As night falls, silver light fills the quiet courtyard, and a unique feast is quietly beginning.

Murong Zixi stood beside the stove, gently stirring the bubbling and fragrant hot pot base in her hands. The red oil was bubbling, spicy but not dry, and the aroma went straight to the sky, making everyone in the courtyard salivate.

Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu walked around, holding various ingredients in their hands, from fresh beef and mutton to a wide range of seasonal vegetables. Each one was carefully selected and arranged in an orderly manner, like a vivid winter painting.

In the light of the fire, their smiling faces were filled with festive joy, adding a touch of warmth and comfort to this cold night.

The three round tables in the center of the yard have been set up, and each table is placed with exquisite porcelain bowls and silver chopsticks.

Jun Feimo was dressed in a black robe, his figure was as straight as a pine tree, like a bright star in the dark night.

Those deep and mysterious eyes were like the water in a deep pool. When his gaze fell on the sumptuous food on the table, a hint of surprise and curiosity flashed in his eyes.

He walked with steady steps, step by step, towards where Murong Zixi was.

After standing still, staring at the pot that was emitting steam, and the various colorful raw meats and fresh vegetables placed beside it, he couldn't help but ask softly: "Xier, what is this? Could this be the hot pot you mentioned?" The voice was low and pleasant, with an irresistible charm.

Murong Zixi's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a sly and charming smile. She stretched out her jade hand lightly, held the chopsticks elegantly, and picked up a piece of tender beef slices as thin as a cicada's wing from the plate.

Then she carefully put it into the boiling pot and gently stirred it a few times. Watching the beef slices gradually change color and become cooked in the boiling soup, she swiftly scooped them out with chopsticks, dipped them in the carefully prepared unique sauce, and finally put them into her cherry mouth and chewed them slowly.

After a moment, she showed a satisfied expression, smiled and nodded, saying: "Well... As expected, the heat is just right, and the taste is superb! Come on, try it!" As she said this, she winked playfully.

Seeing this, Jun Feimo followed closely and imitated Murong Zixi's every move.

He also skillfully picked up a piece of beef and put it into the pot according to her instructions. When the meat was cooked, he quickly picked it up, dipped it in the seasoning, and put it into his mouth to taste without hesitation.

In an instant, a rich, fragrant and spicy taste that he had never experienced before burst out violently on the tip of his tongue.

The strong stimulation made him squint his eyes involuntarily, enjoying the wonderful delicacy from a foreign country.

With every bite of food he swallowed, he became more and more addicted to it, unable to extricate himself.

"It's really extraordinary! The meat melts in your mouth, it's extremely delicious, and the taste is unique. It's truly a delicacy that I have never tasted in my life." He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes once again resting on Murong Zixi's pretty face, full of curiosity and admiration.

Murong Zixi keenly felt Jun Feimo's fiery gaze, and her face flushed, as tempting and lovely as a ripe apple. She thought to herself, "Humph, this is hot pot, you ancient people certainly don't have the chance to taste it."

Seeing her so shy and charming, Jun Feimo's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a hint of imperceptible tenderness and endless doting, as if at this moment, all the sorrows and troubles in the world had blown away by the wind, disappearing without a trace, and only the beauty in front of him and the joyful and peaceful atmosphere in the garden remained in his heart.

At this moment, the well-trained secret guards brought several jars of fine wine. Murong Zixi stretched out her jade hand lightly and personally filled Jun Feimo's glass to 80% full. Then she raised the glass in her hand high and said with a smile as bright as a flower: "On this beautiful occasion, which happens to be the annual New Year's Eve, let's drink to our heart's content tonight! Don't go home until you are drunk~"

Jun Feimo raised his sword-like eyebrows when he heard the words. He also raised the wine glass in front of him and gently clinked it with Murong Zixi's. Only a pleasant and melodious collision sound was heard.

"Mm, what a fine wine! It's the perfect match for this steaming, fragrant hot pot!"

Tianyi, Yuda and the others saw the scene before them and stood up at the same time, holding their glasses high in their hands, and congratulated in unison: "Your Majesty, Princess (or Master), Happy New Year and Happy New Year's Eve!"

In an instant, the yard was filled with laughter and joy, a lively scene, and a warm atmosphere spread, as if it could melt the cold of winter.

The wisps of hot steam rising from the hot pot and the aroma of wine in the air blend together to weave a beautiful and harmonious picture.

