While Lin Kedi was eating frozen tofu, Janessa was already here.

"Give me a bowl."

"Isn't it Christmas Eve for you tonight? You're not with your family - the bowl is there."

Janesa brought the dishes and chopsticks and looked at the dishes on the table.

"The meat you ordered is not enough. I'll order more meat."

After saying that, he opened the door and went out.

"It's so exciting."

Lin Kedi shook his head and then watched TV.

After a minute or so, Janessa came in again.

"Lin, there are people outside asking me, who am I?"

"How did you answer."

"Friend, is this the right answer?"

"——Yes."

After Lin Kedi answered this sentence, he fell silent for some reason.

But Janessa didn’t stop.

"What kind of TV is this? Are you watching pig and chicken raising while eating?"

"Oh, this is a program in our country, about getting rich."

"There is also a program like this in our country called Jamie Help You, which is also of this type."

"Right - by the way, you haven't answered my initial question yet. Aren't you going to spend time with your family tonight? It's Christmas Eve."

"I just had a meal with my parents and brother first, and then I came out to find you."

"It's only 7 o'clock now. Are you eating so early?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't it right? You don't stay together at night? I just looked at Instagram and your brother is staying at your house."

"I thought you must be alone and you are in a foreign country, so I came out to find you."

"How do you make sure I'm alone? What if I return to China?"

"Oh! Why do you have so many problems! Are you still not happy when I accompany you? Tell me, are you happy?"

"I'm happy. I'm happy to have someone to eat hot pot with me."

As he spoke, Lin Kedi picked up another piece of tripe, put it into the dipping dish, took a bite and ate it.

"This is delicious and crispy. What is it called? I didn't eat it last time."

"Mao tripe is the belly of a cow - by the way, didn't I say you don't eat these internal organs?"

"Who says you can't eat it? There is a famous dish in the Netherlands made of pork liver and pork belly."

"Well, it seems that many things on the Internet cannot be trusted."

"Of course, a lot of it on the Internet is fake. You are still young and fooling around with your sister."

"How old are you? You're my sister - by the way, I really don't know how old you are. I remember Minsk is only 18 or so. Are you his sister, 19 at most?"

"I'm 19 years old."

"Oh, he's only 2 years older than me."

"What are you muttering about?"

"Nothing - come and eat this, crispy and delicious."

"By the way, when are you going to winter training?"

"It seems to be January 5th."

"Where are we going? I should say somewhere warmer."

"There seems to be some event in Dubai. We are going to play a friendly match with the local team there."

"Dubai is also a good place for vacation. The Netherlands is too cold in winter, so it's good to go to a sunny place."

"What do you mean? If I go to Dubai, you will go too?"

"I just think Dubai is a great place for a winter vacation."

Lin Kedi looked at Janessa rinsing the meat calmly.

"Why do I feel like you are chasing me."

The hairy belly that Janessa picked up fell into the pot.

"What? What? What are you chasing?"

"What did you say? You said it so vaguely?"

"What do you mean by asking this question?"

"It's nothing. I didn't think there was anything wrong with you coming to play with me before. Today is Christmas Eve. In our country, it should be compared to New Year's Eve. You won't be with your family this night and come to see me? That can only mean -

”

"It means we are friends. I don't have many friends, but you are the friend I can talk to the most. Am I not your best friend?"

"My first friend after coming to the Netherlands was my roommate Filippo, my second friend was probably Frankie, and my third friend was probably Matthijs. You are my fourth friend."

Lin Kedi saw Janesa's expression getting more and more depressed.

"What's wrong? You don't look good."

"I'm only ranked fourth."

"Of course, friends have to come on a first-come, first-served basis. You and I only became familiar with each other in July, right?"

"How can you say this directly?"

"Janessa, why do I feel like I can't keep up with your thinking? Just say it directly."

"What did you just say about me chasing you?"

"Oh, um, it's just a joke. If you don't think it's good, I won't make such jokes in the future."

Janesa felt a little nervous at first, but when she heard Lin Kedi’s words, she woke up in an instant.

"Are you kidding? Lin, this kind of joke is not funny at all. Don't say it again."

Seeing Janesa's serious look, Lin Kedi nodded.

"ok, ok!"

Lin Kedi saw that there was only one potato chip left on the table.

"Janessa, do you want potatoes?"

"Don't eat it, the starch content is high!"

"Then I'll finish planting the potatoes. Let's leave after eating."

"Yeah"

Lin Kedi was not aware of the change in Janessa's mood.

After finishing the hot pot, Lin Kedi went home directly.

As for Janessa, she didn’t wait for Lin Kedi’s invitation and went home angrily.

Lin Kedi spent the Christmas holiday at home.

During this period, although the team did not train.

But Lin Kedi didn't dare to relax and kept training on his own.

The fourth floor of the apartment where Lin Kedi lives is a quite large gym.

Lin Kedi often goes there to run and practice strength.

Link is very satisfied with this, but he can't practice ball because he is afraid that he will lose the feeling in his feet.

So I started running with a ball in the park not far from my apartment.

It can be considered as a ball training.

As for this period of time, Lin Kedi did not take the initiative to find Janessa, and Janessa did not take the initiative to find Lin Kedi.

After entering the hot pot restaurant, Lin Kedi felt that Janessa only regarded him as a friend, and he also only regarded Janessa as a friend.

So I didn’t take the initiative to contact you.

Lin Kedi himself is a relatively homely person and prefers to be alone.
