I would rather reverse my biological clock and do it for a whole year than work in two or three shifts. This will disrupt my biological clock and cause great harm to my body. Every time I work in a shift, I feel drowsy and uncomfortable.

It was no problem for Elodie to work all night here, but for Lan Jiajia...

"Okay, thank you Sister Jiajia, we will go back first."

After waving goodbye to Lan Jiajia and Elodie, Xiaomo and I went downstairs and walked out of the coffee shop, carrying our little rabbit backpacks.

Philo and Gabriel, two night owls who were used to the city life on Earth, flew away as soon as they left the coffee shop. Xiaomo and I, as usual, walked together on a tree-lined night road, and then flew into the sky with Xiaomo holding me, and flew to the Minami Nagi Tower on the seashore, which was far away from the coffee shop.

"Old woman, are you here to play again?"

"Grandpa, have you eaten?"

After sitting down on the top of the tower, after a while, I heard the voices of Grandma Zhou Xiaofei and the elderly people working at the Nannai Tower coming from the bottom of the tower.

"Eat it. If you don't eat it at this time, my child will starve to death."

Zhou Xiaofei's grandmother walked up to the old man and handed him a bag: "We planted some..."

The old man just glanced at the things in Grandma Zhou Xiaofei's bag and interrupted her: "What are you doing? I have plenty here. Take it back, take it back."

"Take it!"

Grandma Zhou Xiaofei forcefully stuffed the bag into the old man's hands: "My daughter just came back from work today and brought a lot of money. You are alone here and your pension is so low, don't be polite to me..."

Then the two old men went into the tower, talking and laughing.

"Noel."

Xiaomo beside her patted her thigh and said, "Come on."

I hesitated for a moment, but finally lay down.

"It feels like these thousands of years are just a moment, like a dream..."

After I lay on Xiaomo's thighs, the girl on me gently untied the hairband I used to fix my hair, letting my hair fall to the ground like flowers: "Sometimes I always have an illusion that my efforts over the past few thousand years only exist in fantasy. In fact, we failed in the war that year, and I was not able to... meet you."

"Fantasy?"

I looked up at the girl above me: "Xiaomo, do you mean that I am just an illusion you created now?"

"I do not know."

The girl smiled bitterly: "Maybe a few thousand years is indeed a long time, so long that I don't believe that the war can be won."

I was silent for a moment. "But Filo Gabriel and the others adapted very well, as did Yueyue and Dolly."

"Yeah, that's why I said this all feels like a dream, not a real dream."

"Xiaomo hopes this is a dream?"

"do not wish."

The girl shook her head. "How should I put it? I... I may just be too happy. I can work and rest with you like this every day, and chat under the moonlight like this. This was something I could never have imagined during the war. I thought it was impossible several times. It is impossible to find the lost souls..."

"Is that why Xiaomo doesn't like to laugh?"

"Ok?"

"We have known each other for such a long time, and Xiaomo has always given me the impression of a serious older sister. Even when she smiles, it is only a shallow arc."

I turned over a little and looked at the sea in front of me: "It seems that I have never seen you look particularly happy."

"That may be because I'm... used to it."

"Don't you like to laugh?"

"That's not the case. It's just that the war back then..."

"War is too serious to be happy?"

"That's it."

"Um……"

I turned around again: "I have never experienced the war, and I can't remember what it was like back then. Maybe it's just like what you said, Xiaomo. I'm just a child under 30 years old. I don't have much say in major events that span thousands of years..."

"Not really. Nuoer, you being able to accompany me like this is already..."

"I know that those thousands of years of memories have put a great burden on Xiaomo."

I interrupted the girl and said, "Is this also the reason why Xiaomo suggested going on a trip together at the end of the month?"

"I just……"

Yin Xiamo obviously hesitated for a moment: "Seeing that you are alone at home every day, busy with work and study, working during the day, writing books at night, and learning so many things in your free time, I am worried that you may be too tired..."

"Humans are like this. They cry when they want to cry and laugh when they want to laugh..."

Lying on Xiaomo's thighs, I stretched out my hands to the girl on top of me: "Come on, lower your head a little."

