But Mei definitely didn't want to walk anymore. Her legs were sore from walking all morning, and even after getting a massage, she still wanted to take a break.
She bought two drinks and sat on a stool, drinking them while looking at the dark clouds in the sky. There was no rain today, at least that's what the weather forecast said, but Mei still brought an umbrella in her small bag. After all, the weather forecast is always inaccurate, isn't it?
"You haven't combed my hair in ages. I feel like wearing this outfit and doing a ponytail makes me look a little older."
Mei and Xia were in an orphanage, and the director and nurses there thought they were siblings.
Xia took off Mei's rubber band to temporarily wrap her own bun, and pulled out the comb on the bun to help Mei comb her hair.
"You still have to learn to comb your hair by yourself. After all, I'm not always by your side. How did you do it before I was around?"
Xia's magnetic and crisp voice made Mei feel very comfortable listening to it. It was somewhat similar to Su's voice, but seemed to be older.
Mei didn't say anything. She could comb her hair and do her own hair. She deliberately kept it in a ponytail because she felt that her hair didn't look good enough. She thought Xia would take the initiative to ask him to do it for her, but he didn't. So Mei had to say it herself.

Chapter 114 Mei: Give me back my yang energy.
Mei shrugged, as if it didn't matter. "Physicists are all about messy hair and dark circles under their eyes. That's the style this year."
As for who brought him here, it was Klein. During a video call when Klein was explaining physics, he had disheveled hair and dark circles under his eyes. Halfway through his speech, he fell asleep on the table.
Then Klein became famous in the field of physics, so when Möbius invited Klein to study life together, Klein packed up his things and went to chase the fire moth that night, almost running away with the train.
Of course, Klein is also very strong in biology, otherwise Mebius would not have invited her.
Xia fixed Mei's hair, making it look more ladylike, then fixed the hairpin on her head and put the rubber band back on Mei's hair.
"Okay, we've rested enough, it's time for us to set off."
Seeing Mei complaining, Xia took Mei and went to find the welfare home again.
In the afternoon, blood samples were collected from the fingertips of more than 500 children.
It was clearly five o'clock in the afternoon, but the sky was extremely dark. A loud bang shattered the accuracy of the weather forecaster's usual bet on the screen yesterday.
The cloudy sky turned to rain.
Xia stood in the security booth at the entrance of the welfare home to avoid the heavy rain, wondering if Hua was also getting wet in the rain like herself.
But she is never idle for a moment. She either works as a death squad or as a member of the shoe cult. Xia feels that she has the aura of someone who will kill any devil she finds.
Mei walked gracefully over the water, holding an umbrella. She raised the umbrella and waved it, then smiled at Xia in the security booth and said, "Would you like me to hold an umbrella for me, gentleman?"
Xia took the umbrella from Mei's hand, held it over himself and Mei's head, and walked out of the security booth.
Because the rain was falling so fast, there were still many citizens hiding from the rain in the shops on the street. Xia couldn't use the Honkai energy to block the rain, so he just covered the umbrella with the Honkai energy, making the umbrella's blocking range larger. However, ordinary people couldn't see it from a distance.
Mei stepped onto the sidewalk on the water, with her hands behind her back and her back straight, walking in front of the crowd with grace, looking like a lady indeed.
Xia felt like he was her bodyguard as he walked beside her. "The weather forecast said there would be no rain today, ah."
Mei: "It's more realistic to believe that there won't be school next Monday than to trust the weather forecast. I guess I had the foresight to prepare an umbrella in advance."
Because there was only one umbrella, Mei and Xia were quite close to each other, and Xia moved the umbrella a little too much towards her.
"Ms. Mei, you are very foresighted. What are you planning for dinner?"
More than 500 drops of blood were collected in a day. The main reason is that the big welfare homes are different from the small ones. The small welfare homes can get things done immediately after you donate money, while the big welfare homes will first talk nonsense to you and hint that you should donate to the foundation. They say the same things, but they are all doing business behind the scenes.
Under normal circumstances, Xia wouldn't mind donating directly to the foundation they proposed, as long as blood could be collected. But because he was wearing his mother's comb today, Xia felt that he had to do things well, at least not let his money be spent on countless suites or cars of those bosses.
After a long time of hesitation, Xia finally collected the blood of those children and successfully donated the money.
"I knew it was hard to make money, but now it's hard to spend money too. Sigh."
