Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

Shi Hen responded softly, then silently quickened the movements of his men.

God knows when Kiana will change her mind, and he doesn't want the kitchen to be blown up.

"Huh? I didn't realize you're quite skilled at cooking."

Looking at the boy's extremely skillful movements, Kiana was amazed.

What surprised her the most was that even though the boy's right hand was wrapped in bandages from the palm to the base of his fingers, he would not get any water on it when washing and picking vegetables.

How long have you been practicing this?!

"When you are alone more, you will naturally learn it."

Shi Hen answered.

Kiana: "..."

She has lived alone for a long time, so why can't she learn anything?

Thinking of the past when there were always some unexpected incidents whenever she cooked, the girl couldn't help but shed bitter tears.

"Doesn't your sister cook?"

After thinking for a while, Kiana asked.

"She rarely stays at home, maybe only a few days a month, so I usually cook more."

Time trace explained.

Although this is also an identity setting, Raven’s cooking skills are indeed not that good. When he was in Siberia, he was usually the one who cooked.

Even if ashes appear when you are innovating in your cooking skills, Shihen is still trustworthy when you cook normally.

"That's it..."

Kiana's tone dropped a bit.

She felt as if she had exposed someone's scars again.

"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own way of getting along with each other, and I think it's pretty good."

Shi Hen comforted him.

Although Kiana during this period was still a bit careless, her mind was much more delicate than that during the Saint Freya period.

After all, given the environment around her, the girl had no time to relax.

"Ah."

After hearing the boy's words and seeing the quiet and leisurely smile on his face, Kiana's mood immediately improved and a smile appeared on her face again.

Soon, several dishes were cooked, and with the addition of a pot of chicken soup that had already been stewed, the rich aroma immediately spread.

"Wow! It looks delicious!"

Kiana swept her eyes across several delicious dishes, and finally her gaze fell on the pot of golden chicken soup. Stars almost appeared in her eyes, and tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

During the long journey, delicious food was one of the few enjoyments she had.

"In that case, please let Miss Kiana experience it for herself."

Shi Hen said with a smile as he filled a bowl of chicken soup for the girl.

He is quite confident in his cooking skills.

After all, he still has to compete with the Herrscher of Food in the future.

I'm sorry, Mei Raiden, it was Kiana's first time (meaning a friend cooked for her), and I accepted it without hesitation.

Looking at the white-haired ball in front of him eating with relish, Shi Hen's mouth corners slowly curled up.

Chapter 69: Divine Tradition

After dinner, Kiana rested for a while and then left.

Even though she lived a relatively tight life and had always been a thick-skinned person, Kiana still couldn't do something like staying overnight at the home of a male friend she had just met.

Since this concerns the reputation of both of them, Kiana still has some girlish reserve, although not much.

Seeing the girl's serious face and earnest attitude, Shi Hen did not try to persuade her to stay.

Keeping a proper distance is the respect you should show to a girl.

Even though he had already made up his mind to become Kiana's best friend, Shi Hen also understood the principle of gradual progress.

If they suddenly push their relationship forward too quickly, it would only make it seem like he had ulterior motives, which even Kiana, with her big heart, might not be able to see.

But as a professional behind-the-scenes boss, leaving no flaws is the most basic quality, just like the photo of the AI ​​chorus placed in the room where Kiana slept.

No matter who investigates the authenticity of the photo in the future, the result will be that it is true. The director of the orphanage can even talk about a bunch of past events to prove that Shi Hen has been well-rounded in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor development since childhood.

This is called a professional.

So, after walking Kiana all the way downstairs and out of the community, and even encountering a lot of teasing from neighbors on the way, Shi Hen said goodbye to the girl temporarily and promised to meet again tomorrow.

According to previous communication via email, Kiana would stay in Jinguan for three days, but now it is only one day.

They both have a lot of time left.

After watching Kiana's back, carrying a bulging schoolbag, disappear around the corner, Shi Hen slowly turned back.

"You really care about this girl."

When the door was opened, a faint voice was heard, and sitting on the sofa was a gray-haired woman with a young face but a very proud figure.

"Sister Natasha, don't you think Kiana is cute?"

After closing the door and changing into his home slippers, Shi Hen asked with a smile.

"That girl is indeed very pretty, but..."

Recalling the appearance of the white-haired girl, Raven nodded slightly, still looking at the boy with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

She didn't think Shi Hen would be attracted by mere appearance.

