Li Xuanzu had just returned to his residence when he was shocked by the scene before him.
A large "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) character is pasted upside down in the center of the door, signifying that "good fortune has arrived."
The couplets on both sides read: "Sweep away old habits completely, uphold the five principles and four beauties to establish new customs." The horizontal scroll reads: "Farewell to the old year and welcome the new."
Some small red fabric trinkets were also hung at the door, adding a touch of warmth.
As soon as you enter, Fu Yu is still busy. She stands on a stool, tiptoes, and tries to hang several large red paper "Fu" characters high up.
"Hey, Grandpa, can you help me?" Upon seeing Li Xuanzu return, Fu Yu jumped off the stool, a rather dangerous move.
"Take a break, we can set it up tomorrow." Li Xuanzu said this, but he had already taken the things from Fu Yu's hands and started working.
"Ouyang, have you asked Leng An and the others?" Li Xuanzu asked Ouyang Ningxue, who was arranging furniture nearby, after finishing his work.
“I’ve already asked. They happen to be in Kyoto, not far from us. They can come over tomorrow afternoon,” Ouyang Ningxue replied, her hands still busy.
"Grandma, are you hungry? Shall I cook you some noodles?" Fu Yu poked her head out of the kitchen, her apron already tied, holding a bundle of noodles in her hand. "Sister Ouyang and I have already eaten."
“Okay, I’ll help you.” Li Xuanzu walked into the kitchen.
The two worked together quite well, one preparing the side dishes and the other cooking the noodles.
If you were to ask Li Xuanzu why he had no servants and was busy with all this, you might ask...
How can I let someone else experience this wonderfully comfortable atmosphere for me?
Soon, a steaming bowl of noodles was served.
Under Fu Yu's expectant gaze, Li Xuanzu began to eat heartily.
It's the kind of noodles cooked with a little lard and scallions, topped with a poached egg. It's ordinary, but it's really fragrant.
Fu Yu was also very happy to see Li Xuanzu eating heartily.
"Hehe, how about it? My cooking skills haven't gotten worse, have they?"
"Mmm, delicious." After changing bodies, Li Xuanzu, who had no appetite to begin with, had hardly eaten anything. This was the first time he had eaten normal food since changing bodies.
Then, the three of them continued decorating the house.
It must be said that Elder Huang was very responsive to Li Xuanzu and the others' needs. He not only fulfilled their requests but also did them very well. The house was really big, and it took them a long time to finish setting it up, even though none of them used their spiritual energy or other abilities.
But the process wasn't boring at all; on the contrary, they seemed to enjoy it.
Fu Yu looked around at the "work" in front of him, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to Li Xuanzu.
Li Xuanzu didn't speak, but simply placed his hand on Fu Yu's head and gently stroked the tip of her small nose.
Afterwards, I finished washing up.
"Um..." Fu Yu, dressed in a thick set of pajamas, sat on the sofa in the living room, her gaze occasionally glancing at Li Xuanzu, who was wiping his body, her face full of shyness.
Li Xuanzu's body was very well-proportioned, not so thin that he looked frail, nor so muscular that he looked strange.
"Grandma, it's quite cold today..."
"Hmm? It's getting cold, go turn on the heating." Li Xuanzu wiped his face with a towel, concealing the smile that had just appeared on his face.
"Ah...haha, heating...I've never seen this before." After receiving Li Xuanzu's reply, Fu Yu's expression fell for a moment, but was quickly replaced by embarrassment.
Although Li Xuanzu had never engaged in sexual relations, he had lived for nearly ten thousand years and was not stupid. He could see what Fu Yu was thinking.
I was just teasing this girl.
"What, shall I go to your bed and warm it up for you?" Li Xuanzu put down the towel covering his face, his sly smile becoming impossible to hide.
"Ahhh, you're bullying me!" Fu Yu covered her cheeks, which were burning from embarrassment, and said coquettishly.
"Alright, I'll go to sleep now. See you tomorrow." Li Xuanzu deliberately slowed his pace.
Seeing that Li Xuanzu was really going back to his room, Fu Yu went over and grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"You're so annoying, all you do is bully people." Seeing Li Xuanzu stop, Fu Yu hugged him from behind, pressing him tightly against Li Xuanzu's back.
"Haha, be frank, why are you so shy?" Li Xuanzu showed no shame whatsoever, turned around and carried Fu Yu into the room that had been prepared in advance, ignoring Fu Yu's soft gasps.
Night has fallen.
