Tomb Raider: What kind of heroine is she?

Zhang Xingxing, lying on the training ground panting, looked at the snowflakes slowly falling from the sky. He supported himself with one hand behind his back and raised the other hand to catch a snowflake. He watched it melt in his hand, and then new snowflakes fell and melted again.

She gradually withdrew her hand and looked up at the gray sky. Snowflakes fell on her thick eyelashes, like silver butterflies dancing. The flying snowflakes blurred those lively expressions and outlines, adding a sense of coolness and tranquility to Zhang Xingxing.

Wang Jue looked at Zhang Xingxing like this. For some reason, he had an inexplicable intuition that she was missing someone.

Who? Mr. Wang Ba?

"What are you thinking?"

Hearing Wang Jue's voice, Zhang Xingxing did not turn back. He drooped his eyelids, blinked his eyes to hide the look in his eyes, then held the hand that Wang Jue handed over, stood up with the help of his strength, and spoke while patting the snow off his body.

"I was thinking that time really flies by so fast. It seems that I have been here for three months in a blink of an eye. It seems that I have done nothing except cooking and attending classes every day. It's a bit boring."

After listening to this, Wang Jue nodded, as if he was a little bit disappointed. He hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help but opened his mouth to ask.

"The New Year is coming soon. The Wang family will basically come back to adjust their missions. Do you want to go on a mission with me next year?"

Zhang Xingxing's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she excitedly grabbed Wang Jue's cotton coat on his arm and said.

"Really? A lot of people will come back, that must be very interesting. Are there many big guys?"

Wang Jue pursed his lips when he heard Zhang Xingxing's question, and nodded. Then he saw Zhang Xingxing saying "Wuhu" and packing up her things. Wang Jue didn't understand why she was so excited all of a sudden, so he asked.

"Wang Shan, where are you going?"

"The training is over. I will go back to study two dishes and prepare to show off my skills in front of the boss."

Zhang Xingxing walked out while talking. Wang Jue was confused. Weren't they talking about partners? Why did they suddenly switch to cooking? Looking at the man's back getting farther and farther away, he hesitated whether to ask again next time. He was about to swallow the words in his mouth, but in the end he changed his mind and asked out loud.

"So do you want to partner up to do missions together next year?"

The one who answered him was Zhang Xingxing shaking his hands, a cool and decisive figure and a voice that became vague as the distance gradually faded.

"Okay, if there's a chance!"

Hearing Zhang Xingxing's reply, Wang Jue couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and shouted loudly towards Zhang Xingxing's figure.

"it is good."

-

On New Year's Eve, the entire Wang family was bustling with activity. Zhang Xingxing saw many members of the Wang family who had been on missions coming back from outside.

She could hardly contain her excitement, and today, during this rare holiday, Zhang Xingxing chose to run to the cafeteria early in the morning to help. She also suggested to the manager that the Wang family have a New Year's Eve dinner and hold an annual meeting together this year.

The manager hesitated for a moment, but in the end the picture painted by Zhang Xingxing was so contagious, about looking forward to the future, bringing people closer together, and strengthening family cohesion... He couldn't help but follow suit and report to his superiors. Unexpectedly, he got approval.

Thus, the first annual Wang family meeting with the theme of “Join hands to create brilliant dreams” was finally held.

All the Wang family members gathered together that night, having a great time. They watched the performances with curiosity, and ate the new year's eve dinner which was different and free with curiosity. Well... there were a lot of strange dishes, and they were quite addictive, but there was a lot of meat... eat eat eat. In the end, everyone was very full, and Zhang Xingxing nodded with satisfaction when she looked at the stir-fried meat with tangerines and duck blood tofu dumplings on every table.

Not bad.

Zhang Xingxing excitedly looked at the faces of every member of the Wang family, she was looking for the face she saw yesterday. Finally, when her eyes stopped at the faces of Wang Jue and the person next to him, she was filled with emotion, the reality was always more dramatic than the excerpts in the picture book.

After Zhang Xingxing walked over and greeted Wang Jue happily, he looked at the ordinary-looking uncle next to Wang Jue and asked curiously.

"Wang Jue, who is this?"

"Wang Shan, this is my master. He just came back from a mission outside. You can call him Mr. Wang Er. He is very powerful! Master, this is the Wang Shan I am talking about, my partner next year."

Wang Jue introduced the two happily. Wang Er sat on the stool, glanced at Zhang Xingxing, and said in a light tone.

"She is not suitable for you. She will not kill anyone, but will only hinder your mission."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, and Wang Jue was a little at a loss. But Zhang Xingxing, who heard these words, looked normal. She poured a glass of wine from the table and placed it in front of Wang Er, and poured another glass of wine for herself, raised the glass, stared into Wang Er's eyes and spoke seriously.

