When it was noon, after everyone had some snacks to fill their stomachs, Grandma Connie and Mary led the girls to the kitchen to prepare the Christmas dinner for the evening.
As for Mike and the other two men, they continued decorating the large Christmas tree in the center of the living room with the remaining children, adorning it with shiny gold stars.
As night fell, the villa, already decorated like a castle, became even more like a fairyland after the colorful lights were lit up one after another.
Meanwhile, the room was filled with the aroma of food, including roast turkey, apple pie, and roast meat.
Let's raise a toast to the holiday!
Mike raised his glass, while the others picked up their glasses of red wine, champagne, or juice.
……
"Next, please enjoy the Christmas carol performance brought to you by our stunningly beautiful lady!"
After they had eaten their fill, Regina took her two friends to the open space specially cleared in front of the big Christmas tree, ready to sing their hit song, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas."
The girls released a new album this year, which also sold very well. However, what they love most is still the Christmas song that Mike wrote specifically for them before they became famous.
Amidst the applause, Mike turned off the main light in the room and replaced it with a softer, more festive light.
Then, to the soft strains of music, the three girls from the Devil Body Group sang their hit song once again.
It has to be said that in the past year, the three girls have grown a lot in terms of both their stage presence and singing skills.
Next, the supermodel captain Regina gave Mike a special performance of Romeo and Juliet.
This song was also a transformation song that Mike specially made for the three girls of the Devil Body Group, and it was included in the girls' new album this year.
The sweet, country-style love song became an instant hit with young people upon its release.
Mike walked up and gave the girl a hug after she finished her heartfelt performance.
"Now, please enjoy the magic show performed by magician Mike. My assistant, Peggy, could you please bring up the props..."
After some interaction, the three girls from the "Devil Body Group" stepped off the stage, while Mike stayed on stage and began his "performance."
With his "power of transformation," he is indeed very suitable for performing magic tricks.
Immediately afterwards, Peggy, dressed in a cartoon magician's outfit, walked onto the stage carrying a tray.
The tray was filled with common magic props such as top hats, white gloves, and canes.
Accompanied by the dim stage lights, Mike, wearing white gloves, first performed a dove act using a top hat, and then performed a ribbon trick and a magic trick where people disappear into thin air.
Finally, there was the high-difficulty card-throwing performance.
"This is impossible...it doesn't conform to Newton's principles at all..."
While everyone cheered and applauded the amazing magic show, Sheldon Jr. raised some questions.
Believing in science, he couldn't understand how Mike could make the playing cards float in the air and form various images and formations against gravity.
Of course, Sheldon's untimely questioning went unnoticed amidst the enthusiastic atmosphere.
Merry Christmas!
Finally, Mike gathered the playing cards that had been fluttering like butterflies back into his hand, gave a graceful slight bow, and ended his "magic" performance.
Next, Connie's grandmother, in high spirits, pulled John on stage to sing two classic nostalgic old songs.
In an instant, the villa seemed to have turned into a private concert, where anyone who didn't know what to perform could take turns going up and singing a song.
Of course, this does not include the dull Sheldon.
"Mike, how did you do that?" Sheldon, who had been sitting calmly and completely out of place with the joyful atmosphere, finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
"What? How did you do that?" Mike asked, feigning ignorance. Then, he held out his hand so that Sheldon could see it clearly. Suddenly, a playing card appeared out of thin air in his hand.
"This is impossible! It doesn't conform to the laws of physics at all..." Young Sheldon examined the playing cards up and down closely, but he couldn't find any trace of cheating, which made his expression turn to surprise.
"How about this?" Mike pretended to use magic and moved his five fingers. Then the thin playing card in his hand slowly became three-dimensional and finally turned into a brand new toy car.
"Do you want this Transformers car, or do you want to know the principle behind my magic trick?" Mike continued to tempt him with a smile. "If you want to know the principle behind the magic trick, then this toy car will disappear."
"Truth" or toy car, that is the question.
Young Sheldon's brows furrowed in worry.
"Alright, this is my Christmas present for you, it's real. Now, it's yours." Mike didn't challenge young Sheldon's understanding any further, and after a mischievous stunt, he shoved the toy car into his hands.
However, Mike wasn't lying; the toy car was indeed a gift he bought from the supermarket, and he had simply used his "Transformation Power" to turn it into a playing card.
"This, this really is a Transformers toy..." Little Sheldon stared blankly at the toy car in his hands, once again caught in a dilemma.
……
Chapter 426 Christmas Eve (Continued)
Meanwhile, on this cozy Christmas Eve, in an affluent neighborhood not far from Wall Street, eight-year-old Kevin is alone, looking at his cold and deserted house with worry.
This year, the family had planned to travel together for Christmas, which is common in Apple City.
However, when the whole family left home in the morning, little Kevin suddenly needed to use the restroom and was forgotten at home by his careless parents.
By the time Kevin chased after them, his parents and sister had already driven away.
"Sigh... I hope Dad and Mom can come back soon..."
Kevin found a piece of holiday cake in the refrigerator to fill his stomach, blew out the candles, and made his Christmas wish.
But God didn't seem to notice the poor child. Just as little Kevin was about to eat his cake, he keenly heard the sound of someone picking the lock at the front door.
"Oh no... oh no..."
Realizing something was wrong, Kevin quickly turned off the small light in the living room and tiptoed to the home phone.
Although the child was young, he was very clever and immediately thought of the legend of breaking into a house on Christmas.
So, he now wants to call the police.
"Beep beep~ Your phone number is out of credit. Please pay the bill and call again..."
To make matters worse, Kevin's careless parents forgot to pay the phone bill this month.
Meanwhile, two not-so-bright-looking thieves at the door pried open the house that appeared to be empty.
