"Sounds good." He agreed, though he gave the trees a shake to make sure that there were no more surprise animals. "Which one, měirényú?" He asked her. Neither one of them had a lot of experience of tree hunting, but he wanted Ariel to have the best Christmas ever. Because it was her first... and it was with him.

Ariel jumped down from his back and walked over to the tree well it was an awkward hopping walk. She was not enjoying this very high snow she looked at both.
"The one in the middle its perfect don't you think?" She asked. It started snowing again and she was already cold. For being able to handle anything as a mermaid Ariel really hated the cold as a human.
She bushed her hair out of her eyes and looked at Sheng. "It should be really fun to carry back to the car." She winked. At least it wasn't huge in fact Ariel had seen much bigger fake trees so this would work.

Sheng grinned widely as he took the axe and began cutting down the tree she had selected. After he was done he set to work securing it with rope. He tied the other end around his waist so the could drag it out of the woods. He motioned for Ariel to hop back on his shoulders and continued on.
She was a little stiff, and shivering.
"You did not dress properly, měirényú." He lightly scolded her. "I will have to make you something hot when we get back perhaps this hot cocoa?" He wrapped the excess rope around his wrist to have better control over the tree. "And perhaps some love making to warm your blood." He mentioned, as if it were mere common sense.

Ariel smiled at that thought, she was very impressed Sheng was strong enough to carry her and pull a tree but not surprised at his strength. He was stronger then anyone she knew Sheng treated his body as his temple and pushed it to extremes. It's what made him an unbelievable lover she bit her lip just thinking about it.
"Mm yes I think I would, even both actually but your far better then any drink I can think of." Ariel laughed, "I know I am not dressed for the woods that's because I thought we were walking two blocks to get a tree!" She told him, "This is nice though and your freezing cold mermaid is doing much better being so close to you." She placed her face closer to his.

Once they were closer to the streets, Ariel dismounted and tried to assist Sheng in pulling the tree. He didn't need the help, but she wanted to help so he smiled and let her do her thing. It was getting the tree through the studio and up the stairs that he needed help.
"Just...turn it slightly and-" He heard something shatter. It was a little decorative ink container that was sitting in a stone alcove along the stair walls. He winced but kept smiling. "It's fine... it was dry..." He heard something else break. A very old sake jar. "It is fine... it is a ceremonial jar that... well... it is less replaceable, but it is FINE, Ariel..." He switched places with her to see if that would help, pulling at the top of the tree, while Ariel grunted at the bottom. He made sure he was taking most of weight from her with his lifting, but she was getting little scrapes from the pin needles as she "pushed" along the bottom.
Finally they reached the top.
"Now I can see why you wanted to do it the easy way." He said, taking in Ariel disheveled state. He took her in his arms and kissed her on the little scrapes she had on her nose.

The tree was at least in his apartment still on the ground. Ariel probably looked a mess she had pine needles in her hair and little marks from the tree.
When Sheng took her in his arms and kissed her nose she couldn't help but laugh. "That was a lot of work so we better make sure the tree is worth it." She put her arms around his warm body though she wasn't cold anymore not after getting that tree up the stairs.
"I'm still glad we did it this way it will be worth it once we get the lights and decorations on the tree. Right now I need a break." Ariel shrugged off her coat and sat down for a moment.
"Come sit with me?" She looked at Sheng who half looked like he was torn between the tree and resting with her for a moment.

Sheng reluctantly dropped his hold on the tree, but was instantly rewarded with kisses as he joined her. He scooped her up and slung her over a shoulder. She giggled, but struggled as she asked him where they were headed. His laundry room. It was spotless. He found laundry very Zen, and thus enjoyed doing it.
He finally put her down and assisted with taking off some of her layers. "These must dry, měirényú..." He stuck them in the dryer and started the machine. He sat her atop of it, grinning up at her, fitting himself between her open thighs. He pulled a strand of her hair playfully and pressed his lips against it in a kiss. "Hair is wet, you're cold..." He rubbed a hand up and down her cool thigh.
He could think of some ways to thaw her. But he clenched his jaw. "I have clothes, dry ones, you can wear them for now." Both of his hands were on her legs, warming them with slow friction. He brought his face close and brushed his lips against hers. "Unless sitting here is helping..."
The dryer was a nice one. It warmed impressively with little vibration. Sheng would sometimes sit on top, meditation or reading a book as he waited for his clothes.

Ariel wrapped her legs around him, "Sitting here is perfect." Ariel rubbed his arms. She kissed him again deeper as she grabbed the back of his head and crushed her lips into his.
"Mm I can think of several ways I can get warm with you. Though none of them lead to putting up the tree so perhaps I should take the clothes. We can finish getting up the tree and then make a small batch of cookies." Ariel kissed his neck a few times.
"I guess if we get really messy making cookies we can always shower after." Ariel winked at him before unwrapping her legs from him. The dryer was nice and warm she was pretty happy sitting here with him.

Sheng nodded, slightly disappointed... though he noticed that the cookies they were going to make became "a small batch." He grinned at her and gave her another peck on the nose. "I'll be right back."
He went to his room to select sweat pants with a drawstring and a long sleeved shirt that was always too light on him. It would still be loose on Ariel, but it would be better then nothing. He came back and handed the items to Ariel. "So we erect the tree, adorn the tree, make 'small batch', and then... we can... relax?" Relax was quickly becoming his word for sex.

Ariel laughed, "Yes we can erect the tree and then perhaps something else?" She ran her hand down his chest seductively before hopping off the dryer and changing.
He was to easy to tease and she couldn't help it. She came into the living room to see the tree already standing Sheng was below it tightening the stand and giving her a rather nice view.
"Okay so lights first I think." Ariel pulled out a bunch of boxes of new lights plugging them in and they began decorating the tree.
Ariel opened her box of decorations, "I found the perfect ornaments for our tree, a mermaid, a Chinese looking warrior and a temple. I couldn't find an under sea palace so I settled for sea shells, fish and I got you a horse." She smiled. "I hope you like them I had a lot of fun on line shopping for them. I couldn't wait to show you." Ariel set the boxes out on the floor in front of Sheng.
"What do you think?"
