Snowflakes are falling from the night sky, and the hot pot is steaming.
"It's snowing." Sirona stretched out her hand and said softly.
"I give you permission to put your hand in my pocket to keep warm."
Sirona smiled: "No."
But she still put her little hands into her pockets, her snow-white cheeks stained with crimson.
"How does it feel."
"It's not cold anymore."
"But my hands are cold."
Sirona rolled her eyes and whispered: "I don't have pockets on my top."
Lu Ye said nothing, his eyes fell on Sirona's slender fingers as delicate as white porcelain.
Sirona's face turned red and she moved her hand off the wooden table.
"Just a return gift, don't think too much about it."
"Don't worry, I will definitely fall asleep with the touch tonight."
"...doesn't sound like a good thing."
Sirona looked directly at the bubbling red oil hot pot of Dudu, the juicy fresh vegetables, the sizzling oily meatballs, the delicate texture of the hot-boiled mutton...
She carefully groped with her fingers under the table, and soon she felt a gentle but strong hand, taking the initiative to grasp her hand into the palm of her hand.
Sirona pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, suddenly thinking of the first scene of shaking hands in the snow.
She scratched the palm of her hand with her little finger maliciously.
"Well..." Lu Ye's expression changed slightly.
"Teacher Lu, do you have a stomachache?" Xiaozhi looked over worriedly.
Lu Ye nodded with great effort: "Stomach pain... It's an old problem."
"When can we eat it?" Ajin asked, holding his chin.
"At least wait until the ball floats," Crystal said.
The little fingers of the two people touched again under the table. After testing, Lu Ye felt the delicate and tender touch.
Cattleya, who had just walked into the backyard, happened to see the two people who were very close to each other.
Cattleya opened her mouth wide.
Shocked Cattleya for a whole year!!
"Cattleya?" Wanlong stretched out his finger and shook it in front of her, "What is this?"
Cattleya shook her head and quickly walked towards the two of them.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at Cattleya in surprise.
"I also want to... have dinner together." Cattleya said with a pout.
Xiao Lan was the first to react and said with a smile:
"As for adding a pair of chopsticks, you can just find a place to sit!"
Wanlong bowed apologetically, sat next to Li Jia who was coming later, and whispered:
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"
"No, it doesn't matter." Li Jia said with a smile, her eyes flashing with excitement, "I just want to see such a scene."
Wanlong:???
Nazi squatted aside and looked at Gengar: "Christmas...do you want to train too?"
"Kou Jie!" Gengar nodded vigorously.
Let the master become the strongest trainer...this is its dream all along.
And now, it also feels that its owner is gradually responding to its expectations.
"Kou Jie! (??????)??" Gengar chuckled.
There is nothing more happy than this!
"That's great." Nazi said softly and suddenly smiled, "Then I'll train with you!"
Cattleya's arrival was really beyond Sirona's expectation.
"Why are you here?" Sirona pulled up her blond hair and asked in surprise.
"Well." Cattleya said nothing and squeezed in between Sirona and Teacher Lu.
Sirona smiled helplessly at Lu Ye, and then stroked Cattleya's long hair comfortingly:
"How about I stay with you after I go back~"
Cattleya looked at Lu Ye warily, then at Sirona, and shook her head.
That look, like that of an abandoned animal? Or a child whose favorite toy has been taken away.
"Okay." Sirona said with a smile, "Then let's all have a dinner together!"
"Uh..." Lu Ye took back his hand with some regret, looked at the steaming hot pot? and said with a smile:
"It's ready to go!"
It’s time to eat, it’s time to eat!
Ah Jin's eyes lit up and he quickly stretched out his chopsticks towards an attractive meatball.
Snap!
Chopsticks collided? Jin raised his head in surprise, and Xiaozhi also looked surprised.
The eyes of the two people collided fiercely in the air, sparking a series of sparks.
This is a fight between two people who work hard!
"This guy." Xiao Yin held his forehead helplessly, "It's really hopeless..."
Among the cooking levels, they are divided into levels such as Little Milk Fairy, Guoran Weng, and Fire-breathing Dragon.
Teacher Lu's cooking is undoubtedly of the highest level of 'Flame Bird'.
Ah Jin blew away the heat of the meatballs, stuffed them into his mouth, and suddenly his face turned red.
The spicy taste explodes on the tip of the tongue, and the delicious soup that comes with it makes people want to eat it.
After swallowing it hard, Ah Jin drank tons and tons of water while challenging the next meatball.
"It's so spicy!" Yulongdu gasped slightly, his eyes lit up, "But it's delicious!"
Chihong: "Huh? It's a little on fire!"
Kona: "This smell... is simply unreasonable!"
Xiaozhi: "One more bowl!"
Teacher Lu looked at this scene with a smile.
Forget it...let’s just write off all the small books we had before!
After all? It’s time for Xiao Benben to start a new round of revenge!
Cattleya leaned half of her body towards Sirona.
Sirona leaned close to her ear: "Give me your hand."
"Huh?" Cattleya was slightly startled, but still handed her hand to Sirona.
