"I have about 13 Sera on hand now..."
"Why so many?"
Xia Yibing was interrupted by the woman before she could finish her sentence. She was really scared.
Her own savings are not even a fraction of the girl’s!
Isn't she a private investigator?
How can you be so rich?
"It was almost 2 to 3 originally..." Hitzfeld said, "In fact, it was more than 7 at the beginning. The cult gave me 5 for the Crystal Sea, and later I spent a lot on research and buying materials, leaving me with more than 2. Then, when I entered the palace last time, Alwin gave me another 10..."
"10?"
Interrupted again.
"Yes."
"Is it 10 Sera, not 10 Goli?"
"Yes."
"..."
Xia Yibing was silent.
She remembered what was written in the book: When two people in love go out to have fun, it is best for the one who has the stronger intention in some aspect to pay.
Thinking about it again, this is what she has been doing these days, and suddenly I feel that this behavior is quite presumptuous.
Hitzfeld was still adding fuel to the fire: "Well, Alvin said that she couldn't give me an open reward because she had to keep my identity as the mysterious master secret. This was also for my own good, to protect me..."
"But she can give me some bonus privately. She thinks 10 Sera is too little. She said if this matter came out in January, she could at least give me 1 Sera..."
She didn't notice that Xia Yibing's face was getting darker and darker, and she was still sighing: "Actually, I think she was lying to me."
"What 30 Sera... On the way back, I heard Teni say that she was very stingy. Even if she really had money, I guess she would have to wait until she came back from Aisha."
Then she saw Xia Yibing turn around and go to the kitchen.
What is she doing?
Hitzfeld was puzzled.
After a while, Xia Yibing came back with a cup of milky liquid in her hand.
The power it exudes is so strong that it is enough to shock the mysterious lord.
"I don't drink milk." Hitzfeld immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
She still wanted to resist.
"I actually forgot to ask you to drink milk these past two days."
Xia Yibing climbed onto the bed with the cup in her hand and sat on the girl through the quilt.
"I bought it after all... and it helps you grow, so how can you not drink it?"
"I just won't drink--!"
"You have to drink even if you don't want to."
After a fight, Xia Yibing left the empty cup and went to buy a ticket.
Hitzfeld was left lying on the bed, feeling as if his body and soul were polluted.
Chapter 12 Daily Life 4
Some people are born with a natural aversion to and difficulty adapting to the taste of milk, and can always vaguely smell a bad odor in it. Hitzfeld is probably one of them.
The feeling of this liquid sliding through the esophagus and into the stomach was so disgusting that she took a break and quickly got up to drink water to rinse her mouth. She also dissolved honey in hot water and took a few sips to clean her throat.
After doing all this, she felt her bare thighs were a little cold.
After looking at the door and confirming that Xia Yibing would probably not be back for a short time, she ran to the closet and, while warming her hands with some honey water, she searched for clothes to wear outside.
In fact, she didn't care about this at first. Whether it was Leng Qing who came from Earth or Hitzfeld who learned etiquette under the guidance of the lady, they all had low requirements for external dressing.
Just be clean, tidy, and presentable. No need to be fancy.
But now things are different after all. She has someone she cares about again, and the other person also cares about her... She is willing to spend more energy to create some new outfits from the limited clothing options, just so that Xia Yibing can look at her a few more times when they are strolling on the street.
Well, as long as it wasn't the kind of exhausting work, she actually didn't mind that kind of look.
The first things Hitzfeld picked out were a few black skirts. They were all long, at least covering the calves, but without extra gussets, and their texture and weight were similar to summer skirts.
After picking it up with one hand and unfolding it several times, Hitzfeld was still not satisfied.
It’s not that the material or style is bad. In fact, she is still confident in this body. Even if she wears the skirt left by her lady, it doesn’t make her look old.
But it has always been like this, she is actually a little tired of it, aesthetic fatigue, and a little resistant to the past compromise.
Just then she suddenly remembered that a long time ago... probably when the two of them had just confirmed their relationship, Xia Yibing moved to this house for the first time and she brought a bag of clothes with her.
She said it wasn't some expensive gift, and it wasn't any brand name, she just picked it up randomly in a clothing store... Hitzfeld knew she was lying as soon as he saw her eyes. He picked up a few pieces at random and looked at them, but found that they were either too trendy or the skirts were too short, so he stuffed them all back into her clothes.
I haven't finished reading it yet... maybe there will be something suitable in it?
Turning around and putting the cup on the table, Hitzfeld opened the bottom drawer according to his memory and found a bulging black cloth bag from the corner.
This is it. I picked it up and weighed it. It’s a bit heavy.
She reached out and found a pair of black panties. She quickly stuffed the thing back, blushing, but still imagining the bold style in her mind.
Xia has indeed learned bad things a long time ago...
She secretly complained.
I don't know where she got this nonsense knowledge from. I haven't seen it at home...
Just as I was thinking this, the hand that reached in suddenly touched a hard corner.
The girl was startled, and turned around to pour everything in the bag onto the bed. Suddenly, a lot of things fell down, and among them were several books wrapped in brown paper.
She pulled out a book and glanced at the cover: "Eighty-five Days to Win a Heart".
"..."
Pick out another book: "The Art of Sweet Talk - Those who can control their emotions are the winners."