Because the money donated to the welfare home is quantifiable, the Far East authorities will check every expenditure, while the money donated to the foundation does not need to be carefully checked, and those people have more room to make money.
"Do you think this is too much trouble? We have two large orphanages to visit tomorrow, so I probably won't be able to finish until tomorrow afternoon."
Mei turned around and smiled.
Xia: "You should be thankful you wore a sweater today, otherwise you would have caught a cold."
Mei: "If I feel cold, will you lend me your windbreaker?"
"Do you want it?"
Xia flicked his windbreaker, as if to say, "If you want it now, I can take it off for you."
Mei shook her head. "If you give it to me, I'll take it, but if you ask me to take it, I don't think it's necessary."
Seeing Mei saying this, Xia randomly found a big shopping mall and took Mei in.
Because it was summer, the air conditioning was on in the mall even though it was raining. Mei shivered as she just stepped out from under her umbrella. "Why did you bring me here? I think it's warmer outside."
Xia took Mei's hand and said, "Let's go eat some hot pot and warm ourselves up."
Mei said nothing. Xia took Mei to the third floor and walked into the hot pot restaurant. Although the hot pot restaurant was air-conditioned, after the hot pot was lit, the waiter served Mei a hot sweet drink, which warmed Mei's body.
"It's really nice to see the rain today."
Xia: "We could have gone to one more place, but now we have to stop and rest. We have to go all day tomorrow. How can we call this good?"
Today is Kevin's friend's birthday, so Xia doesn't have to worry about Kevin and Su's meals.
It doesn't matter that I didn't come out for dinner.
Otherwise, Xia Yu couldn't bear to face Kevin and Su's hungry expressions and had to order takeout. He felt like abandoning them.
Mei took a sip of the sweet drink while eating the meatballs. "This rain may not be very good for you, but it's very good for me. It allows me to stay with you for another day tomorrow."
Xia: "You look great in this outfit. I've been wanting to say that since I saw you this morning."
Mei casually used a spoon to play with the meatballs in the hot pot and said casually: "It's so cold, I don't want to go back to school."
Xia: "Do you want me to get you a room outside?"
Mei stopped playing with the spoon that was playing with the meatballs, "Don't you have a room at home?"
Xia: "Kevin and Su are living in my house now. Their rental house was bombed. It was the Shoe Cult members, you know."
Xia: "Unless you want to sleep with me, I don't mind."
Mei is just good at talking, and so is Xia. After all, their destiny has not been broken yet, so it is hard for them to even be moved, let alone move.
Mei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. "Then I'd better go back to school. I just thought your room was quite big, and it should be more comfortable and quieter than school."
The school bell rings every morning. If Mei wasn't a very deep sleeper, she would probably be killed by the noise.
As a scientist, you have to stay up late. It's annoying to stay up until midnight and then have an alarm with one minute left in the morning to wake her up, and she can't turn it off. Sleeping soundly is perfect for Mei.
I wonder how many scientists envy Mei's sleep quality.
Xia: "...So this is life."
Xia was filled with emotion.
Mei picked up the meatballs and ate the meat rolls, "What kind of life is this?"
Xia: "I was born before you were born, and you were born when I was already old. Although this may not be quite right, it's probably true."
The theory of longevity is bad. The eldest brother sometimes says this when he is drunk. Xia doesn't know when the eldest brother started to learn this, but he also understands why the eldest brother says this.
Mei's life is too short. In the long life ahead, it is just a flash in the pan.
Without words, I am destined to have no way to respond to Mei, and at most I can just talk nonsense.
That's all.
Xia: "I said your life is really beautiful."
Mei was a little confused. "What's so good about my life? It's just like an ordinary person's."
"Your life is beautiful because I am in it."
I don't know if it was because the hot pot was a little spicy or because it was too hot, but Mei's face flushed. However, Mei still said stubbornly: "Isn't it because of me that your life is beautiful? You are saying the wrong thing to deceive a little girl with such love words."
Xia: "Ah? Actually, don't you think I'll leave a significant mark in your short life?"
Mei narrowed her eyes, revealing her small right fang as if baring her teeth fiercely as she said, "A love battle between idiot A-Xia and genius Mei? You know, no matter what the topic is, I have never lost."
This kind of ferocity is quite cute. After all, good-looking people are cute no matter what expression they make, unless they deliberately act ugly.
"What do you mean by love-brained? Don't you think I look like the old man in the ring in a fantasy novel?"
