For a short while after that, the two girls knelt on the floor, blowing out candles one by one, then storing them in their inventory.
And Bai Ling quietly left when the two of them finished their embrace!
When Bai Ling left, she didn't forget to take the pile of tissues she had used to wipe her tears... On the way home, the two girls held hands the entire time, showing no intention of letting go.
Fu Xuan also took this opportunity to examine the "bouquet" Selene had given her.
However, this bouquet didn't contain fresh flowers, but rather a candy bouquet meticulously arranged by Selene!
The edges of the bouquet were secured with hard chocolate, while the middle was filled with various candies! And on top, colorful flower-shaped gummies were arranged!
"Hehe... You know This Meow likes to eat candy, so you even replaced the fresh flowers in the bouquet with candies."
As Fu Xuan spoke, she tilted her head slightly and rubbed her cheek against Selene's head and cat ears.
Selene's face immediately turned crimson, feeling a little embarrassed!
She didn't know why, even though she had been intimately close with Fu Xuan many times, she still felt shy every time... And, hearing Fu Xuan's praise, Selene also felt embarrassed. Perhaps? This was love?
...Along the way, the two girls walked and played, and what should have been a ten-minute walk ended up taking over half an hour!
When they reached the doorstep, Selene originally thought that Fu Xuan would open the door directly, as usual.
However, Fu Xuan took out a long, white strip of cloth from her person.
"This Meow has prepared a New Year's gift for you, but you need to cover your eyes now."
As Fu Xuan spoke, she handed the cloth to Selene, motioning for her to cover her own eyes.
"Hmm? What kind of New Year's gift is it? And I have to cover my eyes? So mysterious?"
Selene was puzzled, but she still took the white cloth from Fu Xuan and covered her eyes.
However, even though her eyes were covered, Selene still kept them open, trying to see if she could peek through the white cloth.
"This cloth is very thick, don't even think about peeking. Won't you find out soon enough?"
Fu Xuan chuckled, opened the door with a key, and led Selene by the hand back into the house.
"Come, sit down, This Meow will help you change your shoes."
Fu Xuan brought a small stool and placed it behind Selene, saying.
Hearing this, Selene's little face flushed slightly, and she refused with a shy tone:
"No... no need, right? I can change them myself!"
As Selene finished speaking, she was about to reach out to stop Fu Xuan.
"Take your hand back. From the moment you covered your eyes, you'll have to listen to This Meow for everything that follows!"
Fu Xuan's tone was not to be refused, so Selene could only withdraw her halfway-extended hand.
Seeing Selene so obedient, a smile also curved on Fu Xuan's lips.
She reached out, one hand grasping Selene's ankle, the other taking off her shoe, revealing a small foot clad in white stockings.
Then, Fu Xuan picked up a pair of slippers from the side, preparing to put them on Selene, but at this moment, she heard Selene's thoughts.
"Hmm, why is Fu Xuan still holding my foot... Could it be that she likes popsicles just like This Meow?"
Fu Xuan: ...Heh! This Meow is not as perverted as you!
However, Selene's thoughts sparked a mischievous idea in Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan's left index finger slightly curved, then slowly approached Selene's sole, and then... gently slid her nail across it.
"Eh?! Hahahahaha..."
Feeling the tickle, Selene immediately started kicking her legs, simultaneously letting out a string of bell-like laughter!
"Alright, alright! Stop moving! This Meow won't bother you anymore!"
Fu Xuan said after pressing Selene back onto the stool.
Mainly, Fu Xuan hadn't expected this fellow to be so sensitive; she had only lightly tickled her, yet she had immediately sprung up from the stool!
Hmm... This Meow has discovered another weakness of Little Liu Guang!
...After helping Selene change into slippers, Fu Xuan led her by the hand to sit on the sofa.
"You sit here and wait for This Meow for a moment. This Meow is going to the Bedroom to get your gift. No peeking! If This Meow finds out you peeked, hmph hmph!"
As Fu Xuan spoke, she let out two threatening snorts, her meaning clear.
"Oh, This Meow won't peek! Don't worry, my little Grand Diviner! Go quickly~!"
Selene said in a relaxed tone.
Fu Xuan: ? What did she call This Meow? Little Grand Diviner?! Confound it!
However, since it was a happy day, Fu Xuan didn't bother with Selene about this address, merely letting out an arrogant snort, then turned to open the Bedroom door and closed it again.
"Hehe! Fu Xuan should be inside now, right? So, can This Meow sneak a peek?"
Selene thought this, but she didn't act on it.
Little did she know, her choice was extremely correct! Because Fu Xuan hadn't actually entered the Bedroom at all, she had merely created an illusion!
"Hmph! You're obedient after all!"
Fu Xuan let out another arrogant snort, and only then did she truly return to the Bedroom.
Selene: ...She couldn't help but swallow. Good heavens... As expected of a Grand Diviner who is over a hundred years old, she must have eight hundred tricks up her sleeve, right?!
...When Fu Xuan emerged from the Bedroom, she had a gift box in her hand.
The gift box looked very large, and indeed it was not small... Fu Xuan walked up to Selene, patted her on the shoulder, and slowly said, "You can take off the blindfold now."
Hearing this, Selene, who could no longer contain her curiosity, quickly tore off the white cloth covering her eyes, her gaze constantly scanning her surroundings!
She saw that the living room, originally filled with Xianzhou-style decor, had completely transformed!
The walls of the living room were adorned with various colorful balloons and pink bow decorations; it was as cute as could be!
And on the dining table next to it, many dishes were laid out, and just looking at them made Selene's mouth water!
If it weren't for Fu Xuan still being nearby, she would have already pounced on the food and started eating!
"How is it? Do you like this arrangement?"
Fu Xuan asked, her voice filled with anticipation.
To be honest, this was the first time Selene had heard such anticipation in Fu Xuan's voice!
"I love it! This Meow really loves it! Thank you, my adorable wife!"
As Selene spoke, she reached out and hugged Fu Xuan again, with a reluctance to let go.
"Hmph! This Meow is not your wife right now! If you want This Meow to be your wife, it's not that simple!"
"Besides! You're so weak! It's more like This Meow is your wife!"
As Fu Xuan spoke, her face gradually turned red, and her gaze became somewhat evasive...
