134. Chocolate, dopamine and blessings

Heven is very busy every day, so Hala spends a long time alone during the day.

At first, she just used these to wait for Hewen to come back. She was very good at waiting. If she learned anything during her life in captivity, it was how to make the boring time pass faster.

But it didn't take long for her to find a new way of entertainment, which was the mountains of books in Hewen's room.

If each book is regarded as a world, then the number of books here is as vast as the sea of ​​stars. If Hora takes out one, he will see a new one where the books disappeared. Even the library of the ancient emperor Alexander cannot compare with this.

It is comparable to a small study room.

The books here also cover almost all types on the market, as well as taboo books that must not appear under the sun, but those books cannot be taken out at all, and even those books whose covers will cause pollution just by looking at them

Will spontaneously disappear when she steps into the study.

At first, Hala's main reading materials were fairy tales, and then there were all kinds of books describing the life of knights, fantasy epics, forbidden love, and stories about the sufferings of the world. She would not refuse them all.

As the number of readings accumulated, she turned her attention to books containing more profound knowledge.

At first, she couldn't understand the contents of the book at all, but with her strong memory and understanding ability, she memorized every book she read, and then compared it with other books in her mind, and she could barely understand it.

Part.

Selecting new books every day is a very interesting part, because she has no idea what books will appear on the bookshelf the next day, and the luckiest gift is naturally a book written by Hevin himself.

So far, she has only encountered three books written by Hewen himself, and these three books are still placed on the desk in her bedroom.

Today she picked out a book called "Natural Environment and Industrial Development" and lay down on the bed to read it with gusto. Time passed quickly while she was reading. It didn't take long for her to give the book to her in a daze.

I finished reading it in a hurry.

"Can protecting the environment ultimately protect humans? It's so profound." Hala returned to the study with the books and put them away.

She looked at the time and saw that it would be quite some time before Hewen would come back.

When she was in Firth, Hewen asked her not to leave the house alone. However, after arriving in Allen, Hewen no longer restrained Hala and told her that she could move freely on campus and in the city center, but she must take Hewen with her.

Once her bracelet is taken off or she is in danger, Hevin will appear next to Ha La as soon as possible.

The first time refers to a moment.

Although staying in the house is not boring, Ha La prefers to go out for a walk from time to time.

She put on her small satchel, put on her cute and round women's leather shoes, opened the door, and walked along the quiet path to the more lively part of the campus.

The cute girl who appears in the school has become a new campus legend. Many students have heard of the existence of Hala, and many people look at the girl from a distance with the eyes of rare animals.

Ha La was hopping around like a little rabbit on the school road as if there was no one around. She had no intention of making any friends here and was just feeling the breath of nature.

Ha La walked to the convenience store she often went to. The store owner was a gentle and kind mother-in-law, and she had given her a lot of candies before.

As soon as Ha La appeared in front of the shop, the old woman smiled lovingly.

"Little Hola is here to buy things again? What do you want to eat today?"

Ha La glanced to the left, where several young male students with sneaky looks were huddled together, glancing in this direction from time to time.

Ha La didn't pay attention to them and walked directly into the store with a sweet smile:

"Mrs. Shelley, let me come to the store to have a look."

The old woman looked at the small child with a smile, then reached out and took out a long square bar wrapped in tin foil:

"This is our latest candy, would you like to try a small piece?"

Hala twitched her nose gently like a hamster:

"It smells so good, what is this?"

Mrs. Shelley looked as proud as a child showing off her treasure to her friends:

"This is called chocolate. It is very sweet and delicious, and it also has a lot of interesting knowledge?"

Ha La sat on the small chair prepared by the old woman, showing a curious expression:

"What story?"

The old woman said kindly:

"Big boys and girls in the city give each other things every Valentine's Day. A long time ago they gave each other cards and cookies, but in the past ten years many people have chosen to give chocolates."

Halla looked at Mrs. Shelley with her big eyes:

"why?"

Mrs. Shelley said:

"That's because about ten years ago, one of my papers was discovered, which mentioned that chocolate not only contains many substances that are good for human health, but also substances that can promote the secretion of dopamine."

Hall thought about it carefully, and she seemed to have heard of the term dopamine, which seemed to be a very important neurotransmitter.

The old woman continued to explain:

"An appropriate amount of dopamine can make people feel happy, so there is a saying that giving chocolate to your loved one will make him feel very happy, and some even say that it can make people feel in love, so many people use this

This is a food that is good for the body and is also very delicious to give to the one you love, but in my opinion, the meaning of chocolate is more important."

Ha La's eyes instantly lit up when she heard that chocolate can make people feel happy:

"Mrs. Shelley, how much does this chocolate cost?"

Mrs. Shelley said:

"Twenty pence a piece."

Of course, this large piece of exquisite dark chocolate is more than this price. Giving away chocolate has always been a luxury game for the upper and middle classes. However, the old woman is still relatively wealthy, so it doesn't matter if she sells a few pieces of chocolate at a loss.

Ha La said happily:

"I want a hundred!"

Mrs. Shelley smiled helplessly and gently:

"How can I have so much chocolate? And, Xiao Hela, do you really have so much money?"

Little Hera opened her satchel, and there was a lot of money in it. She counted it carefully and said with a serious face:

"I have 42 pounds of pocket money with me."

Mrs. Shelley was shocked for a moment, but she quickly recovered her smile:

"Actually, I have five pieces of chocolate here that I haven't sold yet, so they're so cheap. If you want them again, I'll have to restock them, and I'll have to sell them to you for 50p."

The 50 pence was actually the purchase price, and the five chocolate bars were not unsellable, but they were what she had just given to Hola.

Ha La put her fingers to her lips and thought for a while:

"I'll just get my piece of chocolate for that."

Mrs. Shelley warned:

"Don't eat too much in a day, otherwise you may get fat."

Ha La nodded:

"Don't worry, I bought it as a gift."

Mrs. Shelley asked curiously:

"Does Little Hola also like a boy?"

Ha La's face blushed slightly:

"There is no boy I like."

Hala bought the chocolate to give to Hevin. She hoped that Hevin would be happy every day after eating the chocolate.
