We moved to Golden Courtyard

They even wore special headscarves, making them look quite professional.

If you were dressed like this, you could greet Xu Qi as he walks in with, "Welcome back, Mr. Xu Qi!"

Mei couldn't help but tease, "You two are really trying to seduce him, aren't you? Miss Rita, Fairy Airi?"

Rita smiled but remained silent, while Ellie pouted and said, "It's alright, I think Xu Qi would like this outfit, but not to brag..."

Ellie turned around and looked at the beautiful women in the living room.

"Mei, look at them! Aren't they all dressed up so beautifully today? Aren't you jealous?"

Mei glanced at Airi and teased, "I think... you're the one who's jealous, aren't you?"

Ellie's face stiffened, while Miss Rita smiled.

"Jealousy is not necessarily the case, but since just now, Miss Ellie has been staring at the other girls with shining eyes. I suppose she's just admiring their beauty?"

"Ugh~~"

Mei curled the corners of her mouth and squinted her eyes.

"Haha...Everyone looks so good! So I took a second look."

Indeed, as soon as the news of the fashion show got out, almost every girl started to have some thoughts about it.

Even Gretchen wanted to dress up beautifully for this day.

Of course, there are also women who take the cool and stylish route, like Fu Hua...

If she usually dresses in a neutral style, today she wore a black and red suit, with scarlet roses on her head like a blood moon as an ornament.

Absolutely stunning!

"Hmm? Xu Qi seems to have arrived."

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Eden, who had been chatting with Anna, now wore a smile, his eyes fixed on the cars driving by outside.

At those words, the women in the room all lit up and rushed out of the door.

Outside the villa, Shanghai, which hadn't seen snow for ten years, was blanketed in a light blizzard today, draping the courtyard in a white veil.

This snow-covered landscape adds a layer of romance to today's festival.

"Meow?"

The cat in the canned food meowed from the cat's shoulder.

He seemed to be wondering—what kind of car did Xu Qi drive here?

In the snow-white world outside, a small pickup truck adorned with colorful lights and bells slowly drove up, carrying a box of goods.

Airi suddenly turned her head to look at Mei.

Just as she was about to open her mouth, Mei anticipated her move and covered it tightly.

She already knew what this guy who loved to court death was going to say—Mei, why don't you go pull the cart?

Bronya, dressed in a white and purple dress reminiscent of a woman from the Republican era, adjusted her round-framed glasses and said, "That box of things... it wouldn't happen to be our gift, would it?"

Himeko was startled.

"There's another gift?"

"This guy started preparing two weeks ago. He has nothing to do every day, so he just spends all his time figuring out what Christmas presents to prepare for us."

Everyone was delighted to hear Mebius's words.

After all, it sounds like something Xu Qi would do.

Durandal blinked and saw the pickup truck wobbling to a stop at the door. The door opened, and someone jumped out...

Santa Claus!?

Shiyu Qiluo was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into laughter while clutching her stomach.

Xu Qi was dressed as Santa Claus, complete with a Santa hat, a big beard, and black leather shoes.

Greta's eyes lit up, she took a deep breath, pointed at Xu Qi and said, "Santa Claus!!"

Everyone smiled knowingly, and Aponia gently patted Gretchen's head, saying with a smile, "Yes, it's Santa Claus."

Xu Qi waved to everyone.

"Kids! I'm here to hand out gifts! ~~Wait...you all look so beautiful today!"

The girls looked at each other, then couldn't help but laugh.

Mei said directly, "Everyone dressed up so beautifully, and you're the only one who saw it. Don't you have anything to say?"

"So this is my Christmas present?"

Sakura teased, "What? Still not satisfied?"

Wearing a purple evening gown today, standing in this snowy world, she exuded a unique charm that made Xu Qi's heart flutter...

Especially when she saw her standing next to Rin, who had also changed into a purple dress.

Ok……

It's not easy to think about in detail.

"Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Where's the gift? Where's the gift?"

"Haha! Don't rush~~"

As he spoke, Xu Qi strode to the back of the pickup truck and carried a large white package out of the box.

"Come on, come on! Let's go back inside, and then Santa Claus will come and give you presents!~~"

Hearing Xu Qi's deliberately aged voice, the girls couldn't help but laugh again.

Xu Qi... he just loves to be quirky.

They returned to the villa's living room in twos and threes, while Xu Qi, like the pickup truck, swayed and strolled into the villa.

Seeing this, Gretchen wanted to help, but Shi Bao stopped her, saying, "It's alright, Gretchen. He's just having some trouble moving around because of those clothes. It's not really strenuous for him."

Xu Qi slowly walked forward, and upon hearing Shi Bao's words, he glanced sideways.

"You little rascal, you've seen through me, haven't you? Don't sleep too soundly tonight."

