Food saved the world.
Jean saw the mischievous smile on Issou's face and immediately guessed it.
He immediately guessed, "Alright, Izu, 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.
He looked at Jean with a smile. "I'm fishing for those who are willing to take the bait."
"Although I don't understand what you mean, I roughly understand what you're trying to say." Jean smiled helplessly at Issou.
Instead of getting up, he sat down beside 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.
Even Qin felt that it was hard for her to refuse.
"Because I heard from Mrs. Gray that your school is very strict." Issou did not understand before he knew Jean's identity.
After all, no matter how strict the school was, it would not deprive students of their vacation time.
At most, it would be strict during the school period.
But after knowing Jean's identity,
Issou understood. After all, it was a school for mutants.
If the mutant students who enroll there are unable to control their powers,
Professor X, as the principal, would not allow them to come out and have fun.
This was not only for the safety of ordinary people.
It was also for the freedom and safety of the mutants themselves.
"It's okay." Jean still did not know that Issou already knew that she was the Phoenix, so she was still carefully hiding her identity. When she heard 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 have fun in the future, you can come find me."
The reason why Jean could not go home often was that although she could control her superpowers when she was awake, she often had nightmares at night. At that time, her superpowers would go out of control.
Therefore, under such circumstances, Charles felt that it was best for Jean to stay in Academy X.
But now, not only could Jean control her superpowers when she was awake, but she also did not have nightmares at night. Therefore, if she wanted to take leave now, the approval rate was very high.
And Jean firmly believed that all this was caused by Issou.
"Okay." Yi Su responded with a smile, then got up and pulled Qin up as well. "Let's go. Let's take a stroll."

Yi Su and Jean hadn't seen each other for a while. It was rare for them to get together, so the two girls chatted as they strolled around. The topic never stopped. As they talked, they suddenly talked about Charles. She smiled and said to Jean, "I haven't thanked you for helping me promote 'my Chinese restaurant'."
"Uh." When she heard Issou's words, the corner of Jean's mouth could not help but twitch. 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. The black-haired girl answered 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. He did not know its exact location.
Jean was speechless.
No wonder she was wondering why Cotter had been reporting to Charles's office on time these 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 it no matter how far it is."
Yes.
The premise was that Charles was willing to approve her leave of absence.
When she thought of this, Jean could not help but sigh silently. She had clearly planned this out well, but who would have thought that Charles would not follow her script at all?
Until now, Jean still felt that something was wrong. She was the one who came up with an excuse to apply for leave of absence. 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 of absence, she would come no matter how far away she was."
"Because it was a pity that I couldn't apply for leave to visit, my father ate my share as well. To be honest, can these two sentences form a cause-and-effect relationship?" When she heard Issou mention this matter, Jean finished the rest of the story. She said with a speechless look, "After hearing what my mother said, I don't think I'm my father's biological daughter at all."
When he heard Jean's words, Issou could not help but burst out laughing. Looking at the gloomy expression on her face, he could totally imagine how confused she was when she learned what her father did from Mrs. Gray.
After a while, when the sound of 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 under the sun, they're actually planning a terrorist attack?"
When Jean heard the gunshots, she subconsciously grabbed Issou's hand. 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 think that the weather is good today, so it's more suitable for a terrorist attack?"
Issou was speechless.
He knew that a rainy day was suitable for beating up children, but what the hell was a good day 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.
After Jean released her ability, her mind was instantly filled with all kinds of 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 S.H.E.L.D. agents were hunting down Hydra, and it 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 Hydra intended to use innocent civilians as a shield.
There was no need to think about it.
Your friend, 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. She said yes, but in her mind, she was thinking — —
This was really a good way to separate from Issou without arousing suspicion.
Issou: "…"
Of course.
She was not Pietro.
Pietro: "…???"
Issou was still in a daze. Even though she was sure that Hulk was not going to eat her, but only the crab roe soup dumplings, she still could not drive away the tension that lingered in her heart.
Because — —
Hulk had been staring at her with drooling eyes … The crab roe soup dumplings in her hand, and he anxiously urged her, "Hulk is hungry!"
"Hulk wants to eat!"
Issou: "…"
Boss.
Are you acting coquettishly?
Hulk, who was as big as a hill in front of her, could easily stab her to death with a finger. Although he was drooling over the crab roe soup dumplings in her hand, he did not use violence. Instead, he chose to act cute and beg for food. Issou: "…"
What could she do?
She actually felt that Hulk was a little cute like this.
It was also despair.

Today was a lucky day for the Avengers — —
Because they could go out and have fun without having to save the world.
However, today was also an unfortunate day for the Avengers — —
Because something unexpected happened.
[What's going on? Why did Bruce inexplicably transform?]
Except for Captain America, who stayed in the training room of the Avengers Mansion to kill time, the other Avengers who went out to have fun rushed back after hearing the news.
In the public channel, Falcon asked curiously, [Where's Natasha? I thought they were together today?]
[I'm with Clint.] Black Widow said, [Bruce went to S.H.E.L.D. for something. We agreed to have lunch together after he was done.]
Unfortunately, Black Widow did not wait for Dr. Banner. Instead, she waited for the news that Dr. Banner had transformed into Hulk.
So the two agents who were buying baby supplies for the unborn child in Hawkeye's wife's belly rushed back without saying a word.
[The most important thing now is to find Hulk first. I have tracked his location according to Hulk's route of action.]
