Li Jie's stomach was very uncomfortable. After drinking so many carbonated drinks with the Black Bat King, his entire stomach was in a state of nausea and bloated. It was as uncomfortable as being gently licked by a tongue of fire.
So tonight, Li Jie prepared a simple dinner. To be precise, the meal that Li Jie ate was prepared by Lan. Stewed ribs with carrots and sweet corn, steamed meat pies, and boiled lettuce with a little oil. Li Jie could eat this kind of food himself, but he used it to entertain Peter. Gwen and Katie were out of the question. None of them liked this kind of food.
Therefore, the cardboard box that Li Jie was carrying was filled with some ingredients for their dinner. Because his stomach was not feeling well, Li Jie was not in the mood to make a complicated meal. So he simply made a grilled pizza and fried chicken. This kind of food was relatively easy to make and suited the tastes of young people.
At the dinner table, Li Jie, Lan, Katie, Peter, and Gwen sat at the long table (Strange went out to rest, Thor went out to look for Strange, and Heve went out to look for Thor).
"So, don't stand on ceremony. Let's eat. "Li Jie gestured for the others at the table to start eating. His stomach was very uncomfortable, and he wanted a mouthful of hot soup.
Lan's ribs soup had been simmering for two hours, and she now knew that the ribs needed to be blanched first. This way, the soup would not have blood foam, and the taste would be sweeter and less fishy.
Because it was stewed in a small casserole, the ribs, corn, and carrot soup tasted good and rich, but the amount was small. This was only enough for Li Jie alone. The tulips that Li Jie bought home had already been inserted into the vase at the entrance of the door.
The cheese pizza that Li Jie made was fragrant. Large pieces of German smoked sausage, onion, bell pepper, and tomato sauce were used as the base. Basil leaves were sprinkled on top, and a thick layer of cheese was spread on top. The fifteen-inch large pizza followed the Italian style of thin-bottomed pizza.
The pizza was neither dry nor oily, and the texture was just right. The homemade mozzarella cheese bought from a ranch in Switzerland had melted after being baked at a high temperature, leaving a slightly burnt crust on the surface. However, the inside was still soft and could be drawn.
Peter Parker grabbed a piece and started to eat it without a care in the world. Gwen noticed that the food in front of Li Jie was a little different, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Li Jie drank a mouthful of hot soup. "My stomach feels a little uncomfortable."
Lan knew that Li Jie's stomach wasn't feeling well, but Katie didn't. She looked up at Li Jie and Lan with a complicated expression and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just drank too much carbonated drinks." Li Jie waved his hand.
Peter pulled out a long string of cheese from his pizza. He ate in a hurry and said, "Did you drink too much coke? Why are you acting like a child? "
Li Jie didn't bother to refute Peter's comment, because he wasn't really addicted to carbonated drinks. He was sacrificing his stomach to do serious things.
Katie was both angry and amused by Li Jie's comment that he had an upset stomach because he drank too much coke. She had laughed out loud, but when she turned around, she saw that Lan was looking at Li Jie with a gentle gaze. Suddenly, she couldn't laugh anymore.
It was like a speeding car suddenly braking, which made Katie very uncomfortable. Li Jie noticed Katie's expression. Li Jie pursed his lips. It was really a bit troublesome. He looked at Lan.
Lan was smiling, and her gaze was gentle. But Li Jie still remembered what she had just said. "I am the storm howling at the top of the Himalayas." Li Jie sighed. What the hell was this?
Li Jie looked at Katie and asked, "I did. How have you been recently, Katie? Are you used to being a female president? Did anyone bully you or something? "
"Pretty good. I don't think anyone will bully me," Katie replied quickly. Then there was silence. She didn't know what to say now. She should have had a lot to say, but it felt like it was too late.
Li Jie looked at Lan. He knew that with Lan around, Katie probably wouldn't be able to let go. In any case, Katie was his good friend, and he still valued this friend. The professor also liked Katie as a student. Perhaps the professor would be proud to have such a student for the rest of his life.
Li Jie wiped his mouth with a napkin and said to Katie, "Would you like to take a walk in the garden with me? I'd like to hear about your life after becoming president. Maybe it will be useful for the mutant comics in the future. "
Katie laughed. "Then you have to pay me copyright fees." Li Jie nodded. "Of course."
Just as Li Jie and Katie were about to talk in the garden, Peter, who was eating pizza, interrupted, "You haven't eaten much yet, Jason."
Li Jie said, "I'm full."
Peter said, "Nonsense. Didn't you have an upset stomach? Ah, Gwen, why did you kick me? "Gwen covered her face.
Lan smiled at Peter and Gwen and shook her head.
… …
In the garden in Li Jie's villa.
Katie stretched her body, which made her look especially graceful. Li Jie walked to Katie's left and said to her, "I think that coat suits you very well."
"Yes, it's really not bad. I like it very much. " Katie put her hands in her pockets. "You have good taste. I probably wouldn't be able to buy such good clothes if I bought them myself. Did Lan choose it for you? "
Katie looked at Li Jie. Li Jie didn't avoid the question. "No, I chose it. Including the one for Lan and my mother. "
Katie turned her head and said in a low voice, "Oh." She somehow felt a little better. "Tell me about what happened."
"What happened?" Li Jie didn't know what Katie wanted to ask.
"You said you drank too much coke in the afternoon? I remember that you don't like these things very much. "Katie asked Li Jie curiously. She really didn't want to talk about Lan.
As she said before, Katie really wanted to find someone to talk to. Katie felt that she would be in a bad mood if they talked about Lan or Li Jie's girlfriend.
Li Jie's answer to Katie's question was concise. "For some negotiations, I was forced to compete with a soda enthusiast over Coke, Sprite, and Jianlibao. I'm really not good at these things. "
Katie didn't really want to talk about why Li Jie drank too much soda. She just wanted to start a conversation. Katie found a chair in the garden and sat down. She looked at Li Jie and sighed. "Yes, work is always tiring. Being a mutant president is also tiring. This job is more stressful than I thought. Sometimes, I wish I had a trustworthy friend by my side. "
Katie looked in the direction of the living room. "Just like how you have Lan now. When your stomach isn't feeling well, she will help you heat up the soup. That feels good. There will always be someone to help you when you need help. "
Katie had made up her mind not to talk about Lan, but she couldn't help but say it. 'What an immature girl,' Katie grumbled in her mind.
Li Jie sat down beside Katie. "Actually, don't you have a lot of friends by your side? People you can trust. "
Katie shook her head. "That's different. Or rather, it's not the same. You know, my relationship with you is better. Well, I don't deny this point, I do like you. That's very direct, but it looks like I don't have a chance now. You have your own Princess Sissy (Note).
Katie shook her head. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. "Maybe I should have done it earlier." After saying that, Katie smiled and said in a low voice, "I really hope you can stay by my side for a little longer." Catie spoke her mind directly, but she couldn't help but feel down.
"Actually, I've always been with you. It's just in a different form and identity." Li Jie's words made Katie look at Li Jie again, but Li Jie was gone. There was only a person Katie was very familiar with.
Nightcrawler was praised by Professor Charles, Dr. Hank, and many other people. Even Katie herself had to admire his imagination. She listened to his advice and made many changes to the Mutant Race's founding event and made many news and political shows.
