Xiang Kun connects to "Alice" through his mobile phone and asks her to collect information about the patient who lives in the third hospital and claims to be a "vampire", and see if she can determine the identity of the patient first.

Communicating with "Alice" and posting tasks through mobile phones is naturally a potential safety hazard, but for the time being, no one knows about the existence of "Alice", and "Alice" is responsible for her own safety, so there will be no problem.

He checked the various information about Lao Xia collected by "Alice" again, he had manually checked Lao Xia's information before, and later let "Alice" collect it.

However, the information that can be searched on the Internet basically does not show that there is anything abnormal about Lao Xia, she is a very good student all the way from elementary school to middle school to university.

During this time, Alice also found various comments related to Lao Xia posted on the Internet by people who knew Lao Xia through big data identity comparison.

Judging from the comments of her classmates around her, they are all "beautiful, relatively cold, not social, like to be alone, very smart, good grades, and strong athletic ability".

And Xiang Kun also found that judging from the information collected by Alice, among the people who said they liked Lao Xia on the Internet and even confessed, there were many more girls than boys.

In the eyes of the girls, Lao Xia has always been a very handsome and cool person, whether it is extremely high appearance, super IQ, tall figure, good physical fitness, or informal neutral dress, it makes them feel almost perfect. Even Lao Xia's long hair after graduating from high school broke the hearts of many of her former middle school classmates and sisters.

However, this information is not of much use to Xiang Kun, because he knows that the perception of others has nothing to do with Lao Xia, and she is basically not affected, and has always maintained an "observer" posture, even when conducting group activities.

Xiang Kun kept rummaging through the information she had collected from Alice that she thought would be useful for Xiang Kun to judge Lao Xia's situation, hoping to further improve the establishment of Lao Xia's cognitive model, so that when he and Lao Xia had dinner at noon, he could communicate with Lao Xia in a more appropriate way and with more effective strategies and get the information he wanted.

......

Three Hospitals.

Xia Libing was in the duty room, in front of her was the notebook she brought on duty, controlling the touchpad with one hand, opening a folder, browsing the information inside, and holding a crispy pig hand in the other hand and throwing it up and down.

When the pig's hand is tossed, it sometimes changes in the air, turning into a Napoleon cake and then falling back into her hand, and when it touches her hand, even the puff pastry of some cakes will fall off due to vibration, but when she tosses it again, it will become a pig's knuckle again.

Regarding his ability to suddenly "appear" these two dream foods, Xia Libing did have a lot of questions to answer as Xiang Kun expected.

Even at one point, she was a little skeptical that she was still dreaming, the "lucid dream" she had before was actually a dream within a dream, and now this dream was another nested dream, but she didn't realize that she was dreaming.

Otherwise, the two things that "appeared" were too unreasonable and difficult to explain in her knowledge system.

Although many things, including the projection of the three coins introduced through special induction in the dream, including the first "appearance" of the Napoleon cake after waking up, she realized it step by step according to her previous plan.

But if it does, she still needs to find a way to explain it all in terms of real-world theory.

However, after receiving Xiang Kun's WeChat, she stopped thinking about it.

What she was now browsing on her computer was not any information related to the origin of the two "together" items, but the information she had been collecting about Xiang Kun.

It not only contains a lot of basic information about Xiang Kun that she collected through the Internet, but also a lot of content that she has personally observed and summarized.

From the WeChat message sent to Kun just now, Xia Libing can basically conclude:

She dreamed of something strange that happened tonight, and when she woke up, she was able to "appear" two kinds of food, Xiang Kun should have known about it, or at least noticed it.

As for how she knew, she thought it was inseparable from the items that Xiang Kun gave her.

And from the WeChat content sent by Xiang Kun, she also keenly judged that Xiang Kun might have a "showdown" with her tomorrow, or at least there would be a basic explanation for her ability to "show" cakes and pig hands.

In this way, we will naturally be able to get more relevant information tomorrow, so that it will be easier and more targeted to find relevant theoretical systems in reality to explain these phenomena.

Therefore, she had to re-examine the information and information she had about Xiang Kun to decide how she should communicate with Xiang Kun tomorrow.

......

