Chapter 64 Zhu Mingxing: "I secretly brought ten sets, to save time tearing them up..."
When He Yuan looked out the porthole at the golden sesame plant that resembled an exquisitely carved tree*, her eyes widened.
He was holding Ying Xing's hand, chewing on the squid strips that Ying Xing was feeding him.
Upon seeing such a wondrous sight, even the act of chewing slowed down, and before one could even swallow, a finger was extended towards the celestial vessel that resembled a dawn cutting through the darkness.
"Brother Yingxing, this is the Zhu Ming Immortal Boat..."
Crane and kite have never visited Zhu Ming's fairy boat.
In the previous storyline, the idea of the four of them living together was unacceptable to the public. They only proposed in private, treated Bai Heng and Jing Liu to a simple meal, and then moved in together.
Not to mention returning to the Ming Dynasty.
To outsiders, they were just friends like family. Naturally, He Yuan had never returned to Zhu Ming with Ying Xing, nor did she know many people from the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship.
He met Yan Tingjun by chance when he was learning perfumery.
This was the second time Yingxing had seen the entire Zhu Ming Immortal Boat.
When he went to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship, he used all his savings to get a small seat on the bottom deck. After that, he entered the port and arrived at the Star Chariot Port called Bright Sky.
He first saw the full view of the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship when he went to the Luofu Immortal Ship.
It has been almost ten years since I last saw my master.
He gripped He Yuan's hand tightly. "Okay, when you go down later, remember to hold on tight to me."
"Brother Yingxing treats me like a child," He Yuan teased him, but obediently returned the handshake.
On their clasped hands, on the extremely fair hand, adorned a large, grayish-purple gemstone ring, surrounded by a ring of light blue and light purple rhinestones, looking exceptionally luxurious.
After the proposal that day, He Yuan became obsessed with changing the color and style of the rings according to her clothes, and would even ask Ying Xing to match them with hers.
No matter where they go, you can easily tell their relationship just by looking at the rings on their hands.
Ying Xing wore a casual white and dark blue plaid vest, with a long white trench coat over it.
He Yuan, knowing she was going to meet an old man today, obediently wore long pants in a color scheme similar to Ying Xing's.
Yingxing said his master was very fashionable and wouldn't have any objections to his clothing.
But He Yuan thought it best to leave a good impression on their first meeting.
but……
"Brother Yingxing, aren't we too hot wearing so many clothes?" He Yuan tugged at her coat.
Bright red and yellow hues always give people a burning feeling, which is especially evident in the Zhu Ming Xian Zhou.
Even though they were only getting closer, He Yuan felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Even with the air conditioning on in the eco-cabin to regulate the temperature, he inexplicably felt that the temperature was rising.
Ying Xing chuckled softly, "No, it won't. Zhu Ming and Luo Fu are similar. You'll know when you get to Guangming."
He added, "Guangming is Zhu Ming's Xingcha Port, which is similar to the Liuyun Ferry and Xingcha Sea Central Hub of Luofu."
He Yuan knew he was laughing at her, so she gave a soft hum and put on Ying Xing's newly made leather shoes. "How could you laugh at me, Brother Ying Xing?"
Stepping on feet is Crane Kite's way of throwing a tantrum, and it's easy to recognize.
The force of the kick wasn't strong, so he wasn't that angry; he was just teasing him.
It's about the level of a Persian cat scratching its chest, but with its claws tucked in.
"I just thought you were cute, I wasn't laughing at you."
Yingxing clearly saw the slight annoyance that had just appeared on the young man's face.
They're adorable no matter what.
He Yuan was quickly appeased and withdrew her foot. "Then wipe it yourself, don't make it seem like I'm abusing you."
If General Huaiyan saw Yingxing being trampled on, wouldn't he think he was abusing Yingxing?
Yingxing chuckled: "Master can tell."
Huaiyan can tell which parts are romantic or suggestive.
People who have lived for thousands of years shouldn't be unable to see these things.
He Yuan felt like she was being ridiculed again.
He kept his head down and didn't speak, no matter how gently Ren Yingxing tried to coax him, he wouldn't look up.
That's outrageous, Brother Yingxing.
