Meg's mouth moved quickly. Seeing Karen's complicated expression, she said awkwardly, "I think … this chicken is just so-so. It's barely edible."
Can't you stop wolfing down the food before you say that? Karen looked at Meg's oily mouth and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
Meg also felt that this awkward conversation was a bit embarrassing, so she quickly changed the topic. "Actually, um, this fish looks much better than this roast chicken."
Karen said, "… Natalie made it."
Meg immediately felt that the chicken in her mouth wasn't as tasty anymore.
She looked at the long-legged Natalie, who was chatting with a group of housewives not far away.
The long-legged Natalie had changed her clothes again.
When she first came to the neighborhood, she had worn a simple white dress.
When she visited Jeff, she had changed into a white dress and a knee-length wraparound skirt.
At that moment, Natalie was wearing a simple and elegant backless white dress that revealed the beautiful curves of her back.
"Wow, come on! I mean, who would dress like her to a Barbie Q? "Meg said righteously, disdainfully." I mean, there are children here. "
Karen had to interject, "Meg, that's just a summer dress. It's a little short, but it's fashionable and seductive … "She couldn't help but look envious.
Not only was the white dress beautiful, but it also showed off the wearer's advantages.
The same dress could be worn by someone else, such as … Meg?
Karen glanced at the woman next to her. Her red, blue, and white checkered dress looked old-fashioned and classless.
If this person were to wear that beautiful backless white dress, it would definitely cry bitterly and be sad and desperate!
It was no wonder that Meg had a face full of envy and jealousy, secretly saying sour things behind his back.
Meg, however, continued belittling the long-legged beauty. "Yes, she's also sentimental!"
At that moment, her expression changed. "Damn it, what's Danny doing? I'm going to look at his phone later! If he dares to secretly take pictures of her butt while pretending to send emails, I'll never give him a f * ck in the future! "
Karen thought, Can you not bring up what happened between you and your wife in front of me? You don't even respect your own privacy now?
On the other side, Selina left Karen to block the muzzle. She picked up two German sausages as she walked past the oven with a plate.
After taking a bite, she smacked her lips and said, "It's okay, but it doesn't taste like German."
She strolled to the edge of a circle and looked at Mr. Tim, who was the center of attention.
The travel writer was bragging about his journey of death in the desert: "... You know what? I was ready to write a suicide note to Natalie, if she ever got it. But a camel appeared in front of me, and it happened to be the one I saved three years ago. "
Everyone was amazed. Jeff's face was full of expectation, and he immediately played the role of the lead actor. "It still remembers you?"
Tim grunted and patted Jeff's shoulder. "No, Jeff, it's just an animal, and it's not that smart. But I rode it, returned to the city, and survived. "
Everyone laughed. Jeff was a little embarrassed, but he also laughed.
What a nice guy, Jeff! Selina shook her head with a smile and gave him the plate. "I saved one for you. You don't have to thank me."
She didn't even need to look back to know that Luke was standing behind her.
Luke took the plate from her and picked up the last German sausage with a fork. He took a bite and chewed on it before he looked at the sausage on his fork. "Hm, authentic American flavor."
Selina was lost for words. "… It's a German sausage, alright?"
Stunned, Luke took another bite and confirmed that his feeling was right. "Fine, Nike shoes made in China are American."
They didn't listen to Mr. Tim's bragging anymore, and left the circle.
"Are you done?" asked Selina.
Luke nodded and said, "Easy. What about you?"
Selina said, "Nothing special, except that Meg was gossiping about me behind my back."
Luke said, "It would be a problem if she wasn't gossiping, right?"
Selina was lost for words.
They went to another circle, where a darts competition was going on.
Danny, Meg's husband, was bragging. "See that? This is the Clifton technique I invented. I won five consecutive community darts championships with it."
Selina couldn't help but murmur, "Wow, he's even better at bragging than his wife."
Luke chuckled and said in a low voice, "If we set up a shooting range here, we'd be able to win five consecutive championships."
On the other side, Meg's husband, Danny, was already showing off to the long-legged Natalie, asking her to give it a try.
Luke and Selina looked at Natalie, who seemed to be having a hard time aiming at the target. Danny, on the other hand, had a "you're still too young" expression on his face.
The next moment, Natalie said with a smile, "I don't know how to use this technique. I'll use what I'm most familiar with."
As she spoke, she stood sideways and grabbed the dart with one hand.
Swoosh!
She hit the bull's eye.
Swoosh!
Two more darts hit the bull's eye.
Here, everybody was playing with the 101 rules, which was the simplified version of an official competition.
Each round consisted of three darts, and whoever hit the bull's eye first would score 101 points.
The bull's eye was 50 points, and hitting all three darts would score 150 points.
This was definitely the level of a professional player.
"It seems that I don't have to learn your technique." Natalie smiled brilliantly and left.
Danny, the bald, middle-aged man, was mocked by his male colleagues. "Haha, Danny, does your face hurt?"
"Shut up, Oren."
Then, he saw Selina, and his eyes lit up. "Selina, do you want to play too?"
Selina snorted. "Darts? I've never used them before. "
Danny said, "I can teach you."
Selina chuckled and snatched the fork from Luke's plate before she threw it away.
Swoosh!
All the men fell silent.
The fork was stuck vertically in the bull's eye.
Selina snorted. "It doesn't seem very difficult. You guys can play."
The men looked at each other in bewilderment and watched Selina walk away.
Luke stepped forward with a smile and pulled the fork out of the bull's eye. "I'm sorry, but this target should still be usable."
He hadn't gone far when he heard Danny being mocked by his colleagues again.
"Danny, you're already third place in the community. You need to practice your Clifton technique more."
"Get lost!"
Luke and Selina huddled together.
As they walked, Selina said in a low voice, "She's very good at darts."
Luke was amused. "You're good at darts too. But please, don't throw the fork I've used next time, okay? "
Selina shrugged. "That guy is just as annoying as his wife, Meg. Right, Natalie's a good cook too. She made a fish that I've never tried before, and it looks beautiful. "
Luke was curious. "Where?"
