"Well, I'd love to see you too. Really, nothing happened, Hongling is still sleeping, I'm making breakfast, waiting for the meeting. ”

Jiang Shang was already busy, and he didn't contact his soul servant when he woke up yesterday, and as a result, several soul birds flew in the morning, and they were chirping on the windowsill, and they couldn't respond.

As the only gold emblem in the city, and with no mission of its own, Ziriel has been commissioned by the Night's Watch to clean up the remaining abandoned beasts.

Just finished dealing with Qi Lier, who was very resentful, Liu Min's soul bird also arrived.

"I'd like to talk to you about the Star Soul. As soon as possible. ”

"Hehe, I almost guessed that today is the first day of school, so I can't be late. Seven o'clock in the evening, old place. ”

turned over his eggs, and it was still pitch black outside, but the soul stones were much brighter than before, which made Jiang Shang inexplicably happy.

The house left by my parents is not very furnished, but it is quite spacious, with a living room with a part-time dining room on the first floor and four rooms on the second floor.

Ten minutes later, there were some simple homely meals on the table in the living room.

Although he has made a lot of money recently, there is still no flesh on the table.

From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, accustomed to the days of thrift, Jiang Shangke has no intention of changing his living habits.

Even, last night, the budget-conscious Jiang Shang had calculated the money into the living expenses three years later.

"We spent 15% more meat than in the past, and we only spent 7% more on materials, which is the result of rising prices after the disaster, which is completely acceptable. Well, it seems that the Great Derivation Star Decision is really practical. ”

Use the nine-star soul power martial arts to cook, use the improved memory ability to record the price of each dish, use the extraordinary computing power to calculate the combined material cost of each recipe, and link the calories provided to every penny.

No wonder others say that the other side of greed is stinginess, and if Jiang Taigong has a spirit under the spring, I am afraid that he will cry on the spot.

But for a bitter child like Jiang Shang who is used to self-reliance, it is more useful to be able to make life a better life for himself and his family, than any liliang.

At this time, early in the morning, tempted by food, Hongling sleepwalked along the fragrance in a daze, or, should I say, instinctively went downstairs to forage for food.

When she came back last night, she went to the life therapist again, and more than three days were enough for her to dispel the fire poison from her wounds.

After eating the sick porridge for three days, today, while sitting down, Hongling has already chewed happily.

Although the ingredients are very ordinary, after being processed by Jiang Shang's chef-level craftsmanship, the taste is surprisingly good.

"Well... It's delicious, I determined it yesterday, you really have the attributes of a good wife and mother. It's rare for a boy to be as good at cooking as you are. ”

"If no one does it, you'll starve. If you are hungry and practice more, you will naturally be able to. Moreover, what Xiaomei makes is completely dark cuisine. ”

"By the way, you have a sister? Why didn't I see her. ”

"Well, her name is Jiang Xiaoyue, and she attends a boarding girls' school in Linshi. You also know that it is very inconvenient to travel between cities, and in addition to the tight schoolwork, she can only come back at the end of the semester. ”

"My parents are professional night watchmen like you, and in the past, they controlled me to death, but now that they are gone, it is easier."

That's just a bluff lie, and no child doesn't expect love from their parents.

With a skillful smile, it has become a habit to hide the weakness that will only be ridiculed, and Jiang Shang recounted his tragic past with a smile.

"Hey....I told you."

"What?"

"You're smirking at me, I'm going to knock off your disgusting mask!"

It was the first time I met at a bar, and this time, the result was the same as last time.

"Smack."

It was the sound of fists and teeth kissing gently, and as she spoke, the girl with great mobility made the first move.

"....... you've already fought, and, you haven't said it!"

"Then I'll add it now. Also, don't talk about yourself like a tragic hero! A guy like you, this shijie is all in the end! ”

"Like you?"

Put away the precocious sleek world, like an enraged lion, the boy also lifted the other party's scars.

“…….”

"According to what you said yesterday, I asked the association for your information."

"Fifteen years old, you are only half a year older than me, and you have been begging for a living in Shijie outside since five years ago. If your parents are here, no matter how good your talent is, you won't .........."

"Humph! Don't say as if you know everything. I'm not a bastard like you who indulges in peace. Parents? I don't even know who they are. ”

"Don't look at me with such sympathy, I'll squash you. I'm very happy, I've successfully hunted D-class abandoned beasts independently at the age of ten, and I'm a true genius."

