Marvel: Saint Seiya Starting with the Reality Stone.

When Heidi picked him up at the airport, she immediately drove towards the farm where they had purchased Christmas supplies last year.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she watched Mike carry the Christmas tree from the back seat of the car back to the living room and place it next to the fireplace.

Heidi crossed her arms, admiring the Christmas tree in front of the fireplace, then looked at Mike standing to the side: "This Christmas tree looks a bit fatter than last year's?"

"You can help it lose weight."

Mike shrugged and answered, then looked at Heidi: "So, my dear sister, can I rest now? I just flew back from Norway and I'm still jet-lagged."

Heidi's gaze remained fixed on the Christmas tree, pondering how to decorate it this year, while replying to Mike, "Go ahead, I washed your sheets and blankets yesterday. After you wake up tomorrow, we'll go to the warehouse to buy other things."

Before Heidi could finish speaking, Mike had already turned and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

However, the facts also proved one thing.

That is, if someone in a home is very enthusiastic about various festivals and loves to decorate for them, then that home will definitely be filled with the feeling of home.

Similarly, even if a family has few members, on a holiday, the festive atmosphere in that family will be no less than that in other families.

Previously, it was the foster mother, Mennie, who was in charge of all this in this family; now it is Heidi who is in charge.

Like her adoptive mother Meni, Heidi also prepared a sumptuous feast on Christmas Day.

The roast turkey on the table was bright red.

The colors are vibrant and they look very appetizing.

But this is actually an illusion.

It tastes very dry and tough.

Regardless of Heidi's cooking skills—in fact, Heidi was a very good cook—there must be a reason why no one in this mysterious Eastern country likes to eat turkey.

After quickly clearing the snow outside the house, Mike returned inside and his eyes lit up when he saw the delicious food on the table: "Didn't we agree last Christmas that we wouldn't make so much for Christmas anymore? The two of us can't finish it."

After Heidi brought the last salad to the table, she looked at Mike.

"I have thought about it."

"Then?"

"I've decided to make this much anyway. If you can't finish it, you can find a girlfriend to help you when you go home next year."

"..."

53. Skye, who has alien genes!

Just like all children who return home for the holidays are urged by their elders to find girlfriends if they don't have one, get married if they do, and have children if they are married.

Heidi's urging had come as soon as Heidi sat down in her high chair, before she even had a chance to pick up her knife and fork.

Mike looked up at Heidi, without even a hint of surprise in his eyes.

after all--

In the past, it was the adoptive mother, Mennie, who said this at Christmas; now it's the half-sister, Heidi.

Mike didn't even need to think before he blurted out the appropriate response.

"I will work hard."

"Eat quickly."

Heidi didn't press the matter further. Instead, she met Mike's gaze and smiled, saying, "If Mom were here, she would definitely ask the same question. So, I feel like this Christmas wouldn't be perfect if I didn't ask."

Mike looked at the smile on Heidi's lips and his own lips twitched slightly: "Then you should bring a boyfriend back next year too."

Heidi raised an eyebrow.

Seeing this, Mike quickly said, "If Mom were here, she would definitely say the same thing."

That's all.

The two looked at each other.

Heidi's smile faded, and she raised the glass of red wine that was placed to the side: "To Mom."

Mike also picked up his whiskey and clinked glasses with Heidi across from him: "To Mom."

The two smiled and drank their wine in one gulp.

Heidi then asked Mike about the interesting things that happened during his trip to Norway, and Mike also asked about Heidi's life and work while he was not in New York.

The campfire burned slowly in the fireplace, and the occasional sound of laughter from two people could be heard from the restaurant.

The procedure after dinner was the same as usual.

After Heidi finished clearing the table, she went to the kitchen bar, sat down on a bar stool, and watched Mike taking on the washing tasks at the sink.

Just then.

Because she had drunk some red wine, Heidi, who was resting her chin on her hand, suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Mike, have you spoken to that Skyker agent on the phone recently?"

“Mary?”

Mike, who was washing dishes, glanced at the phone and nodded, saying, "I called yesterday, on Christmas Eve. How did it go?"

Heidi was curious when she heard this.

"Didn't you know? She didn't tell you?"

Tell me what?

"She almost died a while ago."

Heidi said in a low voice, "After the incident, she was rushed to the medical pod at the center, but the doctors there could only do their best to maintain her vital signs. In the end, she survived, supposedly because Agent Coulson saved her. Didn't you know about this?"

Mike, who had just finished cleaning the sink, pulled out a tissue to wipe the water from his hands as he listened to Heidi's news. He shook his head: "No, I don't know. Mary didn't tell me."

Heidi shrugged when she heard this: "You should care about her, after all, she's your only female friend."

Only God knows how relieved Heidi was when she learned that Skye was Mike's female friend.

She was especially relieved after Mike also acknowledged this.

Because so far, Skye is Mike's only definite friend.

Focus.

She's a female friend.

The most important thing.

Who says female friends can't become girlfriends?

Although Mike has made it clear that he only considers Skye a childhood friend.

but……

There's no right answer when it comes to feelings. Maybe as time goes on, the word "girlfriend" or "friend" might erase the other word altogether.

That's what Heidi thought.

Mike wouldn't reveal the real reason why he and Skye could never be together, because no matter what, saying that reason would always make the other person feel uncomfortable.

However, when Heidi mentioned Skye's injury, he recalled that Skye had indeed experienced a near-death experience in the story, but was eventually recovered thanks to the GH-325 serum made from Kree blood.

However, while the GH-325 serum, made from Kree blood, has the power to bring people back to life, it also has powerful side effects.

People who have been brought back to life by this GH-325 serum will subsequently suffer from polydipsia and other serious side effects.

However, Skye has no side effects.

Because Skye also carries some Kree genes, for Skye, injecting GH-325 serum is equivalent to a blood transfusion between people of the same race.

However, Skye is not a Kree.

She is an extraordinary person.

This is a race created by the Kree after they came to Earth a very, very long time ago, experimenting on humans and editing their genes.

The Kree originally created the Inhumans to be used as weapons, but for some reason, they left Earth. However, the Inhumans did not disappear; instead, they survived.

Skye was a member of the Inhumans, but she herself was unaware of this.

because--

"Jiaying!"

"what?"

"Ok?"

Mike snapped out of his daze and looked at Heidi, who was leaning on the bar and watching him.

Heidi frowned and asked, "What did you just say?"

Mike blinked. "What I'm trying to say is, I already have someone in mind when it comes to girlfriends. Skye and I are not a possibility, so..."

Before Mike could finish speaking, Heidi excitedly stood up: "Who is it? Where are they from? Do they have a Social Security number?"

Mike looked at Heidi's excited face and chuckled, "I'm not telling you, so don't rush me. Maybe I really can bring her back for Christmas next year."

He has no goals whatsoever.

But in order to avoid Heidi worrying about his love life, that was all he could say.

Every year we can postpone it is a year better than nothing.

We'll talk about next year's matters next Christmas.

After Mike finished speaking, he said goodnight to Heidi and then walked towards the stairs.

Heidi snapped out of her daze and looked at Mike, who had already gone up the stairs.

"Then hurry up and bring it home next Christmas."

"it is good!"

Mike raised his hand without turning his head, and then disappeared at the top of the stairs.

Well known.

Time always flies during holidays. In the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays are over, and we have entered 2014 from 2013.
