Chapter 7 Common Route (07) "Brother Yingxing wants to teach me how to date..."
The fleeting warmth left a mark on my cheek, and ripples spread across the calm lake surface.
Yingxing took two steps back, trying to withdraw his hand.
He Yuan stepped forward, her fingers clenched tightly, and held Ying Xing firmly.
"Between lovers, holding hands, hugging, kissing... Did I do something wrong?"
The young man took out the jade tablet and handed the collected postcards to Yingxing, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Ying Xing pursed her lips, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy, and clicked on the post to check it out.
What should couples do on a date? What can they do on a regular date?
[Holding hands, hugging, and kissing are the usual three things, so I won't go into detail. If you've just started dating, I suggest avoiding French kissing; a light kiss is enough.]
[...]
"If that person came today, would you kiss him?"
Ying Xing suppressed his anger.
If he hadn't agreed to come last night, would He Yuan have done these things with that person?
How could this be... how could this be...
Why did He Yuan do this?
"Won't."
He Yuan honestly said, "I did it because Ying Xing is the one standing here."
“Besides, according to our agreement, we are now lovers,” he looked up at Yingxing, “so why can’t we be lovers?”
Ying Xing said with a stern face, "No matter who you choose as your lover today?"
If it's a choice of three—
He Yuan shook her head. "I don't know."
He grabbed Yingxing's other hand and placed it on his chest.
"But I could feel that when I kissed Yingxing, my heart seemed to explode."
He moved closer, a smile on his face, as if he had discovered something new and interesting.
"Also, it jumps really fast."
Yingxing tried to pull her hand away as if it were burning hot, but Heyuan held it firmly.
"Brother Yingxing, my heart has never been beating so fast."
His back was pressed against the wall, nose to nose, and the aura of youth enveloped him, eroding his fragile exterior.
"Crane and kite..."
Ying Xing lowered his voice, which was hoarse, "Please don't move. Let me say a few words."
He Yuan obediently stopped, only nuzzling Ying Xing's cheek with the tip of her nose, her eyes fixed intently on him.
"A racing heart is a normal phenomenon. You may just find this thing... novel and interesting, and feel excited, which causes your heart to beat faster."
Ying Xing tried to explain, but the softness in his hands, the filling between his fingers, and the face before him seemed to be attacking his reason, forcing him to naturally succumb to temptation.
This is incorrect.
The difference between short-lived and long-lived species is like an insurmountable chasm.
Unlike the gap between one's own skills and those of others, which can be bridged and caught up with through talent and hard work.
Time cannot be retrieved.
He Yuan had never been in a relationship before; she was just curious about it, and it just so happened that this time it was her turn...
It was all a coincidence, a fleeting moment of novelty and impulsiveness on the part of young people.
When the waves of passion recede, everything will return to its original state.
It could also be worse than it was originally.
After hearing his explanation, He Yuan nodded as if she understood, and then gently tapped Ying Xing's cheek.
"Then why would I still want to kiss you, Brother Yingxing?"
Ying Xing turned her head to the side and cleared her throat. "Let go first, and I'll explain it to you slowly."
"No." He Yuan was exceptionally stubborn, her clear eyes fixed on Ying Xing. "I think Brother Ying Xing is wrong."
"Shall we try one more time?"
Try again—
He Yuan nodded again and shook her head. "Brother Yingxing, my heart isn't racing because this is something new and interesting. There must be another reason."
three times!
Yingxing was kissed three times!
Even if it's just a light touch on the cheek each time, that's enough to cross the line and be intimate.
He was so frightened by He Yuan's audacious actions that he was speechless, and an uncontrollable evil thought welled up in his heart.
Life is so short, so could he... be a little reckless just this once?
Can't.
Yingxing rejected the idea almost immediately after it came to him.
He cannot take advantage of someone's misfortune.
What does He Yuan know?
He has absolutely no idea what he's doing!
“He Yuan!” Ying Xing shouted, “You have never done this before, nor have you ever had such close contact with me or anyone else, which is why you feel this way.”
He gently guided her, "Look, when you sleep with Jingyuan now, do you not feel this way?"
"When you do something for the first time, it feels fresh and new."
Crane Kite paused, then nodded thoughtfully.
He said slowly, "It seems so."
Ying Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then, Brother Yingxing, why is your heart beating so fast too?"
He Yuan lightly tapped his cheek with her finger. "Also, your face is so red."
His clear eyes, like water, reflected Yingxing's current appearance.
For the first time, the usually silent craftsman was flustered, embarrassed, and secretly moved.
It would be strange if you didn't blush.
Ying Xing only said, "Because it's my first time too."
He came to the Immortal Ship only to learn skills for revenge, and had no interest in matters of the heart.
Upon discovering that she loved an immortal being, she immediately condemned the relationship, burying it deep within her forever.
Yingxing had no delusions and never expected that the bright moon hanging high in the sky would see him.
In his opinion, the best outcome for this relationship is to never express it aloud.
It will be a burden on the crane and kite.
“It’s our first time…it’s our first time,” He Yuan murmured, “so our hearts are racing.”
He touched his cheek with the back of his hand, his moist eyes looking at Ying Xing, "Then, Brother Ying Xing, is my face also very red?"
He stared blankly at the lingering warmth on the back of his hand, "...It's so hot."
Yingxing's throat seemed to be dry from the heat, and he could only utter a few interjections.
He Yuan touched his cheek with the back of her hand again and said in surprise, "Brother Yingxing is so hot too!"
Yingxing felt they couldn't stay so close together.
If this continues, he will lose control of his body's instincts.
The cranes and kites were very close together.
The young man stood on tiptoe, his narrow hip bones barely touching Yingxing's body, leaving only a finger's width of space between them.
The slightest disturbance would be noticed by the other person.
