Chapter 85 Extra 1 Halloween
Couples in the honeymoon period are probably all very sticky.
Early in the morning, Tong Wanwan sneaked into the kitchen, tinkering with something.
"Wanwan, what are you doing?"
A slightly hoarse voice echoed in Tong Wanwan's ears, followed by a hug that completely engulfed her. The man's scent was pleasant, a clean, fresh fragrance. Tong Wanwan unconsciously leaned back, tilted her head, and gently sniffed her boyfriend's neck.
This scent... was obviously the scent of the shower gel she had bought and tried last night.
With so many bottles and jars, did Mr. Marshal try them all and find one that tasted the same as hers?
"I'm making a pumpkin lantern." Tong Wanwan handed the pumpkin she had just carved to Elvis. "Do you remember what festival tomorrow is?"
"Remember."
The girlfriend who was handing him something broke away from his embrace.
Elvis frowned slightly, then leaned closer and pressed himself against her intimately.
"You told me that tomorrow is Halloween on Ancient Earth, and today is Halloween Eve. We need to make lanterns and candies and wait for Savannah and Daya to come over to receive their gifts."
Did you really remember it? Tong Wanwan smiled and pressed his face, pushing him away a little more, somewhat unable to resist, and coaxed, "Marshal Elvis is really amazing. It would be even more amazing if you could help your busy girlfriend make a few more pumpkin lanterns."
Ives raised an eyebrow, feeling very satisfied with his hair being stroked: "How to do it? I'll do it all for you."
"Okay, then watch me make one," Tong Wanwan said, picking out a new pumpkin from the pile. She explained and demonstrated to him, "Look, first, open the pumpkin's head. Use a spoon to scoop out the flesh inside, then draw the expression... Make it fierce! After that, carve out the outline with a carving knife, remove any remaining pieces, and finally, put the candle in."
In this world, pumpkins and candles aren't cheap. The candles, in particular, have become precious antiques. But... she thought: Halloween, the atmosphere is the most important thing! We're celebrating at home tonight, so we have to treat it well.
"Simple." Mr. Marshal rolled up his sleeves confidently. His forearm muscles were firm and smooth, and his finger joints were distinct.
The silver-haired man buried in the kitchen was extremely serious, holding the carving knife in his hand and carving bit by bit attentively. It looked more like the expression he would have when he was sitting in an office reviewing documents rather than making a pumpkin lantern.
“…” Tong Wanwan was stunned, and her eyes softened.
Her boyfriend is really handsome and cute.
Ives was making jack-o'-lanterns and she was making candy.
The sweet aroma of candy slowly spreads, lingers, and interweaves in the kitchen where only two people are.
Two hours later.
"Wanwan, I'm almost done with the last one." Elvis said.
"Really?" Tong Wanwan leaned over from behind him to take a look. Sure enough, the pumpkins piled to the side had been arranged one by one, each with a perfectly carved devil expression, and candles and candle trays inside.
At this moment, Elvis is doing the final job - putting the candle into the last pumpkin lantern.
Tong Wanwan suddenly reached out and hugged him tightly from behind.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Elvis paused.
"Didn't we agree that you don't have to thank me..."
Before he could finish the rest of his words, the girl leaned over with smiling eyes, stars dancing in her eyes.
She stood on tiptoe, raised her head slightly, and met his gaze that was faintly longing for "praise."
Then, very lightly, she placed a kiss with a hint of sweetness on his lips.
"If you don't say thank you, then what should I say?" The girl smiled brightly and looked quite innocent.
Like an elf lost in the forest, waiting to be discovered by hunters; or like a mermaid in the sea, tempting sailors to abandon their ships and jump off...
Elvis rolled his Adam's apple, unable to help but follow the sweet taste, and asked for another kiss.
"It's fine just like it is now."
"No thanks, but a kiss?"
"Um."
"...Well, I understand." Tong Wanwan tried hard to suppress the smile that was rising on her lips. She felt that he was worthy of being the Marshal. Even his way of acting coquettishly was so special and cute.
"By the way, Mr. Marshal," Tong Wanwan suddenly became playful and asked, "Do you remember what you were going to say on Halloween?"
In ancient Earth, on the night before Halloween, children would knock on the doors of houses that had already lit pumpkin lanterns and ask for candy by saying "trick or treat." However, she didn't tell Ivis that this was something only children would say and do.
What to say on Halloween?
Of course he knows.
He listened carefully to every word Wanwan said and kept it in mind.
Ivis buried his head in her neck, just like when he was a white lion cub, and rubbed it affectionately before raising his head again.
“Trick or treat.”
"That's right!"
"There's a reward~" Tong Wanwan smiled, her eyebrows curved. "Open your mouth."
As soon as the words fell, the man opened his lips without hesitation. When facing a girl, the Marshal's body always reacted faster than his brain.
The next second, he felt a small hard candy being fed into his mouth.
I licked it with my tongue, and the sour and sweet taste spread across my taste buds.
“Happy Halloween!”
His girlfriend was laughing happily, like a child who had succeeded in a prank.
As he watched, Elvis' heart began to stir.
He suddenly propped his arms on the kitchen cabinet, and with one hand, he grasped the girl's waist, holding her tightly in his arms. His golden eyes were bright, as if they were sparkling with stars.
Elvis's eyes darkened slightly: "What does this candy taste like? It's so sweet."
Tong Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "It's sweet? Isn't it lemony?"
Her boyfriend, Elvis, is not used to eating overly sweet food and desserts.
Therefore, she divided the finished candies into two baskets: one basket of sweet soft candies that suited Daya and the others' tastes, and a small basket of fruit hard candies for Eli, Tracy, and Lily.
She picked it up casually, it should be from that small basket.
This candy... should be very sour. Did she take the wrong one?
"I don't know." The silver-haired marshal lowered his head and acted like a spoiled child in his own special way. "Wanwan, give me a taste."
“Eh?” Help him...taste it?
Before she could come to her senses, a kiss with the flavor of lemon fructose suddenly sealed the doubts that were on her lips and had not yet been expressed.
A long, long time passed.
"Is it a lemon?"
"……Um."
For some reason, both of them started blushing.
"Is it sour?"
"Mmm, sweet."
Tong Wanwan played a prank and Elvis responded with one, so they were even.
"Happy Halloween."
"Happy Halloween~"
This year's Halloween has a sweet lemon flavor.
Happy Halloween, babies~
