Chapter 219

Because everyone was busy filming, they didn't go home for Christmas.

But that didn't mean they wouldn't celebrate.

Therefore, Robert, Scarlett, Elizabeth, Steve, Chris, and the others arranged everything needed for the holiday early in the morning—Christmas trees, colorful decorations, strings of lights—they were all bustling about!

They even wrote Christmas cards to send to their families back home!

……

No one was prepared to film, and Yu Mo was, of course, supportive of this.

Though, well, he didn't have much of a feeling for Christmas; it would be a different story if it were the Spring Festival.

But as soon as he thought of that, Yu Mo suddenly remembered.

He hadn't been home for a few years himself.

Of course, Yu Mo didn't have much of a connection to those so-called parents of his. Why? Because as someone who had transmigrated, those people were technically family, but, well, not really.

Still, he would send messages and call during holidays to let them know he was safe.

……

"Yu Mo, what are you thinking about?"

Just then, a pleasant voice rang out. Yu Mo looked up and saw Olsen—that is, Wanda—sitting on the step next to him, wearing a charming smile.

"Oh, it's nothing!" Coming back to his senses, he glanced at her and smiled. "I just saw you all setting up decorations, the Christmas tree and all that, and it reminded me of the atmosphere of the New Year back in our Dragon Country!"

"New Year..." Tilting her head, Olsen paused. She thought Yu Mo was homesick, so she smiled and said gently, "I know the New Year in your Dragon Country refers to the Spring Festival. Are you homesick?"

Homesick...

This topic made Yu Mo pause. How to put it?

"I suppose so!" After a brief hesitation, Yu Mo replied.

But Olsen noticed something unusual and laughed, "I can see something's not quite right in your eyes~~"

"Is that so..." Yu Mo became interested. "What's not right?"

"Hmm..." Resting her delicate chin in her hand, Olsen looked up at the sky, thought seriously for a moment, and then smiled at Yu Mo. "It's hard to say, but I can tell you're thinking about a lot of things!"

"Not bad at all!" Yu Mo was somewhat surprised.

"That's right!" Olsen said, looking a bit proud.

Over the past three months of contact, the Marvel cast had all become good friends with Yu Mo, and she was no exception.

Therefore, Olsen suddenly comforted him, "Don't think too much. If you're homesick, go home and visit. If there's something you want to do, do it as soon as possible. Why keep struggling with it in your heart, right?"

Hearing this, Yu Mo looked at Olsen with newfound respect.

Damn, that was actually quite profound!

After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Mo said, "Thank you for the advice. I think it makes a lot of sense!"

"Ha..." Olsen laughed happily, then asked, "By the way, do you have any plans for tonight?"

Tonight...

Yu Mo thought for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think I have anything going on!"

Hearing that he was free, Olsen said excitedly, "That's great! It's Christmas today, and since we can't go home, we're planning to spend it together tonight. You have to join us!"

"Me?" He pointed at himself, stunned.

"Yes!" Olsen nodded quickly. "Sister Sister Yaya has already agreed, so naturally, you have to agree too!"

"This is everyone's idea!"

Sure enough, Yu Mo glanced over and saw Robert, Scarlett, Chris, and the others nearby, all giving him a 'you know' look.

This made Yu Mo feel it was quite interesting!

So he said, "Alright, I can't refuse such a kind offer!"

"Can't refuse..." Hearing this Chinese phrase, Olsen tilted her head, puzzled. "What does that mean?"

"Oh, it means I'm very happy to receive your invitation and will definitely be there!"

"Oh, I see!"

Not doubting him, Olsen smiled. "Then let's get to work together!"

"Of course!"

Yu Mo didn't refuse; since they definitely weren't filming today, a day off was fine.

Thus, Yu Mo simply joined them.

……

The steps for foreigners celebrating Christmas are actually similar to the Spring Festival back home. The first is decorating with festive items.

The second is decorating the Christmas tree, which is similar to putting up spring couplets at home.

The third is writing Christmas cards.

The fourth is preparing dinner!

It's equivalent to the grand feast on New Year's Eve!

Because there were so many people—besides Olsen, Robert, Scarlett, and Chris, there was also Mark who played the Hulk, Brolin who played Thanos, Evans, and the actors for Doctor Strange, Bucky, Anthony, Joe, and so on! Plus Tong Tong Tong Liya and Yu Mo, it was quite a crowd.

Everyone gathered together to eat delicious food, such as roast turkey, corn porridge, yule logs, gingerbread, and so on!

However, Yu Mo didn't have much interest in these.

Especially the roast turkey; foreigners' roast turkey sounds great, but in reality, turkey meat is hard to eat, and most people would definitely find it tasteless.

So Yu Mo simply prepared a whole roasted lamb to add to their meal.

Consequently, when they saw Yu Mo using a large roasting oven bought from Chinatown to make a whole roasted lamb, everyone was stunned.

Damn, Director Yu Mo can cook?!

……

But when the roasted lamb began to sizzle with oil and was sprinkled with cumin, it must be said that Scarlett, Olsen, and the other women were truly tempted.

"So fragrant!"

Scarlett couldn't help but lean in to smell it and asked Yu Mo, "Yu Mo, when can we eat this?"

"It's ready now!"

Since it was mostly roasted, Yu Mo used a knife to cut a piece of meat from the lamb leg and handed it to Scarlett.

After just one taste, she couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

"How is it? How is it?"

Robert and the others didn't even need to be asked; they were already dying of hunger. But they couldn't help it—even though they had eaten roast lamb or lamb meat before, this method seemed different, so they wanted to ask about the taste.

They saw Scarlett, under the gaze of so many people, having no time to talk, eating a large mouthful with great satisfaction. Only after swallowing did she say to the group, "It's delicious, so fragrant!"

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't hold back and hurried over to surround it.

Robert even said to Chris, "Hey, Chris, bring me that turkey knife; there's not enough here!"

Once Chris brought it over, everyone didn't stand on ceremony, cutting pieces with small knives. After tasting a bite, Robert couldn't help but nod repeatedly while eating, amazed and satisfied. "Mmm... the taste is fantastic!"

"Yu Mo!"

He couldn't help but look at Yu Mo. "Is this unique to the Dragon Country?"

"Of course!" Yu Mo was certain of this. Although roast whole lamb exists in many places, when it comes to authenticity, it's definitely the Dragon Country.

Even the seasoning for the roast meat was brought from home.

Olsen was even more tempted, eating several pieces in a row before asking Yu Mo in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to make such delicious food. Yu Mo, can you make us a few more dishes from your hometown?"

That's right!

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes lit up!

They had long heard that Dragon Country cuisine was vast, but they hadn't had much contact with it.

Isn't this the perfect opportunity?!

Damn it... but when Yu Mo heard this, he rolled his eyes.

No, I'm here to be a director, not a chef!