"what?"

Although she looked a little confused, Xiaomo still bent down slightly.

I took the opportunity to hug her neck and forcefully pressed down the head of the person I loved, and then I stood up slightly.

"Well……"

Under the moonlight, we kissed each other.

This is one of the few times I kissed Xiaomo when I was sober.

We were on the top of Minami Nagi Tower, on the platform above the tallest building around. I put my arms around Xiaomo's shoulders and neck, hugging her tightly, as if she were a piece of fragile porcelain.

Usually in private occasions, Filo Gabriel and Duoli Yueyue are accustomed to calling Xiaomo "Momo", but Xiaomo has accepted me calling her "Xiaomo" instead of "Momo" from the beginning.

Logically speaking, this is the body of the most powerful warrior from another world.

The strongest spearman, the strongest lightning mage, and also the god of death in this world.

However, this warrior is also a girl.

Her neck is just like mine, soft, and her skin is tender and smooth. When I hold Xiaomo in my arms, my nose is always filled with fragrance.

"Um……"

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Xiaomo seemed to be confused as to why I kissed her at this time. It took her a while to come back to her senses: "Why...why so suddenly?"

"I'm just a little angry about you saying I was an illusion, Xiaomo."

I put on an expression that said, "I can't be appeased any more." "Do you still think I'm hallucinating?"

"no……"

The girl in front of him was a little embarrassed: "I was just looking at the moonlight here and was inspired. Of course I know that Nuo'er really exists. This is a kind of... in your words, it is an exaggerated rhetoric, vividly describing the current situation and paving the way for Nuo'er's kiss in the following text."

"I knew you did it on purpose."

I snorted softly, sat up, and stretched. "How about we not go back to cook tonight, and go for a walk in the city like Filo and the others?"

"then you……"

Xiaomo was a little curious: "Are you not going to write novels anymore?"

"I've saved a lot of manuscripts these days, so it's okay to take a day off occasionally."

I took the initiative to walk behind Xiaomo and climbed onto her back.

"Let's go."

"..."

……

No, 330 half moon, I am proud of my beautiful

Although Xiaomo and I agreed not to eat at home tonight and planned to go for a walk in the city, we still went to the nearby vegetable market before leaving, bought a fish and carrots, and then returned home to cook dinner for Duoli and Yueyue.

The two little ones have been busy all day, and if there is no hot food when they get home, I always feel that Xiaomo and I, as the "landlords", are a little bit unkind.

This is how we basically spent the past two weeks - Duoli and Yueyue had to deliver takeout and came back very late every day. If Lan Jiajia came home first, she would cook dinner for us. After Xiaomo and I finished eating, we would take a short rest and then I would prepare dinner for Duoli and Yueyue.

Although Ouyang Xue made a special promise about the meals for the two little ones: as long as they are hungry, they can eat whatever is in the store, and if there is nothing, they can just ask Master Wang to cook. Dolly and Yueyue are magicians from another world, so theoretically they won't starve to death, but I still insist on having them cook dinner every day.

Dolly's evening meals are the easiest to prepare. She loves to eat fruits and vegetables the most, and those that are almost ripe are the best. According to her, it is best to go directly to the market to buy carrots and cucumbers, wash them and eat them without any additional cooking methods.

For Dolly, heating vegetables will destroy a lot of nutrients in them, and she even likes to eat green vegetables raw.

So far, Dolly's favorite vegetables are carrots, cucumbers, and lettuce, which we often use when making hamburgers. Her favorite fruits are apples, grapes, and dragon fruit. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner, it's always a good idea to prepare a lot of washed vegetables and fruits for her.

Yueyue is the complete opposite. This little cat girl likes fish and meat, so it takes a little more time to prepare her food.

"Put the tomatoes I just cut into the meat grinder. Put them all in. Start the machine for 3 minutes. Then give me the tomato paste."

I prepared Dolly's vegetable set meal in the kitchen. I cleaned the gutted fish I bought from the supermarket, put it in the steamer, set the timer, stuffed some ginger into the fish's belly, poured some cooking wine, and said to Xiaomo next to me.

