Karen woke up in surprise and shook her head quickly: "No, no, two new neighbors just happened to come visit, and he is with them in the living room."
Luke was stunned: "New neighbors? Did we disturb your conversation?"
Karen continued to shake her head: "No, please come in, you can also meet your new neighbors."
Anyway, you are like our new neighbors. It's the first time you come to our house in such a long time. You come the same number of times as new neighbors. A housewife complained in her heart and let the two people in.
Selina handed over the snacks: "I came here temporarily. These are our homemade snacks. You and Jeff can try them."
Karen thanked him with a smile, took the box, and the three of them walked to the living room together.
Entering the living room, Jeff stood up and greeted with a look of surprise: "Why is it you, Luke?"
Luke smiled and said, "Good afternoon, Jeff. I haven't chatted with you for a long time. I've been wanting to talk to you recently. I happened to get off work early today, so I came here. These two are..." His eyes moved to a man and a woman who were turning around.
Jeff was very enthusiastic and gestured with his hand: "Let me introduce them to everyone. These two are neighbors from No. 108 on the west side of the community. This one is Luke, and this one is Selina." He said to the two people who had just stood up on the sofa.
Then he smiled and introduced them to Luke and the others: "These two are our new neighbors. They just bought Meg's house. This is Tim, and this is Natalie."
Luke smiled and walked forward, took the initiative to extend his hand, and gently shook hands with the man and woman: "Welcome to Maple Street, this is a good place, especially Jeff and Karen, they are the best neighbors."
The couple smiled and exchanged a few words with him, and also shook hands with Selena behind them before sitting down.
Interestingly, both Selena and the couple extended their left hands when shaking hands.
Only Luke deliberately stretched out his right hand first, but Tim still stretched out his left hand, as if there was a small error between them.
Luke just smiled and shook hands with the couple with his left hand.
Now, the living room was filled with Tim and Natalie, their new neighbors, sitting face to face with Jeff Karen, while Luke and Selina were sitting on the sofa on the side.
As two capable detectives, Luke and the other man were of course very composed, only occasionally interrupting to chat, without showing any embarrassment at all.
But Jeff and Karen seemed to be forcing the conversation, and the topics they talked about made Luke and Selina feel awkward.
You can’t blame them for their low chatting skills, it’s just that the people they are dealing with… have a very gorgeous aura.
The two new neighbors were the long-legged lady in the white dress and her husband, at least that was how they introduced themselves.
Tim was okay. This middle-aged man was wearing a casual shirt and casual trousers. Although he was handsome, he was not eye-catching.
And Natalie, who has long legs, changed her clothes again.
The milky white knee-length skirt covered her charming thighs, but still revealed her long and slender calves.
The upper body was also a set of milky white suit, but the buttons were not buttoned, revealing the tight low-cut top underneath, and the two white pectoral muscles were clearly visible.
Luke subconsciously glanced at Selina beside him: Very good, our side is not completely at a disadvantage, at least someone's pectoral muscles are one level stronger than this one.
As they chatted, Luke heard that the Jones couple also had a very noble profession.
Tim is a travel writer, but from what he describes himself he sounds more like an adventurer.
Natalie is a food blogger who travels around the world with her husband Tim from time to time to taste delicious food and try to make local specialties.
These two people's jobs sound more prestigious than Jeff's common human resources management or Karen's interior designer.
Luke and Selina? They still call themselves freelancers.
In response, the woman in the white dress with long legs asked a few more questions: "Really? It's not my colleague, right?"
Luke smiled: "No, I'm not very good at cooking. In fact, I'm better at Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, which is less popular."
The girl in the white dress with long legs was stunned for a moment: "Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu? Tim seemed to have mentioned that." As she spoke, she glanced at her husband Tim beside her with her slender and charming eyes.
Tim, a handsome middle-aged man, laughed and said, "I've been to Brazil, but I've never been to a Jiu-Jitsu gym. Um, is it run by Japanese people?"
Luke raised his eyebrows and smiled, "If it counts as history, it should have evolved from ancient Chinese fighting techniques."
Tim, Natalie: …
Jeff, Karen: …
Luke tactfully ended this inexplicable topic and called Jeff, "Would you like to come to my Barbie Q tonight? I had a great time chatting with you last time."
Jeff groaned, nodded, and immediately shook his head: "You are too busy at work, I am afraid you don't know that the community will hold a beer festival at 6 o'clock tonight, right in my backyard. Many neighbors in the community will attend. Uh, except for you who have not been notified yet."
Luke looked at Selina.
Selina had a puzzled expression on her face: "I really haven't received this notice."
Jeff and Karen both looked embarrassed. Karen wanted to speak out more directly: "Actually, I wanted to inform you a few days ago, but Meg...she said she seldom saw you. Maybe you were too busy, so..."
Luke and Selina understood.
It was obvious that that bitch Meg was upset that Selina ignored her, so she just used this little trick to disgust the two of them.
If Luke and his friend hadn't decided to come here today, they would have missed a lot of neighborhood gatherings in the future. That's really... happy.
But whether to attend the party is their business, and Meg's tricks are really annoying.
Luke laughed and said, "That's fine. Let's join in. Are there any requirements? Like bringing your own beer or something."
Jeff laughed. "No, no, no, the beer for the party is provided by me. I brewed it myself. You can come and try it. I guarantee it tastes great. If possible, Selina can make one or two of her signature dishes, or some snacks. For example, the small cake just now is very good."
Selena: Wth! (What the hell) I'll go get you some of my favorite dishes. How about some pickled cabbage noodles? Just add some hot water and you can eat it. I can wholesale a few boxes for you.
Luke smiled and nodded: "No problem, we will go back and prepare later."
Natalie interrupted, "This beer festival is interesting. Can we join in?"
Jeff nodded repeatedly: "Of course, you are neighbors too, of course you can join us, the party is in my backyard anyway."
Luke watched the two talk for a few more words, then stood up and said, "Jeff, Karen, Selina has to go back to prepare the special dishes. It's already five o'clock. If we're any later, we might not be able to make it. We'll come directly over later."
