Chapter 3: Drawing and Eating with Luci
Reasonably speaking, Luci's drawings are just the drawings of a little girl, but looking at the content, she might have some talent!
Mika's eyes lit up, and after praising and encouraging her, he asked, "Luci, do you want your father to teach you how to draw?"
In her previous life, Mika had learned and mastered all kinds of disciplines to be able to adapt and disguise herself in various situations.
It has to be said that the job of an assassin can be perhaps one of the most demanding occupations out there! The ability to hide among the myriad of people and professions is not easy! Besides, Mika was never caught despite being wanted by the authorities!
Mika doesn't like to draw or paint, but he is interested in music. He often listens to music and watches movies in his spare time. Besides decorating his safe houses with paints and training, he hasn't bothered with other things, but to show off in front of Luci, his skill is enough!
As Luci watches with a shocked expression, she takes the black pen and draws softly, giving the girl in the drawing long hair. Adding a chibi expression to her face and adding the chiffon skirt outfit with flower buds, and small leather shoes that Luci is currently wearing to the stick figure in the drawing. She also creates an illusion of wind and a bit of water in the drawing!
"Wow, Dad is amazing!" Luci can't help but adore the drawing and worships her dad in her heart.
Mika hears her daughter's adoration and feels a sense of accomplishment in her heart!
Although Mika doesn't want to spoil Luci's jubilant mood, she can't help but ask, "Luci, look who Daddy has drawn!"
"I know, I know it's Luci!" Luci happily says that the girl in the drawing is her and feels a little embarrassed, so she hugs her father and laughs.
***
For most of the rest of the afternoon, Mika and Luci spend time drawing together.
You can hear Luci's happy laughter constantly.
However, she doesn't know that her father is actually happier than she is, because she knows he hasn't made Luci cry!
Perhaps Luci is aware that her current father is not the simple, kind-hearted father she knew before, but innocent Luci just knows that her father is her father and will not be suspicious about his changes. She will not question why her father is so skilled at drawing when in earlier times, when she drew with her father, he could not draw so well.
The little girl is now a fan of his!
***
Happy times pass quickly and, when the sun goes down, the street lights outside the window come on.
Luci is tired because she is still young and fell asleep in her father's arms.
Mika carefully carries her to bed and covers her slowly so as not to wake her up.
In April, the weather is a bit cold, so she looked in the closet and found an extra blanket for Luci.
"Everything is going well so far, but the problem is what to eat for dinner."
The apartment she currently lives in is about 20 square meters and every room is small, especially the kitchen.
With her huge build, moving around the house has become problematic. In his previous life he lived well and lived in a huge mansion.
Regarding cooking, the previous Mika only learned to cook basic things, but in his previous life, Mika lived alone and had learned to cook all kinds of dishes, from Latin meals to Western and Oriental dishes!
Now all he wants to do is cook exquisite food for Luci! However, he started scratching his head....
"Even the best cook can't cook without ingredients..."
There are only a few eggs and sausages left in the fridge. The rice left in storage is stale. Even if I used it for cooking, I could only make it taste like wax.
She could go to the grocery store, but it takes about 30 minutes each way, but she doesn't feel right leaving Luci home alone.
So, the problem again is what should she eat? There are several restaurants and street stalls around, but they can be harmful to Luci!
Mika's line of sight finally feels on the boxes of instant noodles on the corner. Instant noodles are the food that the former Mika would eat after his night shift when he is tired and hungry.
"Instant noodles are the lonely food and the good friend of people who can't sleep." Looking at these boxes of instant noodles, he can't help but think of all the lonely moments he had and sighed with emotions from his heart, feeling sad.
***
In the small apartment, while Mika is busy working in the kitchen, a fragrance slowly came into the bedroom as the ventilation is terrible. The little girl in bed, sleeping like a sleeping beauty with cheeks that look like silk, suddenly blushes. Perhaps due to the seductive scent, the little girl's little nose twitches slightly and a greedy little tongue comes out of her mouth and licks her lips.
Back in the kitchen, Mika is pacing back and forth. As the flames do their best to escape from the bottom of the pan, the rich fragrance wafts as the flavor packet mixes with the oil.
Next, Mika moves to cut the sausages into even slices. At this moment, Mika's ear twitches and he hears a "su su su su" sound from the direction of the room. he looks at the girl who rubs her sleepy eyes and walks barefoot. Luci looks anxiously for her father and cries out "Daddy, daddy..."
"Daddy's here!" Mika walks quickly to Luci and hugs her.
In her father's arms, Luci feels relieved and gradually becomes more sober. Hugging her father's neck, she pouts and says, "Daddy, Luci's tummy is hungry!"
"Daddy's making you dinner!" Mika helps Luci straighten her hair and comforts her with a smile. As Luci watches him cook, Mika couldn't help but show off his techniques. Watching him wash the eggs and throw them away, Luci gasps softly! Then he picks up the kitchen knife and the egg falls on the knife without a crack. Without waiting for Luci to react, she gives her right hand and the egg flies through the air, and uses the knife to cut the egg shell, which makes the egg become two perfect halves.
"Wow!" Luci screams with her mouth wide open and quickly covers her mouth like a lady. Actually, Mika had not practiced these moves before and had only seen them in movies and online videos. However, since he used to train with sword techniques, those martial arts are child's play for him. Looking at the happy Luci, he feels satisfied and slowly dips the egg into the soup.
He covers the boiling soup with the lid of the pot and adds scallions to the noodles. "When daddy finishes boiling the cabbage, we can have dinner!".
***
Mika carries the pot of instant noodles into the living room and reminded her that it's hot. Luci greedily sniffed the fragrance in the air and followed her father into the living room.
Lifting the lid, Mika smells the fragrance. "Smells good! Luci, we can eat now!" Luci's tummy growls and she stands up impatiently. Luci is sensible and helps her father wash the utensils, pulls out her exclusive stool and sits obediently on it, waiting for her meal.
Luci looks at the pot of noodles and is surprised! Mika has turned the egg into an attractive heart shape with her cooking techniques, looking like a work of art. Luci saw Mika picking up another egg for her and immediately shouts, "I want that! I want that!"
It seems that children are attracted to attractive things! Fortunately, Mika was prepared for this early and used the soup ladle to fish out the egg, keeping the original appearance safe. Luci watches anxiously, worried that the egg will be destroyed.
After transporting the egg, they began to eat. Luci has been eating alone for the past 6 months while Diana prepared for her return and has no time to care for her. Sometimes, Luci even has to eat and play in Diana's recording room while she works.
Luci looks at her plate and hesitates to eat.
"Daddy, can we not eat the egg? It's so cute..."
Mika laughs and picks up the egg, "Try to eat some first!"
Luci takes a small bite, and the egg yolk starts to overflow from the corners of her mouth and a drop stains her clothes, scaring her!
Mika comes out with a paper towel and wipes the stain on her clothes, but feels uncomfortable at the thought of Luci being sad.
However, Luci's eyes sparkle, her little tongue greedily licked the corner. very delicious! This medium egg cooked well, the taste is super fragrant, the taste is the best!
