Food saved the world.
But when she passed by the neighbor's house,
Yi Su subconsciously raised his head to take a look.
She saw that the neighbor's door and windows were closed.
Obviously …
No one was home.
However, she wasn't surprised by this.
Because when she signed the lease,
Old Stan mentioned to her …
Her neighbor, Mr. Lecter, was not only an excellent psychologist, but he also occasionally gave lectures at universities as a professor.
He had a lecture this week, so if Issou wanted to visit Mr. Lecter, she had to wait for him to come back.
With that thought in mind, Yi Su retracted her gaze and quickened her pace towards the subway station.

The New York subway was one of the oldest public underground railway systems in the world, and it was also one of the most important modes of transportation in the city.
Simply put, the New York subway was not only old,
But it was also crowded.
But for Issou, who had experienced the morning rush hour of China's Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou subway,
Crowded was not the problem, the problem was …
The New York subway had no security doors.
Issou: "…"
Did no one feel particularly insecure?!
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the passengers waiting for the subway.
She found that all the New Yorkers were very calm.
The New Yorkers: "…"
Of course.
After all, they had experienced the Great War of New York.
Issou: "…???"
Issou was about to look away,
When she inadvertently glanced at the magazine in the hands of a passenger.
On the cover was a young man in a suit.
She admitted that the young man on the cover was indeed very handsome.
Even if it was just a static cover,
Those beautiful blue eyes were too charming, and the unruly and frivolous smile on his lips added a bit of charm to him.
But what attracted Issou more was a word on the cover.
Batman。
Batman?
Issou paused for a moment.
Was the man just now an actor? Was Batman really going to make a live-action movie? It couldn't be some fake material, right?
Issou, who realized that every time they said they were going to shoot a live-action movie, they ended up shooting an animation instead. "…"
Both DC and Marvel comic companies had been running around like this every time, and yet, not a single one of them had been beaten to death. They were really lucky.
"Be careful."
The distracted Issou did not notice that the train had arrived at the station.
In the end, he was pushed by the people behind him and staggered.
Fortunately, someone helped her from behind.
The grateful Issou subconsciously turned his head to take a look, only to be met with a pair of deep blue eyes.
Wow.
It turned out that there really were people who hid the sea of stars in their eyes.
"Are you alright?" The owner of the blue eyes looked at the black-haired girl who was staring at him in a daze, and his slightly raised lips revealed a smile.
"Uh, it's nothing." Noticing the other party's gaze, Issou quickly regained his senses and smiled brightly. "Thank you so much for what you did just now."
Otherwise, she would definitely fail miserably.
"You're welcome, I don't think anyone would have the heart to not lend a hand to a cute girl like you, right?"
As the man spoke, he retracted his hand and walked into the subway with Yi Su. However, after he finished speaking, he felt that what he had just said seemed to be a little ambiguous, so he added, "Emmm, I meant to extend a helping hand."
"Haha." When Issou heard the other party's words, she could not help but laugh. She said, "In fact, I don't think you need to add that last sentence at all. Although there are a lot of cultured scums nowadays, you don't look like that kind of person."
After that, Issou felt that something was wrong, so she changed his words. "Emmm, what I mean is, you're really good-looking, you don't look like a bad person at all."
Issou's words made the man, Charles Xavier, laugh. Although it was a bit impolite, as the most powerful telepath on Earth, he was certain that the black-haired girl's ability was —
Issou was not lying.
"Forgive me for thinking that you only look sweet, but I didn't expect you to have such a sweet mouth."
Charles's almost transparent blue eyes looked at Issou with a smile. The slightly drooping corners of his eyes made him look particularly sincere and kind. He said, "You're really a Sweethearts."
Is he sexually harassing me or flirting with me?
Issou silently glanced at the other party's appearance —
Yeah.
Flirting with me.
"Hearing" Issou's honest words, Charles could hardly hide his smile.
To be honest, although it was confirmed that Issou was not the mutant they were looking for, Charles was not disappointed at all. After all, she was really too interesting and too cute.
When they arrived at the meeting place, the members of the X-Men saw Professor X in a good mood. "Professor, are you sure she's the mutant we're looking for?"
Charles shook his head. "No."
Everyone else: "…???"
If she's not, why are you smiling so happily?