"That's enough."

Shi Hen said with a smile, his tone firm.

Even without her identity as a Herrscher, Kiana's appearance is attractive enough.

Well, at least it can resolve most people's doubts and make them believe that Shi Hen's concern for the girl is understandable.

"is it?"

Raven still had some doubts.

She didn't think Shi Hen would delay his mission just because he liked a girl.

According to the plan, the boy should have gone to North America by now to start his anti-entropy undercover mission.

But because of the appearance of a girl, Shi Hen had to postpone the task for several days.

Although the World Serpent's plan was able to tolerate these accidents, Raven still didn't believe that such a thing would happen to Shi Hen, even though the boy had never paid much attention to the rules of the organization.

Her intuition from walking in the shadows for so many years told her that there must be another reason for the time mark.

“That’s really all there is to it.”

Shi Hen felt somewhat helpless.

In the eyes of Raven, who had already left World Serpent and could only obtain a small amount of information through his channels, the boy postponed his undercover mission because of a girl.

But in Shi Hen's own mind, getting along with Kiana is much more important than becoming Walter.

Anti-Entropy still has many options to choose from, but Kiana's window of opportunity is limited, and frequently appearing in front of the girl will only attract attention from others.

It can be said that Shi Hen’s current identity was created mainly for Kiana.

Anti-entropy and Walter are the gifts that come with this identity.

If necessary, he can even sacrifice his life for Kiana.

After all, [Sit-ups] has become a necessary skill for Walter.

"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Raven nodded reluctantly, "If Peggy knew what happened here, she would probably cry."

The Siberian girl tried her best to catch Shi Hen's eye, but was immediately thrown into an orphanage in Kokolia by the boy.

Although this Kiana was only a chance encounter, it was worth Shi Hen putting down the task at hand and setting aside three days specifically for her.

"Peggy will be strong."

Shi Hen shrugged.

Judging from the girl's adaptability to Honkai energy, which is much better than that of ordinary people, she might become a good chess piece in the future.

But... this is just a possibility.

In Shi Hen's plan, there are still many options, and he is not obsessed with the other party.

Peggy was just a pawn in his play.

Whether it succeeds or not, Shi Hen doesn't care.

"You..."

Seeing the boy's indifferent look, Raven couldn't help but shake his head.

"By the way, how long do you plan to stay here, Sister Natasha?"

Shi Hen asked.

Theoretically speaking, Raven is already a former employee of World Serpent and should not have any involvement with the organization anymore.

If it wasn't his personal request this time, the other party wouldn't have appeared here.

"Whatever. I'm just an unemployed vagrant now anyway."

With his body slumped in the sofa, Raven said with a nonchalant look on his face.

She has worked at World Snake for twelve years and has accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.

If she didn't buy something like an island villa, these would be enough for her to spend for a lifetime with some money left over.

"Sister Natasha is no longer a mercenary?"

Shi Hen was a little surprised.

Mercenaries and World Serpent cadres are not completely confused. Raven can still act under the name of mercenary [Raven].

"I'm too lazy to be one anymore. The money they pay is too little and they ask for too much."

Without even opening his eyes, the raven said with a look of disgust.

Compared to World Snake, other employers are more stingy than each other.

Shi Hen: “…”

If you think about it, the Charon List is quite influential in the surface world, and the bid for the first place can't be much lower.

It is obvious that Raven is too arrogant and does not take these commissions from the outside world seriously.

"Then Sister Natasha should take a good rest for a while. There are many beautiful sights to see in this world."

Walking behind Raven and rubbing his shoulders, Shi Hen said softly.

Even without the World Serpent, Raven's own strength is enough to roam the world, as long as it doesn't encounter monsters like Yulandel.

I don't know if the strongest Valkyrie has been training hard recently. I'll have to beat her up some other day to see how she feels.

Shi Hen couldn't help but think in his heart.

"You too." Enjoying the boy's service, Raven's voice became lazy. "Now that you've met a girl you like, don't let her go easily."

Assuming that Shi Hen's feelings for Kiana were real, her mindset instantly opened up.

“…It hasn’t come to that yet.”

Shi Hen had no choice but to explain.

There was no way out. He had dug his own hole and now he had no way to refute it.

Although he only wants to be the girl's best friend, do you read the raven letter?

Even after traveling through time, one still cannot escape being forced into marriage by relatives. Is this the so-called Chinese tradition?
