Snowflakes are falling in the night sky, and the hot pot is steaming.

"It's snowing." Sirona held out her hand and whispered.

"I'll allow you to put your hand in my pocket to keep warm."

Sirona smiled, "Don't." ”

But she still reached into her pockets with her little hands, and her snow-white cheeks were stained crimson.

"How does it feel?"

"It's not cold."

"But my hands are cold."

Sirona glanced at her and whispered, "My jacket has no pockets." ”

Lu Ye didn't speak, his gaze fell on Sirona's slender fingers that were as delicate as white porcelain.

Sirona's face turned red and she removed her hand from the wooden table.

"It's just a return gift, don't think about it much."

"Don't worry, I'll go to sleep tonight with a touch of the touch."

“…… Doesn't sound like a good word. ”

Sirona looked directly at the bubbling red oil hot pot of 'Dudu', the fresh vegetables with fresh vegetables, the sizzling meatballs, and the delicate texture of the mutton shabu......

Her fingers groped carefully under the table, and in an instant, she felt a large, gentle and powerful hand, which took the initiative to take her hand into the palm of her hand.

Sirona pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, suddenly thinking of the scene of the first handshake in the snow.

She scratched her little finger in her palm with a wicked look.

"Hmm..." Lu Ye's face changed slightly.

"Teacher Lu, do you have a stomachache?" Ash looked over worriedly.

Lu Ye nodded effortlessly: "My stomach hurts... It's an old problem. ”

"When can I eat it?" Akin's cheeks were raised.

"At least until the balls float." Christal said.

The little fingers of the two touched again under the table, and after the temptation, Lu Ye felt a delicate and tender touch.

Gadelia, who had just walked into the backyard, happened to see the two people who were very close to each other.

Gardelia's mouth widened.

Shocked by Gardelia for a whole year!!

"Gardelia?" Wanlong stretched out his finger and shook it in front of her, "How much is this?" ”

Gadelia shook her head and walked quickly towards the two of them.

Everyone looked up and looked at Gardelia in amazement.

"I want to... Dinner together. Gadelia said with a pout.

Xiaolan was the first to react and said with a smile:

"Add a pair of chopsticks, you can find a place to sit!"

Wanlong bowed apologetically, sat down next to Lijia later, and whispered:

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"No, it's okay." Lijia said with a smile, her eyes flashing with excitement, "I just want to see such a scene." ”

Wanlong: ???

Nazi half-crouched to the side and looked at Geng Ghost: "Christmas... Do you want to train too? ”

"Kouji!" Geng nodded vigorously.

Let the master be the strongest trainer... It's been a dream it's always had.

And now, it is also feeling that the owner is gradually responding to its expectations.

"Mouth! (๑•̀ᄇ•́)و✧ "Geng Ghost smiled.

There could be more happiness than that!

"That's nice." Nazi whispered, suddenly smiling, "Then I'll train with you!" ”

The arrival of Gadelia was really unexpected by Sirona.

"Why are you here?" Sirona pulled back her blonde hair and asked in surprise.

"Hmm." Gardelia didn't speak, and squeezed between Sirona and Teacher Lu.

Sirona smiled helplessly at Lu Ye, and then touched Gardelia's long hair soothingly:

"After I go back, will I accompany you again~"

Gadelia looked at Lu Ye warily, then at Sirona, and shook her head.

That look is like an abandoned little animal, or a child whose beloved toy has been taken away.

"Alright." Sirona smiled and said, "Let's have dinner together!" ”

"Uh......" Lu Ye withdrew his hand with some regret, looked at the steaming hot pot, and said with a smile:

"It's time to go!"

Dry rice, dry meal!

Ah Jin's eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his chopsticks towards a tempting ball.

Syllable!

The chopsticks collided, Ah Jin looked up in surprise, and Ash also looked surprised.

The eyes of the two collided fiercely in the air, stirring up a series of sparks.

It's a fight between two dry rice people!

"This guy." Xiaoyin helplessly held his forehead, "It's really hopeless......"

In the cooking level, it is divided into the levels of Little Milk Fairy, Sure Fruit Weng, Charizard and so on.

And Mr. Lu's cooking undoubtedly belongs to the highest level of 'flame bird'.

Ah Jin blew away the heat of the balls, stuffed them into his mouth, and suddenly his face turned red.

The spicy flavor spreads out on the tip of the tongue, and the delicious soup that follows makes people feel appetizing.

Swallowing hard, Ah Jin drank the water 'tons and tons' while challenging the next ball.

"It's spicy!" Yulongdu was slightly stunned, and his eyes lit up, "But it's delicious!" ”

Crimson: "Whew, some of them are on fire!" ”

Kona: "The smell ...... It's unreasonable! ”

Ash: "One more bowl!" ”

Teacher Lu looked at this scene with a smile on his face.

Never mind... Before the small book, let's write it off!

After all, it's time for Xiao Ben to start a new round of grudges!

Gadelia leaned half of her body towards Sirona.

Sirona leaned close to her ear: "You hand me a hand." ”

"Huh?" Gadelia was slightly stunned, but still handed her hand to Sirona.

