Chapter100

Warmth x dinner x fireworks

——It’s snowy and full of silver.

This is not winter

Because when you are by my side

Birds sing, cicadas chirp, flowers bloom

--------------------------------

In the rush of preparations, the sky gradually darkened, and by the time Seleustin hung the lanterns on the top of the cave, it was already dusk.

"Seru-chan, come down quickly, there's a party going on."

Lachi held two dinner plates, raised his head and called to Seleustin who was lying on the wall and still struggling with the lamp.

"Yes, I understand. I'll be fine soon."

Seleustin rubbed her hands, blew hot air into her palms, and finally adjusted the direction of the row of lights.

Her coat is indeed very warm, but the disadvantage of the furry coat is that it is too inconvenient to move. After putting on the coat, Selustine can't even lift her arms and can only roll like a ball on the floor, so in order to work Conveniently, she is only wearing a slightly thin knitted woolen sweater now

When she turned over and landed on the ground, the cold air rushing from the entrance of the cave made her shiver involuntarily.

Ah, no matter what, Dongdao is really her nemesis in this life...

Seleustin was thinking this and was suddenly hugged by an oncoming figure.

"How's it going? Can you get warmer?"

Shanks was wearing a black coat with a fur collar. Although it was a bit heavy, it was extremely windproof and kept him warm.

At this moment, he was opening his coat and wrapping the cold and shivering Seleustin with the body heat that he had held for a long time.

Selustine was wrapped in his coat, and the feeling of being surrounded by warmth was so good. She raised her arms and wrapped them around Shanks' waist, pressed her forehead to his chest, and exhaled Turned into white mist in the cold environment

"Well, much better"

Shanks is actually not that afraid of the cold. This is the first time Seleustin has seen him wearing such a heavy coat.

"I was afraid that you would be cold, so I wore my thickest clothes."

He hugged her tighter and pressed his chin to her forehead, holding her tightly as if he was afraid that she would tremble with cold.

"If it's still going to be so cold in a while, put on this coat."

When Shanks spoke, Seleustin, who was pressed against his chest, could clearly feel the vibrations coming from his chest and the steady and powerful heartbeat.

Idiot

She buried her face in his coat, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips

"no need……"

"I'm not cold at all"

Behind them, Beckman, who had originally chased them to sit down, silently swallowed back the call that he almost blurted out.

Without saying a word, he turned around and left.

These two idiots don’t know when they will finally wake up.

----

When Shanks and Seleustin were all sitting around the campfire, the party officially started.

The same laughter as always, the sound of clinking wine glasses, and the sight of the crew singing and dancing around the flames

This is what Seleustin has always missed, the warmth and excitement of belonging to the red-haired pirates.

She picked up the wooden cup, took a sip, and smacked her lips in disappointment.

As she expected, it was juice

"Hey, Shanks, can I drink?"

Although some strange situations would always happen to her after drinking, but according to Shanks, as long as he is there, there will basically be no big problems.

After all, the prefix of Prohibition is: "when Shanks is not around", the prohibition of drinking alcohol

and so……

Shanks held the wine glass with one hand and his chin with the other hand. He turned his head and looked at Seleustin with a pleading face and pitiful blue eyes.

"This is a New Year's party, just drink a little, a little..."

Seleustin stretched out her fingers and held Shanks's cuffs, shaking them back and forth, as if he would roll around on the ground if he didn't agree to her.

Shanks rubbed his nose and glanced at Beckman who was chatting with others opposite him. At the speed of light, when he wasn't looking, he took the wine glass in his hand and the juice glass held by Selustine. Changed over

"Long live Shanks!"

Selustine's wish came true, holding the cup that looked unchanged on the surface but was actually filled with wine, and shouted happily

Shanks looked at her with a helpless smile, raised his glass, and drank up all the juice that originally belonged to Seleustin in the glass in two gulps.

Well, the sweet and sour taste is pretty good. Lucky must have put a lot of thought into it.

