New York is simply paradise. Jack has been God for several days in a row, and every day is the United Nations Uncovered Conference. Here, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can get all kinds of services.

It happened that he was rich, and the CIA compensated him with 200,000 yuan. Plus his previous savings, it was enough for Jack to squander it.

But a phone call from Lucy pulled him back to Los Angeles.

Zilin Road Community

The sunshine in the afternoon was very good, and Lucy sat on the promenade of her home drinking tea. The smell of scented tea was strong, and she took a sip from time to time.

A taxi stopped on the side of the road, the door opened, and a man got out.

The taxi left, and Jack's figure appeared carrying a travel bag.

Both siblings saw each other and smiled. Jack crossed the lawn and came to Lucy, lowered his head slightly, exposed a slit in his sunglasses, and looked at each other with a smile.

Lucy also came up to Jack with a smile and gave Jack a hug.

"Oh, it's tea! When did you start drinking tea?"

Jack threw the travel bag on the lawn. As soon as he sat down, he smelled the faint fragrance coming from the table. He picked up Lucy's drink and took a sip.

"Recently, my neighbor recommended it. It tastes very good."

He came here to say hello to Lucy in advance. He had always thought that the explosion of the Starlight was aimed at him, but now he found out that it was an accident. He just took advantage of the free time in the past two days to visit his sister and children.

.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. Jeremy and Lilith were just a little frightened. They've been pretty good these two days, but you..."

Lucy looked at Jack as she spoke, hesitated to speak, and finally said: "What is your job?"

Jack knew he couldn't hide this. After the explosion that day, he was separated from the children and kept in isolation.

Later, Lucy came to pick up the child, but the FBI still refused to disclose Jack's whereabouts.

A few days later, Lucy saw the press conference about the bombing. It didn't mention anything about Jack, and it was unclear about Jack's behavior of throwing the bomb, so she made some guesses.

"What I can tell you is that I work in a special department of the government. I can't say anything else, and you shouldn't ask."

"Is it dangerous?"

"Fortunately, it's not very dangerous." Jack shrugged.

"What about your previous job as a European tour guide?"

"I'm lying to you too. I was posted abroad at that time, but now I've changed departments."

Lucy nodded, as if she didn't know what to ask. After a while, she couldn't help but asked curiously: "Agent?"

"So be it."

"Boy, you are really capable."

Lucy slapped Jack on the head, and her careless look made Jack feel familiar. It was the memory of the original owner of this body.

At that time, Jack and Lucy were still children, living with their parents in Texas. At that time, Lucy slapped herself on the head like this. Well, it was a routine method used by older sisters to bully younger brothers.

Jack likes this feeling very much. After time travel, he became Jack and inherited all the memories of the original owner. He does not reject family affection and even enjoys this warmth very much.

"Pay attention to your safety. Do you understand? My parents are gone and I only have you."

Lucy suddenly became sad, which made Jack don't know what to do. The carefree Texas girl usually doesn't behave like this.

"Okay, okay, aren't there Jeremy and Lilith? Where are they?"

Jack didn't know how to comfort Lucy, so he had to change the topic.

"Over there, they are playing with Mira..." Lucy said, pointing to a house diagonally opposite.

Jack looked over and happened to see two children and a little girl playing on the lawn. The mistress of that family came out and said something to the children. The children cheered, and then all three children walked towards Lucy's house.

"Mom, Mom, Mira's mother invited us to have dinner at his house..."

"Jack spoke up..."

Lilith and Jeremy ran back first, shouting excitedly as they ran, and when they saw Jack in front of them, they even threw themselves into his arms with excitement.

Mira's mother also pulled Mira over and said: "Lucy, we are going to have hot pot tonight, do you want to come together?"

Mira's mother looked Asian at first glance, with black hair and dark eyes. When she said she wanted to have hot pot tonight, Jack knew she was Chinese.

"That's great, Celia." Lucy danced happily.

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is my brother, Jack. He just arrived. This is Celia..."

Lucy introduced the two of them, and they nodded to each other when they met for the first time.

Celia smiled and said: "I invite you too, I hope you can get used to Chinese food..."

"Yes, we will change clothes and be there soon."

"Okay, uh... you can also change it later. The smell of hot pot is relatively strong, and you usually have a smell after eating it, so..."

Mira's mother gave a kind reminder, and after saying that, she took Mira and left first, going back to prepare.

Jack looked at Lucy. Lucy was very excited, abnormally excited.

Lucy obviously knew this, but didn't care: "You don't know, Mira's cooking skills are very good. Well, they always say it's a common meal and make a few random dishes, but they are really delicious.

, it’s simply magic. It’s amazing. They can always make simple things delicious. I suspect that I was a Chinese in my previous life..."

Lucy couldn't stop talking, and Jack wanted to laugh. Lucy's reaction was the same as that of many Americans. They have always eaten modified versions of Chinese food and have never eaten authentic Chinese food.

When you eat authentic Chinese food for the first time, your previous perceptions will be completely subverted.

In fact, there is no such thing as authentic Chinese food in the United States, but it is very expensive and not everyone likes it. The taste is different for everyone. Those who like it will love it to death, and those who don’t will not want to taste it.

Lucy, on the other hand, obviously belongs to the category that loves to eat.

Half an hour later, Lucy's family knocked on the door of Mira's house and handed over the red wine as a gift.

Both of Lucy's eyes were shining. She could smell the strong smell of hot pot even before she entered the door. After entering, it filled the room. The unique aroma of hot pot rushed into her nose, constantly stimulating her taste buds and making her mouth water.

.

Of course, Jack's performance cannot be as hopeless as Lucy's. In his previous life, he was an out-and-out Chinese.

I have to say that hot pot may be the most suitable food for gatherings. A lot of people sit together. Those who love meat, those who love vegetables, those who can eat spicy food, and those who can't eat spicy food can all find their favorites here.

of.

The soup base has many flavors, there is a lot of room for dipping sauces to choose from, and the ingredients are extremely tolerant, so everything can be cooked.

The children were full after eating a few mouthfuls. Little Mira took out her jelly schoolbag to show off. Jeremy and Lilith were filled with envy and couldn't put it down.

The jelly schoolbag is actually a small transparent backpack filled with jelly of various colors. This thing is not sold in the United States. It was mailed by Xiao Mila’s grandma from distant China. It is said that the postage is several times the value of the goods themselves.

.

Relying on this thing, little Mira has been filled with envy these days and has become the most beautiful child among the children in the neighborhood.
