Chaoying's small group [Zhongyingmei]

During the vacation, Colonel Rhodes paid out of his own pocket and invited Tony and Daisy to have dinner at the reserved restaurant.

The Spanish-style restaurant is magnificently decorated, like a palace. Many bright candles illuminate the huge crystal chandelier on the zenith. In the low and slow sound of music, Rhodes raised his red wine glass and followed Daisy who was sitting beside him. The milk cups touched lightly.

Both adults and children were dressed in formal attire, and Daisy's little princess hair accessories matched the champagne-colored gauze dress. When Tony took his daughter to the seat, Rhodes only thought that his friend had brought a small piece of gold.

"Thank you for the dinner, Uncle." Daisy said.

The waiters here affectionately called the dumplings "Miss Stark" like Tony, which made the four-year-old child feel a kind of adult prestige, and his small body also stood tall.

"If the deposit allows, I am willing to treat you to dinner all the time." Rhodes said.

"Then your Uncle Bord will go bankrupt in less than a week." Tony said coolly beside him.

The chairman didn't know how to look at him, and he didn't understand his own status - Daisy was specially invited by Rhodes. He just took advantage of his daughter and was called over to eat by the way, but he couldn't eat well , Insist on interrupting other people's conversation.

"Don't listen to his nonsense," Rhodes said.

He frantically wanted to throw out a harsh word to refute Tony, then thought about the balance in the bank card, and shut his mouth without confidence.

"Ma'am." Rhodes raised his hand and asked the waiter to come over, "serve a cup of ice cream to this Tony Sinister Stark."

"How am I spoiling the scenery?" Tony asked.

"I invited you out for a candlelight dinner. For such a romantic thing, you are full of money." Rhodes was very disgusted, "You are not only unromantic, but also vulgar."

"Is it romantic to have a candlelight dinner?" Daisy asked.

"If it makes people feel intoxicated, it's romantic," Rhodes said.

When Daisy thought about it, the chicken breast with roasted red peppers and nuts was delicious, the baked egg potato cake was also good, and the dessert lamb pudding was also very appetizing. She couldn't help being deeply intoxicated, feeling that Rhodes was very romantic.

Colonel Rhodes is happy to do romantic things for others, but it's a pity that he doesn't encounter many romantic things.

"Most of the people I deal with are men." Rhodes said, "And the most romantic thing Tony Stark has done to me is repairing my armor and hugging me from mid-air when the armor test failed."

"You're welcome, Roddy." Tony raised his glass to his friend, curling his lips into a smile.

"I'm not praising you!" Rhodes said.

He was not interested in Tony's old face that he had seen for many years, and turned his head, still talking to Daisy.

"What gift do you want to receive for Christmas this year?" Rhodes asked.

When it comes to giving gifts, he is always the most active one. Every time he sees the happy faces of children, he feels it is worth it.

"I want a lottery ticket." Daisy said.

"what?"

Tony answered for her daughter: "After the kindergarten classmates told her that the lottery can pay out money, she has always wanted to scratch one."

The daughter of the Stark family is looking forward to getting rich in this way. I'm afraid it's better to earn more money from online coding, eating and broadcasting.

Of course, this kind of thinking is so naive and cute, maybe Tony will really satisfy Daisy.

"Oh." Rhode fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he looked up at Tony again: "What are you going to give her?"

"I don't think I should say loudly in front of the recipient what gift I want to give." Tony rinsed his mouth with plain water, "and it won't give you a chance to compare."

Some people say that Tony Stark is actually a very naive person.

Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. To be Tony's friend, Mr. James Lord is actually very naive, but he doesn't want to admit it.

"Yes, not naive at all." Tony leisurely, dipped his fingers in water, and wrote on the table for Daisy to read, "I don't know whether to set the communication satellite login account password to 'war machine is super cool' or Who is it in all capital letters?"

A trace of embarrassment and deep remorse appeared on Rhodes' face.

The colonel regretted that he shouldn't have taken Tony out for dinner, it would be nice to let him be an empty-nest father at home.

"That's an exception, it doesn't explain anything," Rhodes said.

Tony continued: "So, when James Lord was a child, he once made a wish on the Christmas tree, saying that he wanted a..."

Before he finished speaking, Rhodes covered his mouth with a napkin.

"I shouldn't have said something after drinking." Rhodes said.

Baby Daisy watched the two adults play tricks, couldn't help sighing like a mother-in-law, felt two wrinkles appear on his face, and lowered his head to eat the pudding.

fair enough.

When he was with Rhodes, Tony was always bubbly, sometimes too bubbly and pissed off his friend.

Rhodes took back the napkin.

However, Tony still joked: "People who are 40 years old do this kind of thing."

"At the age of 40, I still don't know people well enough to make friends like you," Rhodes said.

The waiter brought up the ice cream and set it in front of Tony.

Rhodes looked more and more angry, reached out and grabbed Tony's ice cream, gave half to Daisy, and half to himself.

