Chapter 23 Common Route (28) "No, I'm just with Danfeng..."
Common line (28)
Her dress fluttered in the breeze, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled brightly...
All the beauty was captured in the camera with a click that no one else could hear.
He Yuan had no idea how long she had been playing.
As the sun set and the sea shimmered with golden-red light, he slowly stopped and was carried off the mountain by Danfeng.
The onlookers had long since dispersed, leaving only the two lonely figures and the guardian below.
He Yuan hadn't walked far when she spotted Jing Yuan and Ying Xing. She grabbed her clothes and ran over, throwing herself into Ying Xing's arms, and then gave Jing Yuan a hug.
"Why is everyone here?"
The young man, his face still flushed, asked them with such curiosity.
He Yuan had thought they would arrive later.
After all, his date with Danfeng still had a little time left before it ended.
Jingyuan, carrying a food box, said, "If I hadn't come, the braised pork wouldn't have tasted good."
Ying Xing also picked up the box in his hand, "The weapon I made for you should be tested to see if it fits."
If this were a dating RPG game, you would likely be presented with two options at this moment, and choosing one person would decrease the other person's affection.
But this is a holographic game, and He Yuan chooses to have it all!
He stretched out both hands, picked one up in each hand, and casually said to the two, "Let's eat together later!"
The smooth, supple sleeves slid down to the back of the arm with the movement, revealing bluish-purple marks and bite marks on the clean forearm.
Unaware of what was happening, He Yuan raised her hand higher and waved her sleeve in front of the two of them.
Why are you all just standing there like idiots?
Jing Yuan suddenly grabbed his wrist and pulled his sleeve up a little more.
There were many marks on his upper arm, interspersed with several fading finger marks, which looked shocking.
He asked through gritted teeth, "Where did all of this come from? Won't it hurt?"
Jingyuan had no right to ask Heyuan if he was with Danfeng... but he could care about whether his close friend was in pain.
He Yuan shook her head honestly, "It doesn't hurt, it's just sore, and then it feels tingly and numb. Brother Danfeng is still very gentle."
Ying Xing grabbed his other hand, "What has Dan Feng done to you?!"
Is it really as those rumors say...?
Danfeng, you're worse than an animal!
What does He Yuan know? Is he in such a hurry to drag someone to bed?!
He Yuan looked at the two of them with suspicion, and said when Dan Feng walked up behind her, "No, I just kissed Brother Dan Feng."
"...Can't we kiss?" he asked cautiously.
In this situation, it seems the only option is to pretend not to understand and let them figure it out themselves.
Otherwise, your favorability rating will definitely decrease.
This is the goodwill he painstakingly (though not that hard) earned!
So both of their eyes were focused on Danfeng.
Ying Xing was so angry he almost punched Dan Feng. "What did you do to him?!"
But he just clenched his fist.
I can't cause trouble in front of A-Yuan, it will upset him.
Danfeng glanced at him indifferently, "Everything is as Ayuan said, it was just a kiss."
Jing Yuan's face darkened. "Do you think we'd believe that?"
How could just kissing leave these marks!
Seeing that they were about to fight, He Yuan immediately stepped forward and huddled in the triangle formed by the three of them, looking left and right.
Hmm... it seems like his vision is completely blocked.
He Yuan quietly tiptoed, spread her arms, and separated the two groups of people.
"I swear on my integrity, we only kissed and hugged."
He said with great sincerity, "I'm not a child. I can tell for myself whether Brother Danfeng did anything else."
Moreover, the game system will record everything accurately.
If He Yuan and Dan Feng only kiss and stick together, then the game record will be "[sticking together]". If they go all the way to the last step, it will be "[deeply sticking together]".
The latter has been used 0 times so far.
Yingxing and Jingyuan looked at each other with complicated expressions. They simply couldn't imagine what kind of kiss could have caused such a reaction.
He Yuan, carrying two boxes, quietly approached Ying Xing and said, "Brother Ying Xing, I'll teach you in a few days~"
Before Yingxing could answer, Heyuan slipped to Jingyuan's side.
I don't know what he said, but Jingyuan's expression improved a lot.
Finally, He Yuan snuggled up to her current boyfriend, Dan Feng.
"Brother Danfeng, I'm super, super happy today!"
His voice lowered slightly, "So I can forgive you for going a little bit too far."
For example, the matter of using his inner thigh.
That's outrageous.
In that position, if you even slightly tilt, you'll be buried in it.
Moreover, Danfeng wanted to do both at the same time, which was absolutely terrifying.
