Chapter 355 Christmas Dinner
December 25, 2001.
Under the leadership of Luo Guang and Jill, Chris, Claire, Leon, Steve, Rebecca, Barton, Carlos, Shirley and little Jack went to Chris's hometown to hold a Christmas party.
Little Jack's mother's health has been almost damaged by taking medicine over the years.
It was not completely cured before, but with the development of technology, new solutions may also appear, so under the recommendation of their own G.I.M.Z. unit boss, they came to the Lighthouse Country to find a professional doctor to see if the disease can be solved once and for all.
Just taking this opportunity, Jack's mother planned to let her son see the outside world and gain more experience, so after asking the boss, she asked Luo Guang and Jill who were also in the Lighthouse Country.

Luo Guang did not reveal Jack's identity. When he introduced him to Chris and the others, he only said that he was an employee of the G.I.M.Z. unit.
And the other child, Shirley, was able to leave the institute thanks to Luo Guang's slander in front of Simmons.
In fact, he did not say much. He just proposed from the perspective of research that Shirley should be exposed to the external environment in order to most accurately observe the impact of the latent G virus on her physiology.
Finally, Shirley was finally allowed to leave the institute for a day, and then Lyon had to send her back to the institute in person, which was actually to let Lyon be a guarantor.
Although there were various restrictions, being able to leave the institute for a day was already a very happy thing for Shirley.
During the day, Lyon and Claire took Shirley away, and then they took Shirley to buy a sky blue dress for the Christmas dinner, and then went to the amusement park in the afternoon, and finally went to the dinner.
During this time, Chris was busy preparing for the Christmas dinner with Steve and Rebecca.
Steve was caught as a laborer, and could only watch Claire and Leon go out with envy and jealousy.
In the evening, everyone was eating and chatting.
"Jill, I didn't expect you to become the director of the European branch of B.S.A.A. after Raccoon City." Carlos, who was very familiar with everyone, quickly got along with everyone and said after drinking a beer.
Luo Guang brought champagne, but it was easily drunk by everyone.
Although B.S.A.A. and G.I.M.Z. reached a cooperation, they had never met, so Carlos used this question as the beginning of the topic.
"Chris and I never thought that this day would come. We are not that kind, but B.S.A.A. is too short of manpower, so we have to take over."
"I think having a kind heart against biochemical is the most important quality for a high position." Little Jack drank a sip of orange juice and said.
"This young man is so good at talking at such a young age." Carlos laughed.
Little Jack, who will be 10 years old next year, was a little unhappy and said, "I'm already grown up."
"When you reach the age of drinking, you will be called grown up." Chris didn't know that little Jack was Wesker's son, and joked.
"Don't listen to him, good children can't drink." Luo Guang said to prevent little Jack from taking it seriously.
He was told by Jack's mother not to let Jack learn bad things.
Jack nodded obediently and said, "I know."
The women also nodded and strongly condemned Chris's behavior of trying to teach the child bad things.
"Tsk, Jack lives in that G.I.M.Z., and he has been taught bad things by those uncles every minute." Chris transferred the hatred.
Carlos quickly denied, "We don't have those bad uncles there, they are all good brothers. And the proportion of women in our army is still quite high, they are all beauties, okay!?"
"That's really good." Chris took a piece of fried chicken and said.
Hearing her brother say this, Claire replied: "By the way, brother, do you have a girlfriend? There are so many people in the American branch of B.S.A.A., is there no one suitable for you?"
Let alone the fact that Chris was choked by the fried chicken nuggets after hearing this, Leon said: "Chris is so strong now, he probably likes muscular women, right?"
Chris took a sip of beer, swallowed the fried chicken nuggets, and said: "Don't... don't talk nonsense..."
Steve added a mouthful to make Chris find a girlfriend quickly and not disturb him from finding a girlfriend, saying: "In fact, there are several female colleagues in the department who like Chris, but he rejected them all."
"My brother is so handsome, it's normal for someone to pursue him, but why did you refuse?" Claire gossiped.
Rebecca also smiled and agreed with Claire.
