Christmas Present!

And there's a Christmas dinner.

Although Yaochuan Guang has been sleeping in a daze and having strange dreams these past few days, the dizziness and headaches only occur at night and right after waking up.

Moreover, Yaochuan Guang discovered it.

When I have a headache, just sticking something in my mouth with Cong Yu- chan and the others makes my head feel much better... It works for both Little Lan Xiao Cui.

However, Cong Yu sauce is the most effective.

Applying the Yuan'an Alisa patch also helps, but it's the least effective; it takes a long time to feel any relief in the head... It's slow to work and not very good.

(Yuan'an Alisa: So, is friendship fake?)

Cong Yu sauce is still the best; it works quickly and has fewer relapses!

For treating migraines, Little Guang only trusts Cong Yu brand headache granules!

(Cong Yu:???)

On Christmas Eve, every household hangs Christmas decorations, and the trees lining the streets are illuminated with colorful lights.

The cozy little house for the four of them was no exception; Yaochuan Guang decorated it quite nicely, giving it a very Christmassy feel.

"Turkey... it tastes awful."

Xiao Cui commented, crunching away with a turkey leg dangling from her ear, while Lantian Zhu and Cong Yu ate theirs half-heartedly.

Including Yaochuan Guang, none of the four showed much interest in turkey.

It's dry and tough, really not tasty...

However, this was expected by everyone except Xiao Cui... After all, United States aren't particularly enthusiastic about turkey dinners.

It really didn't taste good.

It's only about 114514 levels better than kangaroo meat...

However, apart from that, all the other food was quite delicious; Yaochuan Guang's cooking skills are really good.

More than food, the most important thing about Christmas Eve is spending this warm and cozy night with family.

The significance of the Japan may not be important.

What matters is who you shared a memorable time with... The subject that gives meaning is people, you, me, and everyone else, not time itself.

Of course, the dinner itself was quite enjoyable.

Today, Little Lan and Cong Yu even helped Yaochuan Guang wash the dishes, which is quite rare for them... Usually, only Xiao Cui would take the initiative to help with this.

Will Santa Claus bring me a present?

As Yaochuan Guang said this, he excitedly hung a woolen sock next to Cong Yu's bed, then glanced at the three people who were silently watching her.

Xiao Cui: "..."

Lantian Zhu: "..."

Cong Yu: "..."

Seeing the three people staring at him, Yaochuan Guang smiled and hung a whole row of oversized woolen socks on the wall, "I prepared some for you too!"

Ah, this...

The three exchanged glances.

[Cong Yu: Yaochuan Guang still doesn't know that Santa Claus is fake? Isn't that a bit too much?]

Thinking about this, Cong Yu wondered if she shouldn't have shattered Xiao Little Guang's beautiful fantasy about Santa Claus.

[Lantian Zhu: I don't know either. Little Guang didn't celebrate Christmas last year either... Hmm, probably not?]

Lantian Zhu conveyed this message with her eyes. She pondered for a moment, feeling that it was the arrival of Xiao Cui and Cong Yu that had awakened Yaochuan Guang's childlike heart.

Therefore, logically speaking, based on the way most people think, Yaochuan Guang should know what Santa Claus is all about.

However, is it possible that Yaochuan Guang is not a "normal person"?

It must be admitted that it exists.

Therefore, Lantian Zhu is not entirely certain.

--

When everyone was asleep, Cong Yu began to wonder if she should just take a gift or something.

At least stuff some into the wool socks hanging up among the three magical girls.

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui might not be that necessary, but Yaochuan Guang clearly looked very happy before going to bed, making it hard to disappoint her.

Although Cong Yu didn't specifically buy any gifts...

However, Tereido had previously bought gems and made quite a few pendant-shaped magical tools, some of which she also gave to Cong Yu.

He didn't deliberately choose...

However, a casual glance revealed a golden, star-shaped pendant magical artifact. Although I hadn't specifically intended to give it to Yaochuan Guang.

However, it seems to suit Yaochuan Guang better for now.

So, Cong Yu accepted Tereido's gift, and also took a few other pendants... perfect for distributing to the magical girls in her household.

This could be considered, in a way, a case of "borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha" (a Chinese idiom meaning to use someone else's resources to curry favor).

With that in mind, Cong Yu planned to wait until everyone was sound asleep, then put the pendant, along with its high-end-looking box, into their socks.

Then...

Under Cong Yu's watchful gaze in the darkness, Yaochuan Guang quietly got up and tiptoed out of the room. He fiddled around outside for a long time, then tiptoed back in and fiddled around by the bed for a long time as well.

Then he went back to bed and began to snore evenly...