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiang Kun was still the same as yesterday, after judging that they were about to wake up through his parents' physical information, he went to prepare breakfast.

After they got up and washed up, they "just" put the ready, hot breakfast on the table.

Mom and dad also seem to be a little used to their son's diligence, so they didn't say anything more today, and sat down at the table to eat.

"What time did you come back last night?" asked my mother as she ate the beef soup Xiang Kun made.

"Whether it's two o'clock or three o'clock, I didn't pay much attention to the time when I came back. Xiang Kun said.

"So you wake up so early, don't you sleep much?"

"I sleep well, four hours of sleep is the best for eight hours. ”

"Bragging...... By the way, what you did last night, Xiao Xia is used to eating, right?" asked my mother with concern.

Xiang Kun knew that the previous sentences were actually just a casual foreshadowing by her mother, and when she woke up, she actually wanted to ask questions related to Lao Xia.

"Needless to say? It's not that I blow it, the dishes I made last night can't be made by chefs in five-star hotels. ”

"Alas...... You kid, why did you suddenly become so pompous, modest, and steady, girls don't like men who are too conceited. So, after you had supper with Xiao Xia last night, you stayed in the hospital until two or three o'clock before you came back?" asked my mother.

"Pretty much. Xiang Kun said, "By the way, I won't come to dinner at noon, you cook your own food?"

"What do you say...... It's just this year that you suddenly became interested in cooking, and you made a few meals, as if we didn't know how to cook anymore. Hey, does Xiao Xia still have to be on duty today? If you don't have to be on duty, you can also find some time to ask her out to play. Xiang Ma is basically three sentences now, and she is inseparable from "Xiao Xia".

Xiang Kun said: "I just have something to find Xiao Xia at noon." ”

A smile immediately bloomed on Xiang's mother's face, with an expression of "son, you finally have your brains enlightened": "That's okay, that's okay, don't come back for dinner, we can solve it ourselves." ”

Xiang Kun said helplessly: "Mom, don't think too much, Xiao Xia and I are going to talk about serious things." ”

Xiang Ma nodded again and again: "I know, serious." ”

Xiang Kun didn't continue to explain, chatted about other topics for a while, and seeing that the time was almost up, he brought the ingredients prepared by the family before, and prepared to go to the third courtyard to find Lao Xia, and go to her rented house to cook together.

Watching Xiang Kun go out, Xiang Dad looked at his wife with some sigh: "Don't say it, the child came back twice, but he made a few meals, but one meal was better than the other, and now I feel that my appetite is a little raised." The thought that it was not my son cooking at noon made me feel that my appetite was much worse. ”

Xiang Ma glared at him: "What, are you starting to dislike the food I cook is unappetizing?"

"Hey, it's different, you've been cooking for decades, but you're too used to it, and there's no surprise, but of course it tastes good. Xiang Dad also realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and quickly remedied it.

Xiang Ma snorted and said, "Then you should eat less at noon and lose weight!"

......

After Xiang Kun left home, he took the bus directly to the Third Hospital, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the Third Hospital, he saw Xia Libing standing at the bus stop with a bag waiting for him.

The bag she was carrying was the bag that Xiang Kun had brought her clothes before.

After meeting, Xiang Kun casually asked, "You didn't sleep well last night, right?"

"I'm dreaming again. Lao Xia said.

"What kind of dream?"

"When I was a kid, I went to eat with my parents. Xia Libing said briefly and concisely.

"Did you wake up after that dream, and then you couldn't sleep?"

"Yes. ”

"Nightmare?"

"It's not. ”

"Is there a bakery, pastry shop, or anything like that next to your house?" Let's go buy some desserts and eat them after lunch, didn't you say that you like Napoleon cakes the most?" Xiang Kun suddenly asked.

Xia Libing looked at him: "No, I've already prepared." ”

"Oh, that's right. Xiang Kun looked back at her with a smile.

The house rented by Xia Libing is basically the same as the last time Xiang Kun came, judging from the situation in the kitchen, it is obvious that Xia Libing basically does not cook when he is alone.

Like last time, Xiang Kun still arranged for Xia Libing to help him, wash vegetables, simply handle ingredients and other things, and when he was done, he asked her to go to the living room and wait.