"I don't have the mind to fall in love now!" Chris said righteously.
Steve added: "If you keep going like this, the department will start to spread rumors that you are a pervert."
It's not just because Chris rejected all the women who admired him, but also because Chris often went to the gym with other male comrades to lift weights.
So Steve was not exaggerating. Compared with Chris, he was also very popular with women. Everyone treated him as a younger brother, so Steve had a good relationship with others and was very familiar with the internal trends of the department and everyone's thoughts.
"I'm not!" This made Chris a little anxious.
Leon patted Chris on the shoulder, looking like a love expert, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to introduce you to a few girls?"
Chris saw through Leon's little thoughts and said: "You are showing off your luck in love, right!?"

"Speaking of luck in love, I also know a lot of women." Carlos felt that he might have a common topic with Leon.
Luo Guang interrupted: "Carlos, but don't you often get humiliated by women?"
He felt that Carlos's was not called luck in love, but a disaster of love.
Although Carlos met a lot of women, they didn't develop into a relationship in the end.
"How can the failure of picking up be called humiliation? They just saw my frivolity and didn't have time to understand my inner gentleness and passion, so they rejected it."
Jill exposed: "In fact, others think that you approached with bad intentions."
Leon gave Carlos a thumbs up and smiled as a winner.
"Damn it!" Carlos was unwilling to accept it and opened another can of beer.
Claire said to Leon: "Leon, introduce some girls to my brother when you have time."
"Okay." Leon thought this was an interesting thing.
Shirley also found it interesting to listen to what everyone said, and felt that Claire and Leon were closer.
Jack saw that Shirley didn't say much, so he took the initiative to talk to her: "Sister Shirley, your skirt is so beautiful today."
This was learned from Wu Song (Luo Guang), the boss of the G.I.M.Z. army. At that time, his mother bought a new dress. After the boss praised her, his mother was happy all day.
"Thank you, this is what Claire picked for me." Shirley replied with a smile.
"Then brother Leon must pay the bill."
"Yes, Jack is really smart." Shirley had a good first impression of little Jack and smiled.
"Hehe, this is what my teacher taught me." The teacher here is not the teacher of Jack's school, but the G.I.M.Z. mercenaries.
Barton was surprised and said, "Your school actually teaches you to coax girls?"
"We teach you!" Carlos said proudly.
He saw Luo Guang's murderous eyes looking at him, and changed his words: "We teach intelligence analysis, so that he can learn to analyze based on the intelligence collected."
Shirley clasped her hands together and smiled: "Great, little Jack, do you usually learn these?"
Little Jack saw that Shirley was interested, and said excitedly: "I usually study in a private school, but those are basically boring cultural courses, which should be similar to your school. I like the military training courses at the G.I.M.Z. training ground on weekends the most. Although it is very hard, it is better than sitting in the classroom to study."
He talked about his own things without knowing Shirley's situation, and showed Shirley his trained biceps.
Claire was worried that Shirley would feel miserable about her current life after hearing these things, and was about to stop her but was stopped by Leon.
Under Steve's gaze, Leon whispered in Claire's ear: "It's rare to have a child to chat with her, and Shirley looks very happy."
Carlos saw Steve's look, put his arm around his shoulders, and whispered: "Do you like Claire?"
"You!" Steve suddenly lowered his voice and asked: "How do you know?"
"Everyone can see this, but you can't chase girls like this." Carlos gave Steve advice: "What you need to do now is to improve yourself, not to be jealous here."
"I know, so I left Terra Sefer and went to work at B.S.A.A., hoping to be able to stand on my own one day." Steve was a little depressed and said: "But in this case, I will have fewer opportunities to meet and communicate with Claire."
Carlos asked curiously: "Don't B.S.A.A. and Terra Sefer have cooperation?"
"But don't we often have combat missions."
"What about the recent educational publicity activities of B.S.A.A. and Terra Sefer?" Carlos said: "You can apply to go with Claire?"
"This..." Steve looked at Chris.
Chris felt the other party's gaze, and after hearing Carlos' explanation, he said: "Steve's combat ability is already very good now, but his temper is still a little impatient, otherwise I would have let you lead the team alone."