Sirona squeezed Gardelia's small, boneless hand and tilted her head in confusion.

Why......

Don't feel like that just now?

……

Oki Research Institute.

Dr. Oki looked at the visitor in surprise.

"How." Juzi leaned on crutches and said coldly, "I'm an old immortal, can't I come to you to have a look?" ”

Dr. Ohki, an industry leader, is unusually cramped.

"Of course you can, but I thought you ......"

Kikuko leaned on crutches, looked around, and glanced at Dr. Oki again.

"Smoke less."

Dr. Oki froze in place.

This... Is this still the Kikuko I know?

That chrysanthemum who didn't agree with him and started beating and scolding?!

"How." Juzi said coldly.

"Nothing." Dr. Oki shook his head, extinguished his cigarette, and asked, "You too, were invited over?" ”

Kikuko nodded slightly.

Dr. Oh Oh let out an 'oh' and the two fell silent for a long time.

Decades apart, both of them are old men.

To Kikuko's surprise.

When he saw Yukinari Ohki, he had no resentment, no blame, no resentment.

There are just.

Oh, this guy is aging so fast.

Outside, the snow was falling one after another.

"I'll pour you a cup of tea." Dr. Oki said scrambledly.

"To ......" Before Kikuko could speak, Dr. Oki added:

"Sugar cubes, not cream, right?"

Kikuko was silent for a long time and nodded slightly.

In the empty research institute, Kikuko looked at the back of Yukinari Oki.

Standing up on crutches, he walked tremblingly to Yukinari Oki's desk.

Suddenly, her pupils constricted.

A shallow smile spread across Granny Kikuko's wrinkled face.

"Gone, Geng."

"Kouji!"

Mother-in-law Kikuko walked tremblingly to the snowy outdoors on crutches.

"I've been waiting." Dr. Oki hurriedly walked back with black tea in his hand.

But the room was empty.

Damu Xuecheng scratched his head, and suddenly felt a little lost.

Sitting back in his office chair, he held up the yellowed old photo and the letter from Kikuko last time.

Moving his gaze downward, Dr. Oki smiled unconsciously.

At the foot of the letter, the crumpled footer.

There was an extra smiling face of a ghost.

……

Snow.

The outdoor party also came to an end.

Crimson suggested that everyone take a group photo together as a souvenir.

When the 'man of battle' spoke, it must have been unanimously approved by everyone.

"I—Can I shoot with everyone too?" Ash scratched his cheek embarrassedly.

"Of course!" Ah Jin grinned and dragged Ash over, "You little brother, I've already approved it!" ”

"Hey." Ash scratched his head.

Teacher Lu looked at the sky silently.

I just hope that Ah Jin doesn't infect his character of death to Ash!

Xiaolan took out a tripod out of nowhere and set the time.

"One, two, three, eggplant!"

At the same time, she ran to Xiao Yin quickly, Xiao Yin blushed and caught her in a panic.

"Eggplant~" everyone laughed in unison.

"Mouth! （๑`▽´๑)۶”

"Damn, Geng ghost, you're blocking the camera, let's take another one!"

"One, two, three... Whose Pikachu is this! ”

"I reported it, it's Ash's Pikachu!"

"Ah, Pikachu, come back soon!"

"Pickup! ⚡⚡⚡”

……

Guandu, the base of Team Rocket.

A man in a suit, with only a cat boss with him.

The entire Rocket base was on vacation with great humanity.

Loneliness is like a thick shadow, but Sakaki enjoys it immensely.

Dididi——

Sakaki raised his eyebrows and picked up the personal phone that he didn't use often.

clicked on the voice, it was Lu Ye's guy, the tone of the.

"Merry Christmas, Boss Sakaki!"

"This is my Christmas gift to you, remember to give me a five-star review~!"

"For me...... Christmas gifts? ”

Sakaki was stunned for a long time, and his gaze shifted downward.

It was a group photo.

Everyone was so electrified that they were disgraced.

But everyone's face was full of smiles.

Looking at the young man in the red and white hat, Sakaki unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

Instantly, he fell silent.

It was a red-haired boy with gloomy eyes, just like his younger self.

Sakaki gently rubbed the photo with his big hand and let out a long breath.

He made a call and gave it to the real bird who was eating the barbecue.

"Hmm... Boss, what's the matter? ”

"I heard that he is preparing for the Guandu Conference."

Sakaki Road, "Give the spare Tokiwa badge to Lu Ye's kid......"

"And... Give him the "Mysteries of the Earth" as well. ”

The real bird was shocked for a long time, and then said competently:

"My subordinates understand."

"The Mystery of the Earth" is the brainchild of Sakaki-sama's life.

Just like that, it was easily given to Mr. Lu?

It seems that Mr. Lu's status is more important than I imagined......

In a quiet and silent room.

Sakaki suddenly smiled.

I, Sakaki, have never owed anything to anyone in my life, except for ......

Sakaki shook his head and muttered:

"Mentor, this is my return gift, I hope you are satisfied......"
