#279 - Mom is coming
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
In recent days, Liang Yue has clearly felt that the atmosphere at school is about to explode, and the students all seem very excited, even his quiet Japanese deskmate.
Only some exchange students from East Asia and Central Asia in their international class seemed a little more normal.
Only after asking around did he learn that Christmas was coming soon, and this day in the United States was equivalent to their New Year.
The situation in the island country is rather special. As an East Asian country, they started celebrating Christmas more than a hundred years ago.
In fact, even in China, in recent years, some businesses have been hyping up Christmas as a legitimate holiday, especially among young people.
Sending roses and chocolates is just an entry-level tactic. Those with a little more wealth will send their girlfriends a wave of cosmetics and brand-name items as a gift offensive.
In terms of the intricacies of gift-giving, it seems to be more elaborate than in genuine Christian countries, and it has儼然 been炒成 a genuine marketing carnival.
Unfortunately, compared to the fiery atmosphere created by the public and businesses.
The state level has no special reaction to this, neither encouraging nor opposing it.
Because this means that he will have more free time to cultivate wholeheartedly~
In addition, it seems that gift-giving during Christmas in the United States is not just a matter between boyfriends and girlfriends, but also between some familiar and close friends.
If calculated this way, Liang Yue will be quite busy.
First, he has to give gifts to Sam and Pete, those two fools, as well as his Japanese deskmate and Gwen Stacy, Aunt Liu, and Nurse Lu Yao also seem to deserve a little something.
He also seems to have to show some goodwill to Tony, the big dog tycoon, after all, he is a partner.
And then, although separated by vast oceans, he can't forget his old mother in China, he has to send something~
Furthermore, Teacher Jingxiang and others are from the island country and have a tradition of celebrating Christmas, so he has to send something…
Calculating it this way, Liang Yue really has to spend time preparing!
Although, in his own heart, he feels that this kind of thing is a bit troublesome and not very meaningful, but a sense of ritual is sometimes indispensable.
However, this is not the end of it. When Liang Yue returned home, the real trouble had just begun.
… …
"Hello~ Aunt Liu, what's the matter?"
… …
"Oh, oh~! The household registration and ID documents have been processed? Your efficiency is really high~ Hehe!"
… …
"Christmas? Don't mention it~ I'm worried about what gifts to prepare. You'll definitely have a share then."
… …
"What!?? My mom is coming over? And wants to stay for a while longer?"
… …
"Surprise… Of course, I'm surprised. Isn't it~ It's been a long time since I saw her…"
… …
"She also knows about the Xavier Mansion? And said she wants to change the name herself…"
… …
"Um… Um, it's great if she comes over for a while, but I was originally planning to go home for the New Year. Listening to you, my mom seems to be planning to spend it here."
… …
"You're coming too? That's great…"
… …
"Um~ When the time comes, our family will have a good drink…"
… …
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Don't forget to notify me when the time comes, so I can pick you up from the airport."
… …
"Don't need me to pick you up? Won't delay my studies~ What am I~"
… …
"Okay, that's fine too, goodbye Aunt Liu…"
......
After hanging up the phone, Liang Yue gently rubbed his stiff cheeks, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
It was like when he was a child, he hid a little secret, and now it was about to be discovered by his parents.
Liang Yue's heart was already starting to feel a little feverish, his blood was surging, and even the thoughts in his brain began to flow involuntarily.
"What to do? Mom is coming, which means the mansion can't be kept a secret…"
"However, the matter of the mansion is nothing, anyway, there is a cooperation agreement with Tony, the key is Teacher Jingxiang and them, it's not easy to explain!
Or~ should I let them stay in the base world for a few days during Christmas and not come out?"
"No, a group of young ladies were still discussing how to spend it a few days ago…"
"Moreover, Mom may have to stay in the United States for a while this time, at least until after the Lunar New Year before returning home."
"But when the time comes, how will I explain to the old lady…"
"One is okay, two is barely acceptable, but what about three, four, five, six, seven, eight?"
"Maids, servants, and butlers?"
"Or should I find another place and let them stay outside for a while?"
"No, no, Aunt Liu must have already revealed the matter of me helping them get household registration. I originally claimed that I had found a few smuggled nannies…"
Sinking into the wide sofa, Liang Yue scratched his scalp vigorously while his mind raced, and then picked up the honey grapefruit tea in front of him and took a big gulp.
As the sour and astringent liquid entered his throat, this guy's brain suddenly twitched, and then a bold idea flashed through his mind.
"… … Or, should I bring Mom and Aunt Liu into the base world together?"
"This world is too dangerous, with Marvel, Transformers, and a bunch of assassins popping up from time to time. I estimate that Thanos will come out in a few years.
It's time to consider the issue of retreat."
"Calculating it this way, it is also feasible. Aunt Liu is hard to say, Mom should~"
"Okay, let's tentatively decide on this first, bring Mom into the village first, and then let her decide about Aunt Liu!"
… …
In a flash, another week has passed.
On this day, after Liang Yue sent out the gifts he had prepared in advance for the four little friends in the class, he took their return gifts and returned to his rented apartment.
After taking out the black-cyan Harley Iron Shield he had just bought some time ago, he hurried to Xavier Mansion, located in the northern suburbs, across most of New York City from the school.
Tomorrow is the so-called Christmas. Although he had not received a phone notification in advance, his mother and Aunt Liu were already in the manor at this time.
This was the news that Teacher Jingxiang had sent through the villager platform when Liang Yue was still in class…
Hurrying all the way, in about less than an hour, this guy had already rushed to the manor along the asphalt road.
Stall the engine, park the car, pull out the key~
Looking up, he saw a tall lady already standing in front of the hall door, holding a cup of coffee steaming with heat in her hand.
A black trench coat, black trousers, black leather shoes, a white floral collar lining, jet-black hair, long and scattered.
Big eyes, a high nose bridge, small lips, an oval face, skin that is overly white, but gives people a very healthy feeling.
Looking at this figure at a glance will make your whole person quiet down.
Especially those eyes, as if they have magic, like deep lakes, calm and unhurried, but full of spirituality that is hard to ignore.
