Lin Feng didn't feel much about Christmas.
It wasn't that he liked or disliked it, he just felt it was no different from any ordinary day.
Before he transmigrated, he rarely celebrated holidays.
And not just holidays, Lin Feng even rarely celebrated his own birthday.
At most, on his birthday, he would buy some food he liked, curl up in his small home, and eat it silently.
When he first appeared at the orphanage, there was no note or anything with his birthdate.
So Lin Feng didn't even know his exact birthdate, he just used the day he was found by the orphanage as his birthday.
Furthermore, Lin Feng had no friends, and his social skills were almost useless.
Combined, Lin Feng's feelings about holidays were rather muted.
However, on New Year's Day and Spring Festival, he would still buy a pile of things and return to the orphanage to celebrate.
Even though it was a festival, Lin Feng always felt like an outsider, somewhat uncomfortable.
It wasn't until these past two years that Lin Feng gradually understood why people gathered together for the Spring Festival, why everyone was full of laughter and joy.
The reason he understood was because Lin Feng finally had family.
Before, he was alone, and everything was done perfunctorily. He didn't care about rituals or anything.
But now, with a few more family members, Lin Feng experienced a completely different festive atmosphere than before.
It turned out it wasn't that he disliked holidays or didn't want to celebrate, but that he had no one he liked, no family to celebrate with…
What about the orphanage director?
Please, during the Spring Festival, she was so busy that she'd be lucky to say a word to Lin Feng!
Fortunately, now, Lin Feng had his own family.
"The New Year is really nice…" Lin Feng lay on the sofa, a smile on his face.
He was contemplating how to spend this New Year.
Holidays were always the busiest and happiest times for everyone.
And before New Year's Day and the New Year, his girlfriend Susan also had a holiday to celebrate, which was Christmas.
"Lin! Can you at least get up and help out a bit!"
Susan returned, carrying a large Christmas tree.
Wanda and two tag-alongs followed behind her, each carrying two or three large bags.
It was clear they had just returned from shopping.
Seeing Lin Feng slumped on the sofa, Susan was annoyed.
She knew Lin Feng didn't like holidays, but this was too lazy!
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, help, help!"
Lin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids. He lay askew on the sofa and fumbled behind him for a wooden stick.
He perfunctorily pointed it at the Christmas tree Susan was carrying from afar, and the tree floated up.
Most of these were made from evergreen trees. The one Susan bought already had many decorations on it.
"Here, where should I put it?" Lin Feng waved his wand leisurely, and the Christmas tree, controlled by him, floated around the room.
His attitude made Susan roll her eyes.
"You're really something! Just put it in the living room."
She no longer expected Lin Feng to move his butt.
Ever since they moved into the new house, this guy's butt had become best friends with the sofa. He never moved from it all day long.
The most he did all day was turn on the TV and chuckle foolishly at it.
Lin Feng was also helpless.
Alright, although he had changed, he could only muster up the energy for New Year's Day and Spring Festival!
"Wanda, let's go decorate!"
Susan lifted the tinsel and decorations in her hands.
Lin Jili raised her hands and cheered, "Me too, me too!"
Martina also chimed in, "I'll help too!"
Susan triumphantly winked at Lin Feng.
Her expression seemed to say, "Even a five-year-old kid is more useful than you…"
Lin Feng, thick-skinned as he was, pretended not to see and continued watching his TV.
He really didn't know how to celebrate Christmas. In his eyes, it seemed to be about buying two apples of peace and going out to eat and drink with his girlfriend.
However, this was the West, and the elaborate rituals made Lin Feng somewhat uncomfortable. He didn't know what he should be doing.
It was that feeling of begrudgingly accompanying his girlfriend for Christmas. Many male compatriots would understand…
Just wait a little longer, New Year's Day was coming soon!
Lin Feng thought this, sighed, and felt that his expectations for Susan could only be made up for on New Year's Day and Spring Festival.
After a flurry of activity, the house finally began to look festive.
Even the two black cats were adorned with beautiful red ribbons.
"Lin Feng, did you prepare gifts for Jili and the others?"
Susan, after her busy work, walked over to the sofa and nudged Lin Feng's dangling foot, gesturing for him to move over.
It seemed she wasn't angry with Lin Feng.
Susan was as understanding as ever. She could sense Lin Feng's awkwardness and even came to talk to him after finishing her work, trying to shift his attention.
"Of course, I've prepared! Not just Christmas gifts, but New Year's Day and New Year gifts too!"
Seeing Susan sit on the sofa, Lin Feng casually pulled her closer.
Susan's face flushed slightly.
"Stop fooling around, there are still people here."
Lin Feng chuckled, "We're already like an old married couple, what's with all the formality?"
"Let's not talk about that. Do you want to know what gift I got for Jili?" Lin Feng said mysteriously.
Susan nodded blankly.
"Yes, what gift did you prepare for them?"
She had also prepared gifts for them, a set of necklaces themed around family.
They were custom-made and not cheap, but Susan could afford them.
"Take a look!" Lin Feng took out the special gift he had prepared from his storage.
"This is a gift unique to the ancient, mysterious East!"
"I went to great lengths to get it!" Lin Feng said, crossing his legs, introducing it with a touch of pride.
"For this, I even went to the East!"
Susan nodded, half-understanding, took the gift, and after a glance, couldn't help but complain, "You're just going to let me look at it like this?"
The gift was wrapped in large gift paper, so Susan couldn't see what was inside, only that it was a box.
"If you unwrap it, won't the surprise be gone?" Lin Feng retorted.
Susan huffed and quietly handed the gift back, feeling that her anticipation was completely in vain.
And for some reason, she felt that it definitely didn't contain anything good. She knew Lin Feng too well!
"Then what about my gift?" Susan asked again, her gaze towards Lin Feng becoming increasingly dangerous.
Could the gift for her also be something bizarre?
"Ahem, don't worry, you'll definitely like it!"
Teasing Lin Jili was one thing, but he wouldn't dare tease Susan.
What if she made him sleep on the sofa tonight?
Susan nodded suspiciously, "I hope what you're saying is true…"
Temporarily letting Lin Feng off the hook, Susan continued to go about decorating the house.
