Chapter 278: It's always there

Li Jie's stomach was very uncomfortable, because he drank so many carbonated drinks with the Black Bolt King, which made his entire stomach feel like acid reflux. It's like being gently licked by a tongue of fire.

So the dinner prepared by Li Jie tonight was very simple. To be precise, Li Jie's meal was prepared by Lan. Carrots, sweet corn stewed pork ribs, steamed meatloaf and boiled lettuce with a little oil. It's okay for Li Jie to eat this kind of food himself, and use it to entertain Peter, Gwen and Katie forget it. None of them like this food.

So the cardboard box that Li Jie was holding contained some ingredients and prepared dinner food for them. Because of the discomfort of the stomach, Li Jie is really not in the mood to make it very complicated. So he simply made a grilled pizza and fried chicken. This food is relatively simple to make, and it also meets the tastes of young people.

At the dinner table, Lee, Arashi, Katie, Peter, and Gwen sat at the long table (Strange went out to rest, Thor went out to find Strange, and Sif went out to find Thor).

"So, you're welcome. Let's start eating. Li Jie motioned for everyone else at the table to start eating. His stomach was very upset, and he wanted to drink a sip of hot soup.

Lan's pork rib soup had been simmering for two hours, and she now knew that the ribs needed to be blanched once, so that the soup would be free of blood foam and taste more sweet and fishy.

Because it is stewed in a small casserole, the pork ribs corn and carrot soup has a good and strong flavor, but the amount is very small. These things are only enough for Li Jie to eat alone. The tulips that Li Jie bought home had been inserted into the vase at the entrance of the door.

Lee Kit's cheese pizza is full of aroma, with large slices of German smoked sausage, onion and bell pepper and tomato sauce as a base, then sprinkled with basil leaves and finished with a thick layer of cheese. The fifteen-inch pizza takes the Italian-style thin-bottomed pizza route.

The whole pizza tastes neither dry nor oily, and the texture is just right. Homemade mozzarella cheese bought from a Swiss ranch is roasted and melted at high temperatures, resulting in a slightly browned puff pastry on the surface. But the inside is still soft and waxy, and it can be drawn.

Peter Parker came up heartlessly and grabbed a piece and ate it. However, Gwen noticed that the food in front of Li Jie was a little different, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

After Li Jie took a sip of hot soup: "My stomach is a little uncomfortable. ”

Lan knew that Li Jie's stomach was upset, but Katie didn't know that she looked up at Li Jie and Lan with a somewhat complicated expression, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's just too much carbonated drink. Li Jie waved his hand.

Peter bit into the pizza and pulled out a long shredded piece of cheese, and he scrambled to eat it as he said, "Drink too much Coke? ”

Li Jie didn't bother to refute Peter's assessment, because he wasn't really addicted to carbonated drinks. It's about sacrificing one's stomach and intestines in order to do serious things.

Katie was a little angry and funny about Li Jie's remarks that he had an upset stomach because he drank too much of this coke. She originally laughed out loud, but when she turned her head, Lan was looking at Li Jie with a gentle eye. Suddenly she couldn't stop laughing.

It's like a high-speed car suddenly braking, which makes Katie very uncomfortable. Li Jie noticed Katie's expression, and Li Jie pursed his lips. It was really a bit troublesome, and he looked at Arashi on the side again.

Although Arashi was smiling, her eyes were gentle. But Li Jie still remembers what she just said: "I am the storm roaring on the top of the Himalayas". Li Jie sighed, what kind of is this.

Li Jie looked at Katie and asked, "Yes, how is Katie doing? Are you used to being a female president? Has anyone bullied you or anything?"

"It's good, I don't think anyone is going to bully me. Katie replied quickly. Then there was silence. She didn't know what to say now. There should have been a lot to say, but now it feels like it's too late to say anything.

