What It’s Like Being a Vampire

In fact, before he perceives Xia Libing, Xiang Kun has noticed that there are still a few people he knows in the supermarket. Some of them are friends of friends who have met several times before, and some are meeting points in the same community. The neighbor at the bottom and two former middle school classmates.

However, Xiang Kun didn’t mean to greet him actively. First, he didn’t meet each other, and there was no need to run to others to brush up on his presence. Second, he has changed so much now that even if he meets them, he may not be able to recognize him, and he has to give up. It takes a long time to explain with words and a long conversation, which is tantamount to delaying the time of the two parties; third, unless he had to, he did not want to go home too much for social activities this time. During the time I return, I still want to spend more time with my parents. In the rest of the time, I can explore the "super-sensing state", deduce the derivation of various connection items, and...make five meals for Lao Xia rice.

　　 The two middle school classmates had already checked out and walked out of the supermarket, while Xiang Kun and Xia Libing were still shopping. Normally, they would not meet them.

　　 But Xiang Kun did not intend to greet those he knew. When his multiple senses "subconsciously" collect various information, they still pay attention to the location of these people and their conditions.

And the two middle school classmates who are already husband and wife quarreled when they finished the checkout and walked out of the supermarket. They didn't notice the son who had been led by them and walked over with a small ball. Unconsciously, he has already reached the side of the road, and there is a tendency to continue walking toward the center of the road.

Xiang Kun did not directly see this scene. When the child was walking on the road, he and Lao Xia pushed the trolley to go to the line to check out. From their position, it was impossible to see the outside through the supermarket gate. .

　　 But he basically judged this situation through a variety of perceptual information around the surrounding area, especially sound.

Xiang Kun hesitated for a moment. Because of the lack of intuitive visual information outside the supermarket and on the road, he could not accurately infer the traffic flow for the time being, so as to judge the danger of the child walking on the road, whether his parents or someone next to him would be timely It was discovered that the child was brought in in advance.

Xiang Kun did not regard himself as a superhero, nor did he regard helping others as his own responsibility or obligation, but it was just like seeing the murderer who hurt the young couple with a knife downstairs in a rented house, just like seeing the robbery and murder on the road. The wanted criminals, just like when a trafficker is found in the car in front of him after an accidental rear-end collision, he can do whatever he can and does not harm him.

　　 Otherwise, if something happens to the child, although other people or himself may not blame himself for it, he will always have occasional thoughts of "if at that time" in the future.

　　 After weighing it, Xiang Kun felt that the only possible impact of the shot right now was to make Lao Xia, who was with him, notice an abnormality.

　　 This influence is something he can accept-Lao Xia has noticed enough abnormalities, not bad for this one.

So after Xiang Kun handed the cart to Lao Xia, he quickly walked out of the supermarket. He seemed to weigh many factors, but in fact it took less than half a second. After walking out the door, he saw the two The old classmates who were in a quarrel happened to be blocked by a car parked on the side of the road. They did not see their son standing in the middle of the road holding a ball. On the opposite side of the road, there was a piece of grass. The place is a small park where many children are taken by their parents to play ball.

　　 rushed to Kun quickly, picked up the child and walked back.

　　 Before he rushed into the road, in fact, a van stopped a few meters in front of the child, and the driver was about to drive down.

　　 A little farther away, there is a father holding the child who saw this scene, raising his hand to stop the car behind, and heading to where the child was.

　　 According to Xiang Kun's calculation, even if he did not come out, the child would be safe and sound with the help of others.

　　 Xiangkun nodded to the van driver and the father who was holding the child, and then took the child back to the roadside. He just stopped arguing and found that the child was not with his parents.

　　 "If you want to quarrel, take care of your child first. The child is almost running to the middle of the road, and is still patronizing the quarrel." Xiang Kun gave the child to his mother to hold, while naturally muttering a few words.

　　 The child’s father is also very scared, and he repeatedly blames himself: "Yes, it's my fault. Blame me on me. I shouldn't lose my temper."

　　 The mother who hugged the child tightly also whispered: "I should have been holding my son. It was my fault..." He said, thanking Xiang Kun, "Thank you so much."

　　 Xiangkun smiled and said, "Xiaojie, Wei Zhuo, don't you recognize me, I am Xiang Kun."

It is normal for them not to recognize Xiang Kun now. After all, he has changed so much that he didn’t even recognize them the first time his mother saw them, but it’s impossible for Xiang Kun to recognize them because they didn’t see them until the Spring Festival last year. Variety.

　　 Besides, they will definitely meet again in a few days.

