Food saved the world.
"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.
"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. She was not in a hurry to get up.
Instead, she sat down next to her and asked,
"Where are you going 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 personality, Jean felt that it was hard for her to refuse.
"Because I heard from Mrs. Gray that your school is very strict.
Your school is very strict. " Before Issou knew Jean's identity, he could not understand. After all, no matter how strict a 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, Issou understood. After all, it was a school for mutants.
If the mutants who studied there could not control their superpowers, how could Professor X, as the principal, allow them to come out?
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.
Therefore, she was still careful to hide her identity.
When she heard him say this, 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 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.
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 walk around."

Issou and Jean hadn't seen each other for a while, so it was rare for them to be together. The two girls chatted as they strolled around, and the topic never stopped. As they talked, they suddenly talked about Charles. Issou smiled and said to Jean, "I haven't thanked you for promoting 'my Chinese restaurant' for me."
"Uh." The corners of Jean's mouth twitched when she heard Issou's words. "You're welcome. I'm just telling the truth."
"But …" Issou was a little curious. "Is your school close to ours?"
"Hmm? Why do you ask? " Jean looked at Issou, and the black-haired girl answered honestly, "Because I see Charles always coming to 'my Chinese restaurant' to eat, so I'm just a little curious."
Although Issou knew about Academy X, he only knew that it was in New York. He didn't know its exact location.
Jean, "…"
No wonder she was wondering why Cotter had been reporting to Charles's office on time these 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, the Chinese food you make is so delicious. If it were me, I would definitely patronize it no matter how far it is."
Hmm.
The premise was that Charles was willing to approve her leave.
When she thought of this, Jean couldn't help but sigh silently. She clearly had a good plan, but who knew that Charles wouldn't 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 become Charles who came to her door to ask for verification?
"You and Mr. Gray are indeed father and daughter." Issou couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "When they came to the Chinese restaurant, Mr. Gray said that 'if Jean can apply for leave, she will come no matter how far it is.'"
"Because it's a pity that I can't apply for leave, my father ate my share of the food. Honestly, can these two sentences form a cause-and-effect relationship?" When she heard Issou mention this, Jean finished the rest of the story. She said with a speechless expression, "After hearing what my mother said, I don't think I'm my father's biological daughter at all."
Hearing Jean's words, Issou couldn't help but chuckle. Seeing the gloomy expression on Jean's face, he could imagine how confused she must have been when she learned what her father had done 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 actually planning a terrorist attack?"
Jean instinctively grabbed Issou's hand when she heard the gunshots, but before she could pull him away, she heard what Jean said. She didn't 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 rainy days were good for beating children, but what the hell did she mean by good weather for a terrorist attack?!
Jean didn't know what Issou was thinking. The Mind Shield that Charles had created in her mind prevented her from using her powerful telepathy, but she could still use simple telepathy.
After Jean released her ability, her mind was suddenly filled with all kinds of noises. She frowned. Although this situation was uncomfortable, it also allowed her to obtain the key information — —
This was not a terrorist attack, but they were involved in the pursuit of the Hydra by S.H.E.L.D.'s agents.
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 couldn't pretend that she didn't know that the Hydra intended to use innocent civilians as a shield and stay out of it.
There was no need to think about it.
Your friend, Considerate Su, is online.
Although Issou didn't 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 tight 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 heart, she thought — —
This was a good way to separate from Issou without arousing suspicion.
Issou was speechless.
Of course.
She wasn't Pietro.
Pietro, "…???"
With just one look, Lorna's attention was completely drawn to it.
The lamb chops that had just been taken out of the oven were still warm, as if the high temperature hadn't dissipated yet, causing the crispy surface of the lamb chops to crackle continuously. The lamb fat wrapped in the sauce slowly slid down, dripping onto the roasting pan and making a tempting sizzling sound.
Lorna was speechless.
Be reasonable.
She suspected that in order to eat Issou's food, she was willing to give her life to him.
"Are you hungry?" Issou looked up at Lorna at the kitchen door and said, "It's almost ready."
"Do you need help?" Lorna's gaze moved away from the lamb chop and fell on Issou's hand. Looking at her slender wrist holding such a heavy tray, she felt like her wrist would be crushed by gravity in the next second.
Seeing Issou looking at her, Lorna said, "You know, I'm a mutant."
As soon as she said that, a ball of green energy floated in her hand. The next second, Issou felt his hand lighten, and the tray containing the lamb chop was lifted by an invisible force. It floated in the air and landed firmly on the dining table outside.
"Wow." Issou took off his thermal gloves and asked with a smile, "So Lorna, you can control several trays at the same time?"
"Several trays?" Lorna glanced at Issou and asked word by word, "Are you kidding me?"
She controlled the energy to open the cupboard and let two sets of knives and forks float to the dining table. She continued, "Issou, do you have some misunderstanding about my superpower?"
Seeing Lorna's expression, Issou could not help but laugh, "Okay, I just think that if the waitress I hired had your superpower, we would be able to serve the food much faster."
"Serve the food?!" Issou's words made Lorna speechless. She looked at Issou and said, "After you saw my superpower, the first thing you thought of was to use my superpower to serve the food?!"
Issou put his hands on Lorna's back and pushed her out of the kitchen as he said, "It can't be helped, I'm the one who wants to open a Chinese restaurant."
