It's impossible to continue playing games in the evening. Jiangnan City takes the New Year's Eve dinner very seriously.
In recent years, fireworks have been banned, and the city's atmosphere has become a bit deserted. Only the huge red lanterns in front of the houses show a bit of New Year flavor.
There were also couplets, and Lu Li posted them one by one, almost in every place where they should be posted. Without their parents, they had just lived their lives how they wanted to live these years.
If we were in a slum area, there would be children making noises.
However, such a high-end community has a relatively small population, so it is naturally difficult to see children running around. Lu Xin was not allowed to do anything because of her health. She could only sit on the sofa and watch her brother busy.
The three landladies all went home for the holidays, and she and her brother were the only ones at home.
Lu Li cooked himself and put away a large table of dishes. He raised his sister and always used the worst ingredients to make the most delicious food. Now that he is rich, he will not treat himself and his sister badly.
"Brother, what should we do if we can't finish eating?" Lu Xin touched her belly and felt full before she even started eating.
In previous years, it would be nice to have two dishes during their festivals.
"Just put it in the refrigerator if you can't finish it." Lu Li had been frugal since he was a child, and Lu Li certainly couldn't just throw it away if he couldn't finish it.
"It's a pity that Sister Huanhuan and the others are not here, otherwise it would have been very lively," Lu Xin said.
"They have their own families, and of course they have to go back and spend time with them. It's not enough for you to have me, I want more fun," Lu Li put down the last plate, feeling that his sister was starting to get distracted.
"No way, it's enough that I have a brother," Lu Xin said knowingly.
"Hmph, it's good for you to know that your sister Huanhuan and the others may leave here next year, and you won't be able to see them by then," Lu Li said.
"Hey, why do people always have to be separated?" Lu Xin held her chin, looking very sad.
"It's not like we won't see each other forever, and they have nothing to do with you," Lu Li obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with the landlords leaving. He quite liked the life with only his sister hanging around in front of him.
"Brother, you are so cold-blooded. I originally hoped that you would pursue an older sister as your sister-in-law," Lu Xin puffed up her face and glared at someone angrily.
Lu Li was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his sister to have such thoughts.
"Xinxin," he said with a smile, "They are not from the same world as us. You should know what it means to be a good match."
"What about Sister Shui?" Lu Xin came over and didn't miss any of her brother's expressions.
"She... why did you mention her?" Lu Li looked confused.
"Brother, stop pretending. I know you can understand. Do you have a crush on Sister Shui? I'm your sister. You can't lie to me!" the little girl shouted.
"Okay, again, I'm not from the same world at all," Lu Li shrugged with an indifferent expression.
"Why, we are very rich now," Lu Xin was a little unconvinced. In her heart, her brother is the most powerful person in the world and is more than worthy of anyone.
"This is not a matter of money," Lu Li tried to explain to the little girl.
"Then why don't you come out and clarify and let others say that you two are a couple?" Lu Xin is not that easy to fool.
Lu Li was suffocated and didn't know what to say. He could only change the topic with his chopsticks: "Eat, eat, if you don't eat, the food will be on. Turn on the TV, it's almost time for the Spring Festival Gala."
Lu Xin stared at him for a while, and finally lowered her shoulders.
Her brother may not care as much as he shows.
"Silly girl, why are you not happy? We will get better and better. Last year, you didn't even want to go to the zoo for the more than 100 yuan ticket. When the zoo opens in a few days, my brother will take you there.
"Hey, I heard that your favorite giant panda has given birth to a cub," Lu Li comforted.
"Really? Do you really want me to watch the dumplings?" Lu Xin's emotions came and went quickly, and she immediately became happy.
Besides loving dogs, Lu Xin's favorite animal is pandas. Unfortunately, pandas cannot be kept privately. Lu Li has promised that Lu Xin can go to a pet adoption center to choose a small dog after she is completely healthy.
"Go wherever you want, and get whatever you want," Lu Li said proudly while eating.
"I want a sister-in-law," the little girl hummed.
"Eat," Lu Li glared and decided not to talk to her.
It's really a matter of not mentioning something. He really doesn't even want to mention this matter now, so how can he make any guarantee?
As for the water elf.
To say that I have no good feelings at all would be an absolute lie.
However, he also knows the gap between him and the water elves, and there are also some posts about the real-life background of the 818 water elves. Even if the real-life background is not mentioned, the Weiyu Pavilion system ranks among the top 100 guilds in the gaming circle.
There are two teams in the top ten and three in the top twenty in this competition's standings.
Such power can only be compared to established clubs and guilds like Glory City.
The Sword of Judgment was still far away, so Lu Li would not even consider the possibility of him being with the water elf.
In such a festival, both the poor and the rich actually celebrate the festival in the same way, but the decorations on the table and their moods are different.
The emperor may not use a gold toilet, but everyone has a good family.
In a quiet residential area in Jinling, in the spacious dining room, the water elf was eating quietly.
At the same table with her were her father and stepmother...
In fact, not all stepmothers are mean and vicious. Water Elf's stepmother has been married to her father for ten years. In the past ten years, although she has not treated her like her own daughter, she has at least treated her with respect.
I didn't plan to have another child, but I accidentally got pregnant this time.
Recently, the stepmother has been very cautious when facing the water elf. Now when eating, she will pick up food for her from time to time and care about her in the game and in life.
"Ahem," Water Elf's father - Water Elf's real surname is Shen, and her father's surname is naturally Shen - Mr. Shen put down his wine glass, glanced at his daughter who was eating quietly, and asked with a wooden face: "
Why didn’t you bring your in-game boyfriend home for a meal?”
"What kind of boyfriend?" The water elf is not only cold in the game, but is still the same in front of his father.
"Humph," Mr. Shen had a bad temper and wanted to get angry. His stepmother quickly held his hand and shook her head at him, with a pleading look on her face.
Father Shen felt quite guilty about his daughter because of his wife's pregnancy, and today was the New Year after all, so he suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Isn't that the one named Lu Li? I sent someone to check, and found a slum area.
The boy who came out, huh, I don’t like it very much!”
"I'm not your boyfriend. I just like my boyfriend," the water elf said in a choked voice.
In fact, she originally planned to explain that she and Lu Li were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but her relationship with her father had always been average, and recently it had been even worse, so she simply admitted it in annoyance.
