Food saved the world.
Issou opened the door.
He saw the black-haired girl standing at the door.
His face was filled with genuine surprise. "Why are you here?"
Issou hadn't been in New York for long.
This meant that she didn't know many people here.
And the reason why she was surprised to see Lorna Dain in front of her was because
Although they knew each other, this was only the second time they had met.
"Are you okay?" Lorna looked at Issou in front of her.
He sized her up. "I just passed by here and heard that Hulk appeared here."
"I'm fine.
It's just … "After knowing the purpose of Lorna's visit, Issou couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.
However, being able to feel such concern in a foreign country made her feel warm in her heart.
"I didn't expect you to make a special trip here for this reason."
Hearing this, Lorna shrugged. "Just take it as a gift for the gift you gave me last time?"
In fact, Lorna and Issou weren't familiar with each other.
But at least they knew each other, and she happened to be here.
So after hearing the news, she decided to make a trip here.
"That's a thank you gift, not a gift." Issou smiled and corrected Lorna.
"But no matter what the reason is,
I'm very grateful for your special visit. "
"No need." Lorna obviously didn't take it to heart.
"Since you're okay,
Then I'll be leaving first. "
"Wait,
You're leaving just like that? " Seeing Lorna look over, Issou made an inviting gesture. "I think if you're not in a hurry, you can come in and sit down?"
She wasn't in a hurry, and there was no need for her to go in and sit down.
Lorna thought so, and then … well, she sat on the sofa in Issou's living room.
Lorna: "…"
She would never admit that she couldn't resist Issou's smile.
Looking at Issou's unguarded expression, Lorna said, "Aren't you afraid that something will happen when you bring him in so casually?"
"I thought we were friends?"
Hearing Issou's question, Lorna was speechless.
"A friend you've met twice?"
"The key is friends."
Issou poured Lorna a glass of water and placed it in front of her. He winked at her and said, "As for how many times we've met, there's no need to be so calculative."
Hearing this, Lorna was simply amused by her words. She picked up the cup and after taking a sip of water, she made a helpless expression and said, "Alright, you have the final say."
When Lorna was not smiling, she looked cool, and there was a sense of arrogance and rebelliousness in her eyes. However, when she smiled, it was as if she had put away all the thorns on her body, revealing only the delicate beauty of a rose.
And from the fact that she'd made a trip here after learning that something had happened, it was clear that Lorna had a kind and exceptionally soft heart, contrary to her appearance.
"Lorna, you haven't had lunch yet, right?" Issou glanced at the time. "Why don't we eat here?"
Hearing this, Lorna glanced at Issou, who smiled at her and said, "Friends."
Okay.
Lorna admitted that she couldn't resist Issou's smile. After swallowing her words, she said, "Sorry to trouble you. Just make something simple."
"Is chicken noodle soup okay?"
"No problem."
Hearing this, Issou got up. Lorna did not stay in the living room, but followed him to the kitchen.
#
Because the chicken soup was ready in the morning, Issou directly took out the eggs, broccoli, and noodles. After washing the broccoli, he put them into a pot of boiling water. After stewing them with a lid, he scooped them up and washed them with cold water before setting them aside.
When he was about to fry the eggs, Issou casually asked Lorna who was standing at the kitchen door, "Do you have flowing yolk eggs?"
“Yep。”
Lorna came up to help, but after watching for a while, she realized that there was nothing she could do. Issou did everything smoothly, one step after another.
With this in mind, Lorna looked up at Issou who was frying the eggs. Even though she was working seriously, her eyes were filled with joy, and the relaxed atmosphere around her became very infectious.
As long as people got close to her, they would unconsciously feel relaxed.
Looking at Issou like this, Lorna could not help but think of the scene when they first met. She said, "To be honest, I still don't understand why you helped me in the supermarket that time."
The reason why Lorna and Issou met was that when Lorna went to the supermarket with her friends a few days ago, she was almost molested because she was alone.
The reason why she said she was almost molested was because before the pervert could make his move, Issou, who sensed that something was wrong, directly blocked the pervert with a cart.
Of course, no one stipulated that the person who acted bravely for a just cause must be a tall and strong man or a heroic woman. Perhaps Issou was just a steamed bun with creamy filling, but was actually a tough nut to crack?
However, when she saw Issou was so frightened after being robbed that he could not react on the spot, Lorna overturned her previous idea.
Not only did Issou look like a steamed bun with creamy filling, but when she pinched it open, it also had creamy filling.
Issou: "…"
Why did it feel like there was something wrong with this sentence?
Other people had sesame filling, which was either sweet or black.
She had creamy filling, which was either sweet or yellow!!?
Back to the topic, it was precisely because of this that Lorna was curious about Issou's courage at that time.
After all, that pervert was a tall and sturdy man who was nearly two meters tall. Not to mention other things, just his ferocious appearance was enough to scare people.
Hearing Lorna's question, Issou turned his head and glanced at her.
Lorna's facial features were well-defined, with a straight nose, sexy full lips, and big green eyes that were outlined with eyeliner revealed a bit of aggressiveness. To put it bluntly, she was as beautiful as an elf.
When Issou first saw Lorna, he was instantly captivated by her beauty. Because she was so beautiful, she was really beautiful and handsome.
So he said very honestly, "You're beautiful."
Lorna: "…"
"And it turns out that good things happen to me, right?" Issou tilted his head and looked at Lorna. "If it weren't for you guys, my things would have been robbed."
When Issou left the supermarket and was about to go home, he was robbed. At that time, he was so shocked that he froze on the spot. However, before he could react, he saw the man who robbed him and ran away, knocked down by a cart.
And the people who came to his rescue were Lorna and her two friends — —
Marcos Diaz and John Prasda.
"By the way." Issou dipped the noodles in water, soaked them in cold water, and then scooped them up and put them into the chicken soup. While he was busy, he asked, "Did you like the pastries from last time?"
After Lorna and the others helped Issou get her things back, they learned that she lived nearby and decided to send her back. After all, it was already night time at that time, and they didn't think it was a good idea to let Issou walk back alone.
So they decided to be good people until the end. After all, Issou did help Lorna before, didn't he? Although if that pervert really did make a move, Lorna alone had a way to make him deeply understand what it meant to be regretful to the core.
However, John and the others were very considerate. After all, it was the first time they met, so he and Marcos accompanied Lorna to send Issou back, and let Lorna do the rest.
In order to express his gratitude, Issou gave Lorna and the others a box of hand-made peach pastries as a thank you gift.
Because Issou didn't know that Lorna was a mutant, Issou still thought that the cart that hit the man was thrown by Marcos or John.
Seeing that Issou had misunderstood, Lorna didn't explain anything. After all, it was best not to expose her identity as a mutant.
When she received the box of peach pastries from Issou, Lorna thought that this gift should be divided among the three of them.
But after taking a bite …
What?
Divided among the three of them?
No way!
Didn't they know who saved Issou?
She wanted half!
Marcos: "…"
John: "…"
"Very good," Lorna said to Issou, "So when you said you were planning to open a shop, is it a pastry shop?"
"No, it's a Chinese restaurant." As Issou spoke, he scooped the cooked noodles into a bowl, spread the broccoli and yolk eggs on top, and poured in the chicken soup.
"It's a success." Issou walked out of the kitchen with the noodles. When he put it on the table, he was about to go back and get Lorna a set of utensils, but she had already walked out with it.
Lorna waved the fork in her hand at Issou, "I can still help with this."
"Okay, earn your own living." Issou shrugged and smiled, "Come and try it."
