Positive little sun, magical girl, I am awesome

"New Year's Day?" Sean looked up in confusion.

"It's...it's Hanukkah! It feels like Hanukkah!" Lilith cleverly changed her statement.

"It's a bit like that..." Hannah, who was always introverted, was also infected by the lively atmosphere and took the initiative to speak. "But I was with my family before, and this is the first time with friends. It feels..."

"Feel like an adult now, right?" Lulu leaned on Hannah's shoulder with a smile, her face still covered with tapioca starch.

"Haha, really! We are having a party like adults! It's really interesting. No wonder the adults always like to get together and drink." Sean said with a smile.

"There's no wine!" Lilith said as the host, "but there's plenty of milk tea!"

"Great!" Sure enough, there was another round of cheers.

When it was getting dark, the magic apprentices used lighting magic to light up the room. The chicken soup was bubbling on the stove, and even with the lid on, the aroma could not be suppressed.

"Wow, it smells so good, Lilith. It's almost done! The meat is still raw. When are you going to start cooking?" Bobby stretched his nose to smell the aroma of chicken soup that filled the room and couldn't sit still anymore.

"Well, then, let's start grilling! Let's have hot pot!" Lilith directed everyone like a restaurant chef, "Take all the skewers to the grill in the yard. Come on, those who like spicy food sit on the left, and those who don't sit on the right."

She poured the soup base into two pots and quickly instructed everyone to sit down according to their tastes. "You don't have to cook any of this. Just throw whatever you want into the pot, and when it's cooked, you can scoop it out and dip it in the sauce." Lilith demonstrated it to everyone.

Sean was very interested in this novel way of eating. He was the first to try the thinly sliced beef cut by Ian, and his eyes immediately widened.

"This...this!"

"Can we eat it?" The others stared at him as if he were a mouse.

Sean said nothing, and scooped up another spoonful, and another spoonful, and another spoonful...

"Wow! This bastard is eating alone!!" Everyone finally reacted and started to grab the meat. Suddenly, many hands were flying around the table.

Lilith was so scared that she quickly retreated away from the battlefield, shouting as she retreated, "No magic allowed, no magic allowed! You can't use magic to steal food! Hey, hey! You can't use force either!!!" As the master, she really tried her best to maintain order...

"It's so delicious! I feel like I finally know what food tastes like." Bobby almost cried because of eating so much.

Sean was finally able to speak at this time, and he nodded in agreement - "It's so delicious that the people next to you won't even notice if they die..."

Lulu also looked satisfied, "Potatoes, they taste good no matter how you cook them..."

"The pearls are really delicious, and the texture when you chew them is amazing." Following Lilith's instructions, Jaina added another fireball to the bottom of the pot. The heat made her face red, and her usually heroic face became cute at this moment.

"I'm glad you like it. If you can't finish these things today, you are not allowed to leave." Lilith threatened them with a smile, then got up and went to the yard to help everyone barbecue.

After a while, she heard the door open and Ian walked up to her side, "Let me help you."

"Okay." Lilith smiled and made some room for Ian.

"How is it? Are you used to it? These are the methods used in my hometown. Both the elderly and children like them very much."

Ian nodded, "It's delicious, thank you Lilith."

"Are you dissatisfied that there are too many people over there?" Lilith felt that Ian was actually somewhat socially anxious. "The barbecue I make is also very delicious. When they fill their stomachs over there and find that they can't eat any more barbecue, they will definitely cry."

Lilith winked at Ian with a sly smile.

Ian shook his head, "No, I really like being with everyone. They are all very quiet."

...Quiet? Lilith looked at the dining table, which was as lively as the Spring Festival Gala, and tilted her head in confusion. Could Ian... be hard of hearing at such a young age?

"...Aha, then try this eggplant. I brushed it with my own sauce, an exclusive secret recipe!" Lilith shouted loudly in Ian's ear.

Ian was startled by her sudden increase in volume, but he didn't say anything. He took it obediently, took a bite, and praised it for being delicious.

...Is my hearing loss gone? Lilith was confused. It seems to be intermittent! Never mind. It doesn't seem to affect daily communication.

Lilith was startled when her hand suddenly felt cold. She turned to look at Ian, only to find that he was looking up at the sky.

"It's snowing, Lilith."

……

"It's snowing, Catherine!"

Angie cheered and stretched out her hands to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.

"I can finally wear the fox fur cloak that my grandfather hunted for me. It's great! I've been waiting for this day for a long time." The first snow represents luck. Angel was in a very good mood. She happily lifted the hem of her skirt and turned around in the snow, but she didn't notice that the expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess next to her slowly changed.

Catherine quietly watched the falling snowflakes. Her fair face was no longer smiling, but as cold as the weather at that time, with deep resentment and sorrow in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes.

"...Angel." It was Daniel who first noticed that the princess was in a bad mood. He called his cousin in a low voice and winked at her. However, the stupid cousin did not understand his gaze at all and continued to chatter with Catherine.

"This is it, Catherine. We liked this store very much the last time we came here. They do a really good business on weekends and only accept reservations. I told them that I was a friend of Princess Catherine and they were willing to find me a seat. I hope they have lit the fireplace. It's too cold today..." Angel pulled Catherine as she walked into the store, chattering.

But suddenly Catherine pulled his hand away.

"——Sorry, Angie, Daniel." Catherine exhaled a puff of white mist, her voice low and suppressed. Although she was no longer happy, she still tried to force a smile. "Maybe it's because of the weather. I suddenly feel like I have no appetite. Why don't we make an appointment next time? I want to go back to the dormitory to warm up."

An Qi was stunned and opened her mouth in confusion, "Huh? But..." The store is warm, why go far away?

However, Catherine didn't even wait for her to finish her words and turned and left.

"What's wrong with her?" An Qi was a little flustered and looked at her cousin.

"I've already called you, Angie. The princess has been unhappy since just now. Maybe we should go to dinner earlier." Daniel was annoyed, but he still had to coax his sister in front of him in a gentle voice. He felt that she must have said something wrong to make the princess unhappy.

"Are you blaming me? Blaming me for talking too much?" An Qi was very sensitive and immediately raised her voice.

"I do not……"

"Know your own identity, Daniel. Who are you to be so close to the princess?" But Angel didn't care at all and scolded Daniel in front of the crowded hotel entrance. She was just a cousin from a side branch, but she really acted like an elder brother and taught her a lesson?

"...Okay, Angie, go in. It's cold outside and I'll be worried if you get sick." Daniel didn't retort. Instead, he smiled at Angie and coaxed her into the restaurant.

Catherine had no idea about the quarrel between the brother and sister. The first snow had arrived and everyone on the street was hurrying home. Some had already put on thick winter clothes and wrapped themselves up like bears.

It looks so warm…Katherine thought as she passed them.

——I just don’t know how my father is doing. Have you succeeded in sending winter clothes to my mother?