"If you're so capable, why don't you face me head-on?.jpg"

Upon entering the courtyard, a warm atmosphere enveloped everyone once again, and Xu Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's still the most comfortable place to be at home. This is a once-in-a-decade snowfall in Shanghai. I've lived here for so long, and apart from when I was a child, this is the first time I've ever experienced snow accumulation."

Several girls gathered around and helped Xu Qi brush the snow off his body.

Mei teased, "See? Everyone is not only dressed beautifully, but they also care about you so much. If you can't come up with a satisfactory gift later, you might get beaten up."

"Haha! No way! The gifts I prepared are all very nice... Come here! Gretchen, give your brother a kiss, and I'll give you a present."

"Xu Qi, go to hell!"

555. A thoughtful gift, a warm response.

If Greta truly liked Xu Qi, she took a few quick steps, tiptoed, and kissed Xu Qi on the cheek. Xu Qi didn't even have time to react.

"Brother Xu Qi, a gift..."

"Hahaha!"

Xu Qi laughed and took out a small gift box from the bag behind him, handing it to Greta.

The little girl excitedly opened the package, only to find two gray bird feathers inside, resembling hair ornaments, with traces of paint on them.

"This is called Ten-Color Dyed Ash. It's an accessory from a famous painter. Sometimes, he would use it to wipe off mistakes when he applied paint. Do you like it?"

"Of course!"

Greta excitedly kissed Xu Qi on the cheek again, then hurriedly took small steps back to her room, seemingly wanting to put on the two ornaments immediately.

Mei pouted to the side.

"Dead lolicon."

"Hehe! ~~ You're jealous because Gretchen likes me so much, aren't you~~"

Next, Xu Qi began to take out the gifts he had prepared for everyone from the gift bags one by one.

The gift given to Bronya was this year's Christmas limited edition "Hoome," and in return, Bronya directly pulled Xu Qi into her arms and gave him a wet kiss in public.

The CEO is truly brave...

But it got off to a bad start.

The gift given to Miss Rita was a crystal rosemary hair accessory. Xu Qi personally pinned it on for her, and just as he let go, Rita forcefully kissed him again.

"Don't go too far... It feels good to grope me, doesn't it?"

"Xu Qi, Xu Qi?~~ I want a kiss too?~~"

Xu Qi tapped Alicia's head with his finger.

"A gift isn't a kiss!"

As he said this, he gave Ellie a beautiful pop-up book.

"It's called 'The Story Because of You.' When you open it, you'll find our Golden Garden, complete with everyone's chibi-style images. It took me a lot of effort to make it."

Upon seeing the hand-drawn item, Bronya immediately smiled and said, "I can vouch for this. Xu Qi specifically consulted Seele and taught himself to draw it."

"Xu Qi..."

"What's wrong, Ellie?"

Dressed in a maid outfit, Airi pulled Xu Qi into her arms, and Xu Qi could clearly feel the girl's fragrance and softness.

"Ugh!...Aili...Relax, I'm suffocating..."

Clearly, Ellie was incredibly excited to see this gift.

Then she gave the snake a pair of interlocking double rings, called "The Principle of Infinity".

“That original crystal pendant didn’t suit you; this one better represents me, Professor Mebius.”

Mebius gave Xu Qi a charmingly disdainful look and accepted the exquisite earrings.

"You're such a smooth talker."

Then he gave Xu Qi the snake kiss he had been hoping for.

What is this, a kissing harvester?

The atmosphere in the living room grew increasingly heated, as if every girl who received a gift from Xu Qi would engage in some intimate behavior with him, making everyone blush.

But... in the eyes of some people, a hint of expectation would flash.

"Who's next? Who's next?"

Ellie, always eager for a good show, saw Xu Qi pull out a huge Christmas gift box and heard him say, "Where's Theresa? Come here~~ This is your gift."

"Ugh?"

Theresa tiptoed to Xu Qi's side, her dress magnificent, radiant like the sun and moon. Her dark purple Lolita gown made her shine like a star in the courtyard.

"You look beautiful today, Theresa."

"Th...thank you..." The girl's cheeks flushed red.

"Here! This is a special edition Hoomu doll that I picked out especially for you, for this year's Christmas!"

Theresa's eyes lit up, as if they held the brilliance of the starry sky. In fact, she had already been captivated when she saw the beautiful Christmas decorations Xu Qi had given Bronya.

Unexpectedly... what he prepared for himself was a special edition of Christmas Houmu!

"This!...is it really for me?"

"Of course~~ I know Theresa has had a tough time lately, so... this is also to thank you."

"Xu Qi..."

Ellie's eyes lit up, and she immediately clapped her hands, saying, "How about a kiss?"

The atmosphere was so touching that the younger girls immediately joined in the cheering.
