Chapter Sixteen: The New Dead
Why……
Yi Xing sat up from the bed, rubbed his forehead, looked at the morning light coming through the curtains, and thought: I suddenly want to eat lychees.
He decided to buy some.
Lychees are a very expensive fruit in Japan. They are basically sold with one or two in a small plastic box or wooden box. Even when they are cheap, they cost 500 yen each.
An all-you-can-eat meal like Erina's is too luxurious for ordinary people.
Yi Xing actually has a lot of savings.
Over the years, the eldest lady has never given him less pocket money.
He basically didn't want anything, and Erina never let him spend money when buying things for both of them to share, so the money stayed in the bank and saved a lot.
He decided to keep silently saving money for emergencies.
Although Yoshiyuki feels that the eldest lady will never be short of money, he still wants to be just in case. As long as he has money, even if something unexpected happens, he can help Erina tide over the difficulties.
So from Yoshiyuki's point of view, this money was regarded as something he had saved for Erina.
After all, the worrying eldest lady is always spending money lavishly, and she really needs someone to help her leave some way out.
Last night, in order to avoid oversleeping due to the sudden change of environment, Yi Xing set an alarm clock for the first time in a long time.
However, the lifestyle habits of serving the eldest lady for many years have made Yi Xing's biological clock very precise. He still woke up at the right time, and the alarm clock hadn't even sounded yet.
So, what should I cook for the eldest lady in the morning?
After Yi Xing finished washing, he turned on the TV to play the morning news as background music. He yawned and opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients inside.
I’ve decided, let’s bake some egg pancakes and serve them to the eldest lady with her favorite banana yogurt!
With this thought in mind, Yi Xing quickly took action.
The so-called banana yogurt is not a finished product that can be bought directly in the supermarket.
Instead, Yi Xing crushed the bananas himself in a blender and mixed them with a specific brand of yogurt in perfect proportions.
This is the eldest lady’s favorite flavor. Erina calls it Giyuki Banana Yogurt.
It is very tiring to mix the whole cup of mashed banana and thick yogurt evenly without letting the banana flavor in one bite be too strong or too light. You have to stir it at high speed with a special technique for half a minute.
Make the perfect banana milk.
Suo Xingyi Xing's arm strength and endurance are extremely amazing, and this is not much of a challenge for him.
Just when he was making the banana milk that he was satisfied with and putting it in the refrigerator to refrigerate, he heard a very disturbing announcement on the TV.
Another girl who was about to enter high school was found dead in her apartment, leaving only a pile of bones.
Although the Metropolitan Police Department sealed off the scene and could not confirm whether there were bite marks on the bones, reporters believed that this was basically in line with the serial killer's usual modus operandi.
The news mentioned that according to hearsay, the deceased's parents were often busy outside and neglected to take care of their daughter, so they only discovered the deceased's body when they returned home three days after the incident.
In addition, the reporter also claimed that although it was not confirmed by the police, there were no signs of violent intrusion into the residence at the crime scene. Therefore, it is suspected that the prisoner was voluntarily brought into the room by the deceased. This may indicate that the deceased was deceived and was even very familiar with the prisoner.
At the end of this news, parents with teenage daughters must pay more attention to their children recently and try to finish work and go home as early as possible. Girls themselves must also be more vigilant towards strangers and avoid going to secluded corners alone.
Don't even go out at night.
This is so weird... Yi Xing heard this and frowned: Was the crime scene actually the deceased's home?
So far, six victims have been found.
The murderer must be caught as soon as possible to prevent tragedy from happening again.
Yoshiyuki fell into deep thought about the case, but soon the sound of the eldest lady opening the bedroom door attracted his attention.
Erina hugged Dango sleepily, yawned, and spoke in a vague tone.
"Oh, morning, Yixing."
"Good morning, Master. It's really rare that you woke up without asking me to wake you today."
"Hmph... Isn't it awesome?" Erina actually felt a little proud.
The eldest lady who always stays up late and doesn't want to sleep, once she falls asleep, has a hard time waking up on time.
"Yes, miss." In order to make her happy, Yi Xing smiled bitterly and did not talk back: "Put the dumplings on the sofa and go wash up quickly. Get ready for breakfast."
Erina was obviously still confused, because just now she actually wanted to carry Dango to the toilet.
Even after brushing her teeth and washing her face, and taking off her nightgown and changing into regular clothes, she still looked drowsy. She even lay down on the dining table and closed her eyes, as if she was about to fall asleep again.
"Come on, miss. Be careful of the burn."
Yi Xing put the sizzling and oily egg cake on a porcelain plate, poured a cup of banana yogurt, and gently placed it in front of the eldest lady.
"Oh!" Looking at the golden egg pancake in front of her, Erina finally woke up and licked her soft, crystal-clear lips excitedly, eager to try: "It looks great! It would be even better if Yoshiyuki is willing to feed me.
Got it!"
"No problem, miss."
Yoshiyuki didn't think feeding the eldest lady was a troublesome thing at all.
He actually enjoyed it too.
Even if Erina requires him to serve and feed her, Yoshiyuki doesn't mind.
So, Maekawa Yoshiyuki squatted slightly and stood next to Erina, cutting the egg pancake into small pieces for her, observing the speed of the eldest lady chewing and swallowing, and giving the next bite with a fork at the right time.
At the same time, use a tissue to gently dry her mouth from time to time to prevent oil stains from causing discomfort to the owner.
As for the yogurt, the eldest lady drank it herself. If you let others feed the drink, you will not get the best experience anyway.
You might choke if you're not careful.
"Okay, Yi Xing, I'll do the rest myself. Your portion will get cold if you don't eat it."
Erina proposed with satisfaction after the plate was half empty.
"It's okay, Miss. The egg pancakes are also good when eaten cold." Yoshiyuki continued to cut off small pieces from the egg pancakes that could just be swallowed by Erina's mouth, and mentioned the news just now: "By the way, sir.
Miss, there is news about a serial killer again."
"Cough, cough..." Erina almost choked on her yogurt after hearing this: "What? Someone died again?"
Yoshiyuki then recounted to him the content of the report he had just heard.
As Erina listened, her expression became a little uncomfortable.
He no longer opened his mouth to eat the egg pancakes brought to his mouth by Yi Xing.
"Miss, don't be sad. Things have happened and we can't change them." Yi Xing sighed and comforted her: "It's just like the evil spirit you exorcised yesterday, isn't it? No one can change her death.
