80, Christmas
Christine carefully helped Goofy take care of the wound, and the wound after taking the medicine was really not as painful as before.
Calling Christine, who was resting, to work overtime, and giving her such a big problem, Gao Fei felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Christine, I've caused you trouble." ”
Christine smiled and shook her head: "Don't be so polite, you once saved my life, compared to your help to me, I did this just a gesture." ”
"Hmm...... You must be hungry after a busy day, right? Shall I treat you to dinner? Goofy suggested. After his body was strengthened, he needed to consume five times as many calories a day, so Goofy's food and digestion capacity increased significantly, in fact, he had been hungry since Christine gave him the medicine, and now he is even more hungry with his chest and back.
And when Christine heard this, she couldn't help but bump into the fawn - is this a date?
"How? Christine, are you hungry? Seeing that Christine didn't answer for a long time, Goofy couldn't help but ask again.
"Of course it's fine, then I'll go change my clothes now." Christine whispered with a red face, then turned and went into the bedroom to change.

For dinner, the two of them had steak at a small restaurant near Christine's apartment, and beef could provide Goofy with more energy.
After dinner, Goofy took Christine to the hospital for the night shift, and along the way, he saw that the businesses and houses on the street had begun to dress up for Christmas, and the most lively carnival of the American people - Christmas was coming soon.
When parting at the entrance of the hospital, Christine suddenly asked Gao Fei timidly: "Officer Gao Fei, who will you spend Christmas with?" ”
"Well......" Goofy fell into deep thought, his mind recalling Christmas in previous years.
In Goofy's original world, Christmas is an imported product from the West, and although young people have embraced this traditional holiday under the influence of Western culture, Goofy's parents are not interested in this holiday.
As soon as Christmas was mentioned, Goofy recalled his mother's complaint about Christmas: "What does this foreigner's foreign festival have to do with us?" The state doesn't give us a holiday! All festivals that don't have a holiday can't be called a festival, at best it's an anniversary! ”
Gao Fei couldn't help laughing, his mother's complaint was really steady and ruthless.
But halfway through the laugh, the smile on Goofy's face froze again......
It's been three months since I came to the Marvel world, and I don't know what the original world was like, and Gao Fei in that world died? Gone? Or maybe you can't sleep? Mom and Dad, how are they now?
Concern for his family is like a thorn in Gao Fei's heart, and every time his heart beats, he will pull the wound and hurt a point, although he now has five times the abilities of ordinary people, but he has nothing to do about it......
At this time, Christine's voice came from the ear: "Goofy? Goofy? What happened to you? ”
Goofy realized that he had been hanging Christine for a long time.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a reminder of Christmas in previous years." Goofy said with a smile.
"That'...... Who are you going to spend Christmas with this year? Christine plucked up the courage to ask again.
Gao Fei shook his head: "I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I'll live alone." ”
Christine asked tentatively, "Or ......"
Goofy understood what Christine meant, but he didn't want to have too much to do with the people of this world, after all, no matter how colorful this world was, it was not his home after all.
"I still have something to do in the bureau, so I'll go first, thank you for your help today, Christine." Gao Fei patted the little nurse on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay......" A hint of loss flashed through Christine's heart, but she forced out a smile and gave it to Goofy, "Goodbye, Officer Goofy." ”
"Goodbye, Christine." Goofy whispered, turning to blend in into the Brooklyn night.
——————————
Christmas is finally here.
The whole of Brooklyn, the whole of New York, and the whole of America were immersed in the grand holiday spirit.
Goofy in the apartment was not happy, he always felt out of place in the world from time to time.
At the same time, a poem that he memorized when he was a student kept swirling in his mind - "I think of my relatives every festive season".
In the morning, Aunt Wang and Cheng Jieqian called one after another, inviting Gao Fei to celebrate Christmas with them, and it seems that Aunt Wang, who has deep roots in the bone marrow of oriental thought, has also become a captive of Christmas, and Aunt Wang on the phone is obviously beaming.
Not to mention Jessy, who grew up in Western culture and like everyone else, she is very excited about Christmas.
But Goofy politely rejected the invitation of the mother and daughter, he was not ready to integrate into Christmas, he just wanted to nest in the small sofa in his apartment, silently worried about his father and mother in another world.
On top of that, he couldn't wait to plot his own sacrifice, because it was the only way for him to return to his homeland.
As long as I can see the vicissitudes of my father and mother's kind face again, I am not afraid of flying high in the sea of swords.
As night fell, thousands of lights were lit up outside the window, and various styles of "Christmas Divine Comedy" were heard in the streets and alleys, most of which were familiar to Gao Fei.
Turn on the TV, the content on the screen is also closely related to Christmas, and everyone is telling their own connection to the holiday season and sharing their holiday experiences.
At about half past seven in the evening, Frank, who had never been home at night, actually returned, and the old guy had two bottles of champagne and a pizza bought from the corner fast food restaurant, drunkenly pushed the door in, and grinned at Goofy.
"Merry Christmas, my nephew, today my uncle invites you to Christmas dinner!"
Frank staggered to the dining room and pulled out two champagne glasses and opened the champagne again.
"It's a big day, we need to have a drink...... Frank reluctantly filled two glasses of wine with a trembling hand, and handed one of them to Goofy.
Goofy shook his head helplessly: "Frank, I don't drink." ”
It's not that he doesn't want to drink, it's that the superhero system doesn't let him.
Frank was slightly stunned: "Huh? Goofy, I think you're long past the legal drinking age, right? Or am my memory skewed? Damn it...... Am I confused? Goofy, what year is it? 2008? Or 2007? ”
Goofy patted Frank on the shoulder: "Frank, this has nothing to do with the law, I don't want to drink today." ”
"Why?" Frank looked puzzled, "Goofy, today is Christmas, the most important day of the year, and it's a bit unwise for you to stay awake on such a good day!" ”
Gao Fei had to find an excuse to prevaricate: "Maybe the police station has a mission in a while?" I have to plan ahead. ”
"Please, who would choose to commit the crime at Christmas, when even the criminals go home for the holidays, okay? Come on Goofy, have a drink with me, don't you want your poor disabled uncle to pour himself a drink on a day like this? Frank cried and began to sell miserably again.
