After eating, Zero put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and then said to Nasha, "Today's dish is still much spicier than before." ”

Nasha narrowed her smile and said to Zero, "Because your dad likes spicy food very much, I've been cooking according to your dad's taste for the past two days." ”

"But Leah can't eat spicy, you see she's spicy. Zero glanced at Leah, who was blushing on the side, and said.

Leah took a sip of water, stuck out her tongue, and said "I'm fine" with a smile.

"I'm sorry Elia, tomorrow Mom will put more spicy food on Daddy's favorite dishes alone, and the rest will be as light as ever. Nasha touched Leah's head apologetically, and Leah nodded and took a bite to eat.

"Eat more fish, Leah. Wayne reminded.

Leah whispered with a bitter face, "But I don't like to eat fish......"

"Fish is nutritious, good for the eyes and brain, and can meet the body's daily demand for meat, it will not cause obesity like eating too much other meat, you should eat more fish and vegetables so that you can maintain good health......," Zero explained to Leah, "Also, it's good to eat and chew slowly, but it's not good to eat too slowly, you are too inattentive to eating, and looking around while eating is not good for digestion." ”

Leah raised her big light blue eyes a little aggrieved and looked at Nasha and said, "Mom...... Arnold bullied me again......"

"Hey...... I'm saying this for your own sake......" Zero gave Leah a helpless look.

Nasha and Wayne looked at each other and smiled, then turned to Leah and said, "My brother is right, Leah, and you are still an older sister, so you must do a good job of behaving properly, otherwise, you will still be counted out by your younger brother." ”

Nasha tapped the tip of Leah's nose as she spoke, and Leah pouted and wrinkled her nose cutely, then lowered her head to concentrate on eating.

Zero chuckled as she looked at Leah, who had started to eat obediently, and then Wayne finished drinking a glass of wine and pulled out a jewelry box from his pocket and handed it to Zero.

"What is this?" asked Zero as he took the jewelry box.

He opened the box, and was stunned by the light emitted by the contents of the box, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a pair of pendants. Two necklaces with slightly different shapes are put together in a jewelry box, the two pendants are bright silver in color, the shape is simple and exquisite, the texture is retro and exquisite, and the combined necklace pattern is the flame-like family crest of the Cretan family. The pendant emitted a glowing starlight, and at first glance it was thought to be a small piece of magic crystal glowing in the box.

"What?" Leah let out an exclamation as she poked her head over at the glowing pendant in Zero's hand.

It was the first time for Zero to see such a beautiful pendant, so he sighed and asked Wayne, "What is this?"

"What was given to you and your sister will be worn around your neck from now on. Wayne said.

"I want this!"

As soon as Leah heard that she had her share, she hurriedly reached out and picked up one of them, who knew that the two pendants were pulled out by her together.

"Ahh

"Oh no, it's going to be like this......" Nasha stood up after speaking, stretched out her hand and took the necklace in Leah's hand and gently broke it, and the two necklaces that attracted each other immediately separated. I saw that the two necklaces that originally exuded bright brilliance were separated at the moment of separation, and the light suddenly dimmed, Leah took one of the pendants and happily put it on her neck, and Nasha helped Zero put on the other pendant.

Zero held the pendant on his chest in his hand, looked at the half of the pendant that only emitted a slight fluorescence, and thought.

Wayne took a sip of wine and said: "This is a small piece of magnetic meteorite gold that I found in the battlefield when I went out to perform military affairs this time, and I used that pair of pendants polished by the best jewelry store in the imperial capital some time ago. When polishing, alchemy is mixed with some magical substances, so when the two pieces fall together, they will glow, and when they are separated, the light will weaken, and if they are too far apart, they will not emit light. I give it to you sisters and brothers, I hope you can cherish each other well, no matter when and where, family is the closest. ”

After listening to Wayne's explanation, the doubts in Zero's heart were solved, he nodded and looked at Leah, who leaned towards her with the necklace on his neck, only to see that the two necklaces were attracted to each other when they were close, and then "snapped" together, and after closing, the light emitted lit up the faces of Zero and Leah before the victory. Leah thought it was amused and giggled happily.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he complained helplessly: "Isn't this similar to a magnet...... Magnetic meteorite sounds too tall, but it's interesting to glow when you close it. ”

Zero broke the two necklaces open, the light dimmed again, he put it on his chest and nodded to Wayne and said, "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Wayne nodded and didn't say much, taking care of himself and drinking with food.

