Chapter 8 Living with Jinx

In the early morning, Li Ke felt itchy on his face. He reached out and patted his face a few times. Li Ke moved his body and continued to sleep.

"laugh."

But when he heard a silver bell-like laughter, Li Ke immediately opened his eyes.

Looking to the side, Li Ke saw Jinx supporting her chin with one hand, and sweeping a bunch of blue hair across Li Ke's face with the other hand, pinching the hair and sweeping it specifically towards Li Ke's nose.

Seeing this, Li Ke reached out and lifted Jinx's hair. He was completely awake. He looked at her and whispered, "When did our relationship become so good?"

Jinx pulled her hair back and said casually, "We've always had a good relationship, haven't we? You even gave me candy when we were little."

"Is there such a thing?" Li Ke really couldn't remember it. He stood up and rubbed his face.

With his adaptability fully maximized, he was able to accept things like time travel, the golden finger, and being remembered by Thresh just the day before yesterday. So it doesn't seem strange that he can now accept sleeping in the same bed with a crazy gangster's daughter, right?

After all, compared to being crazy and dangerous, can Jinx be more dangerous than Thresh?
Of course not.
Jinx said seriously, "Yes, I remember it very clearly."

"Also, Li Ke, you should get up. I'm hungry." Jinx continued to say to Li Ke.

"so?"

"So you go buy me food, I have no money." Jinx said.

"I don't have much money either." Li Ke replied.

The money that Marsan left for him was only enough for his food for a few days, but now with Jinx included, it would be all spent in less than two days.

"Okay, then I'll go get the money? Don't worry, I know how to get the money the fastest." Jinx took out a gun and her finger twirled the trigger. Li Ke looked like he was really afraid of an accidental discharge.

Thinking of Jinx's way of making money, Li Ke sighed.

Whether it is Jinx or Vi, there are usually only three ways for Zaun people to make money. One is to work honestly for the Piltovers and earn some hard-earned money from them. The other is to form a group to go to the Piltovers' homes and steal something to sell. The last one is the most primitive and violent way.

Obviously, Jinx's way of making money is the third one.

"I understand. I'll go make dinner. You wait here for me." Li Ke stood up, took off his coat beside him, and put it on.

Jinx lay down on the bed again. When she heard the sound, she raised her legs and supported her waist with her hands on the bed. The action seemed to indicate to Li Ke that she had heard it.

Li Ke didn't say much, turned around and pushed the door open to leave.

----

On the way to the restaurant, Li Ke saw a lot of gangsters along the way. Looking at them and thinking of Jinx lying on his bed, Li Ke felt helpless.

What would happen to Silk if he knew Jinx was lying in his bed?
Um.
The best case scenario is probably that he will be shot to death, and the worst case scenario is that someone from Hilco will use him to catch sharks?
Li Ke had no doubt about this.

Although he thought Hilco was very charming and liked Hilco very much when watching the Battle of Two Cities, when he really came to Zaun and had the memories of this place, Li Ke knew what Hilco brought to Zaun.

In Zaun, which is under violent rule, the lower class people feel fear and hatred towards Hilco, and there is no gratitude at all.

No matter what, even if Zaun becomes independent in the future under the leadership of Hilko, how can the suffering Zaun people at this moment relieve their pain?

If you only look at the results and not the process, you will often lose a lot of things.

Therefore, Li Ke sometimes really thinks that it would be great if Hilco and Vandel could merge together. In that case, Zaun will definitely become better. With Hilco's iron-blooded wrist and Vandel's spiritual ideas, Zaun will be truly united instead of what it is now.
Reform requires blood and pain, but they are not the ones who have to pay for it.

"Hey, please, sir, I haven't eaten for three days."

"Sir, do you want some glimmer? It's the latest model. I guarantee it has no side effects!"

"No! Please don't take my child away!"

The painful sound reached Li Ke's ears, but Li Ke ignored it, came to the door of the restaurant, pushed it open, went in and ordered two meals.

A portion of boiled frog leg meat and a portion of bread mixed with broken stones and impurities.

Li Ke returned home with the food. "Wow! It's the frog leg meat?"

As soon as she entered the room, Jinx came to Li Ke, leaned over, and sniffed the smell from the lunch box with her little nose. She raised her head, with a hint of excitement in her bright blue pupils, and said loudly: "I haven't eaten this for a long time. How do you know I like this?"

"Hilco doesn't let me eat these things, saying they are unclean. He often cooks for me himself, but his cooking skills are really not that good." Jinx reached out and grabbed the lunch box, picked up a piece of leg meat with two fingers, put it on her head, opened her mouth, let go of her hand, and then started to eat the leg meat with a slurp.

Li Ke: “.”

"I'm glad you like it. Here's some bread." Li Ke handed over the bread.

"I won't eat that, it's not tasty." Jinx took a look and said with disgust.

The bread she ate was from the upper city, soft, delicious and sweet. She didn't want to eat this dry and hard bread.

Li Ke didn't care after hearing that. He tore off the bread, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.

Li Ke swallowed the bread with wood chips and sand, then looked at Jinx and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay here?"

"Are you going to chase me away?" Jinx turned her head to look at Li Ke with a very calm expression.

But his hands stopped eating and his body turned towards Li Ke.

"Forget it, you can stay as long as you want." Li Ke rubbed his cheeks which were sour from chewing bread.

"Great!" Jinx was happy, and reached out to grab the Frog, took out a frog leg, and handed it to Li Ke.

"Eat." She said to Li Ke.

Li Ke was about to reach out to take it, but Jinx dodged it, then put her hand in front of Li Ke and looked at him: "Eat."

Li Ke was stunned for a moment and opened his mouth. Jinx then reached out and "poked" her hand into Li Ke's mouth.

The meat of the magic frog was soft and greasy, with an indescribable fishy smell and a strange taste. When Li Ke closed his mouth, he touched Jinx's finger.

"It's delicious." Li Ke said after swallowing it with difficulty.

Jinx beamed.

Li Ke started chewing his dry bread again.

Late at night, in the core area of ​​Zaun's Black Alley, this place looked much wealthier than the outskirts of the alley. People gathered in the center. There were wealthy businessmen wearing top hats, gang members with tattoos, and in front of the huge sculpture, people opened their mouths and drank the purple liquid spraying from the sculpture.

In the very center is a tavern. The strange sign at the door is covered with graffiti, making the sign look like a big bright eye. The people of Zaun call it Fulgrim's Tavern.

Passing by the flashing neon lights, restless music, and drug-fueled drinkers on the first floor, a woman with a mechanical arm and a resolute face walked straight up to the restricted area of ​​the second floor of the Fugen Tavern.

There was a knock on the door on the second floor, and after a moment, a deep voice sounded.

"Enter."

Pushing open the door, the second floor of the Fugen Tavern was covered with all kinds of weird graffiti. The desks, books, cups, and all kinds of things were all painted with cute blue and pink pictures.

On an old chair, a man was sitting there quietly. He was wearing a tight vest with a red shirt underneath. His hair was combed meticulously. He had his back to the woman and was drawing something in front of a mirror.

If you look closely, you will find that he is putting on makeup, painting half of his face in front of the mirror. There are various scars on that half of his face, but with the movement of his hands, those scars are gradually covered. He raised his hand, turned the mirror behind him, looked in the mirror with his scarlet eyes, then he put down the mirror, reached out to the table, and touched a lighter with two smiling eyes painted on it.

A cigar is placed in the mouth and the cigar is lit.

The man turned his chair and placed his hands on his abdomen. He looked very elegant.

"came back?"

Hilco said.
