In a villa on the outskirts of Beijing.
In the kitchen, Lu Mingfei was cooking fish, while Norton and Constantine were washing vegetables.
The fish should first be fried until slightly brown, then add a fried egg, and then add warm water to cook. This will make the fish soup taste better and more flavorful.
When he was at home, Lu Mingfei not only bought soy sauce for his aunt, but also cooked.
Therefore, he knows how to do it to some extent, but most of the time he doesn't do it.
"The shrimps are ready. Do you want to divide them into half to make them smooth?" The kitchen is very large. On the other side, Xia Mi washed the shrimps and asked, "If you want, I'll chop the shrimp meat first."
"want!"
"I want to eat!" Constantine was the first to raise his hand.
"Okay." Xia Mi nodded, "I'll let you try my craft today."
"I didn't expect that the mighty Dragon King would also cook himself." Mai Shutoku sat in the living room, glanced at the kitchen and said teasingly, "Are you sure you can do it?"
"Dragon King, don't you want to eat?" Xia Mi rolled his eyes, "Anyway, the poison won't kill you, don't worry!"
Su Enxi was lying on the sofa, her head resting on Jiude Mai's legs, and her feet on Ling's legs. She was holding a bag of potato chips in her hand, stuffing them into her mouth one by one, and said vaguely, "Let the little ones Let's go and get busy, and let's watch the Spring Festival Gala. After all, I paid my salary, right?"
In a way, Norton and Constantine are both her employees!
The title of chief alchemist is not for nothing. She pays Norton a salary every month, and sometimes Norton even applies to her for funding for new research projects.
As the boss, Su Enxi didn't understand or understand alchemy at all. Norton asked for appropriation, how could she not give it?
She doubted whether Norton was bullying her into not being able to understand, thereby defrauding her of money.
So it’s okay for her to enjoy it, right?
"Oh, do you know that you now look like an unscrupulous boss who exploits your employees?" Mai Jiude stretched out her hand and pinched Su Enxi's cheek and said, "Why don't you watch the Spring Festival Gala? Find a movie to watch."
Ling watched Su Enxi's feet rubbing against his legs and pushed them away expressionlessly.
"Oh, we girls, don't be so stingy. Do you blame your sister for not trusting you for so long? I'll give you a kiss now, mua~" Su Enxi sat up and went to hug Ling, but Ling blocked her with his hands in disgust. Coming over to the forehead, "Ma Yi needs you."
Besides, what does it mean to give you a kiss?
You're obviously just kissing someone else, okay?
Su Enxi was a little regretful, and waved to Fenrir who was sitting obediently, "Sister, there are potato chips here, do you want it? Call me, sister, and I will give you the potato chips. There are more in my room. What does it taste like?" There’s everything.”
"Really? It smells like everything?" Fenrir's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"There are all kinds of flavors. After all, my sister has plenty of money. I can buy whatever flavor I want. How about it?" Su Enxi said.
From the kitchen, Xia Mi's voice came out, a bit annoyed, "Fenrir, when will you change your temper and sell yourself with a bag of potato chips?"
"There are a lot of bad people here, you have to protect yourself!"
Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of Xia Mi frantically chopping shrimp meat.
Lu Mingfei's eyebrows jumped when he heard this voice.
It always felt like she had something else in mind.
"Oh, but..." Fenrir glanced at the kitchen carefully.
However, the potato chips are really delicious!
Ella glanced at the people cooking in the kitchen and asked, "Can't you just buy it?"
"You are so rich, you don't have to go through so much trouble if you just buy it."
"This is different." Lu Mingfei did not look back.
"What's different?" Ella asked.
"It's definitely different. Maybe it's a sense of accomplishment?" Lu Mingfei said.
"Happiness?" Norton said.
"No, it's obviously a feeling of trouble. It's unnecessary to find something to do for yourself." Mai Shutoku stretched her waist.
Eryi walked into the kitchen at this time and came close to Lu Mingfei.
She looked at the fish in the pot and said, "Let me help too!"
She hasn't cooked for a long time.
It had been more than a year since she last cooked.
Well, Eriyi naturally included her barbecue on the mountain into cooking.
However, after hearing what Eliyi said, Norton and Constantine shook their heads. "Eriyi, you are a guest. There is no reason to ask guests to help. You go and sit down first. We will call you when you are ready."
