January 28th.
The third day of the first lunar month.
Tianhai City, Dynasty Villa District, Dynasty No. 1.
On the fifth floor of the main villa, half of the roof is exposed to the terrace.
Standing in front of the Roman column railing at the edge, Levi, wearing loose and thick pajamas, crossed his arms over his chest, staring at the scenery in front of him in a daze.
The cold winter wind blew across his face and into his neck through the collar.
The perceived temperature of three or four degrees Celsius made his face turn pale and blue.
Even though he was in good health, this kind of environment made him feel uncomfortable. The head maid Mary reminded him several times to go inside and rest.
But he felt that this feeling was just right. At least, it could calm his mind and freeze his thoughts, so that he would not think about too many things and would have fewer worries.
Quiet.
It's been very quiet these days.
Because the annual Spring Festival is here again, most of the migrant workers who make up about one-third of Tianhai City’s population have returned home to celebrate the New Year. The originally bustling streets have suddenly become empty, and most of the shops are closed. It is very deserted.
There is finally no traffic jam on the road.
Most of the noise from various human activities disappeared.
The lively protagonists have been replaced by remote villages or third-, fourth- and fifth-tier cities... This festival belongs to them.
To be honest, Levi's favorite days of the year are these few days. There is no noise and it is very quiet. It's like the oxygen content in the water has increased, and he can breathe freely without the feeling of being overwhelmed and suffocated by the soil.
A king must be aloof, that's exactly what it feels like.
But occasionally, he would look up at the sky above his head, and a hint of helplessness and frustration would inadvertently reveal in his pair of dark starry eyes.
A sense of loneliness will also emerge in my heart.
Yes, he is also a human being, and he has emotions. In his fifth year on this planet, he misses those things that are very far away from him more and more.
For example, the Death Fleet.
Such as Dark Empire.
The longer he lost these things, the more frustrated he felt.
Of course, he is working hard now. He is trying to regain what he has lost.
Simply deleting your account and starting over from scratch will always be far inferior to having a warehouse full of awesome gear and a hand full of king bombs.
The process of gradually accumulating gains is exciting and happy for others, but for him, it can only be pain and suffering... It's all because he once had it.
“Hey~”
Sighed softly.
There is no good way, just hold on, the situation will gradually improve.
At this time.
Levi noticed that the gate at the entrance of the villa opened and a black car drove in.
"Your Majesty, Miss Yumo and her parents have arrived. Your Majesty, please change into something more formal to receive the guests." The voice of butler Bowen sounded behind him.
"knew."
Levi nodded, turned around and went back into the house. With the help of the maid Mary, he quickly changed into a more formal casual outfit.
…
Ji Yumo is back.
And she was not the only one who came back, she also brought her parents Ji Xingguo and Gong Xiujuan with her.
The reason was that it was Chinese New Year, and every family was reunited, but only Brother Levi, along with the butler Bowen, a group of bodyguards, maids and chefs, stayed in the villa, which was too lonely and deserted.
So during this year's Spring Festival, Ji Yumo and his family first quickly visited all their relatives, then bought a few high-speed rail tickets and boarded the train to Tianhai City. The three of them came to Tianhai to spend the New Year with Levi.
Levi did not refuse Ji Yumo's plan. After all, his family came from afar to spend the New Year with him, bringing local gifts and specialties to add some human warmth to his originally lonely Spring Festival. Did he really want him to reject it coldly?
"Brother Livi, this is our fermented fish. My mom made it herself. It's spicy and numbing, and it's delicious."
"These are the old-fashioned warm shoes we have over there. They may look a bit rustic, but they are very warm and comfortable to wear. You can try them on and I guarantee they are very good."
"This knitted scarf is a bit ugly and not very well knitted, but this is my first time knitting this and I've pricked my fingers many times. Brother Levi, please don't throw it away. I promise I can knit a better one next time!"
The girl, no, it should be considered a mature lady, nervously handed over a loose and irregularly shaped scarf, lowered her head slightly, and was really worried that it would be thrown away by the picky man. After all, it was the result of more than a month's hard work of her. The quality and appearance were certainly far inferior to those high-quality scarves mass-produced by machines, but at least it was full of her thoughts.
On the side, Ji Yumo's parents, Ji Xingguo and Gong Xiujuan, were also watching this scene with trepidation, a little worried that Levi would not like the scarf. Gong Xiujuan was even a little dissatisfied: this silly daughter, she refused to accept the scarf even though I offered to help her, and insisted on giving her a novice's work. If she was rejected, she should not be depressed and sad. Rich people need to be decent and well-dressed. How can people put their dignity in this scarf of yours?
"The scarf is nice, thanks."
Levi reached out to take it and nodded lightly.
He felt the thoughtfulness, but he was not afraid of the cold and did not need a scarf, so he could just lie in the closet.
Ji Yumo and her parents all breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Although they were tired from the long journey, Gong Xiujuan prepared dinner and showed off her cooking skills. She also used the ingredients she brought with her to make several special dishes from Chunyu City. After tasting a few bites of each, Levi gave them a high evaluation.
