America: A Prodigy of Stereotypes

Wade waved a black bank card at Li Qun; it was the "legendary" Black Panther Card from the Wakanda National Bank.

“This doesn’t count as a Christmas present,” Li Qun said.

“There’s nothing I can do about it, I’m broke. Am I supposed to use Peter’s own money to buy himself a Christmas present?” Wade asked Li Qun.

“Wade, you can give Peter a Christmas card with your wishes written on it,” the old man said to Wade.

"Dad..."

Wade turned to look at his father, who was writing a Christmas card. He'd mail it tomorrow; the recipient should receive it before Christmas.

"Dad, who are you writing a greeting card for?" Li Qun asked curiously.

“He’s a friend of Dad’s,” Dad replied with a smile.

"You're not allowed to peek."

The old man blocked Liqun's view with his body.

"I won't look." Li Qun walked away from his father.

The television screen lit up, and Peter's midnight outdoor live broadcast began again.

While wrapping gifts, Li Qun watched Peter's Midnight Operation on the magic television.

“It’s a pity we can’t make a suitable mask for Peter,” Li Qun said.

“The mask is the hardest part for Peter; he hasn’t figured out what image he should present to the world,” Dr. Banner said.

Chapter 267 Official Gift

"Ding dong~!"

Li Qun rang the doorbell of the White family's house and waited for Stephanie to open the door.

Who's outside the door?

“It’s us,” Peter answered loudly.

"Wait a moment."

Li Qun and Peter waited on the porch for two minutes before Walter Jr. opened the door.

Good morning, Walter.

Li Qun and Peter, as if copied and pasted, raised their hands to greet little Walter.

"Oh, Liqun, why are you dressed as Santa Claus?"

“I tell this joke every year: Santa Claus is a person from Aurora,” Li Qun said to Little Walter.

"I've brought Christmas presents."

Li Qun put down the large red cloth bag on his shoulder and took out the Christmas gift he had prepared for little Walter from the bag.

"Let me see, this is what Peter gave you, this is what I prepared."

"Thank you."

"Let's open it and take a look."

While Little Walter was unwrapping his presents, Li Qun found a Christmas gift for Stephanie in the bag.

"A teacup?!"

"A book?"

The teacup was a gift from Li Qun, and the book was a gift from Peter.

"Radio Station Skills: From Beginner to Expert"?

Little Walter looked up at Peter, and Peter and Li Qun exchanged a smile.

“Peter and I both have amateur radio licenses. It’s a very niche hobby, and Peter wants to get you involved,” Li Qun said to Little Walter.

I will give it a try.

“This teacup looks very valuable,” Little Walter said, holding the teacup in both hands and examining it.

"It's just that you can't buy it here. In Aurora, the Mandarin sells these porcelains."

Little Walter nodded, saying that one day he would go to Aurora to see if it was really available everywhere.

Stephanie came down from her bedroom upstairs, and it was clear she had been putting on makeup for the past few minutes.

“I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly. I thought you would be here in half an hour,” Stephanie said.

"There were very few cars on the road today, and the journey was smooth."

"Merry Christmas."

Li Qun took out the Christmas gifts he had prepared from the cloth bag.

"Give it to me now?" Stephanie asked.

“On the way here, Peter and I suddenly thought, since we’re already at your house, why don’t we just give you the gifts directly? That way we won’t have to carry them all the way around Harry’s house,” Li Qun said.

"Let me see what it is?"

Stephanie sat down at the table and began to unwrap her Christmas presents. She glanced at little Walter's Christmas present.

"I guess Li Qun gave a ceramic mug, and Peter gave that book."

"Will mine be the same?" Stephanie laughed.

Stephanie opened the Christmas gift Liqun had given her; inside was a beautiful ceramic plate.

“I have to tell my mom to be careful not to break it,” Stephanie said.

Stephanie opened the gift Peter had given her; inside the gift box was a landscape photography collection, or rather, a book.

"very nice."

Stephanie took the gifts upstairs and put the plates and photography collection in the bedroom.

"let's go."

"Are you leaving little Walter alone at home? What will he do for lunch?" Li Qun asked Stephanie, looking at little Walter.

"Can I come with you?"

"Are you sure you want to come with us for our study session?" Stephanie asked, looking at Walter.

Little Walter hesitated.

“I think he wants to go, Peter, could you help him out?”

Peter laughed as he picked up little Walter, carried him out of the house, opened the car door, and put him in the car.

Li Qun went to little Walter's bedroom, helped him with his schoolbag, and also brought his folding wheelchair.

Stephanie got into the car and sat next to Walter Jr.

“You guys are really fast; he hasn’t even agreed yet,” Stephanie said.

"Stephanie, have you told your mother if you're coming home for dinner tonight?" Li Qun asked.

“I already said I’m not coming home for dinner. Now we have to add little Walter to that list,” Stephanie said.

"What's Peter's Christmas present? Did he keep it at home like we do?" Stephanie asked curiously.

“It’s tea,” Peter replied.

Peter carried the Christmas gift Dr. Banner gave him in his backpack, intending to read the book carefully when he visited Harry's house.

“The tea I gave Peter last year is all gone. This time it’s a different kind of tea, and the flavor is distinctly different,” Li Qun said.

“Two-thirds of it was drunk by Uncle Ben and Aunt May; they absolutely loved the tea you gave them,” Peter said.

The traffic was smooth on the way to Harry's house, and they arrived at the Osborne family mansion in less than an hour. When they parked, Li Qun saw Gwen's car; Gwen had arrived earlier than them.

After getting off the bus, Peter put little Walter in a wheelchair and pushed him around, while Li Qun, dressed as Santa Claus with a large red sack on his back, stood at the door to greet them.

“Ha, Santa Claus!!” Harry laughed, pointing at Li Qun.

"Harry, are you a good boy?"

"Of course!"

"Peter, do you need help?"

"need."

Harry and Peter worked together to lift the wheelchair and carry little Walter upstairs into Harry's room.

The moment Walter hesitated before leaving home was because he was worrying about this kind of thing; he always had to ask someone for help after he left.

"Gwen, how long have you been here?"

Gwen was reading a book when she looked up at Li Qun as he walked in.

“It wasn’t too long, maybe ten minutes.” Gwen glanced at her watch.

"Are you dressed as Santa Claus? You're all in red, all you're missing is the white beard."

"It's time to send the gift out."

Li Qun put down the red cloth bag and began taking things out one by one.

Harry's bedroom floor was completely carpeted, and Li Qun sat directly on the carpet.

"This is yours, Harry."

"This is from Peter, Harry."

Harry sat down on the carpet and started unwrapping his gifts right next to Lillian.

"Liqun, is this a Chinese cookbook?"

“It’s a Chinese cookbook written by a British author, but it’s not entirely a cookbook; it also includes her daily life as a student studying abroad,” Li Qun explained.

“It’s in English, that’s great,” Harry joked.

“Peter, why did you give me a puzzle? Will I ever be able to put it together in my lifetime?” Harry looked up with a smile.

“One day you’ll suddenly find it and put it back together,” Peter said with a smile.
