Five minutes later, there was one more person in the villa.
Because Wan Ci lives alone, he has naturally studied cooking skills. Although he is not as good as Mu Qianse, who has a side job as a cook, he is still much better than Bai Zhi.
With the other party's participation, Bai Zhi's plan to make dumplings, which had been blocked midway, made progress again. Originally, Bai Zhi wanted to help, but the other party declined with a smile.
In the end, he was pulled into the courtyard by Anna and had a snowball fight...
—No one can refuse the request of a blonde loli who holds your hand and looks at you pitifully.
Then by coincidence, as if they had made an appointment in advance, about ten minutes later, the deceased Ling and Hu Lingmeng came to the door together.
"... I have a day off today, so I stopped by."
After a period of silence, under the stern eyes of his best friend beside him, the deceased Ling began to speak.
“On the way…”
Listening to the other party's still quite lame excuse, Bai Zhi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
He has a sea view villa located in the middle of the mountain. It is at least half an hour's drive from the city. Is there any situation where he can stop by here
"We have nowhere to go on New Year's Eve, so we can come over and have a meal. Is that okay?"
Wu Lingmeng, who covered his forehead and sighed, couldn't stand it anymore, stepped forward and took over the topic.
"Uh... no problem, I'm just making dumplings here..."
After glancing at the white-haired girl in front of him, Bai Zhi looked away with some guilt.
"Wait, what are you feeling guilty about?"
Clearly aware of something amiss, Hui Lingmeng looked suspicious as he looked at Bai Zhi who turned his head in front of him.
She didn't know what was going on, but when the other person's eyes swept over her body, she inexplicably had the illusion that her whole body was being seen through.
"Ahem... Q. Does Lingmeng sell it?"
After coughing a few times, Bai Zhi spoke seriously.
"I've wanted to say this for a long time. I want to give you something else in exchange for Q Reimu. Do you think that's okay?"
"impossible!!"
The misfortune spirit refused without even dreaming of it.
"How many times have I told you, that's my clone!! Will you take your clone and sell it everywhere!?"
"Then take out a few and play with me... No, just play with Qingyi and the others, okay?"
Under the other's perverted gaze, Bai Zhi realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly changed his words.
"Absolutely impossible!!"
Wu Lingmeng made a cross gesture with his hands in front of him, with a determined look on his face.
"Who knows what kind of *** you poured into my Q Lingmeng, so I just like to crawl on you... You didn't really use any skills to seduce Q Lingmeng, did you?"
"You think too much."
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi got out of the way.
"There are melon seeds, peanuts, fruits and various snacks in the living room. You can pick some for yourself."
"..."
Looking at his best friend walking in front of him, the deceased Zero's eyes were dark.
- Just like that, two more people were added to Bai Zhi's villa.
Perhaps because it was New Year's Eve, although the two deceased Ling and Wan Ci still seemed to be in a state of tension, there was no attack at all.
Wan Ci rolled up her sleeves and was kneading the dough to roll out the dumpling skins. The deceased Ling was sitting upright on the sofa. There was about a couch in the middle between them. There seemed to be a faint light of fire between their eyes. Flashing.
As for Lingmeng... she's in the middle.
To be honest, Bai Zhi gave her a surprise in terms of snacks.
Although she said she likes to eat snacks, she is actually very picky. She basically only eats a few brands, so in the beginning, she actually didn’t care about the snacks in someone’s mouth. hopefully.
But now...
"...How does that guy know that I like to eat these?"
Sitting cross-legged on the sofa while happily eating snacks, Wu Lingmeng was puzzled.
"Xiaoqiu told him? That's strange..."
Because she was too thinking about this kind of thing, she didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the scene. She huddled on the soft sofa like a lazy kitten.
The atmosphere in the entire living room is quite harmonious.
As for a certain pink-haired girl... Because her identity is too sensitive, she will generally not appear when other outsiders are around.
So basically, she would only appear in front of Bai Zhi and the three lolita.
… … … … … … … … … …
Ever since Wan Ci, Zero Dead, Huo Lingmeng and the others came to his door one after another, Bai Zhi had some premonitions in his heart, so he guessed in his mind who the next person would be.
But he never thought that the next person to come would be the other party...
"Well… "
"Uh what? Why, aren't you happy to see me here?"
Pouting his lips, Yan Huo Fengyue got off the BMW with an unhappy look on his face.
"No, I'm just curious as to why you are allowed to go on the road."
Bai Zhi answered with Xu eyes looking at the white horse without any hair on the side of the road.
"According to the rules recently announced by the relevant departments, things like this should not be allowed on the road."
"Why can't horses be raced on the road? You are discriminating."
With a slight snort in his mouth, Yanhuo Fengyue, who was obviously well-dressed, bypassed Bai Zhi and walked towards the villa.
