Infinite Secret House 48: How to Understand Your Partner...

The Secret House promotion ended, and Star City returned to its former tranquility.

Xie Yunsui also started working overtime.

Xiaoxi's favorite delicacies, props provided to players, and secret room passes...

Yin Hui swaggered in from the door of the secret house and asked: "Isn't the human skin you promised to customize for me ready yet?"

Xie Yunsui: "Almost there, almost there."

Yin Hui saw him fiddling with some incomprehensible materials, and thought he was seriously preparing human skin for him, and was quite satisfied.

A few days later, Yin Hui came again: "Is the human skin ready?"

Xie Yunsui: "Almost."

Yin Hui was suspicious: "It's been several days, and you still haven't finished it?"

Xie Yunsui stroked his chin. "I have to do all the work by myself, selecting materials, refining, and forging. I have to do it step by step. I can't rush. But if you can have my Xiaoxi come down to the dungeon anytime to help me, maybe I can speed it up a bit."

Yin Hui flicked his tail and said, "Will it be faster with one more person? Then let me help you."

Isn’t it just kneading and piecing the materials together?

It's very simple, it has many tentacles that can work at the same time, which is more convenient than human two hands.

Xie Yunsui handed him a list and said, "Then go and help me sort these materials according to their specifications and materials."

Yin Hui glanced at him and was silent for a few seconds. "Lan Xi, right? From now on, he can enter and exit the dungeon at will."

That night, Lan Xi and Xie Yunsui had a leisurely dinner together.

After hearing the reason why Yin Hui allowed him to enter the dungeon at any time, Lan Xi raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Is it that simple?"

Xie Yunsui said: "He is easy to fool."

"So, is the human skin you ordered for him ready?"

"We still need to pinch his face. I'll ask him to bring Xia Shi over tomorrow." Xie Yunsui said, "But I need a favor from you."

Lan Xi: “Hmm?”

"Yin Hui seems easygoing right now, but that's only because Xia Shi is around. He prioritizes Xia Shi's feelings over anything else. It's precisely because he cares so much about Xia Shi that I'm afraid..." Xie Yunsui worried. "Yin Hui isn't human after all. Even if he wore human skin, he wouldn't know how to be a human."

Xie Yunsui recalled the confrontation with Yin Hui in the void, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Yin Hui is actually very free-spirited. This is his world and he has the power to control everything.

Just one thought is enough to destroy everything here.

Xie Yunsui has gone through so many worlds, practiced diligently, and had the energy blessing of Xiao Wan, but he couldn't even fight back. If he didn't have merit to protect himself, he would be a dead man now.

Xia Shi is just an ordinary human being.

Human beings who live in the copy world with difficulty cannot avoid various persecutions even with Yin Hui's protection.

These copies were created by Yin Hui, which to a certain extent reflects Yin Hui's character. He likes excitement and fun, does not care about human (monster) lives, and is extremely dangerous.

Xie Yunsui: "I want him to learn how to be a human being, learn the human way of life, and learn the good morals of humans. This is not only for him and Xia Shi to get along better, but also for us and the players in Star City."

Xia Shi pondered, "Will Yin Hui be willing to learn? If he wanted to, human players would have learned it long ago after hundreds of years of operating Star City."

"To Yin Hui, we humans are no different from monsters. If we want him to learn from humans, we have to make him identify with humans." Xie Yunsui pursed his lips and said, "Let's give it a try. I'm afraid direct mention won't have much effect. We can only rely on Xia Shi."

Lan Xi suddenly realized: "You want me to start with Xia Shi and persuade him?"

Xie Yunsui sighed, "Then I'll just have to pray that they share the same pillow. Otherwise, I'll have to think of other ways."

Lan Xi thought of Xia Shi's expression of insisting on Yin Hui, and sighed, "It's a bit troublesome... I'll try my best."

the next day.

Yin Hui brought Xia Shi over as promised.

However, as soon as they entered the door, Lan Xi took Xia Shi away alone, and Yin Hui was not allowed to follow.

Xie Yunsui leaned against the door of the weapon refining room and called out to Yin Hui, "We're only apart for a short while, are you so reluctant to let go?"

Yin Hui felt something was wrong: "Why don't you let me follow?"

"Don't you want to see what your human skin looks like?" Xie Yunsui grabbed the back of his neck and walked towards the refining room: "I specifically asked Xiaoxi to send Xia Shi away so that I can show you first. What if it's particularly ugly and scares Xia Shi?"

Yin Hui immediately walked forward obediently: "You are really thoughtful."

Xie Yunsui smiled faintly and said, "You came and left in a hurry the last two times. I forgot to ask you, how have you been getting along with Xia Shi recently?"

Yin Hui couldn't help but wag his tail: "That's great, Xia Shi never slept with me before, but this time he holds me in his arms every day. He likes to sleep on me and sleeps soundly."

Yin Hui had just woken up and didn't need this little sleep, so he kept staring at Xia Shi while he was sleeping.

The more I look at Xia Shi, the cuter he seems to me, and the more I like him.

Yin paused as he recalled something. "That day, you and Lan Xi were so close to each other, did that mean you liked each other?"

"That's a way for humans to express their love." Xie Yunsui said.

Yin Hui touched his mouth with his claws: "I want to learn from you, but this mouth doesn't work well. I can learn by changing into human skin, right?"

Xie Yunsui couldn't help but knocked him on the forehead: "This is not something you can kiss casually. The other party doesn't mean that. If you insist on kissing him, you are just being a hooligan."

Yin Hui: "...What is playing hooligan?"

"It will make the other party hate you."

Yin Hui's expression turned serious: "Then I won't kiss you."

