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

Shi Hen secretly made up his mind.

Of course, white lies are exceptions.

As for which lies are well-intentioned... Shi Hen has his own flexible standards.

Dusk has passed and the night lights are beginning to come on.

Although Sicily was still sweltering with heat, the entire northern hemisphere was gradually entering autumn. After the sun set, darkness quickly enveloped the entire world.

"Let me tell you, the most important thing you can't miss when you come to Sicily is seafood pasta."

Walking on the brightly lit streets, Kiana enthusiastically introduced Sicilian delicacies to Shi Hen, looking like an expert on Sicily.

"Ah."

Glancing at the girl beside him, Shi Hen nodded.

Of course he knew about seafood pasta. Raven took him there on the first day he arrived in Sicily. It was a restaurant that looked very luxurious.

He didn't ask how much it cost, but Shi Hen remembered that Raven's fingers were shaking when he paid the bill that night.

However, the seafood noodles in that restaurant are indeed delicious.

Compared with top mercenaries and super-rich women like Raven, the places recommended by Kiana, a wandering girl, are definitely not that high-end, but the girl's enthusiasm is just as good.

The light from the street lamp shone on the girl's face, which was flushed with excitement. The two intertwined to outline a heart-stirring and magnificent color that made Shi Hen stunned.

Later, no matter what Kiana treats him to, he will give it a five-star rating.

Shi Hen thought silently.

Walking through the streets of the city, the two soon arrived at their destination.

This is a small shop on the street. It is so small that there is not even room for a dining table. A few sets of folding tables and chairs are placed casually on the open space outside the store.

“Don’t be fooled by the small size of this store, but the ingredients they use are all the freshest of the day.”

Afraid that Shi Hen would be disgusted, Kiana hurriedly explained.

"It smells delicious. I can't wait to taste the food that Kiana recommends so highly."

Shi Hen said with a smile on his face.

It was dinner time and there were already several diners seated in the restaurant. Just by looking at the way they were eating with relish, one could tell that this restaurant must be quite good.

"Haha~ Kiana-chan finally agreed to bring her boyfriend over! Hurry up and find a place to sit down."

The shop owner who was busy in front of the boiler spoke with a smile, and it seemed that he had known Kiana for a long time.

"We're just ordinary friends!" Qiana quickly corrected, turning her head to look at Shi Hen and explaining, "Luke just likes to joke, don't mind it."

"It can be seen that you have a very good relationship."

Shi Hen couldn't help but feel a little amused after taking a look at the fat bearded shop owner, and then at the white-haired girl in front of him who was blushing but pretending to be calm.

"I, I just helped Luke with some small favors."

Sensing the burning gaze of the boy in front of her, Kiana's face turned even redder.

"That's it."

Shi Hen nodded.

Although he didn't think the "small favor" the girl mentioned was really just a small favor, he didn't mean to get to the bottom of it.

It was just a chance encounter, and he didn't plan to have too much contact with Kiana right now.

Who knows where a certain father-in-law is hiding in some corner, secretly watching.

Seeing that the boy did not ask any further questions, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the bearded shop owner: "Luke, two classic seafood pasta dishes will be fine."

After ordering, the girl turned her gaze back and explained, "I've eaten the seafood noodles in this restaurant several times. The classic flavor is the best and also suitable for first-time eaters."

Finally, Kiana asked again: "By the way, is there anything you don't eat?"

Shi Hen shook his head.

He has a high tolerance for food.

The restaurant serves food very quickly. In just a few minutes of chatting, two servings of seafood pasta were ready.

"It's rare to see little Kiana bring friends here, so you better seize the opportunity, little one!"

He personally brought the food to the two of them. Luke had a simple smile on his face, and his big beard moved in a very cute way.

"Rook!"

Kiana suddenly became furious and clenched her fists tightly, as if she was going to beat this nosy bearded man away in the next second.

"Haha..." Luke took a step back involuntarily and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, "Please enjoy your meal, please enjoy your meal..."

After saying that, Luke disappeared in front of the two people at a speed that was extremely inconsistent with his fat body.

“The people of Sicily are so welcoming.”

Looking at the girl's cute blushing face, Shi Hen sighed.

“Yes, yes…”

Kiana looked down at the pasta in front of her, which was twice the size of others and topped with seafood. She couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.

The special treatment given by Luke was indeed in line with the girl's wishes, but it was her first time having dinner with Shi Hen after all. Would exposing her appetite scare him?

Or, just eat half?

No no no, wasting food is shameful, and it will make Luke sad...

A myriad of thoughts were running through Kiana's mind.

Without paying attention to the girl's modesty, Shi Hen began to enjoy his dinner.

Similar to Kiana's, the portion of seafood on his plate was also particularly large, and it looked very appetizing.

Pick up a lobster with a knife and fork, and take a bite to enjoy the full meaty aroma.

