Six celebrities were singing, and behind them were countless dancers, dancing to the song.
It was a lively event. The song was uplifting too.
Avery and Elliot sat on the sofa. They looked at the TV in unison.
"Ben called me," Elliot said. "He said that Lilith got second in the preliminary round."
"I know. Lilith called me."
"They're returning to Aryadelle tomorrow."
"Hmm." This topic made Avery forget to ask Elliot who he had gone out to see a moment ago. "Will Lilith be continuing to stay in the hotel? That's not good, right?" "Are you thinking of asking her to stay in my place?" Elliot asked.
"She can stay at mine too! It's New Year’s! Everyone is with family, yet we ask Lilith to stay at a hotel. That's too cold."
"I'll listen to you. She’ll stay wherever you place her," Elliot said. He looked at her clear eyes. He hesitated for a while before saying, "Just now, I was—"
"Avery, come see if the ravioli is cooked or not!" Adrian called out to Avery in the kitchen.
She immediately got up from the sofa and headed to the kitchen.
Elliot had gotten up early that day. He was extremely tired at that moment. He walked to the kitchen and said to Avery, "Avery, I’ll return to the room to wash up first." "Okay! Go!" Avery had a bowl in her hand. A hot steaming ravioli was in the bowl. Under the steam, her eyes sparkled.
After Elliot returned to the bedroom, Avery and Adrian ate the ravioli while watching TV.
Twenty minutes later, they finished eating. Avery took the bowls to the dishwasher and exited the kitchen.
"Adrian, go to bed! I'm going to get prepared for bed too." It was already late at night.
