299 Antiques of everyday life
District 1, real house;
Sitting in the living room, Broken Chen looked at Mato Xiao who was busy in the kitchen, and his eyes were a little out of focus.
The real household is not big, it belongs to the kind of small and medium-sized apartment, the area is about 80 square meters, but the whole house is cleaned very clean, almost spotless, it can be seen that the owner is very diligent in cleaning. The decoration in the house is also very simple, but it is this simplicity, and there is a kind of home warmth all the time.
"Sorry to keep you waiting." Mato walked out of the kitchen with the seafood soup that was finally made.
"It's okay, I'm interrupting." Broken Chen stretched out his hand to take the soup bowl in Matoxiao's hand and put it on the dining table, speaking in a very polite tone, it is not difficult to hear the meaning of deliberate alienation.
Matoxiao's eyes darkened, and then he smiled: "Okay, let's eat." ”
"What about the real family? Don't you have to wait for him to come along? ”
While serving dinner to Broken Chen, Mato replied, "Father, he usually lives in the apartment of the main department, and he rarely comes back, and it is only the two of us tonight." ”
Broken Chen had already guessed that this would happen, so he was not surprised, and said "I'm moving" and began to taste the dinner made by Matoko.
"How's it taste?" Looking at where Duan Chen was chewing and swallowing slowly, Zhenhu Xiao's mood was a little apprehensive.
"Well, it tastes good, and your craftsmanship is good." Broken Chen replied casually, this is not perfunctory, the food cooked by Matoshi is indeed delicious, but it is impossible for him to be too enthusiastic, otherwise it will make the other party misunderstand something.
"Really? That's great. Mato seemed to have completed something very important, and breathed a sigh of relief, so he moved his chopsticks.
The atmosphere was more dreary, and the two just ate quietly and didn't speak. Broken Chen didn't want to say it, but Mato Xiao didn't know what to say. When the dinner was over, the two did not say a word.
Putting away the dining table, Mato Xiao made a cup of tea for Broken Chen. Then he sat directly beside Broken Chen, and looked at him quietly.
Broken Chen was uncomfortable with her, and couldn't help but say, "I know, can you not stare at me like this, it feels strange." ”
"Is there one?" Mato smiled and said, "I think it's good, I just like to look at you like this." ”
Hearing this kind of words, which were no different from confession, Duan Chen had a headache: "Xiao, can you calm down?" I've made it clear that we can't. ”
"I'm calm." Mato put away his smile. The eyes are extremely serious: "I didn't cry or make trouble, I have always been calm." You say it's impossible between us, I don't agree with this, you don't have a lover, I'm also single, why is it impossible? ”
Broken Chen didn't speak, the reason he knew himself, but he couldn't tell Matoko. But Zhenhu Xiao is the kind of person who is extremely stubborn emotionally, and it is really a very difficult thing to want her to die. This can be seen from Mato's feelings for Amen Kotaro in the original book. Therefore, mere persuasion will not do anything.
Seeing that Broken Chen didn't speak, Mato Xiao asked, "Why don't you answer me?" ”
"Do you know that you make me feel annoyed like this!" Broken Chen frowned, trying to make himself appear impatient.
Mato stared into Broken Chen's eyes for three seconds. Instead, he smiled happily: "Broken Chen, do you know that your level of panic is very bad, and your acting skills are really poor." ”
Broken Chen was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep look at Zhenhu Xiao. The phrase that a woman in love has a negative IQ is obviously not suitable for this woman. He had obviously acted as truthfully as possible, but he was still recognized by Matoko.
"If it's okay, I'll go first." Broken Chen offered to leave. Get up and go.
Mato Xiao didn't keep it, but just sent it to the door and said "pay attention to safety on the road", because she knew to relax in moderation. I have to say that Mato Xiao is really calm in dealing with emotional issues, but he is a little tendoned.
Out of the door of the real household, Duan Chen patted his somewhat stiff face and prepared to go back to his apartment. For Mato Xiao, he decided that it would be good to drag it out like this, anyway, when the time comes to return to the main world, the two will not have a chance to see each other again, rather than provoke no result after provoking, it is better not to start like this.
It's not that Duanchen is indecisive on emotional issues, it's just that because he has someone in his heart, he won't think about anything else, and if you want to blame it, blame the author for not arranging the setting of amorous for him.
The next day, Broken Chen first reported to the headquarters of District 1, and after staying in the office for a long time, he left, and went straight to District 20 alone, he wanted to see how the people in the antique coffee house were doing.
Driving downstairs to the antique coffee house, Duan Chen just got out of the car and unexpectedly met a person.
"Ahh What a coincidence, Mr. Investigator, we meet again. Yongjin Yingliang pushed a bicycle, as if he was about to leave, and when he saw Broken Chen, he politely said hello.
Broken Chen recognized the yellow-haired boy as a friend of Kanekiken, and they had chatted together in a coffee shop a few days ago, so he smiled and said, "Hello, we meet again." ”
"Is Mr. Investigator here for coffee?" Yongjin Yingliang is still the same as before, full of vitality, but there is something wrong with his expression, as if he has something on his mind.
"Yes, I like the coffee in this shop so much that I often come here to sit down." Broken Chen smiled, "By the way, why didn't you see your friend and didn't come along?" ”
At the mention of Jin Mu Yan, Yongjin Yingliang's expression froze, and the smile on his face gradually turned into worry: "Jin Mu had an accident, he had an accident at a construction site two days ago, Jin Mu was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital, and he is still in the intensive care unit, I don't know what happened." ”
"Well, that's unfortunate."
