I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

"Walk."

Qiong took Xia Die's small hand very naturally, and led her through the quiet corridor of the Golden Courtyard, up the spiral staircase leading to the third floor.

A huge open-air balcony came into view.

The ground was covered with thick, soft, purplish-pink cushions, and scattered around the cushions were autumn red maple leaves, like a magnificent carpet.

An ancient and lush tree stands to one side, its branches tinged with crimson and gold, yet still supporting a tranquil sky.

"Hey~ (Hey buddy, lie down~)"

The purple cube bounced around, taking up the best spot, and even hopped on a pillow, gesturing for Qiong to lie down and look at the night sky.

"Here you are."

Qiong pulled Xia Die down onto the soft cushion together.

"Oh, the stars are shining brightly tonight."

Countless stars converge to form a dazzling Milky Way, stretching across the sky and shining brightly.

Is this a texture?

Or something else?

Given that Onphalus is a data world, those stars are definitely not real stars.

However, Qiong would certainly not say such a mood-killing thing.

"Hey~ (Hey buddy, that looks great~)"

The little guy jumped onto Qiong's forehead.

"If you like it, look at it more."

"Butterfly, what do you think?"

"Yes, it's very beautiful, very pretty."

A gentle breeze ruffled her white and purple hair, the tips of which brushed against her face. She gazed into the young man's golden eyes, which reflected the starry night sky, and answered earnestly.

That was a sight etched into the soul.

This scene surpasses any other moment in Xiaodie's thousand-year wandering life.

In particular, my hand is still being held by you.

The starlight fell from the sky.

Warmth is conveyed.

A gentle breeze blows, nightingales sing, birds fly side by side, and red leaves fall at a speed of 5 centimeters per second.

How should I describe this subtle tactile sensation?

It felt as if blue velvet had enveloped my entire body, and every pore exuded a sense of security and satisfaction.

A strong, unprecedented impulse surged within her.

If only time could stand still at this moment.

"butterfly."

The soft whispers beside her brought Xia Die back to her senses. She suddenly realized that she had been immersed in that happiness for a full twenty minutes.

"What is it, Your Excellency?"

Xia Die's voice was incredibly gentle.

"Remember the dance we did before? It was the recruitment video for 'Moth Chasing the Flame'!"

When Xia Die heard Qiong dance to "The Drunken Butterfly" the night before, her blissful thoughts were instantly disrupted. Her face flushed, and she gently hooked her finger around Qiong's palm, like a kitten trying to please him.

"I remember, Your Excellency... Is it really impossible to delete it?"

"Actually, I've already deleted it."

"Huh, really?"

"Of course..."

It's fake!

"So, let's dance one more time."

Qiong stood up and pulled Xia Die up.

"But, Your Excellency, I don't know how to jump..."

As Xia Die raised her head, her gaze met the bright, spirited eyes of the young man.

She instinctively avoided eye contact and lowered her head. Those bright golden eyes, in Xia Die's eyes, were like the sun at night, so warm that they were almost blinding.

"It's okay, I'll teach you."

With a forceful pull, Qiong dragged Xia Die, who was sitting on the cushion with her head down, up, making her look at him.

"So what? Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in me. I'm the best dancer and teacher on the train. I guarantee you'll learn."

Xia Die saw a slight smile playing in the young man's eyes, which looked sly and amusing.

"Then... I'll trouble you."

Xia Die's deep-seated self-control crumbled at this moment, and she could no longer suppress the joyful impulse in her heart.

And so, under the gentle gaze of the starry sky, accompanied by falling red leaves and the music of nightingales, the young man took the girl's hand and took their first step.

Their waltz began slowly on the starlit terrace.

"Neh~"

The purple cube stared intently at the butterfly, studying diligently.

……

Bathing Palace on the seventh day of the third month.

Something's not right.

Chang Yeyue, who was lying on her side on the messy bed, suddenly rolled over, her neck suddenly straightening like a mother leopard spotting her prey.

"What's wrong?"

She heard March 7's weary voice from the side, and she had just recovered a little from her super-damage state.

She was huddled under the blanket, her little face still flushed, her mind still filled with turmoil.

With such a large quantity, is there a risk of me getting pregnant?

But he was awakened by Chang Yeyue's movements.

