After smoking a cigarette in unspeakable silence, Huo Yan sat in the darkness for a long time. Finally, he stood up and put a large box on the ground into the space button.

I finished the meal alone, oh, I can’t say I was alone.

The robots Xiaoba and Xiaohua, who are important members of the family, also sat at the dining table to have dinner together. Although Xiaohua does not eat human food, she was provided with enough Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng and other foods.

After dinner, the family of three sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the fireworks show.

The fireworks display on Ice Planet was organized by the military, a rare opportunity for the entire population to enjoy themselves year-round. Because of the protective shield that had been raised that night, Ice Planet experienced no wind or snow, leaving only a dazzling expanse of ice and snow.

The entire community where Kongyu lived became noisy, and every household came out of their homes to enjoy the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky.

Looking at the crowded square in front of the community, Kong Yu was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw so many people in the community.

Among them were many people wearing Flame Army uniforms, some holding their wives' hands and looking up at the clear sky together, while others were carrying their children wrapped in cotton balls on their shoulders, pointing at the fireworks in the sky that were constantly changing shapes and teasing them.

Amid the bang bang bang sounds of fireworks, Kong Yu leaned on Xiao Ba, holding the small flower with lush branches and leaves in his arms, and a long-lost peace rose in his heart.

The atmosphere of worldly life is what soothes the hearts of ordinary people the most!

After watching the fireworks show, Kong Yu returned to the kitchen to cook dumplings.

According to the customs on Earth, people should stay up all night on this night. Xiao Ba has already found a few movies and is waiting to watch them with it after dinner when he is free.

Huo Yan did not take a flying vehicle, but walked all the way here from the military area. Fortunately, everyone was busy celebrating the festival and watching the fireworks, and no one noticed that Major General Huo appeared here quietly.

When Kong Yu heard the knock on the door, he was wondering who would come at this time. When he saw Huo Yan standing outside the door, his heart suddenly beat violently.

The man was very tall and stood at the door, almost blocking all the view of the video doorbell.

Remembering the man's somewhat strange reaction when they last met, Kong Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally opened the door.

A faint aroma of wine wafted into Kong Yu's nose.

Have you been drinking?

Huo Yan looked at the young man who appeared from the door. He was wearing a red sweater, which made his skin look rosy. His slightly groomed black hair was even more dazzling, and his whole body exuded a warm aura.

"Major General Huo, why are you here?"

Hearing the young man's slightly unfamiliar address, Huo Yan's eyes twitched slightly, and then he regained his composure.

"Happy New Year, can I come in?"

If it were in the past, Huo Yan would have mistakenly thought that Kong Yu was someone sent to him by some force in the Federation. When Kong Yu asked this question, Huo Yan would have had several excuses waiting to be told.

But at this moment, in this situation, Huo Yan didn't want to say those useless words, so he chose a more direct way.

"Of course, Happy New Year."

Now that people have arrived at the door, of course we have to let them in if there is space left.

Hearing the hum of boiling water coming from the kitchen, Kong Yu hurriedly said, "Major General, please sit down first. I'll go cook the dumplings."

I cooked two servings of dumplings. I guess Huo Yan had already eaten them by this time. Even if he hadn't, there was nothing I could do. He only made this many dumplings in total, and even dinner was only one serving.

Huo Yan took off his coat and sat on the sofa, his eyes fixed on the young man busy in the kitchen. It seemed that most of the time when they were alone, they were eating.

Should he also learn how to cook?

The heating in Kongyu was turned up high, and the warm temperature made Huo Yan, who had already drunk a lot of wine, a little drowsy.

This was the first time he completely relaxed and felt tired in a place that didn't belong to him. It had been a long time since he had felt this way. It seemed that since he was five years old, he had been accustomed to light sleep so that he could hide quickly when Chu Yu went crazy.

Humans are truly baffling and incomprehensible animals.

When Kong Yu put the dumplings on the dining table, he saw that the man had fallen asleep with his head tilted to one side.

Kong Yu looked at the time, then at the steaming dumplings on the table, and finally pushed him awake in a very cold voice:

"Major General, it's time to eat dumplings."

The voice was a little light. Although Huo Yan was drowsy, the habit he had developed after years of life and death could not disappear overnight. When Kong Yu approached, he had already woken up.

The reason why I kept my eyes closed was that I wanted to see what Kong Yu would do.

When Kong Yu pushed him awake, Huo Yan sighed helplessly in his heart.

Dumplings are also a rare traditional custom preserved in the interstellar space. Huo Yan is not unfamiliar with it, but he doesn't like to eat them very much. The main reason is that the chef of Liejun is particularly fond of innovation, and there are always surprises in the dumpling fillings every time.

But this is made when I have spare time, so the taste shouldn’t be too strange.

This was at home, and perhaps Senior Brother had figured things out, Kong Yu felt more relaxed when facing Huo Yan. It was as if the two of them had returned to their days on the fringe planet of Number One. Kong Yu ate while opening the Star Network to watch tonight's show.

After dinner, seeing that Huo Yan had no intention of leaving, Kong Yu took the initiative to ask if they wanted to watch a movie together.

Major General Huo nestled in the large and soft sofa and readily agreed.

Since there was one more person at home, I didn’t choose the movie that Xiaoba chose. Instead, I chose a movie about how humans build a new home in the stars.

Xiao Ba actually doesn’t care what movies he watches, or rather, the robot’s mission is to serve humans. When the master has a need, the robot will unconditionally put the master’s wishes first.

Huo Yan didn't care what kind of movie they were watching; he hadn't come here to watch a movie. In the dim light, the two of them sat on either side of the sofa, occasionally chatting about the plot of the movie.

Only then did Kong Yu realize that every action taken by interstellar humans in the process of establishing a new regime, which he thought was unreasonable, could be answered perfectly by Huo Yan.

As they talked, they talked about the current federal government. Huo Yan didn't want to talk more about this with Kong Yu, but seeing that he seemed very interested, he continued to talk a few more words about the topic.

When the movie was about to end, Kong Yu heard a sound of even breathing. He looked in the direction of the sound, but saw that the man who was always energetic had fallen asleep at some point.

I took a look at the time outside, but in the end I didn't wake anyone up and send them back.

After waiting for the movie to end, they switched to the one Xiaoba had chosen earlier. Without changing seats, the man and the robot watched the movie with great interest.

The next day, Kong Yu was awakened by the humming sounds of small animals.

He was lying on the sofa at some point, still covered with the blanket from the bedroom.

He felt a tingling sensation on his hanging hand, as if something was licking his fingers.