Danfeng took the box from his hand and asked Shuilong to carry it for him, while he took Heyuan's hand.
"Then that's going too far?" The voice sounded somewhat surprised.
It was just leg-crossing, but He Yuan made it sound like going too far.
What they're thinking is far more outrageous and despicable than this. How is A-Yuan supposed to deal with that?
If it were Yingxing who wanted to, would Ayuan refuse?
Many questions remained unanswered, and not a single word was uttered.
Upon hearing this, He Yuan's eyes widened immediately: "Isn't that going too far?!"
With just a couple of quick scalds, the soles of his legs were burned red.
Isn't this going too far?
Danfeng chuckled, "Then I won't do this anymore."
He will do things that are even more outrageous and profound.
The Dragon Lord firmly believed that the moonlight would eventually shine on him.
He Yuan stood on tiptoe and patted his shoulder, "That's more like it."
"Oh...right! Brother Danfeng, will you be coming to watch the martial arts ceremony?"
Danfeng pinched and played with Heyuan's fingers, "Is Ayuan inviting me?"
My fingers feel so good being squeezed...
He Yuan quietly clenched her fist and nodded, saying, "Yes, I will be allocated a family ticket. Jing Yuan and Ying Xing are going directly and don't need one, so I came to ask Dan Feng."
Family members.
What a beautiful word.
Presumably, the cameras at every match involving cranes and kites will also capture footage of the family seats.
Danfeng's mood improved dramatically. "Okay, I'll go see it."
He glanced back with a hint of pleasure in his eyes, a look of smugness in them.
Seeing his appearance, Ying Xing suddenly spoke up: "Does A Yuan need an assistant? Why don't you let me do it?"
Crane Kite: "Eh...?"
Ying Xing pointed to the box: "No one knows your weapon condition better than me, and no one can repair a weapon as quickly as I can and restore it to a usable state."
This is his advantage; no one can compare to him.
He Yuan slowed her pace, and after thinking it over, she agreed.
Players whose career paths haven't been unlocked yet don't have the ability to repair themselves; they either have to find an NPC or buy items from the overpriced system shop.
Ying Xing's suggestion couldn't be better.
He Yuan walked briskly to his side, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yingxing!"
Compared to these two, Jing Yuan doesn't seem to have any outstanding advantages, but—
"Xiao Yuan, we have training tomorrow. Have you prepared everything?"
But every day before the martial arts ceremony, he was inseparable from Xiao Yuan.
The red thread connecting Xiao Yuan and the others may have cracks, but they are still the closest people in the world.
"Not yet."
He Yuan felt guilty, but quickly retorted confidently, "I only found out today, how could I have had time to prepare!"
"It's alright, I've prepared everything for you, it's right here at home," Jing Yuan said with a smile.
He Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although those training sessions were a piece of cake for him, he still needed to have the right attitude.
Just as He Yuan was about to say something, Dan Feng took her hand.
Turning around, he met the aggrieved look in Long Zun's eyes.
...I forgot that Danfeng is now her boyfriend.
He Yuan immediately squeezed Dan Feng's hand back and whispered, "I'll stay after dinner, will you take me home?"
Danfeng looked down at him, her face seemingly melancholy. "Can I stay at your house?"
I won't be able to see you for the next few days.
Is the Dragon Lord being coquettish?
He Yuan nodded, still somewhat dazed, despite the disappointed looks from the two people behind her.
He'd never seen Danfeng's expression before; he simply couldn't refuse!
Ying Xing gave a forced smile: "Are you only giving A Yuan a ride? You shouldn't mind if I hitch a ride, right?"
Danfeng looked at Yingxing with hesitation.
He remembered that Yingxing had always been someone who gave quietly and selflessly, so why was she like this now...?
Why did they start fighting over it?
Danfeng always thought that it was all Heyuan's wishful thinking, and that once Ayuan understood Yingxing's retreat, she would return to his embrace.
But he didn't expect that Ying Xing would also join in.
I don't know when A-Yuan will separate from him, but I hope it will be as soon as possible.
Jing Yuan chimed in, "Brother Danfeng shouldn't mind including me, right?"
He's always the one who reaps the benefits from behind and plays a supporting role.
Jing Yuan's status meant that he didn't need to compete much to get most of He Yuan's attention.
The bond forged from childhood is too difficult to break, and Jingyuan is too clever; there's simply no way to begin.
Even so, Danfeng will not give up.
Lovers, spouses... there are always identities that are closer than childhood sweethearts.
