course, my sister's curry is as delicious as ever."

Sakura, who was feeling a little sour at first, felt better and patted her sister on the head.

"Don't talk, be careful of fish bones."

"Yeah." The girl immediately lowered her head and ate happily.

Seeing Ling's excited look, Sakura was also happy from the bottom of her heart. She had done so many things, and it was all for her. She picked up the chopsticks, twisted a piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

The taste is crispy and tender, and the sweet and sour taste goes straight from the mouth to the heart. The taste is impeccable.

It turns out he really knows how to cook.

Sakura glanced at Ryan next to her, who was enjoying the curry with a satisfied expression, and noticed the doubtful expression in his eyes.

The girl didn't hide anything, she only smiled back. This time the smile came from the heart and then swept around.

The chandelier exuded a yellowish light, the house did not have much decoration, and the meals for the three of them were not very sumptuous. Everything had nothing to do with luxury, but instead made her feel a strange emotion.

It is the warmth that belongs exclusively to 'home'.

She suddenly didn't care what kind of person Ryan was. At least at this moment, she was full of gratitude, and even came up with the idea:

May this moment last forever.

"Why don't you eat?" Ryan put down his spoon and looked at Sakura dazed beside him, thinking that his cooking skills couldn't have declined too much.

The girl turned her head, still maintaining a smile on her face, but her usual cold expression was replaced by something opposite.

It was a downright tenderness.

She put down her chopsticks, crossed her fingers to support her chin, squinted her eyes slightly, and looked at Ling and Ryan who were feasting.

"I suddenly felt a little full."

Chapter 1 You call this art???

The food is not luxurious, and the cooking is not flashy. It even seems a bit ordinary. No one can find anything special about this scene.

This is just an ordinary dinner for a family. At this moment, millions of families around the world are doing the same thing.If we really want to look for some characteristics, it would be that Ryan and Sakura's cooking skills are equally high.

The judge Ling gave a high evaluation, and then asked as seriously as a little adult that the two of them would compete again at breakfast tomorrow.

No one objected to this childish request. Ryan and Sakura only looked at each other and agreed with a smile.

In the evening, the night breeze blows.

While Ling washed the dishes and went back to the room to scratch her head over her homework, Ryan brought two wicker chairs and placed them on the balcony.

The balcony of the apartment is only a few square meters, which can only accommodate two wicker chairs and a round table. Looking at the lights of thousands of houses in the Lion City, Ryan squinted his eyes in contentment.

Compared with the luxurious life of those fire-seeking council members, this is too ordinary, but for people like him, ordinary daily life is precious.

"It's so comfortable." He likes to enjoy the moment. Even though he knows that the fate of Lion City is similar to that of the sea, sooner or later, it does not affect his mood.

Keeping thinking about the destruction of the world is both pretentious and neurotic. Even if a Herrscher appears tomorrow and turns this place into ruins, at least it will be normal tonight.

This kind of thinking can also be applied to Sakura and Ling. Knowing that the final outcome of the two sisters is a great tragedy, then you feel pity and deliberately avoid it, or do you think you are a savior?

No need, since Sakura is already a companion, he just needs to face it with a normal heart.

No need to pretend, face others with your true self. Is this what Alicia calls her 'true self'?

Ryan laughed at himself, he was the same true self, but he was much more complicated than Alicia. He was the one who crushed the poisonous chrysalis, and he was the one who played games with Ling.

Therefore, Sakura's random thoughts are completely unnecessary. For the right person, he doesn't bother to pretend.

Sitting there was a bit boring, so he took out his mobile phone again and logged into the X message rarely.

buzzing.

His phone vibrated immediately. Ever since he joined Fire Chasing Moth, he had been very busy throughout the day. He hadn't used social software for a long time, and then his mailbox was filled with dense unread messages.

"Here, this person is so boring. Has the Honkai Impact not affected her yet?"

Needless to say, Mei Zi had not sent a message for a long time, but the flower-shaped avatar had left more than 200 unread messages.
