Ji Zhinan was taken by Mrs. Gu to the living room downstairs, where a pile of red things were placed on the coffee table.

There is also an extra-large Christmas tree next to it, which is more than three meters high and takes up a large area. It is placed near the fireplace.

There were colorful lights hanging on it and electricity, and there were gift boxes of all sizes hanging on the Christmas tree, each with a different packaging.

The maids were huddled together, excitedly discussing something. When they saw Madam Gu bringing Ji Zhinan down, they immediately quieted down and said respectfully in unison, "Hello, Miss Ji."

Ji Zhinan nodded slightly, "Hello."

Mrs. Gu pulled her to sit on the sofa next to her, took a pair of couplets from the coffee table, and said excitedly, "You've been living in China. I heard that Chinese people always put up couplets and window decorations during the New Year. I picked out these patterns myself. What do you think? Do you like them?"

The New Year in Country Y is Christmas in China. The Gu family already has a Christmas tree and they also put up couplets, giving it a mixed feeling of Chinese and Western styles.

Ji Zhinan smiled and said, "This is Country Y, just post some Christmas-themed things."

"That won't work." Madam Gu said, "You are Chinese, so we must respect Chinese traditions."

After a pause, Madam Gu looked at Ji Zhinan and asked, "Don't you like what I picked?"

She threw the couplets onto the coffee table and said, "Then let's go out and buy something you like. Christmas is the day after tomorrow."

Ji Zhinan felt warm in his heart and pulled Mrs. Gu who was about to stand up.

Mrs. Gu turned and looked at her.

"It looks good." She said, "I like it very much. The window paper-cuts are very beautiful, and the Chinese knots are also very beautiful."

Madam Gu studied her expression and asked seriously, "Really?"

Ji Zhinan nodded.

Seeing that she looked sincere and didn't lie, Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again: "As long as you like it."

"Um."

………

While Gu Yibei was talking to his father upstairs, Mrs. Gu took Ji Zhinan and the servants to decorate the living room.

Apart from the Christmas tree placed there, everything else has a Chinese flavor, red window grilles, red couplets, red blessing characters, red Chinese knots, at a glance, they are all dazzling red, which looks particularly festive.

In the evening, the maid prepared a large and sumptuous dinner to entertain Ji Zhinan and Gu Yibei.

Sitting at the white dining table, Gu Yibei was next to Ji Zhinan.

The maid brought water for washing hands. After washing my hands, I wiped them clean. The maid also thoughtfully set the table.

This was the first time Ji Zhinan met Gu Yibei's father, and he looked much younger than he had imagined.

His eyebrows and eyes are 50% similar to Gu Yibei's, but his temperament is very different from Gu Yibei's. Although Gu Yibei is calm and composed, he still has the feeling of a young man. Gu Yibei's father is no longer young, and he has a sense of stability and maturity.

I have to say that the father and son are very similar in some ways. Father Gu is serious and often has an indifferent expression on his face. He speaks very handsomely and has a cool feeling.

Only when he saw Madam Gu would his lips, which were pursed into a straight line, curl up slightly, and a hint of smile appear in his eyes.

"This is Nan Nan, the one I've told you about so many times. She's our son's girlfriend in China. What do you think? She's pretty, isn't she?"

Gu's father and Gu Yibei were not good at speaking, and Ji Zhinan didn't talk much either. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu livened up the atmosphere at the dinner table, making it less awkward.
