Chapter 259 The Thanksgiving Story
In the apartment in the Bastyk Building, the fireplace in the living room exudes warmth and heat, and the long-lasting "Friends" is played on the large-screen TV, accompanied by interesting and funny plots, and canned laughter sounds from time to time.

Qin leaned on the sofa with her legs bent, showing a sense of laziness all over her body, like a cat curled up enjoying its leisure time, lying in its own nest, not wanting to move at all.

"I said, are you really not going to come and help?"

Sean, wearing an apron and gloves, is busy in the kitchen making the turkey necessary for the festival and preparing other ingredients.

"Sorry, I have a disease that makes me uncomfortable when I go into the kitchen for a while, and I think you can handle these things." Qin was lying on her side with a playful smile on her face, "By the way, don't forget my favorite Cranberry Moss Jam and Pumpkin Pie...beautiful Thanksgiving!"

"Wow, what an honor to be able to present Ms. Jean Gray with a great meal."

Shouting exaggeratedly, Sean mixed the broken bread, onion, salt and pepper, stuffed it into the turkey's stomach, and sent it to the oven.

Today is the annual Thanksgiving Day, and the whole city is filled with the joyful atmosphere of family reunion. Unfortunately, Sean was not like this before. Gwen and Betty will stay at home and celebrate the festival with their parents. Little Lolita is probably wandering around in an RV, Fantastic Four and Iron Man, they all have their own activities.

Ms. Scarlett, who just had an in-depth exchange not long ago, is said to be returning to Los Angeles to visit relatives. She expressed a very regretful tone in the text message on the phone. Sean, who enjoys the blessings of being equal to others, has somehow become a loner. It has to be said that there is reincarnation in the law of heaven.

Fortunately, for the first time, Qin, who was with the professor in Westchester for the festival, did not rush over, which saved him from the miserable end of being lonely at home.

"If you come here like this, the professor will complain to me next time, saying that I abducted his good student."

The young man pulled up a big red tablecloth to cover the dining table and lit a few flickering candles. The dinner plate was filled with baked bread, sweet potatoes and various desserts. The huge turkey was in the oven, smelling Alluring aroma.

"No, the professor may have guessed something, but he didn't say much. On the contrary, it's Scott. When you go to school next time, you may have to be careful that he challenges you to a duel."

Qin was talking lazily, her eyes fixed on the funny sitcom on TV, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Wow, looks like I have to be ready at all times, in case Scott throws a glove on my face at any time." Sean shrugged.

He has had a rare peaceful time recently. S.H.I.E.L.D. is busy supervising the construction and delivery of the Helicarrier, so the black chief, who is wary of any strangers, has no time to bother himself for the time being. Maybe this has nothing to do with The other party firmly believes that the professional strength of Romanov agents is inseparable.

Tony and Reed are fully devoted to the production of the Ultron program. I wonder how the SHIELD will feel about the artificial intelligence jointly created by Iron Man and Mister Fantastic?

Maybe Nick Fury will want to strangle these two people...

The rampant Mutant Registration Act was gradually implemented, and the response was getting stronger and stronger. There was a Mr. Vice President waving the flag, and the Congress introduced many effective policies one after another to protect the rights and interests of these officially registered mutants. Under a virtuous circle, it attracted many More mutants join the ranks.

Viktor Doom, who was far away in Latvinia, was getting more and more successful in his missionary process. After all, he was unwilling to join the Doomsday Sect, and the local gangsters and old nobles who converted under the name of Doctor Doom were almost dead.

This kind of missionary method similar to "If you don't believe in God, I will send you to see God" has achieved remarkable results. I believe that soon Latvinia will establish a stable and powerful religious regime.

On the Magneto side, the leader of the mutants, he got in touch with Ulysses Crow a week ago and reached a verbal cooperation agreement, but it is not the best time to formally enter Wakanda. Only by letting that isolated African country truly come into the world's field of vision can Umbrella begin to exert his strength.

"Do you know the origin of Thanksgiving?"

While waiting for the turkey to come out of the oven, Sean jumped on the sofa, hugged his lazy and warm body in his arms, and said close to each other's ear, "In 1620, 102 Puritans Unable to bear the persecution and suppression of the Church of England, he came to America on the famous 'Mayflower'."

"They broke away from the control of the Church of England, left the Netherlands, and later decided to move to a barren land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, hoping to live a free life of religious belief according to their own wishes. When this group of people set foot on the land of America, it happened to be a severe winter. ..."

"Perhaps they believed in God and were blessed. They were helped by refugees and learned to hunt, fish and grow corn. Under the teachings of the Indians, the first generation of immigrants had a good harvest. According to religious traditions and customs, and to thank the Indians Sincere and selfless people, the Puritans decided to invite them to celebrate the festival."

Qin put her hands around Sean's neck and said with a delicate smile, "I've heard these stories since I was very young."

The young man kissed the other person's forehead, with a faint smile on his face, and changed the topic——

"I believe your parents will only tell the first half of the story, the Puritans and ninety Indians gathered together, fired a salute at dawn, marched into a house that was used as a church, and expressed their thanks to God devoutly, Then a bonfire was lit and a grand banquet was held, and the hunted turkeys were made into delicacies to entertain the Indians...they sang and danced, wrestled and raced, and carnivaled for three whole days!"

When Xiao En said this, his voice paused, he looked down at the beautiful girl in his arms, and continued: "Do you know what the total population of Indians was when Columbus discovered the 'New World of America'? 3000 million to 70 million Between them, by the 80s fewer than [-] Indians had been forced to scatter on 'reservations' in remote rural areas across the country."

The oven made a "ding" sound, and Sean picked up the piano from the sofa, gently placed it on the chair in front of the dining table, and brought out the golden-roasted turkey, and the tempting aroma permeated the air.

"I'm sorry for saying some inappropriate words. I just want you to know that when everyone is enjoying the festive atmosphere, you are not the only one who will feel out of place. After you have merged your personality, you may feel a little confused and overwhelmed. , but these are not important... because you can always find your own kind, such as me."

Sean could see that Qin's visit today was not a sudden whim. With the power of the phoenix, she would inevitably have a sense of isolation from the college. In such a huge city, perhaps only he could fully accept the dark side of the other party.

Qin, who was silent for a while, smiled. The reason why she chose not to stay at the mutant academy was because she felt that she was different from them. The Phoenix girl who gradually merged with the dark personality often fell into inexplicable self-doubt.

The reason why she got close to Xiao En, apart from the attraction of the Phoenix power in her body, may have something to do with her being able to feel the same complex and contradictory emotions in him.

"Don't look at me that way, at least until after the turkey." Sean raised his glass and said with a smile. "Tonight is still long..."

"Then, I want to be on top." Qin bit her red lips lightly, and drank the scarlet wine in one gulp.
