What Strange Trait Has Hua Xin Awakened????
After acquiring several figurines thanks to Xia Yan's superb craftsmanship, Hua Xin was very satisfied and kept them as spoils of war.
Although she knew these things weren't particularly valuable or precious, she had seen them everywhere in places selling figurines on her way to the claw machine.
But this was something Xia Yan caught for her, and that's more than enough.
After handing the not-too-heavy bag to Xia Yan, Hua Xin and he continued to stroll around the area with great interest.
The place, with its overwhelming 2D and manga atmosphere, was, in a way, a place that allowed Hua Xin to return to a hometown she had never seen before.
If there's any difference between this place and other 2D shops in China, it's probably that this place can cover all kinds of works from Japanese anime and manga, as well as game IPs.
She wasn't particularly interested in those popular arcade games and dance machines that were favored by otaku; she just enjoyed the thrill of claw machines.
But his talent doesn't seem to be that high...
After browsing through the familiar areas for figurines and various related merchandise, Hua Xin and Xia Yan once again saw the comic book section, which they had already seen yesterday.
If there's anything more popular and best-selling than figurines, gashapon toys, or similar items, then comics are definitely number one.
It's just that this place is bigger than the shops on the street, and it even has a light novel section...
Hua Xin looked at the various books with classic shrink wrap with some curiosity, and tugged at Xia Yan, who was glancing at a strange place not far away.
However, her attention was completely occupied by the dazzling array of novels at the moment, and she did not notice that something was wrong with Xia Yan.
Xia Yan quickly looked away, then asked with a serious expression, "You've read light novels?"
"Isn't everyone saying that Japanese light novels are all just toilet paper?"
"It doesn't feel as good as domestic online novels, honey. The novel I've been reading lately is called...? I'll never... again..."
Before Xia Yan could finish speaking, Hua Xin interrupted him with a sharp rebuke, "Don't you understand the captivating power of first-person narration, with its superior emotional analysis and character development?"
As a seasoned internet surfer, Hua Xin naturally watches all kinds of works and has tasted all kinds of content. Whether it's a terrible work, a masterpiece, or an erotic work, she can say a thing or two about it.
Commonly known as someone who knows a little about everything.
Xia Yan shook his head decisively. Since he didn't have much time to read novels on weekdays, he naturally preferred to watch short videos and read quick, fast-paced commentary. Even when watching anime, he would only watch the explanations.
But then he seemed to remember a Japanese light novel that he had seen on Tieba before, which was described as a "masterpiece" in another sense.
"Zongze-kun's Love..."
"Stop, this is an exception, don't say anymore."
The moment the name appeared, Hua Xin immediately stopped questioning Xia Yan and expressing her dissatisfaction with Ri Qing's evaluation. She even showed a slightly tense expression because of what he said.
She's seen toilet paper before, and she's even read ebook versions of everything from Letme to Yan Junze, but after reading this, she still couldn't help but almost throw up.
All I can say is that anyone who can keep watching after the beginning is a genius.
Even someone with such high resistance to toxicity like her could do this, which shows just how irresistible the toxicity of this substance must be.
Xia Yan seemed to recall some unpleasant memories as well, and then silently patted Hua Xin's shoulder, the meaning of which was self-evident.
To be honest, even when others have explicitly stated that a book is utterly disgusting, I still feel a certain curiosity.
He had also read this Japanese light novel, and heard that it was even published in Dengeki Bunko, the same publisher that released the semi-divine work Sword Art Online.
The two stopped attacking each other without prior arrangement, and then quietly went inside to browse.
I bought some of my favorite light novels as a way of making up for the free reading I used to do.
Hua Xin, satisfied, waved to Xia Yan, who was standing to the side, carrying several light novels, and then made a move to leave and go downstairs.
Hua Xin was genuinely happy for a while after finally buying the latest volume of "My Sister, My Wife," which hadn't been updated in China for a very long time, since there were no translated or updated versions available in China.
I've already collected a lot of anime girl figurines and some light novels I like, so I'm not really interested in the badges and plush toys anymore. It doesn't seem like there's any point in browsing any further, especially since it's almost lunchtime and I need to eat!
"Wait a minute."
"?"
Xia Yan stopped Hua Xin, who was about to go downstairs, and then silently pointed to the wallpaper posters not far from the stairs leading upstairs.
A girl with a BYT in her mouth was making a mysterious and special gesture with her hand.
Hua Xin: ...
Xia Yan: ...
The two looked at each other, then simultaneously looked away again.
"I'll just stroll around for a little while, then we'll go eat."
"Understand."
Although for this young couple who haven't yet reached the final stage, this kind of topic is nothing new.
At home, we've already done all the touching, kissing, and hugging we wanted. What's so embarrassing about some 18+ stuff?
Please... you're already an adult.
Isn't it normal to watch things you've known since childhood?
But compared to Hua Xin's feelings, Xia Yan's eyes seemed to hold an unfathomable emotion.
Compared to Hua Xin, who doesn't like to do any planning, Xia Yan prefers to do thorough research and planning before going on a trip. This makes things much smoother and avoids unexpected situations like missing something or getting lost, which would not only be troublesome but also waste a lot of time and be more disappointing.
The two slowly went upstairs in sync, but things gradually started to go wrong after they got upstairs.
Normally, stores selling 2D merchandise should sell items related to 2D itself.
Even if it's 18+, it should be something like doujinshi or comics.
Hua Xin, Golden Miner has worked tirelessly on film sets for countless nights, witnesses for the first time in her life what it truly means to have "a dazzling array of treasures."
Wow...
Xia Yan coughed softly, somewhat inappropriately, in an attempt to ease the atmosphere, seemingly not expecting such an "unexpected" situation.
Although I said I checked the guide, the guide only said things like "those who know, know" and "it's not a doujinshi".
I hope Hua Xin hasn't misunderstood...
He glanced cautiously at the girl beside him.
Then, Hua Xin silently walked to a corner with various props, gently bent down and picked up a necklace and a whip, and gave Xia Yan a particularly wicked smile.
"Husband..."
"Would you like to try it out?"
"Yes!?" Xia Yan replied without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll beat you up when I get home tonight."
Hua Xin picked up the two items and then happily went downstairs to pay the bill.
"?"
Xia Yan suddenly realized what was happening, and then for some reason, he suddenly transformed into a domineering CEO, cornering Hua Xin against the wall so she couldn't move.
Seeing the girl's fearless, almost defiant gaze, he spoke in a rare serious tone:
"I am your man."
Hua Xin suddenly became somewhat intrigued and said in a pitiful manner:
"Could it be that Lord Xia Yan intends to punish me? Is that true?"
They didn't seem afraid at all.
Xia Yan suddenly raised an eyebrow and gave the provocative girl a light slap on the crotch of her pants.
"Smack."
A soft voice echoed, instantly sobering Xia Yan up. Before he could frantically ask Hua Xin for an apology, he saw her, who had been silent all along, suddenly blush and look at him with slightly parted eyes, saying:
"Go back... and do it again."
"?"
Xia Yan sensed something was wrong.
Oh no...
It seems my wife has awakened some strange new attribute.
