Hongli patted the dirt on her butt, glanced at the crowd who were looking here, and sat back down as if nothing had happened, ignoring the small fire of food still stuck to her beak, and said in a somewhat urgent voice.
"Why did you suddenly think of coming over? I mean, how could you come over now?"
"Ah?"
Hei Yang tilted his head, with an unhappy expression on his face: "No, you don't welcome me, do you?"
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Hongli hurriedly retorted: "I mean, why did you come? No, you can't come. That's not the case. It's okay if you come. If you don't have to come, that's okay. Can you come and not come at the same time? No, no.
…Ahhh!!!”
"Beep!"
[Your contract partner (Hongli) hung up the video call]
【Heiyang:???】
[Hongli: Well... the signal is not good, I will contact you later!]
[Hongli: That’s it, hang up first!]
[Heiyang:...]
"Uh...that..."
Xiaohuo looked at Hongli blankly and asked tentatively: "Mom?"
"It's okay, just keep eating."
Hongli waved her hand absentmindedly: "He's coming, he's coming...
Why didn't you come earlier or late, but why did you come at this time?
Forget it when you come, why do you have to tell me in advance, what is this, a countdown to death? No, I haven’t prepared anything yet!"
"Uh..."
Xiao Huo looked at the delicious food on the table, and then at her mother, whose head seemed to be smoking, and hesitated: "Well, mom, everyone next to us is looking at us!"
"Ah, don't worry about them, they're just a bunch of moving backdrops."
Hongli waved her hand impatiently: "I am facing a big crisis in my life now!"
"Ah this..."
Xiao Huo secretly looked at the people next to him, only to find that they were looking at him with surprise at first, then understanding, then envy, and finally pretending to be nonchalant, he turned his head and stopped looking here, feeling a little confused...
What is going on?
"Hey, have you seen that little girl over there? Her face is as red as blood, and there is white smoke coming from her head. Do you think she will..."
A shorter man muttered to his companions around him, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by another tall man waving his hand.
"Be careful, I am a disciple of the Fire Department of the Five Elements Sect, and you and I are not the ones who can make random guesses!"
Although this tall man is burly, he is cautious in character: "Even if a disciple of the Five Elements Sect is humble and polite, it is not something that we mortals can offend at will!"
"That's right, a disciple of the Fire Department, isn't it normal for you to blush and smoke when practicing the fire method? Look at your ignorant look!"
Another brother Ming said with disdain: "I can only say that I understand everything about this kind of thing."
"Wow, it turns out that's what cultivation is all about. It's a pity that I didn't get selected because I didn't have enough qualifications. It's really enviable..."
This is the youngest person among his companions. He also went to the mountain to seek enlightenment the year before last. Unfortunately, he was only at the second level of physical training and did not enter the eyes of the immortal. His childhood dream was shattered.
"Even if it's cultivation...but this look..."
A well-meaning person looked worried and asked: "Isn't it true that you are possessed by something crazy?"
"Look at your timid appearance. Didn't you panic when you didn't look at the other person's spiritual beast Xiao He?"
Another "wise man" pointed out the details disdainfully: "A mouthful of divine fire is held in the mouth, and the spiritual energy is steaming from the top. This is obviously a very advanced level of cultivation. That girl is a genius!"
"You know better in this regard!"
"Hey, I understand too, I just didn't say it. Everyone in the circle knows...forget it, the interests are related, let's not talk about it, drink, drink!"
"..."
"Well, they seem to be really just background panels..."
A row of black lines flashed across Xiao Huo's head. After thinking for a while, he pushed a glass of juice on the table in front of Hong Li: "Mom, drink something to calm down."
"Oh, thank you!"
Hong Li took the cup and drank it all in one gulp...Then the steam on her head became even thicker!
"Huh..."
Hongli took a long breath, with the sweetness of juice in the heat: "Thank you, Xiaohuo, I feel much calmer!"
"Why didn't I see it..."
Xiao Huo's eyes twitched: "There are signs of calmness..."
"Don't worry about those details yet!"
Hongli felt her hands shaking, no, it seemed like her whole body was trembling: "I haven't seen him for almost half a year, how should I greet him when he comes!
What clothes should I wear, what words should I say, and what gift should I give him on his birthday!"
Xiaohuo: "Ah?"
"Just like before, just say hello, you're here?"
Hongli pulled her hair a few times and shook her head: "No, this is too cold. If I have this attitude after not seeing you for half a year, he might be sad, and he might feel that I don't care about him at all. Maybe he will.
I feel like I've been left out...
Moreover, if things continue as before, there will be no progress at all. Do you want me to wait for another seventeen years?!"
Xiaohuo: "Huh?"
"Or I should pick out a nice dress, dress it up, and then when he comes over, I'll throw myself into his arms and say I miss you so much..."
Hong Li imagined that scene, her heart trembled, and she almost had a heartbeat, but she still suppressed the impulse with her strong will(?): "No way, what is this, licking a dog, that look is too much
It’s so embarrassing, how can I hold my head high in the future if you call me like that!”
Xiao Huo: "Ah?"
"No, no, no, no!"
Hong Li picked up the small fire and was about to get up and walk out: "Time is running out, we can't delay it any longer!"
"Eh, eh?"
Xiaohuo struggled for a while: "Mom, the food is not finished yet!"
"Oh, that's right!"
Hong Li sat back in her seat, picked up her chopsticks, and picked up a peanut: "Don't waste food!"
"Oh, no, what am I thinking!"
The chopsticks were slapped on the table again, and Hongli felt like she was a love brain with a negative IQ, which was completely inconsistent with her usual indifferent character!
"Fuck, you're still so indifferent at this time!"
Hongli cursed angrily, turned around and waved: "Little brother, pack it up and take it away!"
"Okay, walk slowly!"
……
"Fuck! I'll make your mouth wet!"
Hei Yang slapped his face and felt his legs were a little weak. If Hong Li hadn't hung up the video in time, he would have been unable to hold on any longer.
"Now that the big words are out, if I still can't get through it before her birthday, it won't be a shameful thing!
We must speed up the progress!"
Black Yang's eyes flashed with fire: "Don't say that after living two lifetimes, missing this girl will be an unforgettable regret even if you drink a ton of Meng Po soup.
Come on, Black Sun, we will win!"
……
"Hey, Mom, slow down, didn't you say you have a rest in the afternoon?"
"Have a rest, only the dead rest. Are you a dead crane?!"
"Ah, I don't want to die..."
"Then hurry up and prepare. Come on, whether you can be happy in this life depends on whether you can win him down!"
"This is..."
Separated by two places, Hongli and Heiyang looked at the sky at the same time, squinting at the scorching sun, but even the bright sun seemed not as blazing as the flames in their eyes: "In a war that puts your lives on the line, you must not lose.
You can only win, no tears are allowed, and in the end you can only laugh!"
