From Now On, Leave All Our Dates to Me, Firefly!
"Let's go, Lin Shuang. How about we grab some Pastries and a coffee? I know a good place around here."
I followed the rhythm of the Firefly all the way.
Lin Shuang gradually realized that Firefly seemed to have really planned a whole day of dating.
It all started with that one Pastries shop, then I stumbled upon some cute little gifts while passing through the shopping street.
Then came lunch, the afternoon movie, and so on...
Although it all seemed like a spur-of-the-moment decision, the whole process had a subtle smoothness and rhythm.
Moreover, the stores I chose were all quite good.
If the route hadn't been planned in advance, Lin Shuang wouldn't understand how Firefly knew so much about this city on Azur Star.
When we came out of the movie theater.
It's almost sunset.
Lin Shuang glanced at the charm hanging on her phone case; it was a small gift they had picked out for each other while browsing a jewelry store before lunch.
It's a model of the hammer used by the Herta doll, and it's very well made.
It feels great to see the gear in the middle turn.
Although the premium was a bit steep, Lin Shuang had plenty of money on hand, so she wasn't under much pressure.
It wasn't that Firefly had a unique eye; it was mainly that Lin Shuang took a liking to this little hammer the moment she entered the store.
Although Firefly didn't quite understand, she still thoughtfully picked it out for Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang chose a small green firefly-shaped toy for Firefly, which would light up when its Tail was flicked.
"Is the sun going to set so soon?"
Firefly glanced at the sky; the distant horizon was gradually being tinged with a hint of rosy clouds.
Although we had planned the specific time in advance, it seemed that the sun would set earlier than expected.
There was no rush to get to dinner.
Firefly and Lin Shuang walked side by side on the clean and spacious sidewalk.
Looking at the streetlights that had been turned on at the appointed time, Lin Shuang suddenly spoke:
"Thank you for planning this date. I thought it was just a casual outing, but I didn't expect you to have put in so much effort."
Compared to Firefly, who not only made a date plan but also specifically asked Kafka for advice on how to do makeup she had never done before.
Lin Shuang appeared much more casual, with her long hair simply styled in a ponytail and her clothes being a fairly ordinary outfit.
In comparison, Lin Shuang seems to have put in less effort.
"If there's another chance next time, let me do it."
Lin Shuang poked her phone charm with her finger and said with a smile.
"Ah..."
As soon as Lin Shuang finished speaking, Firefly let out a small gasp, raised her hand to cover her face, and said very embarrassedly:
"How did you figure that out? I followed the instructions exactly, and everything looked natural."
Firefly thought about it for a moment and realized that her transition seemed perfectly natural and there were no problems.
"It went so smoothly! Even though it was my first time on a strange planet, we barely encountered any problems on our date."
Lin Shuang looked at Firefly with amusement. This child, she had arranged everything so well, how could she not see through it?
If it were a spontaneous decision without prior planning, the trip wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
Neither of them possessed any special luck-based abilities.
"They'll definitely think you planned this, right?"
"Hmm..."
The Firefly was momentarily speechless.
This was an unexpected turn of events.
How could she let things fall apart in a place like this? It's more like, what's wrong with Lin Shuang?
Isn't it good enough if the date goes smoothly? Why do you have to guess? Isn't it better to just have fun and forget about it?
Originally, Firefly didn't want to tell Lin Shuang that she had made a plan, because she didn't want to put any extra burden or pressure on Lin Shuang.
Because, in Firefly's view, all that she had done was to express her gratitude and repay Lin Shuang for her efforts.
If Lin Shuang says something like this because of this incident, that she should do the preparations next time.
Wouldn't that mean my gratitude today was completely unsuccessful?
Firefly felt quite helpless, but she was very happy to be able to spend time with Lin Shuang.
In fact, as someone who is almost completely isolated from the identity of 'Sam', Lin Shuang is more able to help Firefly gradually adapt to her new identity.
And many things are easier to say aloud.
But Firefly didn't want Lin Shuang to waste too much energy on her own affairs.
Lin Shuang didn't notice Firefly's inner turmoil.
I was just embarrassed because I thought the Firefly were still there.
However, Firefly's Affection jumped slightly.
[Target: Firefly]
[Affection: 75 (Touched and Expectant)]
[Relationship: Friends]
['A friend I first met as Firefly, and someone who remains outside the Stellaron Hunter —your existence undoubtedly holds special significance.']
