Main Protagonist: Powerful, devoted, and wealthy Beast Emperor (top) Gorgeous, gentle, nine-tailed red fox (bottom)
Supporting Protagonist: A fluffy, chubby golden nine-tailed fox cub.
The windowpane was covered with frost, and snowflakes were falling continuously outside.
Hogwarts was already a vast expanse of white.
Looking out of Shen Yulou's window, one could see Haig dragging a cedar tree through the snow.
It should be the Christmas tree in the Great Hall of Hogwarts; Professor Flitwick loved decorating these things.
In the office.
In a good mood, Shen Yulou had already filled her room with Christmas decorations.
The floor was covered with a red plush carpet, and there was a reindeer cushion on the sofa.
The Christmas tree in the corner was also adorned with red gems, stockings, and bells.
These were all chosen by the little one himself.
"Jingle bells~jingle bells~Jingle all the way..."
A gramophone in the corner was playing cheerful Christmas songs, and the little one sat next to the sofa, swaying his head along.
The nine little tails also started dancing to the music.
"Phew, Christmas is almost here."
Shen Yulou looked outside and waved his wand to add more fire to his fireplace.
"Hopefully no one is going to come out of my fireplace right now."
He shook his leg, blew hot air into his palm, and rubbed it together.
But at that moment, the office door was opened.
"Tian? What brings you here?"
Shen Yulou's eyes lit up when he saw Tian's figure.
"We've come to give our teacher Christmas presents."
Little Tian placed his luggage at the office door and proudly pulled out two exquisite gift bags from behind him.
"This is for you, and this is for the little nine-tailed fox."
As it was moved, the bag made a clinking sound of gallons.
"Let me guess, did Tian give us Galleons?"
Shen Yulou tilted his head and took the bag.
Tian chuckled.
"I don't know what the teacher and the little nine-tailed fox like, so I thought I'd give you some Galleons."
"That way, the teacher can use the Galleons I gave you to buy whatever she likes!"
"Okay, thanks Tian, you're so smart."
Shen Yulou had no complaints. He stepped forward and kissed Tian's forehead.
Some people marvel at the children's imaginative ideas and their uncontaminated thoughts.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
Seeing the cub reaching out its paws for a hug, Tian leaned forward and saw Shen Yulou's table full of ribbons and letters.
"I'm preparing gifts for you. Isn't it Christmas?"
“I don’t have any relatives here, so I thought I’d take advantage of the free time to prepare more.”
Shen Yulou picked up the ribbon and deftly cut it with a swift, precise motion.
"Teacher, you can come to my house!"
Baby Tian was very excited when she heard the news and raised her hand to make the suggestion.
“Every Christmas, it’s just my brother and me in the González family.”
"The manor was deserted, as was the Christmas dinner."
"It would be even better if the teacher could bring the nine-tailed fox cub along, then our manor would be much more lively."
"The teacher can stay at my house and spend the entire Christmas holiday at González Estate before coming back."
Tian became more and more excited as she spoke, wishing she could hold the baby right now and take Shen Yulou's hand as they walked into the fireplace.
"Is it really possible? Will it be too much trouble for you?"
Shen Yulou's eyes also began to light up, and a strand of hair on the top of his head stood up.
"No, no, go ahead, go ahead."
"Please, teacher, please go, please go!"
Tian ran to Shen Yulou's side and grabbed his hand, shaking it frantically.
He looked at Shen Yulou with pitiful eyes.
I feel that if Shen Yulou refuses, Tian will cry.
"Okay, okay, go ahead."
Shen Yulou nodded, unwilling to miss this opportunity.
Of course, I also wanted to fulfill the child's wish and make him happy.
Upon hearing Shen Yulou's reply, Tian was extremely excited and jumped into the air with her arms and legs spread wide.
"Yay! The teacher agreed! That's wonderful!"
"Please bring your luggage in and rest first."