The big Stark died down, and the little Stark was eating ice cream, but suddenly turned his head and asked, "Uncle, what gift did you want when you were a child?"

Rhodes thought about it and said, "I want a unicorn feather."

He said to Daisy again, don't treat the difference too obviously.

"Wow." Daisy's eyes widened, "It's a unicorn feather!"

She also wanted to see Rod's unicorn feather.

However, Rhodes spread his hands: "There is no such thing, Daisy."

That's what adults say.

Unicorns are not birds, they only grow hairs, not feathers.

"How come you have such a strange idea, Roddy?" said the grown-ups.

When Rhodes was a child, he was particularly obsessed with unicorn feathers. Because he couldn't get this gift, he was secretly sad for a long time.

But when I grow up, I understand that not only is there no unicorn feathers in the world, there are no unicorns.

A unicorn is a creature that grows in a child's dream. The child grows into an adult and loses his childlike innocence. The unicorn that ran away will never come back.

"You just don't have feathers, Uncle?" Daisy patted Rhodes on the shoulder with regret on her face.

"Unicorns don't have feathers." Rhodes said with a smile.

The dinner was very enjoyable, even if Tony was making trouble, it didn't affect Rhodes' good mood.

While driving back to Stark's house, Daisy talks about her drawing in the car.

"Drawing in kindergarten." Daisy said, "Drawing at home too."

"I like your paintings." Rhodes said, "What have you painted recently?"

"He who lives in a donut," said Daisy. "It's as small as an ant, so it can live in a donut. If you're hungry, you eat a donut."

Rhode's eyes lit up: "That's so cool."

"Yes, Dad also said it was cool!" Daisy said.

"What if we finish the donuts?" Rhodes asked.

Daisy immediately said, "I'll find a new donut."

She arranged the people in the painting very well.

"Then I also want to be a person who lives in a donut." Rhodes said, "Maybe I can use my good teeth to gnaw a donut into a castle."

"Then I'm going to visit your house?" Daisy asked.

"You are welcome anytime."

Rhodes sent Stark and his daughter back home.

As soon as he left Daisy's house, he began to think about buying lottery tickets for his children, whether to buy a children's scratch card or a real adult's lottery ticket.

Christmas is getting closer and closer.

A few days later, Rhodes was wrapping gifts alone at home and was cutting the ribbon when he heard the doorbell ring.

It arrived with the courier and Tony's phone.

Rhode picked it up and saw the magnified friend's face on the phone screen: "Is it something from you?"

He shook the courier box, it was light and there was no sound, and he couldn't help being suspicious: "Could it be that there is a check in it."

"It's a package from Miss Daisy Stark." Tony said, "She said she would do a romantic thing for you."

Rhodes became curious, and ran to get the paper knife: "What is it romantic?"

He put the phone on the table, opened the express box, and there was nothing inside, except for a snow-white feather.

"What is this?" Rhodes asked with a smile.

Tony said, "It's a unicorn's feather."

Rhodes was startled, and hurriedly looked at the snow-white feather in his hand again.

"I remember telling her that unicorns don't get feathers," he said.

Tony moved the camera of his phone and took a picture of Daisy, who was huddled on the floor in a gray fluffy onesie.

"How could this be a unicorn's feather?" Rhodes asked Daisy.

"Unicorns have feathers, Uncle," said Daisy, "and Missy said yes."

"Where did the feathers come from?" Rhodes asked.

As soon as Daisy turned over, the uncle saw clearly that she was wearing the jumpsuit of a penguin cub, which was round and small, very cute.

Baby Daisy sat up, straightened her father's phone with her hand, and said seriously: "The unicorn doesn't have feathers on its body, but it can grow wings, okay?"

Daisy, like Rhodes, believes that there are unicorn feathers in the world.That night in the restaurant, she wasn't surprised at all, but felt sorry for Rhodes, he didn't get a feather.

What Rhode regrets is that when he was young, Internet shopping was probably not well developed, or even born, so his parents didn't know where to buy unicorn feathers.

Daisy asked Jarvis to search the Internet, and found it.

"I give you a unicorn feather, Uncle." Daisy said, "Thank you for inviting me to dinner romantically. May I be romantic to you too?"

Rhodes at the other end of the video looked at the feathers, and there seemed to be a thin watery light in his eyes.

He looked at the genuine goose feather in reality, then at Daisy, and quickly laughed again: "This is the most romantic thing I've ever experienced."

"More romantic than my princess hugging you?" Tony said out of the camera.

"Shut up!" Rhodes said.

Tony took the phone back.

When the camera changes, Rhodes vaguely sees that Tony is also wearing a onesie. The friend just took the phone back, and before he can zoom in, Rhodes sees the pocket of the onesie on his head again. cap.

It's the head of an emperor penguin.

Tony Stark cos emperor penguin at home.

"What can I do?" said the old father, "The most romantic thing she can think of now is that I play a penguin family with her."

Daisy huddled around Tony, happily said: "Daddy is very romantic!"