"Yeah." Constantine nodded, "Sister Eriyi, this is custom!"
Hearing this, Eriki looked at Norton and Constantine in confusion, and then looked at Xia Mi, who was chopping the shrimp meat into minced meat, "Then why did she..."
Should Xia Mi be considered a guest?
Oh no, Eriyi always feels like something is wrong.
This house seems to belong to Su Enxi, right?
The owner of the house is lying on the sofa at the moment, with his pillow on his soft thighs.
These people should all be considered guests, right?
"Old Tang, watch." Lu Mingfei greeted Old Tang, and then pulled Eliyi, who was still a little confused thinking about this problem, out of the kitchen. "Cute girls generally don't cook."
"Damn it, Lu Mingfei, you're going to die. What does it mean for a cute girl not to cook?" Xia Mi's roar came from the kitchen. She was about to come out with a kitchen knife. Constantine quickly grabbed Xia Mi. , "Sister, no!"
Then he winked at Xia Mi vigorously.
He didn't want to try the art of Eriyi again.
Have a good New Year!
Xia Mi looked at Constantine, then at Lu Mingfei, and probably guessed it.
But if you take Eri out with you, just take Eri out with you. Why do you have to slap me?
What will happen to me if I cook?
"Sooner or later I'm going to beat you up!" Xia Mi said viciously, baring his teeth.
"Yeah, I support you." Constantine said quickly.
"What about you, Constantine, will you help me?" Xia Mi looked at Constantine and asked.
When Constantine heard this, he thought about how Lu Mingfei had brutally crucified him with the Seven Deadly Sins, and how Lu Mingfei could turn into that terrifying black monster. He shook his head repeatedly, "I won't fight."
Xia Mi, "..."
If you don't fight, you won't fight, but what does that scared look on your face mean?
...
...
The meal was quickly prepared and everyone sat down one by one.
Ella raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Mingfei.
"What's wrong?" Lu Mingfei asked with some confusion.
"Someone is coming," Ella said.
"Who else is there?" Lu Mingfei was a little surprised.
Bang bang bang!
As soon as Ella finished speaking, there was a loud knock on the door outside.
Everyone looked at each other.
Lu Mingfei stood up and walked over to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a somewhat obscene head stuck its way in.
"Hey, happy New Year's Eve everyone!"
"Look, what did I bring you?"
Fingel raised the red wine in his hand, "I spent a lot of money to ship it from France. This is a treasure. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, I wouldn't be willing to drink it!"
Lu Mingfei took the red wine from Fingel's hand, looked at the origin marked in Chinese on it, and asked hesitantly, "Brother, why do I think it's the kind that costs 50 yuan for three bottles in the supermarket?"
It doesn’t matter if you use a fake one, you have to be more serious and use a completely English one. Why do you use a Chinese one?
"Junior brother, how can senior brother be such a person!"
“I really bought this with my only savings!”
He entered the door skillfully, then closed the door and took a deep breath, "It smells so good!"
Then, Fingel naturally moved a chair to Norton's side and said, "Old Tang, squeeze in!"
After sitting down, Fingel left and said to Lu Mingfei, who was still standing, "Junior brother, come here quickly. Why are you so polite? Just treat this place as your home."
"You really consider this place your home!" Mai Shutoku rolled her eyes.
"Oh, wherever the organization is, that's my home!" Fingel looked at Su Enxi, "Boss Su, are you right?"
"Oh, junior sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become cute again!" Fingel praised.
Hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes showed a smile, "Thank you for the compliment, senior brother. It's better for you, senior brother. It's not like a certain person who even beats his junior sister. This is really sad."
"Oh, I can't help it. There are too many scumbags these days. Junior sister, don't worry. Senior brother, I am definitely not that kind of person." Fingel said, patting his chest.
"You don't dare either." Hearing this, Ling glanced at Fingel silently and said.
"Junior sister, you are the same, what are you talking about?" Fingel was not embarrassed at all.
However, Fingel looked at Eriyi again, "Eriyi, how is your brother recently?"
Eriki nodded, "It should be okay?"
"Should it?" Fingel was startled, thinking that this young lady was cheating on her family again, right?
But he did not continue to struggle, but said, "Eriyi, do you remember what you said when we were eating ramen?"
Eriki tilted her head and looked at Lu Mingfei, who was sitting next to her. Lu Mingfei shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.
