Can I Try You for Two Days

The two chatted while Kelly quickly walked over with the coffee.

She bent down to place two cups of coffee and two glasses of water on the table. "Good-looking folks, before you drink, I recommend you take a sip of water first—that way you can really appreciate the flavor of these beans."

"Alright, alright, we'll take our time savoring it. You go ahead and get back to what you were doing."

Kelly gave a small smile, turned around, and headed back to her friends.

"This is actually my first time properly sitting down at a coffee shop in Magic City, and I didn't expect it to be this unique," Su Yang said with a laugh.

"Ha, I'm used to it by now."

"Whatever, since we're here, let's sit for a while. I'll try out their signature beans."

Su Yang picked up his coffee and took a small sip. "Mm, not bad."

"The service at this place isn't great, but the coffee is genuinely pretty good," Han So-yeon added.

"Any plans for later?" Han So-yeon took a sip of coffee and looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang shook his head. "No. If I hadn't run into you, I'd probably just wander around a bit and then find a hotel to crash at."

"Then... after we finish our coffee, how about I treat you to dinner?"

"Sounds good, I won't hold back," Su Yang said with a grin.

"I wasn't being polite either—I meant it."

"Alright. How about this: we just made twenty thousand yuan, so neither of us needs to treat the other. Let's just use that money for dinner."

"But that money came from the challenge you completed—it's yours. I want to spend my own money to treat you."

"There's no need to be so strict about it. You're the one who told me to take the challenge. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have that twenty thousand. So half of it is naturally yours. We'll use your half for dinner—that counts as you treating me, right?"

Hearing this, Han So-yeon smiled. "Alright."

The two sat facing each other on the sofa, leaning back and gazing out at the bustling street.

It was 3:30 in the afternoon. The sunlight streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows cast a warm glow inside the coffee shop, and the quiet atmosphere gave off a lazy, relaxing vibe.

This time of day was also the easiest to feel drowsy. Listening to the soothing music made it even harder to stay awake.

Han So-yeon propped her head on the table as her eyelids involuntarily began to close. Her head dipped down and snapped right back up.

Su Yang laughed at the sight. "If you're sleepy, just take a nap. It's still early anyway."

"But if I sleep, I'd be leaving you hanging."

"No worries. Isn't the point of coming to a coffee shop to relax? You don't need to worry about what anyone else thinks. Just do whatever feels comfortable."

[Ding, detected Han So-yeon's affection toward host increased to: 60, reward 5 million]

Han So-yeon stared at Su Yang with a soft smile. "Su Yang, we haven't known each other long, but being with you always feels especially comfortable and relaxing."

"Really?"

"Mm-hmm, truly."

"Ha, as long as I'm not making you feel awkward or uncomfortable."

"Not at all."

"Then lean back and rest a bit. I'll wake you when it's time."

"Okay." Han So-yeon leaned back on the sofa to take a nap.

Su Yang downed his coffee in one gulp, then pulled out his phone and scrolled through some travel videos about Europe.

The system task only said to spend seven days in Europe, without any specific details. So it would be complete freeform—go wherever the wind took him.

His first stop was set for Paris, the romantic capital of the world, and then depending on how things went, he might head to Monaco, the second-smallest country in the world, completely surrounded by France.

He had always been curious about that place. The entire country only covers two square kilometers—about the size of three Forbidden Cities in the capital. The longest distance from east to west is a mere 3.3 kilometers, roughly the length of a large airport runway.

It was truly tiny. But despite its size, this country had the highest GDP per capita in the world.

Luxury cars lined the streets, and the residents were all incredibly wealthy. The nightlife in a place like this definitely had a unique charm, and beautiful women were naturally abundant. Just thinking about it made Su Yang want to book a flight right away.

After scrolling through his phone for a while, the sky outside gradually started to fill with dark clouds.

"Damn, is it about to rain again?"

In the nearby riverside square, tourists were quickly scattering, sensing the imminent downpour.

Rumble—

A clap of thunder exploded within the clouds, startling Han So-yeon awake from her nap.

She sat up abruptly and looked at Su Yang. "What happened?"

"Nothing. Looks like it's going to rain."

Han So-yeon turned to look outside. Before she fell asleep, the sky had been clear, and now it was all dark clouds.

"This weather changed so suddenly. How long did I sleep?"

"About half an hour."

"That's not too long." Han So-yeon let out a breath, picked up her coffee, and took a sip. "Should we get going?"