Sirona squeezed Cattleya's soft, boneless hand and tilted her head inexplicably.
Why……
Don’t you feel the same way you did just now?
…
Oak Research Institute.
Dr. Omu looked at the visitor in surprise.
"What?" Juzi said coldly, leaning on a cane, "I'm so old, so I can't come here to see you?"
Dr. Oki, a leader in the industry, was unusually embarrassed.
"Of course you can, but I thought you..."
Juzi leaned on crutches, looked around, and then glanced at Dr. Ohki.
"Smoke less."
Dr. Oki was stunned on the spot.
This...is this still the Juzi I know?
That Juzi who beats and scolds her whenever she disagrees?!
"What?" Juzi said coldly.
"Nothing." Dr. Ohmu shook his head, put out his cigarette, and asked, "Are you invited too?"
Juzi nodded slightly.
Dr. Oki said "Oh", and the two fell into silence for a long time.
Decades apart, both of them are already twilight old people.
It was beyond Juzi's expectation.
When I saw Damu Xuecheng, I had no anger, no blame, no resentment.
Some are just.
Oh, it turns out that this guy is also aging so fast.
The heavy snow outside was falling one after another.
"I'll get you a cup of black tea." Dr. Ohmu said hurriedly.
"I want..." Before Juzi could say anything, Dr. Omu added:
"You want to put sugar cubes, not cream, right?"
Juzi was silent for a long time and nodded slightly.
In the empty research institute, Kikuko looked at Oki Xuecheng's back.
He stood up with crutches and walked tremblingly towards Oki Xuecheng's desk.
Suddenly, her pupils contracted.
A faint smile spread across Grandma Juzi's wrinkled face.
"Let's go, Gengar."
"Kou Jie!"
Grandma Juzi leaned on crutches and walked tremblingly toward the snowy outdoors.
"Long wait." Dr. Omu hurried back with black tea in his hand.
But there was no one inside.
Oki Xuecheng scratched his head and suddenly felt a little lost.
Sitting back on the office chair, he held up the yellowed old photo and the letter sent by Juzi last time.
Looking down, Dr. Omu smiled unconsciously.
At the foot of the letter, there is a crumpled footer.
There is an extra smiling face of Gengar.
…
It's snowing heavily.
The outdoor party has also come to an end.
Chihong suggested that everyone take a group photo together as a souvenir.
When the 'fighting man' spoke, he must have received unanimous approval from everyone.
"Can I also take a photo with everyone?" Xiaozhi scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Of course!" Ah Jin pulled Xiaozhi over with a smile, "You little brother, I have already approved it!"
"Hey." Xiaozhi scratched his head.
Teacher Lu looked at the sky silently.
I just hope that Jin won’t infect Xiaozhi with his death-seeking personality!
Xiao Lan took out a tripod from somewhere and set a time.
"One, two, three, eggplant!"
At the same time, she ran towards Xiao Yin quickly, and Xiao Yin blushed and caught her in a panic.
"Eggplant~" Everyone laughed in unison.
"Koujie!(?`▽′?)?"
"Damn it, Gengar, you're blocking the camera, take another one!"
"One, two, three...Whose is this Pikachu?"
"I'm reporting it, it's Ash's Pikachu!"
"Ah, Pikachu, come back quickly!"
"Pica-chirp!???"
…
Kanto, Team Rocket's base.
The man in a suit is accompanied only by a cat.
The entire Team Rocket base took a holiday in a very humane manner.
Loneliness is like a heavy shadow, but Sakaki enjoys it immensely.
Didi didi——
Sakaki raised his eyebrows and picked up his rarely used personal cell phone.
When I clicked on the voice tone, it was that guy from Lu Ye, with a mean tone.
"Boss Sakaki, Merry Christmas!"
"This is my Christmas gift to you, remember to give me a five-star review~!"
"A...Christmas gift for me?"
Sakaki was stunned for a long time and looked down.
That was a group photo.
Everyone was shocked to death.
But everyone's face was filled with smiles.
Looking at the young man in the red and white hat, Sakaki unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.
Immediately, he fell into silence.
It was a red-haired boy with gloomy eyes, just like himself when he was young.
Sakaki gently stroked the photo with his big hand and let out a long breath.
He made a call and gave it to the real bird who was eating barbecue.
"Um...boss, what's going on?"
"I heard that he is preparing for the Kanto Tournament."
Sakaki said, "Give the spare Tokiwa badge to that boy Rikuno..."
"Also... give him "The Mystery of the Earth" as well."
The real bird was shocked for a long time, and then he finally said:
"My subordinate understands."
"The Mystery of the Earth" is the fruit of Sakaki-sama's lifelong efforts.
Just like that, gave it to Teacher Lu easily?
It seems that Teacher Lu's status is more important than I thought...
In a quiet and silent room.
Sakaki suddenly smiled.
I, Sakaki, have never owed anything to anyone in my life, except...
Sakaki shook his head and murmured:
"Teacher, this is my return gift. I hope you are satisfied..."