Finally, after being led off the ecological ship and arriving at the Bright Future that Ying Xing had mentioned, He Yuan paid him a little more attention.
"Explain properly next time, don't make fun of me." He Yuan tugged at Ying Xing's sleeve, her round eyes trying to look fierce.
Ying Xing suppressed a laugh, "Okay, okay, I promise I won't make fun of you next time."
They retrieved their stored luggage and, after passing through inspection, arrived at Yingxing's home in Zhuming.
A very basic studio apartment.
A bed, a table, and a matching chair—it was almost identical to Ying Xing's rest room in Luofu Studio.
As Yingxing stood at the door, he suddenly remembered how simple his home was and turned around to block the light switch.
"Shall we go stay at an inn?"
The bed wasn't big enough for He Yuan to roll around and play on; everything inside was too cramped to fit He Yuan's clothes.
He Yuan shook her head. "Not good."
He deftly pushed Yingxing aside, pressed the handle, and slipped inside through the crack in the door.
"Brother Yingxing, aren't you living quite well here?"
The sound came through the door, and Yingxing felt a strange sensation in her heart.
He remembered that He Yuan's house in Luofu was next to Jing Yuan's.
Jingyuan's parents worked in the Earth Balance Bureau and came from a family with a long history in the bureau, so their salaries were quite considerable, and the house they bought was naturally of high quality.
He Yuan lived next door, and Ying Xing had also visited his home.
It's a detached little building; while not luxurious, it's certainly exquisite.
How could he say this place is nice?
Ying Xing pushed open the door and walked in, only to find He Yuan already lying in bed.
He immediately picked the person up and placed them on the suitcase.
Even if he set the cleaning mode before leaving so that he could move in without cleaning when he came back, this bedding set is already ten years old!
It has to be changed.
Yingxing opened the Jade Tablet and quickly placed an order for a bunch of things, causing flocks of clever birds to land in front of the door.
He Yuan clicked on the consumption information.
The main card is with him now, and the supplementary card is with Ying Xing. He knows exactly what Ying Xing bought.
Ultra-thin and comfortable bedding, silk pillows, various table mats and mattresses, and all sorts of tools.
He Yuan looked around and said, "Brother Yingxing, there's not enough room for everything you bought."
Yingxing shared the screen with him, "I asked the landlord, and the next room hasn't been rented out yet. I'll find someone to do a quick renovation in a bit, and put my things there."
Since He Yuan wants to stay here, he can only try his best to create the conditions.
When you calculate it this way, the cost is much higher than staying in a hotel.
However, neither of them seemed to care much.
He Yuan looked around at the furnishings and seemed to see Ying Xing before he came to Luofu.
For him, this place was probably just a place to rest, sleep, and wash up; there was very little stuff there.
The only signs of interest were the picture frames on the table, the books bound by bookends, and the pen holder, along with some naive designs among the heavy notebooks stored nearby.
He Yuan hooked her hand around Ying Xing's palm, "May I see the photo frame and that notebook?"
The young man's face was full of curiosity, but he came up with a high-sounding reason: "I want to know more about you."
Yingxing wiped the table, then brushed away the non-existent dust from the book, and gave it to Heyuan along with the photo frame.
The picture frame was rather crudely made, but on the back, the two crooked characters "Ying Xing" were engraved.
These are probably some of the finished products from Ying Xing Ge's novice period.
Inside the frame is a family photo of three people: Yingxing as a child and a couple. Heyuan guessed that they were Yingxing's parents.
Yingxing inherited her father's hair color and her mother's eye color. Her beautiful features were inherited from her mother, but she also had a hint of her father's sternness.
In short, handsome and dashing.
He Yuan wouldn't be so tactless as to bring up painful memories; after a quick glance, she picked up the thick notebook.
One after another, imaginative designs appeared before his eyes.
For the first time, He Yuan sensed the true measure of genius.
He felt that Yingxing was fully capable of joining the genius club, if we only consider the aspect of craftsmanship.
He exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Brother Yingxing, you are amazing!"
He is completely different from that "genius" who got there entirely through sheer hard work.
But He Yuan wasn't bothered at all. Even if it was liver, in the real world, it was just hard work, right?
He tried his best.