Later on, there were even more absurd books such as "Don't Hesitate, Be a Giant in Action", "Shamelessness is the Basis of All Emotions", "From Jewelry to Clothes: A Complete Story Analysis", etc. Hitzfeld's face turned black and his thin eyebrows kept twitching after reading them.
What could she say?
She picked up the book "Eighty-Five Days to Win a Heart" again, opened it, looked at the title page, and confirmed that the author was named Calvin Stottes.
If she remembered correctly, this bastard was a well-known master of life. She heard last year that he had earned a place in a certain prison by publishing "bad moral novels". The most amazing thing was that he had never married until he was thrown into prison.
He himself is a single guy, but he has the nerve to make up these things to cheat people out of their money.
How could Xia be so crazy? Doesn't she know more about this than I do?
With a curious mentality, Hitzfeld didn't bother to look through the clothes. She first roughly flipped through the tattered book, but the more she flipped through it, the uglier her expression became.
Her job is a detective.
So from many details...those clues, she can see much more than normal people.
The condition of this book is not very good. Traces of oil can be seen on the corners of the pages at the beginning, which seems to indicate that Xia Yibing attached great importance to it at the beginning and was reluctant to put it down even to eat.
There are also oil stains on some of the later pages, but judging from the depth of the stains, the time span is much longer.
She guessed that the woman originally valued the book very much, but along the way she heard about Stothais's style, so she temporarily abandoned it. The many creases and scratches on the book were caused during that period.
So why did she still keep the book?
Shouldn't it be thrown away?
The real reason is actually very simple: because Xia Yibing found that the content of this book is really useful.
She even made a table at the end with the date count. Hitzfeld counted the days one by one and found that she had recorded less than eighty-five days.
...Of course her face didn't look good, and she felt like she was even worse at this.
Did I agree to her promise too early?
But I like her very much, and this is different from ordinary relationships between men and women... This shouldn't be considered as being taken advantage of, right?
Scratching his hair, Hitzfeld piled these old books on the bedside, planning to pick out clothes first and settle accounts with Xia Yibing when she came back.
This time she was more efficient and it took her less than five minutes to put together today's outfit.
The top is a pure white shirt with a rounded neckline and wavy lace trims. The bottom is a black mid-length skirt with a suspender structure.
The straps on the front of this skirt are parallel and vertical, but the back is cross-shaped. The length is probably shorter than her other skirts, sometimes you can see her knees.
Hitzfeld is quite content with her crossed back straps; she doesn't want to be reminded of a basketball star when she looks in the mirror.
Considering that it would get cold at night, she did not use the combination of suspenders and stockings. After changing her underwear and skirt, she put on a pair of pantyhose directly.
The skirt is black, and if the stockings are too dark, it will be difficult to distinguish the class. So this time she chose a lighter color, more brown, so that you can distinguish your calves from the folds of the skirt at a glance.
After changing, she looked in the mirror and her fair face turned red.
The two straps in the front are hung around the chest, which highlights the outline of the chest and gives a stronger visual impact.
And she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the shirt she bought before was a bit tight.
There was nothing wrong with showing it to Xia - after all, the contents inside had already been seen, but Hitzfeld didn't want to go out on the street dressed like this.
She found a dark brown short jacket to wear outside. She didn't button the collar of the jacket, but it provided good coverage.
Finally - she jumped onto the bed and took out from under the pillow a heart-shaped gem pendant with a clasp and a thin chain extending a little more than a centimeter.
This is what Xia Yibing bought for her at the night market yesterday.
It wasn't a valuable item, but she liked it very much. She hung the lock on the metal buckle at the front of the black leather collar in front of the mirror.
Taking a few steps back to examine the overall look, especially focusing on the lively way the pendant swung around her neck, Hitzfeld was very satisfied with his aesthetic.
"This outfit looks pretty..."
He walked without making any sound again, and Hitzfeld was almost frightened sick by Xia Yibing who was touched back.
"How long have you been watching?"
"Not long... you had just put on your socks when I came in."
Unwilling to give up, the girl pouted and pointed at the book on the bedside: "What are these things about?"
Xia Yibing was dumbfounded.
She then realized that these clothes were actually bought by her before, so naturally, the things she had hidden inside were also exposed.
This is a real misstep...
I thought she wouldn't touch the bag...why did she want to find new clothes when she had nothing to do?
Director Xia is a man who doesn't understand romance. She hasn't figured out the reason yet.
But at least she knew she was in danger, so she immediately used her innate ability to turn and grabbed the girl's wrist.
"Hey?"
Hitzfeld was stunned for a moment. What was she going to do?
"Come on!"
Xia Yibing pulled her and ran towards the door.
"I found something very interesting."
"If you go later you won't be able to see it!"
Chapter 13 Daily Life 5
After Hitzfeld hurriedly changed her shoes, he carried her downstairs quickly amid her screams. Xia Yibing directly opened the car door with the key and motioned for the girl to enter from the other side.
Hitzfeld sat in the passenger seat in confusion, and as soon as he closed the door, he felt the seat shaking.
The accelerator was really strong... I wonder what she discovered that made her so excited?
"This is really interesting." Xia Yibing was unwilling to explain, and looked mysterious. "Especially for you... and for me. Don't ask. You will understand when you get to the point."
