Steamed red snapper.

Charcoal grilled scallops.

Freshly mixed shredded Lingzhi.

Golden lotus seed soup, deep-fried mushrooms, stir-fried poultry meat.

…

On the dining table, the rich delicacies are like a feast of art, with various colors interweaving and embellishing the wide wooden dining table.

More dishes appeared on the table.

Until the entire desktop is filled.

For this small family.

The amount of dishes was obviously a bit too much.

However, looking at the table full of delicious food and the rising white mist, Xu Xi felt that this was just right.

The new house is empty and deserted, and it seems lonely at ordinary times. During this New Year, it is just right to create a lively atmosphere.

Whether it's money or not is not important.

Even Xu Xi himself could easily afford this meal, let alone several girls of the highest level.

"Is it not enough?"

Xu Xi thought so and considered whether to make two more dishes, but looking at the full table, he finally gave up the idea.

Just enough, any more would be a waste.

“Pah—”

Xu Xi turned on the bright lights.

Every corner of the house, whether in use or not, is now glowing with a bright white light, warmly illuminating the New Year's courtyard.

"Krisha, thank you for your hard work."

After doing all this, Xu Xi looked at the witch who was following closely beside him.

The witch, who always looks like she is 17, shook her head slightly. She brought Xu Xi a cup of hot tea with a skilled and serious posture.

"You don't need to worry about me..."

The clumsy witch never minds being used.

The premise is.

That person is from the Xu family, and can only be from the Xu family.

"Teacher, please have some tea..." Krisa handed hot tea to Xu Xi in a calm and indifferent tone.

"Thanks, Krisha," she blew lightly on the surface of the hot tea, making ripples.

Cold winter and hot tea are a perfect match.

The former brings a cold sting to people.

The latter uses a gentle warm current to soothe physical and mental fatigue until you are completely relaxed.

Gently shake the teacup and the tea dances in the cup.

Radiates refreshing tranquility.

Xu Xi felt that the witch's craftsmanship was getting better and better, and the most important thing was that the witch no longer used the bitter Qingshen Grass.

Xu Xi had experienced the taste of Qingshen Grass many times, but he still couldn't get used to it.

On the other hand, Krisa, who is emotionally indifferent, always has an expressionless and indifferent look every time she drinks the refreshing herbal tea.

Look at it from another angle.

Is this also an advantage of a witch?

Snap——

While thinking, Xu Xi had already finished the hot tea in the cup. He gently put down the cup and placed it on the tray in the witch's hand.

The New Year's Eve dinner is ready.

Before the meal officially starts.

Xu Xi is also preparing to do something.

He rubbed his finger across the empty ring and pulled out some New Year stickers from the supermarket, some very cheap trinkets that were not worth much.

Normally, Xu Xi prefers cleanliness and tidiness.

But once a year during the New Year's Eve.

Xu Xi felt that the New Year atmosphere was not strong enough with just the New Year's Eve dinner, so he wanted to add some small decorations.

"Teacher, let me help you."

With her gray-silver hair swaying lightly, Chrisa, who had been standing by Xu Xi's side, took the initiative to speak.

The necklace hangs from her fair neck.

It sways in front of my chest, like waves or traces of wind, rising and falling in silence.

"Okay, let's go together."

Xu Xi smiled and agreed to the witch's request.

They started from the kitchen, hanging a new calendar on the sliding door, or gently pasting a bright red "Fu" on the bedroom door.

With the power of a witch.

This kind of thing can actually be accomplished with just one thought.

But some things will lose their special meaning if you don’t do them yourself.

Under the illumination of the overhead light, two figures, one big and one small, cast long slanted shadows. It was a gentle light and also an accompanying shadow, blending together at the time of the New Year, yet clearly separated.

Krisa experienced this time together awkwardly.

She really wants to.

I want to very much.

Let this special moment last forever, with only her and Xu Xi...

Unfortunately, things don't always turn out the way we want.

Just as Xu Xi was leading Krisha to put various decorations on the houses in the courtyard, his sister and the princess came back from outside.

They looked exactly the same, without any trace of the fierce fighting spirit.

After seeing the actions of Xu Xi and the witch.

They all stood there in a daze.

Then, Xu Moli took the New Year decorations from Xu Xi.

"Brother, let me do it."

She said this, giving a reason that Xu Xi couldn't refuse: "My brother has been busy all day, and I want to do something for him."

"Oh well."

Under Krisha's calm gaze.

Xu Xi hesitated for a moment and handed the item in his hand to his sister.

Afterwards, Wu Yingxue also said that in order to express her gratitude to the Xu family for allowing her to stay for the New Year's Eve dinner, she would also help out.

"Sir, please take a rest first."

Before Xu could react.

The princess's little hand was already stretched out in front of him.

Meeting that sincere gaze, Xu Xi had no way of refusing, so he handed the remaining items in the space ring to the princess.

Krisa was still watching with a blank expression.

So far.

Wait until Xu Xi came to his senses.

He was now extremely free and all he had to do was wait for the girls to finish putting up the decorations before starting tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

"I always feel that..."

"It's a little eerily quiet."

Xu Xi was waiting in the living room, sitting back on the soft sofa.

Looking at the ceiling and then glancing sideways at the howling snow outside, I inexplicably feel that the current atmosphere is exceptionally quiet.

In that subtle silence, there is a hint of warmth and beauty.

It is the warmth called "people".

It’s the beauty called “home”.

Xu Xi lowered his head, his eyes moving between his palms, looking at the long and thin lines on them, and then summoned the simulator panel that only he could see.

Falling into deep thought.

"Simulated life is never good. After several simulations, it is full of regrets."

"Can you deny that the simulator has brought about changes in my real life?"

"The real me, the me now."

"It's a good life..."

Xu Xi chuckled. He knew that all these changes came from the simulator.

For this reason.

He reluctantly accepted the name "Beautiful Life Simulator".

However, all of this is like a dream...

There is an indescribable sense of disorientation and illusion...

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" While Xu Xi was distracted, Xu Moli had already finished pasting all the decorations. He walked up to him and asked curiously.

"Mo Li, can you pinch my hand off?"

"ah?"

The girl thought Xu's request was strange.

She confirmed again and again, making sure Xu was serious.

He stretched out two slender fingers, gently pinched the back of Xu Xi's hand, and twisted it slightly with extremely slight force.

Then quickly leave.

Afraid of hurting Xu Xi.

"Brother, is this okay?"

"Yes, that's fine."

Xu Xi moved his hands, feeling the real touch, and laughed out loud at his own actions.

Good thing it wasn’t a dream.
