Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Immune
At noon, Jack drove with Jean back to his home.
"You can sit in the living room first, I'll go make some food. You must be hungry, right?" Jack said
Jack got out of the car and took out the vegetables, fruits, and a large piece of A5 Wagyu beef he had just bought from the supermarket from the trunk.
This stuff was expensive and difficult to buy. Jack had never bought it before, but wanted to try it and see how it tasted. If it was good, he would buy it again next time.
Jean felt a little awkward, which was normal. Suddenly coming to a strange place, she couldn't help feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She wanted to help Jack with the things, but he waved his hand to indicate that she didn't have to and told her, "Go sit for a while, lunch will be ready soon."
In the living room, Jean tried to read a book on quantum physics, but she couldn't concentrate. She kept glancing at the kitchen, where the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard.
She didn't know what Jack was cooking, but she felt warm inside. Since her parents died in a car accident, she had hardly ever had the experience of sitting in the living room waiting for a meal like this.
From this kind and friendly stranger, Jean once again felt the feeling of being at home, a feeling that even Professor Xavier couldn't give her.
Jean didn't want to go back all of a sudden for a reason.
It seemed staying here was not bad at all.
Half an hour later, Jack said, "The food is ready."
He carried a big bowl of hot water-boiled beef and put it on the table, saying to Jean, who was looking at him blankly, "Eat up, you must be starving."
"No, I..."
Jean wanted to refuse, but a rumbling sound came from her stomach, her face turned red, and she picked up the knife and fork without saying a word.
This was Jack's thoughtful preparation in case she wasn't used to using chopsticks.
The feeling of hunger hit her again, and she decided to eat first before speaking.
But when she took the knife and fork and looked at the table full of tasty food, she didn't know what to eat and was a little confused. Jack, not knowing Jean's taste, had made dishes of all four major Chinese and four American foods.
As a result, the originally quite large dining table was completely full. Jean, who already had decision-making difficulties, was even more troubled.
"Let me help you," Jack said when he saw that Jean didn't know where to start. He picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of boiled beef in her bowl, saying.
"Try this. It's a little spicy, and you might not be used to it."
Jean looked at the plate of bright red and fragrant beef, swallowed quietly, and picked it up with her fork. As soon as she took a bite, her tongue was hit with a sudden numbing spiciness, making her frown and almost spit it out.
But the next moment, a strange and delicious taste spread through her mouth, making her unable to resist chewing a few more times.
"Mmm!" Jean widened her eyes and looked at Jack in amazement. "It's so delicious. This is the best food I've ever had!"
"If it's delicious, then eat more." Jack smiled and kept picking dishes for Jean as if afraid that she wouldn't be full.
Almost half of the large food table was eaten by her, yet there seemed to be no effect on her whatsoever.
After a while, lunch ended.
"Ah, it was delicious, thank you," Jean put down her utensils and rubbed her stomach happily. No one could tell that her flat little belly had just consumed so much food. She didn't forget to thank Jack, either.
After feeling satisfied, Jean suddenly remembered her situation and realized what she had just done, her almost wild dining etiquette. Even though Western girls are often more carefree, Jean was feeling a sense of shame and embarrassment at the moment.
Her small face was instantly covered in blush, and Jean kept her head down, afraid to look at Jack.
"You enjoyed it, that's all that matters," Jack said, not making fun of Jean. He knew his cooking skills were unmatched by few in the world.
As he spoke, he stood up and began to clean up the dishes on the table. Jean quickly stood up to help, and Jack smiled and didn't stop her. She would likely become anxious if he didn't let this girl help.
Together, they quickly cleaned up the table.
As they washed the dishes, Jean insisted on helping, and Jack could not refuse her. They played with the dishes in the sink.
Jean took a quick look at Jack, raised her eyebrows, and hesitated before stuttering, "Do you...do you know me?"
She had been meaning to ask this question for a while, but with so much happening and so much information to process, she had not had the chance until now.
"Oh, you're asking about that," Jack said, carefully scrubbing a plate and shrugging. "I guess you could say we've met before. Jean Grey, Omega Class mutant with telepathy and telekinesis. To be honest, even all of mutants, your abilities are the most strongest."
Jack didn't mention anything about the Phoenix Force, as its power was too big, and he feared that Jean would be even more afraid of it if she knew.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly, Jack reached out and caught a plate that had slipped from Jean's hand. But Jean was surprised that Jack knew so much about her.
"Then...aren't you afraid of me?" Jean asked nervously, her abilities were too strong, her telepathy or mind could enter into others' minds.
Even though she didn't really try to find out other people's secrets, even her mutant's classmate still avoided her.
"Of course not. I've encountered mind readers before, but it doesn't affect me, so don't worry."
Putting the last plate into the dryer, Jack wiped the water stains from his hands and said, "Besides, I don't think I have any secrets that are not for others to know. Maybe there are, but I've forgotten them. If you can help me remember, that would be even better."
Jean felt like laughing, she had never seen someone who, after knowing her abilities, was so calm. She used her ability to try to see if Jack was serious.
However, this time, her power failed.