Shanks poured wine into the glass, stretched out his arms and clinked the glass with Lucky beside him.

"Lachi's cooking skills are really good, hahahahahaha"

Lucky took a sip of wine and blinked.

What's wrong?Suddenly complimented his cooking skills...

"Yes, I really don't know how I would have lived my life without Lachesang."

Lachi very considerately placed a plate of fruit in front of Seleustin. A little further away were various desserts. Even the other dishes close to her were on the sweet side. She really took great care of Seleustin. Sting's preferences

"Thank you for taking such good care of me, Rakisang. I'd like to toast you with this glass."

Lucky waved his hand, scratched his head shyly, and clinked glasses with Seleustin.

I didn’t care why Seleustine was holding a glass of “juice” but said something so drunk as “a toast to you.”

After taking a sip of wine, Selustine's cheeks turned red visibly, and her smile was brighter than usual.

Shanks looked at Seleustin's side face that was illuminated by the fire and looked particularly soft and beautiful. He didn't know what he was thinking and added another glass of wine to himself.

He just looked at her, his eyes so focused that he was noticed by Lucky who was talking to Seleustin.

Lucky looked at Shanks and then at Seleustin, as if he was waiting to see something serious. He silently swallowed a sip of wine and narrowed his sense of presence.

Seleustin was eating a sliced ​​honeydew melon with relish when Shanks suddenly reached out and put his arm around her shoulders.

Approaching her ear, Shanks lowered his voice and whispered to the small and red earlobe.

"Seliu, please come closer to me, otherwise we will die together if Beckman finds out."

Selustine, who had already downed two glasses of wine, had her eyes a little straight. She only felt the hot breath of Shanks's breath hitting the roots of her ears when he spoke, making it numb and itchy, so she didn't think much about the fragrance. The content of what Kes said was that she shrank towards him in a particularly obedient manner.

Holding her petite shoulders tightly, Shanks lowered his head and moved all the dishes that suit Seleustin's taste in front of him.

After doing all this, he turned around and said to Lucky with a smile.

"I've changed my taste recently, please put something sweet next time."

Put sweets in his place too?This way, the next time Seleustin sits with him, he won’t have to move the food, right?

Lucky understood Shanks' thinking in an instant and nodded frantically.

"No problem, just leave it to me! Boss!"

With his hands clenched into fists, Lucky looked high-spirited.

So that’s what happened, then I know what to do next

I want to contribute to the boss’ lifelong happiness!

From that day on, Seleustin's favorite food was often placed at Shanks' place, which forced her to stay very close to Shanks every time she ate, and from time to time she had to accept a wave of blows from Shanks. feeding

Of course, this is all a story for later.

Now Seleustin was quietly belching wine, her blue eyes were hazy but exceptionally bright.

"The dumplings are here, come and try them"

Jesus seems to be very enthusiastic about eating dumplings, and he happily participates in everything from making dumplings to cooking dumplings.

He brought two large plates of dumplings over and placed them in front of Shanks and others. His eyes looked at the others with anticipation in capital letters.

Seleustin didn't think much at all, picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth

"Crack-" "Ugh!"

The sound was so loud that it made people's teeth ache. They even wondered if her teeth would be broken.

Sure enough, as the "first person to eat crabs", Selustine was tricked

I just don’t know whether what she bit was a pistol bullet or a Bailey.

Selustine covered her cheeks with tears in her eyes.

Shanks threw away the tableware in his hand and surrounded her nervously and at a loss to ask.

"Are you okay? Why don't you spit it out first?"

Selustine lowered his head and waved his hands, chewed for a long time, and finally spit out a golden piece of Bailey.

"Ah, it's not a bullet..."

I said, can you please stop showing your disappointment so obviously?

Seleustin was no longer able to complain. She raised her head and stayed away from the remaining two plates of dumplings.

The others didn't seem to be deterred by her reaction. Instead, they seemed to have discovered something interesting. One by one, they rushed to get their hands on the dumplings on the plate.

