Chapter 42: A Meal of Dumplings

"What's going on?" Caesar's face was like frost in an instant.

"I'll report back to the academy when I get back to the academy." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to say more, and almost wrote the words "depressed" on his face.

After speaking, Lu Mingfei turned around and left.

It's not that Lu Mingfei doesn't want to add details, he is actually quite willing to describe it in detail with Caesar, for example, Xia Mi cooperated with Chu Zihang and the Dragon King in the peerless battle, how the Nibelungen fought in the dark, how the sun and the moon were dark, how the Dragon King angrily destroyed the Nibelungen and Xia Mi died together, these things are enough to talk for half an hour.

However, there is still a Nuo Nuo next to him, so it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, out of the guilt of being a thief, Lu Mingfei feels that Nuo Nuo is most likely already suspicious, and if he continues to provoke Nuo Nuo's questioning, he is not sure that he will not show his stuffing, it is safer to run first, as long as he is not debunked on the spot, it will be considered a victory.

At noon, Chu Zihang put on his newly bought clothes and found the old community hidden behind the high-rise building, where plane trees were planted, and the yellowed leaves were swaying, cutting the autumn noon sun into pieces.

Building 31 is an old building with a red brick exterior wall, a cement balcony, green painted wooden windows, quite a sense of age, the lighting in the corridor is not good, at noon when you walk in, the eyes are dark, the light in the small window between the corridors shines in, you can see the dust floating in the air.

The green wooden door is nailed with the blue lacquer number of "Unit 15 Room 201", which looks like it has been cleaned not long ago, and it is clean and inconsistent with the temperament of the entire residential building.

Chu Zihang knocked on the door, and then waited quietly, the neighbor's old lady didn't know which corner flashed out, she carried a bottle of soy sauce in her hand, saw Chu Zihang was stunned at first, and then looked at it, and a chrysanthemum-like smile appeared on the old face: "Are you Xiaomi's classmate?"

Chu Zihang nodded implicitly: "She asked me to come to her house for dinner."

The smile on the old lady's face became even bigger, and she hurriedly said, "I'll just say that Xiaomi has a chance, and I won't say that I will bring a boyfriend back when I go to college in the United States, so this is not coming."

At this moment, the door lock rang, and Xia Mi, who opened the door, looked at the old lady, showed a sweet smile, and greeted, "Good afternoon Grandma Zhang! What about soy sauce?"

The old lady shook the soy sauce bottle, looked at Chu Zihang again, and said, "The soy sauce at home is running out, come out and get a bottle, who is this?"

"This is my classmate, who takes good care of me in the United States, so I invited him over to eat dumplings." Xia Mi said with a smile.

"Huh! It's good to eat dumplings, okay, you eat first, I won't delay you from eating dumplings." The old lady nodded and left with a smile.

Xia Mi pulled Chu Zihang into the door, closed the door, and asked, "What kind of stuffing do you eat dumplings?"

Chu Zihang looked around the house, the room was very small, just such a room, there was no bathroom, but it was cleaned by Xia Mi, there was a bed in the center, the sheets and quilts were all clean and tidy white, and the pillows were also white, with the pattern of a relaxed bear printed on it.

There was an old-fashioned chest of drawers in the corner, but the room was very open, because near the balcony was a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and the curtains were beautiful, white lace sheer curtains and dark blue velvet curtains. ….

Of course, people who live in such a house care about curtains, right? If you live alone, you often sit in bed and watch the sun set, right? Do you keep the windows covered in the dead of night? As a dragon, is she afraid of the dark? Chu Zihang thought.

There is also a TV next to the bed, Chu Zihang looks familiar, like the one in the Nibelungen, I don't know when it was made by Xia Mi.

In the corner on the other side is a gas stove and an old-fashioned double-door refrigerator, the pot on which the water is boiling, and next to the stove is a plate of dumplings to be put into the pot.

"What do you say? Three fresh stuffing and pork and green onion filling, which one do you eat?" Seeing Chu Zihang in a daze, Xia Mi patted him dissatisfied.

"I can do it all." Chu Zihang said.

"Then give me all to eat!" Xia Mi raised his eyebrows and said menacingly

"Okay." Chu Zihang said.

So the freshly wrapped dumplings were put into the pot, steaming up a piece of steam, Xia Mi covered the pot, unfolded a folding table, took out two folding stools and set them up, and said: "Sit down, the dumplings will be cooked for a while, cook and eat, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Chu Zihang and Xia Mi sat facing each other, he carefully looked at the girl's face, it was pure and beautiful, clean, like every boy's first love.

