Lu Mingfei Development Program

Chapter 290 Going on the Ferris Wheel with You

The hot braised beef trotters came out of the pot, not chopped up, but kept whole. The red sauce was stewed soft in the steaming heat, and the sauce completely seeped into the meat. When it was cut open, the beef tendons were still dripping with hot soup.

On a slightly chilly autumn night, a steaming dish like this is an irresistible midnight snack.

Chen Motong hadn't come back yet, so she called to ask, and she said that the tire had burst when the car ran over a rock that suddenly appeared on the road. She said that she had asked Susie for help, and it would be very late by the end of the time, so she would go back to Chu Yu's house tonight.

Lu Mingfei grinned with regret, saying that she was not worthy of this midnight snack. Then Xia Mi opened his eager hand and sent him to the bathroom to wash his hands first.

Xia Mi didn't prepare tableware, not even disposable gloves. According to her, using tableware and gloves to slowly tear off the food and eat it was completely unorthodox. This kind of thing should be eaten with hands while it is still hot and in big mouthfuls.

She also said that you shouldn't think that holding the food like this will dirty your hands. Licking the sauce on your fingers after eating is also a big part of the fun of eating this kind of braised meat dish. If you want to be delicate, don't touch this thing.

Lu Mingfei thought about how Xia Mi's pink tongue licked her white fingers after she finished eating the braised beef trotters, so he agreed with her point of view and agreed that it was indeed quite fun.

Xia Mi was not idle either. She opened another pressure cooker. Inside was a beef shank bone. It looked not small, about the size of a normal person's forearm. She was not afraid of the heat, so she reached out and picked up the beef shank bone and stuffed it into Fenrir's rice bowl.

The dog's food bowl is really a bowl, about the size of an ordinary wash basin, but compared with Fenrir's size, it is still miniature.

Fenrir, who was squatting at the door, looking at the closed door and waiting for potato chips to be fed, came over when he smelled the smell. He walked around the food bowl and looked at the beef shank with a thick layer of shredded meat on it. If a person saw it, he might fight with the dog for it.

It sniffed first, then looked up at Xia Mi, with a human-like look of doubt on its face, indicating that it would not eat anything other than potato chips.

Xia Mi was immediately furious, saying that if this big bone with so much meat was put outside, there would be many people vying for it. She had finally indulged herself a little, but this dog dared to despise it! Fenrir glanced at her, and reluctantly lay down, indicating that he had accepted it with reluctance.

"...What kind of ancestor did I raise?" Xia Mi said, but her eyes glanced at Lu Mingfei who had just come out of the bathroom.

Lu Mingfei wanted to give in to her because she had been busy all afternoon, but when he saw the swaying hair on her head, the words on his lips turned into this: "Like people raise like dogs, look at yourself before you say that."

"If this lazy dog ​​looks like anything, it looks like you!" Xia Miyou glanced at him, then happily jumped to the refrigerator and took out some refrigerated and ice-cold sour plum soup, which she naturally made herself.

Cold drinks and hard food, even at a time when it was almost time for a break. The stomachs of ordinary people would have already indicated that this was a high-end game, but the mixed-blood superheroes didn't care. And having just fought a fight on the edge of South Lake, Lu Mingfei's appetite was just right.

It takes a lot of time to make this kind of dish. Not to mention the preparation beforehand, it takes at least half a day to stew the sauce and let it seep into the meat. In other words, not long after Lu Mingfei went out, this little troublemaker first ran to grab food from the uncles and aunts, and then went into the kitchen to work non-stop after returning.

Lu Mingfei was busy with his mouth, picking out one with more meat and less bones and passing it over. Xia Mi had no idea what politeness meant, after all, she was the one who did it, so she should be the one telling him not to be polite.

Xia Mi took a bite of the soft and rotten cow's hoof, showing a happy expression, and drank a sip of the sour and sweet, icy and cool sour plum juice, and hummed comfortably. Nothing is more satisfying than taking a bite of the warm braised cow's hoof on a cold night. If there is, then take another bite.

She turned her head to glance at the tightly closed door opposite, and muttered while chewing something, "Speaking of which, Senior Brother, I haven't seen those beautiful sisters and girls opposite your house in the past two days."

"What? Are you planning to send some to them?" Lu Mingfei also glanced at the other side. He didn't know where Supergirl had gone, and he read the message he sent but didn't reply.

