What! Our family is actually the descendant of the evil god?.

Seeing the excitement on the girl's face, Eros smiled and asked casually:

"You look about 9 years old, right? Why don't you go to school?"

The girl who was counting flowers in the basket heard this and said with a disappointed tone:

“There’s not enough money at home!”

Eros was a little confused and asked, "The church's night school is free!"

"I'm going to help my mother paste matchboxes tonight!" Jessica replied in a low voice.

Eros was stunned for a moment, and only then did he notice the matches pressed under the flowers in the basket in the girl's hand.

"You've been selling matches outside during the day?"

Jessica nodded obediently.

Eros fell silent for a long time before he spoke: "Then why didn't you ask me if I wanted to buy matches?"

Jessica showed a hint of embarrassment on her face and said, "Sir, you don't look like someone who can use matches. A respectable gentleman like you should use a lighter."

After saying this, Jessica took out all the flowers in the basket and handed them to Eros, saying happily:

"Sir! I have counted them. There are 36 in total. If you are worried, you can count them yourself."

Eros smiled and said, "No, give me another box of matches, and then you can calculate the total amount!"

Jessica nodded heavily, and then counted the money on her fingers.

After a while, Jessica said crisply: "36 flowers, 2 pence each, a total of 62 pence!"

Eros couldn't help but smile when he heard the answer. He reached out and touched the girl's head. Eros chuckled and said:

"You calculated wrong, it's 72 pence!"

Jessica was stunned for a moment, then she counted on her fingers again, and then she said with some embarrassment:

"I miscalculated, it's 72 pence, just give me 70 pence after rounding off the decimal point, and I'll give you a box of matches."

Eros did not hesitate and immediately took out seven ten-pence notes from his wallet and handed them to the little girl in front of him.

Jessica took the banknotes and carefully counted them. The gentleman had been looking at her before she met him, and she showed a hint of embarrassment on her face:

"It's not that I don't believe you, sir, it's just... just..."

Eros shook his head: "It's okay!"

Hearing that the gentleman in front of her didn't care, Jessica breathed a sigh of relief, then unbuttoned her coat and stuffed the 70 pence into the small pocket inside her coat.

After watching the girl put the money away, Eros smiled and said:

"Since you gave me a box of matches, I want to give you something too. Don't refuse, or I won't buy flowers from you anymore."

At first Jessica wanted to refuse, after all, she didn't feel comfortable accepting gifts from others, but after hearing what was said next, she felt both happy and aggrieved.

What makes her happy is that this gentleman will buy flowers from her in the future, but what makes her feel aggrieved is that the other party forced her not to refuse.

Seeing that the girl did not refuse, Eros smiled and said, "Come with me!"

Having said this, Eros took the girl all the way back to the Youghal Bank.

After entering the bank, Vadim immediately saw the young police officer, so he hurried over and asked:

"Mr. Conan, what's the matter?"

Jessica on the side blinked and nodded. It turned out that the handsome gentleman was called Conan!

Eros looked at Vadim and chuckled, "I wanted to borrow a pen and a piece of paper from you."

Vadim smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll get it to you right away!"

Soon Vadim brought a piece of paper and a pen, and only then did he notice the little girl in tattered clothes following Eros.

"Mr. Conan, this is..."

Vadim was a little confused. Could this be a lost child from some family?

Jessica heard the fat middle-aged man asking her, so she quickly introduced herself:

"I'm Jessica, and Mr. Conan bought the flowers from me."

After hearing Jessica's self-introduction, Vadim also turned his gaze to the flower basket in the girl's hand.

Then he saw the basket of wilted flowers. Vadim was stunned for a moment, then he understood something, so he smiled and said:

"How much do these cost?"

Jessica said a little embarrassedly: "Two pennies a piece, but all the flowers inside were bought by Mr. Conan."

Hearing this, Vadim showed a hint of disappointment on his face, and he said regretfully:

"I wanted to buy a few for my wife, what a pity..."

Eros glanced at Vadim, smiled without saying anything, and continued to write and draw on the paper.

Vadim fixed his eyes on the paper and read out the words with some curiosity.

1x1=1，1x2=2，1x3=3……

Yes, Eros wrote the multiplication table.

After finishing writing the last 9x9=81, Eros handed the absorbent pen back to Vadim.

Vadim took the pen and said with some sigh, "Although it's simple, it seems that no one has ever summarized it before."

Eros smiled and handed the paper with the multiplication table to Jessica.

"Memorize this when you go back. It should be much easier for you to do math in the future."

Jessica didn't expect that the gift the gentleman in front of her said he would give her would be this.

Although she was still young and didn't understand what this meant, just the sentence that math would be easier in the future would help her a lot.

Jessica said with tears in her voice: "Thank you, Mr. Conan!"

Eros smiled and touched Jessica's head, then turned to Vadim and said:

"Thank you for the paper and pen!"

Vadim also smiled and said, "You're welcome, it's just a small matter."

Eros waved goodbye to Vadim, then left the Yor Bank with Jessica.

Back on the street, after taking the flowers and matches from Jessica, Eros looked at the little girl in front of him and said:

"Next time you sell matches, try to stay on York Street. Don't go to other places too far away. It's unsafe! Remember?"

Jessica nodded obediently, and Eros smiled and praised:

"So good!"

"Okay! I have to go to work!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Conan!" Jessica smiled sweetly and waved.

Eros also waved his hand.

Looking at the man's receding back, Jessica carefully kept the papers in her hand and then trotted back home.

She had to give the money from selling flowers today to her mother first. She had never carried so much money on her since she was a child, which made her feel very uneasy.
