Chapter 14 Common Route (14) "Okay, then you'd better push it well..."
After quickly wiping themselves down, He Yuan and Ying Xing rode the Star Chariot back to He Yuan's home.
With the high-tech home appliances from Xianzhou, their clothes dried quickly, and they snuggled together on the sofa in the living room to buy groceries.
Once you've made your purchase, the clever bird—Xianzhou's intelligent courier—will deliver it to you.
When Heiyuan first logged into the game, she bought a huge amount of food to practice [cooking]. The mechanical birds filled the entire yard, attracting the attention of Jingyuan, who was a child at the time.
Xiao Jingyuan, perched on the wall, stared at him in shock.
"Are you sure you can finish all this food?"
His family of three doesn't even need to use one small corner of this place in a day.
How can Crane and Kite be used by one person?
He Yuan smiled mysteriously and, in front of Xiao Jingyuan, put all these things into his backpack.
Of course, we use a backpack with a maximum of 9999 slots to store them!
It won't break at all.
He waved his sleeves and went back inside, completely ignoring Xiao Jingyuan's wide-eyed stare.
Recalling the past, He Yuan suddenly smiled, drawing Ying Xing's sidelong glance.
"Do you like this dish?" he asked.
He Yuan shook her head. "No, I just thought of something interesting."
He vividly recounted his childhood to Yingxing.
The game's world contains a species called [Star Gods], which represent a collection of certain concepts, and the player's inventory naturally incorporates them.
After hearing this, Ying Xing first laughed, then realized something was wrong.
"Fifteen years ago... Little Kite, you were only five years old, weren't you?!"
Which family would let their five-year-old cook and practice their culinary skills?
What incredibly carefree parents must be!
Yingxing was initially jealous when she heard about the relationship between Heyuan and Jingyuan.
Those were fifteen years that belonged to the two boys, and no one else could interfere.
They are inseparable, talk about everything, and even have the key to each other's most private spaces.
But her heartache for He Yuan quickly took over, consuming all other emotions.
Yingxing remembered that when he was five years old, he would at most follow behind his father and help him operate the bellows, watching an ordinary piece of iron being forged into a shiny shape.
That was a very enjoyable process.
He suddenly realized that he didn't understand He Yuan at all.
His understanding of He Yuan was limited to the last two years.
Understanding the habitat of the crane kite is indeed very necessary.
Yingxing couldn't imagine how heartbroken Heyuan would be if she left like this.
He Yuan was left at home by her parents from a young age, yet she still became such an outstanding person. It's perfectly normal for her to be unclear about her feelings!
For most people, the first and most selfless love they receive in their lives comes from their parents.
Receive love from your parents, understand love, learn to love, and pass on love.
He Yuan did not feel love from her parents, but she learned how to "love" others without being taught.
Even if he has no "love" for himself, he has no "love" for anyone.
But that doesn't matter anymore.
Yingxing suddenly hugged Heyuan, their foreheads lightly touching.
Crane and Kite looked blankly at each other.
Is it strange that a five-year-old can cook?
In reality, he learned it on his own around the same time.
If the male and female protagonists in novels are like this, isn't it normal for him to be like this too?
He grabbed Yingxing's collar and, bewildered, pressed his lips to the man's cheek.
“Cooking is very simple,” He Yuan thought for a moment, then added, “It’s very easy to learn.”
Yingxing hugged him even tighter, "I'll cook this meal."
"Huh?"
"Could you please give me some room to demonstrate my competitiveness?" Ying Xing said.
He Yuan agreed with a puzzled look, then asked suspiciously:
"Why is Yingxing trying to demonstrate his competitiveness?"
Yingxing lightly pecked his forehead, "Of course, it's to show you my best side."
“I’ve already seen it,” He Yuan said. “Brother Yingxing has always been shining brightly in my heart.”
...I can't stand it anymore, how can he say sweet words so naturally?
Ying Xing sighed, "Let's just say it's because I want to do something for you. You can't be the only one putting in the effort in a relationship."
He Yuan seemed to understand something and nodded.
While Yingxing was cooking in the kitchen, Heyuan quickly opened the forum and found the posts she had saved.
[Thirty-Six Strategies for Love] [How to Win Over Someone Who Initially Rejected You]
Game forums only have guides related to attributes. As for romance routes, since the random characters in each save file are different and there is no general classification, there are very few guides in this area.
Even if there are, most of them just teach you to achieve some "grossing" endings, with the previous "multiplayer endings" being one such example.
This is common to all the characters.
He Yuan could only turn to some real-world dating forums for help.
He liked the post, sent a small gift, and left a comment:
[Although there were some ups and downs, I finally won over the person I liked!]
Ying Xing is the "person" he likes.
No problem!
He Yuan thought about it for a moment, then followed this relationship blogger again.
The blogger's "36 Strategies for Love" series is still being updated, and you never know when you might need to use it.
It worked perfectly, at least on Ying Xingge.
However, this also seems to prove that the game's AI has reached a level of near-humanization.
I love this game!
When Yingxing hugged him just now, I felt warm all over.
He Yuan thought for a moment, then secretly took a picture of Yingxing's back as he washed vegetables in the kitchen using the jade tablet.
Post it on WeChat Moments.
【Yuanfei: Yingxing-ge cooked for me~ [heart][heart][heart]】
Several likes and comments immediately appeared below.
[Real-name registration required: There will be braised pork at the Shencefu canteen tomorrow, don't miss it.]
He Yuan replied: Pack some food for me in a lunchbox [pity][pity][pity]
[Feng: I can make it too. Try my cooking tonight.]
Crane Kite replied: Okay—[heart emoji][heart emoji][heart emoji]
Oh right, by the afternoon, the day-long date between lovers will be over.
