Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

Nicole came back to her senses and quickly said

"Ah, I was just thinking about something else..."

After a simple evasion, Nicole fell into silence again, quietly eating the food in front of her, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

"Are you planning to raise the banner of rebellion?"

In the yard, Xuan Li grabbed the little black cat by the scruff of the neck, and its struggles were in vain.

"Plotting to usurp the throne?"

"Treason?"

"Do you want me to change your turban into a yellow robe?"

Xuan Li had a kind smile on his face, which made the little black cat a little bit angry.

The little black cat looked at Xuan Li with its amber eyes, ignored him, or did not dare to show anything, and could only look "fiercely" at the little white cat below.

traitor!

Abandoning the cat's pride, it will deprive it of its cat identity!

"Come on, kid, you're still glaring at me. You have to understand one thing: you can't erase the sky above your head, okay?"

When Xuan Li's voice fell, the little black cat seemed to understand what he said. It cried out weakly and became wilted.

On the side, Nicole found the interaction between the man and the cat interesting and couldn't help but smile.

She remembered that Maoyou had told her that she and Xuanli had experienced a lot of interesting things in the raccoon cat house recently. With these special cats around, they must be very happy.

Thinking of this, Nicole came close to Xuan Li and asked tentatively

"Xuan Li, that..."

"Haha, the Tanuki House welcomes all friends, and Nicole is naturally a part of it."

Xuan Li smiled slightly, bent down and put the little black cat down, but the little black cat had lost its fighting spirit and collapsed on the ground, and the little white cat next to it was looking at it curiously.

This is too much of a blow to bear!

"Hey? I haven't said it yet, Xuanli, how do you know what I'm going to say?"

Nicole's expression froze, her eyes slightly widened, a bit surprised and curious at the same time.

"That's easy, because Nicole's thoughts are easy to guess, or rather, easy to understand. After all, it's written all over her face."

Xuan Li waved his hand and smiled softly.

"what?"

Nicole subconsciously raised her hands and touched her cheeks. Was her thoughts written on her face? Was it really that obvious?

"Hahaha, I don't mean it literally. Nicole can also think of it as me being able to see through other people's minds more easily."

"Come on, help me get some cat food. We really can't let these hard-working little guys go hungry."

Xuan Li couldn't help but smile when he saw Nicole's actions, and then asked her to go to the car to get food.

The toys that we brought to interact with the cats had already been taken by the children. There were not many things left in the car, and you could see where the cat food was at a glance.

After taking out the cat food, Xuan Li was about to say something to Nicole when he saw two people in strange clothes running over in a hurry.

Xuan Li looked at the two of them and felt a little strange.

This special uniform... doesn't seem like something ordinary residents can wear.

"What's wrong, Xuanli?"

"fine."

Shaking his head, Xuan Li took Nicole back to the yard. Several children also ran over and wanted to feed them together.

After feeding, a little boy ran over and invited him and Nicole to play games.

Xuan Li naturally would not refuse. He and the little boy walked towards the children not far away. Nicole stood there for a while, thinking about what Xuan Li had just said.

It's easier to see through other people's minds... doesn't that mean...

Nicole looked startled, but quickly shook her head.

No, no, if that were the case, Xuan Li wouldn't be in his current attitude. I must be overthinking it...

"Boss Nicole, we're just missing one person!"

Nicole came to her senses when she heard the child's voice. She waved and walked over there.

"coming!"

……

Children's games are childish.

But Xuanli still integrated into it and had a lot of fun.

Because what is interesting is not the game itself, but these innocent children who say a few words from time to time, which always make others laugh.

Even when there was a conflict between two children, the way they solved it was laughable.

However, this also kept the atmosphere in the orphanage relaxed, not as solemn as Xuan Li had imagined.

After the game, Nicole brought a small box out of the small house. When she opened it, there was a pile of candy inside.

After calling Xuanli to help, Nicole began to distribute the candies to the children.

"Do all children like sweets?"

Xuan Li stood beside Nicole, looked at the small box that was already half empty, and the children in the yard who were playing contentedly with the cats, and raised his eyebrows.

"Rather than liking sweets, I think they are actually easier to satisfy."

Nicole smiled and continued softly

"These cheap candies are very cheap. The commission fees from the small commissions in the Cunning Rabbit House in a month can buy a lot of them. And one piece of candy can make the children happy for a long time."

"Sometimes, I'll take them to eat ramen. You know, that kind of food is very lethal to children."

Xuan Li nodded slightly. He had eaten the food in the orphanage before, so he naturally understood how tempting the ordinary food in the shops outside would be to these children.

Simple things in daily life are precious to the children here.

Tsk, he suddenly felt a little ashamed of the wasteful ramen he had eaten in the Mars District.

What No. 11 said at the time was not without reason.

Wasting food is indeed an undesirable behavior.

Not noticing the change in Xuan Li's expression, Nicole sighed again and said a little embarrassedly

"Unfortunately, I'm short of money. In order to save some money and let more children eat ramen, I often go to 'grab' some ramen discount coupons and other things."

"Hehe, although discount coupons and free coupons are usually limited, and I can feel that they have already recognized that it is the same person, they still gave me the things!"

Nicole said with some pride

"Hmph, it must be because I'm so charming that the store owner doesn't care about this matter..."

Xuan Li forced a smile upon hearing this. Nicole's charm... that seems to make some sense...

Nicole looked towards the yard and said softly

“Actually, these kids are really nice.”

"Whether I bring anything delicious or not, they never say anything. It's the same when we eat ramen. I always bring it up first."

"Otherwise, even if they really wanted to, they wouldn't say anything about it..."

Listening to Nicole's words, Xuan Li thought of something and asked curiously:

"By the way, Nicole, why don't I see any older children in the orphanage?"

After the words fell, Nicole smiled bitterly.