Li Jie looked at Lan and knew that Lan was probably unable to let go of Katie. In any case, Katie is also his friend, and he still values this friend very much. And the professor also likes Katie as a student, and may be proud to have such a student in his career as a professor.

Li Jie wiped his mouth with a napkin, and then said to Katie, "Would you like to walk with me to the garden? I would love to hear what your life is like after you become president." Maybe the mutant manga will be able to use it in the future. ”

Katie laughed, "Then you need to pay me the royalties." Li Jie nodded: "Of course." ”

Just as Jay and Katie were about to go to the back garden to talk, Peter chimed in while eating pizza, "You haven't eaten much, Jason." ”

Li Jie: "I'm full. ”

Peter: ", aren't you sick to your stomach?~ Gwen, why are you kicking me?" Gwen covered her face.

Arashi smiled at Peter and Gwen and shook her head.

…………………………

In the back garden of Villa Li Jie.

Katie stretches her waist, which makes her whole body stretch out and look particularly light. Li Jie walked to Katie's left, looked at Katie and said, "I think that tweed coat is a good match for you." ”

"yes, that's good. I love it. Katie put her hands in the pockets of her jeans: "You have a good eye, I probably can't buy such good clothes if I buy them myself." Did Arashi choose it for you?"

Katie looked at Li Jie with both eyes, and Li Jie did not evade: "No, I chose it." Including Arashi's, and my mother's. ”

Katie turned her head and whispered, "Oh" Her mood was inexplicably better: "Tell me about the previous incident." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Jie didn't figure out what Katie was trying to ask.

"You said you drank too much Coke in the afternoon? I think you're not a big fan of these things. Katie asked Li Jie with some curiosity. She really didn't want to talk about Arashi or anything right now.

As mentioned before, Katie was eager to find someone to talk to her. At this time, discussing Arashi, or Li Jie's girlfriend or something, Katie felt that she would be in a bad mood.

Li Jie's succinct answer to Katie's inquiry: "For some negotiations, I was forced to fight with a carbonated drink fanatic Coke Sprite Jianlibao or something." These things are really not what I'm good at. ”

Katie didn't really want to discuss with Li Jie why he drank too many carbonated drinks. She's just looking for a conversation. Katie found a chair in the back garden and sat down, then looked at Li Jie and said with a sigh: "Yes, work is always tiring." It's also tiring to be a mutant female president or something. This job is more stressful than I thought. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a trusted friend by my side. ”

Katie looked in the direction of the living room of the house, "It's like you have Arashi now." If your stomach is upset, she will help you make hot soup. It's a good feeling to always have someone to help you when you need it. ”

Katie had made up her mind not to talk about Arashi, but she couldn't help but say it again. What an immature girl, Katie grumbled inwardly.

Li Jie sat down next to Katie: "Actually, don't you also have a lot of companions by your side all the time? ”

Katie shook her head, "That's different. Or maybe not quite the same. You know, I have a little better relationship with you. Well, I don't deny that, I have a liking for you. It was straightforward, but now it looks like I don't have much of a chance. You've got your very own princess Sissi (note). ”

Katie shook her head, her long hair fluttering, "Maybe I should have done it sooner." After saying that, Katie smiled to herself, and then said in a low voice, "I really hope you can stay with me for a while." Katie spoke her mind bluntly, but her uncontrollable mood became low.

"Actually, I've always been with you, but in a different form and identity. Li Jie's words made Katie turn her eyes to Li Jie again, but Li Jie was gone, and there was only one person left who Katie was also familiar with.

The Nightkin has been praised by many people, including Professor Charles and Dr. Hank, and Katie herself needs to admire his wild imagination, and listened to his opinions to make many changes and news and political shows on the mutant statehood event.

And now he was sitting in the place where Li Jie had been, and instead of speaking in the deep and hoarse voice of a nightcrawler (Li Jie has a skill in changing his voice), he spoke in Li Jie's original voice: "Actually, my companion has always been there. ”
