Fight the monsters before 8 am

"Let me help too." Rukia also came to the dining table and wanted to help.

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Xing Heyue couldn't refuse and just said, "Go wash your hands first."

Rukia obediently ran to the kitchen to wash her hands.

When I came into the kitchen, the aroma of the stew in the pot was already wafting out, and the rice cooker on the other side had also switched from cooking mode to keep warm mode.

"He Yue, the light on the rice cooker has changed." Rukia shouted to Xing and Yue who were outside in the living room.

"Please help me unplug the rice cooker. Remember to wipe your hands clean first." Xing Heyue said.

Rukia found the towel hanging above the sink and hurried over to unplug the rice cooker.

Xingheyue had said before that he didn't know if it was a problem with his rice cooker or all rice cookers, but if the rice was kept warm for too long, it would become limp. If the power cord was unplugged in time, it would be fine, but as the weather got colder, it would get cold easily if it was not kept warm.

When they came out of the kitchen, Rukia asked Xing Heyue: "Heyue, what's that stew in the pot?"

As she asked, she walked over to Xing and Yue, pulled out a chair and sat down.

"It contains stewed potatoes, carrots and pork." Xingheyue said.

"Oh!" Rukia's face was full of anticipation. The soup of this dish would be perfect when poured over rice.

But before Rukia could finish being happy, Xingheyue said the name of another vegetable: "Celery."

The expression on Rukia's face immediately changed from expectation to despair. She grabbed Xingheyue's sleeve and said, "Who would put celery in potato stew?"

Seeing the desperate expression on Rukia's face, Xingheyue quickly explained: "No, I wanted to say that I saw there was a celery in the refrigerator, and I was thinking about putting it in the pot to stew together, but after thinking about it, I decided not to."

"Huh...it's okay, it's okay." Rukia patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, looking like she had survived a disaster.

"You're exaggerating." Xing Heyue couldn't help but complain, "Do you hate celery so much?"

"It's not that I hate it. If you force me to eat it, I can eat it. But when I heard that celery was put in the meat and potato stew, I felt like the whole pot of stew was ruined." Rukia said.

Xing and Yue were now certain that Rukia really hated eating celery.

After talking about this topic, Rukia also started trying to make dumplings.

It was obvious that this girl's hands were better suited to wielding a knife than cooking.

She made ten dumplings in a row, and they all looked weird. It seemed that the skin and filling would separate when they were put into the pot.

"Don't panic, everything has a gradual process."

Xingheyue said, seeing how nervous Rukia was.

"Yeah." Rukia responded, and then continued to stare at the dumpling skin in her hand, carefully filling it with filling, and carefully pinching the dumpling skin.

After ruining countless dumplings, Rukia finally made a relatively decent dumpling.

She placed the dumpling next to the dumplings made by Xing and Yue with some pride and said, "Look at this one, it's pretty good."

"Well, it's really good. I've passed the test."

Xing and Yue looked at the dumplings, then at Rukia. Her face, hands, and clothes were all covered in flour, and the area around her seat could also be described as a mess.

On the plate next to Rukia were many dumplings that could almost be described as abstract art.

Xing and Yue were thinking about what to do with these strangely shaped dumplings. If they unpacked and re-wrapped the dumplings in front of Rukia, it might hurt Rukia's self-esteem.

After all, Rukia had wrapped it very seriously, and he didn't want to easily destroy the fruits of Rukia's labor.

How about frying these dumplings or steaming them?

Frying or steaming the dumplings won’t make them fall apart as easily as boiling them.

Although the shape is a little strange, they have the same dough and filling, and the taste should not be much different from the dumplings you make yourself.

The two of them continued making dumplings for a while. Xing and Yue felt that the food on the stove was almost ready to stew, so they put the dumplings aside and prepared lunch first.

Chapter 31: Maybe when you go to a restaurant to eat, the waiter next to you is Ultraman

Xingheyue and Rukia's lunch was simple. There was a pot of potato and carrot stew, a plate of pickled cucumbers, a bowl of sweet egg drop soup for each person, and then there was rice.

Rukia enjoyed the meal very much, especially the meat and potatoes stew. The thick soup poured over the hot rice tasted extremely delicious.

