Chapter 72
Chapter 84 Maybe it’s the same as hearing that school started early...
"Damn it, so many people bought this thing?!"
In a restaurant by the window, Hongli slumped in her seat, looking at two bags of bitter melon-flavored biscuits on the table, rubbing her brows to confirm that she had bought them correctly, and stuffed them into her storage bag.
Originally, she thought that for weird little snacks like this, she should look for them in remote shops, or go to the corners of large stores with a wide range of varieties.
I searched around but couldn't find it. When I came back and walked to the best-selling products shelf, I suddenly found that the bitter melon-flavored biscuits were neatly arranged there.
"Am I not keeping up with the times?"
Hongli sighed: "It turns out that I am already old..."
"Mom, stop complaining now."
Xiao Huo jumped up and down on the menu: "Order, order!"
"Ah, just watch it."
Hong Li waved her hand: "No wine, no animal offal, no greasy food, whatever you want with the rest..."
"Ah, good."
Xiaohuo lowered his head and continued to look through the menu, thinking hard.
"I have been busy all morning, and finally I bought all the things for my aunt and Xingyun."
Hongli sighed: "I didn't buy anything myself!"
"Then go buy it this afternoon."
Xiaohuo responded casually: "This is the first time I've seen so many people."
"Wow, one morning isn't enough? I need another afternoon!"
Hong Li's eyes widened: "Just kill me, mom, if you can tire me to death!"
"What should we do?"
Xiaohuo still didn't raise his head, but concentrated on studying the menu: "Mom, aren't you going to buy those things?"
"Ah...it doesn't matter..."
Hong Li looked lazily: "Things like that aren't very important anyway.
Just like those tableware and the like, if I bought them, I would probably just put them at home to gather dust. After all, I am too lazy to cook by myself.
There are also flying pigeons in the snow mountains, this and that, it sounds very troublesome, why did I write about that stuff at the time..."
In addition to eating, she initially wanted to go to the bookstore to see if there were any new novels she had not read yet, but when she thought that there were comics waiting for her, she instantly lost interest.
At least wait until she finishes reading those comics before finding new novels to read.
Although the illusion trial was very difficult, Hongli felt that she could break it by doing it a few more times!
The key point is that the illusion is so false that it can only be seen but not touched...
Ahem, in short, the comics are already in her possession. It is a beautiful thing to regain more lost ones!
To put it bluntly, she just didn't want to move anymore. It was a lie that she felt energetic in the morning. After taking two steps, she was instantly back to reality.
We might as well rest in this restaurant until night, just like before, with Hei...
Hong Li suddenly reacted. Looking at the empty seats in front of her, she felt a little empty in her heart...
[Hongli: Black Yang? 】
[Heiyang: Uh-huh, what's wrong? 】
Damn, what’s wrong? I miss you so much. Is it okay to say this? !
Hongli curled her lips, a little depressed.
[Hongli: What are you doing? 】
[Hei Yang: Let’s eat. What else can I do for dinner? 】
[Heiyang: [Picture] Want a bite? 】
[Hongli: Come on, I’ll chew your head raw in the rice! 】
Looking at the picture, there are a bunch of smiling Hei family members surrounding Heiyang's dining table, and there are a few dolls chasing and playing behind them. Even if she can't hear the sound, Hongli can feel the excitement there.
On the other hand, although it was equally noisy on her side, she felt isolated from the world, and that feeling of being unaccompanied was a bit suffocating.
She is not the kind of person who likes liveliness, but now she feels a deep sense of loneliness. Subconsciously, she wants to cry...
I don’t know why, I’m just unhappy…
[Hongli: Can you turn on the video over there? 】
[Hei Yang: Wait for me five seconds and I will eat these two mouthfuls of rice! 】
[Your contract partner (Hei Yang) sent a video invitation, do you want to accept it...]
"accept!"
"Can you see it? Can you see it?"
Hei Yang ran out of the house at some point, jumped to the top of an attic, and sat on the edge of the building, with the blue sky behind him: "Hongli? Hongli? Please answer when you receive it!"
"Ah, I saw it."
Hongli lay on the table, staring at Hei Yang's face, subconsciously trying to smile, but feeling something was wrong, she pulled the corner of her mouth down again: "You are still in the capital, and you have no plans to go back?"
"It's coming soon, about a week at the latest."
Hei Yang looked into the distance and shook his head: "I will leave in a week at the latest. This city is very good, but I am not used to it."
"Hey, hypocritical."
Hong Li rolled her eyes: "You said something about scheming before, what's going on?"