"Put it all in?"

Xiaomo was obviously still a little resistant to cooking. She looked at the tomato pieces in front of her, collected them in a hurry and poured them into the blender.

"Yes, put them all in, and press the stirring switch for three minutes, or two minutes, until you see that all the tomatoes are broken down."

I was wearing an apron, standing on a small stool, and tiptoed to take down a few cans of fish from above the kitchen. I tore them open, poured the fish meat into a small plate, put it into the steamer together with the fish, and set the timer.

After going through so many things, I realized that Xiaomo was not unable to cook, but was just "unwilling" to cook.

At first I thought she got into big trouble when she was learning magic or was naughty while cooking, but later I realized that the reason why Xiaomo had never learned to cook was because the hero said, "When you can cook, it means you have learned how to take care of yourself, and then we should separate."

The brave man once said this.

He knew that if the little devil followed him, he would surely fall into an abyss from which there would be no escape.

So he should be planning to teach Xiaomo human language, teach her how to live independently, teach her magic, teach her how to cook, and then leave.

This is the best ending for the hero and the little devil - this is probably what the hero thinks.

Because... normal people would seem to think so. At that time, demons and humans were incompatible and irreconcilable. If Xiaomo continued to follow the hero, various accidents would likely occur in the future.

However, the hero never expected that Xiaomo was so stubborn that she refused to learn how to cook and followed the hero with various excuses for nearly a thousand years until the hero died.

Maybe in Xiaomo's heart... cooking has always been a knot in her heart.

"Xiaomo can also do this if he wants to eat steamed fish in the future."

While Xiaomo was making tomato sauce in the mini blender, I explained my steamed fish dish to her.

"Most markets in southern cities will help you process the fish's internal organs. After you buy the fish, they will slice or shred the ginger and stuff it inside the fish and between the cuts."

I pointed at the fish body that had been slashed several times in front and said, "The main function of ginger is to remove the fishy smell. If you are too lazy, you can also use cooking wine. Pour a little cooking wine, then chop the tomatoes and pour them on with the soy sauce."

The small meat grinder that Xiaomo uses is the one we bought online before. It only cost more than 30 yuan and can be used for a long time on a single charge. It is about the size of a small can and can be used to stir and chop smaller pieces of meat and tomatoes. It is also very useful for making garlic, chili sauce, etc.

I have been using this little thing to cut garlic these days. Now as a little girl, my wrist strength is too weak. Others just use a kitchen knife to chop garlic twice, but I can't do that. I have to chop it many times because I don't have enough strength.

In the end, I simply bought this small meat grinder that is specifically for making garlic paste. It can cut garlic as well as peppers and tomatoes, and is very useful for making seasonings.

"All right."

After a while, Xiaomo finished cutting the tomatoes and brought them over: "Do you want to pour it in directly?"

"Ah."

I held up the soy sauce bottle: "You pour first."

Xiaomo carefully poured the ketchup on the fish, and I poured the soy sauce behind it so that the ketchup could be evenly spread in the middle of the fish.

Finally, I sprinkled some chopped green onions on the fish and set the timer.

"drop."

"That's about it. When Duoli Yueyue and the others come back later, the fish will be ready too."

I glanced at the rice cooker next to me which was showing the cooking function and began to take off my apron.

I also learned how to make this "steamed fish with tomatoes" from the orphanage. When we were young, our director often made it this way for us children.

There are many fish ponds around the medicinal plant garden. Occasionally, when we have nothing to do, the garden will organize a huge spring outing-like activity. Older children can go fishing under the supervision of the caregivers, and then come back to make steamed fish for dinner.

I kept this recipe in mind until I grew up: for a fish, stuff the sliced ​​ginger into the fish's belly, chop the tomatoes and pour them over the fish along with the soy sauce. No other ingredients are needed. After the fish is steamed, add some chopped green onions and you can eat it.

At that time, the sauce mixed with ketchup and soy sauce under the fish body will become the most delicious dipping sauce for fish. Pick up a piece of fish, add a little sauce, and you will enjoy the endless aftertaste.
