The main dish that night was dumplings. Xia Yixin secretly took out the fresh pork that she had previously stored away from her storage ring. Xia's mother was very selfless, and she shared the things that Guo Miaomiao had hidden in the emerald necklace space.
Snowflakes are falling outside.
Inside the house, Xia Yixin and her mother were making dumplings together, while Xia's father was playing chess with Lu Yan outside. Anyway, Black Panther's tail was quite lively.
Before the dumplings could even be cooked, guests arrived from outside.
The first to arrive were Hong Meng and his daughter Hong Feng, who brought groceries they had bought. Since it was just the two of them tonight, they felt that the cafeteria would be too crowded, so they decided to buy groceries and come to Xia Yixin's place instead.
It seemed that the single members or those with young children from the other three teams and the Ark team had all come to their small apartment with their finished or semi-finished products, as if by prior arrangement. Luckily, the living room they had chosen was large, otherwise more than ten people would not have been able to fit in.
By the time Xia Yixin had finally finished preparing a large table of dishes, the two little girls, who were only three years old, had already stepped on the black panther's head and started braiding his hair. Meanwhile, the people around them looked like they were playing cards, but in reality, they were trying so hard not to laugh that they were internally injured.
I didn't have a chance to see how he takes care of children when he was with Xia Mingyu, but seeing that Lu Yan didn't even get to eat a single dumpling that night because his two daughters had braided his head full of little pigtails, I could tell that he would definitely be a "daughter slave" in the future.
However, Xia Yixin secretly left a plate of uneaten dumplings in the freezer, intending to give them to Lu Yan tomorrow.
That night, everyone was amazed by Xia Yixin's cooking and almost got into a fight over the last dumpling. Someone from the Ark team brought a bottle of vodka, and Hongfeng from Team Three brought two bottles of Wuliangye liquor, along with several cases of other alcohol. Everyone got thoroughly drunk.
During the meal, some even confessed their feelings while drunk.
One of the male members of Team Three has taken a liking to a newly joined female member of Team Ark. In the post-apocalyptic world, there are actually quite a few couples in the base who have been brought together by this. Perhaps, having faced death and crisis, people are more inclined to rely on each other.
The male members of the third team confessed their feelings while drunk, and the blonde, blue-eyed beauty immediately agreed, instantly bringing the banquet to a climax.
"Kiss! Kiss!" Everyone cheered, drunkenly.
The blonde, blue-eyed female team member was quite bold; she directly pressed down on the male team member from Team Three and kissed him, which drew cheers and laughter from the young people at the banquet. Someone brought up the topic of Xia Yixin and Lu Yan, and muttered something.
"If our Commander Lu were in human form, we'd probably be eating even more dog food tonight."
The person who spoke was immediately slapped on the forehead by Mark, who chuckled awkwardly, "He's drunk, he's drunk, hahaha."
Others chimed in with their comments, but Xia Yixin didn't respond. She just felt that the wine in her mouth tasted a little different, and seeing the newlywed couple being all lovey-dovey, she felt a little envious.
To suppress the feeling, she drank several cups in one go, and accidentally grabbed the wrong cup. One sip of Wuliangye liquor made her feel dizzy immediately after the spiciness.
While she was inwardly cursing her bad luck, she didn't notice that the black panther, who was being "bullied," kept his eyes on her the whole time.
Lu Yan was actually more frustrated than she was.
He never thought hugging and kissing was anything special before; it was just something that happened naturally when the feelings were strong. But now, he has the desire but no conditions, and given his current physique, it's simply impossible.
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. To make matters worse, he couldn't get drunk. However, he could tell at a glance that a certain woman cared about him too, which left him with mixed feelings.
Late at night.
So drunk was Hong Feng that she started kissing whoever she could grab. Just as she was about to press Xia Yixin down to kiss her, Lu Yan, who had the blood of the Bai family and could drink as much as he wanted without getting drunk, simply used his tail to grab Xia Yixin and carry her away.
Lu Yan arranged for someone to take the last few drunkards back home one by one. Xia's parents also went to bed early, and the mess in the living room could only be cleaned up the next morning.
Cats are said to be fluid creatures, and so are leopards. He easily carried the tipsy little woman into her pink bedroom, and just as he put her on the bed, his tail was suddenly grabbed.
"Lu Yan...you didn't get to eat dumplings tonight, I'll stand here and make some for you..." Xia Yixin was completely drunk, her head was spinning, she couldn't see anything in front of her, and could only grab onto things instinctively.
Lu Yan knew she was drunk, so he pressed the flushed woman back down and said, "I'm not hungry, go to sleep and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, she became very difficult after getting drunk, turning over and trying to get up, saying, "No, I want it now, you, you haven't made your dumplings yet..."
As Xia Yixin spoke, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears, as if she had remembered something.
Lu Yan panicked immediately. Just as he was about to go along with her and make dumplings in the middle of the night, she suddenly hugged him.
"Lu Yan, actually I was a little bit envious today, but please don't overthink it, just a little bit..."
The alcohol stirred up her unease, as well as her willfulness and audacity.
the next day.
Xia Yixin clutched her throbbing head, feeling a bit dazed. All she could remember for the moment was the scene of her drinking her second glass of wine last night. And then what?
Gradually, some images appeared in her mind, and her face instantly turned red. Last night, she pestered him with many ambiguous sweet words and even cried. In order to comfort her, he actually... went too far!
At that moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.
It's Xia's mother.
She scolded, "I was just about to call you. You little rascal, you slept until noon after drinking. Get up quickly, Xiao Lu has already brought you lunch, and he also saved breakfast for you. Hurry up and change your clothes to come and eat."
This guy still dares to keep going right here!
She gave a perfunctory reply and ran quickly to the bathroom, only letting out a sigh of relief after closing the bathroom door.
Lu Yan, that beast... wait, it seems he is a beast right now.
She lingered in the bathroom for a while before going to the living room, where the black panther next to the sofa immediately stood up, its golden eyes smiling.
Although he used to sneak out at night, he always behaved himself. But last night he discovered the excellent effects of the golden spiritual power.
Xia Yixin glared at him fiercely, but just then, Xia's mother found frozen dumplings while cleaning the refrigerator.
Xia's mother smiled and said, "I was wondering why it seemed like we hadn't made enough yesterday, even though we made quite a lot. Yixin, when did you hide it? There's not enough for us at all."
It was Xia's father who saw through it all: "I vaguely remember hearing the girl say last night that she wanted to make dumplings for Xiao Lu. I thought she was just talking nonsense."
"Tsk tsk tsk, daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up."
"Mom and Dad!" Xia Yixin blushed again.
The black panther, on the other hand, wagged its tail happily, waiting to be fed.