In her previous life, Murong Zixi could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. After several rounds of toasts, her originally snow-white cheeks gradually turned slightly red, making her look as tempting and lovely as a ripe apple. Her eyes, which were as bright as stars, now flashed with a hazy light, as if shrouded in a thin layer of mist, which made people feel pity for her.

Even Murong Zixi herself had not expected that her body, which seemed to have completely gotten rid of the toxins, was still unable to withstand the alcohol.

She gently rubbed her temples, thinking to herself, "Could it be that this wine is too strong and mellow, or... this body can't handle the alcohol?"

Jun Feimo, who had been silently paying attention to Murong Zixi, now had a gentle look in his eyes, like a spring of water rippling people's hearts. He keenly captured the subtle changes in Murong Zixi, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slightly rise, outlining a smile full of doting. He asked softly: "Xier, are you drunk?"

After hearing this, Murong Zixi shook her head vigorously with an unconvinced look on her face. Her small chin was slightly raised, revealing a kind of stubbornness and obstinacy. But at the same time, her voice unconsciously revealed a few traces of tenderness and cuteness that could not be ignored: "Hehe! How could I be drunk? Let me tell you, I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she used the strong alcohol surging in her body to jump up lightly like a dancing butterfly and landed steadily on the roof.

Due to the effect of alcohol, her body was shaking uncontrollably from side to side, as if she might fall down at any time.

Jun Feimo, who was standing by, saw this scene and his movements were quick and agile.

He flashed and followed Murong Zixi to the roof like a ghost, and landed gently beside her in an extremely natural and smooth posture.

Then, he stretched out his arms without hesitation and gently embraced Murong Zixi's slender and soft waist, fearing that she would slip off the roof if she was not careful.

At the same time, his slender fingers gently stroked her high nose bridge, his tone was full of endless doting, but also mixed with a little helplessness: "You still insist that you are not drunk, look at you now, you are so cute and lovely, you can hardly stand."

After hearing what Jun Feimo said, Murong Zixi couldn't help but narrow her eyes and let out a few dissatisfied hums, as if she wanted to refute something, but in the end she seemed powerless because of being drunk.

At this moment, the originally quiet surroundings suddenly rang out with deafening firecrackers, accompanied by colorful and dazzling fireworks soaring into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire dark night sky, like a magnificent painting unfolding before our eyes.

Tian Yiyu and the others were very tactful and quickly cleaned up the remaining wine, food, bowls and chopsticks on the table, then retreated quietly, leaving this quiet and beautiful world to this couple who were like a fairy couple, allowing them to fully enjoy this warm moment that belonged only to each other.

At this moment, a cool and pleasant breeze blew in the night sky, but it failed to blow away the deep affection lingering between the two.

They stood side by side quietly on the roof, admiring the dazzling fireworks feast in the distance, feeling the warmth emanating from each other, as if time had frozen at this moment...

Murong Zixi slowly turned her head, her eyes attracted by the colorful and dazzling fireworks.

There was a strange and charming light shining in her eyes, like the brightest stars in the night sky.

As fireworks bloom in the sky, a dreamlike scene appears before our eyes.

She leaned softly on Jun Feimo's broad and solid shoulders, and together they enjoyed this intoxicating fireworks feast.

Against the backdrop of colorful fireworks, the beauty in his arms looked even more charming and attractive, exuding an indescribable softness and mystery, like a fairy descending to the earth, causing ripples in Jun Feimo's heart.

Jun Feimo gazed at the person in his arms affectionately, his eyes filled with endless love.

At this moment, she is so breathtakingly beautiful that people can't help themselves.

He couldn't help but lower his head and gently touched Zi Xi's silky hair with the tip of his nose. An elegant and refreshing scent of jasmine immediately came to his nose, instantly surrounding him completely, making him immersed in the fragrance and unable to control himself for a long time.

At this moment, Jun Feimo could no longer suppress the surging emotions in his heart. He slowly leaned down and carefully kissed Zi Xi's delicate lips.

Murong Zixi's delicate body trembled violently, but soon relaxed again. Her slender hands unconsciously wrapped around Jun Feimo's strong waist.

Above the roof, a cool breeze blew slowly, bringing a slight chill, but this chill could not blow away the subtle and extremely affectionate feelings that permeated between the two people.

Time passed by minute by minute, and there was silence all around, with only the sound of the wind echoing in my ears.

After a long time, Jun Feimo took a deep breath and gently held Murong Zixi in his arms. He walked lightly down the roof and walked into the house.
