The Valkyrie's table cannot be without Chef Ben

Mei sighed and went back to the makeshift kitchen she had built.

Neither Jiang Ye nor Rita went to help. In Theresa's words, they were guests today and it would be awkward if they still needed help from the guests.

Although Jiang Ye was not wearing any formal clothes, Rita's beautiful dress could not be dirty.

But Kiana was not so lucky. She was drafted into the army as soon as she got out and helped Mei in the kitchen.

Cecilia also wanted to help, but was also rejected.

Ji Zi found a stool and sat down.

"I don't know if there will be any wine to drink today. Jiang Ye, you shouldn't be a drinker, right?"

"One cup..."

"A glass of white wine?"

"beer……"

"Ahem..." Jizi stopped laughing in time, "No, it's okay, one cup is also great."

? ?

There is something wrong with what you said, but I have no evidence.

……

After chatting with Ji Zi for a while, everyone arrived one after another.

Kiana and Mei both went to change their clothes.

After all, they had just finished cooking in the kitchen and were smelling of oil smoke. The two girls were willing to do it, but Cecilia was not.

While the two were changing clothes, Bronya also came here with a little girl.

Jiang Ye also brought out the turkey at this time, and the fragrance began to spread.

As expected, barbecue is the best choice for picnics. Even if it is outdoors, the unique smell can still accurately hit everyone's nose.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

"Thank Mei, I'll be in charge of the baking."

"Jiang Ye, you are too modest. I can't roast such a delicious turkey using such a simple oven." Mei said with a smile.

"Yes, yes. If it were me, I'm afraid one of the chicken and the stove would explode."

"There's no need to talk about this kind of thing, right? Stupid Kiana."

Bronya shook her head, then turned to look at the little girl beside her, "Seele, are you still not used to it?"

The little girl named Xier nodded shyly.

"But seeing that Sister Bronya has made so many good friends, Seele is happy for Sister Bronya from the bottom of her heart."

Bronya laughed. Although her expression didn't change, she did laugh.

"Xi'er, can I introduce these friends of mine to you?"

"Okay, Sister Bronya."

……

Everyone happily finished the feast that Mei had carefully prepared.

Kiana leaned back in her chair, rubbing her belly.

“I’m really full…”

"If you eat so much, you won't get any dessert next time."

Mei said with a smile while holding the plate.

"Snacks?! What snacks!"

Kiana struggled to get up.

"It's mousse made from ginger leaves. If you eat so much, there won't be any for you."

"!! Mei! I can eat more!"

Cecilia smiled and rubbed her daughter's head. "No matter how delicious the food is, you can't ruin your body."

"Mom! I can still eat more!"

There is a lot of mousse made with ginger leaves, so naturally everyone gets one, and there are many flavors, so basically everyone can choose the flavor they like.

Bronya took a bite and then looked at Seele.

"Xi'er, is it delicious?"

"Mm! It's delicious, Sister Bronya."

Bronya pinched her chin. It seemed that she had to invite Ginger back to the orphanage.

Jiang Ye: ???

“It’s really delicious.”

Rita also commented, "The delicate taste, the perfect sweetness, and the unique recipe have all reached perfection. It may be a bit presumptuous to say this, but can I ask how you make this dessert?"

"This isn't difficult. If Miss Rita is interested, I can send you the formula later."

Jiang Ye smiled and shook his head.

"Ah? This..."

Rita was a little surprised for a moment. You know, most people wouldn't give you a recipe.

What's more, Jiang Ye is the owner of a store.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a random experiment. It's not something rare."

"Then Rita, I'd be very sorry to refuse." Rita curved her eyes again, "Mr. Jiang Ye seems to be a very accomplished pastry chef."

"A little bit of dabbling."

"Lao Jiang, don't you blush every time you say this? Why do I feel like you're always particularly good at saying you know a thing or two?"

Is there a possibility that it is just special to you?

“No, because I really only dabbled in it.”

"Your slightest stroke seems a bit too much, doesn't it?"

……

The Christmas party ended at around seven or eight o'clock. After dinner, everyone started chatting and playing in their own groups.

Of course, the ones playing were just the little ones, and... Siegfried and Theresa.

Jiang Ye felt very uncomfortable being looked at by Cecilia. In the end, he had no choice but to learn photography from Rita for a long time. He didn't feel relieved until the show was over.

After the show, Jiang Ye went home with a bunch of gifts.

He was quite smart and prepared a lot of gifts. He didn't know whether the newcomer would like them or not, but he just gave them to him and that was it.

This made Xier feel a little embarrassed for not preparing a gift.

Go home.

Jiang Ye lay on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out his cell phone and found that Alicia had sent him a message at some point.

Alicia: "It's the loneliness of spending Christmas alone~"

There is also a very pitiful emoticon and a small Christmas tree below.

Jiang Ye: "Didn't you go back to the Golden Courtyard?"

Jiang Ye remembered that she had received a gift yesterday.

Alicia: "I have to work. It's boring to spend Christmas alone. I don't want to spend Christmas alone next year."

Jiang Ye: "Where are you now?"

Alicia: "In Sky City~"

Jiang Ye: "Wait a moment."

Alicia: “Eh??”

……

Chapter 59: Christmas (Part 2)

Under the night sky, the girl was wearing a coat and a scarf, sitting in the airport lobby.

As it was late at night, the airport was very quiet and the dim light cast a shadow on the girl.

Her little hands were a little cold, so she blew out some hot air to try to warm them up.

Suddenly, a paper cup was pressed against her face. It was a little hot, so the girl subconsciously dodged.

"Why don't you go to the cafe to hide when it's cold?"

She turned around and smiled.

"I can see you first from this position."

Jiang Ye shook his head and handed the paper cup to Alicia, "The hot milk I just bought."

"But I've already brushed my teeth, and... I'm not a child, you should buy coffee~"

“Adults can drink milk, too.”

Ai Li caught the milk, opened the paper cup, and took a sip. It was a little hot, but a warm current slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and she felt her limbs unfold.

"Phew... much warmer."

Ai Li's eyes curved up, "I didn't expect you to actually come here~"

"If I don't come, won't you have to wait until tomorrow?"

"Well...if that happens, I'll probably cry, ok?"

Ellie held the milk in her hand and said, "But it's already past eleven forty. Christmas is almost over."

Jiang Ye smiled, "At least you are not alone at the last moment of this Christmas."

Ellie's pretty face was a little red.

"Jiang Ye~ You are really breaking the rules~"

"In the past, you were the one who invited me. Even if we are friends, it won't be a one-way street, right?"

Jiang Ye looked outside the airport. "There are only ten minutes left. Have you decided where to go?"

"Of course!"

Ai Li laughed, and under Jiang Ye's surprised gaze, Ai Lishiya grabbed Jiang Ye's wrist.

"follow me!"

……

Tianqiong City actually does not celebrate Christmas. Although some people hold it, the festive atmosphere here is not grand.

Alicia brought Jiang Ye to the lake.

The girl looked a little disappointed, "I still didn't catch up..."

There used to be a Christmas tree here, but since the airport is not very close and it was late at night, the Christmas tree had long been unlit.

The crowd that had gathered here, as well as Santa Claus, have all left.

Of course, Alicia was only sad for a moment, and then suddenly smiled again.

Seeing Jiang Ye confused, he patted his shoulder and put the half-drunk hot milk in Jiang Ye's hand.

"Wait for me here for a while~"

Ai Li was in a hurry to do things and no one could stop her, so Jiang Ye had no choice but to find a chair and sit down.

He bought two cups of hot milk, carefully separated the two cups, and took a sip.