I'll definitely continue developing my relationship with Ying Xing.
but--
He Yuan is a person who holds grudges.
Ying Xing's rejection of him before the save file was loaded, and her subsequent overnight return to Zhu Ming, have been a source of resentment for him ever since.
They need to be ignored for a little while.
So the date with Danfeng can go ahead!
It's not about [Jianmu] or any strange or unusual questions.
It wasn't because of Danfeng's dragon horns or his face.
The NPCs in the game are all so good-looking, it's no wonder players are fickle!
And he's in love!
Spending time with one person is spending time with them, and spending time with two, three, or four people is also spending time with them!
He Yuan convinced herself.
A little while later, Yingxing brought out the dishes one by one and prepared to take off her apron.
He Yuan grabbed his hand, her eyes sparkling as she stared at him.
"Brother Yingxing, can you kiss me like this?"
It's Ying Xing-ge wearing an apron!
It's like a hidden item in a blind box!
I don't know how it feels.
Yingxing adjusted the hem of his apron, cleared his throat, and picked up Heyuan with both hands, placing her on the table.
He Yuan quickly wrapped her hand around his and looked at him expectantly.
He held the back of He Yuan's head, opened his lips, and took her soft, fragrant lips into his mouth, pressing and grinding them with his tongue and teeth, making them wet and glistening.
He Yuan grabbed his collar, opened her lips and extended her tongue to touch Ying Xing's tongue.
"Come in... Brother Yingxing..." the young man mumbled.
Then, his tongue was caught in his teeth.
Yingxing had no more scruples, and the waves crashed against the shore like a storm.
Before anyone knew it, He Yuan's legs had wrapped around Ying Xing's waist.
His ever-closer body, increasingly passionate embrace and response acted as catalysts, causing beads of sweat to appear on his forehead and a fragrant, sweaty scent to emanate from his neck.
After the stormy waves subsided, came the intimate, clingy whispers and cuddling.
Yingxing's apron was crumpled up by Heyuan.
As if as punishment, he buried his face in the young man's fair neck, leaving a tender, yet deeply affectionate mark.
"like……"
Crane Kite whispered unconsciously.
He liked this feeling.
It felt warm and cozy, like being bathed in sunlight.
Yingxing paused, then lovingly kissed his lips.
"Let's eat first."
He placed his palm on her thin belly and said, "I can hear it calling from here."
The crane-like bird lowered its head.
His large, calloused hands, covered in mottled fabric, were touching his lower abdomen through the thin fabric of his clothes, as if they were about to pierce through him at any moment.
He leaned on Yingxing's shoulder playfully and said with a smile, "I want Brother Yingxing to carry me."
Couples should be all lovey-dovey!
Ying Xing chuckled, tightened his arms around the young man, and placed him on the chair.
After an overly intimate lunch, the two sat on the sofa again.
To be precise, Ying Xing was sitting on the sofa, and He Yuan was sitting on Ying Xing's lap, leaning against Ying Xing face to face.
"Did you learn this online too?" Ying Xing's hand rested on He Yuan's waist, his fingers unconsciously grinding against the soft flesh on her side, sending a shiver down her spine.
He Yuan nodded with her eyes closed, looking exhausted and drowsy.
Yingxing stopped bothering him, gently stroking Heyuan's back with her warm palm, and slowly stopped as his breathing slowed down.
For Yingxing, this was a rare, quiet and relaxing afternoon.
He held the crane-like creature close to prevent the young man from moving around, and then fell asleep as well.
The soft sounds coming from the screen, the sweet breathing in his ears, the sweetheart wrapped around his arms and legs... everything today made up the most beautiful memories of Yingxing's life.
He was always a light sleeper and used to short rest periods. He woke up after about twenty minutes and carried He Yuan to his room upstairs.
Crane Kite also woke up.
He pulled Yingxing to lie down on the bed with him, opening up his private space to her.
He Yuan glanced at the time, her fingers circling in Ying Xing's white hair.
"Brother Yingxing, you have half an hour left."
...What, half an hour?
Yingxing immediately realized that this was the time of the "one-day date" that Heyuan had originally planned.
He leaned closer. "Are you telling me it's over?"
He Yuan snorted lightly, "Of course, I keep my word."
He paused, then said, "Forever counts too."
Yingxing's mood plummeted like a rollercoaster, then soared to the heavens.
"Then why end it?"
He Yuan declared confidently, "Because Brother Yingxing kept rejecting me, I was very angry, so I'm going to reject him back!"
"I hold grudges very much!"
Yingxing chuckled, ruffled Heyuan's hair, and hugged him in her arms, soothing him like a cat.
"Okay, then you'd better refuse me properly."
He Yuan nodded in satisfaction and moved closer to Ying Xing. "But you can't refuse me!"
"Um...can we kiss again?"
A soft voice rang in Yingxing's ear.
A note from the author:
----------------------
Jingyuan exists at every moment.
Danfeng is about to start ranking up.
Yingxing was prepared to be rejected.
My friend strongly condemned me for writing too much about Yingxing's behavior and ordered me to write just as much about Danfeng.
Me: ...This isn't my fault! It's because Yingxing keeps refusing, that's why this happened!
I glanced at the steel billet I had ordered earlier... I originally planned to go through all ten bills before starting married life.
As it turned out, plans couldn't keep up with changes.
In short, Danfeng will probably write this long post as well, so hopefully everyone won't feel it's too slow-paced.
Jing Yuan has a lot of plot to follow, so don't worry, he's the man who's involved in the main storyline (sound).
Also, do you have any nutrient solution I could get? [Facepalm peeking][Facepalm peeking][Facepalm peeking]
Lots of comments are welcome! [kiss][kiss][kiss] This chapter is an extra chapter for every 100 comments. I rushed to finish writing it.
