In Yuexi's mind, there's never a situation where you want to be friends with me and you have to keep giving so that I'll always appreciate it. And if you stop giving, it means you don't want to be friends with me anymore.
Ji Yun seemed lost in thought, feeling the warmth in the small hand she was holding.
Thinking about those men who send red envelopes on every holiday, and then claiming they don't love their girlfriends if they don't send one, all under the guise of "a sense of ritual."
He wanted to slap himself a few times, wondering how he had lived like a dog before.
"By the way, should we buy a gift for Xiao Huo? Xiao Huo is also our friend," Yue Xi suddenly asked.
"Hmm, give it to it later..." Ji Yun was stunned, opened his mouth and said, "Holy crap, didn't we say we were going out to train the little fire?"
Yuexi paused, pulling his hand, "Right, we agreed to take Xiao Huo out for a walk, how come..."
The two looked at each other and both felt very sorry for Xiao Huo at home.
Ji Yun sighed: "It's okay, we'll bring it next time. Anyway, we didn't do it on purpose, we just forgot."
Yuexi nodded, comforting herself, "We didn't do it on purpose. We'll just bring it some gifts when we get back."
Shops along the street were displaying advertising banners, and loudspeakers were blaring slogans: "Listen up, boys..."
With a thought, Ji Yun stopped the loudspeaker from making any sound.
Although I've only just started cultivating, I already know how to use some tricks, and they don't require much spiritual energy.
Yuexi asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you break that speaker?"
"That's a marketing tactic used by dog sellers. It means that on this holiday, you have to buy me something, or it means you don't like me."
Yuexi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. I don't understand. The relationships in your world are too complicated, unlike us, where there are so many rules."
“Yes, that’s why I licked you.” Ji Yun said earnestly.
Yuexi hurriedly shook off his hand, her eyes wide with panic, and said, "You...you want to lick me? You can't do this, it's disgusting."
She quickly touched her arm, feeling goosebumps. When did this person develop this fetish, actually wanting to lick her?
She quickly moved a few steps away from Ji Yun, as if afraid that this person would pounce on her and lick her.
Ji Yun said speechlessly, "That's not what I meant, it's just... never mind, I can't explain it either."
"You have a special fetish, anyway, you're not allowed to lick me," Yuexi shouted.
The noise drew the attention of passersby on the street. It was so loud that it was heard by those around them, who all seemed to be watching the spectacle.
Ji Yun blushed slightly and hurriedly pulled Yue Xi away.
Yuexi struggled a few times: "Don't touch me, what if you lick me later?"
Ji Yun's lips twitched: "I won't lick you, okay?"
"You're lying! Last time you said you wouldn't smell clothes anymore, but then..."
"......"
Ji Yun, in a fit of anger, pulled her forcefully...
He couldn't pull it up; the fairy had taken root. He leaned closer and took a deep breath.
"I smelled it!"
Yuexi blushed instantly, utterly incredulous that he would do such a thing, and angrily exclaimed, "How could you be like this!"
"You always misunderstand me. What's wrong with me smelling my friend? If you want to smell her, I can let you."
"You lecherous scoundrel, who wants to hear about you?"
Yuexi squeezed his hand hard, making him wince in pain.
The two watched the performance at the fountain, which was very pleasing to the eye. Accompanied by music and lights, it was like a dream.
Yuexi's anger subsided somewhat.
The two packed some food and also brought a gift for Huo Feng—a duck and a swimming ring that came with the milk tea purchase.
Yuexi said somewhat embarrassedly, "Isn't this too perfunctory?"
"No, this is also a gift. Look how cute it is! It suits Xiao Huo's personality perfectly. I think it will love it."
Is that so?
Yuexi was finally relieved.
After leaving the pedestrian street, at the entrance and exit, there were many flower vendors selling all kinds of flowers, big and small, and quite a few people were buying them.
Yuexi noticed that many girls were carrying bouquets of flowers. Was this a holiday? There weren't any holidays where she lived.
I saw Ji Yun and Yue Xi holding hands.
A little boy ran over and asked, "Brother, should I buy a flower for your girlfriend?"
Ji Yun was about to speak when Yue Xi interrupted, "Little friend, how much does that cost?"
The little boy answered, "Ten yuan."
Then Yuexi took out her phone, paid, and gave it to Ji Yun.
"Thank you, I like it very much."
Although this thing wasn't very practical and Yuexi didn't know what it meant, she bought it because she saw many people buying it.
As I walked, I returned to the overpass.
The two took a photo together.
As Yuexi walked, she muttered to herself, "Something feels off. Why get so close to me when you're taking pictures? They're practically touching my face."
"That proves we have a great friendship. Look at all those people on the overpass just now, they were all taking pictures like that."
“We’re just ordinary friends. Only close friends would act like that.”
"So how far are we from becoming good friends?"
Yuexi thought about it carefully and gestured a distance with her hand: "It's this long."
Ji Yun said, "Let's go back and see if there are any small shops along the road. We can buy some yellow paper to swear brotherhood and be good brothers for life."
"No, then I'll shorten it a little more... I can't go any less, this is all I can manage."
Ji Yun: "......"
The original distance of about ten feet has now been shortened significantly, reduced by half.
There were many people tonight. He carefully observed the trash cans and found that there seemed to be no flowers on them this year. It seems that the "simp economy" has collapsed this year.
Previously, the trash can would receive a lot of flowers, and some female netizens joked that the trash can was better off than her, at least it received flowers.
Ji Yun was skeptical. She thought it might be a trap, or that the flowers she received weren't from her sweetheart.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Huo Feng's aggrieved expression.
If Ji Yun hadn't initially instructed it not to run around and to stay inside, it would have run out to find them.
Ji Yun explained, "We originally wanted to call you, but we suddenly forgot. We'll bring you next time."
"We brought you a gift. Today is Friends Day, and there's also some food."
Yuexi put a bunch of things on the table, then handed it a little duck wearing sunglasses and a swimming ring.
Fire Phoenix forced a smile and said, "I like it very much, thank you, Master and Master."
That's outrageous! What do you take me, a dignified fourth-tier demon beast, for? Are you trying to fool a child?
Yuexi was delighted: "I'm glad you like it. And there's all this food. It's delicious. You can't get this kind of food in our world."
Ji Yun sat on the sofa and posted a photo of them together on her WeChat Moments.
[These flowers were a gift from the Moon Fairy, I love them! Happy Holiday!]