Xia Mi kicked Fenrir who was chewing a big bone at her feet and said, "Didn't the stupid dog cause trouble for me before? It seems that he also ate a lot of his snacks. We have to show our respect."

Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with what he said, but when he realized it, it seemed that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't find what was wrong.

In addition to her love of teasing people, Xia Mi is also quite likable and generous to others. She has a good reputation among her neighbors. The fact that the old people in her family were so happy to see her back is proof of this.

But the neighborhood near her home was as deserted as a horror movie set. Although Lu Mingfei's neighborhood was better, they were the only family on the floor, so it wasn't much better. No matter how warm and generous she was, no one would respond.

"No thanks, they are not rare..." He originally wanted to say that the female superstars are all wealthy and powerful, and except Su Enxi, they are all exquisite beauties.

Putting aside whether they think highly of her rough-mannered way of eating with her hands, it's hard to say whether the discounted supermarket items that she ran over in a competition with the old men and women would be pleasing to them.

But then he thought, among the four necessities of life, clothes and shelter can be covered with rags in an emergency, and food should be the first priority in theory. This thing is not noble, especially since it was made by the little troublemaker himself, and it is not much worse than those Michelin three-star chefs.

Lu Mingfei changed his words and said, "Maybe next time. There will always be a chance to run into each other."

After a satisfying midnight snack and washing the pots and pans together, Xia Mi rubbed her slightly noticeable belly and said happily but distressedly that it might be difficult to fall asleep at night. So when Lu Mingfei asked her to go out for a walk together, she agreed without hesitation.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the drizzle that seemed to have passed by suddenly had long since stopped, leaving only the still slightly wet ground and a temperature that was even colder than the previous few nights.

"I waited for you to come back late at night by cooking braised beef trotters, and this is all you give me in return, senior brother?" Xia Mi complained, but still bit the straw and drank the hot milk tea.

Lu Mingfei held Fenrir’s hand and didn’t even look at her: “You’re disgusted but you still keep pestering me to buy it? And you’re drinking so happily?”

You know, it’s not easy to find a milk tea shop that is open so late in this suburb far away from the city.

Xia Mi, who was walking in front, turned around and looked at him while walking backwards: "Don't you think you can still eat something? Girls have two stomachs, one for meals and one for snacks. The same goes for water and drinks."

It was not too early now. Except for the brightly lit CBD area, other places in southern Jiangsu had already turned off the lights, preparing for the Monday that no one wanted to see. The streets in the suburbs were empty, even the street lights were off, and only a few 24-hour convenience stores were still lit.

It is rare to see men and women who eat too much supper in the middle of the night and then run out to drink milk tea in the cold wind.

The weather tonight was colder than the past few days. Although he was not afraid of the cold, he didn't want to appear too unique, so Lu Mingfei still wore a coat. Xia Mi was the same, but this outfit... She wore casual cloth shoes and boat socks, revealing her delicate ankles. Then there was nothing on her legs.

She was still wearing the casual shorts she wore at home, a summer style that was cool. From her thighs to her ankles, there was nothing on her, and her pair of white, slender long legs were exposed, which was very conspicuous in the night.

From a distance, you can see a pair of long legs with beautiful curves bouncing around in front. But considering the time now, seeing such a scene on the empty and dark street, it is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a ghost.

Going further up, Xia Mi was wearing her coat, but it was Lu Mingfei's.

Before going out, Lu Mingfei reminded the little troublemaker to remember to wear a coat. He knew that she was now a superwoman. Not to mention autumn, she dared to wear hot pants in the winter, letting the girls in southern Jiangsu know that this was more about style than temperature.

However, due to years of habit, Lu Mingfei still treated her as the troubled girl who ran behind him to seek warmth and shelter from the wind when she felt cold as a child.

Xia Mi also agreed quickly, but when she came to Lu Mingfei with her clothes hanging down behind her butt and her hands completely tucked into her sleeves, he tilted his head and asked, why are these his clothes?

Then this little troublemaker also tilted his head, tucked his hands into his sleeves, opened his beautiful big eyes, blinked at him, and asked in return, this is his home, is it so strange to have his clothes there?

Lu Mingfei slapped his forehead, indicating that he didn't want to say more to her, and he could wear whatever he wanted.