"What the gentleman taught me is that I don't dare to kill anyone now, but no one can predict what the future will be like, right?"

Wang Er looked at the fierceness and seriousness in the eyes of the little girl in front of him and rarely felt a trace of interest. This girl is still a brave girl. Why does she look a little familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere before.

"Oh, what does this have to do with me? You don't have to explain it to me. And have we met somewhere before?"

Zhang Xingxing listened to Wang Er's words, scratched his head in confusion, then smiled obediently and shook his head, and said.

"Oh. No. But I think it may be because beautiful women are all so similar in beauty that you feel familiar. Well, Wang Jue. I have something else to do. I have to go. Sir, I toast to you. Please forgive me for my impoliteness. I will take my leave first."

After saying that, she turned around and left without caring about the master and apprentice's reactions. Anyway, her goal had been achieved. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back...

After looking around, she finally found Wang Ba and Wang Shi's table. She sat down expressionlessly and collapsed on the chair, looking exhausted. Wang Ba looked at the listless look of the child. When he thought about how he came here to do nothing without even saying hello in the morning, he couldn't stop feeling resentful.

"Hey, what's so good about this cafeteria? You have to go here even during holidays. It's worth your time to spend so much time on these broken things. You also go to other people's places to toast and chat. Why is it so difficult for Wang Shi and I to see you?"

Zhang Xingxing looked at Wang Ba who was acting sarcastic again, turned to look at Wang Shi, blinked and signaled to Wang Shi.

What's going on?

Wang Shi didn't say anything. He held a pot of wine in his hand and pointed his finger casually in the direction of Wang Jue's table. He glanced at her and then poured a glass of wine for Wang Ba.

Zhang Xingxing understood what was going on. He realized that the petty-minded Wang Ba had seen everything. So he jumped up from his chair and scooped some stir-fried pork and dumplings with a spoon for Wang Ba with a smile on his face.

"Hey, Wang Ba, don't be angry. It's New Year's Day, and getting angry can easily cause wrinkles. I just finished my work and happened to run into a friend so I could only say hello before leaving. But after I said hello, I didn't stay for even a second and rushed to see you and Wang Shi without stopping. Come, how about trying this new dish?"

As if she had thought of something, she also scooped two full spoons for Wang Shi. OK, you have to treat these two good brothers impartially and equally. After doing this, the two living fathers looked disgusted, but their auras became much calmer.

Zhang Xingxing couldn't help but sigh. She was becoming more and more skilled in carrying water under the guidance of these two living fathers.

She shook her head, raised her glass, and was about to toast the two of them when she was stopped by Wang Ba. Wang Ba picked up a pot of tea on the table, poured a cup, and stuffed it into Zhang Xingxing's hand. After giving the glass of wine in Zhang Xingxing's hand to Wang Shi, he rolled his eyes and spoke.

"You are just a kid, why drink wine? Just drink tea. We don't want to see you get drunk and act crazy."

Zhang Xingxing listened to Wang Ba's words and suddenly remembered the magnificent and glorious achievements she had made in the Hong Mansion, and she fell silent.

Zhang Xingxing, who tried hard to prepare herself mentally, just thought that the tea in her hand was still wine, and continued to prepare to toast in a dignified manner. But the moment she opened her mouth, an inexplicable tone came out as if out of control, and she began to chant.

"Today, we are gathered here to celebrate our first New Year together in the Wang family. I have had no family since I was a child, and I have been living in a daze until I met the Wang family. For the first time, I found out what I want to do most. Thanks to the care of Wang Ba and Wang Shi, I can continue to move forward in the Wang family. So I want to toast you two and thank you. The new year is coming, and I wish you a happy new year from the bottom of my heart. I hope you can get what you want in the future just like me."

Wang Ba looked at Zhang Xingxing, who suddenly spoke in a rhythmic manner, and was controlled for three minutes. He waited until Zhang Xingxing finished speaking before he seemed to react. He also raised his glass. At this time, Wang Shi also raised his glass. The three of them drank a glass in this strange and warm atmosphere.

Afterwards, after being baptized by the chanting, Wang Ba actually forgot about the things that made him angry before, and turned around and happily ate the dishes that Zhang Xingxing picked for them with Wang Shi, and drank a few glasses while eating. Zhang Xingxing looked at all this and leaned back in his chair contentedly, humming a few lines of The Drunken Concubine.

Suddenly, Wang Ba saw Wang Shiyi's head hitting the table. Just as he was about to laugh at him for his declining alcohol tolerance, he felt his head becoming dizzy.

No, that's not right.

The next second, Wang Ba also fell on the dining table. He tried hard to open his eyes and saw Zhang Xingxing leaning comfortably on the chair. Listening to the opera voice coming from his ears, he opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't have the strength to utter a sound and gradually lost consciousness.