Although this small shop may not look very eye-catching, the ingredients are indeed as fresh as Kiana said, and the combination of various flavors is truly amazing.

Besides, free food always tastes extra delicious.

Sure enough, when it comes to cooking, Kiana is still very trustworthy, as long as she doesn't go into the kitchen.

Infected by the boy's attentive look at enjoying the food, Kiana gradually let go of her own concerns and started to eat with relish.

We can talk about other things later. The most important thing now is to fill our stomachs.

"Hiccup~"

When the girl reacted, the plate in front of her, which was one size larger than the others, had been completely emptied, and next to it was a pile of shells of shellfish.

"It's so delicious that I want to swallow the plate."

After chewing the last noodle carefully and swallowing it, Shi Hen said with a smile.

"I, I'll go pay the bill!"

Kiana blushed when the boy looked at her, and quickly found an excuse to escape without even wiping the oil stains from the corner of her mouth.

She still felt embarrassed even though she had only known the boy for a few hours.

This white-haired ball is quite cute.

The smile on Shi Hen’s face became even more intense.

While wiping his mouth with a tissue, Shi Hen watched with interest the argument between Kiana and Luke over the bill.

Luke quoted the price for two servings of seafood noodles, but Kiana insisted that her portion was worth two and wanted to pay for three plates of noodles.

In the end, the war ended with Kiana paying for three plates and Luke forcing the other party to promise to come again with Shihen.

"Boss Luke is a good man."

Handing a tissue to the returning Kiana, Shi Hen sighed with a smile on his face.

Birds of a feather flock together. The kind-hearted girl is being treated gently by this world, which is truly a pleasant thing.

"It's just a stinky old man!"

Kiana had a ferocious expression.

Obviously, she and Shi Hen were just ordinary friends, but she liked to act on her own, even though this boy from the distant Shenzhou was indeed very handsome...

As she thought about it, Kiana couldn't help but secretly glance at the boy, and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Facing the girl's complaints, Shi Hen just smiled and said, "Let's go and take a walk to help digest our food."

He would take all the money and leave immediately. No one in his time would do such a despicable thing.

But before they had walked far out of the store, a few young men dressed casually and looking ruffian stopped them:

"Hey, girl..."

Chapter 8: Like a Fairy Tale

"Hey, girl, how about going out to play with your brothers?"

I'm coming!

The most classic routine is here!

Looking at the young men in front of him who looked like a group of minions no matter how he looked at them, Shi Hen became secretly excited.

If we talk about what Sicily is most famous for, the Mafia is the first thing that comes to mind.

Although the Sicilian Mafia is now basically hidden in various industries and rarely appears in public, they still exist and rule all aspects of Sicily.

As a protagonist, how can you not fight with the Mafia when you come to Sicily?

Even though these minions are not necessarily members of the Mafia, “after the small ones come the old ones” is the consistent pattern of most stories, and he always encounters the real Sicilian Mafia.

Boom!

While Shi Hen was still fantasizing, Kiana rushed over and knocked the young men down with two punches.

Clapping her hands with a look of satisfaction on her face, Kiana turned around and explained to the boy: "Hey, the security situation in Sicily is like this, are you okay?"

Looking at the people stacked in a circle in the corner, and then at the girl's concerned expression, Shi Hen fell silent.

So, these days, if you don’t have some skills, you can’t even be a gangster.

"Ms. Kiana's charm is so strong."

After holding it in for a long time, Shi Hen could only sigh helplessly.

I have to mention that although the fourteen-year-old Kiana has not fully grown up, she is already a real beauty.

Especially the rare long silver hair, which adds a touch of ethereal temperament to the girl.

If she were to put on a gorgeous dress, she would probably be misunderstood as a fairy who had sneaked out from some hidden wonderland.

Of course, the premise is not to talk.

"Hehe~"

Hearing the boy's words, Kiana immediately giggled happily.

The ethereal temperament is gone.

"Would you like some fruit?" Shi Hen asked the girl after catching sight of the street vendors. "I'll treat you."

Although the portion of seafood noodles was quite large, it did not stop the two from having some fruit after the meal.

Hearing the word "treat", the hesitation and confusion on Kiana's face instantly disappeared without a trace, and she immediately said, "I want to eat grapes!"

She hadn't eaten fruits and desserts for a while. After all, the salary of a beach lifeguard was not high, and she was still a minor, so her salary was pitifully low.

Now that someone is willing to treat her, how can she be polite?

Kiana immediately picked a bunch of big red grapes and blinked at the boy beside her.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the girl, who looked like a kitten waiting to be fed, Shi Hen couldn't help but shake his head slightly and put another bunch of grapes in the girl's hand.

With his current wealth, he wouldn't even blink an eye even if he bought all the fruits in the fruit stall.

Once again, praise the generosity of the World Serpent.

Kiana suddenly laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