　　 As early as half a month ago, Xiang Kun received a call from a high school student with a good relationship, inviting him to attend a wedding during the Spring Festival.

　　 That classmate used to be at the same table with him for two semesters. The relationship was good. He would meet every year when he came back from vacation. When the wedding was held, he was in Erythrina. Even if he didn't want to participate in social activities, he couldn't not go.

　　 When the time comes, Wei Zhuo and Xiaojie will definitely be there, and they will naturally see him.

　　 "Which Xiangkun..." Wei Zhuo said subconsciously, and then matched Xiangkun's facial features with that of the old classmate in the impression, and said in amazement: "Fuck! Xiangkun!"

　　 The three of them stood in front of the supermarket and didn't talk a few words. The couple suddenly found a tall and beautiful girl who was pushing a trolley and looking at them from a distance. It was a bit strange.

　　 Xiang Kun found out that the two classmates had noticed Lao Xia, so he waved to let Lao Xia come over and introduced him: "This is my friend, I just bought things together in the supermarket."

　　 After a few simple greetings, the two sides bid farewell and separated.

　　 Wei Zhuo and his wife took their children to the parking lot. After Xiang Kunze and Xia Libing returned their carts, they took a few bags and went to the roadside to take a taxi.

　　 "I'm sorry, I asked you to go to the checkout alone. I will pass you how much money." Xiang Kun said to Lao Xia who was standing side by side with him.

　　 "No, treat you like two meals." Xia Libing said simply.

　　 "That's it... OK. But two meals are too few, so many ingredients, let's be three meals."

　　 "Just two meals." Xia Libing said firmly.

"Okay, two meals, just two meals, that means there are three more meals." Xiang Kun immediately realized that although Lao Xia owes him five meals in name, he wants to "invite" him for five meals, but according to Lao Xia and him The actual operation is actually that he "cooked" five meals for Lao Xia.

　　 This is really... you treat, I cook.

On New Year’s Eve, there are still many people who come out to buy things like Xiang Kun and Xia Libing, so taxis are difficult to call, and the cars on the APP are also difficult to call. On the contrary, the buses don’t seem to have many people. Xiang Kunhe Xia Libing moved a few steps directly and got on a bus.

　　 When they got in the car, there was an empty seat. Xiang Kun asked Lao Xia to sit there, then piled all the plastic bags at her feet, and pulled the armrests to protect the plastic bags.

　　 Xia Libing also helped to carefully hold those plastic bags with both feet. After all, they contained noon, evening, and some ingredients for a future meal...

　　 After the bus started, Xiang Kun couldn't help but feel a little dazed. This scene is a bit familiar?

　　 Then he immediately thought that when he went back to Erythrina and took Lao Xia to buy vegetables, the two of them were on the bus together.

　　 The mobile phone in Lao Xia's pocket vibrated, and Xiang Kun also looked at it subconsciously, and saw Yang Zhen'er's head on the screen of the mobile phone that Lao Xia picked up.

　　 At this time, Yang Zhener sent a video request, and Xia Libing naturally guessed what the purpose of this cousin was — it must be something delicious, and deliberately wanted to slander her.

　　 Most of the time, Xia Libing cruelly refused to show off his cousin and did not turn on the video.

　　 But this time, Xia Libing clicked to accept.

　　 Sure enough, after Yang Zhen'er's face appeared on the screen, the next instant it turned into a table of steaming dishes, and then Yang Zhen'er's crisp voice sounded outside the screen:

"My dear sister! Look, this table full of dishes, how delicious, how delicious! Look at this braised pork trotters, which is full of collagen, um~~ it's so delicious! Just looking at it, you drool! This is made by Nana’s mother, who has been cooking for 30 years. I guess it’s not much worse than the crispy pork knuckle made by Chef Xiang! My dear sister Di. , Who told you not to come back to accompany me during the Spring Festival, do you regret it now?"

　　 From the screen, in addition to Yang Zhener, you can see Tang Baona who is covering her mouth and laughing, Tang Baona's sister Bao Ting, prospective brother-in-law Gao Yao, and Nana's father. Obviously, the food is real, and I went to Tang Baona's house to eat dinner at noon on the 30th day of the year.

Xia Libing didn’t reply. He just turned the phone upside down so that the camera was facing the plastic bags next to her feet. Then she pointed her fingers at the plastic bags and introduced: "Pig trotters, pork ribs, pig ears, nine-section prawns, chicken legs ,beef……"

　　 "Order the soldiers" for the ingredients, Xia Libing moved the camera up again, and said to Xiang Kun who was standing on the side holding the armrest, "Chef."