I really hope I can make friends and lovers like Ying Xing in real life. We would definitely have a lot in common.
He Yuan suddenly understood why this game was called a life simulator.
It feels like a completely different life that the game gives players, a life that is entirely in their own hands.
“I like you so much, Yingxing-ge,” Heyuan said.
He genuinely loved the character before him.
Yingxing was already used to Heyuan's occasional "confessions" and responded, "I like Ayuan very much too."
After the renovations next door were completed and everything arrived, He Yuan ate the rice bowl that Ying Xing had prepared in advance, watching the man bustling about.
He wanted to help, but Yingxing said that sitting quietly was the best way to help.
Well, Yingxing also does this kind of thing at home, and Heyuan has completely developed the habit of calling everything "Yingxing".
At first, He Yuan tried to help, but Ying Xing would pick her up with one hand and put her on the sofa, then give her a plate of fruit and turn on the TV.
And that was the end of it.
He Yuan asked why.
Ying Xing: "My father always came to my house, and when I lived alone before, I was used to taking care of everything by myself."
His words contained nostalgia, but less of the pain.
People who have lost their homes always cherish their families all the more when they rebuild them.
He Yuan had no experience living with her parents, so she listened to Ying Xing's words.
Dinner was eaten at a night market outside.
Having finally made it to Zhuming, I naturally wanted to wander around and try some local delicacies.
Luofu Fairy Boat is a commercial vessel, and many Zhu Ming merchants have opened shops in Luofu. He Yuan has tried some of the dishes, but they are not as varied as those available locally.
He even followed local customs and dragged Ying Xing along to wear clothes in the Ming Dynasty style.
But Yingxing seemed rather shy, so in the end Heyuan went out in casual clothes.
Zhu Ming opened a night market called Shazhou Yue, which was packed with people. He Yuan was finally carried inside by Ying Xing.
The entrance was crowded, but the space inside became more open.
Most of the people on Zhu Mingxianzhou were craftsmen who consumed a lot of energy on a daily basis. They liked to eat meat that was high in oil and salt, which helped them replenish their energy.
He Yuan seemed to enjoy the food quite well.
He and Jingyuan had once gone to a restaurant run by Zhu Mingfeng, where the roasted lamb leg was delicious and he couldn't forget it.
This time, he also ate with Yingxing.
Yingxing helped him remove the meat the whole time, and Heyuan's beak never stopped.
But he couldn't just stand by and watch Yingxing not eat anything, so he also fed him.
They ate a lot more together afterward, until their bellies were bulging and they were hanging on Yingxing, feeling their lower abdomen sinking as they walked.
…………………………
This uncomfortable feeling of being too full reminds me of some bad experiences.
He Yuan didn't really like this feeling, but it was okay, it was only the first time with the three of them that she felt this way.
Later, they discovered that the cranes and kites would feel uncomfortable from being stretched, so they always cleaned them up promptly.
But the feeling of being too full still gave him a bad feeling.
He Yuan was half-carried and half-embraced by Ying Xing and taken home. Ying Xing brewed a pot of hawthorn water and coaxed him to drink it. Then Ying Xing helped his lazy lover, who was too lazy to move, take a bath and wash his hair.
I'm going to see Huaiyan tomorrow, and I need to help him apply skincare products and essential oils.
It's a blissful torment.
Every touch of the fingers on every inch of skin is a challenge for the star.
The skin on her hands was as smooth and delicate as mutton fat jade, and the essential oil she applied carried a faint rose fragrance. The wet red liquid meandered down her back, creating an indescribable allure.
Even though she had done it for He Yuan many times, Ying Xing still found it difficult to control herself.
His hand paused, and he leaned close to the young man's ear, "Ah Yuan, I..."
Before she could finish speaking, He Yuan skillfully rolled over and wrapped her arms around Ying Xing's neck. "If Brother Ying Xing wants it, then let's do it?"
Long, slender legs wrapped around the man's waist. "I secretly brought ten sets, so tear them up sparingly... Also, you're meeting someone tomorrow, so don't stay out too late."
Yingxing practically dragged him to the suitcase, opened it, and saw ten sets of sexy pajamas and various colored stockings neatly arranged.
When Yingxing was packing her luggage, she only thought about comfort and didn't bring these things. After Heyuan checked, she secretly stuffed some of them in.
