Chapter 182: The Witch Stares at You Emotionlessly

Steamed Red Spirit Fish.

Charcoal-grilled Fresh Scallops.

Freshly Mixed Ganoderma Slices.

Golden Lotus Seed Soup, Crispy Fried Death Spirit Mushrooms, Stir-fried Phoenix Bird Meat.

…

On the dining table, a lavish feast of delicacies resembles an art exhibition, with various colors interweaving and adorning the large wooden table.

More dishes continue to appear on the table.

Until the entire surface is fully occupied.

For this small household.

The amount of food is clearly a bit excessive.

But looking at the full table of delicacies and the rising wisps of steam, Xu Xi feels it’s just right.

The new home is empty and cold, usually quite lonely, so during this New Year season, it’s perfect to create a bustling atmosphere.

Money isn’t important.

Even Xu Xi himself can easily afford this meal, let alone the girls of supreme realms.

“Could it still not be enough?”

Xu Xi ponders, considering whether to make a couple more dishes, but seeing the fully laden table, he ultimately gives up the idea.

Moderation is key; any more would truly be wasteful.

“Click—”

Xu Xi turns on the bright lights.

Every corner of the house, whether in use or not, now glows with a warm white light, illuminating the New Year’s courtyard.

“Cressa, thank you for your hard work.”

After doing all this, Xu Xi looks at the witch beside him.

The witch, forever maintaining the appearance of a 17-year-old, gently shakes her head. She brings Xu Xi a cup of hot tea, her movements skilled and precise.

“You don’t need to worry about me…”

The clumsy witch never minds being “used.”

Provided that.

The person is Xu Xi, it can only be Xu Xi.

“Mentor, please have some tea…”, Cressa says in a calm, indifferent tone, handing the hot tea to Xu Xi.

“Thanks, Cressa”, Xu Xi gently blows on the surface of the hot tea, causing ripples.

The cold winter and hot tea are a perfect match.

The former brings a biting chill.

The latter soothes the fatigue of body and mind with a gentle warmth, until complete relaxation.

Gently shaking the teacup, the tea dances lightly within.

Exuding a refreshing tranquility.

Xu Xi feels that the witch’s skills have improved, and most importantly, she no longer uses the bitter Spirit-Clearing Herb.

The taste of the Spirit-Clearing Herb, Xu Xi has experienced many times, but he still can’t get used to it.

On the other hand, the emotionally indifferent Cressa always maintains an expressionless demeanor when drinking Spirit-Clearing Herb tea.

From another perspective.

Could this be considered the witch’s advantage?

Clink—

Lost in thought, Xu Xi has already finished the hot tea in his cup. He gently places the cup on the tray in the witch’s hands.

The New Year’s Eve dinner is ready.

But before officially starting the meal.

Xu Xi still has some things to do.

With a light touch on the Spatial Ring, he takes out some New Year decorations bought from the supermarket, cheap trinkets of little value.

Normally, Xu Xi prefers cleanliness and tidiness.

But during this once-a-year New Year’s Eve.

Xu Xi feels that just having the New Year’s Eve dinner isn’t festive enough, so he wants to put up some small decorations.

“Mentor, let me help you.”

Her silver-gray hair swaying lightly, Cressa, who has been by Xu Xi’s side, offers to help.

The necklace hangs from her fair neck.

Swaying in front of her chest, like waves, like traces of wind, rising and falling silently.

“Alright, let’s do it together.”

Xu Xi smiles, agreeing to the witch’s request.

Starting from the kitchen, they hang a new calendar on the sliding door, or gently stick a bright red “Fu” character on the bedroom door.

With the witch’s abilities.

Such tasks could be completed with a single thought.

But some things lose their special meaning if not done by hand.

Under the overhead lights, their long shadows stretch out, a gentle light, accompanying shadows, blending yet distinct during the New Year.

Cressa clumsily experiences this time for two.

She really wants.

Really, really wants.

To let this special time last forever, just her and Xu Xi…

But things often don’t go as one wishes.

Just as Xu Xi leads Cressa to decorate the courtyard house, his sister and the princess return from outside.

They look unchanged, without any signs of a fierce battle.

Upon seeing Xu Xi and the witch’s actions.

They both freeze in place.

Then, Xu Moli takes the New Year decorations from Xu Xi’s hands.

“Elder Brother, let me do it.”

She says, giving a reason Xu Xi can’t refuse: “You’ve been busy all day, I want to do something for you too.”

“Well… alright.”

Under Cressa’s calm gaze.

Xu Xi hesitates slightly, handing the items to his sister.

Subsequently, Wu Yingxue also expresses her desire to help, to show her gratitude for being invited to stay for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

“Sir, please take a rest.”

Before Xu Xi can react.

The princess’s small hand is already in front of him.

Meeting her sincere eyes, Xu Xi can’t refuse, so he hands over the remaining items from the Spatial Ring to the princess.

Cressa continues to watch expressionlessly.

By now.

When Xu Xi comes to his senses.

He finds himself extremely idle, only needing to wait for the girls to finish decorating before starting tonight’s New Year’s Eve dinner.

“It feels…”

“Unusually quiet.”

Xu Xi waits in the living room, reclining on the soft sofa.

Looking at the ceiling, then glancing at the howling snow outside, he inexplicably feels the current atmosphere is exceptionally quiet.

In this subtle quietness, there’s a faint warmth and beauty.

The warmth of “people.”

The beauty of “home.”

Xu Xi lowers his head, his gaze moving between his palms, observing the fine lines, then summoning the Simulator panel only he can see.

He falls into deep thought.

“Simulated life is never beautiful, filled with various regrets after several simulations.”

“But it’s undeniable that the Simulator has brought changes to my real life.”

“The real me, the current me.”

“Can be considered living a beautiful life…”

Xu Xi chuckles lightly, knowing all these changes stem from the Simulator.

For this reason.

He reluctantly acknowledges the name ‘Beautiful Life Simulator.’

However, all of this, it’s really like a dream…

There’s an indescribable sense of illusion…

“Elder Brother, what are you thinking about?”, Xu Moli, having finished decorating, walks up to him and asks curiously.

“Mo Li, can you pinch my hand?”

“Huh?”

The girl finds Xu Xi’s request strange.

After repeatedly confirming that Xu Xi is serious.

She extends her slender fingers, gently pinching the back of Xu Xi’s hand with a very slight force, giving a tiny twist.

Then quickly lets go.

Afraid of hurting Xu Xi.

“Elder Brother, is this okay?”

“Yes, that’s enough.”

Xu Xi moves his hand, feeling the real sensation, amused by his own actions.

It’s good, it’s not a dream.