I said. Don't look at me like that....... or I'll kill you no matter what the task is! ”

Looking at the resolute girl, Jiang Shang's heart ached inexplicably, when he woke up, Hongling still had a wound on her arm, and her whole body was full of scorching smell, but when she saw that she woke up, the happiness from the bottom of her heart couldn't deceive people.

Therefore, he invited her, not for her liliang, after the awakening of the star soul, Jiang Shang was confident that one day, he would rely on his own efforts and the star soul to reach the peak,

He expected Hong Ling to be his companion, but he felt that that bright smile was very precious, and perhaps, Hong Ling would be a trustworthy companion.

Even if he saw that Hongling's reputation was not in the past, he believed in his own vision, and still chose to let the other party become his companion.

"Obviously about the same age as us, but covered in scars, these days, just in the middle of the night there are five nightmares, the lotus of betrayal, the team disaster, the embodiment of misfortune? Oh, joke, I only trust my own eyes. ”

The angry stare turned into a sympathetic gaze at some point, but Hong Ling became inexplicably anxious.

"It's disgusting, I can't eat it!!"

slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table, but Hongling planned to leave, but she didn't succeed.

Because, she was hugged by Jiang Shang from behind.

"I know it's hard to be lonely...... At least, in the future, you won't be alone. ”

The boy's face, with rare sadness and sincerity, was suddenly attacked by the opposite sex, and the girl suddenly froze.

"Be my companion, although we are still weak, and I can't guarantee that we will become the strongest, but at least, we will become real family."

Yes, family, from the stories his father heard, the companions of his father's warband were his most precious family members besides himself and his sister.

"Dawen, what a stupid person who doesn't grow up, he likes Isha so much, but he blushes and doesn't even dare to confess. Ah Shang, by the way, I'll teach you, I saw Daven call uncle, I saw Isha, remember to call sister, I think that kid is going to go to the corner to draw circles again. ”

"Don't listen to your father, Davin thought he was so much older than Isa, so he was embarrassed to confess."

Jiang Shang still remembers that when his parents mentioned Uncle Davin and Aunt Isa's aiqing long-distance run, it was as if they saw their younger brother who was not angry.

Therefore, Sun Dawen didn't know that Jiang Shang knew that he was his father's companion from the beginning, and trusted the other party wholeheartedly.

The night watchman who entrusts his life to the other party may be similar to the family made up of blood.

At least, for Jiang Shang, this invitation to become a companion is no different from becoming a family member.

But the girl was frightened.

"Family? Is this a marriage proposal? ’

Suddenly, as her name suggests, Hong Ling's face turned red all of a sudden, and after a pause after a few seconds, she turned back and struck hard.

"Hmph, annoying, disgusting."

Dropping this sentence, he carried his schoolbag and ran out of the house in a fleeing style.

It's just that if she really doesn't care, weishenme's face is red, if she is really disgusted, why don't she just refuse with a cold face, if she is really annoyed, that punch will go down, Jiang Shang's head should be broken

Touching his nose, Jiang Shang, who was sitting on the ground, couldn't cry or laugh.

This time, he's ahead of Jihua again.

"weishenme, I'll put my arms around her all at once...... I've seen enough of the sadness, and vowed not to be weak anymore....... maybe, at that moment, I confused her with my stubborn sister... Well, definitely not because she felt sad heartache. ”

Jiang Shang, who was also dishonest, sat up, and while sighing that Hongling's hands were getting heavier and heavier, he quickly packed up the tableware, and if he didn't leave, he would definitely be late.

When he passed by the windowsill and looked at the group photo of his family, he remembered his father's words again.

"Ah Shang, in this shijie, the companions of the war group are family members, so it doesn't matter how strong it is, it's the most important thing to look at. If you meet a guy who is pleasing to the eye, you can get along with a family feeling, don't hesitate, and pull the other party in. ”

"Huh? If you don't understand, it's enough to memorize, and later, you will be useful one day. Remember, the feeling is more real than anything else, when you have the feeling of 'it's him', you must work hard to win it, that's how your dad got your mom back then. ”

At that time, I looked at my father's eyes ignorant and dazed, but my father touched his head and said that as long as he met the right person, he would understand.

"Yes, I understand now." Thinking of the fiery red figure facing the endless beasts alone, and thinking of the lonely eyes, the boy made up his mind.

"Absolutely, let Hongling be my companion!"