If there weren't any sterilized eggs at home and Xing and Yue weren't worried that Rukia would get an upset stomach, Rukia would have at least put a raw egg in it.

However, Xing and Yue still fried a runny egg for Rukia.

After lunch, the two cleaned up the dishes and continued making dumplings.

After a while, Rukia's eyelids began to twitch, and she looked like she was about to fall headfirst onto the table.

Xing and Yue didn't let Rukia continue to help and asked her to go and rest for a while.

It was unknown whether Rukia was still conscious. She left the dining table in a daze, without even wiping her hands, and fell on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.

Xing Heyue didn't think it was troublesome, so he got up from the dining table, went to the kitchen to wet a towel, then went to Rukia and helped wipe her flour-stained hands.

Rukia's hands are small and soft, and you can't tell that they often hold swords. If a hand control person saw these hands, he would probably treasure them.

Because he didn't know Rukia's previous situation in Soul Society, he was not sure whether the conclusion he had drawn after observing for the past few days was correct.

Based on his observations of just a few days with Rukia, Rukia now easily falls asleep, sleeps longer, and seems to eat more and more, and gets hungry faster and faster. After all, Xing and Yue are the ones who cook at home, and the amount of steamed rice he has steamed in the past two days has gradually increased, but Rukia always finishes it.

It seems that there is something wrong with Rukia's body, but the problem is different from that of Xing and Yue.

Rukia's current situation reminded Xing and Yue of animals that were about to hibernate.

"Just continue to observe slowly. Whether it's my body or Rukia's body."

Xing Heyue cares a lot about this girl who traveled to this world inexplicably like herself. If something happens to her, Xing Heyue will be the only one left in this world.

Returning to the dining table, Xing and Yue finished wrapping the remaining dumplings, put them all in the refrigerator, and then tidied up the area around the table.

After doing all this, Xingheyue took advantage of Rukia sleeping on the sofa and went back to the room that originally belonged to him to take a shower.

Although he worked in a restaurant in the afternoon and evening and was bound to be covered in fumes, he still felt that taking a shower and cleaning up would give others a good impression.

Entering the bathroom, Xing and Yue stopped and looked in the mirror when they passed by the mirror on the sink.

I have been washing in the kitchen all this time and haven't looked in the mirror. I didn't pay attention when I came to this room to take a shower before.

Now looking in the mirror, Xing and Yue found that they looked much better.

The dark circles around his eyes have faded and his face is not as pale anymore. He looks like a normal person, not a sickly person who would fall over at the slightest provocation.

Although his strength sometimes went out of control in the past few days, it was not as uncomfortable as before.

I don’t know if I have gradually adapted to the environment on Earth.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xing and Yue, who had already taken a shower and changed their clothes, were planning to leave the apartment and go to their part-time job location.

At this time, Rukia showed no sign of waking up, so Xing and Yue took out the bread that the store owner had sent in the morning and put it where they could be found immediately.

Before leaving, she turned on a small light in the common room to prevent Rukia from sleeping until dark and not being able to find the light switch when she woke up.

After doing all this, Xing and Yue left the apartment.

The address of the work place has been sent to Xingheyue by the recruiter. The place is not too far from the school.

This made Xingheyue feel a lot more relaxed. He was quite familiar with the roads near the school. If he went to an unfamiliar place, he wouldn't even know how to take a bus.

After getting off the bus, Xing and Yue found their job location in no time.

This is a fairly large restaurant, and its main business is barbecue.

When I walked into the store, it was not officially open yet. Only the boss and two assistants were busy in the store, preparing for opening in the evening.

Xing and Yue found the boss, stated their identities, and showed their student cards to the boss. After their identities were confirmed, they started working officially.

The boss asked Xingheyue if they could cook, but it was just a question and he didn't plan to let Xingheyue take charge of the cooking.

He assigned some tasks to Xing and Yue, and then went back to the kitchen.

Xing and Yue didn't have a chance to rest until the first customer came into the store in the evening. Fortunately, the work they did was not particularly heavy, so they could hold on.

The tables and chairs outside had been occupied by Xing and Yue, and then he followed the other guys to carry the barbecue grill outside. By this time, it had completely dark, and the streets were gradually becoming lively.

Because this place is very close to the university town, there are many young men and women on the streets.

