Chapter 145 Lucia the Maid
Chapter 145 Lucia the Maid
Suddenly, a rich and mellow aroma wafted into my nostrils, instantly whetting my appetite.
"This aroma is so tempting!" I couldn't help but mutter to myself. "How can there be such fragrant food at this time of day?" Full of curiosity, I looked up in the direction of the aroma and saw a smiling face come into view. It was Yumi Kenmura.
Lin Yeming subconsciously sniffed, his eyes filled with surprise, and blurted out, "Why are you here?"
Yumi Kenmura shook the heavy food box in her hand, her smile widening, her eyes curving into crescents, and said softly, "I brought you a midnight snack."
I figured you must be hungry by now, so I specially cooked several of your favorite home-style dishes!
As she spoke, she walked closer, gently opened the food box, and the aroma suddenly became intense, whether it was her own fragrance or the aroma of the food, was unclear.
The steaming hot food looked incredibly tempting.
Lin Yeming looked at the food and his eyes reddened slightly. He hadn't eaten any Chinese food during this time, and he didn't expect that Yumi Kenmura had been thinking about him all this time.
He quickly got up, took the food box, and pulled Yumi Kenmura to sit down. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "Yumi, thank you for your hard work. I've been exhausted lately, but your arrival has given me a lot of energy."
Yumi Kenmura gently patted his hand, her eyes full of concern: "Eat up, don't go hungry. No matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself."
Lin Yeming picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in his mouth. The familiar sweet and sour taste instantly bloomed on his taste buds; it was the taste of home. As he ate, he praised indistinctly, "It's so delicious. Your cooking is still the best to my liking."
Yumi Kenmura watched from the side, a faint smile always on her lips, occasionally handing him a tissue or pouring him a glass of water.
The atmosphere here is joyful and harmonious, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, shining straight into people's hearts and warming them to the core.
Meanwhile, Lucia was at the Victory team's residence.
"Sis, didn't you say you were going to see Ye Ming? How long are you going to delay? It's getting later and later." Zara, who had already finished getting ready, was getting restless and started knocking on the door frequently.
As Lucia, who had just finished washing up, looked at her reflection in the mirror, the smile on her lips slowly faded.
"Isn't that just wonderful!"
She bought this outfit entirely based on online recommendations.
She even spent a lot of money to order it, and because it was difficult to get it through the Victory Team's channels, she also used up a little bit of her younger brother's money.
Although he had a lot of opinions, it didn't matter.
Lucia looked in the mirror and carefully examined her meticulously prepared makeup. She had researched and selected the eyeshadow colors for a long time, and the lipstick was the most flattering yet gentle shade.
Although she was very confident, the first one to arrive was a big smile.
My brother's shouts rang out once again.
"Sis, what are you dawdling about! If you don't go soon, Yeming will be asleep." Zara's voice was full of anxiety.
Lucia threw the comb on the table in a huff, "Fine, I'll go!"
She flung open the door and glared at Zara. "What's the rush? I need to prepare properly."
Zara looked at her sister's expression, pursed her lips, and dared not say anything more.
But today's clothes caught his eye, yet he felt they weren't quite right.
There was nothing he could do; he recognized that his older sister was actually wearing a maid outfit.
No… what is she trying to do?
Lucia walked towards Lin Yeming with her head held high, her mind filled with imagining what it would be like to meet him. But when she actually arrived and saw Lin Yeming and Kenmura Yumi enjoying themselves together inside the house, her steps froze.
"Zara, you must be tired today."
Lucia said meaningfully.
Zara followed her gaze and instantly shivered. He nodded, obeyed, and left without looking back.
Her stubbornness wouldn't allow her to back down. She took a deep breath, put on a smile again, and shouted, "Hey everyone, is this a little party? Do you mind if I join in?"
Lin Yeming turned around at the sound, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. "Lucia, come here quickly, we need you!" Lucia walked over calmly, but as she sat down, her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes. She secretly vowed to make Lin Yeming notice her more.
Lucia forced herself to sit down, her gaze sweeping over the delicious food on the table, but her heart was filled with mixed emotions. She was secretly annoyed that her carefully prepared maid outfit hadn't made a stunning appearance in front of Lin Yeming; instead, she looked like a belated farce performer.
Lin Yeming smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks. "Try it, Yumi's cooking is amazing." Yumi Kenmura also warmly invited, "Eat up, Lucia, there's so much!" Lucia forced a smile, picked up a piece of food, but it tasted like cardboard. She looked at the gentle gaze Lin Yeming occasionally cast at Yumi Kenmura, and the resentment in her heart surged even more fiercely.
The group chatted casually, and as the night deepened, the atmosphere remained lively.
Lucia suddenly stood up. "Yoru, Yumi-chan, I brought a video of Zildar's gas operations. Shall we watch it together?"
After saying that, she pulled a data disk out of her pocket.
Lin Yeming was initially quite impressed by Lucia's outfit, but he was somewhat surprised when she suddenly pulled out the Zildar gas combat video.
However, he nodded and agreed.
After all, this is an opportunity to bridge the information gap and prove that I don't know Ultraman.
"Let's take a look together!"
Yumi Kenmura nodded and said curiously, "I'd like to see too."
In fact, she knew that Lin Yeming would definitely not refuse.
He will definitely be interested in the work that follows.
This was something I hadn't expected, and the other person was also dressed quite well.
Although Lin Yeming didn't say anything, his eyes would occasionally catch a glimpse of it.
Does he like this kind of thing?
A secret joy welled up in Lucia's heart. As an alien, she naturally noticed Lin Yeming's unintentional gaze.
She believed the guide.
However, the later strategies were too exaggerated, and she was still very shy.
Although she was already having these thoughts, she didn't stop what she was doing. She connected the data disk to the computer and started playing some video materials.
She supplemented her explanation with her own personal experiences.
This matter was so big that the whole world knew about it.
The Naga's power is so great that it can completely heal the injured.
This alone is enough to make people flock to it.
Television stations reported on the miraculous rebirth of the phoenix, and several mystery-exploration programs were immediately launched.