Xie Yunsui: "..."

That’s good. If you are in love, it will be easier to deal with.

…

In the entertainment room on the other side, Lan Xi did not rush to reveal his thoughts to Xia Shi, but took him to sit in front of the projection first.

Xia Shi looked at it curiously: "What is this?"

“Something you can play movies on.”

Xia Shi was not unfamiliar with this. The big screen outside the Supernova Audition copy would play the film in real time. He was just interested in the film shown by Lan Xi.

"You came to me just to let me watch the movie with you?"

Lan Xi smiled and said, "Just watch it, as background music. Otherwise, talking face to face like this is too boring. What would you like to drink? We have milk and juice here, or would you like a special drink?"

Lan Xi's relaxed attitude eased Xia Shi's nervousness a little, and he also smiled: "Specially mixed drink, is it delicious?"

"I like it very much." Lan Xi asked the robot to bring two drinks and some snacks.

He asked Xia Shi how he and Yin Hui were getting along these days while they ate, drank and watched a movie.

It was an anime film about a protagonist who traveled to another world and became the bride of a powerful monster leader in that world.

At the beginning, the protagonist traveled to another world and caused a lot of jokes. Xia Shi paid attention to answering Lan Xi's questions, but couldn't help being attracted by the novel story content.

The time spent watching a movie was short, and Xia Shi couldn't stop thinking about the rest of the plot after he returned.

"Yin Hui, please take me to the secret house tomorrow."

Xia Shi lay on the big furry dog, moving the fur around intermittently.

Yin Hui looked up: "Didn't you pinch your face today? Didn't you like it?"

"Um, I promised Lan Xi that I would go play with him."

Actually, I only watched half of the movie today. Then I was called away to do some face-pinching and couldn't continue watching.

He recalled the plot. The protagonist was a summoned bride who fell in love with the monster leader before marriage. At the beginning, the two developed a strong interest in each other because of the novelty and desire to explore. They restrained each other and got along harmoniously.

I just saw two newbies in love stumbling and racking their brains to come up with a romantic date scene. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I really want to know what happens next.

Xia Shi's cheeks flushed slightly.

It would be great if I could recreate the romantic date with Yin Hui in the movie... I'll go watch the rest of the story tomorrow, and then ask Lan Xi if a date like that is possible.

Yin Hui was puzzled. What was so fun about playing with Lan Xi? Wasn’t it better to play with him?

But he still obediently sent the person to the secret house. Since he had nothing to do, he simply turned around and looked for Xie Yunsui, and asked him if there were other ways for humans to express their love.

After watching the movie, Xia Shi was deeply moved by the heartwarming and healing plot.

Yin Hui, who was carrying someone home, asked: "What did you and Lan Xi play?"

Xia Shi blabbered about the film's plot: "...it's so hard for young lovers to be together, and the protagonist is all alone in that world, with no one understanding him. Luckily, the monster leader is willing to learn about his past, his culture, and understand and love him. Wow, this is so touching."

Yin Hui didn't understand what was so touching.

Xia Shi raised his wet eyes and looked at him.

Yin Hui: "I'm so touched. I'm touched too."

It was obviously a perfunctory answer.

Xia Shi turned his head silently: "Forget it, you are not human after all, you don't understand our human emotions."

Yin Hui:?

Xia Shi was obsessed with the cartoons, TV series, movies and other things that Lan Xi brought out. What were those people who wrote the stories thinking? Why were there so many love, hate, and passions? It was so melodramatic and fascinating!

Yin Hui suffered a bit. Every day when he returned home, he would first look at Xia Shi's face. If he was happy, he would rush to hug him for a while.

If it is cold or about to cry, just walk away with your tail between your legs.

He didn't want to hear questions like "Yin Hui, if I die one day, will you let the whole world be buried with me?" This world is his incarnation. Will he let the whole world be buried with him and kill himself?

If Yin Hui fails to respond in time, he will receive a line that is tried hard to conceal but still reveals disappointment - Forget it, you are not human after all.

On the day of receiving the human skin, Yin Hui did not move for a long time after putting on the skin.

Xie Yunsui raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong? Can't adapt?"

Yin Hui walked back and forth twice, then blinked again: "I can adapt."

Xie Yunsui: "Why that expression? Didn't you want human skin for a while? Now that you finally got it, you don't even react."

Yin Hui said with a headache: "Xia Shi hasn't paid much attention to me recently. He always says that I'm not human. I'm not human to begin with. Do you think he dislikes me?"

Xie Yunsui suppressed the smile in his eyes and said, "What he meant by this sentence is that you don't understand him."

Yin Hui was at a loss for a moment, and after a long moment, his gaze fixed on Xie Yunsui: "How can I possibly understand him?"

Xie Yunsui spread his hands. "As for how to understand a partner... I've been learning about this topic myself. I don't understand Xia Shi, but Xia Shi is human. My suggestion is that you start by learning how to be a human being, and learn to understand how humans think. Perhaps with your intelligence, you'll be able to draw inferences from one instance and quickly understand what Xia Shi is thinking."

Yin Hui didn't hesitate: "Then teach me."

-----------------------

The author has something to say: I was stuck on this chapter for a long time because my brain wasn't working properly. I wrote two versions of the second half and was not satisfied with either.

Alas, the iced watermelon cold drink and iced milk tea I ate will become a boomerang and hit me back. I regret it (I will dare to do it after I get through these two days)

[狗头] This chapter is from yesterday. I will write today's chapter after I wake up. It's a rare opportunity to rest. I want to have a long lazy sleep [橙心][橙心][橙心][可怜]