"But I'm sure that guy from Kaneki will be fine, I'm going to see him in the hospital now, and hopefully there will be good news." "See you next time, Mr. Investigator." ”
"Well, good luck to you and your friends, goodbye."
Watching Yongjin Yingliang go away, Duan Chen touched his chin thoughtfully: "Jin Mu has been hospitalized, and the day when he joins the antique is not far away, so what should I do with him then?" ”
For Jin Muyan, Broken Chen has no special opinion, and if he has to say it, Jin Mu's weak personality makes him look down on him a little. In the original book, Kaneki completed his transformation after going through a lot of things, from a weak and deceitful person to a powerful meow.
As the protagonist of this world, there's nothing wrong with Kaneki having potential. However, his potential must be stimulated enough to be truly unleashed. If you turn him into a vampire too early, I'm afraid it will be a bad thing, and if you haven't experienced those miserable Jinmu, even if you have strong potential, you will be reduced to waste.
Therefore, on the issue of how to treat Jin Mu, Broken Chen felt that it was necessary to think carefully. If you use it well, Jin Mu will be a powerful boost, otherwise it will be a pity if it is buried.
"Forget it, let's talk about it when the time comes." With this in mind, Broken Chen pushed open the door of the coffee house.
"Welcome!" Dong Xiang, who was standing in front of the cash register, heard the sound of wind chimes. immediately welcomed the guests with a smile on his face, but after seeing the visitor, the smile on Dong Xiang's face became ugly in a blink of an eye.
"Why are you bastard!" Dong Xiang said with a huff, as if he was still making trouble about yesterday's incident.
Broken Chen chuckled: "Hehe, be polite when you speak, Dong Xiangchan." Yu Gong and I are a guest, and you are not the attitude you should have towards guests. Yu Private, I am your benefactor, is it a bit unreasonable to treat a benefactor like this? ”
"You!" Dong Xiang puffed out his mouth. You can't let it out. Although he knew that what Broken Chen said was right, as soon as he saw the unchanging smile on his face, Dong Xiang's heart was on fire. As for the reason, Dong Xiang didn't know. Anyway, as long as she thinks of Broken Chen, the whole person will feel irritated for no reason.
"A plain mocha and a sandwich." Broken Chen ordered something good, ignoring Dong Xiang's gaze of wanting to eat people. Walk over to the bar and sit down.
There were quite a few customers in the shop, most of whom had listened to Broken Chen's speech a few days ago, so they saw him, the search officer, come in. There was no overreaction, but many people nodded to him.
Seeing that Xuan and Furuma Madoka were busy, and when they saw Broken Chen, they immediately stopped what they were doing and bowed to Broken Chen with gratitude. Although he did not speak, the meaning of gratitude was enough to express.
Broken Chen probed the changes in the aura on the two of them, and said with a smile: "Congratulations." ”
"Thank you for your help." Irumi bowed again, a sincere smile on her face. Due to the transformation of the blood clan, Irumi Xuan's skin looks pale compared to before, but it just adds a bewitching beauty to her originally elegant face, which attracts many male guests to look sideways. The innate unique charm of the blood clan is fully revealed in her.
Compared to Irumi Xuan, the change in Furuma Yuan is not very obvious. He is more joyful in his own right, and he has not become handsome after becoming a vampire, at most he has changed from a fat man to a pale-skinned fat man.
However, the two of them have indeed strengthened a lot in terms of strength, they were originally SS-level meows, and after becoming a blood clan, the starting point is also higher than that of ordinary people, directly reaching the viscount level, and their combat power is more than twice as strong as before.
"You're welcome, I'm helping you and myself." Broken Chen waved his hand, "How are you feeling now?" Is there anything wrong with it? ”
Irumi Xuan thought for a while, lowered her voice and said, "It's a little uncomfortable, when I go out in the morning, the sun will sting on my body." ”
Broken Chen scratched his head: "This is my negligence, pure-blooded bloodlines can't be active in the sun, otherwise they will be burned, you guys should pay attention in the future, don't be exposed to the sun for too long." ”
"Is there anything that can be done to change that?" Seeing Xuan asked, she didn't want to give up the opportunity to live in the sun just like that.
Broken Chen thought for a while, and replied in a low voice: "There is also a way, as long as you eat more blood, especially the blood of the mew seed, so that your bloodline level will evolve faster, and when you reach the earl level, the characteristic of fear of sunlight will be weakened, and there will be no effect after the duke level." ”
"Mean, it's all about our own strength?"
"That's right, that's what it means."
"What's going on with Dong Xiang-chan? Her strength is not as good as ours, but why is she not afraid of the sun? ”
When asked by Jian Xuan, Broken Chen hesitated for a moment and replied: "That's because Dong Xiang is different, she is a mutated blood clan, so"
"Oh~~ I see, Dong Xiangchan has special preferential treatment." Seeing Xuan glanced meaningfully at Dong Xiang over there. The latter's face was already red, apparently hearing the conversation here.
Broken Chen is thick-skinned and doesn't react much, mainly because he doesn't have a ghost in his heart, so he won't be weak-hearted. Noticing that Dong Xiang frequently looked at his side, Duan Chen deliberately picked up the sandwich he ordered and ate it with taste.
And this is clearly a provocation for Dong Xiang, who awakened the foodie attribute after being able to eat human food.
"Damn! This bastard! ”