He knew Yingxing wouldn't be able to resist.
Yingxing picked out a red one.
Wearing a dress that barely covers three points, with a slit that goes all the way up to the navel, a hollow back, and a front that reaches the upper thigh, while the bottom has a long train, it's completely decorative.
The black fishnet stockings, combined with the striking contrast between the young man's skin tone and his complexion, made him impossible to look away from.
…………………………
He Yuan said with some dissatisfaction, "It's a bit slow today."
"I have something to do tomorrow, so let's not be too intense."
He was the one who said not to go too far tonight, but now he thinks Yingxing is too slow.
This is an extremely difficult cat to care for.
……………………
This haul: three pairs of stockings (two of which I picked out and put on later), a ready-to-eat pajama set, and a bottle of essential oil that I don't know where it went.
He Yuan shook the empty bottle and looked at the man kneeling by the bed tidying up.
"Brother Yingxing, you..."
When did you develop this hobby?
Even though the essential oil label says it's edible and harmless, it's not like you should bite and lick it after applying it, or suck on it like a jelly.
Ying Xing remained silent, only saying, "I've already placed an order for a new one."
He Yuan opened the Jade Sign and saw that she had bought ten bottles of each of the different flavors.
...No, he can't possibly use that much, can he?
He Yuan kicked his back, "Are you going to do this again next time?!"
He glanced down at the spot where the medicine had been applied, then kicked it again. "Don't do that again next time!"
Yingxing grabbed his feet, pulled the blanket over him, and skipped the topic.
He Yuan knew he still wanted to, but this kind of thing couldn't happen every day, otherwise, would he even need to wear clothes?!
However, Yingxing's eyes... looked a little too pitiful.
To be honest, Yingxing's actions were all just right. Heyuan never felt uncomfortable or overly indulgent; everything was just perfect.
Even with something this slightly excessive, He Yuan didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
He glanced at the photo frame, paused, and said, "Yes, that's fine, but not too often."
Yingxing kissed his forehead. "I won't make you feel bad."
When it was bitten in that spot, the crane cried out the softest.
"...I know, but the clothes are uncomfortable!"
Yingxing reassured him, "The ointment works very well, it won't."
He paused, then added, "At worst, there are breast pads."
He Yuan punched him lightly, "Try wearing one yourself!"
Ying Xing nodded, "Okay, I'll wear it with you."
“…No, that’s not necessary.” He Yuan lowered her head and pinched his leg, only to find that she could only pinch him and it was useless.
He thought for a moment and said, "Once a week at most from now on."
He should have refused.
But anything imbued with emotion flows with life.
Yingxing, whom he "loves," becomes increasingly vivid in He Yuan's eyes, like a true friend and partner.
He Yuan grabbed the man's sleeve, "Hurry up and get ready, I want to sleep with you."
Ying Xing smiled and said "Okay".
I actually fell asleep around 11 o'clock.
Crane Kite, resting its head on the warm chest muscles, slept soundly as usual.
The bed was indeed cramped, but the two of them didn't need much space anyway, so they always slept close together, intertwined.
The proposal reduced the distance between them to a mere thin layer, with only one final step needed to pierce it.
...
In the early morning, He Yuan took out the clothes she had prepared and dressed herself. In the small space, she used the mirror that Ying Xing had just bought yesterday to adjust the position of her jewelry.
He felt inexplicably nervous.
The last time I was nervous was before I went on stage to speak.
"Is my outfit okay?" He Yuan asked, pulling Ying Xing aside.
Will he wear too many accessories, making him seem too extravagant and wasteful?
Yingxing glanced at it and shook his head.
"Too few."
The appearance of the Zhu Ming Xianzhou (a type of boat) reveals that the people here prefer an opulent and extravagant style.
The crane and the kite weren't wearing enough.
Yingxing picked out a gold waist chain with a hollowed-out butterfly hanging in the middle from the jewelry box she had brought, took out a sapphire brooch, and a pair of silk-wrapped earrings.
Bring them all.
She's practically a glamorous and elegant vase.
He Yuan hesitated: "Isn't that too much?"
Yingxing opened the jade tablet and showed it to Zhu Mingren in his everyday attire.
