The dream world is a reflection of one's inner self.
It seems that in Shen Buyao's heart, she has cast herself as the "Zixia Fairy"—
Waiting for her destined true love to pull out the "Purple-Green Sword" from her grasp.
Until then,
She has been enduring the lonely wait all by herself...
For someone like Chi Qingshui, who doesn’t dare reveal herself, a gentle approach is necessary.
But for Shen Buyao, who’s already self-convinced to the point of cultivation, the strategy must be different.
Let’s see just how bold she can be in this dream world!
Lin Yu looked at the phone in his hand, ready to take a photo, and calmly said:
"Buyao, I didn’t bring you here just to take pictures… but to record something."
Shen Buyao’s eyes widened instantly: "???"
Lin Yu: "I’m just being honest."
Shen Buyao: "Damn your brother, saying it so bluntly… You proud or something?!"
Her words were still as fierce as ever,
But her cheeks, redder than the evening glow, betrayed her nervousness.
"Buyao, you’re not scared, are you?"
Lin Yu seized the opportunity, throwing in a distracting question.
Shen Buyao planted one foot on a nearby rock, leaning on her sword for support:
"Scared? Me?"
"Your big sister’s dictionary doesn’t even have that word!"
"Shouldn’t things progress step by step?"
"You, on the other hand… have some audacity!"
The motion of her stepping on the rock caused her red dress to slide slightly,
Revealing her fair, jade-like legs in full view—so mesmerizing that Lin Yu couldn’t tear his eyes away.
In front of others, she had to put on an act of innocence.
But with this "antique sister," there was no need for pretense.
Honest and straightforward—it was a rare moment of comfort.
Lin Yu: "So white, like a Yili pudding."
Shen Buyao noticed his gaze: "!!!"
She quickly lowered her leg and adjusted her dress.
This little pervert!
So he’s been pretending all along?
The moment they’re alone on this secluded hill, his true colors show!
Is this… how all guys are?
Shen Buyao couldn’t help but wonder.
She had zero dating experience.
In fact, she’d never even had a close male friend in her life.
What goes through the mind of a normal guy in his early twenties?
She had no frame of reference whatsoever.
"Really trying to take advantage of your big sister?"
"Careful, or I’ll twist your head off!"
Like a startled little animal, she kept hurling threats.
But this kind of bluster had no effect on Lin Yu.
Strike where it hurts most.
The weaker the opponent’s defenses, the more you should exploit and dominate that vulnerability.
For Shen Buyao,
Her biggest weakness was her lack of experience with romance and the opposite sex.
Elementary school level? No—
More like preschool!
And besides,
This was a dream—a place where logic didn’t strictly apply.
As the renowned "antique sister expert" Shen Jiuyi once said:
"Buyao’s a bit silly, commonly known as…"
Lin Yu suddenly frowned, feigning surprise:
"Can’t see anymore? Not allowed to look?"
Shen Buyao: "???"
What the hell?
Now he’s asking like it’s his right?
Who gave him the courage?
"You damn well can’t, you idiot Lin Yu!"
"You wanna look, so I should just let you?"
"What kind of pervert logic is that?!"
Lin Yu suddenly adopted a dejected expression:
"Sorry, maybe I misunderstood. I thought we were trying to date…"
Shen Buyao: "!!!"
Not giving her a chance to respond,
Lin Yu pressed on:
"I overstepped. Got ahead of myself."
"I’ll be more careful next time. Don’t be mad."
"Buyao, you know me…"
"I don’t talk like this with just anyone!"
That last line—"I don’t talk like this with just anyone"—hit Shen Buyao hard.
As the "fated one" who could pull out her "Purple-Green Sword," of course she was considering dating him. That’s why she’d come out with him in the first place!
She’d wanted to explain, but Lin Yu’s words came too fast,
Leaving her struggling to keep up.
Hearing his hurt tone, Shen Buyao actually felt… guilty.
Dating was supposed to be different from regular friendships, right?
Had she overreacted?
"I—I am trying to date you too!"
"Otherwise, why would I accept your invitation?"
"It’s just… I’ve got no experience…"
For once, Shen Buyao stumbled over her words, her reply lacking its usual confidence.
Lin Yu smirked inwardly.
Time to press the advantage.
"I’ve never dated either. All I know is what my guy friends say."
"When two people like each other, in a private place…"
"Isn’t it normal to do things they wouldn’t usually do?"
"I thought it was okay…"
Shen Buyao’s lips twitched.
Damn this Lin Yu—she couldn’t even argue.
Then,
She stepped back onto the rock, letting the edge of her dress slide open again.
"Fine, look if you must. It’s not like I’ll lose anything."
"Honestly, what’s so fascinating about this to you guys?"
Hiss—
That feeling…
It awakened something primal in Lin Yu.
He doubled down:
"It’s beautiful. Especially with this fairy-like outfit—it’s breathtaking."
"The best I’ve ever seen."
As he spoke,
He moved closer, reaching out to touch.
Shen Buyao panicked, blocking his hand: "!!!"
"Looking wasn’t enough? Now you’re touching?!"
The "wounded" Lin Yu made a comeback:
"Too much again? My friends say couples need physical contact to grow closer."
"If it’s just looking…"
"Couldn’t I just stare at anyone on the street?"
"But they’re not the one I’m trying to date."
Shen Buyao’s delicate face trembled with embarrassment.
Damn it!
He’d convinced her again!
"Fine, it’s not like a touch will kill me."
"Just… make it quick."
With that,
She stepped onto the rock once more.
Clearly,
The unfamiliarity of it all made her instinctively nervous.
This time, she subtly held her dress to keep it from sliding too far.
A small detail—but no matter.
Give an inch, and he’ll take a mile.
The cool, silky texture under his fingers made Lin Yu’s pulse race.
Skin like this—
Even with two lifetimes of experience, it was a rarity.
Don’t press too hard…
Not yet…
Meanwhile,
Shen Buyao turned her head away, desperately hiding the strange sensations stirring inside her.
This…
This must be what normal dating feels like, right?
Though…
Holding hands usually comes before holding legs.
This still feels a little weird!
