    Steamed red lingcod.

    Charcoal grilled fresh scallops.

    Freshly tossed shredded ganoderma lucidum.

    Golden Lotus Seed Soup, Crispy Fried Dead Spirit Mushrooms, and Small Stir-Fried Luan Pork.

    ……

    On the dining table, the sumptuous food is like a feast of art, with various colors, interspersed on the wide wooden table.

    There were more dishes that appeared on the table one after another.

    Until the entire tabletop is taken up.

    For this little family.

    The number of dishes was obviously a bit much.

    But looking at the table full of food and gazing at the wisps of rising white mist, the Xu system felt that this was just right.

    Your new home is empty and cold, and it’s usually lonely, so it’s a good time to create some excitement for the new year.

    Money or no money, it doesn’t matter.

    Even the Xu system itself could easily afford this meal, let alone a few girls from the Supreme Realm.

    “Will it not be enough?”

    With this thought, Xu System contemplated whether to make two more dishes, but looking at the overflowing table, he eventually gave up on the idea.

    Just the right amount, any more than that would be a real waste.

    “Snap-“

    Xu Department turned on the bright lights.

    Every corner of the house, whether in use or not, is blazing white right now, warmly illuminating the courtyard for the New Year.

    “Krysia, hard at work.”

    After doing so, the Xu system looked over at the magical girl who was following closely beside her.

    The magical girl, who would always maintain her seventeen-year-old appearance, gently shook her head as she brought a cup of hot tea to the Xu system with a skillful and strict gesture.

    “You need not concern yourself with me ……”

    Clumsy magical girls never mind being [used].

    Prerequisite.

    That person is the Hsu Department, it can only be the Hsu Department.

    “Mentor, please have some tea ……,” Krysia said in a calm and indifferent tone, handing hot tea to Department Xu.

    “Thanks, Krysia,” the Xu system blew gently on the surface of the hot tea, causing water ripples to flood the surface.

    Cold winter and hot tea are an extremely appropriate pairing.

    The former delivers an icy sting.

    The latter is a gentle warmth that soothes the body and mind until the whole body and mind are relaxed.

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

    Exudes a refreshing serenity.

    The Xu system felt that the witch’s craftsmanship was getting better and better, and most importantly, the witch no longer used the bitter God-clearing Herb.

    The flavor of the Clear Spirit Grass had been experienced many times by System Xu, but he still couldn’t get used to it.

    On the contrary, it was the emotionally indifferent Krysia, who always had an expressionless and bland look whenever she drank the Clear Herb Tea.

    Look at it another way.

    Is that a magical girl’s advantage?

    Slap–

    In the midst of his thoughts, System Xu had already finished the hot tea in his cup, and he gently placed the teacup on the tray in the witch’s hand.

    New Year’s Eve dinner is ready.

    But before the official meal.

    The Hsu system is still ready to do something.

    Fingers lightly wiped the space ring, from which he took out the New Year’s stickers he had purchased at the supermarket, some very cheap and not very valuable knick-knacks.

    In normal times, the Xu system prefers to be clean and tidy.

    But once a year, on the occasion of the New Year’s Eve.

    Xu Department felt that only the New Year’s Eve dinner, that New Year’s Eve flavor is not strong, so he wanted to put up some small decorations.

    “Mentor, let me help you.”

    Gray-silver hair swaying lightly, Krysia, who had been guarding Xu System, took the initiative to speak.

    The necklace dangled from the white neck.

    It swayed on the chest, like waves, like wind trails, rising and falling up and down in a silent way.

    “Yeah, let’s get together then.”

    The Xu system smiled and agreed to the witch’s request.

    The two of them started in the kitchen and hung new calendars on the sliding doors, or in the bedroom doorways, gently taped bright red blessings.

    With the Witch’s ability.

    This kind of thing can actually be accomplished with a single thought.

    But there are some things that, if you don’t do them yourself, they lose that special meaning.

    A large and a small in the light of the overhead light, reflecting the long oblique shadow, that is a gentle light, but also follow the shadow, in the new year of the mingled, but also distinct.

    Krysia awkwardly experiences this time for two.

    She’d love to.

    Very, very much.

    Let this special time last forever, just her and Xu Department ……

    But things often do not turn out the way they should.

    Just as the Xu system was leading Krysia and putting up various decorations to the courtyard houses, her sister and the Sheriff returned from outside.

    They were unchanged in their appearance, not in the least bit wretched from the fierce battle.

    After seeing the movements of the Xu system and the witch.

    All of them froze in place.

    Then, Xu Moli received the New Year’s decorations from the Xu Department.

    “Brother, it’s better to let me do it.”

    She said so, giving a reason that the Xu system could not refuse: “Today has been a busy day for my elder brother, and I would like to do something for him.”

    “Then …… well.”

    Under Krysia’s calm gaze.

    With a slight hesitation, the Xu system handed over the item in his hand to his sister.

    Then, Wu Ying Xue also said that in order to show her gratitude to Department Xu for letting her stay for this New Year’s Eve dinner, she had to do some favors as well.

    “Sir, why don’t you take a break.”

    Before the Xu system could react.

    The Sheriff’s small hand, already stretched out in front of him.

    Meeting those sincere eyes, Department Xu couldn’t push back, so he handed over the remaining items within the spatial ring to the county princess as well.

    Krysia was still looking on with a blank face.

    To this point.

    Wait for the Xu system to react.

    He had become free to the point where he just had to wait for the girls to finish putting up the decorations and then tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner could begin.

    “It’s always been ……”

    “Some of it is awfully quiet.”

    The Xu system waited in the living room, sitting back on the soft couch.

    Looking up at the ceiling, and sideways at the whistling snowy sky outside, inexplicably, it felt like the atmosphere was unusually quiet right now.

    There was a faint warmth and beauty revealed in that subtle quiet.

    It’s called “human” coziness.

    It’s a beautiful thing called “home.”

    The Xu system looked down, his gaze moving between his palms, looking at the thin lines on them, and calling up the simulator panel that only he could see.

    In deep contemplation.

    “Sims are never pretty, and a few sims down the road are filled with all sorts of regrets.”

    “But there’s no denying that it was the simulator that created the change in my real life.”

    “The reality of who I am, right now.”

    “It’s kind of a good life ……”

    The Xu system laughed lightly, knowing that all of this change had originated from the simulator.

    Look at this.

    He then grudgingly, acknowledged the name ‘Good Life Simulator’.

    But it’s all so dream-like ……

    There’s something indescribably disorienting and unreal about ……

    “Elder brother, what are you thinking about?” , while Xu System was lost in thought, Xu Mo Li had already finished putting up all the decorations and walked up to him, inquiring curiously.

    “Mo Li, can you pinch my hand.”

    “Huh?”

    The girl thought that the Hsu Department’s request was strange.

    After she double-checked to make sure that Department Xu was serious.

    Stretching out his slender two fingers, he gently pinched the back of Xu System’s hand and twisted it slightly with an extremely subtle force.

    This was followed by a quick disengagement.

    Afraid of hurting the Xu system.

    “Brother, is this okay?”

    “Well, that’ll do.”

    The Xu system moved his palms, sensing that real touch, and was amused out loud by his own behavior.

    It’s so nice. It’s not a dream.