At this point, Zero stood up and said to Wayne and Nasha, "I'm done eating, let's eat and go." ”

"Go home early. Wayne said, bowing his head and taking a sip of the wine.

"I'll probably be back as soon as it gets dark. Zero replied.

"I'm going to ...... too," Leah said vaguely, with a mouthful of food in her mouth.

Zero looked at the unfinished meal in Leah's bowl, shook his head and said, "You haven't finished your meal yet, wait until you can finish eating on time and then go out with me." ”

"Uh-huh......" Leah made a muffled voice as she picked up her meal.

"Finish your meal. Wayne looked at Leah's hurried eating, frowned and said with a serious face.

Leah saw Wayne's displeased face and immediately became well-behaved.

Zero smiled when he saw Leah's immature and cute appearance, then waved his hand and said "let's go", then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

"Stay safe on the road. Nasha reminded as she looked at Zero's back.

"Got it. Zero replied.

Walking through the grassy garden, Zero raised his head to look up at the clouds dyed red by the sunset in the west, took a deep breath of fresh air, and a satisfied smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

This is the life he has always dreamed of in the past, with a happy, bustling, peaceful and uneventful family...... In the past, he was lonely all his life, and he had never experienced the beauty of family, which others easily had but he could not reach, so he would study hard and work hard in his last life, because he wanted to start his own family, although this idea was later shattered......

Now, he also has a family as complete as ordinary people, a happy and happy family. Sometimes he really feels like he's living in a dream, he's been unbelievably reborn, and he has such a good family background, it's a dream that's so real, so real that he doesn't want to wake up.

"Jano!"

The girl's lilting voice pulled Zero back from his contemplation, and he looked at the source of the sound, and it turned out that he had walked to the courtyard of the Ryan family, where Sophie was standing at the courtyard door to greet him.

"Oh!Sophie, good evening~" Zero walked up to Sophie and beckoned to her, "You're just in time, pinch me, pinch me hard." ”

"Huh?" Sophie opened her mouth, a little confused and surprised.

"It's okay, just pinch it. Zero said to Sophie with an arm.

Sophie hesitantly stretched out her little hand and pinched Zero's forearm hard, Zero grinned in pain, and sighed in her heart that this little girl had such a big hand.

"It hurts a lot, it doesn't seem to be a dream...... "Zero's heart breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with you?" Sophie laughed a little inexplicably.

Zero waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see it...... Do you have a lot of strength......"

"What's the big deal?" asked Sophie, confused.

"It's okay...... Zero smiled awkwardly.

"Where are you going?" asked Sophie with a smile. In the setting sun, her dark yellow curls look a little chic and eye-catching. Her supple hair is casually draped over her shoulders, and her warm smile with a mouthful of small white teeth gives people the feeling of a kind and gentle girl next door.

Zero replied to her, "Just finished eating and went out for a walk." ”

"Why didn't you see Leah?" Sophie was a little puzzled when she saw Zero alone.

Zero Qing sighed and said, "She guesses she's just finished eating now......"

"Oh?" Sophie was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "at least she's much better at eating than Leyson." ”

Sophie turned sideways to show Zero the scene in the yard, and Zero looked around, only to see Leyson sitting in the sand pit in the yard playing with the sand, and Natis was holding the rice bowl while scooping the food into the mouth of Leyson, who was playing in the sand, while counting that he was not eating well. On the other side, Ryan, who was sitting at the dinner table, looked at Natis as she ate her meal with a smile on her face.

Zero heard Nadis's angry voice at the door of the courtyard early in the morning, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw the scene in front of him.

Natis noticed Zero standing in the doorway, smiled at him and greeted him, "It's Jeno, come in and sit down, have you finished eating?"

"I'm done eating early~" Zero replied.