"Why are you observing me?" Chu Zihang asked.

"Because you have the mark of Odin on you." Xia Mi said with her cheeks cupped.

"Imprint?" Chu Zihang frowned.

"You've been to the Nibelungen before, not mine, there are a lot of Nibelungen in this world, such as Norton's Bronze City, such as Baijing's subway, people who have been to the Nibelungen and come back alive will have a brand, just like taking a horse to a meadow blindfolded, and then it can go back to memory. You have been to the Nibelungen in Odin, you have taken his imprint with you, and even if you don't know anything about the Nibelungen, you can go back."

"What the hell is Odin?"

"Don't ask so much, there are very few people in this world who have seen Odin with their own eyes, and you are one of them. You are the one he chose, and you will know when you see him again, and I observe you to know about Odin." Xia Mi smiled, "I didn't hesitate to spend money on this, and even deliberately used some charm on you, or called ***, but you are really boring, like a stone, you can't cover it hot, and it's quite frustrating to say."

"So this is ***?" Chu Zihang said softly.

"Alas, Mr. Lu Xun has said—but silence is the highest contempt." Xia Mi tilted his head and smiled, "At that time, I hadn't fully learned human things, *** was very clumsy when I got up, you completely ignored it, just like fighting bosses in the game, and letting the ultimate move go over and playing 'ss,It's really embarrassing and frustrating."

"I'm sorry." Chu Zihang thought for a while and said.

"Don't be sorry." Xia Mi said, "Don't mention this matter again, and I'll be anxious with you again."

"Well, you've been learning about humans?" Chu Zihang then changed the topic.

"Hmm!" Natsumi nodded seriously, "You don't know about dragons at all, just like dragons don't understand you, in fact, dragons and humans are the same, and they were just children who came to this world at the beginning." ….

"Don't dragons see themselves as gods?"

"Hell-mouthed, didn't I say you don't know anything about dragons? Even God has a time when he just opened his eyes to see the world, and he didn't understand anything at that time, what is it if he is not a child?" Xia Mi said.

"So you're also learning how to be a person."

"Yes, I'm going to observe a man's laughter, and figure out why he laughs; I also want to observe a person's sorrow, so that I can disguise that sadness; I sometimes deliberately try to be close to some guys to observe their contradictory desires for me, or you call it 'love,' When I collect these things bit by bit, I can create a Natsumi, a person who has never existed in this world. It's all fake, but this identity allows me to blend in with the human world." Natsumi's eyes showed a blank look, "If it goes well, I should be able to hide it for longer."

Xia Mi suddenly turned his head to look at Chu Zihang, as if he had thought of something interesting, and chuckled, "Aren't you curious what I think of you? Maybe there's some 'true love in there?'

"That sounds too forbidden, unlikely." Chu Zihang said.

"Indeed." Natsumi nodded, not smiling, "Unlikely."

"It's 'sympathy," Natsumi said suddenly.

"Sympathy?"

"Do you know what it's like to be in a crowd and silently observe someone? Especially this person can't find any gossip or any bright spots in his life, you see him practicing shooting alone on the basketball court, watching him stand in front of the window for hours on end watching the rain, watching him clean up alone after school

Practicing alone in the piano room is really boring. You'll think,! What's the matter with this man? If I don't want him to die of depression? Can it be less lonely? What's cool? I'm going to die if I smirk happily?" Natsumi paused, "But you find that you don't hate him, because you're no different from him...... What is the difference between the observer and the observed?"

"Loneliness?"

"Hmm." Natsumi whispered.

"Bloody mourning? Do pure-blooded dragons also have blood sorrow?" Chu Zihang asked.

"The dumplings are cooked." Xia Mi didn't answer, but went to get the dishes and chopsticks, took two bowls of dumplings out, poured a plate of vinegar and put it on the table, "Eat."

So Chu Zihang began to eat dumplings in silence, pork and green onion filling, fresh and sweet, dipped in vinegar tasted a must, three fresh fillings, the taste is also very positive, Xia Mi dumplings and cooking dumplings have reached the top.

With the smell of dumplings, Chu Zihang was also thinking about some things.

The last question, Xia Mi didn't answer, but he vaguely knew the answer, where would pure dragons have any blood sorrow? But Natsumi has, because she is learning about humans, and she is learning very well, so she understands humans, and she becomes human. It's like learning engineering knowledge to the depths, so you become an engineer.