Moreover, few childhood sweethearts actually end up together. The closer the relationship, the more they are bound by it, unable to take that step forward.
"What does A-Yuan think?" Danfeng asked.
He had to ask Ah Yuan's opinion before he could take her home.
He Yuan was enjoying the melon, but hesitated for a moment after Dan Feng asked her that question.
Or say, "Danfeng, please give me a ride. One car can't fit so many people."
After being refused, he added, "Brother Yingxing, I'll come to you after training tomorrow to adjust my weapons, and don't forget my armor!"
"Yuanmi, I'll be hitching a ride with you tomorrow, remember to call me."
With these three methods working together, we finally made it safely to the dining area.
He Yuan really felt that the [Multiple Endings] were not something a human could create; he had racked his brains for just a moment.
It's not like we're being fair.
Danfeng is still my "boyfriend," Yingxing is someone I'm developing a relationship with, and Yuanmi is my childhood friend; I need to show them all some favoritism.
If you favor both, you'll end up being impartial.
He Yuan sighed.
He sighed, and three more bites of food immediately appeared in the bowl in front of him.
Danfeng's pickled fish slices, Yingxing's beef tenderloin, and Jingyuan's braised pork.
Help! He can't just pick it all up and eat it all with one chopstick!
He Yuan once again reaffirmed her 1v1 strategy.
*
He Yuan ate three times the usual amount of food before she was finished with dinner.
He was so full that his vision blurred, and after leaving his seat, he immediately threw himself into Danfeng's arms, placing the Dragon Lord's hand on his lower abdomen.
"Brother Danfeng...I'm so full..."
The soft, whimpering sounds, like those of a kitten, emanated from my arms, making my heart itch with desire.
Danfeng gently stroked her slightly protruding belly, changing the tone of her soft moans.
"Don't eat anymore once you're full."
They all tacitly agreed not to cause trouble in front of He Yuan, but in the end, no one could control themselves.
"...This will not happen again," Danfeng said.
He Yuan, with her wet eyes open, sat on Dan Feng's lap and leaned against his shoulder.
“But this is everyone’s kind gesture,” he said, placing his hand over Danfeng’s. “And I ate it all. Aren’t you going to give me a reward?”
Danfeng sighed, "Giving you a reward is just to encourage you to keep doing this, isn't it?"
"It will be uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, He Yuan immediately pouted, "I'll only be upset if Brother Danfeng doesn't give me a reward."
Seriously... she's just being ridiculously cute!
Danfeng took out a box of gems and placed it in front of him. "This is a reward. Are you feeling better now?"
A dazzling array of gemstones, each a different color, are packed together in the box, radiating a mesmerizing brilliance.
He Yuan immediately hugged it to her chest, but said, "Not yet!"
She looked at him so fiercely, yet it only made her seem adorable.
It seems this really made people angry.
Danfeng hugged him and whispered in his ear, "I won't make things difficult for you like this again."
Even though it's called a fight, Ah Yuan shouldn't be treated like an object to be snatched away.
Each should rely on their own abilities, and it all depends on A-Yuan's wishes.
He liked He Yuan; his feelings for her were possessive, but more than that, they were filled with cherishing.
He preferred to see He Yuan laughing freely on the swing in the afternoon, rather than He Yuan hurting herself now so as not to make them sad.
“I know everyone wants to be good to me,” He Yuan said, “but they should also ask what I think.”
Those who are favored are fearless.
Although it was only a temporary debuff, He Yuan felt that she had been completely bewitched at the time!
How did he manage to eat it all?
Beauty truly can be deceiving.
"If you do this again, I'm ignoring you!"
As He Yuan spoke, she tapped the jade tablet on her wrist and sent messages to the other two people in the same way.
Danfeng then instructed someone to bring over several sets of clothes, saying, "These are clothes I had made for you."
The Dragon Lord's treasure trove was inexhaustible, and the materials used were quite luxurious. As soon as one entered, the entire room shone brightly.
Three sets of clothes in general.
A more casual style outfit, with the intricate details placed at the waist and abdomen, first crocheted with gold thread, then outlined with various rare and precious materials to depict a phoenix holding a pearl.
It was an extremely luxurious outfit; to use He Yuan's words, it was a display case for treasures. If the person wearing this outfit couldn't control it, disaster would surely follow.
One set is a neat, short-sleeved outfit in black, red, and white, suitable for all kinds of fighting situations.
He Yuan wanted to try, but after looking at her slightly undulating belly, she could only say, "Then I'll come the day after tomorrow."
The martial arts ceremony will start on Thursday, and the revival competition will have to wait until the weekend, or the day after tomorrow.