These thieves took advantage of people's desire to travel with their families during Christmas, choosing this day to break into homes.
"What a thief!"
As Kevin pressed the phone button, he saw the figures of two thieves at the door in the dim moonlight.
After the initial panic, the little guy cleverly scurried back into the kitchen.
"Mom and Dad aren't here, I need to protect our belongings... but how?" Calming down, Kevin thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "I've got it!"
As the two thieves ransacked Kevin's house, Kevin found a large amount of cooking oil and honey, sticky and slippery liquids, in the kitchen.
Finally, he evenly sprinkled the liquid at the kitchen entrance, testing it to the point where people could slip and fall. Then, Kevin deliberately made some noise in the kitchen.
"Someone's in the kitchen..."
"Maybe it's a rat..."
The two thieves, feeling guilty and with very sensitive nerves, were startled when they heard the noise in the kitchen.
However, in the end, the two decided to go check out the kitchen.
Then they saw little Kevin waving at them from the kitchen.
"It's a kid, grab him, don't let him call the police..."
The two thieves conspired and charged at Kevin simultaneously. In their eyes, he was just a child, easy to deal with.
Then, with two cries of "Ouch!", the two thieves slipped and tumbled awkwardly in front of Kevin.
“Ding~ding~”
Kevin first fooled the two thieves with an innocent smile, then pulled out a frying pan from behind his back and slammed it into each of their heads.
Amidst the curses, Kevin tiptoed carefully around the thief and escaped from the kitchen, then locked the kitchen door behind him.
Then, Kevin, who had just escaped the house, heard laughter coming from a luxurious villa not far away.
……
Not long after, Mike, who was enjoying the dance performance of two girls, Jessie and Carly, in the luxurious villa, heard a soft knock on the door downstairs.
Then the knocking grew louder and louder.
"What's wrong, Mike?" Peggy asked quietly when she noticed the man was lost in thought.
"Nothing, it sounds like someone is knocking on the door downstairs," Mike replied.
"Hmm? You invited other guests today?" Since it was Christmas Eve, Peggy's first thought was that guests were knocking on the door.
"It shouldn't be, I'll go down and take a look." Although Mike has many abilities, he is not omnipotent or omniscient.
After giving Peggy a reassuring look, he got up and walked downstairs. Seeing this, the aloof Neydy, who was alone nearby, followed him.
"You are...Home Alone?" Mike opened the door and saw the little guy who was knocking on the door anxiously.
In this situation, Mike naturally didn't mind finding out what the other party was thinking, and thus learned the whole story.
“I’m not kid, I’m Kevin, I live over there… Two burglars broke into my house, so could I borrow your phone to call the police for me?”
Perhaps it was Mike's appearance and demeanor that made him so "approachable" that Kevin blurted out all his experiences and requests.
"The police?" Mike didn't want the police to disturb his Christmas Eve, so he took out two handfuls of candy with ribbons and handed them to the little guy, saying confidently, "This might help you."
"No, I'm not a child asking for candy, I really encountered bad people..." Before Kevin could continue explaining, the door to the luxurious villa had already closed. Only the words "Have a wonderful Christmas!" remained.
Meanwhile, Mike, having resolved a minor problem, returned to the second floor with the aloof Nydy.
"Who's knocking?" Peggy asked curiously as she saw the man return so quickly.
“A child who came asking for candy,” Mike replied.
"Are you sure?" Peggy asked back. After all, it was Christmas, a day for families to get together, not Halloween. What kind of kids would come out so late to play tricks and ask for candy?
“I’m here for candy.” Mike gave the girl a reassuring look.
"Whatever!" Peggy, unable to get a straight answer, didn't press the matter. She changed the subject, saying, "When are you planning to leave for Genovia? What will happen to Lina after you leave?"
Mike had previously promised Princess Mia Genovese that he would visit her once a year.
As the year is about to end, the princess made a special call to urge Mike on how to proceed.
Needless to say, this is another emotional issue for Mike.
“In a couple of days, Mia said she’ll send a private jet to pick me up…” Thinking of the beautiful and lovely princess, Mike didn’t intend to stand her up. Then he continued, “After I get to Genovia, please take good care of Lina for me. You can take her around the area to familiarize her with the surroundings.”
Wall Street is surrounded by Broadway theaters and high-end shopping streets, so there's something for every girl to do, whether it's sightseeing or shopping.
"You're such a boss!" Peggy, who had been inexplicably given a task, expressed her dissatisfaction with the man.
You should know that this is all the other party's own business.
“I know you’re the best, Peggy.” Mike pulled the beautiful girl into his arms when she wasn’t looking and whispered, “Don’t worry, I’ll be back in two days with a present for you.”
Mike realized that, given his emotional capacity, he really needed Peggy, the little "housekeeper," to keep the girls at ease.
Before Mike had even officially accepted the other party, Peggy had already managed to handle everything in his support group perfectly.
I have to say, a genius is a genius.
"Who wants your gift~" Peggy was held in the man's arms like a cat being petted, and two blushes gradually rose on her face, but she still chose to be stubborn.
After the little girl grew into a beautiful young woman, she also developed a somewhat arrogant personality.
"Alright then, I'll just bring gifts for Lina and the others." Mike playfully flicked the girl's delicate nose.
"You dare!" Peggy instantly bristled like a kitten, then saw the smug smile on the man's face and knew that he was deliberately trying to provoke her.
"Disgusting~"
At the same time, the girl realized that she had overreacted. After secretly glancing around to make sure no one was watching, she breathed a sigh of relief and pinched the man.
……
Unlike the cozy atmosphere inside the villa, little Kevin downstairs was a bit bewildered as he looked at the closed door.
Do I look like a naughty, mischievous child?
The little guy stood in the cold wind, questioning the meaning of life.