"It's only four right now. Dinner's still too early. Let's sit a bit longer."

"I'm just worried that if it rains, we won't be able to leave."

"No worries. I checked the forecast—it's just a passing shower. Even if it rains, it shouldn't last long."

"Alright."

"Would you like anything else to drink?" Su Yang asked.

Han So-yeon shook her head. "No, I haven't even finished this cup yet."

"Okay, I'll order another one. Waiter!" Su Yang turned around and called out.

Hearing the call, Kelly rolled her eyes and shot Su Yang an exasperated look. "Bro! I've told you before—please call me Kelly or the owner."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, it's just a habit. Could I get another cup of coffee, please?"

Kelly walked over and asked, "What would you like?"

"That hand-pour I had earlier."

"Got it."

Kelly turned and headed toward the bar.

Rumble—

Another crack of thunder boomed, and the rain began to fall.

People still on the street immediately broke into a run.

Kelly quickly finished brewing the coffee and brought it over, setting it down by Su Yang's side. "Here's your coffee, sir. Enjoy."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome." Kelly threw out a line of English before turning and swaggering away.

Su Yang chuckled, picked up his coffee, and took a sip.

The rain grew heavier, and in no time the streets were completely empty, save for the cars still passing through.

Sitting in a coffee shop on a rainy day with a cup of coffee—the feeling was genuinely nice. A blend of laziness and contentment.

"What do you feel like eating later?" Su Yang asked, looking at Han So-yeon.

"I suddenly have a craving for Mountain City hotpot. For some reason, whenever it rains, I want something with strong, heavy flavors."

"Sounds good. It's been a while for me too. Let's head out at 5:30, when the rain should be just about done."

"Great!"

Han So-yeon replied and then held her cup as she looked at Su Yang. "I don't think I've ever actually had dinner alone with a guy before. Oh, and this is also my first time having coffee with one."

Hearing this, Su Yang laughed. "Really? Never even been in a relationship?"

Han So-yeon shook her head. "Not so far, no."

"No way, really?"

"Really, I'm not lying."

"That's surprising. With how pretty you are, there must have been plenty of guys chasing you in school, right?"

Han So-yeon smiled sweetly. "Well, there are a few, but honestly, I don't really like any of them. I mainly feel that most of the guys at school aren't mature enough. Personally, I prefer someone who's mature and has a good sense of humor."

"Is that so? That kind of person isn't easy to come by, you know."

"You're one yourself, aren't you?" Han So-yeon leaned forward slightly and looked at Su Yang with a smile.

Hearing this, Su Yang shook his head. "No way, I've got nothing to do with mature."

"From where I stand, you're pretty mature. You're calm and unhurried in what you do, you carry yourself with grace around others, and you can be a little funny at times. Anyway, whether you admit it or not, that's how I see it. Oh, by the way, have you ever been in a relationship?" Han So-yeon asked curiously.

Su Yang smiled. "Yeah, I had one back in college."

"Are you two still together now?"

"Broke up a long time ago."

Hearing that, Han So-yeon looked up at the ceiling, thought for a moment, then said, "There's something I want to ask, but I'm not sure how to put it."

"What is it? Just say it. We're chatting, no big deal."

"Hmm... It's just, what does it actually feel like when you're in a relationship?"

"This..." Su Yang rubbed his brow. "Haven't you watched any romance movies?"

"I have, and quite a few actually. Don't get me wrong — it's not like I don't understand the concept. I just haven't been in one myself, so I don't really get that feeling of two people connecting with each other during a relationship."

Su Yang thought for a moment. "Oh, I think I get what you mean. Let me tell you what it feels like for most people."

"For example, in the early stages, before you two have officially confirmed the relationship, being with someone you like feels easy, and it also feels exciting. Every time you meet, your heart can't help but race, and no matter what you're doing, you just want to be with that person."

"When you get home, that person is all you can think about, and you can't stop looking forward to the next time you see them. The moment you see them, you smile without even realizing it."

"Something like that... is how it feels."

"Really?" Han So-yeon said, looking thoughtful.

"Yeah... It's something a bit elusive and hard to pin down. Everyone has their own feelings and understanding of it when they're in love. You'll know once you've been in a relationship yourself."

After Su Yang finished speaking, Han So-yeon pressed her lips together and was silent for a couple of seconds.

Then she looked at Su Yang with a smile and said, "Well then... Su Yang, can I try being in a relationship with you for two days?"