Danfeng stroked his hair, turned his head slightly, and pressed his lips to the young man's cheek.
"Okay, whatever you say."
He Yuan wasn't very angry to begin with, and quickly forgave the Dragon Lord under the pressure of money.
After putting away the box in his arms, he tilted his head up to kiss Danfeng's lips.
Practice shows that people who have just established a close relationship are always fascinated by intimate gestures.
He Yuan proved this statement to be true through her own actions.
On the way home, inside the Star Chariot, he sat directly on Danfeng's lap, kissing her affectionately and intermittently.
Danfeng pinched his chin and said in a deep voice, "Do you like it very much, A-Yuan?"
He Yuan responded with moist eyes and a tighter embrace.
...
As He Yuan stepped off the Star Chariot, she leaned heavily on Dan Feng's hand, her legs so weak she almost couldn't stand.
Jing Yuan, who was guarding the door, was itching to see this.
He stepped forward and supported half of He Yuan's body, but He Yuan twisted and dodged him.
"Xiao Yuan, I..."
He Yuan glared at him irritably, "I'm on a date with Danfeng, don't bother me, and don't throw stones at my window!"
If this continues, will he have to lose another morning?
"Remember to make me breakfast tomorrow." He left those words behind, then pulled Danfeng inside without looking back.
She looked fierce and aggressive, a far cry from her previous "soft and weak" demeanor.
Jingyuan watched the two figures until they disappeared through the closed door before turning his gaze away.
Xiao Yuan, you still can't get angry.
Every time we go out together, don't I always make breakfast?
...
Danfeng's attitude in apologizing was very good.
She can do whatever she wants in bed, and she takes a bath quietly without making any unnecessary movements.
He Yuan lay in bed feeling refreshed, and just before falling asleep, she suddenly remembered that her camera could be upgraded.
He glanced at Danfeng beside him, pondered for a moment, and decided to save the file first.
If it's going to be a nuisance, then we'll try again at another time!
A transparent light blue panel appeared before my eyes, with an upward arrow in the lower right corner of the camera icon.
Click on the item to enter the details page, where you can see the colorful light refracted by the ice crystal.
He Yuan saved a file and clicked the arrow.
The camera was enveloped in iridescent ice crystals, and the golden leaves on it emitted a faint glow, gradually extending and encroaching on the currently uninhabited territory.
【★The camera prop has been upgraded!】
[It seems a new feature has been unlocked, let's take a look!]
Crane briefly detached herself from her body and opened the camera details page.
【★★Item - Camera: An upgraded camera with photo/video/burning functions.】
Compared to before, the new feature should be [burning].
The ■■ on the interface also disappeared in time.
He Yuan clicked on it and discovered that it was a function that could turn photos into [light cones].
[The light cone is a solidified phenomenon encapsulated within. Its power is also sealed within a slice of light. *]
Of course, with the camera's current star rating, it can only produce a single star cone, which is basically only for ornamental purposes.
He tried to burn the footage of the Jianmu tree onto a CD, but the camera emitted a continuous buzzing sound, black smoke, and displayed the word "Failure".
Is there still a success rate?
He Yuan pondered for a moment and changed the photo to [Jing Yuan being lazy].
This time, the camera didn't emit black smoke; the light cone recorded the image, which floated in his palm.
Looking at the small, crystal-clear cones of light, He Yuan got a sudden inspiration and started carving a bunch of them.
After recording so many light cones, he discovered that if the subject of the light cone was someone else, the camera would always buzz, as if expressing its dissatisfaction.
—But if it were me, I would make a cheering sound, and the finished product would look more refined.
Does this camera have its own preferences?
He Yuan was completely baffled.
When it was Danfeng's turn to perform the sacrificial dance, a message popped up on the camera.
[Dynamic image detected. Should we create a dynamic light cone?]
[Currently can be retained for: 1 second]
If it's one second now, does that mean there will be even longer periods to come?
Then wouldn't he be able to wait until the day when he can have the entire dance recorded on it?
He Yuan first selected one of Dan Feng's spinning movements and recorded it.
He deliberately coordinated the movements, and the finished product was a dragon that kept spinning in circles.
nice!
The surrounding misty vapors, the solemn altar, and the faintly visible blue-green water dragon create an atmosphere of sanctity!
He Yuan was extremely satisfied with this copy, so he burned another one, intending to give it to Dan Feng.
As he regained consciousness, he quietly opened his eyes and found Danfeng holding him tightly, her hands pressed against his spine, almost unable to breathe.