"I have changed a lot."
Chris did not deny the other party's efforts, and said: "I know, but it's not enough. However, I can give you a chance for education and publicity."
Carlos understood the situation as soon as he saw it, and teased: "This is a test given to you by your brother-in-law to make you a better person, so that you can be worthy of his sister."
"Huh?" Steve was surprised.
Chris drank some wine, although he was not drunk, but he talked a lot more, and replied: "I'm not an antique, and I can't stop Steve from liking my sister."
After a pause, he continued: "But at least you have to pass me first."
Claire hurriedly said: "Brother! Don't interfere in my love affairs."
"I know, so I am the first level, and you are the second level." Chris replied with a smile.
Luo Guang didn't mind asking, "Claire, what do you think of Leon?"
Steve was also concerned about this question and looked at Claire.
Leon was suddenly named and was stunned, but he didn't deny it first.
First, this question was asked to Claire, and second, if he refused immediately, it would seem like he disliked the other person.
Claire answered without hesitation: "Comrades."
"Yes, we are just comrades and friends." Leon echoed.
Although Leon wanted to fight back against Luo Guang, it seemed that Ashley's matter was not suitable to be said now, so he planned to tease Luo Guang when he was alone in the future.
"Really." Claire, who had no idea of ββfalling in love yet, said helplessly: "Originally, we talked about my brother finding a girlfriend, why did you turn to me?"
Rebecca replied: "Maybe it's because it's hard to imagine Chris falling in love? So it's not easy to talk about it?"
Jill understood what she meant, nodded and added: "It's a bit hard to imagine him falling in love."
Chris also has the potential to be a workaholic. In addition to work, he works out to exercise his muscles.
"I can't help it. I'm so busy now..." After opening a new bottle of beer, Chris said: "And my job may be sacrificed at any time... Things like falling in love and getting married are too far away for me."
He didn't want the person he liked or the person who liked him to be sad.
The originally warm atmosphere cooled down.
Except for Jack, who was whispering with Shirley, everyone else suddenly fell silent.
Jack stopped talking quickly and looked at everyone with a puzzled look.
He was just busy chatting with Shirley and didn't hear what others were talking about.
Claire said a little excitedly: "Don't talk nonsense! Brother, you will be fine."
"Yes, we will all be fine." Jill also nodded.
Rebecca said: "I will study hard and research those biochemical virus antidotes and vaccines."
She has almost finished her virology studies, and then she plans to join the B.S.A.A. research institute to help Chris and others.
"Why are you worried about these things now?" Luo Guang suddenly said, "If you are fine, do you plan to live alone until the end of your life? Aren't Jill and I a couple? The more you worry about sacrifice, the easier it is to sacrifice on the battlefield. Death will not find you when you are fully prepared, Chris." Jill nodded, "If you are really destined to be together, don't give up for this reason." "That's right." Chris forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I'm a little drunk and a little pessimistic." Patton understood the other party's feelings. As a person who has experienced it, he said, "Hey, Chris, you can also retreat to the second line like me." Now he works in the equipment research and development department of B.S.A.A., away from the front line, specializing in developing various equipment and weapons for frontline soldiers. Jill agreed, "That's right. Actually, I have this plan too. I have been studying management and other knowledge recently, and I am ready to step down."
Because of her improved physical ability, she learns very quickly. After being with Luo Guang, her character is no longer as upright as it was at the beginning. She can't tolerate any gray in her eyes. In short, she is more tactful.
Her current goal is to become an outstanding commander like Samus.
"Well, this is indeed a good choice, but we must first find someone to inherit the mantle and lead the team."
After Chris finished speaking, he looked at Jill and asked, "Do you have any good seedlings?"
Jill shook his head and said, "I'm still looking, but this doesn't affect my preparation now, right?"
Chris smiled and nodded. It seems that he also has to prepare a "retirement" plan in advance.
"Okay, there are still many days to come." Luo Guang raised the beer in his hand and said, "Cheers to us!"
"Cheers to us!"
Everyone toasted and drank it all.
