Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 6.6. A Sunny Second Morning
——First floor of the hotel——

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly.

The maid Mary got up very early and, upon arriving at the inn, saw a row of dark footprints on the floor, which made her extremely distressed.

"Madam, Madam! When will the hotel be able to accommodate homeless people?"

She knelt on the ground wiping with a rag, muttering to the approaching woman that the filthy little footprints left on the ground made her sweat profusely just from wiping away a small patch!

"Guests come first; you can't always refuse their requests."

The woman put on her reading glasses, slowly sat down at the counter, and took out a book: "Besides..."

Good morning, ladies.

At this moment, He Ye, who had come down, greeted them.

His mental state had returned to normal, without any trace of gloom. Upon seeing the maid, He Ye, who considered himself an English gentleman, even took off his hat and bowed.

Beside him was a black-haired girl with a sour face, who was no longer as radiant as she had been the night before.

Nicole had changed back into her old hooded robe at some point. The tattered clothes made her status as a homeless person immediately apparent.

The maid immediately understood the woman's implication; she suppressed her resentful expression and even her tone became ladylike.

"Good morning, Sir."

Wishing you a bright and sunny day.

"Thank you."

After a brief exchange, He Ye took Nicole and left the hotel.

He could no longer hear the conversation between the two people in the hotel, but the idea that had popped into his head last night would be put into practice today.

"The sunshine is wonderful, isn't it?"

He Ye smiled gently as she looked at the girl beside her.

Nicole: "Hahahaha..."

Her expression was uncertain, like a mouse facing a mousetrap with cheese hanging on it, hesitant to make a decision.

what to do……

The thing I had imagined didn't happen last night, which made Nicole feel both relieved and wistful, because while she escaped a disaster, she also felt sorry for her grandfather's impotence.

Nicole had planned to sneak around while he was asleep, but the man stared at the ceiling in the middle of the night with a dreamy expression, occasionally revealing an intoxicated look, which scared Nicole half to death.

Is this guy sleeping with his eyes open?

Finally, she unknowingly fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again it was already morning. Nicole had just gotten out of bed, quietly changed her clothes, and was ready to give up on this trip—

Then I saw Mr. Leon sitting on the bed, already awake, with a bright and charming smile on his face, his hands behind his head.

"Why do you need to change clothes?"

Nicole was so frightened that she trembled and stammered.

"These clothes are yours, sir. I...I...I...I'm leaving now, so I won't take your things with me..."

Nicole's words reached Mr. Leon's ears, as if touching his heart and causing him great distress. He then immediately decided to get dressed and go out.

And then it became what it is now.

—Narcissus Street, Clothing Stores—

After walking for 10 minutes, He Ye and Nicole arrived at a clothing store. The owner had just opened the curtain with a yawn when he saw customers coming in, and his expression changed drastically.

"Welcome! ...Uh, homeless people are not allowed in this shop, sir."

The boss rubbed his hands together, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. It wasn't until He Ye took off her hat, bowed, and explained her background with compassion that he gained her sympathy and was allowed to enter.

"Okay, okay, okay."

The store sells clothing for men, women, and children of all ages, including traditional Chinese jackets, fur coats, and cotton-padded jackets. Through the transparent glass wall, you can even see mannequins wearing luxurious evening gowns. "Sir, why did you bring me here?"

Nicole had calmed down considerably and, after weighing the pros and cons, decided to continue following He Ye, remaining vigilant about her surroundings. Today was the last day of the week, and she had to pull off a heist to complete her mission, or she'd be in jail.

"Need I say more? Here's a complete set of suitable clothes for you."

He Ye calmly said that although he didn't have many coins in his pocket, he had more than enough to buy a clean set of clothes.

Soon, the shopkeeper, pinching his nose, brought Nicole a set of trendy women's clothing—her tattered coat smelled terrible.

"Cough cough cough..." The boss pinched his nose and walked away.

Nicole was flattered; she hadn't expected this intention!
"Sir, you are so kind!"

After changing into her dress in the dressing room, Nicole spoke sincerely. She walked out, stood in front of He Ye, and placed her hand on her chest again, her voice full of emotion as if making a vow.

"I have to write your name on the painting, frame it, and hang it in the most prominent place in the house, and then..."

"Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop." He Ye raised his hand. "Let's spin around."

Nicole clumsily did as she was told, "Oh, oh."

Her skirt fluttered gracefully.

Sure enough, she looked more like a lively, youthful girl.

He Ye stroked his chin, decided on this outfit, and went to the counter to pay the bill. He also wanted to ask if they had a smaller size, but the owner said righteously that all clothes Nicole had worn had to be bought! After all, they had her scent.

"Are you sure you want to change to a smaller size?" The shopkeeper smacked his lips and gave him a stern look.

He Ye looked at her wallet and suddenly thought that it didn't matter if the clothes were a little big, since the girl could still wear them when she grew up.

Leave the clothing store.

Do I smell bad?

After leaving the clothing store, Nicole pulled up her collar, sniffed it, and asked curiously.

He Ye was too lazy to comment. This guy had no self-awareness. His nose was almost used to the smell. On the contrary, he looked at Nicole, who was wearing a white dress. Clothes make the man, and she certainly didn't look like a homeless person now.

We should be able to take them in too.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go get some breakfast."

He Ye patted his neck and said that the hotel pillow was a bit low for him.

"Really? You're actually planning to treat me to breakfast! My goodness, may God bless you with a long and healthy life!"

Nicole cheered with joy.

To be honest, she had quite a lot of praise for him.

He Ye felt much better. Helping people wasn't about redemption; it was just a really good feeling, and he wanted his new life to have a good start.

Yesterday is gone, and he won't look back.

He Ye wiped his nose: "Two more lines."

"Wow! Sir, you are so kind and handsome! You are the kindest person I have ever met in the world. To be honest, I have never met anyone who is so good to me!"

Nicole cheered and jumped around like a little squirrel, almost climbing onto He Ye's shoulders to hop and sing her praises!

The sun shone brightly, leaves drifted down from the branches, and people went about their lives on the bustling street. He Ye tossed her change with light steps and a smile on her face, while Nicole beside her munched on a piece of bread, her cheeks bulging.

"Eat to your heart's content! Eat to your heart's content!"

"The sunshine is wonderful, isn't it?"

The conversation was inexplicable, but He Ye's gaze was so gentle as he turned to look at her, which made Nicole's expression subtly show a hint of hesitation. She looked up and hesitated. Even the carefree Nicole knew that the gentlemanly grandfather had been so good to her, and if she repaid kindness with ingratitude, she would go to hell.

Hey……

Forget it, let's eat first!
