Yes! It's over! His pepper fish!

A few days ago, Nahi was watching TV at home and staring at this Chinese dish and swallowed for a long time. He finally purchased all the ingredients from supermarkets and small shops in Chinatown, and searched through YouTube anchors to find simple tutorials. Stumbling to the seventh step, being disturbed by this damn guy, I'm afraid the pot is going to boil dry!

Edward's figure disappeared from the doorway with a swish, and appeared in front of the kitchen stove in a blink of an eye, scrambling to check the ingredients in the pot.

It's okay, the color looks good. The last step is to pour oil on the plate!

The aroma of pepper and the freshness of chili pepper instantly filled the room.

"Well, this smells really—" Bella put her arms around Edward's waist from behind, tilting her head to see him busy, frowning in confusion at the moment, and her mouth grew a few times without describing the irritation.

Edward also frowned, the vampire had a keen sense, and the spicy taste was almost a pain in his nose, and it rammed into his internal organs, like a throwing knife, cutting fine blood marks along the way. The taste is not very good.

"Edward, what are you doing? It smells so good! Before she had completely descended the stairs, Nahi, who was poking her head through the railing, asked in surprise. Da Da stepped on the slippers and trotted all the way, landing beside the two like birds, looking at the vegetable plate with his eyes: "Is this a pepper fish?" Is it? The little hand pointed uncertainly, and then looked at Edward.

Who can withstand this, and they are willing to be inserted into a sieve by a flying knife.

Edward rubbed Nahi's head and served the food.

Vampires can't eat human food, not to mention chewing wax, and they can't provide nutrition and energy. So the dining table at home has always been the exclusive property of Naixi, she stared at the new dish in front of her with bright eyes, and had completely forgotten the embarrassment at the door of the house just now, and couldn't wait for the chopsticks to cool down.

"Eha..."hot and spicy explode in the mouth together, with a strange spicy aroma and burnt numbness, delicious!

In her previous life, her body did not allow too stimulating diets, and she was vegetarian every day, without half of the fun. In this life, she was born in the United States, even if Bella knows some cooking skills and loves life, Esme is also diligent in research, but in the end it is always a Western taste, lacking some nostalgia and flavor.

Today's improved food was simply unexpected! Nai's mouth was swollen with numbness, her little face was soaked with fine sweat, and her eyes narrowed like a well-fed milk cat.

Bella sat on the side with her face propped up, raised her hand to wipe her sweat, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: "Baby Nahi, since you like Chinese food so much, why don't we travel to Sichuan this summer?" If you have a birthday over there, you might be able to grab a baby panda and make it for your birthday. ”

"You don't have to! You just let the panda go, it's a national protected animal in China..."Nahi's eyes were full of horror, and the chopsticks that couldn't be stopped at Bella's suggestion stopped.

Ever since they had seen a panda at a zoo in Japan, Bella had been obsessed with this silly black and white creature, always wanting to steal one and raise it home. Nahi thought that after so long, she had forgotten about this stubble, but she didn't expect to think about it, and she wanted to use her dietary preferences to fake public benefits.

"No, no, no." For the safety of the baby panda, no matter how much you like to eat Chinese food, you can't go, "And I made an appointment with Linda and them to go camping in the Fox Forest again and build a friendship base, I'm afraid it will take a few days." ”

This is still mentioned by Linda herself, she is quite guilty about not being able to camp during spring break because of her accident, and she is bent on making up for her regrets during the summer vacation.

And the people here seem to have a paranoid love for handicrafts, even the girls, Linda actually wants to build a treehouse by the stream.

Nahi, who had only started to chisel a wooden boat not long ago, naturally knew what a big project this was, and was both moved and admired, and responded in one bite.

"What do you want to build? Can I help you? Edward leaned back on the bar to the side, his hands in his pockets, interested in the banging, "If that's not enough, you can call Emmett and Gaspar together." ”

"If you go out, it is estimated that it will be built in one night-" Nai Xi helplessly helped his forehead, "What we want is the process, without the process of doing it yourself and working together, how can it be called a friendship base?" ”

"And there's Hadrin and-" Nehi's voice suddenly quieted, and the chopsticks in his hand poked around in the bowl, "And what about Dmitry..."

Edward covered his chest with his hands, it hurt, there is an old Chinese saying, how do you say it? The female university is not staying.

Nahi said one less person, and Jacob.

I thought that his pursuit of Linda would be difficult and long, but who knew that the April of the warbler flying grass was not over yet, and Linda was already on his motorcycle.

Penny couldn't believe it, suspecting that she was mistaking gratitude for love, and quietly pulled Nahi to mutter, "What is Linda thinking?" That Jacob and we are not in the same world at all, and he may never leave that reservation for the rest of his life, absolutely no offense, but do you know what other girls say about him? They all say that he is a biker who has come to cheat money, and he specializes in deceiving simple bookworms like Linda. ”

Even Penny could see the distance between the two, and Nahi didn't know it, but they both overestimated the girl's rationality.

