I don’t know when it started, but Wanda gradually found that she seemed to have developed an indescribable feeling for the handsome and sunny young man in front of her.
Perhaps it was his attitude toward life that had affected her during the month they had spent together.
Especially that time at the Chinese restaurant.
The attitude toward life she had felt while exploring Levi’s spiritual world had continued to deeply influence Wanda.
This Oriental man had an inexplicable attraction for her.
At the moment, Wanda saw that he didn’t speak and couldn’t help feeling a little depressed.
“Are you sure you won’t come?
I’ve already prepared all the dishes in advance.”
“Since the Scarlet Witch is cooking for herself, I definitely can’t miss it.”
Levi’s silence wasn’t hesitation.
It was purely because he had been caught off guard.
In the past, it was normal for the sexy witch to invite him out for a meal or occasionally take a walk and chat.
Between friends, that was perfectly fine.
An unsolicited invitation to dinner at her home was another matter entirely.
Think about it, a lonely man and a lonely woman…
Cough, cough, cough…
Levi admitted that, for a moment, his thoughts had gone in the wrong direction.
Wanda was inviting him as a guest, which was obviously in line with the open and free-spirited nature of America.
It was just a meal.
After a while, the two arrived at the suite next door.
As Wanda had said, there were several dishes on the table, including Chinese dishes, with bowls and chopsticks beside the plates.
“Wanda, you’re practically Chinese now.”
Levi was a little surprised to find that there were no knives or forks on the dining table.
“You took me to eat Chinese food for an entire month.
If I still didn’t know how to use chopsticks, wouldn’t I look stupid?”
Wanda gave him a blank look.
After eating Chinese food for a month, she had already mastered the use of chopsticks.
“No, Wanda, you’re smart.”
Levi sat down in his chair and couldn’t wait to pick up his chopsticks and take a big bite of the braised pork.
The fat was rich without being greasy, perfectly balanced with the lean meat, and the flavor blossomed across his taste buds.
Paired with a mouthful of plump, steaming rice, it made him want to eat even more.
Levi ate several mouthfuls of meat with rice, then raised his head with an expression of genuine surprise.
“This is your first time cooking Chinese food?”
“The second time.
Seeing his surprised expression, Wanda couldn’t help feeling pleased.
“I was wrong just now.
You’re not only smart, you’re a genius.”
Levi thought about it.
As a Chinese person, he had cooked braised pork several times, but the taste had always been terrible.
Once, he hadn’t controlled the heat properly, and what he’d ended up with was basically a dry pot…
But he wasn’t going to say that.
It would be embarrassing.
Still, he had to admit that cooking really did require some skill.
“How can there be so many geniuses?
You say that every time.”
Wanda was speechless and smiled helplessly.
This guy loved to flatter her and always liked calling her a genius whenever magic came up.
Even though she hadn’t even touched a magic book.
“Because I like telling the truth.”
Levi wasn’t joking.
“Some people are destined to be chosen ones in certain ways.
You can’t deny that.”
“Eat more vegetables and talk less.”
Wanda was speechless.
This guy really did talk a lot while eating.
Wanda, who was usually quiet, had also become much more talkative.
She looked at the handsome face sitting across from her as he ate, and seemed to think of something.
“Levi, you’re right.
Five years have passed in the real world, and I should look forward.”
“Have you figured it out?”
Levi was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
He knew the witch was referring to Vision.
During the month they had spent together, Wanda had mentioned this matter to him several times.
Most of the time, they would talk about it halfway, then simply brush it aside with a few words.
Now, hearing Wanda say this,
Although he could sense that the witch’s emotions had stabilized and that she was gradually letting go of the matter concerning Vision, hearing her say it herself was another thing entirely!
“Mm-hmm.”
Wanda nodded.
“Congratulations on taking another step toward your new life.”
Seeing this, Levi raised his glass and took a sip of wine.
Woo-hoo…
He no longer had to worry about Chaos Magic getting out of control.
Thinking about it, he asked, “So, do you have any new goals?”
“The Avengers have changed.
Steve and Tony are gone, and I don’t want to go back.”
Wanda said this as she drank some red wine.
Her old friends were no longer there, so there was no point in going back.
She had never particularly liked participating in missions in the first place.
Going back to participate in missions would be nothing more than becoming a tool for the government to kill people.
After experiencing the Sokovia Accords incident, she knew that most of the people in power didn’t treat the Avengers like human beings at all.
They only wanted to keep the superheroes under their control.
“Wanda, your cooking is so good.
You might as well open a Chinese restaurant in the future.
I’d be happy to be your loyal customer.”
After eating the last piece of braised pork, Levi was still a little unsatisfied.
“It’s the first time I’ve eaten braised pork that’s genuinely fat without being greasy.”
“Seasoning and heat bring out the balance between the fat and lean meat, while the flavor of the cooking makes you want to savor it afterward…”
“Well…
Actually, Levi, I invited you to dinner tonight because there’s one more thing…”
Wanda interrupted him, staring intently at him with her beautiful eyes glowing with a faint scarlet light.
“What’s up?”
Hearing this,
Levi was puzzled, and his eyes fell on Wanda’s face.
She had drunk some wine, and her fair face was flushed as crimson as her codename, seemingly covered in a delicate pink hue that gave her an indescribable charm.
For a moment, in the cool room, the atmosphere seemed to grow a little strange…