"What did you say?" Eryi looked confused.
"That's it..." Fingel waved his chopsticks, "Here's the check!"
"Didn't you say you would write me a check? Where's the check?" Fingel's face was filled with anticipation.
"Oh, did I tell you that?" Eriyi thought for a moment, and then said, "Eriyi forgot it. If Eriyi forgot it, then she definitely didn't say it!"
Hearing this, the expectation on Fingel's face solidified, and there seemed to be a heartbreaking sound.
His dream of getting rich was ruined.
"Come on, let's all have a drink first." Mai Shutoku handed everyone glasses and said, "I don't know what to say, so I'm just going to say part-time workers. In short, the fact that we can sit together and spend this New Year is the result of joint efforts. , hard-won.”
“We don’t know what will happen in the days to come, but we’ll just keep walking.”
"The road is always made by people."
"Cheers and happy New Year's Eve everyone!"
"cheers!"
"Happy New Year's Eve!"
The wine glasses clinked together, reflecting pairs of eyes full of hope.
Those eyes are so clear and bright, with light.
...
...
After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone came to the rooftop.
In this weather, we should not be able to see the stars.
But tonight, the sky is extremely clear, and you can even see a crescent moon.
The wind in the air is cold, but the breath is clear as a mountain.
There was a faint sound in the air coming from far away.
Beyond the mountains, the sky is rendered in color.
It’s just that the mountains cut off everyone’s sight.
"There are no fireworks here. It would be great if there were fireworks." Xia Mi said.
"Fireworks?" Fenrir asked curiously, "What are they?"
"Fireworks, although they last only a moment, are extremely bright." Xia Mi thought for a while and said, "That is the most beautiful light in the world and the most gorgeous light."
"I want to see it too," Fenrir said.
Ella stood on the edge of the rooftop, the wind blowing her long silver hair, and she looked at the night in fascination.
Beside her was Eri wearing a miko costume.
At this moment, Eriyi was also looking at the night sky in the distance.
A year ago, she also saw fireworks that were as bright as the distant sky. It was the most beautiful picture in the world.
She still remembers that when she saw the colors shining in the night sky, she seemed to feel the warmth of the world.
"What are you thinking about?" Ella asked.
"Thinking of the scenes of watching fireworks in the past, have you seen them?" Eriki asked.
"Did you watch it with him?" Ella asked.
"Um."
"Lu Jun is a very good person, he can create miracles, he is very powerful!" When talking about Lu Mingfei, Hui Liyi's eyes lit up.
Ella tilted her head slightly, looked at the girl with joy written all over her face, and said softly, "You are also very powerful."
"Eri Yi is not very good, Eri Yi can't do anything." Eri Yi shook her head and said.
Ella gently reached out and combed Eriyi's long dark red hair, "You are also a person who can create miracles."
"What about you?" Eriki looked up at Ella, her ruby-like pupils filled with curiosity.
After contact, Eryi gradually felt that Aila was somewhat close to her, maybe because of her bloodline.
"Me?" Ella looked at Eriyi and was slightly stunned.
"Are you looking for something?" Eriki asked, "Just like me before?"
Ella shook her head and whispered, "I'm not you, everyone is different."
Eriki thought for a while and wanted to say something else, but before her words came out, flowers began to light up one after another in the dark around the villa.
Rose, rose, olive, lily of the valley, laurel...
These flowers lit up one after another, and soon filled the field of vision of Eri, Ella, Xia Mi, Fenrir and others.
It was as if in an instant, three thousand lanterns were shining and flowers were blooming all over the city.
Lu Mingfei's voice also came from high in the sky at this time, "Everyone, Happy New Year!"
Everyone looked up and saw Lu Mingfei fluttering his blue wings. Behind him were Norton and Constantine.
As Lu Mingfei's voice fell, the sky behind him suddenly reflected the light all over the sky. Countless sparks merged into gorgeous stars. Fireworks bloomed in the sky, exaggerating the beauty of this moment to the extreme, and also made this moment beautiful. The scene of the moment was deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei standing in front of the dreamlike scenery and couldn't help but feel a little lost. Some ice in his heart seemed to have melted.
"It's so beautiful." Fenrir said softly.
So this is the color of the world?
Even Ella, looking at this picture-scroll-like scenery, was slightly distracted.
Is this human fireworks?
So beautiful, so warm.