So has she actually been living like this all these years? In fact, there are no parents, no demented brothers, no cabinets full of clothes for her to choose from, no one to cook for her, no one to talk to her, in the silence of the night she sits here, listening to human voices, trying to learn about human beings. The dragon king named "Jörmungad" faked a life named "Natsumi", this "Natsumi" is fake, she does not exist at all, but under this false "Natsumi", there is another real Natsumi, she is no longer an illusory shadow, she is the human identity of Jörmungandr. ….

Jörmungad is Natsumi.

One is Jörmungad, the dragon king; One is Natsumi, who is a human being. Contradictory but unified, this type of people is often called, half-breed.

Who is Natsumi? She was a half-breed, a girl who never showed weakness, even if she was born alone, even if she lived alone in this world, she never deviated from her direction, even in front of an empty house, she would say loudly, "I'm back!"

It should be like this, right?

After eating a meal of dumplings, Chu Zihang ate more than thirty, Xia Mi ate more than twenty, she rubbed her stomach and asked, "How is it?" I'm pretty good at it, right?"

"It's delicious." Chu Zihang nodded.

"When you're done eating, let's go, I won't deliver it." Xia Mi said.

"Okay." Chu Zihang got up.

"Hey, don't you even question it? Are you in a hurry?" Natsumi's tone was a little dissatisfied.

Chu Zihang stood still and looked at Xia Mi.

Xia Mi's tone softened, and she turned her head: "Don't give a ...... before you leave Parting hugs or something?"

Chu Zihang looked at her for a long time, slowly opened his arms to meet her, and gently hugged her in his arms.

Xia Mi's face was close to Chu Zihang's chest, and she gently reached out to caress his hair, and in the next second, Chu Zihang fell softly into her arms.

Xia Mi gently put Chu Zihang on the bed, she leaned over to look at him sleeping peacefully like a big boy, and dropped a kiss on his lips like a dragonfly.

"Good afternoon." Xia Mi took one last look at Chu Zihang, then turned around and closed the door.

At Kempinski, Paulaner Bräuhaus, a guy who looked like a KFC salesman with a family keg on his head beckoned a waiter to refill two glasses of beer.

"Lately I've always felt like a 'second-hand magnet,' which is my newly learned Chinese vocabulary." Opposite Mr. KFC, a short and thin old man shrunk in a chair and said while drinking a beer, "It means that it is always easy to attract some two hundred and five around me, as if it was arranged by fate to collect debts."

"The young heirs of those families have been making a lot of noise lately, and it looks like they were at the hands of Ange last time

Lu Mingfei was a little resentful after the insult, but this is just an emotional matter, but it depends on the strength of the secret party, and the young people are too ignorant." Henkel sighed, "There are also some two hundred and five who happily chartered a flight to Baijing to watch the dragon slaying and the World Expo, and one of them had a relationship with a tour guide during the trip, and he had to break off his marriage with his fiancée of excellent blood...... And you, you're the best of these two hundred and five, do you really think you're Mr. KFC?"

"Hey! Henkel! Since you have learned a little Chinese, it is better to learn a little more, for example, there is a saying in China, 'things gather by like, people by groups, and basic physics also teaches us that the easiest and most attracted by magnets is another magnet, so second-cargo magnets are often second-class goods themselves, but they are not aware of it." Mr. KFC shrugged.

"yes." Henkel took another sip of wine, "Judging by my decision to entrust the future of the half-breed to you, I have to admit that I am also a second product."

The two men were silent for a moment, then laughed in unison and raised their glasses to each other.

"Even you help that kid? Is he the son of destiny, and is favored by all men on earth?" Henkel asked.

"On the contrary," Mr. KFC shook his finger, "I think he would pamper everyone in the world if he had the chance."

"No one loves all people in the world." Henkel said.

"That's right," said Mr. KFC, "so he will love those who deserve love, which is his noble spirit as a human being, and in another way, it also shows that he has all the shortcomings of being human."

"But?" Henkel asked.

"But half of the half-bloods are human, aren't they? I thought the awakening of the bloodline would have some effect on him, but he was still more like a human than any of us, always." Mr. KFC said, "Just like we used to be, we're not righteous guys, and we help him because it's like helping ourselves."

Henkel smiled, took a sip of his beer, and said nothing more.

Lu Mingfei found Xia Mi's house according to the text message, and when he found the key from under the doormat to open the door, he saw Chu Zihang sitting on the bed in the middle of the room, looking around suspiciously.

"Senior brother, are the dumplings delicious? How is Sister Xia Mi's craftsmanship?" Lu Mingfei asked casually.

"Natsumi...... Who is it?"

The expression on Chu Zihang's face when he spoke was as dazed as the expression on Lu Mingfei's face after he obeyed.