['Of course, this meaning isn't profound enough; your relationship remains as fleeting as a firefly.']
[Reward: One green card draw]
Thanks to what happened in the past two days, Firefly's Affection has suddenly increased to seventy-five.
Lin Shuang nodded slightly.
If the relationship progresses further, there will be another chance to Purple Draw.
Dating should be on the agenda, but it can't just be dating; Lin Shuang isn't really going to be a bad girl.
Affection doesn't only represent romantic relationships; why can't it represent friendship?
I wonder what Firefly like to do to pass the time.
The two walked along the roadside, and a temporary silence fell.
The sun is gradually descending as time goes by. In the evening, the changing colors of the sky at dusk make it easy to notice that the sun is gradually moving down.
A cool breeze ruffled the tips of her hair, and Lin Shuang could smell the fresh scent of grass and trees.
Lin Shuang cleared her mind and wandered aimlessly.
One moment I'm thinking about the plot of the Herta Space Station, and the next I'm wondering if people from Azur Star would receive preferential treatment when entering the Herta Space Station.
He even temporarily forgot that there was a lovely lady beside him, and was caught in a dilemma.
While Lin Shuang was lost in thought about these random things...
As if preparing herself mentally, Firefly would steal glances at Lin Shuang every now and then, secretly encouraging herself.
After walking for quite a while, Firefly seemed to have finally prepared herself mentally.
Turning my head, I saw Lin Shuang looking straight ahead, strolling leisurely, her bright blue eyes filled with a gentle smile that seemed to be directed at someone unknown.
Firefly suddenly realized that she was probably being a little greedy, because she wanted that gentle touch to fall on her.
So she reached out and tugged at Lin Shuang's sleeve.
After confirming that Lin Shuang had noticed his movements and turned around to look at him.
Not knowing how to start the conversation, he instinctively smiled at Lin Shuang.
Volume 1: Chapter 121 Leave all the dates from now on to me, Firefly!
Lin Shuang was suddenly pulled on the hem of her clothes. She turned around and found Firefly's little hand tugging at her clothes, smiling foolishly at her.
Well, how should I put it?
It's a little confusing, but it's cute.
"What happened? Suddenly."
"Cough..."
Realizing she had just made a move, Firefly quickly withdrew her hand.
He even coughed awkwardly.
Her little hands restlessly rose up to tidy her bangs and then her sideburns.
Firefly opened her small mouth, wanting to say that she should come next time too.
But no matter how I think about it, I don't know how to phrase it.
After a few more seconds of stalemate, Lin Shuang patiently looked at Firefly, waiting for her to continue.
Lin Shuang, on the other hand, found Firefly's current conflicted state incredibly adorable.
If the next date goes like this, I'm afraid I'll be the one whose Affection I'm infatuated with will skyrocket before I even raise Firefly's Affection.
"That is..."
Firefly subconsciously scratched her bangs and adjusted the headband on her head.
"For our next date... can I still arrange it?"
For some reason, Firefly spoke very cautiously, clearly trying to take on work for herself, yet she asked so carefully.
Even though she hadn't done anything, Lin Shuang felt strangely as if she had wronged Firefly.
"Why?"
"Think about it, choosing a date location is more convenient for me. I can easily check it out in person. If you come, it would take too much effort, which is unnecessary."
That's the logic.
Lin Shuang's teleportation wasn't as free as Silver Wolf's, which allowed him to directly change coordinates.
But Lin Shuang always felt that these words didn't seem like Firefly's real reason, but rather a hastily made-up excuse.
"..."
Seeing that Firefly was just waiting for Lin Shuang to nod, Lin Shuang really didn't intend to ask any further questions.
Well, to be honest, we haven't actually spent that much time together so far.
We haven't reached the point where we can delve into every single issue.
So Lin Shuang simply nodded in agreement with Firefly.
"Alright then, I'll have to trouble you next time we meet."
"Hehe~ How could that be?"
Firefly clutched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. The full, plump breasts rose and fell with her breath, and with her arms pressing down on her clothes, some of their lines were outlined.
It's starting to attract attention.
"Then we should go have dinner later. Hehe, Silver Wolf helped us pick out the restaurant."
With her burden lifted, Firefly felt relaxed again and pointed in a direction with a smile:
"The shop is in that direction; you can walk there along this road. There's a beautiful spot up there."
After saying that, he took Lin Shuang's hand again and quickened his pace toward their destination.
