Free Web NovelChapter 794: Chapter 642: Christmas
Waking up on Christmas morning to see snow is just too perfect.
The house is cozy enough, allowing us to enjoy plenty of holiday atmosphere.
Ning Youguang is discussing with Shi Wangyue, "Shall we go nowhere today? Just watch movies at home, how about it?"
"Sure." Shi Wangyue hugged Ning Youguang, warming her with his body, "I’ll make breakfast, and if you want, you can sleep a bit more."
"No need." Ning Youguang, who just woke up, spoke softly, "I’m getting up now."
She said, "After breakfast, we’ll move the Blue Lake Cypress out, so it will be topped with white by evening."
"I checked the weather forecast, and there’ll be heavy snow later."
"Oh, that’s even better." Ning Youguang said expectantly, "We’ll be able to see the Christmas tree fully covered in snow faster."
"Alright." Shi Wangyue turned his head and kissed Ning Youguang’s cheek.
...
After having breakfast.
The two of them immediately teamed up to move the largest Blue Lake Cypress from the "Silent Study" to the terrace.
Then they went back inside the house, exchanged gifts with each other, continuing yesterday’s excitement and joy of unboxing.
Ning Youguang piled all the Christmas gifts she received this year under the Christmas tree by the living room window.
Afterwards, she sat under the Christmas tree, surrounded by gifts, laughing happily like a child.
"Wangyue, take my phone and snap a photo for me."
Shi Wangyue was, of course, happy to oblige.
However, just as he picked up Ning Youguang’s camera from the dining table, he received a phone call for her from Yu Xian.
"Yu Xian is calling you."
"Give me the phone." Sitting beneath the Christmas tree, Ning Youguang reached out.
Shi Wangyue handed her the phone.
Very soon, Ning Youguang finished her conversation and hung up, "Wangyue."
"What’s up?"
"Plans are changing." Ning Youguang said, "Yu Xian said his Nuodeng ham has arrived, and asked if we’d like to spend Christmas evening having hot pot at ’Free Space’ with him."
"Will there be many people there?" Shi Wangyue asked.
"Not many." Ning Youguang shook her head, "Just him together."
"I’m good either way." Shi Wangyue said, "What about you?"
"Then let’s go to Yu Xian’s place for ham hot pot tonight."
...
Due to the plan to eat hot pot at "Free Space" tonight.
Ning Youguang pulled Shi Wangyue after lunch to watch the movie they originally planned to watch in the evening.
After watching the movie, they tidied up and drove to "Free Space" to meet Yu Xian.
...
When Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang arrived at "Free Space" and found Yu Xian, they saw him hammering a fence in the studio.
"Is this for Four Seasons?"
"Yes." Yu Xian turned around, saw the two of them walking in one after the other, and smiled gracefully.
"I remember it was blocked with planks before." Ning Youguang went over, squatted next to Yu Xian, and pointed at the fence in front of him.
"Four Seasons would often rest his head on the plank to look outside, and he always seemed to stare for a long time. Watching him do that felt quite laborious." Yu Xian explained gently, "I guess he likes watching people come and go outside, but the planks blocked his view unless he rested his head on them. Since today’s a holiday, I thought I’d replace it with a fence, so he can get a better view outside."
"Would you consider this your Christmas gift to Four Seasons?" Ning Youguang smiled and reached out to pet the Shiba Inu obediently lying on the other side of the fence.
"If that’s how you want to see it." Yu Xian smiled gently, "And it’s a good thing I forgot to prepare a Christmas gift for him."
"No worries, I’ve prepared one for him." Ning Youguang proudly said to Yu Xian, then extended her hand to Shi Wangyue.
Shi Wangyue handed her a red paper bag he was carrying.
Ning Youguang took the bag and first pulled out the gift meant for Four Seasons.
Yu Xian laughed as soon as he saw it, "You even had this custom-made for him?"
Ning Youguang’s gift for Four Seasons was a specially customized pet lamp.
"You know this?" Ning Youguang crossed over the newly nailed fence, squatted beside Four Seasons, cuddled him, and hung the lamp around his neck.
"Yes." Yu Xian couldn’t help laughing when he saw the lamp on Four Seasons, "I saw a pet blogger sharing their dog wearing this lamp on Weibo last time. I even considered buying one for Four Seasons, but got busy and forgot. Seems like I won’t need to buy one now."