Many Ming dynasty people wore much more exaggerated versions than this.
and……
"These are all my skills. My master would be happy to see them."
Zhu Mingdu is a craftsman who makes various kinds of handicrafts. For those he likes, the best way to show his appreciation is to make something by hand for them to wear.
Master Huaiyan and his fellow disciples would be overjoyed to see that He Yuan was covered in his handiwork.
This shows they have a good relationship!
He Yuan thought for a moment and then took out a crooked knot.
He said sheepishly, "I'm not very skilled yet, you..."
You're not allowed to complain!
Ying Xing held the piece in both hands as if it were a precious treasure, hanging it around his waist. "It's amazing that a novice could produce something like this. I've received a piece from Future Baiye, how could I possibly look down on it?"
She's so eloquent; she made He Yuan blush.
He truly hadn't expected Ying Xing to be so good at praising people.
Although players are used to being praised, this kind of praise from someone they consider their lover feels very different to them.
He Yuan was flattered by him and then took out a bright red earring.
"Can I have this instead?"
The young man looked at Yingxing expectantly.
Yingxing is certainly an option.
He lowered his head and watched as He Yuan awkwardly removed his original earrings and replaced them with new ones.
Soft fingertips gently brushed across the earlobe, and the fragrance of excessive essential oils lingered around the tip of the nose.
Every piece of clothing and jewelry worn by He Yuan bears his mark.
This made him extremely satisfied.
After changing clothes for an hour, He Yuan was glad that they had gone to bed early and gotten up early, otherwise they would probably be late by now.
For breakfast, they ate noodles with minced meat from a nearby stall. He Yuan couldn't handle anything too spicy, so she only ate a bite or two before handing it over to Ying Xing to finish. She gulped down the milk tea that Ying Xing had bought for her and also ate three preserved vegetable and pork buns.
I used up a lot of energy last night, so it's understandable that I ate a high-fat, high-sugar meal today!
Yingxing gestured to his size, "Eat as much as you like."
She still looks rather thin.
Even though Yingxing knew that there was a thin layer of muscle covering it, she still kept nagging that Heyuan should get a little fatter.
Upon hearing this, He Yuan ate another serving of xiaolongbao.
"I really can't eat anymore this time."
Yingxing naturally touched his stomach, and nodded only after confirming that he was full.
After He Yuan and Ying Xing separated for a day or two and found that the food in the refrigerator hadn't been touched, Ying Xing started checking up on her constantly.
While others investigate mistresses, he investigates whether He Yuan has eaten on time.
Crane and Kite also found themselves enjoying rare healthy meals and routines within the game.
There was still half a cup of milk tea left; it would be inappropriate to bring it to see General Huaiyan.
He Yuan handed the kite to Ying Xing, and then tidied herself up one last time in front of the mirror.
"Am I really okay?"
Like a cat pacing anxiously, then jumping into its owner's lap to rub against its owner.
Yingxing grasped his hand. "With me here, there won't be any problems."
"I prepared everything, so even if something goes wrong, it's all my fault."
“…That’s not how it’s calculated!” He Yuan immediately retorted, “How can it all be yours?”
“You are General Huaiyan’s favorite disciple. If he disagrees, it will definitely be directed at me…”
“Master will agree,” Ying Xing said decisively. “Master is very satisfied with you, as are my fellow disciples with whom I have a good relationship.”
"Let's just treat it as going out for a meal."
"Moreover, they will definitely be able to sense the sentiment when the wedding candies are made by hand."
He Yuan gripped his hand tightly and took a deep breath.
How embarrassing!
I got nervous meeting my parents in a game!
He couldn't help but grab Yingxing's hand on the way and secretly open the forum.
After I posted that ridiculous multiplayer ending last time, a bunch of people on the forum seemed to have suddenly figured it out and successfully achieved a happy ending in many failed multiplayer endings.
He Yuan looked over at each of them, experiencing the joy of shipping couples.
It eased the tension a little.
He looked at Ying Xing, and when he caught a glimpse of the man's slightly tense chin, he quietly leaned closer.
"Brother Yingxing, are you nervous too?" Heyuan asked curiously.
Shouldn't he feel like he's coming home?