There was a big height difference between the two, which made Lu Mingfei's clothes look like a coat to Xia Mi. It was not out of place, but rather strangely appropriate. However, it was enough to keep out the wind.

Apart from the fact that she refused to wear trousers no matter what and insisted that beauty is for people to see, there was no problem.

Lu Mingfei tore open a bag of potato chips, ate one himself first, then picked up another and threw it to the side, into the mouth of Fenrir who had been waiting with his mouth open. The potato chips were bought in a supermarket on the street where the lights were still on. Xia Mi already had milk tea, so the dog couldn't be left out either.

Xia Mi once told Fenrir that the family's conditions were not good, and the living expenses had other uses (buying lenses and figures), so forget about dog food. The dog food she cooked was much more delicious than that.

Coming from the hands of the little troublemaker, even dog food doesn't taste too bad. The portion is large and filling, and Fenrir's hair is shiny after eating it. Tonight, there is even something delicious that others can't even ask for, such as beef shanks and bones.

But Fenrir still felt wronged. As he said, he wouldn't eat anything that wasn't potato chips.

Lu Mingfei could only sigh that people are like dogs, this dog is so annoying, how can I see that it is Xia Mi's gift. However, considering that most of the people being tormented are her, Lu Mingfei could only watch from the side with a helpless smile.

Once people relax, they have no concept of time, and even the concept of space will fade away.

After finishing the chips in his hand, Lu Mingfei threw away the packaging under the pitiful gaze of the dog, indicating that there were no more. He led the dog to Xia Mi, who was sitting on a chair by a small park, holding a half-cup of almost cold milk tea in her hand, staring blankly into the distance.

Lu Mingfei sat beside him, looking at the same place as her. There was a Ferris wheel that had stopped spinning. Lu Mingfei was familiar with it, as he and Chu Yuwei had been on it a few days ago.

He was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that he would end up here without realizing it.

"Do you know?" Xia Mi suddenly said. Her perfect profile was still so perfect even in the night, and there was a tranquility that was not easy to see in normal times.

She looked at the Ferris wheel and said softly, "Actually, I grew up in southern Jiangsu, but I have never ridden a Ferris wheel."

Lu Mingfei glanced at her and said, "Because your parents have to accompany your brother, they don't have time to take you with them?"

Fenrir suddenly sneezed and his nose twitched, probably because he sucked the potato chip crumbs near his mouth into his nose.

Xia Mi was silent for a moment, and answered vaguely: "...That's about it. You know, although children can get free tickets to the amusement park, they still need to be accompanied by an adult."

Lu Mingfei was suddenly stunned. In his memory, when playing with them, Xia Mi was always full of energy and optimistic. He had never thought about how this overly optimistic girl spent her time after separating from them.

"Yeah, not being tall enough won't work... Haha, sorry I couldn't help it." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but laugh.

Next to him was a pretty girl who was about to fall into memories. He also knew that this was not the right occasion to laugh. Xia Mi's height was not too tall among the girls he knew, only slightly taller than Renata and Liu Miaomiao. You can imagine how tall she was when she was a child. All you can say is that she was small and cute.

I don't know how many children naively didn't want to grow up when they were young, because that would allow them to go to the amusement park for free. At that time, Xia Mi had a height that was envied by countless children, but she could only grit her teeth and stand by the amusement park without being able to enter...

Isn’t this funny?
Well, Lu Mingfei also felt that this was a bit too much. He held her head before the little troublemaker could get angry and show her fangs: "It's not too late to go now, right?"

"No!" Xia Mi said angrily, "Going on the Ferris wheel alone will make me look very lonely!"

"Then I'll go with you." Lu Mingfei said, turning his head to look at Xia Mi who was staring at him in a daze, and said, "But you have to promise me one thing."

"Do you know what it means for a man and a woman to ride a Ferris wheel alone..." Xia Mi muttered, "You tell me first. I want to hear what you want me to promise you."

Lu Mingfei looked at her beautiful eyes that were reflecting light in the night, and said seriously: "You can stay in my house as long as you want. To be honest, I'm quite happy that there is someone who can talk to me under the same roof."

He said, looking at the Ferris wheel in the distance: "But if one day you don't want to live here anymore, remember to tell me. Don't just leave without saying anything."