"Ah, it's a small matter, there's nothing to say."
Hei Yang waved his hand casually: "Don't worry about it."
"real or fake?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Aren't you lying to people now?"
"This time it's true!"
"Oh, then I believe it... Oh, wait, my food is here."
Hongli saw that Xiao Huo had not only ordered the dishes, but the shop owner had also brought them to her respectfully. She moved her neck and moved her head away from the table.
Different from the Five Elements Sect where spiritual stones are required for meals, in the taverns opened by mortals outside, all payment is made with worldly goods.
She was poor in the sect, but outside she was still the young lady of the Hong family. Anyway, she didn't have to worry about eating.
She moved her chopsticks, but didn't pick up much food. She watched Xiaohuo beside her trying to hold the chopsticks with her claws and wings, but finally gave up and put it directly into her mouth.
If it were someone else, she would definitely be laughed at, but Xiaohuo's appearance attracted the eyes of the people around her from time to time, and they all smiled, probably because they were touched by cuteness.
In fact, living in the Five Elements City, the residents here have seen many disciples of the Five Elements Sect and various spirit beasts, but it is the first time for them to see a little crane like Xiaohuo who was born not long ago.
Hongli thought about it casually and knew what those people thought. She also thought that this kind of Xiaohuo that could be grasped was very cute, but children will grow up after all, and I am afraid that Xiaohuo will grow bigger than her in a while.
Thinking that she would not be able to rub Xiaohuo like this by then, Hongli suddenly felt a sense of loss in her heart.
She doesn’t know what’s wrong with her recently. She’s always so anxious and worried, and feels like she’s not herself.
"Hey, Xiaoli?"
Heiyang's somewhat puzzled voice came: "Why do you look a little unhappy? What's wrong, did you lose a fight?"
"Oh, I'm so happy."
Hongli said stubbornly: "Look at me, look how happy I am laughing, hahaha, very happy!"
Heiyang: "..."
"Okay, okay, I'm a little depressed."
Hongli muttered softly: "I don't know what's going on, maybe it's because of the climate and water."
"I guess it's possible."
Heiyang frowned and thought: "You can't even get excited to scold me, the situation is a bit serious!"
"Are you sick? Do you like being scolded?!"
Hongli couldn't help but lower her voice and scolded: "If I wasn't outside now, I would scold you to tears, the kind that makes you cry and call for your mother!"
"Yes, yes, you are right."
"Don't be sarcastic to me!"
"Okay then."
Heiyang's mind moved, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "By the way, I want to tell you something . "
"What's the matter?"
Hong Li turned her head curiously: "Let me guess, you want to ask me what gift I will give you for your birthday this year?
Come on, my good brother, your birthday is almost a month away, you are asking now?"
"Ah, this...what you said..."
Hei Yang was stunned for a moment: "It is indeed a matter, so what are you going to give me?"
"Can I give you two slaps?"
Hong Li said unhappily: "So since you are not asking about birthdays, what do you want to say?
Don't ask me what gifts I like, I won't tell you that my birthday wish is to read your...diary!"
"What a deliberate indication."
Hei Yang snorted: "Actually, it's nothing big, I'm going to go to play with you in a few days, remember to pack up to welcome me!"
"Bang!"
"Chiu!"
Xiao Li Huohe was eating vigorously, and there was a loud noise next to her. She turned her head subconsciously and found that her mother had fallen to the ground without knowing why.
"Fuck, fuck, what the hell are you talking about!"
Hongli's pupils were like a typhoon and a tsunami: "How can you come here now...
No, I mean, how can you launch a surprise attack...
No, I mean... I mean..."
Chapter 85 Calm down? Calm down!
"No, I mean, I mean..."
Hongli patted the dirt on her butt, glanced at the crowd looking here, pretended to be calm and sat back in her seat, ignoring the small fire with food stuck to her beak, and said in a hurried voice.
"Why did you suddenly think of coming here? I mean, how can you come now?"
"Ah?"
Heiyang tilted his head, showing an unhappy expression on his face: "No, you don't welcome me, right?"
"No, that's not what I mean!"
Hongli quickly retorted: "I mean, why did you come just now? No, you can't come. No, it's not that you just need to come, and you don't need to come. No, can you come and not come at the same time? No, no...Ah!!!"
"Beep!"
[Your contract partner (Hongli) hung up the video call]
[Heiyang: ? ? ? ]
[Hongli: That... The signal is not good, I will contact you later! ]
[Hongli: That's it, I'm hanging up first! ]
