Firefly, We Can't Play Games While Holding Hands... / Firefly: Lin Shuang, You Smell So Good

The familiar teleportation activated, Firefly appeared beside Lin Shuang with a smile.

Perhaps it's because the need for daily communication has increased after people have gained more freedom of movement.

Today, Firefly changed into an off-shoulder dress, the belt accentuating her slender waist and beautiful figure. Only the headband in her hair remained unchanged.

Hi, good evening.

Firefly, wearing flat shoes, smiled and walked over to Lin Shuang, waving to her. She then placed the machine from the bag on the coffee table.

Lin Shuang got up and poured Firefly a glass of juice, gesturing for her to sit down first, and asked:

Good evening, Firefly. How have you been feeling lately?

"Thanks to your cake, I've been having a lot of fun lately."

Mentioning this, Firefly's smile brightened instantly. Her eyes, when looking at Lin Shuang, were filled with tenderness.

Volume 1: Chapter 186 Firefly, if our fingers are intertwined, we can't play games...

Perhaps it was to show off their recent lifestyle, or maybe they simply wanted to flaunt their outfit today.

Firefly swayed her hips and twirled around in front of Lin Shuang.

"Thanks to your cake, I've been having a great time lately. Kafka has given me a lot of clothes and accessories, and this outfit today was also recommended by Kafka. What do you think?"

The skirt, swaying with her slender waist, blossomed like a blooming flower, catching even more of the falling sunlight.

Reflecting the smile that Firefly radiated towards Lin Shuang, it became the brightest spot in the room.

This scene, so beautiful it was like a painting, brought a smile to Lin Shuang's face.

A plain-colored dress, minimal makeup, a handbag, and flat shoes.

The girl in front of me seemed much more relaxed than before.

Or rather, she seems to be gradually adapting to this kind of life.

So--

"You're beautiful, Firefly. You look beautiful today, and you'll only get more beautiful in the future."

Lin Shuang generously praised Firefly's cuteness and looked forward to her smiling even more brightly in the future.

Hehe~

Such direct praise made Firefly cover her mouth and giggle.

Her fluffy long hair cascaded down her shoulders, swaying playfully.

"Even Kafka isn't as exaggerated as you say. How can you be sure what I'll be like in the future?"

With that, Firefly smiled and sat down next to Lin Shuang.

The way she sat down, holding her skirt in her hand, was increasingly resembling that of an elegant lady. Perhaps she learned it from Kafka?

Lin Shuang smiled slightly.

Are they gradually getting used to this ordinary life?

"It's just a feeling."

As Lin Shuang spoke, she reached out and took out the machine and the accompanying handle.

Even now, these game consoles with physical buttons haven't been completely phased out of the market. In fact, they're quite popular among hardcore gamers.

Anyway, Silver Wolf liked it very much, but Lin Shuang was indifferent.

Lin Shuang rubbed the joystick and continued:

Or rather, I hope that you, in the name of Firefly, can become increasingly dazzling.

Thank you, Lin Shuang.

"There's no need for such a formal thank you."

Lin Shuang chuckled and handed over the controller, then asked:

What game did you bring today?

"I don't know, Silver Wolf gave them all to me. Why don't we try them all?"

The Firefly seemed quite enthusiastic.

After she turned on the projection screen, she tilted her head towards Lin Shuang, almost touching Lin Shuang's face.

The temperature belonging to the Firefly became increasingly apparent, so much so that it seemed to leave a mark on Lin Shuang.

But Firefly's gaze remained fixed on the game menu.

The cursor moves continuously, stopping each time it passes a game Firefly. Take a closer look at the name and description.

"... Speaking of which, Silver Wolf recommended some games before, let me look for them."

It's possible that this was because Firefly usually manipulates Sam to kill people everywhere.

Therefore, many of the games recommended by Silver Wolf are either fun two-player co-op games or story-driven role-playing games.

At first, Firefly seemed a little reserved.

He would always carefully ask Lin Shuang's opinion, such as whether it was fun or whether they cooperated well.

But gradually, I became immersed in the game.

Lin Shuang gradually began to notice Firefly's decisive and efficient nature as a warrior.

If there are any requests or goals, Firefly never offers any opinions on them.

She had only one opinion: to execute it.

Efficient, capable, and meticulous.

As the character gradually became immersed in the game, the Firefly's qualities were fully displayed.

As for Lin Shuang, after noticing this subtle change in temperament, she would occasionally steal glances at Liu Firefly's expression.

