Food saves the world.
Even though Issou had just moved to New York,
With the help of her landlord, Stan Lee, she had roughly figured out the situation in the neighborhood,
And the place she was going to today,
Was a raw materials market where she could buy authentic Chinese ingredients.
Although the raw materials 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.
But when she passed by a neighbor's house,
Yi Su subconsciously raised his head to take a look.
She saw that the neighbor's doors and windows were tightly shut,
It was obvious..
That no one was home.
But in this..,
She was not surprised,
Because when she signed the lease..,
Old Stan mentioned to her that..,
Her neighbor, Mr. Lecter, was not only an excellent psychiatrist,
But occasionally, he would also give lectures at some universities as a professor.
And this week, he happened to have a lecture, so if Issou wanted to visit Mr. Lecter,
She would have to wait for him to come back first.
With this in mind, Issou retracted her gaze and quickened her 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.
To put it simply, the New York subway was not only old, but also crowded.
But for Issou, who had experienced the morning rush hour of China's Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou subway,
The crowded was not the problem, the problem was..
The New York subway had no security gates.
Issou: "..."
Did no one feel particularly insecure!?
She subconsciously turned her head to look at the passengers who were waiting for the subway like her,
But found that all the New Yorkers were very calm.
The New Yorkers: "..."
Of course.
After all, they were people who had experienced the Great War of New York.
Issou: "...???"
Issou was about to look away,
When she inadvertently glanced at the magazine in the hand 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, but his beautiful blue eyes were too charming, and the unruly and frivolous smile on his lips also added a bit of charm to him.
But what attracted Issou more was a word on the cover —
Batman。
Batman?
Issou was stunned. Was that man an actor? Is Batman really going to make a live-action movie? Could it be some fake material again?
Issou, who realized that every time they said they were going to shoot a live-action movie, they ended up shooting an animation instead. "…"
DC and Marvel always did this to their fans, but not a single one of them had been beaten to death. They were really lucky.
"Be careful."
Issou, who was in a daze, did not notice that the train had arrived at the station. As a result, she was pushed by the people behind her. 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 had a sea of stars hidden 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 came back to her senses. The smile on her face was bright and beautiful. "Thank you so much for just now."
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?"
As the man spoke, he withdrew his hand and then walked into the train with Issou. However, after he finished speaking, he felt that what he just said seemed to be a little ambiguous, so he added, "Emmm, I meant to help."
"Haha." When Issou heard the other party's words, she could not help but laugh out loud. She said, "In fact, I don't think you need to add that last sentence at all. Although there are a lot of cultured scum nowadays, you don't look like that kind of person."
After saying that, Issou felt that something was amiss, so she changed her words. "Emmm, what I meant was, you're really good-looking, you don't look like a bad person at all."
Issou's words made the man – Charles Xavier – laugh out loud. Although it was a little rude, as the most powerful telepath on Earth, he was certain that the black-haired girl had used his ability on him.
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 lowered corners of his eyes made him look particularly sincere and kind. He said, "You're really Sweethearts."
Is he sexually harassing me or flirting with me?
Issou silently looked at the other party's appearance.
Yes.
Flirting with me.
"Hearing" Issou's honest words, Charles could barely hide his smile.
To be honest, although it was confirmed that Issou was not the mutated human they were looking for, Charles was not disappointed at all. After all, she was 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 mutated human we're looking for?"
Charles shook his head. "No."
Everyone else: "…???"
If she's not, why is Professor smiling so happily?

Issou, who had 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 got 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 seasonings 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, Issou put the crab roe, crab meat, chicken soup, crab oil, and seasonings into the frozen pork skin and stirred them evenly.
After that, he took out the dough that was kneaded with high gluten flour, rolled it into a round ball and began to make the soup dumplings.
Issou spread out the rolled round ball in his hand and took out the right amount of filling. When he finished, his slender fingers moved, and in the blink of an eye, the crab roe soup dumplings came into view.
Each crab roe soup dumpling had exactly 33 folds, and each fold was like a chrysanthemum petal. When they were 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 aroma that wafted in the kitchen with the steam, the black-haired girl felt 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 his heart almost stopped beating. "…!!!!?"
The big guy's eyes fell on Izu, and he growled at her, "Hulk wants to eat!"
Issou, whose mind had already gone blank, gasped when he heard this.

'Eat, eat, eat, eat me!!'
"Marcus."
"Alright, you can ignore the comment of a straight man." Issou said with a smile, "After all, choker is no different from a dog collar in their eyes."
Hearing Issou's example, Lorna couldn't help but laugh. "So you believe in my taste?"
"I think it's pretty cool." Hearing Issou's words, Lorna gave him a meaningful smile and said, "In fact, it's cooler to use them."
After all, she wore steel-toed boots and metal bracelets so that she could fly.
Issou: "…???"
He felt that there was a strange meaning behind her words when she said that it was "useful".
Seeing Issou's confused look, Lorna had no intention of explaining. Instead, she changed the topic. "Have you made a list of what you want to buy?"