"Xiao Yuan, shall we find a place to study this properly and do a thorough review?"
He tilted his head slightly to avoid He Yuan's touch.
His face was flushed, but his eyes were clear.
He Yuan knew she couldn't push people too hard, so she obediently agreed on the surface, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ying Xing.
"Is Brother Yingxing going to teach me how to date?"
Ying Xing choked, her eyes darting away.
"I...I don't know anything about this either, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
He really doesn't understand.
With no hope for romance, Yingxing stopped researching such matters and remained detached from worldly desires, having no interest in these things.
...Doesn't that mean she's still a virgin?
He Yuan's thoughts drifted slightly.
Oh right, in this game, all the NPCs who are even slightly attractive are virgins.
After all, the world is vast, but the players are the most important.
He Yuan squeezed Ying Xing's hand, "It's alright, Brother Ying Xing, let's study together!"
He had an expression that said he was about to conduct some major research.
Ying Xing calmed his racing heart and gave a helpless "hmm".
He thought he should first tell He Yuan not to do such inappropriate things when interacting with people.
If it weren't him standing here...
Even knowing that no one could force He Yuan, Ying Xing was still a little worried.
What if someone deceives He Yuan?
If it weren't for me here today, that person would have done many disgusting things following He Yuan's words.
Yingxing could not accept it.
So he nodded vigorously again, "I will try my best."
He Yuan chuckled, "Brother Yingxing, you're so cute."
He placed his hand on his chest. "My heart just beat again because of you."
Yingxing was struck again.
His heart was also excited by He Yuan's smile, and there seemed to be a trace of the young man's warm lip print on his cheek.
I used to be able to stay calm only because I was always with friends when we met, and there was nothing that went beyond friendship.
But now—
He Yuan was alone with him.
He Yuan held his hand, their fingers intertwined.
He Yuan kissed him, still openly expressing all her feelings.
Yingxing was dizzy and completely unable to resist. He could only let Heyuan lead him by the hand to a coffee shop, where they sat down before she let go of him.
The air conditioning made him a little more awake.
"Huh... do they have a couples' set meal today?"
The young man across from him exclaimed in surprise and immediately said, "I'd like a couple's set meal, one latte without sugar and one with regular sugar!"
It was a resounding statement.
Before Yingxing could react, Heyuan had already ordered and paid with the jade tablet.
It was swiped using a credit card.
Ying Xing hesitated for a moment, but her concern for He Yuan losing her source of income prevailed.
He Yuan simply doesn't understand; he can try to explain it to her slowly.
He Yuan's parents are really something... leaving such a young child at home, and not even coming back to see him when he's an adult. At least they could teach him some basic knowledge!
And there's the fairy boat...
Didn't the Immortal Boat offer various introductory courses? Why wouldn't He Yuan know about them?
Did they skip too many grades and thus miss out on learning?
Never mind, the important thing is now.
Now, Ying Xing needs to make He Yuan understand what she can't do casually, and she also needs to find a reason to give the other party some credit points.
"Heyuan, I've got a lot of orders lately, and I need an assistant. Would you... be willing to come?"
[Long-term commission [Construction Company Assistant] has been unlocked]
Completing this commission will randomly grant corresponding professional experience and a generous amount of credits.
"If Brother Yingxing needs my help, how could I not come?" Seeing that he had professional experience, He Yuan agreed without even blinking.
And you also get credit points!
Ying Xing added, "I'll give you a 10% commission for each order you complete. You just need to process the tools and materials for me."
He hadn't even mentioned how much the payment would be, and He Yuan had already agreed.
Ying Xing felt he couldn't treat the other party unfairly, so he said, "I have many handy weapons over there. If you want them, feel free to take them."
He Yuan glanced at her backpack and shook her head. "No need, Brother Yingxing. I already have plenty of weapons."
After doing the math and figuring out that a 10% return would bring in several million, He Yuan suddenly felt that those weapons weren't so appealing anymore.
So what if you have a lot of weapons? You only have two equipment slots.
It's better to use more credit points.
"You're going to participate in the Starry Sky Martial Arts Competition, do you have any suitable protective gear? How about I make a set for you?" When talking about his area of expertise, Ying Xing's eyes were full of confidence and arrogance, and he spoke of everything with ease.
"I'll give you that longsword, forged from the claws and teeth of Hu Lei, along with it."
"May you shine brightly."
He Yuan raised her eyebrows, "Then Brother Yingxing can just wait until the orders are so plentiful they won't even have time to touch the ground."
Ying Xing just smiled and said, "I don't accept orders below seven figures."
He doesn't care about credits, but sometimes when new materials come out, he has to use his savings to buy some.
Although he had become a master craftsman, the Bureau of Works refused to let him take charge of the Bureau, citing his short-lived nature. The materials that were sent were complete, but of poor quality.
However, Yingxing didn't care.
He encountered He Yuan the moment he stepped aboard the Luofu Immortal Ship and before he had even earned the title of Master of Hundred Metals.
Unlike the subtle disdain that others subtly displayed, He Yuan's gaze towards him was... very pure.
Cleanliness is only for appreciation.
He Yuan said that Ying Xing was the most skilled craftsman he had ever met.
He Yuan said he felt Ying Xing would definitely win the competition.
He Yuan said that when he went to the battlefield, he would definitely take the weapon forged by Ying Xing and cut off the head of Bu Liren's father.
Use this as the blade to sharpen the edge.
The excitement and trepidation I felt upon hearing those words, though separated by the river of time, once again struck the fragile eggshell.
Before meeting He Yuan, Ying Xing's life was filled with forging.
After meeting him, the words "crane and kite" appeared in his schedule.
Later, I made my current friends.
No one else's words or actions are worthy of entering his life.
He doesn't need it.