"Xia Wen and the others have gone back. There should be no one at your side, right? And you can't cook, so it's just right. Why don't you take Qingyi and the others to my side..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Yanhuo Fengyue, who stepped into the living room with his front feet, suddenly fell into silence.
—In the living room, Wan Ci, Dead Ling, and Huo Ling Meng all looked towards him in unison.
Fireworks and Fengyue: "..."
A few minutes later, a certain majesty covered his face and sat next to Huiling Meng.
"Um... do you want something to eat?"
Looking at Yanhuo Fengyue sitting next to him, after thinking about it for a while, Wu Lingmeng handed over a bag of beef jerky with some sympathy.
To be honest, she didn't have much interaction with him, and her understanding was limited to the deviant young lady, the president of the Big Bird Club, and so on.
But she didn't know why, but when she saw the other person, she always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity in her heart.
And coincidentally, not only towards the other party, she also has the same view towards a certain guy who is always evil and wants to buy her Q Reimu... This is very weird.
-This feeling did not exist in the past.
The only thing that can be found in common between the two of them is probably that they just returned from the Tomb of the World some time ago.
… Tomb of the World
Throwing a piece of beef jerky into his mouth, Wu Lingmeng looked thoughtful.
There is strength in numbers, and the flames are high when everyone adds firewood. This saying has some truth to it.
But just when Bai Zhi and the others gathered around and started making dumplings, the three lolita gathered together secretly for some unknown reason and discussed a big plan...
The current time is noon.
It had been snowing heavily all night, but it started to snow quietly again at this time.
In Bai Zhi's villa, eight (nine) people gathered together happily.
To be honest, Bai Zhi never expected such a situation before.
But if you think about it carefully, it seems natural
Wan Ci himself lives alone. Due to family circumstances, it is normal for the other party to choose to come over.
As for the deceased Ling and Hu Lingmeng, it was a good thing that they could have such a half-day vacation. After all, their families were not around and they had nowhere to go at this time of year.
As for Yanhuo Fengyue... She originally wanted to come here to pack up Bai Zhi and the others and take them back.
It's good to have more people and be lively, but when there are more people, the preparations Bai Zhi made before are no longer enough.
So as a last resort, Bai Zhi had no choice but to go to the restaurant in Shadow World and reluctantly packed up a more sumptuous banquet.
Fireworks, Wind and Moon, she had already had lunch, but whether it was him, a few lolita, or Wanci, Zero Calamity Reimu and the others, they didn't eat anything at noon.
Overall, this meal was a feast for both the host and the guest.
In the afternoon, Bai Zhi became even busier.
Write couplets, post couplets, clean, decorate the room... and so on.
Although there is no need for him to be so busy with the shadow guard, but still, life requires a sense of ritual.
Normally, it's okay, but in this special season, if you don't do it yourself, there will be no soul after all.
And besides, cleaning together with the help of Qingyi Anna Hitomi and the others is a very fulfilling thing.
Of course, there are a few more people now.
Even Yanhuo Fengyue has no intention of leaving. It seems that she has made up her mind to stay here and have a meal of dumplings...
"Well… "
When Bai Zhi reached the second floor, he saw the school beauty who had already returned home walking out of her room.
At that moment, he couldn't help but feel slightly stunned.
A second later, he reacted quickly and subconsciously moved his eyes downwards...
"What are you looking at?"
Lin Xiaoyi quickly moved his hands in front of him, and his face turned red as he reacted.
"Ahem, it's nothing."
Reaching out and touching his nose, Bai Zhi coughed a few times.
"Didn't you go home? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
“…Happy New Year’s Eve!!”
After putting a carefully decorated small box in his hand, the school beauty turned around and ran into her room as if running away.
In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared behind the door.
—She originally just wanted to secretly put the gift she prepared on someone's table.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Happy time always passes very quickly.
After an afternoon of cleaning and setting up, in the blink of an eye it was evening.
After symbolically placing a few firecrackers at the door, Bai Zhi and his group gathered around the table and ate dumplings happily.
Suddenly, with the sound of "clang", Anna happily spit out a coin, and then, Qingyi and Hitomi also spit out a coin.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Bai Zhi's face.
And at this moment, with the three sounds of "Dang Cang", "Dang Cang", "Dang Cang", a certain bird that had swallowed three dumplings in one breath majestically spit out three coins in one breath...
Bai Zhi: "???"
-This is not the end, just the beginning.
Immediately after, Wan Ci, Dead Zero, Wu Lingmeng and the others also silently spit out a coin from their mouths...
On the night of New Year's Eve, everyone collectively spit out money, like the mythical beast Pixiu.
"..."
Putting down the chopsticks in their hands, everyone turned their heads in silence and looked at Bai Zhi, who was starting to sweat on his forehead.
