Chapter 4 Common Line (04) "Jingyuan and I argued too much this morning..."
Jingyuan didn't fall asleep until after midnight. He wanted to stay in bed a little longer, but around six o'clock he heard a noise next to him.
The crane kite rose.
From the day they met, no matter what time she went to bed the night before, He Yuan would always get up at six o'clock.
After regaining his mobility, he made sure to exercise every day without interruption, never taking a break.
Jingyuan struggled to open his eyes and buried himself in the blankets.
Soon after, He Yuan finished dressing.
He stood by the bed, gazing at Jingyuan's sleeping face, and reached out to give Jingyuan's hair a makeover.
Cats should act like cats!
The moment He Yuan saw Jing Yuan as a child, she wanted to do just that.
Just as he was about to stick out two cat ears, Jing Yuan opened his eyes, stretched his arm out from under the covers, and pulled He Yuan back onto the bed.
Looking at her disheveled hair, He Yuan wailed inwardly.
It was so close!!!
He was pulled back to his side-lying position by Jing Yuan, close to the wall, facing the other person.
Facing the scrutinizing golden eyes of the Cloud Cavalry Guards, He Yuan showed no sign of weakness and reached out again to try.
Then they were sanctioned.
But He Yuan was no pushover either, and immediately started wrestling with Jing Yuan on the bed.
He moved his still relatively free legs first, then used his waist and abdomen to flip himself over and sit on Jing Yuan.
The view from above is not bad.
He Yuan exerted force with her thighs, clamping her body tightly between the blankets, her calves straight, pressing firmly against the mattress, leaving a deep mark.
Although his hands were still being held, he already had a confident and assured attitude.
Jing Yuan, with his eyes half-closed, didn't loosen his grip at all, and pulled He Yuan towards him.
The tense young man suddenly slumped down, his chest and abdomen arched as he fell onto Jing Yuan, his hair burying in the nape of his neck.
Crane Kite, who had finally managed to strike a pose: ...
Jingyuan immediately changed his position, wrapping his arms around the young man's waist: ^-^
As someone who could serve as a Cloud Cavalry Guard and even aspire to become a Divine Strategy General, Jing Yuan's martial prowess and strength were naturally quite formidable.
Crane Kite had good core strength, but he couldn't escape the octopus-like position that bound him.
What's more, Jingyuan's leg was tangled up with his own.
The thin blankets had long since slipped to the floor with their movements, leaving only the two of them writhing on the bed.
Taking advantage of Jingyuan's thin pajamas, Heyuan scratched his itch.
Jing Yuan was unaffected, and instead reached out to tickle his waist and pinch his nose.
He Yuan tickled Jing Yuan's soles with her toes.
Jingyuan immediately kneed him.
This continued until a loud "thud" was heard, the bed board cracked, and the two of them fell off the bed together.
He Yuan's clothes were in a mess, with her top pulled up to reveal a slender, fair waist.
The low-rise pants exposed half of her lower back, and Jingyuan's fingers sank into them.
His whole body was flushed red from the beating, and his cheeks were rosy.
Her dark hair was disheveled and stuck to her cheeks, her lips were open as she breathed, and the tip of her bright red tongue was faintly visible.
Jing Yuan was stunned for a moment, then He Yuan flipped him over and pinned him to the carpet.
This time, He Yuan clung to him like an octopus, her hands moving wildly across his hair.
The young man was still panting, his chest rising and falling with each breath, and his wide collar was clearly visible with just a glance.
Jing Yuan lowered his eyes, avoiding eye contact.
"Okay!"
Crane Kite clapped her hands, looking at her work with satisfaction.
Jing Yuan, the dignified Cloud Cavalry Guard, the disciple of the Sword Master, and the next Divine Strategy General, has grown ears on his head!
They even have super cute cat ears!
He then ran his finger along the corner of Jing Yuan's mouth and commented, "Lord Xiaowei is so cute!"
In that moment of relaxation, Jingyuan's arm silently pressed against Heyuan's lower abdomen, lifting her off his body and setting her down.
He sat on the carpet with his back to He Yuan, and when he tried to mess up his hairstyle, He Yuan pounced on him from behind.
Cheek to cheek, the skin of my beloved pressed against mine, our breaths swirling around us.
Jing Yuan reluctantly let go. "I'll keep it. Can I go wash up? I'm afraid I'll be late for work."
He Yuan stood up, complaining, "Didn't we stay up all night last night? Why aren't we getting a day off today?"
"Who made me stay up all night, huh?" Jing Yuan's tone was slightly harsh.
He Yuan refused to take the blame, saying, "You don't have to come. Nothing will happen anyway."
Jingyuan, like a kitten baring its teeth, pinched Heyuan's cheeks and pulled them apart. "I'm not coming? Who's going to clean up your mess if I don't come!"
