A few blocks away from Times Square, the number of people here began to increase.

The crowd got out of the car, Robert and Catherine embraced each other, Joseph was held by Luke, and Claire jumped after Luke, following the crowd that was getting more and more crowded.

The family squeezed to the "crossroads of the world", and the streets were already crowded with people.

Claire is better, she has seen similar situations many times when she participated in charity performances.

Joseph, however, widened his eyes on Luke's shoulder, looked condescendingly at the dense crowd of human heads around him, and exclaimed, "There are so many people." ”

Everyone laughed.

Every New Year's Day, a New Year's Eve performance is held here in Times Square, so that people who come to join in the fun will not be bored waiting there.

Soon singers began to perform on a temporary platform that extended from the second floor.

Claire tiptoed into Luke's ear and shouted, "Guess who is performing this year?" ”

Luke looked at her grinning and didn't have to think about it, "Sheila? ”

Claire laughed and couldn't help but slap him a few times in a row: "Can't you be stupid?" ”

Luke: "I'm so stupid, you still love my brother." ”

Claire: "Yes, it's cute to be silly." ”

"You're the cutest." Luke, huh.

Claire was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Ah, you are the cutest, no, you are the cutest one!" ”

In the midst of the laughter, Sheila appeared.

As a veteran DIVA, Batman's rumored girlfriend, the market suddenly picked up to a big hit this year, and she was welcomed like a tsunami.

But there are too many boring melon eaters, and they change from "Sheila" to "Batman" when they shout and shout, as if they want to summon Batman like this.

It's a pity that they don't have a bat lamp, and they are destined to only think about it.

Sheila started the show calmly, she was used to these people putting herself and Batman together, she repeatedly denied it, to no avail, and she could only let these people coax her.

After a while, everyone's joking thoughts finally faded, and they began to shake their heads from side to side to follow the rhythm of the magical prelude.

"Cheap Thrills", a cheerful and brainwashing rhythm electronic dance song, also from Luke, is his return gift to Sheila for taking care of Claire.

Sheila's new song, which was released only a month ago, has been on Billboard number one for four weeks now, and it looks like it's going to continue.

Previously, Sheila relied on the popularity brought by Batman and the earthquake charity performance, and she could be regarded as returning to the front line by "going the left way".

But this super hot single with four consecutive championships, the veteran DIVA finally staged the drama of the return of the king and stabilized his explosive popularity this year.

At the end of the song, everyone's heads were shaking unconsciously, and their bodies were also swinging, as if the magical music was not far away.

After a few seconds, Sheila bowed and left the venue smiling, and the cheers began to ring out, and the hardest "listeners" shouted out to Batman in unison again.

Sheila on stage smiled and shook her head, as if to say something.

But the microphone in her hand had left her mouth, and the noise around her was so loud that almost everyone couldn't hear it.

Luke, who has the ability of primary sonic waves, added a little speculation from the small half sentence he heard, and made up this sentence - "If he really comes, I will be happier than you",

Luke could only smile and shake his head at this, Batman's dormancy period has not yet passed.

And isn't Batman's Christmas just over? I also listened to Sheila sing on the spot, and spent New Year's Eve with you melon-eating parties! It's really a blessing in the midst of blessings, and I don't know how to be blessed

These unreliable thoughts flashed through his mind, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

These melon-eating parties are his strong backing, and if he wants to revere the prestige of the American map, he really has to rely on the promotion of these melon-eating parties.

He is not in a hurry, and he will have a lot of time in the future to slowly complete this "god-making" plan.

In a warm atmosphere, the time came to eleven fifty-nine in the evening.

Looking at the countdown displayed on the large electronic clock, everyone began to shout "Twenty-nine, twenty-eight...... Ten, nine...... Three, two, one! ”

Fireworks exploded in the sky, accompanied by the cheers of the crowd.

2004 passed, 2005 arrived.

……

Early the next morning, Claire wakes up early and sneaks under the Christmas tree in the living room of the cottage to be the first to open the Christmas presents.

The thief slumped in a small pink-wrapped gift box, and with a smile on her face, she muttered softly, "I wonder what kind of gift the stupid Luke has prepared for me this year?" I hope there won't be any more learning materials like this prank, or I'll have to beat him up. ”

She shook the box gently, but couldn't hear it.

Taking a deep breath, she reached for the ribbon that bound the box.

Suddenly, she sensed that something was wrong next to her and turned her head sharply to look.

On the single sofa a few meters away, Luke is holding a tablet in one hand, with headphones in hand, and slowly stuffing a piece of almond chocolate chip cookie into his mouth in the other.

Click!

There was a small crackling sound, and he bit off a small piece of cookie, chewing it slowly.

Claire looked stunned for a moment, then suddenly jumped up, rushed over and grabbed him by the neck: "Say, when did you come?" What did you hear? ”

Luke's hands deftly avoided her charge.

Although his body was shaken, he didn't forget to take another bite of the cookie, and replied with a nonchalant face: "I'll be sitting here at six o'clock, so can you explain why you think that such a small box can hold study materials?" ”

Claire's face was full of vigilance: "Because, it can completely put down a USB flash drive, and a USB flash drive is enough for me to graduate from college." ”

Luke: The logic of "......" is really tight, and there are no flaws.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Claire asked him in turn, "Why didn't I see you when I came in?" You must have lied. ”

"I have a special skill for concealing my presence so that others don't notice my presence." Luke grimaced.

Claire: "Huh? ”

Luke motioned for her to sit down before he demonstrated, "Look, that's it. ”

As he spoke, his hand placed the cookie on the side of his mouth very slowly and evenly, and then bit down a small piece very slowly, chewing slowly.

This time, there was really no sound at all.

Claire was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "Why are you kidding me?" ”

"I'm telling the truth." Luke said: "If you don't believe me, I'll show you again." ”

As he spoke, he repeated his actions again.

A small head poked out from the bedroom passage: "Luke, Claire, what are you doing?" ”

Luke: "......"

Claire: "......"

She finally came to her senses from being fooled, and yelled in frustration: "Luke, you blockbuster! Didn't Joseph see you? His hands pounded on him.