Linda is at the most dazed stage of her life. Recently, there has been a serious academic disagreement in her mother's department, and she has been squeezed out of the most background clerk idle position, although she spends more time at home every day, but she is depressed, and still does not give her much care.

How happy Linda was at the beginning, how disappointed she is now, she used to work so hard to be excellent, but she just wanted to get her mother's attention and recognition. She had always thought that her mother's absence was due to her busy work, and she understood the busyness and danger. But now, she can't lie to herself anymore, Ann always works first, just because she has never taken family affection to heart.

Thus Jacob's fiery love and wholehearted companionship became the strongest wine, full of excitement and temptation, and could burn all reason and scruples in one sip.

Penny is worried that Linda is not worthy, but Nacy thinks Jacob is even more pitiful.

He always seems to be the character who heals people, the former Bella, and now Linda, only come to him with bloody wounds and ask for warmth, while he only knows how to give unreservedly, soothe each other's pain with focus and enthusiasm, but never get real reciprocal love.

But Jacob didn't care, just like her Dmitry, as long as he got the slightest response, he was extremely satisfied.

Not only Dmitry, but also her family.

Nahi suddenly felt a little guilty, how could she not be the one who held her wounds and sought protection, was healed by their love, and the response she could give could never be equal to the love she received.

But at least... At least give them a gift in return?

Vampires don't have birthdays anymore, and she never seems to have a chance to give them gifts.

This... It's good to give it back on your birthday.

The key is to think about what to send first!

They don't eat human food, they don't lack money to buy clothes, they have few interests, they have few greed.

Nahi was in a long state of distress until she accidentally caught a glimpse of the wooden boat in the bookcase.

How about giving them hand-carved ornaments? It can not only carry the heart, but also facilitate long-term storage.

Of course, it was much more troublesome than digging out a rough wooden boat, but Nahi lacked the least patience and perseverance.

Designing, selecting materials, purchasing tools, learning crafts, except for some painting foundation and pitiful manual experience, she almost started from scratch, but she enjoyed it.

Compared to woodcuts, which are completely unfamiliar, the design is almost the simplest part. Nahi had wanted to engrave the ring, but the wooden ring was too fragile for a vampire, and it might have to be scrapped with a slight fist.

So the final plan was to make a brooch for every woman and cufflinks for the men.

The pattern combines each person's name, personality, and flower language.

Esme is the gentle and elegant Jasmine, Rosely is the delicate and passionate Rose, Alice is the free and bright Iris, and Bella is the brave and precious Edelweiss.

The men's patterns echo those of their singers, increasing the proportions of the branches and leaves and the abstract arc, which makes them a little more square and comfortable.

As for Dmitry, he will correspond to his lily of the valley, innocence and beauty, and happiness.

Nahi held the manuscript and looked left and right, satisfied, and more and more eager to try.

However, she didn't dare to put the actual carving at home, the vampire has amazing ears, and she can't shield her thoughts all the time, in case Edward and the others find out, she will lose the surprise.

The tools and timber were purchased online, sent to Penny's home, and brought to school.

Nahi used his short lunch break and self-study time to work overtime, first practicing with his lily of the valley brooch, carving and carving a little bit.

The control in the half-blood helped a lot, and she was able to carve out smooth lines and file for ideal depth with little to no tools.

Penny and Linda watched in amazement and couldn't wait to book a full set of jewelry for the wedding on the spot.

"Are you sure you want to wear wood ornaments at the wedding?" Nahi couldn't laugh or cry.

"As long as it's good-looking!" The two of them can't put down the carved flowers that have just shown their embryonic shape, the branches and leaves are stretched, the buds are exquisite, shy and slightly drooping, tightly clustered, and they seem to be able to smell the fresh and dense fragrance of lily of the valley at a glance.

"Delusion! Just an illusion! You smell sandalwood..."Nahi didn't believe their praise, she was a novice, how could she have such a superb level.

In her opinion, this semi-finished product was extremely rough, and it was not at all what she had in mind. And in fact, I found that there are some details in the artwork that are not easy to achieve.

The woodcut is still not three-dimensional enough, and the color is single, and it is impossible to make the rich layers of metal jewelry by relying only on simple relief and hollowing.

Nahi fiddled with her tools, a little at a loss for a moment.

With all her mind on the present, Nahi didn't notice that Dmitry and his family were looking at her wrong.

The vampire's keen sense of smell kept them from missing the scent of wood on Nahi's body.

Unable to hear any information about the origin of the scent in Nehi's mind, Edward couldn't help but be curious and instigated by Bella, and sneaked into Nahi's room in the middle of the night, taking her hand and putting it on her face.

Scold! Boy! The mind is full of whimsical ideas for making cufflinks, which must have been made for Dmitry's boy!

Edward's heart hurt again, and the woman didn't stay... T^T