"Congratulations, Seliu, you will have good luck next year."

A warm hand gently rubbed the top of her hair. In this still cold cave, the very comfortable temperature around Shanks made Seleustin squint her eyes sleepily.

"I hope so, hiccup~"

Seleustin sat cross-legged, took another sip of wine, and this time made a particularly crisp wine burp.

Beckman's eyes flew over in a flash, staring at the cup in Seleustin's hand.

"Seleu, what have you been drinking?"

He asked, with "Don't tell me it's wine or you'll be dead" written all over his face, and his tone was so gloomy that it was scary.

Selustine sobered up in an instant, and was frightened away from any drowsiness or dizziness.

When Shanks saw that something was not going well, he grabbed Seleustin's hand and ran out.

"Let's go out and set off fireworks, hahahahahaha"

The sight of this place without 300 taels of silver gave Beckman a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Jesus Bu was holding the dumpling that finally had the bullet in his mouth, looking at the backs of the two people leaving in a hurry with interest, and scolded Beckman who was standing aside.

"Hey, let me tell you, did the boss..." finally decide to take action and take down the person in one fell swoop?

Beckman glanced at him with a very calm expression.

"Look at him, do you think he looks like him?"

As a winner in life whose son is now 18 years old, Jesus boasts rich experience and shakes his head like a man who has experienced it.

"Forget it, I guess it's still early."

"Who said it wasn't"

----

The temperature outside the cave was naturally much lower. Seleustin exhaled a white breath, sniffed, and looked at Shanks with eyes full of smiles.

"Let's go and set off fireworks"

Shanks held her hand tightly, not ignoring the slight tremor coming from his palm.

"Is it cold? Why don't we go back?"

After drinking, Seloustine was particularly willful. She shook her head stubbornly, as if she was involved in setting off fireworks, and stubbornly pulled Shanks to the place where supplies were stored.

"It's okay, I don't feel cold at all"

Liar, my ears are obviously red from the cold

It was particularly difficult to walk on the snow-covered road at night, and Selustine felt dizzy again, and her steps were a little staggering.

Shanks sighed inaudibly, stepped forward to pick him up, and walked step by step towards where the fireworks were.

"I can go by myself..."

"Okay, okay, then can you give me some face and let me hold you?" Face... Shanks still has to give him face.

"Um…"

"But we came out at the right time. It will be midnight soon, which is perfect for setting off fireworks."

As soon as Selustine leaned into his arms, she began to feel sleepy again. She opened her misty blue eyes in confusion and did not reply.

Shanks hugged her tighter and stayed quiet with her, saying nothing all the way.

The two soon arrived at the place where the fireworks were stored

"We're here, Seleu"

Shanks called to the person leaning on his chest, but did not hear the answer

"Seleu?"

He lowered his head and saw that the little girl smelling of alcohol was sleeping soundly. She no longer looked like she was clamoring to watch the fireworks just now.

Sighing helplessly, he was about to hug her and return when he suddenly heard her murmurings in the silence.

"Fireworks..."

There's nothing he can do, he just can't do anything to her

After placing the person under the tree, Shanks arranged several fireworks and slowly lit the fuses.

It's probably close to midnight

He thought like this, standing alone and waiting for the fireworks to take off.

The fuse burned out, and the next second, colorful fireworks rose into the sky and flew straight into the sky.

Shanks looked up at the sky, but suddenly a delicate arm hugged his waist from behind.

"Shanks"

Small flames bloom into gorgeous flowers in the sky, with a halo that cannot be matched by the warm sunshine during the day.

That's beauty beyond words

"Happy New Year"

At this moment, in a white world, under a sky illuminated by fireworks

He held her in his arms, slowly leaned down, and got closer to the pair of blue eyes that reflected his figure.

No, beauty is not just fireworks that only exist for a moment and then disappear.

But the person in my arms

And those lips that are better than all the beauty in the world
