Upon hearing this, Yun Wei hesitated for a moment, "But..."
Is it really okay to just abandon the mechanical puppet that the old craftsman gave you and go on a date without a care in the world?
A sense of guilt inexplicably arose in his heart.
Just then, he suddenly realized that Isaac was holding his big hand with some force.
He looked up and saw Isaac looking at him intently, with an understanding smile on the other's face.
That smile was gentle and bright, like the sun, as if it saw through everything, yet it made Yun Wei feel somewhat ashamed.
The two looked at each other in silence.
In the end, it was the tall servant who spoke first, breaking the frozen silence.
Isaac asked, "If we rush down to the basement now, will we be able to figure something out?"
Yun Wei thought for a moment and could only honestly answer, "It's not certain."
The other party then asked, "Time is frozen inside spatial artifacts. Will the clues stored inside just grow legs and slip away on their own?"
Yun Wei pursed her lips and replied, "...No."
He knew Isaac was trying to calm him down, but he was still somewhat uneasy.
He has never been the type to clear his mind.
I can't pick it up, and I can't put it down.
The result is that negative emotions accumulate, causing one to be constantly consumed by internal conflict.
Seemingly sensing his unease, the knight unleashed his trump card without hesitation: "Then, one last question, esteemed Mr. Yun Wei, would you be willing to go on a date with me?"
This is such a ridiculous question. Yun Wei looked into Isaac's eyes and found it hard to say he didn't want to against his will.
Of course he would!
Who can resist the temptation of going on a date with their sweetheart?
Especially since this was their first date after being together for so long, and Shan Shan was late!
Seemingly aware that there was no one else around, Isaac adopted a rare air of roguishness.
He roughly ruffled his hair, creating a messy yet wild look, then smirked wickedly and seductively asked Yun Wei, "Just tell me, do you want it or not?"
A youthful and vibrant energy emanates from the air, unrestrained yet sincere and passionate.
So cool!
This time, her boyfriend arrogantly pushed the "cool" part of "cool and stylish" to its extreme without warning.
As if a weakness in his nerves had been directly struck, Yun Wei was defeated in an instant by the other party's extremely aggressive gaze.
He bit his lower lip, looked away, and finally murmured, "Yes."
The black-haired youth's voice was barely audible, as if the very act of honestly expressing his true thoughts was itself tainted with an unforgivable sin.
But Isaac was unwilling to let Yunwei off the hook.
He glanced lazily at Yun Wei, then raised his chin and said with utter tactlessness, "What did you just say, you beautiful and intelligent young man? I didn't hear you! Speak louder!"
This was a version of Isaac that Yun Wei had never seen before.
He thought that this might be the most authentic Isaac before the War of Glory broke out.
He was neither a knight, nor a swordsman, nor the crown prince of the Second Dynasty—
Instead, it was Isaac, the problem student who loved to skip classes, always slept, and was only in his early twenties.
But no matter what, the other party still deeply loved Isaac.
The other person's unrestrained, flamboyant, and unrestrained feeling was so clear and intense that it made his dull heart feel young again.
Yun Wei repeated with boundless tolerance, "I think so."
“I want to go on a date with you, Isaac.”
This time, he spoke with exceptional clarity, his expression serious and earnest.
He thought, "This time, I'll listen to Isaac."
First, focus wholeheartedly on the date, then come back and discuss how to solve the problem together.
He's not a member of the Liujin family, so he needs rest too.
Thinking of this, Yun Wei's gaze gradually hardened.
The weight on my heart seemed to have shrunk a little.
“That’s right, Yun. Even if the entire continent of Zhuyuan is about to explode, you’ll still have me by your side right now.” Isaac finally dropped his fleeting roguishness and smiled warmly: “Don’t think so much, your own happiness is the most important thing.”
Yun Wei: "..."
We're doomed.
He felt like Isaac was about to make him cry again.
Although the other party's last sentence was simple and unadorned, and extremely cliché, he himself often used it to mentally prepare himself.
But when it comes from someone else's mouth, it's always different.
Moreover, the other person was none other than his lover, his partner, the person he had decided to spend his life with.
To avoid the untimely flare-up of his nasal congestion, Yun Wei chuckled and looked away, but said mockingly, "With you by my side? You're really shameless, thinking you're some hot commodity!"
The handsome knight smiled reservedly, but took the first step and walked out.
“It’s not that I’m narcissistic, but eight hundred years ago, I really was, as you say, a…uncle?” The knight who turned to look at Yun Wei frowned and asked in confusion, “Yun, what does this mean? Am I really that young?”
Yun Wei couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course, you're already eight hundred and twenty years old."
"Hey! You're ninety years old now." Isaac turned his head away, feigning anger, but his fingers, hidden in his pocket, tightened. "I don't care, it's too late for you to regret it now."
Even when walking ahead, the adorable knight would always cautiously observe his master's expression out of the corner of his eye, and would even deliberately slow down his pace.
Although in Yun Wei's eyes, the other party seemed inexplicably childish.
He's also inexplicably cool and handsome.
Even as he hurriedly tried to keep up with the other person, his heart pounded like a drum, and he was restless and uneasy.
...
They walked from the sparsely populated streets, through the bustling main thoroughfare, and finally arrived at the crowded East Square.
Even though it was already afternoon, the "market day" was bustling and prosperous like never before.
The wooden crates that would normally be a headache to look at were casually piled up and became an eye-catching stage, where many villagers who had returned with their bounties stood singing and dancing, reveling freely.
Even if their voices were off-key and their dance moves were clumsy, their simple joy was still enough to touch people's hearts.
Simple joy spreads out like invisible ripples.
The entire Alchemy City seemed to come alive suddenly.
Yun Wei then realized that so many vibrant and lively lives actually lived in this usually lifeless city.
"Stay close to me, don't get separated."
Isaac's worried words echoed in my ears.
Yun Wei quietly squeezed the other person's strong, broad hand to reassure them.
At this moment, they were no longer high-ranking nobles, nor exceptionally talented professionals, but just an ordinary couple, quietly enjoying their own happiness amidst the noisy crowd.
...
In the dazzling array of stalls, they saw many exceptionally fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as meats placed on ice plates.
Isaac always seems to have a particular fondness for ingredients.
But Yun Wei discovered that the other party basically didn't haggle at all when dealing with those simple villagers.
This made him wonder if Isaac had actually managed to get a discount when buying the crystal core that day.
He was lost in thought when Isaac leaned closer and asked, "So, is there anything else you want? I'll buy it for you!"
The other person's voice was unusually loud, seemingly because the surroundings were too noisy.
Yun Wei smiled and shook his head; he didn't want anything anymore.
He had just bought enough ores and herbs, so he had made a good haul.
Seeing that he was truly satisfied, Isaac suddenly suggested, "Then I'll take you somewhere!"
Even though his face was pale, his bright and handsome eyes were still captivating.
At that moment, the surrounding crowd was cheering enthusiastically for the young men and women on stage.
But Yunwei suddenly felt that Isaac was his whole world.
