"So what is your occupation?"
"……Profession?"
"Is that what you are doing now... student? Apprentice? Or something else?"
"Become an apprentice."
Thinking about the funeral etiquette teaching that her lady had interspersed with language teaching these days, the girl shook her head.
"But if I were to choose..."
"Ok?"
“I’d rather have a different career.”
She raised her head and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"A career where I can travel and move around... I want to see more before I die of old age."
She respected Mrs. Glee very much.
But some things are human nature. If she were to stay in a house all the time like the lady is doing now, she would find it too boring.
Besides, my wife didn’t do this when she was young.
Shadow Lion...should also be running around carrying out missions?
Hitzfeld didn't know that when she showed this expression and said these words, Xia Yibing stared at her for a full 10 seconds.
"Guess what I do."
she said suddenly.
"What……?"
"Didn't you say that you like a career that allows you to travel around? From your personality analysis, I think you don't like being bound by rules. You can either be a postman or a detective... Either way, you have to learn how to judge people."
"Try it, just like I guessed you were in trouble before, watch me and guess what I do."
This is indeed a good opportunity.
Hitzfeld became a little excited.
“You should have a good job…”
She stared at the woman's impeccably tailored dress jacket.
“But it still requires running around…”
Looking at the pair of high-heeled leather boots under the table, I noticed a lot of dried mud on the bottom.
"Plus you have keen observation skills..."
"Detective? Or police?"
She asked tentatively, her upper body unconsciously leaning forward slightly.
"You guessed wrong."
For some unknown reason, Xia Yibing reached out and scratched her nose.
"0vφ?" Hitzfeld was stunned for a moment.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xia Yibing looked at the confused girl and burst into laughter.
The carriage was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.
Chapter 28: Empty House
[If you exclude her bad habit of occasionally playing pranks and teasing people, Miss Xia is really a good person...]
Holding a small notebook and writing comments on the side of a simple pen sketch portrait, Hitzfeld covered his mouth and yawned hugely.
She is so sleepy.
Very contradictory... She couldn't sleep, but she could feel sleepy. This intertwined and contradictory feeling was torture when she didn't do anything.
So she always tried to be active, studying when she could, and writing and drawing in a small notebook when she had nothing to do.
"I'm going to sleep first."
A seductive voice came from the bed opposite.
Moving the notebook slightly downwards, a blue eye was revealed, and Hitzfeld just happened to see Xia Yibing pinching the hem of her clothes with both hands and taking it off.
At this moment, some indescribable scenes were all visible.
"0///φ"
She immediately covered her eyes with a notebook.
Then he couldn't resist his curiosity anymore, so he took down the notebook again, leaving only his one eye exposed, and peeked cautiously.
Xia Yibing had already covered herself with the quilt and lay down.
“……” I was extremely disappointed, full of regret, and felt bored. Then I began to doubt whether there was something wrong with my mind.
What are you thinking about all day long, Hitzfeld...
She gave herself a light punch on the head.
Really...Isn't it just that I can't sleep and am bored, so I have to think about such evil things?
Xia Yibing fell asleep quickly, and the girl could hear her steady breathing.
She felt that this woman was a little too careless.
Even though, ah, even though she knew she was a "good person", it was not ruled out that there were young girls who liked to cheat.
He fell asleep in front of her without any precautions. Was it because he trusted her or because he thought that it was impossible for someone like her to do anything bad?
Should I look through her pockets and see her work ID or something like that...
After all, she never told me what her occupation was, and she was very curious.
There seemed to be a voice in his heart that was provoking him, but Hitzfeld hesitated for a long time and decided not to do it.
She continued to pick up the notebook and started writing.
When she regained consciousness, she was embarrassed and helpless to find that she had drawn a total of sixteen pages, and each page was a picture of a fit female body from various angles.
……
The next day, the sun rose.
The train arrived at the platform in a white fog. Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing got off the train together, walked to the outside of the station together, looked at each other and prepared to say goodbye.
“It’s starting to snow…”
Hitzfeld's attention was first drawn to the snowflakes.
The huge flakes of snow, even more exaggerated than the heavy snow, fell densely on the street scene, and for a moment she seemed to think this was still her hometown.
Her hometown should also like snow...
This was her imagination and speculation, based on another name she once had.
"It looks like this is your first time in Port Wayne."
Xia Yibing naturally reached out her hand to help her brush off the snow on her head, snatched the hat from her hand and put it on her.
"If you need to go to places like Denton, you better have a decent perfume."
"If you need to go to places like the Industrial Park or Mercenary Street... I actually strongly advise you not to go there... You'd better buy a small circle like a headband, the kind with lace, to cover what's on your neck."
"I'm going to the Denton area!" Hitzfeld was excited. She almost forgot that she wanted to ask someone for directions!
Is there anyone more suitable than Miss Xia?
"Denton District..." Xia Yibing narrowed her eyes.
"That's the center of Wayne... Beyond Denton is the aristocratic district. I didn't expect your friend to live in that kind of place."
"Iris Avenue, Denton." Hitzfeld recited the address on the letter.
"Miss Xia...can you tell me how to get there?"
She was careful not to report the house number 221.
Xia Yibing might have her reasons for being so careless, but as for her... she still didn't dare to trust this woman whom she had just met for less than a day.
"Go along this Xichuan Road. There is a river. Turn left after crossing the bridge and find the stop for 'Adeleke Supermarket Chain'. Take bus No. 3 there. Get off at 'Wild Duck Mama Barbecue Restaurant' after 17 stops and transfer to bus No. 19..."
Xia Yibing began to give a detailed introduction.
"...σ(°дφ;)"
Hitzfeld was sweating all over when he heard this.
"Is there...is there a simpler and more convenient method..."
She asked with a wry smile.
"Then just take a taxi there."
Xia Yibing pointed across the street.
There were many four-wheeled vehicles lined up on the roadside, and the sidewalks next to them were full of passengers queuing. The next car drove up only after the previous one left, and the cycle continued.
"It's about 28 stops. It costs 14 yuan to rent a car for one person. If you find someone to share the car with, you can get half the price if you are good at bargaining."
In the end, Hitzfeld wrote down the complicated method that Xia Yibing mentioned in a notebook and decided to figure it out on his own.
14 Goli is too expensive. Although she has nearly 400 Goli on her, she can't afford to spend so much every time she takes this route.
It would also be good for her to write it down, walk it again, and become familiar with the route.
"Goodbye then, Miss Xia!"
She grinned and bowed to Xia Yibing.
"Nice to meet you. I can treat you to something delicious next time we meet!"
"..."
The girl crossed the road with a hurried but cheerful pace. Xia Yibing stood there and watched her go away, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up again.
"It's so rare... that 'The Sword Ghost of Summer Night' can have such a gentle moment."
Xia Yibing's smile suddenly disappeared.
Glancing sideways, I saw an old man who looked like a beggar appear next to me.
"You applied to return to Wayne and they approved it."
The old man talked to himself while smoking his pipe.
"But the time has been cut in half, which means you have to get back to the end before the next eternal night falls.
"Why?"
She frowned, then raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Could it be..."
"Your premonition has come true."
The old man chuckled.
"Babis is dead."
"We have confirmed that they are in the right place at the right time!"
"That is, just ignore the 'Nightmare Man'. They must have a bigger follow-up plan."
"so……"
Xia Yibing lowered her head and thought without saying a word.
"Did you just show the way to that little girl?"
The old man suddenly changed the subject.
"Every time the organization changes a new contact point, you have to go through a lot of trouble and spend three times more time than others to find it. If you show her the way, aren't you afraid that she will stay out all night?"