Issou, who just waved goodbye to Charles, was also in a good mood. After she got off the subway, she went straight to the raw materials market.
The black-haired girl planned to make crab roe soup dumplings today. After she bought all the ingredients on the list, she took a taxi home. But —
She was in such a hurry that she did not notice that the TV in the raw materials market was broadcasting a news report about a consulting detective from London and Scotland Yard working together to solve a big case.
After Issou returned home, he changed his clothes and went straight into the kitchen.
Because he had already dealt with the old hen when he was at the raw materials market, Issou directly washed it with clean water and put it in a cold pot. After the blood was boiled, he washed it with hot water again and put it in the pot to simmer.
After that, Issou put the boiled pork skin, onion, ginger, fish sauce, and other spices into the pot. He added some clean water and waited until it was soft and tender.
After the steamed crabs were shelled, he took out the crab roe, crab meat, and various seasonings and set them aside. After the crab shells were dipped in oil, he stir-fried them over a small flame until the crab oil came out.
After everything was done, Yi Su placed the crab roe, crab meat, chicken soup, crab oil, and condiments into the pig skin that had already cooled into gelatinous gel and stirred them evenly.
Then he took out the dough that was kneaded with high gluten flour, rolled it into a round ball, and began to make soup dumplings.
Issou spread out the rolled round ball in his hand and took an appropriate amount of filling. When he finished, his slender fingers moved, and in the blink of an eye, a crab roe soup dumpling came into view.
Each crab roe soup dumpling had exactly 33 folds, and each fold was like a chrysanthemum petal. At this time, when they were all placed together, they looked like clusters of blooming jade chrysanthemums.
After putting the crab roe soup dumplings into the steamer and putting them into the pot of boiling water, Issou was in a good mood. He hummed a song as he cleaned up the kitchen. Smelling the fragrance wafting in the kitchen along with the steam, the black-haired girl felt all her tiredness turn into water and was completely absorbed by a sponge.
But …
When Issou took out the steamed crab roe soup dumplings from the pot, she seemed to hear some movement outside. She was a little curious, but before she could turn around to see what was going on, she saw a huge, green creature appear from the kitchen window without warning.
For a moment, Issou was so shocked that her heart almost stopped beating. "…!!!!?"
The big creature's gaze fell on Issou and it growled at her, "Hulk wants to eat!"
Issou, whose mind had gone blank, suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Eat eat eat eat eat eat me!!?
Although Issou had just moved to New York, with the help of her landlord, Stan Lee, she had a rough understanding of the neighborhood. The place she was going today was a raw material market where she could buy authentic Chinese ingredients.
Although the raw material market was a little far from where she lived, fortunately, there was a direct subway line, so as soon as she left the house, she went straight to the subway station.
However, when she passed by the neighbor's house, Issou subconsciously looked up and saw that the door and windows of the neighbor's house were closed. Obviously …
No one was at home.
However, she was not surprised because when she signed the lease, Old Stan mentioned it to her.
Her neighbor, Mr. Lecter, was not only an excellent psychiatrist, but he also occasionally gave lectures at universities as a professor.
He happened to have a lecture this week, so if Issou wanted to visit Mr. Lecter, she would have to wait for him to come back.
With this in mind, Issou withdrew her gaze and quickened her pace toward the subway station.

The grateful Issou subconsciously turned her head and looked into a pair of deep blue eyes.
Wow.
So there really was a sea of stars hidden in someone's eyes.
"Are you okay?" The owner of the blue eyes looked at the black-haired girl who was looking at her in a daze and smiled slightly.
"Uh, I'm fine." Noticing the other party's gaze, Issou quickly came back to her senses and smiled brightly. "Thank you so much."
Otherwise, she would have been a fool.
"You're welcome, I don't think anyone would have the heart to not help a cute girl like you, right?"
