Now that the weather was warm, sleeping outdoors was quite comfortable, but there were a lot of mosquitoes. Lina quietly walked over.
This folding bed she had bought was too short, and Zuko's long legs stuck out. The width was not enough either. Overall, it looked like an adult sleeping in a child's bed. Lina found it amusing and turned back.
Dave was still waiting in the living room.
"Why aren't you going to sleep?" she asked.
Dave pointed to Zuko and whispered, "You didn't bring him back?"
"Did he go out on his own? Or did our parents kick him out?"
"He went out on his own," replied Dave. "Oh, by the way, are you hungry? I can get you something to eat!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the kitchen, retrieving a plate of lobster risotto.
"It's kept warm in the pot!" he exclaimed.
Lina was taken aback and looked at Dave. The cooking did not seem like something her mother would do, and lobsters were expensive. Even if her mother bought lobsters, she would cook them whole, not just pick the meat out for fried rice.
"This..."
Dave smiled mysteriously. "This is a special treat from the door guardian for you!"
"What?"
Dave told her, "Before dinner, he went out for a while. Mom and dad didn't know what he was up to, so they didn't stop him. When he returned shortly after, he was carrying four big lobsters in his hands!"
Dave was excitedly gesturing with his hands. "Four of them, so big! Four whole lobsters!"
Although Lina was not in charge of the household, she knew that prices were skyrocketing. Forget four lobsters this big—even buying one would require Melissa to carefully consider it.
"Hey, Lina!" Dave continued to perform for her, imitating Zuko's unrecognizable walk. "Look, he came in like this, and then he casually tossed the lobsters on the table with a flick of his hand!