Hearing Zero's words, Natis patted Leyson on the back and said, "Look at it, your brother Jeno has finished eating, so you don't eat well, you always have to be fed by your mother when you are such an adult." ”

Leyson looked at Natis and said aggrievedly, "But I'm not hungry anymore......"

"Don't eat now, and have to snack in the evening, do you know that you're so bad about your health?" said Natis as she scooped up another spoonful of food and sent it to Leyson's mouth.

Zero leaned against the door and shouted to Leyson with a smile: "Leyson, you have to eat well, listen to your mother, look at what you have made your mother so angry......? What a lady from the imperial capital is about to turn into a middle-aged woman!"

"Ahh ”

After Natis finished speaking, she turned her head and looked nervously at Ryan, who was smiling, and asked, "Do I really have a lot of wrinkles on my face......?"

"Hahaha...... Ryan laughed, "kid kidding you." ”

"Aha......" Zero couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Natis looked at Zero who was leaning against the door and laughing, and she gritted her teeth and said to Zero, "Okay, you Jeno! I like to make fun of your aunt, right, I'll go to your mother and sue you later, saying that you don't respect your elders." ”

"How can I disrespect you? I'm just reminding you euphemistically, don't delay your beauty because you're too tired~" Zero raised his eyebrows and smiled at Natis.

"Then let me ask you, who is more beautiful than your mother?" asked Natis with a smirk of anger.

"Of course you're pretty," replied categorically, "No matter how many times you ask, I'll be the answer, don't you just want to hear me say that~"

"Hahaha......" Ryan couldn't hold back a laugh.

"What are you laughing at?!" Natis jerked back to Ryan.

Ryan immediately suppressed a smile, lowered his head and continued to eat.

"Okay, you little slippery head, don't give me a chance, if I catch me, I'll have to fix you!" Natis turned her face to look at Zero with a smile on her face leaning against the door.

Zero laughed twice and said to Natis, "You'd better feed Leysin first." ”

After saying that, he said "go" to Sophie beside him, and turned to leave after seeing Sophie nod.

"Alas! Jeno ......"

Zero had just taken two steps when Sophie stopped him behind him, and Zero looked back at her suspiciously.

Sophie walked up to him and asked, "The ...... Well...... You and ...... Elvin...... They're good friends, aren't they?"

Zero Wenyan raised his eyebrows, knowing it in his heart, but he still replied quietly on his face: "Yes." ”

"That'...... Then you...... If you have the chance, you can ...... Can you help me...... Do you want him out?" Sophie's face flushed like a ripe peach, and in the reflection of the setting sun, her face seemed to be imprinted with a misty color.

"Sophie, you...... Love Aven, right?" Zero asked Sophie directly.

Sophie immediately panicked when she heard this, she hurriedly raised her hand and shook her head while waving her hand: "No, no, no...... I was just...... It's just that...... I ......"

"Okay, can I still see it?" said Zero, pressing her hand down slightly.

Sophie pinched the corners of her clothes with a flushed face, looked at her eyes, and said to her seriously: "Sophie, it's not a shame to like someone, you have to have the courage to boldly admit this feeling, and you must be brave and honest about liking people, even if you are a girl, it doesn't prevent you from liking someone sincerely." ”

Sophie was a little flustered at first, but then looked into Zero's eyes and calmed down after hearing these words, the flush on her face faded a lot, and she looked at Zero seriously.

Zero exhaled between his noses, and then said, "I think you can see who Ai Wen is interested in, but it doesn't matter, you just have to remember that you always have a chance." You are an excellent girl, liking someone is a sincere and beautiful thing, you have to seize all the opportunities you can seize, bravely pursue that beauty, no matter what the result is in the future, you are worthy of your original heart, understand?"

Sophie stared at Zero with her eyes pursed and nodded quickly.

Zero smiled and continued to say to Sophie, "So, since you like him, take the initiative to find him yourself, and don't let your heart be buried in obscurity like that." ”

"Good. Sophie replied with a nod.

"Okay, I've got to go out, I've got to go home when it's dark, time is running out, I'll see you later. Zero waved goodbye to Sophie, then turned to leave.

"Alas...... Kids......" Zero sighed in his heart and walked along the stone path to the front yard.
