"Mr. Xia, are you going to cook?"
"Well, if Miss Ningguang isn't in a hurry to go back, you can stay for a simple meal."
"That's annoying."
"It's alright, it's just a matter of two more sets of bowls and chopsticks... Zhu Zi! Have you cooked yet?"
"Not yet, boss!"
"Cook extra tonight, Miss Ningguang and Miss Baishi, please stay for dinner."
"Oh well!"
After dinner, Ningguang and Baishi said their goodbyes and left.
The progress bar for the black iron on Bai Shi's body has disappeared, and Xia Zhi's inventory now contains a black iron treasure chest.
Choose to open directly.
A small box appeared before his eyes.
Nail polish

nice one.
That evening, Xia Zhi was processing her low-income assistance when she suddenly remembered the thing that Ning Guang had been worrying about when she massaged her earlier.
The conflict between the Northern Kingdom Bank and the Liyue Bank...
He wasn't actually interested in these kinds of conflicts between nations, but he really liked Liyue, a country that was somewhat similar to his hometown.
In addition, his discovery of the Fools' plot to poison the North Bank had further diminished his goodwill towards the Winter Kingdom.
Xia Zhi pondered for a while, then opened the [Shop] and found an ordinary item that he had seen a long time ago.
[A set of economics books], Price: 1 point.
Xia Zhi spent 1 point to buy it, took it out and put it on the table, a whole stack of dozens of books.
The Wealth of Nations, Table of Economics, An Principle of Population, Capital, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money... Currency Wars...
Xia Zhi picked out a few books, including "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" and "Currency Wars".
After entering the dream, Xia Zhi let Shen He play games first, while he sat on the other side and carefully read through these economic works.
With his [Business Expertise] skill, he easily understood the books and made many notes on paper in Liyue language.
Xia Zhi then added the notes to his inventory.
Tomorrow we can give Ms. Ningguang a little economic shock.
Chapter 211 We're Even
the next morning.
Xia Zhi had just gotten up when she heard a soft knock on the door.
When the door opened, Shen He was standing outside his room, holding the red hair ribbon in his hand.
"Boss, please do my hair."
"Well, come in."
Shen He walked into his room naturally, then naturally took a few extra breaths of the air that smelled of his boss, a look of satisfaction appearing in his eyes.
"Sit on the bed."
"it is good."
Xia Zhi used his fingers to lift a strand of her soft, snow-white hair, and it was clear that her hair was somewhat messy.
Haven't you combed your hair yet?
"You comb my hair."
Shen He took out a jade comb inlaid with emeralds and handed it to Xia Zhi.
Xia Zhi held the comb and slowly combed her hair.
Shen He, with his back to him, suddenly whispered, "My master used to comb my hair like this too."
"is it?"
"This comb was also a gift from my master."
"Oh."
“At that time, my master told me that if I wanted to sever my ties with the mortal world and enter the immortal realm, I should comb my hair three times with this jade comb as a ceremony to become his disciple.”
"and then?"
"I combed it three times, and then my hair turned white."
"Is this how your hair turned white?"
"Hmm... do you dislike gray hair?"
"Nope."
"Really?"
"Really, white hair is the best."
"That's good."
Shen He's eyes relaxed, revealing a hint of hazy memories.
One comb removes the clouds of sorrow, a second comb brings neither joy nor grief, a third comb brings no regrets even as hair turns white...
Xia Zhi gently combed her hair and then tied it up with a hairband.
Shen He turned around and looked at him with bright, piercing eyes.
"chewing gum!"
"That's actually called sticky grass seed."
"Sticky grass seeds!"
"Here, here you go."
Xia Zhi took out the packet of "Sticky Grass Seeds," took one, and handed it to her.
Shen He didn't reach out to take it, but instead brought his face closer, opened his lips, and gently took the small sticky grass seed into his mouth.
Xia Zhi felt that her fingers were slightly damp and warm.
Shen He is getting better and better at it.
But when he "looked" at her, he only saw her aloof and serious expression, and it was this contrast that made her seem especially adorable.
Xia Zhi also tossed one into his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Two minutes later, Shen He leaned in again and gently pressed his lips to his.
Her movements were a little hurried, like a greedy little child.
Xia Zhi was pinned to the bed by her and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shen He looked up at him, a little puzzled.
"what happened?"
"fine."
Shen He tilted his head, then took out the jar of fruit candies, picked out one, and put it in his mouth.
Today's flavor is green apple.
It's sweet, with a hint of tartness.
It took the two of them quite a while to finish the candy.
Shen He sat up, still somewhat unsatisfied.
Xia Zhi also sat up, took out the box of nail polish that she had opened yesterday, and opened it.
Shen He looked curiously at the box containing a large number of strange little brushes and bottles.
"what is this?"