"You look like a pig to me."
Mei rolled her eyes and continued to eat the meat rolls.
Xia found that Mei liked to eat beef very much and did not touch the mutton at all. Xia put the mutton rolls and vegetables in the clear soup, "Then you are eating with pigs, so you are a sow."
Mei: "Let's talk about the bombing of Kevin and Su's house. I heard a little about it, but I thought it was just spread by classmates."
Mei's red soup and Xia's clear soup are separated by a piece of iron, which makes it impossible for the two flavors of soup to blend together, just like Mei and Xia's lives, so close, yet so far away.
Mei suddenly felt that the iron sheet was quite troublesome, but because it was an integrated pot and there was no way to separate the iron sheet, Mei moved the pot and placed it vertically so that she could eat both flavors.
"I called Himeko and told you that Professor Einstein, Himeko's sister, was at Kevin's house, so Kevin's house was bombed by the shoe cult members."
It shouldn't be monitored now. After Himeko discovered that Xia's phone was monitored for the first time, he would definitely send someone to protect Xia's phone data.
Speaking of mobile phones, Xia suddenly remembered that his parents' mobile phones seemed to have been taken away by Professor Einstein and Professor Nobiu.
How unlucky! When Mebius and Blanca left, they even left a bottle of perfume behind. But when Professor Einstein and Professor Nobiu left, not only did they leave nothing behind, they also took away their parents' cell phones. It's outrageous.
I must get the phone back the next time we meet. Xia doesn't know what's in his parents' phones. What if there are some comic novels or dirty movies from the Far East that can't be mentioned? Wouldn't that make his parents restless even after they die?
Xia sent a message to Einstein, asking him to send him his parents' cell phones after they were turned off.
But Einstein obviously couldn't send it. "If you want a phone, come to Mu Continent and get it yourself. You know the rules~"
Xia: "What rules?"
Einstein: "Ahem, there aren't any rules. I'm just inviting you to dinner, maybe for a month or two, or a year or two. I don't think Mebius would mind."
Xia: "I think she would mind."
Mei at the table had finished her beef roll and asked the waiter to bring another one. Xia told Einstein that she was eating and put down her phone.
It's a bit impolite if one of them keeps looking at the phone while two people are having a meal together. It's okay to look at it occasionally, but it's too much if you keep looking at it.
Xia: "Would you like to eat some mutton? I think mutton rolls are quite delicious."
"When I was little, my hands would peel when I ate mutton. The doctor said it might be because of my excessive heart fire, so he forbade me from eating mutton, dog meat, and other foods with a hot nature. Although this doesn't happen anymore as I grew up, I'm still used to it."
Mei said with a smile while eating the meat roll.
Xia: "Your Yang energy is too high. Do you need me to help you absorb the Yang and replenish the Yin?"
"You're not trying to trick me into sleeping, are you? People always say that absorbing yin replenishes yang, but you're absorbing yang to replenish yin..."
Mei pretended to be scared.
Xia just waved his index finger, and a pure soul floated through Mei's body, taking away a trace of yang energy. Mei shuddered instantly and took a breath of cold air, "You, what did you do."
Xia took back his soul and said, "Okay, it's okay to eat mutton from now on. I took away a little bit of the Yang energy in your body."
Mei leaned over and sneezed violently several times. "I said I had too much yang energy when I was a kid. Now that I'm older, it's fine. Hiss, I'm so cold."
summer:"……"
Xia silently took off his windbreaker and put it on Mei.
Mei: "Give me back my yang energy."
Xia was silent, feeling a little guilty.
"I only know one way to measure Yang Qi."
How could a demon cultivator give his yang energy to others? He only absorbs the yang energy of others. There are nine ways to absorb the yang energy of others.
But there is only one way to pass the Yang energy, through the mouth...
Mei: “Then give it back to me.”
Xia: "Through the mouth."
Mei stared at Xia, who looked calm, with her eyes wide open. Her mind was working rapidly, "Wait, you are not doing this on purpose."
She deliberately took away some of my yang energy, and then told me that she could only give it back to me if I kissed her. She looked so calm, and I didn't feel like I was being tricked.
Xia's mouth twitched as he picked up a bit of the mutton roll for Mei. "It's impossible to return it to you. You should eat more heat-attribute foods and get more sun to make up for it."
I did something good with bad intentions and was even suspected. Xia touched the comb on his head. My mother must know that I didn't mean it.
