Food saved the world.
Hannibal picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth.
The soft and delicious porridge and the salty and tender shredded chicken made him forget his embarrassment.
After swallowing the still-warm shredded chicken porridge, she felt her whole body warming up.
Issou saw it.
Hannibal didn't rest well last night.
The headache and irritation caused by insomnia made his face look particularly ugly when no one was around.
But after half a bowl of shredded chicken porridge,
His complexion improved a lot, and his originally tense nerves also relaxed.
At this moment …
Hannibal didn't think about the reason for his insomnia these days, or rather, he didn't have the mood to think about it at all. His mind was full of the salty shredded chicken porridge.
The taste was so delicious that he couldn't stop eating.
After the shredded chicken porridge in the thermos was in Hannibal's stomach, he was so satisfied that even his cold blue eyes were tinged with some warmth.
He didn't look so gloomy anymore.
His gaze fell on the empty thermos.
He couldn't help but think of Issou, who greeted him energetically this morning.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed.
Issou, of course, didn't know what happened at Hannibal's house.
She didn't know what he was thinking, but she could feel that when she saw Hannibal again, his attitude towards her seemed to be …
A little bit sincere.
Issou: "…"
This development was a bit familiar.
It seemed that everyone who ate the food she cooked was like this.

Empire State University.
"Hey, Peter."
Sitting in his seat, a little tanned fatty was using the table as a cover to browse the campus network with a tablet.
When he saw the headlines, he said to his deskmate,
"Professor Moriarty is in the limelight today.
I heard that a lot of people went to watch.
Did you see it when you came? "
"What?" Peter Parker, who didn't know what was going on, had a blank expression on his face. "Ned, what are you talking about?"
"Don't you know?" Ned Leeds, also known as the little black fatty, turned to look at Peter. "Professor Moriarty has become a visiting professor in our school this semester. I heard that many students in the mathematics department are going crazy."
Don't misunderstand, he wasn't about to explode from anger, but from excitement.
After all, there were not many young, handsome, and tasteful professors.
"Are you Professor James Moriarty, the author of Asteroid Dynamics?" Peter said, "I remember that when he was 21 years old, he published a paper on the binomial theorem, right?"
"That's right, it's him." Ned nodded and said, "I heard that our school has extended an olive branch to Professor Moriarty a long time ago, but he refused. Do you know why he agreed this time?"
Peter said, "Don't keep us in suspense, Ned."
"Haha." Ned smiled, and his chin trembled. He said, "I don't know, but there are a lot of 'insiders'."
He emphasized the word "insiders". Obviously, he felt that these people's guesses were obviously unreliable, but he still casually picked an "insider" to talk to.
"This' insider 'said that he has a little unreliable guess. Professor Moriarty agreed to be a visiting professor at our school because he was amazed by the chef of the new Chinese restaurant near our school."
"Is this still 'unreliable'?" After Peter heard Ned's words, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth. "It sounds very unreliable, okay?"
"That's right." Ned nodded. "Many people below said that his advertising placement was too stiff. It was a completely bad review, but …"
As he spoke, he scrolled down and saw the comments below. "Later, many people changed their minds and said that what he said was very reliable."
Seeing that Peter looked at him curiously, Ned didn't keep him in suspense. He continued, "Because after they went to the Chinese restaurant and tasted it, they all felt that Professor Moriarty agreed to be a visiting professor at our school because of the delicious food. This guess is completely correct. There's nothing wrong with it at all."
Peter: "…"
"Uh, is it really that delicious?" Peter didn't suspect that the owner of this Chinese restaurant hired an army of trolls because the campus network implemented real-name registration.
"Well …" Ned touched his double chin and said, "Let's try it at noon and find out."
Peter didn't have any objections to Ned's suggestion, so at noon, Peter and Ned went to "My Chinese Restaurant" according to the address on the campus network.
Since the day it opened, the business of the Chinese restaurant had been improving day by day. When Peter arrived today, the Chinese restaurant was almost full.
But it was only almost full.
Clarice saw Peter and Ned standing at the door and quickly welcomed them in. She led them to an empty table and asked, "Are there two of you?"
"Yes." Peter nodded and was led to an empty table by Clarice with Ned. After they sat down, Clarice gave each of them a menu. "This is the menu. You can take a look at what you want to eat first. I'll come and order for you later."
As the only waiter in "My Chinese Restaurant", Clarice was so busy that she wished she had a clone technique instead of a door opening technique (…). After all, "My Chinese Restaurant" didn't have a delivery service for the time being, so the clone technique was more practical.
Clarice thought silently in her heart while she made tea for Peter and the others. Then, she hurried back to the table and continued to order for the previous table.
Because of the lack of manpower, Issou saw that Clarice was busy and decided to serve the dishes himself. When he passed by her, he whispered to her, "Don't worry, I'll order for that table."
With that said, Issou walked toward Peter's table and said, "Sorry for making you wait. What would you like to eat?"
Hearing this, Peter subconsciously looked up and was stunned to see Issou in a chef's robe. He recognized her immediately. After all, good-looking people weren't easy to forget.