It seems like...she's afraid he'll disappear?
He Yuan reached out and hugged her back, "What's wrong, Brother Danfeng?"
Danfeng said sullenly, "It's nothing, I just wanted to hold you."
He Yuan understood.
It's the reluctance to see it end soon.
He took the light cone out of his bag and quietly placed it in front of Danfeng.
"Brother Danfeng, please teach me again when you have time next time."
He Yuan praised, "Brother Danfeng danced so well, I was completely mesmerized."
Danfeng loosened his grip. "A-Yuan has already learned very well."
He doesn't need to teach me anymore.
“Fool,” He Yuan said.
Danfeng seemed to be stunned for a moment, not understanding what Heyuan meant.
The young man hurriedly shoved the light cone into his hand, saying, "I'll make an appointment with you again next time, Brother Danfeng!"
"But you didn't want to..."
Didn't you want to be with Yingxing? Why are you coming to see me?
He Yuan retorted, "Does falling in love and getting married mean I have to break ties with all of you?"
"We're friends, why can't you teach me to dance?"
What about Yingxing?
Danfeng swallowed those words.
Yingxing must have been prepared for this.
Probably.
They all seemed to have taken their relationships with He Yuan to a higher level, but from beginning to end, He Yuan's feelings were not love.
Danfeng humbly accepted the instruction: "A-Yuan, it was my fault."
He examined the light cone and suddenly asked, "Did A-Yuan make her own light cone?"
Compared to this one, Danfeng would prefer the light cone that belongs to Heyuan.
Upon hearing this, He Yuan took out a bunch of them.
It wasn't that he was narcissistic, but rather that he had many things to remember or CGs that the game system had taken for him, which he made into light cones and stacked up to create a spectacular sight.
Danfeng picked up a picture of a crane dressed as a prince and casually asked, "Which one is playing the princess?"
He Yuan blurted out, "Jing Yuan, it's always Jing Yuan who plays the princess."
Danfeng: "?"
Danfeng asked in confusion, "Why is it Jing Yuanyan?"
“When they asked me to play the prince, I felt that besides me, Jingyuan was the best-looking one in the class, so I said Jingyuan would play the princess and I would play the prince.”
While we're at it, let's also boost Jingyuan's stats a bit.
Danfeng paused, then asked casually again, "Based on your ages, you shouldn't be doing kissing scenes, right?"
He Yuan nodded, "Indeed, we used camera tricks back then."
Danfeng snorted and picked up the cranes and kites one by one to examine them, almost unable to put them down.
These are all moments he missed, and he wants to remember them well.
Of all these light cones, Danfeng's favorite is the one with the crane and kite swinging on a swing.
He quietly hid himself and asked, "Ah Yuan, isn't there a ticket for the swing?"
He Yuan searched for a while and found that it was indeed not there.
But it wasn't in my backpack either.
Could it be that he remembered it wrong?
He Yuan checked the recording again; the one of her swinging on the swing was indeed recorded.
Brother Danfeng doesn't seem like a liar.
He Yuan pondered for a moment and looked at the camera, which clearly showed a "biased" tendency.
The camera almost cried out that it was innocent.
It admitted that it carried out its master's orders and secretly copied all the light cones related to the crane and kite, sending them to the Pure Good Heaven.
But... it's just a tool to help, I would never dare to have such thoughts!
The camera had no choice but to reluctantly burn a temporary copy.
Crane Kite patted it, "Don't do that again next time."
camera:……
Is anyone speaking up for me?
*
In the realm of Good Vision, a cluster of light cones suddenly appeared on the previously empty tray.
If someone from the Flowing Light Memory Court were here, they would initially find the creation of this pile of light cones unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, they would discover that the emotions contained within them are no less than those of any high-level light cone.
A hand tinged with iridescent colors picked up one.
The youth on the cone of light, piled high with gold and jade, swayed in the gentle breeze.
He gazed at the scene, his icy head revealing no emotion.
"It's time."
"Just let me..."
In the empty space, no one asked him anything, and no one answered him.
Naturally, no one saw that the crown on His head was slightly drooping, and the beaded curtain was swaying.
The light cone on the tray had long since vanished without a trace.
-----------------------
Author's note: Just a little bit of chaos.
Activating the Martial Arts Ceremony acceleration package, and also bringing out the Star Gods who can participate for a spin.
The current A-Yuan: a kissing maniac.
I arranged a photo shoot for A-Yuan and put the character card in, but I don't know if it's showing up yet.
There will be another update later, around 7 PM.
