Food saved the world.
Perhaps it was to make it easier for the citizens to travel.
Therefore, the weather on the weekend was beautiful and sunny.
There were no clouds in the sky.
When Jean arrived at the place where she was supposed to meet Issou,
She saw a black-haired girl wearing sunglasses sitting lazily on a bench, basking in the warm sun as she waited for someone.
Jean walked up with a smile and was about to take off Issou's sunglasses when her wrist was grabbed by a small, fair hand.
As soon as the other party exerted force, Jean's entire body was pulled to sit beside her.
When Jean saw the mischievous smile on Izu's face, she immediately guessed what was going on. "Alright.
Issou, you did it on purpose. "
"No, no, no." Issou's sunglasses slid down the bridge of his nose.
Her pair of big, watery eyes were revealed.
She looked at Jean with a smile.
"This is called Jiang Taigong fishing.
Those who are willing to take the bait. "
"Although I don't understand what you mean, I have a general idea of what you're trying to say." Jean smiled helplessly at Issou.
Instead of getting up, she sat next to her and asked,
"Where do you plan to go today?"
"Let's walk around." Perhaps it was because of the sun, Issou was lazy. He leaned his head on Jean's shoulder intimately.
"I thought I wouldn't be able to ask you out today."
"Why do you say that?" Jean did not resist being close to Issou, whether it was because of the food she made.
Or because of her.
Jean felt that it was hard for her to refuse.
"Because I heard from Mrs. Gray that,
Your school is very strict. " Before Issou knew Jean's identity, he could not understand. After all, no matter how strict the school was, it would not deprive students of their vacation time. At most, they would be strict during the school day.
But after knowing Jean's identity, Izzo understood. After all, it was a mutant school. If the mutant students studying there could not control their superpowers, how could Professor X, as the principal, allow them to come out and have fun?
This was not only for the safety of ordinary people, but also for the freedom and safety of the mutants themselves.
"It's alright." Jean still did not know that Issou already knew that she was the Phoenix Girl, so she was still carefully hiding her identity. Hearing what he said, she did not refute and changed the topic. "It's more convenient for me to take leave now, so Issou, if you want to come out and play in the future, you can come find me."
The reason why Jean couldn't go home often was that although she could control her superpower when she was awake, she would often have nightmares at night. At that time, her superpower would go out of control.
Under such circumstances, Charles felt that it was best for Jean to stay in Academy X.
But now, not only was Jean able to control her superpower when she was awake, but she also no longer had nightmares at night. Therefore, if she wanted to apply for leave now, the approval rate was very high.
Jean firmly believed that all of this was caused by Issou.
"Sure." Issou responded with a smile, then got up and pulled Jean up as well. "Let's go. Let's take a walk."

Issou and Jean had not seen each other for a while, and it was rare for them to be together. The two girls chatted as they walked, and the topic did not stop. As they talked, they suddenly talked about Charles. She smiled and said to Jean, "I haven't thanked you for promoting 'My Chinese Restaurant' for me."
"Uh." Hearing Issou's words, the corner of Jean's mouth twitched, and then she said, "You're welcome, I'm just telling the truth."
"But …" Issou was a little curious. "Is your school close to where we live?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask? " Jean looked at Issou, and the black-haired girl said honestly, "Because I see Charles always coming to 'My Chinese Restaurant' to eat, so I'm a little curious."
Although Issou knew about Academy X, he only knew that it was in New York and did not know its specific location.
Jean was speechless.
No wonder she was wondering why Cotter had been reporting to Charles's office on time for the past few days.
Seeing that Issou was still looking at her, Jean came back to her senses and said, "Emmm, it's not too far away, but Issou, your Chinese food is so delicious. If it were me, I would definitely patronize your restaurant no matter how far it is."
Hmm.
The premise was that Charles was willing to approve her leave.
When she thought of this, Jean could not help but sigh silently. She clearly had a good plan, but who knew that Charles would not follow her script at all.
Until now, Jean still felt that something was wrong. She was the one who found an excuse to apply for leave, so how did it end up with Charles coming to her door to ask for verification?
"You and Mr. Gray are indeed father and daughter." When Issou heard this, he could not help but laugh. "When they came to the Chinese restaurant, Mr. Gray said that if Jean could apply for leave, she would come no matter how far away she was."
"Because it was a pity that I couldn't apply for leave to patronize, my dad ate my share as well. To be honest, can these two sentences form a cause-and-effect relationship?" When Issou mentioned this matter, Jean finished the follow-up. She said with a speechless expression, "After listening to my mom, I don't think I'm my dad's biological daughter at all."
When Issou heard Jean's words, he could not help but laugh. Looking at the gloomy expression on her face, he could imagine how confused she must have been when she learned about her father's actions from Mrs. Gray.
After a while, when intense gunshots rang out in the mall one after another, it was Issou's turn to be confused. "The weather is so good today, but instead of shopping and basking in the sun, they're planning a terrorist attack?"
When Jean heard the gunshots, she instinctively grabbed Issou's hand, but before she could pull him away, she heard what he said. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Uh, they probably thought that today's weather was good, so it's more suitable for a terrorist attack?"
Issou was speechless.
He knew that a rainy day was suitable for beating children, but what the hell was a good weather for a terrorist attack?!
Jean did not know what Issou was thinking. The Mind Shield that Charles created in her mind prevented her from using her powerful telepathic abilities, but she could still use simple telepathic control abilities.
After releasing her ability, Jean's mind was instantly filled with all kinds of chaotic noises. She frowned. Although this situation was uncomfortable, it also allowed her to obtain a crucial piece of information —
This was not a terrorist attack, but the pursuit of the Hydra by S.H.E.L.D. agents ended up affecting them.
Jean said, "Issou, let's go, it's not safe here."
She retracted her ability, put her hands on Issou's shoulders, and pushed him out. In her mind, she was thinking of an excuse to separate from Issou later. After all, she could not pretend that she did not know that the Hydra intended to use innocent civilians as a shield.
There was no need to think about it.
Your friend, the considerate Su, is online.
Although Issou did not have telepathy, he could still tell what Jean was thinking. So when he walked out, he pretended to say casually, "Jean, be careful. Remember to hold on to me, otherwise we'll be easily separated."
When she heard Issou's words, Jean's eyes lit up. Although she said yes, she was thinking — —
This was really a good way to separate from Issou without arousing suspicion.
Issou was speechless.
Of course.
She was not Pietro.
Pietro: "…???"
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 went out, she went straight to the subway station.
However, when he 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 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 his gaze and quickened his pace toward 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.
However, for Issou, who had experienced the morning rush hour of China's Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou subway, the congestion was not a problem. The problem was — —
The New York subway did not have a security gate.
Issou: "…"
Did no one feel particularly insecure?!
She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at the passengers waiting for the subway. She found that all the New Yorkers were very calm.
New Yorkers: "…"
Of course.
After all, they were people who experienced the war in New York.
Issou: "…???"
Issou was about to withdraw his gaze when he inadvertently glanced at the magazine in the hands of a passenger. The cover was a young man in a suit.
