Chapter 5 Common Line (05) "Why not with the three of us..."

Logically speaking, none of the three people present would accept such a hasty date invitation.

Of course, when He Yuan first mentioned "dating," she acted as casually as if she were playing a game, showing no seriousness whatsoever.

They'll agree to come, but only as a precaution.

The fact that my date didn't show up is the best possible outcome.

None of them knew just how daring He Yuan could be.

Over the years, his actions have given people the impression that he is capable of anything.

And now—

Since his original date didn't show up, He Yuan didn't want to waste his plans and insisted on finding someone else.

Jing Yuan spoke first: "Great! I've never been in a relationship before either. It's perfect that we can study together, just like before."

Danfeng retorted, "Although I haven't talked to them, I have seen some, so I might have a better understanding."

Ying Xing moved his lips, but said nothing.

There's a one-in-three chance he won't be so lucky.

Leave once you've made your decision.

Seeing that they had no objections, He Yuan saved the file after selecting the number.

After loading the save file about ten times, the dice in He Yuan's palm finally appeared above [1].

He suspected that the game had a hidden luck factor, otherwise why were the number frequencies of these three people not evenly distributed?

Or is Yingxing just having bad luck?

He Yuan didn't know, but since He Yuan had chosen Ying Xing, she had to make sure that all these probabilities became 100%.

He shoved the dice into Yingxing's hand, who was still in a daze.

"It's Brother Yingxing..."

He Yuan's fingers traced across Ying Xing's palm. "Tomorrow is Saturday, Ying Xing-ge has the day off, right? We'll be a couple all day long~"

He said earnestly, "Not even a second less."

Yingxing simply said, "Okay."

Perhaps it was a rare stroke of luck that allowed him to have a beautiful dream to cherish for a lifetime.

He Yuan was simply curious about the idea of ​​"love".

No matter who is chosen, just like Cinderella at midnight, when the time comes, they will lose all their glamour.

However, he probably didn't have Cinderella's luck, which allowed her to win the prince's heart with a dance and a night, and to search the whole city for a pair of shoes.

Fortunately, Yingxing and Heyuan remain friends.

They don't have the class difference of Cinderella and the prince; they are friends who can meet up and talk about anything.

"What's the point of dating only one person?" Danfeng suddenly spoke up. "Why not try it with all three of us?"

The usually aloof and indifferent Dragon Lord made a surprising statement, which truly shocked He Yuan.

Jing Yuan wasn't too surprised.

Red maple may look like a "flower on a high mountain," but in reality...

“I haven’t talked to anyone either. Xiao Yuan, would you like to do it with me?” Jing Yuan said.

He Yuan's gaze swept over the three people in front of her, her hand still holding Ying Xing's.

He suddenly remembered the forum post.

— [Multiple endings]

The three men in front of him were all "good friends" who had been on the battlefield together and had a life-or-death bond with each other.

Perhaps we could give it a try.

Moreover, maintaining a balanced approach now will not affect future single-track development.

He Yuan released Ying Xing's hand, but he did not take back the die.

He took out a new die and said to the two people next to him, "Then you two choose a number again."

This time, he won't need to pull any strings.

This time it belongs to Danfeng[3].

Jingyuan was the last one.

He Yuan glanced at the time and said to Jing Yuan, "Then I'll come find you next week to start a relationship."

Danfeng and Yingxing have relatively flexible working hours, but Jingyuan does not.

He accepted it readily, saying, "Okay, then I'll wait for you to come find me."

—It really looks like a cat that obediently waits at home for its owner!

He Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch Jing Yuan's hair again.

"Then—let's go buy Jingyuan a bed first!" He withdrew his hand, trying to cover up his misunderstanding, picked up the milk tea, and haphazardly pushed the three people out with both hands.

Why can't there be three hands?

He can't even carry water properly anymore.

Crane and Kite had no choice but to push one with each hand and nudge the remaining one with their heads.

Yingxing couldn't stand it anymore and simply said, "Xiaoyuan, lead the way, we'll follow behind you."

He didn't want to be carried on someone's back, even if that person was someone he liked.

He Yuan went with the flow, walking ahead and leading the three people to the mall in a boss-like manner.

They said they were picking out a bed for Jingyuan, but when Heyuan went in, she couldn't resist stopping at the newly opened shop.

--【grocery store】

The name is very simple, but He Yuan, who often grinds for attributes, knows that this is a shop that specializes in selling items that can greatly increase attributes and that refreshes randomly. The time when it will appear is fixed when each save file is created.

Crane Kite comes to the mall once a week, not only to buy items, but also to see when she can run into the [General Store].

Now that this opportunity has presented itself, it's not to be missed!

My feet, which were originally heading towards the bedding store, took a detour and went towards the general store instead.

As the remaining three followed in, all they heard He Yuan say was, "I want them all!"

Jing Yuan immediately stepped forward and grabbed He Yuan, "Calm down! Look at the items first before you buy!"

The shop's decor has a bare, unfinished feel, making it look like they're just trying to make a quick buck and run. He Yuan, don't be fooled!

Danfeng and Yingxing silently examined the items on display.

[Tiramisu] [Rubber doll] [Fountain pen] [First aid kit]...

They are all very normal, yet somewhat strange things.

For example, tiramisu shouldn't be here at all.

There was also that rag doll that looked like a witchcraft doll, and that dusty gray fountain pen...

No matter how you look at it, this kind of store shouldn't pass the review and be allowed to open in such a large shopping mall, right?

