“You won’t be disappointed!”
As she spoke, Gloria showed a confident smile on her face.
Although her job is to deal with corpses, she has good cooking skills.
I think my cooking skills were...
Forget it, forget about that bastard.
The small episode had little impact, and the smile on Gloria's face did not diminish.
This time, she was going to have a good fight.
After all, the kitchen is also a battlefield.
Without firm belief, you can't make delicious food.
"Then I'll look forward to it."
He has eaten a lot of delicious food. I hope Mrs. Gloria can give him a surprise.
But compared to the food, Xu Qingshan was more interested in 'that bastard' that Gloria mentioned in her mind.
He is supposed to be David's father, a man who has never been mentioned in the anime.
Abandoning wife and children? Or die young?
Exploring the 'story' outside of the plot and filling in the gaps is quite interesting for Xu Qingshan.
…
"Mom, why are you so happy? The deputy mayor agreed to come?"
Looking at his mother's heartfelt smile, David asked.
That shouldn't be the case. Are you really coming?
At this moment, this... is what David really thinks.
Even though he saw the change in his mother's expression, he still didn't believe it unless his mother gave a positive answer in the next second.
"Well, the deputy mayor said that he has time today and will come to our house for lunch at noon."
As she spoke, Gloria had a happy smile on her face.
The fact that Xu Qingshan really came back was actually beyond her expectation.
She originally thought that the most she could do was make a phone call, give a reason why she was unavailable, and then add an apology or something like that.
After all, they...are people from two worlds.
"Really!"
"Um."
As Gloria nodded again, David really believed that the deputy mayor would come.
It would be fake if I didn't say I was excited.
That was the deputy mayor, and much more than just the vice president. For such a big shot to actually come to their house for dinner, it was... like a fucking dream.
It was possible to come before, like a dream, but now it feels like I am in a dream.
Looking at his mother, David felt that his mother's smile was a little different from usual, but for a moment he didn't know what was different.
Because he should be so happy, after all, he is the same.
……………
Wash vegetables, cut vegetables, cut meat,...
La la la~
After getting the exact news, Gloria hummed a little tune while busy in the kitchen.
Everything is so skillful.
In the living room, David was also working at full speed, finishing the work that originally took more than an hour in 20 minutes.
He had only one goal at this time, to give his home that clean feeling.
But he was not only welcoming the deputy mayor, but also for the slightest bit of pride in his heart.
An hour later.
The meal is ready, the dishes are ready...everything is ready.
Ding dong~
At half past eleven, the doorbell of the rental house rang.
"I'll open the door."
In the living room, Gloria spoke first.
Then, before David could react, he walked quickly to the door.
Click~
When she opened the door, she saw Xu Qingshan, whom she had been waiting for for a long time.
For a moment, she was so happy that she didn't know what to say.
"Mrs. Gloria, long time no see."
Seeing her dazed, Xu Qingshan smiled and said hello.
Today, Gloria is wearing a black T-shirt, her burgundy hair is simply tied up, and her two strands of hair are hanging down naturally.
The lower body is a pair of blue jeans, slightly faded.
Except for the missing coat, she looked little different from the last time I saw her.
Still as positive as ever.
"Long time no see! Please come in, Mr. Xu Qingshan, no need for slippers."
After coming back to her senses, Gloria said quickly, making a gesture of invitation with her hand.
Gloria, what's wrong with you! It's not only embarrassing to be distracted in front of guests, but also......
"Then I'm going to come in."
"Please come in!"
…………
When you walk into the room, you are greeted by a very familiar layout.
The layout of the room of the game protagonist V is similar, with windows facing the door, L-shaped sofa, built-in wall cabinets,...
Because the anime probably borrowed V’s Room... No, it would be more appropriate to say it was a homage.
In addition to the familiar layout, there is also a familiar yet unfamiliar boy in the room.
David Martinez, the protagonist of this world.
When Xu Qingshan looked at David, David was also looking at Xu Qingshan.
Handsome, sunny,...and kind.
The real person is more...perfect than what they see on TV.
That's right...it's perfect. This was David's first impression when he saw a real person.
Although he has seen plastic ones that look better, this natural one is even more attractive.
"You must be Mrs. Gloria's son David."
"Yes, Mr. Xu Qingshan."
As he spoke, David straightened his back unconsciously.
Even in shock, he still answered Xu Qingshan immediately.
"This is a little greeting gift, I don't know if you like it or not."
Handing out the gift box in his right hand, Xu Qingshan smiled and motioned for David to take it.
This scene left David a little unresponsive.
He did not reach out to take the gift box that was handed over to him, but looked at Gloria behind Xu Qingshan, and his eyes revealed the embarrassment of whether he should accept it or not.
"But whether you like it or not, I want you to open it after I leave, because I'm afraid your mother will ask you to return it to me."
Before Gloria and David could react, Xu Qingshan spoke again, and turned to smile at Gloria.
For a moment, the words Gloria wanted to say were stuck in her throat.
Her cheeks were slightly red with embarrassment, and her eyes were even more evasive, not daring to look directly at Xu Qingshan.
"Thanks!"
Compared to his mother's embarrassment, David smiled and took the gift box handed out by Xu Qingshan.
In this situation, there is no other option except to accept, so David is very decisive.
Although he didn't know what was in the gift box, the other party said so, it must be something good.
"Now that you've collected it, let's put the things away quickly. It's time to eat."
"Yes mom."
After saying that, he quickly entered the bedroom carrying the gift box.
"I obviously agreed to treat you to dinner, but you still bring a gift, eh~"
Holding her forehead, Gloria said helplessly.
Our family already owes you so much, and now you are bringing gifts to my David. This kindness... is not over yet.
She didn't think that the gift box contained milk or something. From what this man said, she knew that it must be something very expensive.
"Okay, okay, that's not a valuable item, just a small gift."
Waving his hand, Xu Qingshan explained with a smile.
It was a small gift indeed, but for me, I think David must have liked it very much.
"I don't believe you."
Gloria just rolled her eyes at him.
She didn't realize that Xu Qingshan had changed from the you she said to you.