　　 Xiang Kun showed a bright smile very cooperatively, beckoned, and said hello.

At this moment, in the Tang’s restaurant, Yang Zhen’er, who had finished the video with Xia Libing, looked at her phone, then at Tang Baona next to her, and smiled bitterly: “I thought I’d be the only one to be cheeky in the New Year’s Eve Someone else’s cooking at home, I didn’t expect Lao Xia would actually go to the chef’s house for cooking? Hey? The chicken soup in the bowl suddenly became less fragrant..."

Mother Tang, who was coming out of the kitchen with a pot of vegetables, was puzzled: "Really, isn't the chicken soup good? Did I put less salt, too weak? Oh, our Nana tastes too light, I I'm used to it..."

　　 Yang Zhener hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Auntie, the chicken soup you made is so delicious! I mean... the perfume smell on Nana is too strong, but it can't overpower the smell of your chicken soup!"

　　 "Puff...cough cough!" Gao Yao, who was drinking soup, was choked when he heard this, and the soup came out of his nose.

Baoting next to 　　 reluctantly pulled a tissue and handed it over.

　　 Father Tang smiled and looked at the daughter who was fighting with Yang Zhen'er, and said: "I heard Baoting said before that you have a friend who cooks delicious food. Isn't it just the "Chef Xiang" that Zhener just said?"

"Yes, it's Chef, he is really good at cooking..." Yang Zhener said, and smiled at Mother Tang: "Of course, it's still so much worse than Auntie! Auntie made chicken soup really It's so delicious!"

　　 Mother Tang smiled and shook her head: "I'm the craftsmanship of home cooking, which is incomparable with the chef."

　　 Tang Baona smiled and said, "True, you are such a sycophant!"

Gao Yao, who had just wiped his nose with a paper towel, also nodded and said, “Xiang Kun’s dishes are really delicious, especially rabbit meat. The processing of ingredients, the control of heat, and the seasoning are all the same. Absolutely, no worse than the chefs in those high-end restaurants outside."

　　 Both Tang's father and Tang's mother knew that this prospective son-in-law was a "sincere man." Such a serious evaluation of Xiang Kun's cooking proved that Xiang Kun's cooking was indeed quite delicious.

　　 Father Tang squinted and smiled: "I am also curious about what I said, but I hope I can eat the dishes made by Chef Xiang if I have a chance!"

Tang Baona smiled and said: "Okay, when Xiang Kun comes back after the Spring Festival, I invite him to be a guest at home, let him cook a few dishes and show off. By the way, Dad, you remember that you said that you saw it at Grandpa's Is the canary woodcarving that I gave you interesting? Xiang Kun was also the one who made the canary woodcarving."

　　 Mother Tang said in amazement: "I thought that "Chef Xiang" was a restaurant, but I didn't expect to be an artist?"

　　 Yang Zhener laughed and said, "Uncle and auntie, why don't you guess what the chef's job is? If you guess wrong once, have a glass of wine, anyway, fruit wine, low degree, hehe."

　　 Citong City ~www.novelmtl.com~ When Xiangkun took Lao Xia home, as expected, his parents did not hide their surprised expressions.

　　 And from the appearance of Lao Xia, it is easy to think of the "friend's sister" that my cousin said last night and discussed at the dinner table this morning.

　　 "Mom, this is what I told you, my friend's sister, Doctor Xia Li Bingxia." Xiang Kun said to his mother.

"Welcome, welcome, Dr. Xia come in quickly, no need to change shoes, no need to change shoes, oh, I didn't mop the floor. Old Xiang! Come out soon, there are guests coming!" Mother Xiang's eyes are like sticking to Xia Libing's body. Keep staring at her, smiling from ear to ear.

　　 "Hello Auntie, Hello Uncle, Excuse me, you can call me Xiaoxia or Xiaobing." After changing her slippers, Xia Libing greeted her mother and Dad who came in from the balcony with a newspaper.

Xiang Kun next to him looked a little surprised, because at this time, Lao Xia’s expression was different from before. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyes were more smiling, and the tone of his voice was slightly improved. One point, it feels more gentle and... well-behaved?

　　 But Xiang Kun can still see a trace of unnaturalness and strangeness in her performance, which is obviously not as comfortable as her usual state.

"Dad, Mom, I happened to meet Dr. Xia when I went to the supermarket to buy food, so I asked her to come to our house for dinner at noon. I'm going to cook, and you will talk to her for a good day?" Xiang Kun said, carrying the ingredients. Most of the bags went into the kitchen, and most of them were put in the refrigerator, and a small amount of things to be done at noon were processed temporarily.