The two looked at the gleaming business license and the faction it belonged to.

— Belongs to [The Tavern at the End of the World]

When did the Masked Fool sneak in?

Jing Yuan immediately went to the front desk and saw only a robot wearing a mask.

He Yuan had already walked up to the robot, skillfully opened the checkout interface, and was going to buy everything in the store.

"Xiao Yuan! He Yuan! Calm down!" Jing Yuan grabbed He Yuan's hand tightly as she was about to click the checkout button. "If you buy all this stuff, how are we going to eat this month?"

He Yuan smiled mysteriously, broke free from Jing Yuan's hand, and quickly completed the transaction using facial recognition payment.

He still had a lot of food left in his bag, so he didn't need to worry about eating at all.

"100,000 yuan received in Alipay~" The resounding voice echoed in the store.

Danfeng: "..."

Ying Xing: "..."

Jing Yuan looked helpless: "Why are you doing this again—never mind, come find me when you eat this month, and I'll swipe your cafeteria card for you."

"Also, you're almost out of shower gel and shampoo, I'll buy you some later..."

Wait... what were they here to buy again?

Jing Yuan said quietly, "He Yuan, do you still have money to buy me a bed?"

He Yuan blinked.

He was in a good mood as he listened to the notification sound of his attributes increasing.

So he said seriously, "I can lend you the money to buy it."

There's a dedicated money exchange in the game; you can easily pay it back next month.

Jing Yuan was amused by his words, "No need, I'll pay for it myself this time."

Danfeng raised an eyebrow: "Why not come to Linyuan Realm? The food there will definitely be better than at Shence Mansion. As a guest, you won't have to worry about these things. As for Jingyuan's bed, I'll arrange it for you later."

He Yuan shook her head: "I'll go in a few days! I'm the one who broke Jing Yuan's bed, there's no reason for you to pay for it!"

He's a man of principle! How could he let someone else pay for his mistakes?

Ying Xing quietly pulled He Yuan aside, took out a card from her wallet, and stuffed it into the young man's palm.

"This is the money I earned from taking orders. I don't know how much it is, but you can use it for now."

He added, "I don't want anything, you can spend it as you please."

Crane Kite was deep in thought.

He Yuan earnestly pushed the card back, "Brother Yingxing, I'm not a child anymore. I have plenty of ways to make money."

"Then consider it a loan from me."

Unable to refuse Ying Xing's kind offer, He Yuan had no choice but to accept it for now and return it to him later.

【[Credit]+68767345】

No, Yingxing, you've made a fortune behind my back?

He Yuan wanted to be a fair and square strategist.

He was just thinking about how to arrange his time during the week to be fair and impartial.

Two days for each person, with one day off?

...That's a strange thing to say. Would it be interesting to say it out loud?

He Yuan walked out of the general store and said earnestly to them, "I'll go to Shence Mansion on Monday and Tuesday, Lin Yuan Realm on Wednesday and Thursday, Ying Xing Ge's place on Friday and Saturday, and I'll be alone on Sunday!"

"How is it? Is it okay?"

He looked at the three people whose expressions were frozen and asked again, "You...don't want to?"

"Then I'll go alone—"

“…Okay.” Danfeng’s tone became stiff.

Ying Xing exhaled slowly, "That's fine."

Jing Yuan sighed, "It's up to you."

Will I lose their favorability?

He Yuan suspiciously opened their panel.

【Jingyuan】

[Favorability: 100]

【Red Maple】

[Favorability: 100]

【Yingxing】

[Favorability: 100]

No problem, that's normal.

Then it's alright.

He Yuan finally remembered her goal for the day and went to the bedding store.

The sales assistant approached him with a smile and asked about his needs.

He Yuan counted on her fingers and said, "It needs to be big, durable, sturdy, have room to move around, not too hard, and not too high, otherwise it will hurt when it rolls down."

Salesperson: "...?"

She looked at the handsome young man in front of her and the three men behind him with a dazed expression, and hesitated, "Do all four of you have this need?"

He Yuan shook her head. "No, we'll just buy one bed."

Sales assistant: "...Huh?"

She started brainstorming.

To be honest, those of them in this line of work have seen quite a few clients.

A few days ago, the sales assistant served a customer who was dating two boyfriends at the same time. Her requirements were almost the same as He Yuan's.

But... but that customer came alone!

The client in front of me seems to need to be a little more outgoing and a little more assertive.

He was able to take three people out with him and keep them seemingly at peace.

The sales assistant then asked, "What functions do you need? We also offer massage, height adjustment, and slope adjustment functions, and many customers have given us positive reviews!"

He Yuan looked at Jing Yuan, "Do you need it?"

Jing Yuan shook his head, "Ordinary is fine."

The other two also didn't want to waste time on this and shook their heads.

He Yuan said, "No need, just do it the way you just asked."

The sales assistant understood and led them to a bedside.

"This bed is the largest and most comfortable one we have here... You are welcome to try it out."

He Yuan thought it was good, nodded, and turned to ask Jing Yuan for his opinion.

Jingyuan reminded him, "The room isn't that big."

That's true, then we need to get a smaller one.

Just as He Yuan was about to speak, the sales assistant added, "This bed is the perfect size; it's big enough to support four people to relax on it!"

"...?"

He Yuan looked at her with confusion, "Why do all four of you have to release yourselves in bed together?"

Even if he goes to Jingyuan's house to sleep, there are only two of them.
