134. Chocolate, dopamine and blessings

Herwin had a busy day, so Hora spent a long part of the day alone.

At first she just used these realities to wait for Herwin to come back, she was very good at waiting, and if there was anything she had learned in her time in captivity, it was how to make boring time pass faster.

But it didn't take long for her to find a new way to entertain herself, which was the mountain of books in Hewen's room.

If you think of each book as a world, then the number of books here is as vast as a sea of stars, and when Hora pulls out one, she will see a new one in the place where the book disappeared, even the library of the ancient emperor Alexander cannot compare to this small study.

The books here also cover almost all the types that appear on the market, as well as the forbidden books that must never appear in the sun, except that those books Hara can't pull out at all, and even those books that would be polluted by just seeing the cover will spontaneously disappear when she steps into the study.

At first, Hara's main reading books were fairy tales, and then there were all kinds of books, describing the life of knights, fantasizing about gorgeous epics, about forbidden love, and about human suffering.

And as she reads more, she sets her sights on books that contain more profound knowledge.

At first, she couldn't understand the contents of the book at all, but with her strong memory, she memorized every book she read, and compared it with the other books in her head, she could barely understand part of it.

Choosing a new book every day was a lot of fun, because she had no idea what would be on the shelves the next day, and the luckiest gift was a book written by Hewin himself.

So far, she'd only come across three books written by Herwin herself, which were still on her bedroom desk.

Today she picked a copy of "Natural Environment and Industrial Development", and read it on the bed with relish, and time passed quickly when she was reading, and it didn't take long for her to finish reading the book in a daze.

"Can protecting the environment ultimately protect humanity? Hola took the book back to the study and put it away.

She glanced at the time, it was still a long time before Herwin returned.

When she was in Firth, Herwin asked her that she must not leave the house alone, but after arriving in Aaron, Herwin no longer restrained Hara, telling her that she could move freely around the campus and the city center, but she must bring the bracelet that Herwin gave her, and once the bracelet was taken off, or in danger, Herwin would appear by Hera's side as soon as possible.

The first moment means that it should be a moment.

Although staying in the house is not boring, Hola prefers to go out and about from time to time.

She put on her small satchel and cute round women's leather shoes, pushed open the door, and walked down the quiet path to the more lively part of the campus.

The cute girl haunting the school has become a new school legend, many students have heard of the existence of Hara, and many people look at the girl from afar with the eyes of rare animals.

Hola was bouncing like a rabbit on the school road as if no one was around, she didn't and didn't plan to make any friends here, just felt the breath of nature.

Hara walks to the convenience store she frequents, the owner of which is a gentle and kind mother-in-law, and has given her a lot of candy to eat.

As soon as Hola appeared in front of the shop, the old woman smiled lovingly.

"Little Hola is shopping again, what do you want to eat today?"

Hara looked to the left, where several sneaky-looking young male students were huddled together, glancing in this direction from time to time.

Hola didn't pay attention to them, and walked directly into the store with a sweet smile:

"Mrs. Shelley, I'll take a look at the shop. ”

The old woman looked at the little child with a smile, and reached out and took out a long square strip wrapped in tin foil:

"It's our latest candy, would you like to try a small piece. ”

Hola twitches her nose like a hamster:

"It's so fragrant, what is this?"

Mrs. Shelley looked smug like a child showing off her precious baby to her friends:

"This is called chocolate, it's a very sweet and delicious thing, and there's a lot of interesting knowledge, right?"

Hola sat down in the small chair prepared by the old woman, and showed a curious expression:

"What's the story?"

The old woman said kindly:

"The big boys and girls in the city give each other things on Valentine's Day, and in the old days they used to give away cards and cookies and stuff like that, but in the last decade a lot of people have chosen to give chocolates. ”

Hola looked at Mrs. Shelley with wide eyes:

"Why?"

Mrs. Shelley says:

"That's because about 10 years ago, one of my papers came out, and it mentioned that chocolate not only contains many substances that are good for human health, but also includes substances that can promote dopamine secretion. ”

As she thought about it, she seemed to hear the term dopamine, which seemed to be a very important neurotransmitter.

The old woman went on to explain:

"The right amount of dopamine can make people feel happy, so there is a saying that giving a loved one chocolate to him will make him feel very happy, and some people even say that it can make people feel love, so many people will give this kind of food that is good for the body and very delicious to their favorite object, but in my opinion, the meaning of chocolate is more important. ”

Hara's eyes lit up when she heard that chocolate could make people feel good:

"Mrs. Shelley, how much does this chocolate cost? ”

Mrs. Shelley says:

"20 pence a piece. ”

Of course, this large piece of fine dark chocolate is more than that, and giving away chocolate has always been a luxury game for the upper and middle classes, but the old woman herself is quite wealthy, and it doesn't matter if she sells a few chocolates at a loss.

Hara said happily:

"I want a hundred!"

Mrs. Shelley smiled helplessly and gently:

"How can I have so much chocolate, and do you really have so much money, little Hara?"

Xiao Hara opened the satchel, there was a lot of money in it, she counted it carefully, and said with a serious face:

"I had 42 pounds of pocket money on me. ”

Mrs. Shelley was stunned for a moment, but she quickly regained her smile:

"Actually, I've got five pieces of chocolate here that didn't sell, and they're so cheap, and if you want to restock them, I'll have to sell you 50p. ”

50 pence was actually the purchase price, and the five chocolates were not unsellable, but she had just brought them to Hora.

Hola put her finger to her lips and thought for a moment:

"Then I'll just take my piece of chocolate. ”

Mrs. Shelley advised:

"Don't eat too much a day, or you will be careful to get fat. ”

Hola nodded:

"Don't worry, I bought it and gave it away. ”

Mrs. Shelley was curious:

"Does little Hola have a boy she likes?"

Hara's face flushed slightly:

"There is no boy to like. ”

Hara bought the chocolate to give to Herwen, and she hoped that Hewen would be happy every day after eating the chocolate.