She played games with Firefly to relax and have fun.

It's not that I want to see Firefly's other side as a girl, her warrior side.

The main issue is that Lin Shuang doesn't understand what the past Glamoth and those Remembrance of past battles mean to Firefly.

When she named herself 'Firefly', was she rejecting herself as 'Sam'?

Therefore, Lin Shuang could only cautiously probe, or rather, carefully observe.

However, when the two players successfully passed the level together once again...

As Firefly happily raised her hand and jumped up from her seat, she looked at her fluttering skirt and bright smile.

Lin Shuang knew she was overthinking things.

Firefly was a girl who was far more resilient than she had imagined.

Her gentleness and apparent clumsiness were simply because she was facing Lin Shuang, and because of her 'lack of understanding'.

"One life and I've cleared the game! Lin Shuang! Hehehe~"

Firefly laughed happily, then realized she had stood up without her noticing, and shyly threw herself back onto the sofa.

She leaned against Lin Shuang, her rosy cheeks still bearing a smile that hadn't faded, looking like she was in a very good mood.

"Yeah, let's go on a killing spree together."

Lin Shuang responded to Firefly's emotions with a smile, then raised her hand and held it out in front of Firefly, gesturing for her to give her a high five.

Firefly was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed slightly, and she peeked at Lin Shuang's expression through her fingers, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Then, just as Lin Shuang was wondering, Firefly carefully raised her hand and gently placed it on Lin Shuang's palm.

That's not all.

Lin Shuang still hadn't figured out what she was doing.

Then I saw Firefly's slender fingers slip through my own.

He intertwined his fingers with Lin Shuang's hand.

"...??"

Lin Shuang was greatly shocked, especially when she saw Firefly's slightly shy yet radiant smile.

She suddenly realized.

Oh no, did Firefly not give a high-five at all?

Silver Wolf, you always drag Firefly along to play games, but you don't even give her a high-five to celebrate??

However, to be fair, Firefly's hands are very soft and delicate.

People like Lin Shuang or Acheron, who are skilled with weapons, tend to have rougher hands and calluses.

But Firefly is different; most of her power resides in her armor, Sam, and she almost never uses her true body for melee combat.

Therefore, her hands are comparable to those of a newborn star.

"Cough..."

Looking at their intertwined hands, Lin Shuang had to admit that she had indeed been thinking about something inappropriate, but she quickly came back to her senses and coughed lightly.

Under the curious gaze of the Firefly, he said:

"Um, I meant a high five, not interlocking our fingers, otherwise we can't play the game..."

"Ah...!"

Firefly was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face froze.

Then her face flushed bright red, as if she had turned into a steam engine, and it looked like smoke was coming out of her head.

Volume 1: Chapter 187 Firefly: Lin Shuang, You Smell So Good

As Firefly's face flushed red, she abruptly withdrew her small hand from Lin Shuang's palm.

Then he switched the handle to his backhand palm and placed it in front of his abdomen, looking like he didn't know what to do.

He handed over the other hand holding the controller.

She lifted her head and pretended to tidy her bangs, as if trying to distract herself or pretending not to care.

"Yes, I'm sorry... I misunderstood."

"It's okay. After all, you might not have experienced playing games together like this before. Everyone has a first time. How about we give each other another high five?"

Lin Shuang didn't immediately pull her hand away; it was just a simple hand-holding, so it didn't make her feel too shy.

Moreover, the main reason was that Firefly seemed shy enough that Lin Shuang didn't feel anything.

On the contrary, I found the Firefly quite adorable, and I had an urge to hug them and give them a couple of cuddles.

However, she still gave Firefly a way out, preventing her from truly transforming into a steam princess.

Firefly are naturally very shy.

She was so shy that she didn't know what to do with her hands.

Firefly wasn't unaware of high-fives; she just seemed to have lost her mind or something.

When she saw Lin Shuang raise her hand, her first reaction wasn't to high-five, but rather to think Lin Shuang's hand was very beautiful. So she simply extended her hand.

After hastily withdrawing her hand, Firefly was so embarrassed she almost had a stroke.

Fortunately, Lin Shuang remained calm and natural, and offered a way out.

This helped the Firefly gradually calm down.

Although her face was still flushed, she raised her hand again and patted Lin Shuang's palm lightly.

Snap--

The sound, though not loud, reached the ears of both Lin Shuang and Firefly.

Firefly didn't dare look at Lin Shuang, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a smile as she chuckled softly.