"The Starry Sky Martial Arts Competition is about to begin. Luo Fu cannot afford any more incidents in the coming days, do you understand?!"
He lowered his voice a little, "Even if you want to cause trouble, you should at least say so in advance."
Give him some time to prepare.
He Yuan knew her place and immediately nodded.
Jingyuan let go of him and went to wash up.
He Yuan examined herself in the mirror.
Jing Yuan pinched her cheeks, leaving two light pink marks. There were also pinch marks and scratch marks on her lower back and neck.
It looks serious, but it's actually nothing serious.
This isn't the first time we've done this; we do it every now and then.
...But the bed collapsed only today.
He Yuan glanced guiltily at the bed that had turned into a V-shape, thinking that she would buy a bed for Jing Yuan during their date that afternoon.
He straightened his clothes and first arranged his schedule for the morning.
Hmm... I'm meeting Yingxing and the others at 2 PM, so I can use the time before then to grind some stats.
You can never have too much of this stuff; the higher the quantity, the more secure it is.
After a tedious schedule, He Yuan arrived at Nevernight Inn early, ordered five cups of milk tea, and waited for the three people she had arranged to meet and one person who did not exist at all.
Yes, the so-called date was entirely fabricated. After all, his current target was Ying Xing, and involving others would make things difficult to handle later.
Crane Kite sucked on the pearls, and casually browsed the forum to see what was new.
[Log] [Let's see how many times I can get married in this save file! Also, here's a record of each marriage partner~]
[Strategy] [How to Maximize Benefits in Starry Sky Martial Arts]
[Guide] [How to Identify Which Players Can Achieve the [Multiplayer Ending]]
[Record] [I unexpectedly obtained the [breeding] bloodline, which actually allows me to increase the number of offspring. Let me show you the maximum number of children I can have.]
[Rant] [I've lost my partner again... Remember to pay attention to your partner's mental state and stress levels before marriage, otherwise you might find yourself without one one.]
...
He Yuan looked over at each of them and carefully read through the two guides.
I also accidentally saved a post about "multiple endings".
What? I didn't know you could do something like sleeping in the same bed with someone?
—Based on the original poster's experience, rivals/brothers/friends are relatively easy to reach. Just be careful to keep things balanced and don't show too much concern for any one person (the AI in this game is too strong...). After a while, these people will come to you on their own.
I can give it a try next time I encounter it!
—However, there are exceptions. I have a rival teammate who completely broke ties with me… I feel it's related to their hidden possessiveness and level of sincerity. Imprisoning both of them simultaneously is also an option, provided you have high combat strength.
Imprisoning a disobedient person...how interesting!
Crane Kite began to consider the design of the cage.
—For strangers, try to get them to come out and have fun together, and gradually get to know each other until you become friends (but it's difficult because everyone will see each other as rivals).
Let's fight! He loves watching that!
He Yuan was engrossed in watching when Jing Yuan rushed over and sat down beside him.
Where is the person you made an appointment with?
When Jing Yuan arrived, He Yuan was sitting alone at a table with five cups of milk tea on it, but he was all alone.
He Yuan closed the forum and sighed, "It seems like I've been stood up."
The young man's cheeks puffed out. "What the heck... This is the first time I've ever been stood up!"
Jing Yuan was secretly overjoyed, but outwardly shared He Yuan's indignation, saying, "He must feel he's not good enough for you, so he's not coming."
He picked up the olive lemon tea from the table and casually asked, "So what's the plan next?"
He Yuan pondered, "Let's wait for them to arrive first. We'll go pick out a bed later, otherwise you won't have anywhere to sleep tonight."
Jingyuan: "Have you forgotten that I have a key to your house?"
He Yuan: "It's not that you can't sleep at my house, but..."
He looked at Jing Yuan's cat-ear hairstyle.
Jing Yuan chuckled: "Don't forget how the bed collapsed; you have to take responsibility for that."
Just as He Yuan was about to retort, a voice came from behind her: "Responsible for what?"
It's Danfeng.
He picked up the Lin Yuan Chun tea from the table and sat down on the other side of He Yuan. "What does Jing Yuan want you to be responsible for?"
The dragon lord with dragon horns looked displeased. "Or has something else gone wrong? I'll help you sort it out."
When He Yuan spoke again, Ying Xing arrived and sat opposite him, asking, "Where is the person you arranged to meet?"
The craftsman glanced at Jingyuan and Danfeng, then looked at the amount of milk tea on the table, his face showing confusion.
He Yuan finally managed to escape being interrupted. "Jing Yuan and I were fighting so badly this morning that the bed collapsed."
After these words were spoken, the table fell silent.
Ying Xing gritted his teeth: "This bed is of such poor quality, I'll make you a new one."
Danfeng glanced at Jingyuan and said, "Come sleep in Linyuan Realm. My bed won't collapse."
Jing Yuan was speechless: "...Have you misunderstood something?"
