How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Xingyun quickly waved her hand and explained, "I'm serious! Sister Hongli looks really beautiful like this!"

"uh-huh?"

Hongli glanced at Xingyun: "Really?"

"I won't lie!"

"Well……"

Hongli turned to look at the relatives and friends at the table and asked cautiously, "Do you all think so too?"

"Of course."

"Xiao Li looks very pretty like this."

"Excellent."

"So beautiful!"

"so cute!"

"..."

“You guys…”

Hongli paused for a moment, pouted, then suddenly buried her head in her arms and hummed, "It's all just to comfort me, it's all fake, all fake!"

"This child..."

"Little Fire didn't lie to Mom!"

"real!"

"Ugh, I won't listen, I won't listen..."

Hongli immediately burys her head in the sand: "You're my closest friends, so the more you act like this, the less I can trust you. You're just trying to fool me!"

"Ah this..."

Everyone shook their heads and chuckled helplessly.

Hei Yang didn't say much, resting his chin on his hand and looking at his fiancée with an amused expression.

[Hongli: Hey, why aren't you comforting me!]

[Hei Yang: You're not unhappy at all. That expression and tone of yours are definitely a sign you're secretly pleased. You might even be hiding your face with your arm, a smile playing on your lips!]

[Hongli: Ah, this...]

Hong Li's upturned lips twitched slightly, as if she were embarrassed and angry.

[Hongli: You bastard, you...]

[Black Sun: Hmm? I guessed wrong?]

[Hongli: Tsk tsk tsk.]

[Black Sun: Ha, I knew it wouldn't go wrong!]

[Hongli: Oh right, really, couldn't you just pretend you didn't understand and comfort me a little?]

[Hongli: Damn it, am I really that easy to understand?]

[Black Sun: No, it's just that I understand you because I am Black Sun.]

[Hongli: Hmm, that's a good reason...]

[Hei Yang: But speaking of which, I feel you become more easily shy when you wear a skirt.]

[Hongli: Ah, this...]

[Hei Yang: That's right. Even though Xiao Li is a girl, our relationship before was more like that of good buddies.]

[Hei Yang: Right now, it feels more like a girl, more like a girlfriend.]

[Hongli: Uh, basically I'm saying, Hongli's good bro, why have you suddenly become so effeminate?]

[Hei Yang: Pfft, hahaha, you said that yourself, not me, hahaha!]

At the dinner table, Hei Yang suddenly lowered his head and trembled, causing the chair beneath him to creak.

This drew puzzled glances from relatives and friends, who wondered what illness had struck the child this time...

[Hongli: That's enough, is it that funny? I'm a girl, after all!]

[Hei Yang: No, no, why would I laugh at you? I wasn't laughing.]

[Hongli: Hehe, you've clearly been laughing the whole time!]

Hongli sighed, gently raised her head, expressionlessly tugged at her skirt, shook her head, and looked speechless.

[Hongli: I don't understand much about the others, but this is really troublesome. If I wasn't afraid of tearing my skirt, with my skills, how could I possibly have fallen!]

[Hei Yang: Ahem, should I comfort her with "Oh, silly little Li is cute too," or should I mock her with "Heh, you idiot?"]

[Hongli: Ugh, don't be so awkward, just call me idiot...]

[Black Sun: What kind of request is that? Hehehe... But it suits me perfectly.]

Hongli: ...

[Hong Li: Wow, how could I have fallen for a piece of trash like you? If there weren't other people around, I would have punched you twice already.]

[Hei Yang: Tsk tsk, it's not certain who'll beat whom up!]

However, Hei Yang tilted his head back, stretched lazily, and let out a long sigh.

"So, why aren't the dads here yet?!"

Hei Yang sighed, "The food's getting cold. We can't wait until everyone else has finished eating before we even get here to eat, can we?"

"Then when we were eating, everyone gathered around us, watching us eat with serious expressions."

Hongli peeked out, imagining that scene.

Wow, as expected of Senior Sister Hongli, even her actions while eating a peanut are so unfathomable!

[Oh ho! Look at those two chopsticks, they're like spears for slaying dragons, sharp blades for redemption!]

[Look, Senior Sister Hongli's trembling movements definitely contain some kind of advanced movement technique!]

[Senior Sister Hongli drinks water with the power to swallow the sun and spit out the moon!]

[Senior Sister Hongli's coughing was just a symptom; that coughing sound was actually a long-lost musical magic...]

"Hiss... What am I thinking...?"

Hongli was terrified by the scene she had imagined. If her mother hadn't been at the dinner table, she would have been cursing.

"What kind of human suffering is that!"

Hongli is questioning the meaning of life.

"otherwise……"

Qing Yiyi paused, looked at Xiao Huo Gaga, and frowned, saying, "Let the children start eating first..."

Before he could finish speaking, two figures squeezed in from outside the door.

"I'm so sorry, my wife and kids have been waiting for me. Phew..."

Hei Muguang and Hong Xiaochen sat down, panting, and explained.

"Today is the last day of the year, so I might as well work with the city lord to deal with all the troublesome matters..."

"After tonight, it will be a new year with a new look!"

"alright."

Qing Yiyi and Lan Yuying shook their heads helplessly.

"That's a legitimate reason. Everyone's here, so let's eat. We've all been starving."

"That's true."

Hongli stretched out her chopsticks and rushed towards the large piece of beef she had been eyeing for a long time!

"click"

The chopsticks were blocked by other chopsticks. Hei Yang and Hong Li exchanged a surprised glance, then quickly nodded. They tore the large piece of beef in half and split it equally between them.

Normally, they wouldn't give in so quickly, but there are still many targets on the table, and there's no need to waste time on a mere piece of beef.

Instead of wasting time on this, you might as well go after something else!

This is the cutthroat competition, deceit, and alliances that take place at the dinner table!

There are no permanent allies, only permanent interests!

One second your teammates are attacking a plate together, the next second they might snatch the dish you want from you. It's impossible to guard against!

In this situation, without superb dining skills, one might not even last a few minutes before the food on the table is devoured!

In an instant, the table was filled with the shadows of chopsticks. The two families, Hei and Hong, were clearly at ease in this situation. Even though Aunt Hongling had been away from home for a long time, she had still received professional training!

"Ok?"

Xingyun turned her head left and right, looking bewildered as everyone's demeanor changed instantly, their eyes sharp and their actions ruthless. Her eyes lit up immediately.