In an instant, Cong Yu understood.

Unable to suppress a smile in the darkness, Cong Yu quietly got up after confirming that Yaochuan Guang was fast asleep.

After confirming the order of the socks for the four people, the gifts were placed inside.

Yes, all four small boxes were stuffed inside...

Cong Yu also prepared one for herself, just to pretend to be Santa Claus.

Who would have thought? It turns out Yaochuan Guang was the one who prepared gifts for everyone... Was it mainly to fulfill Xiao Cui's dream of Santa Claus?

But I'm sorry, Xiao Cui probably already knew Santa Claus was fake.

Um...

However, Santa Claus was fake, but the sentiment behind Yaochuan Guang's gifts to the three of them was real... It was very heartwarming.

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu closed her eyes while maintaining a smile.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

"..."

"Sister Blue Sky..."

"Sh--"

Two figures, one tall and one short, tiptoed up as if they were thieves, then slowly opened the door and went out.

Then, he quietly returned carrying the items.

During the process, Lantian Zhu, who was carrying some loose belongings, almost dropped them, startling her into letting out a brief cry, "Eh... ei..."

She was met with Xiao Cui's helpless shake of the head.

"Shh—Sister Little Lan..."

Xiao Cui's voice was very, very soft. She gestured for Lantian Zhu to release the item first... and at the same time summoned some Little Sprite to assist her.

Then, with four full socks hanging down, the two nodded in satisfaction and gave each other a quiet high five.

"Snap--"

After making a small noise, the two people, one big and one small, were startled. They looked around to make sure that Cong Yu and Yaochuan Guang were not awake before covering their mouths and going back to bed.

"..."

"..." Cong Yu couldn't help but smile, almost bursting out laughing. But in the end, he held it back and pressed it down.

Cong Yu closed her eyes again, and her breathing began to become even.

Then, after a long while, the inexplicable sound began to echo in Cong Yu's mind as usual.

[I am a disaster!]

I'm so lonely--

"Lonely my foot!"

Smack!

[Taken a huge beating - Extinction Formula (covering face);]

Chapter 307 Christmas Gifts!

Four gifts...

Cong Yu and Yaochuan Guang had four gifts in their woolen socks... while Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui had three gifts in their woolen socks.

This was certainly not because Cong Yu and Yaochuan Guang didn't give Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui their portions, but because the two of them even gave their own portions.

Since Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui had agreed beforehand and knew that Santa Claus didn't exist, there was no need for them to prepare their own portion.

Ah, Yaochuan Guang also knows that Santa Claus doesn't exist, but she doesn't know that Xiao Cui does... and that's how this situation came about.

However, everyone tacitly glossed over this point.

Even Yaochuan Guang, if he woke up to find his wool socks full of gifts, would clearly understand what had happened.

After all, Nicholas is a Nicholas, and he wouldn't actually give magical girls gifts... just like a stork.

"Wow! Christmas presents... Thank you, big brother and sister--"

Xiao Cui looked very happy, putting her hands together and saying something, then excitedly looking at the three small boxes in front of her.

Similarly, gifts are now placed in front of everyone.

"Ahem—it was a gift from Santa Claus."

Yaochuan Guang spoke so persistently, then kicked the gift he had given himself away into the distance.

It sounds heavy, and Yaochuan Guang kicked the box very lightly, so it's probably something valuable.

Cong Yu also casually stuffed the pendant she had put inside her huge woolen sock back into her pocket...

Otherwise, it would be really weird to solemnly unpack a gift you gave yourself.

Everyone except Yaochuan Guang looked at the large box that Yaochuan Guang had kicked away... knowing that it was a gift from Yaochuan Guang himself.

Gift.

Although it was delivered under the guise of Santa Claus.

What is that?

Xiao Cui asked curiously, and Yaochuan Guang, seeing that everyone seemed interested in this, didn't shy away from anything and simply went over to open the gift box.

Then, carrying a large game console box, he placed it next to the TV: "Ta-da! It's PlayStxtion 4!"

Lantian Zhu and Xiao Cui's eyes lit up immediately at this.

Wow! It's a PS set-top box!

Xiao Cui looked very happy, raising her hand and cheering, "Great! Now I can play games at home!"

Lantian Zhu seemed quite interested; she rarely plays games... but she's not exactly an old man in the true sense of the word.

I'm still very interested in giving it a try!

But...

Yaochuan Guang's gift to herself is a home video game console... then what gifts would she give to the others?

With this in mind, Cong Yu rummaged through the box and pulled out a cell phone box. Turning her head, she noticed that Little Lan and Xiao Cui also had one.
