After coming out of the logistics department, Valentine did not go home directly, but took a turn and went to the shopping market.
Gatherings with loved ones should be grand and should not be handled casually. The last time Razer went shopping in the supermarket for a long time, after returning home, several people worked hard for nearly an hour before eating.
It was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, the most tiring time of the day. But they didn't feel sleepy at all at the dinner table, talking and laughing. Even Franca and Raphael, who had never dealt with each other, were chatting and drinking, like best friends who can wear the same skirt.
Although Valentin felt that their smiles were a little strange at that time, he could feel that the joyful atmosphere he saw with his eyes was extremely real, and together with the laughter in his ears and the aroma of the food in his nose, they formed an extremely beautiful world. The presence.
Its name is "Home".
Usually when I'm with Raphael Xing Yihuang, the atmosphere between the three of them is more sweet and psychedelic. It can make people feel as relaxed as falling into the clouds, and it can also turn them into beasts dominated by instinct in an instant.
Although that feeling was very comfortable, it still lacked something in comparison.
What made Valentin feel "home" the most was the time he spent in Longmen.
The days are ordinary and fulfilling, without many disturbances.
Even though he had experienced a lot of bad things outside, when he pushed open the old security door and saw the cat lying on the refrigerator and the lively purple rabbit, he was surrounded by the tinkling sounds in the kitchen and the smell of food. When you are alone, the negative emotions in your heart dissipate instantly.
Like a big deflated balloon, it was spinning and flying into the distance, not knowing where it would plunge.
But what is certain is that it will not come back.
My heart has been filled with the plain, rough but sincere warmth in front of me.
However, the warmth at that time was mixed with water. After all, Cat and Tutu were not his family, but they had a good relationship and got along well with each other.
It's different now, it's true.
For Valentine, who is a time traveler, the warmth of family gathering together and having fun is addictive.
If there is a chance to experience it again, he must do it to perfection.
Valentine stood at the entrance of the shopping plaza, looking at the huge sign above in a daze.
There is also a New Year in the world of Terra. But Valentin has been here for so long, and he has never been able to find the taste of the year he once tasted on Earth, the kind of atmosphere that made him happy no matter how bad it was outside.
He had experienced New Year's Eve in Longmen, it was quite lively, even in the slums.
The whole city was filled with gold and red, and the only sounds in my ears were the crackling of firecrackers and people's laughter. The bright fireworks bloomed in the night sky, reflecting in Valentine's eyes, causing the corners of his mouth to rise slightly.
This is the happiest time of the year in Longmen, but it tastes a little bitter.
He is an outsider after all.
Now……
Valentin felt that he had found the flavor of the year he wanted in Terra.
--------Hey Hey Hey--------
To prepare a good meal requires not only high-quality ingredients and superb cooking skills, but also sufficient time.
After Valentine came out of the logistics department, he went into the supermarket, ran back and forth three or four times, and brought back a lot of things.
In addition to the ingredients needed for dinner, there are many decorations.
He felt that the decoration style of his home was too plain, and he wanted to make the living room look as warm as possible - but ended up not using most of it, so he returned it.
Valentine was very interested in this family gathering, but he was a little too interested in it, so that he brainstormed a decoration plan on the spot, and these decorations were used for this.
Raphael agreed with Valentin's idea at first, but after working for an hour and making the house even more messy, she realized that this brat just did it when his brain got crazy, and it couldn't be done in a few hours. Just return those things quickly.
After returning from the supermarket, he directly grabbed the little dragon man by the ear and went into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.
The afternoon passed by like this, and it was already dark when Razer and Franka arrived at Valentin's house.
Just the right time.
The dinner was very sumptuous and filled the whole table. Valentine is not afraid that he will not be able to finish the food. At worst, he can warm it up and eat it again the next day.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively, even more so than at Razer's house the other day. They talked a lot, and Valentin got to know the girls better, and finally learned the name of his biological sister.
Sandrina Petty.
His name is Valentine Petty.
According to Razer, the word Petty means "skinny and short" in the Waifan language, which suits them well.
Valentin tried to say Sandrina several times, but it always seemed difficult to pronounce. In the end, he chose to call his sister by her codename as before.
Razer didn't say anything.
When she first met Valentin, she felt uncomfortable because her brother didn't call her by her real name, and she always felt that there was a lot of alienation between them.
But now after experiencing that series of events, Razer no longer has this idea.
They are also a close family.
And when Valentin placed a large box with a ribbon in front of her after dinner, the strong and serious girl almost cried.
So many years of separation have not changed Valentin, he is still the perfect good brother in his heart.
"What's in here?"
Franka picked up her gift box and shook it.
It's not very heavy, there's no obvious sound, it just feels like...
"Clothes? Bags? Or stuffed toys?"
"How's yours?"
Franka turned to look at Razer, poked her arm, and stared at her face.
"I can't see through it."
Razer glared at the fat fox and placed the gift box next to his legs.
"You'll know when you go home and take it apart."
As soon as those eyes stared at Razer, he knew what this guy was thinking.
I just want to see how my mood changes.
In Franka's opinion, the relationship between the siblings is not generally good. The younger brother was normal, but there was something wrong with Razer, the older sister.
It's not that her love for her family has any purpose, but the emotion is too strong, and there is a strange brilliance in Franka's eyes.
He changed his original work plan and continued to stay in Rhode Island. He specially selected a large employee apartment for Valentine. When he heard that he was in danger, he drove to the rescue without hesitation. In the end, he was willing to believe a stranger's words and risked his life. Risking his life, he went to the so-called "different world" and just wanted to get him back...
Is this my sister?
This is my mother.
She is exactly like the sister in many novels and comics.
And those older sisters are more or less possessive of their younger brothers, hiding them under their care.
If only Razer had this sentiment...
Just what Valentine did by handing out gifts was enough to make her expression change wonderfully.
"What are you still looking at?"
Noticing that Franka hadn't looked away, Razer frowned, his horns turning slightly blue.
"Well, you look so beautiful today, I'm fascinated by it."
Franka got goosebumps when she thought about the feeling of being electrocuted. She flicked her tail, blurted out earthy love words, and quickly looked away.
But I clicked my tongue a few times in my heart.
She didn't see what she wanted to see.
Razer snorted softly, and the lightning on his horn dimmed.
In fact, at first, she did have the misunderstanding that Valentin had specially prepared a gift for her. She was also stunned when she saw the gifts given to other people later, but only for a moment.
The corners of his mouth were still raised, and his eyes were full of tenderness. Her fingertips brushed the surface of the gift box, and the delicate and wonderful touch sank into her heart, just like her care for him.
Just a simple feeling between family members.
It will not deteriorate or dissipate.
"Why?"
A voice interrupted Razer's thoughts, and the girls' discussion came to an abrupt end.
They followed the sound and saw Valentine sitting back down, holding a box in his hand.
The appearance looks similar to the four gift boxes, but smaller and has two words printed on it.
"Gift."
Valentine scratched his head.
The 99,000 customized plan from the Logistics Department didn't say there were any gifts.
Zilan didn't tell him either.
"Open it and take a look?"
Franka became interested and moved closer to Valentine.
The woman's sixth sense told her that there was definitely something interesting here.
Gifts need to be mysterious, but gifts don’t need to be. Valentine opened the box and took out the gift inside.
"cheongsam?"
He looked at the cool clothes in his hand, and a bunch of question marks popped up around his head.
"This size..."
Suddenly, Valentin felt everyone's eyes focused on him.
"It matches you very well."