At noon, four dishes and one soup were prepared, which should be more hearty for two people.

After Xia Libing finished eating, he looked at Kun and was about to cook, and suddenly said, "If you don't want to eat, you don't have to be reluctant." ”

Xiang Kun was stunned, he didn't expect Lao Xia to start with this topic.

"Why do you think I'm barely eating?"

"I've always felt that way. Xia Libing held the bowl and said while picking up vegetables: "Looking back now, the first time you played cards at Nana's house, it wasn't that you didn't like watermelon, you didn't like anything, right?"

Xiang Kun said: "When I invite you to dinner, you also have something to eat?"

Xia Libing shook his head: "You eat too little, although you have a reason every time, but I can see that you have no craving for food, no matter what kind of food you eat, you eat it as if you are completing a task, pretending to show us." ”

Xiang Kun didn't deny it anymore, he put down the empty bowl, put the chopsticks on the bowl, crossed his hands, and put them on the table.

"Lao Xia, when you eat, it seems that it is not the same as in other situations?" Xiang Kun said, "Like you said, the dreams you have have are all related to eating." I have had two dreams recently, one is that I invite you to dinner at my house, and the other is that your parents take you to dinner.

Lao Xia nodded: "Hungry." Then she began to eat, still her usual style, eating quickly, but it didn't seem rude, and even had an inexplicable sense of rhythm, as if she had practiced how to eat more efficiently.

Xiang Kun only asked after seeing Lao Xia finish a bowl of rice: "Aren't you an only daughter, and your family conditions are quite good, how can you be starved? Is something wrong?"

Xia Libing glanced at him and asked rhetorically, "Are you eating any unconventional food?"

Xiang Kun also looked at Xia Libing, nodded after a while, and said, "Yes." ”

Next, Xia Libing ate another bowl of rice, and half of the dishes on the table were also wiped out.

What she was holding in her hand at this time was the pair of chopsticks that Xiang Kun gave her, so Xiang Kun could naturally sense her emotions, but it was no different from her emotions when she had supper last night, it was all the appetite for food, the urge to possess food, and the restraint that suppressed this impulse.

After eating another bowl of rice, Xia Libing put down the dishes and chopsticks, and suddenly got up and entered the kitchen.

Xiang Kun could know that she had taken a porcelain plate in the kitchen through her super hearing, and just when he was guessing what Lao Xia was going to do, he suddenly keenly noticed that his ability was being invoked, so the next moment, he saw Xia Libing walking out of the kitchen with a porcelain plate, and on the porcelain plate was a very tempting Napoleon cake.

"The dessert I prepared. Lao Xia directly put the plate in front of Xiang Kun, and then sat down opposite him and looked at him: "Eat and see how it tastes." ”

Xiang Kun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lao Xia, laughed slowly, and brought the plate in front of her: "Isn't this your favorite cake?" ”

Lao Xia brought the plate over again: "I've eaten it, this is for you." ”

"Have you really eaten it?" asked Xiang Kun, looking at her.

Xia Libing also looked at him: "I've eaten it before." ”

Xiang Kun pointed to the cake on the plate: "Are you sure it can be eaten?"

"You try. Xia Libing said.

"You take a bite first. Xiang Kun said.

Xia Libing looked at him and didn't answer, but she could see her attitude.

"Why don't we play coin guessing, whoever loses will eat first?" Xiang Kun said, bouncing a coin from his hand.

"Don't play. Xia Libing shook his head.

"Rock-paper-scissors?" suggested to Kun again.

Xia Libing still shook his head.

Xiang Kun understood what she meant, and reached out to pick up the Napoleon cake on the plate.

He naturally knew that this was the cake that Lao Xia had just "appeared", but as soon as he started it, he clearly felt that this cake was a little different from what he had "appeared".

It feels like there's an unreal sense of unreality in the grip, not as clear as the feel of his "present" cake.

Xiang Kun slowly opened his mouth and took a bite into the cake.

As expected, the cake disappeared in the hand.

Xiang Kun didn't show the slightest expression of surprise, he naturally put down his hand, and then put the empty plate in front of Lao Xia, and the next moment, a new Napoleon cake appeared on it.