He Yuan explained, "We were fighting in bed this morning and accidentally broke the bed."
He pointed to the red mark on his collar and said reproachfully, "Look how hard Jing Yuan hit me!"
Unbuttoning two buttons at the neckline revealed a large expanse of snow-white skin, making the fingerprints and scratches on it all the more striking.
Jing Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the overly sharp gazes of Dan Feng and Ying Xing.
He pointed to his hair and said, "He Yuan insisted on giving me this hairstyle this morning. I refused, and then we started fighting."
Danfeng glanced at it, then turned away, suppressing a laugh.
Yingxing almost spat out the milk tea in her mouth.
...I really didn't notice at all.
He Yuan nudged Jing Yuan with her elbow, "This hairstyle suits you so well! And you're not even thanking me!"
Ying Xing coughed twice. "Stop arguing about this. Tell me where the person you asked to meet went?"
Anyway, once they knew Jingyuan hadn't managed to steal the food, the matter was over.
As for those traces... we'll deal with them later; there's always a place where they can be returned.
He Yuan feigned a sullen expression, "He didn't come. I was stood up."
"My date that I planned for today is ruined."
Ying Xing feigned regret: "That's a real pity... It's his lack of discernment, not your fault."
Danfeng agreed, "It's good that we don't need to waste time with this kind of person."
He Yuan looked like she had figured it out, "You're right."
"In that case, let's go pick out a bed for Jingyuan first! Otherwise, he'll be staying at my house tonight."
Jing Yuan chuckled: "Why don't you say that you forced your way into my house last night and slept in my bed?"
He Yuan's eyes widened: "Then you could have kicked me out! You didn't kick me out, so doesn't that mean you agree?"
"I even gave you my house key, so why can't I sleep at your place?"
Danfeng said, "I can also give you the key to my house. You're welcome to come and sleep here anytime."
Ying Xing remained silent on this issue.
He Yuan immediately reached out to Dan Feng, "Give it to me."
Danfeng gave away one of the only two keys.
[Obtained item: [Scale Abyss Realm Pass (All Areas Included)]]
He Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at Dan Feng with even more fervent eyes.
Danfeng, how did you know I'm lacking [Jianmu] right now!
He quickly packed it into his backpack, saying, "I'll definitely come in a few days!"
Then, He Yuan took out a die, cleared her throat, and said, "I don't think my date plans can fall through, so—"
"Each of you choose two numbers, and I'll pick one lucky person to go on a date with."
We'll manipulate Yingxing behind the scenes in a bit; the plan is working!
"After buying the bed for Jingyuan," Heyuan added.
A note from the author:
----------------------
While writing this chapter, I kept thinking: [Jing Yuan, are you going to plagiarize or not? Are you going to plagiarize or not?]
Finally, here's a post from a friend; it's already open!
[Genshin Impact] Diluc's Domesticated Dragon Man (CP: Diluc)
One day, Mondstadt gained a little dragon named Nata who kept shouting that he wanted to be the god of fire.
However, even dragons need to eat on their path to godhood, and they eat quite a lot.
Rice Dragon Bucket glanced at the empty money bag, patted its rumbling stomach, and sighed.
Let's eat first.
Suddenly, someone from the caravan he had rescued took the initiative to apply to 'raise dragons'.
Diluc: Stay at my house, all food and drink included.
Little Dragon Man: I agree!
At first, Diluc only wanted to protect this innocent little dragon of unknown origin, but he never expected that his feelings for the dragon would change as he raised it.
Diluc: It's not too late to start making changes now.
Little Dragon Man: What do you mean "start"? Does it mean we can have afternoon tea a second time?! Then I want the stack you made to be super high!
However, when faced with epic-quality wood, his various romantic declarations of love suffered a crushing defeat, and not just once.
Diluc: It's okay, I can wait.
Little Dragon Man: Wait? Do I have to wait until dinner is ready? I'm starving! QWQ
As they waited, the day of Diluc's coming-of-age ceremony finally arrived. As the blazing sun ignited the gloomy rainy night, Diluc's sincere heart was also ignited.
Facing the evil dragon released by the Fatui, the chubby little dragon raised by Diluc bared its teeth fiercely.
Little Dragon Man: You think you're the only one with a dragon? We have dragons too!
Anyone who dares to bully his brother will be sent to sweep the streets of the Night God's Kingdom!
——————
In Solaris's memory, Diluc was always mature and reliable, a powerful yet gentle knight of the dawn, as well as a proud and composed noble gentleman.
But Diluc, who only bares his fangs to his enemies, was ultimately defeated by the oblivious nature of his beloved.
Later, when the enlightened little dragon was pinned down by the knight and kept taking from him, he couldn't help but bite the tip of his tail and fall into deep thought.
It turns out Diluc was serious back then; he really didn't want to be his brother, but rather his wife!
Diluc sighed: She's not my wife... Oh well, whatever makes you happy.