However, he was the Spider-man that day. Today, he was Peter Parker, so he didn't show any reaction that he had seen Issou before. And the black-haired girl didn't notice the difference.
However …
Ned asked, "Peter, which one would you like to order?"
Issou: "…???"
Peter?
Hearing Ned's words, Peter, who didn't know that he had attracted Issou's attention, discussed with his friends and began to order.
If Ned's pig-like teammate, Leeds, had managed to make Peter lose 50% of his confidence by shouting his name, then Peter himself had managed to make him lose 100% of his confidence.
After all, it had only been a few days. Just like Peter still recognized Issou's face, Issou also remembered Peter's voice.
So …
He was the Spider-man!!?
Issou's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at Peter. With his slightly curly hair and big brown eyes, if one didn't know his other identity, he would look like a cute big boy.
Peter, who didn't know that he had been completely exposed, was now playing the role of a customer in front of Issou. After ordering, he handed the menu back to Issou, "Okay, that's it."
Issou took back the menu, "Okay, please wait a moment."
After Issou left, Ned looked at Peter and asked, "Peter, do you know her?"
Of course, he was referring to Issou.
Hearing this, Peter didn't try to hide it. He nodded and whispered, "Didn't I tell you before that I stopped a gunman from robbing a supermarket? She was there at the time. "
"Oh, oh." Ned suddenly remembered. He also lowered his voice, "How was it? She didn't recognize you, right? "
"Of course not," Peter said matter-of-factly, "My disguise is completely flawless."
Issou, who thought that Little Spider might have misunderstood the word 'flawless', "…???"
Little Spider, you're making a fool of yourself!?
Back to the topic, seeing that Peter pretended not to see him, Issou also played along and pretended not to recognize him. However, the amount of food served to Peter and Ned's table completely exposed her bias.
One of the guests sitting at the table next to Peter's table happened to be Eugene Thompson, who often bullied Peter in high school and became a hardcore Spider-man fan after the Spider-man was born.
Thompson, who did not know that the Peter he used to bully was the Spider-man he now idolized, looked at the braised prawns on his table and then looked at the braised prawns on Peter's table.
The two servings of Braised Prawns were both bright red in color and fragrant, making people salivate. But the problem was — —
Why was their braised prawns on the same size, but Peter's was extra large?!
With this in mind, Thompson asked. In fact, it was not only him, even Peter and Ned noticed the difference in the amount of the two braised prawns.
Ned shot Peter a look —
Are you sure she didn't recognize you?
Peter gave his friend a blank look —
He was not sure now, okay?
As the initiator of favoritism, Issou did not feel guilty at all after being asked by Thompson. She held the tray upright in her arms, then pointed at Peter and said confidently, "I can't help it, don't you think he has a particularly likable face?"
Yi Su's words were magnanimous, there was no ambiguity to speak of, but it also made it easy for people to hear that she really liked Peter.
Eugene, the most popular football idol, Thompson: "…???"
Who?
Who did you say?
Thompson subconsciously wondered if he had recognized the wrong person. The person sitting at the table next to him was not Peter Parker, but when he took a closer look —
What the f * ck is Peter Parker!
"Uh, there's no need to trouble you, right?" Issou was a little dizzy when she heard Jean's name. Jean Grey? If she remembered correctly, this was the name of the Phoenix Girl in "XMen", right?
Was it a coincidence?
Or was this red-haired girl really the Phoenix?
"It's no trouble," Jean answered.
Hearing this, Issou did not refuse again. She smiled at Jean and said, "Well, thank you."
#
Issou felt that Jean Grey was beautiful, and it was also true that she looked a little cold. However, she did not expect that after spending some time with her, she only "looked" a little cold.
This was because when the two were alone, Jean took the initiative to start a conversation. She asked, "Are you used to living here?"
"Not bad, Mrs. Gray and the others have helped me a lot." Issou had a good impression of Gray and her husband, who were the first to show her kindness, so she smiled and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to adapt so quickly."
"They like you very much," Jean said. "When they came to pick me up today, they kept talking about you. I heard that you're planning to open a Chinese restaurant, right?"
"Yes," Issou nodded and then said with certainty, "Mr. Gray must have told you about it, right?"
"Yep, I can't help it. After all, my dad is now completely captivated by your food."
The seemingly cold Jean was, in fact, not as unapproachable as she looked. The helpless expression on her face made her look a little more playful for her age. "On the way back, my mother told me that 'a Chinese girl has just moved into our neighborhood', and my dad said that 'the Chinese snacks she makes are delicious'..."
Jean repeated a few words to Issou. In general, Mrs. Gray's main point was that Issou, who had just moved in, was good-looking and polite. She was a super cute girl, while Mr. Gray's main point was that Issou's food was delicious.
Hearing this, Issou laughed and said, "After hearing what you said, I finally understand how satisfied Mr. Gray is with my cooking."
Although Issou was curious about whether Jean was the Phoenix Girl, it was not a particularly important matter, so she put it to the back of her mind after the initial surprise. The two chatted and laughed along the way, and soon, they arrived at her home.
"By the way," Issou asked Jean when he opened the door, "Jean, are you in a hurry?"