There are more and more customers inside and outside the barbecue restaurant where Xingheyue works.

"Waiter, take your order!"

"coming."

"Why hasn't the lamb skewers been served to our table yet? If they aren't served, we won't have them."

"Please wait a moment. I'll go ask."

"Hey, handsome guy, the beer on our table is not cold, please change it to ice cold."

"Okay, here we go."

Xing Heyue kept shuttling in and out of the store, and his hands were basically never idle.

It was a bit busy, but fortunately nothing went wrong. Another thing to be thankful for is that there haven't been any disputes so far, such as customers feeling that the ingredients were not fresh or finding bugs in their food.

Xing Heyue felt that they were not particularly good at dealing with others, and if a dispute really did arise, it would be very tiring to resolve it.

Finally, they found a free time. Xing and Yue leaned against the wall to rest for a while, picked up a cup of water, and drank it with gulps.

He wiped the corner of his mouth and took a breath.

The workload here is much greater than when he was working in the Internet cafe before, and the salary is not as good as that in the Internet cafe, but there is nothing he can do about it because he was fired by the Internet cafe.

Just when Xing Heyue took a break, two female customers noticed Xing Heyue and talked about them in a low voice.

Maybe these two female customers would not normally comment on a boy in public, but now, taking advantage of the alcohol and the cheerful atmosphere at the table, they did not pay special attention to their words and actions.

"Look at that boy, he's so handsome, he looks like a cosplayer."

"You noticed it too? And this boy is completely natural, without any makeup. How can such a good-looking boy work here?"

"Hey, keep your voice down and don't point your fingers at me. I want to take a picture."

When I first entered school, Jun Shiqi said that Xing and Yue were the three-dimensional version of Tsukishiro Yukito, and that they could go to comic exhibitions to cosplay by just dyeing their hair and changing their glasses.

Jun Shiqi's words were not exaggerated at all. Xing Heyue might not be the three-dimensional Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit, but at least they looked the same. It was just that Xing Heyue had always been sick and looked like he was dying, so his outstanding appearance was covered up.

Chapter 32: This bottle of wine leads to interstellar disputes

The conversation between the two girls caused displeasure to a man at the same table because one of the girls who discussed Xing and Yue's appearance was his girlfriend.

There were quite a few people at the table, and the man felt very embarrassed to have his girlfriend comment on another strange boy in front of him.

The man had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol and was a little tipsy.

In fact, facing this matter, the man could just laugh it off, or he could point to his girlfriend in a joking tone, or he could directly remind his girlfriend to be more careful.

But this young man, who was drunk and hot-blooded, decided to choose D among the three options ABC, which meant he planned to cause trouble for Xing and Yue.

"Hey, that waiter, that's you, come here!"

After confirming that the man was calling them, Xing and Yue put down the cup in their hands and walked to the table where the young man was.

"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Xing Heyue asked.

"Come on, drink this cup."

The drunken young man opened a can of beer, then pinched the back of Xingheyue's neck as if he were a child and pressed Xingheyue's body down.

Xing Heyue looked at the beer can that was handed to them and was about to stick to their faces, and said, "My sir, I'm very sorry, I can't drink it."

It's not just because Xing and Yue are still working, there are other reasons as well.

Xing Heyue's current health is still unstable, and his abilities may go out of control at any time. He is not sure what will happen if he is drunk, so he has not touched alcohol so far.

In fact, there was a period of time before when he was afraid that his abilities would go out of control while he was asleep, so he stayed up for several nights. Fortunately, nothing has happened while he is sleeping so far.

"You don't want to drink? That won't work. I've already treated you. So let's do this."

As he said this, the young man held the can of beer above Xing and Yue's heads and poured it over them.

The young man felt his blood boiling at this moment. The pleasure brought by bullying others made his brain, which was anesthetized by alcohol, even more chaotic.

He was looking forward to seeing what expression would appear on this sissy boy's face, whether it would be panic, fear or anger.

But when he met the crystal blue eyes of Xing and Yue, he found them as calm as the sea.

The expressions on Xing and Yue's faces were very calm, except for a little surprise, some confusion, and a hint of curiosity.

He felt the cold liquid left on his head, flowing down his face to his neck, and then flowing into his clothes and wetting them, his heart full of confusion.