"Honey~? He hasn't come back for so long, where did he go?"

"Ah Qiong might have gone out for a late-night snack. Even if he comes back, do you still want to continue? No, maybe you shouldn't?"

Little March blushed and whispered.

She never expected that Changyeyue's five senses would be connected at that time. Although the double experience was an unprecedented one, which captivated even Sanyueqi, it was too physically demanding.

"He'd better go get a late-night snack?"

Chang Yeyue narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint flashing in his blood-red pupils.

Her gaze swept over her other self, who was lost in some rosy daydream, her face flushed. She sighed helplessly, her tone softening, carrying a hint of doting comfort:

"Silly girl, don't overthink it."

"We are currently in a memetic state, or a spiritual body. No matter how much you have, you won't get pregnant. Your body is still in the Six Phases of Ice, being held by your darling."

"Oh, oh... I see..."

With her shy little thoughts exposed, March 7th blushed even more, like a ripe apple.

However, since it was in front of himself, the awkwardness quickly disappeared, and he just muttered an explanation under his breath.

"I wasn't thinking anything..."

Looking at the innocent and naive Xiao Sanyue, who seemed completely unaware of the potential danger, Chang Yeyue felt a little tired. After a two-second silence, she made a decision:

"No, in order to keep my darling under control, on March 7th, I will help you improve your intelligence."

"I'm not stupid! I'm not stupid at all!"

Upon hearing her other self say this, she immediately puffed out her cheeks, shook her head angrily, and corrected herself.

It's one thing for Aqiong and Axing to say they're stupid, but why does Changyeyue also say she's stupid?

Is that correct?

Is this reasonable?

"Okay, okay~ Our March 7th is the smartest~"

Seeing that Xiao Sanyue was in a bad mood, Chang Yeyue readily comforted her.

She bent down, stuck out her tongue, and gently licked away the traces of Qiong that remained on March 7's delicate collarbone, traces that she herself had not cleaned.

"Then can I ask you a few questions?"

"Hehe, okay, go ahead and ask!"

The March 7th day, after being coaxed, immediately went from cloudy to sunny, and the day's energy was restored in a second.

"If you can answer these three questions correctly, you'll pass, proving you're smart enough and don't need any special training. How about that?"

"No problem, bring it on!"

On March 7th, full of confidence, he raised his little fist.

Changyeyue sat down opposite March 7th, the blanket slipping down to her waist. While seemingly casually searching for any remaining traces of white fluid on the girl's body, she slowly raised her slender fingers:

Question 1: You ran a race and overtook the second-place finisher. What place did you get?

"First place."

March 7th answered almost instantly, her pink and blue eyes sparkling, proud of her quick reaction.

"wrong."

Chang Yeyue gently shook her head, a hint of "I knew it" in her blood-red eyes.

“Honey, you’ve caught up with the second-place player, so you’ve naturally taken his place and become the new second-place player.”

"Huh~~~?"

Little March's eyes widened, and a huge loading icon seemed to appear on her little head, spinning wildly.

Changyeyue didn't give her much time to think, and elegantly raised her second finger:

Question 2: It's still a race.

"You worked very hard this time and overtook the runner at the back of the pack. So, where are you now?"

"Chase after the last person..."

This time, I was a little more cautious on March 7th. I frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized what I meant and smiled broadly.

"Of course, I ended up in last place."

"You're wrong again."

Chang Yeyue was very patient, her tone carrying a hint of helpless laughter.

"Silly girl, think about it. He was in last place. If you were able to surpass him, it means you were already ahead of him!"

"How could you possibly chase after someone who's behind you? The question deliberately set a trap for you, and you obediently jumped right in."

"Huh~~?"

Little March's pink and blue eyes trembled from side to side, her mouth slightly open, looking incredulous.

"Question 3: A mute person wants to buy a toothbrush. He imitates the action of brushing his teeth to the salesperson and successfully buys a toothbrush. Now, a blind person wants to buy a pair of sunglasses. How should he express his desire?"

Chang Yeyue patiently and gently coaxed, making a brushing motion as she spoke.

March 7th was immediately drawn into the scene. She blinked, thought hard, and came to a conclusion:

“He can demonstrate the action of putting on sunglasses.”
