I Have Dated Too

Following this, the karaoke enthusiasts began belting out songs, while the others started playing the ancient yet thrilling game of Truth or Dare.

"Sometimes, a person wants some peace and quiet, and wants to run up to the sky to gaze at the boundless starry expanse. There must be great existences there that far exceed human civilization."

"Peace and quiet is right here!"

"Please don't call me 'Peace and Quiet', otherwise millions of people will be thinking of me every day."

It is only after drinking that a person's true nature is revealed; the usually very quiet senior Xu Yunjing actually kissed her boyfriend until she was breathless during a round of Dare, leaving Zhang Yuan wide-eyed and dumbstruck.

Meanwhile, the girls around them kept clapping and cheering for it incessantly.

Li Zhendong seemed to have had too much to drink, and he belted out a very fitting song.

"In the vast sea of people, Which one am I?

In the surging waves, Which drop am I?

In the army conquering the universe, The one who contributes silently is me.

In the long river of glorious causes, The one who surges forever is me.

I don't need you to know me, I don't crave for you to recognize me..."

There was actually a girl who was inexplicably moved to tears, and she gave him a sweet kiss... even though they had only known each other for less than a day.

It seemed that in this enclosed little room, everyone became lively and open.

"...Let's go, let's go, hurry up and come with me to buy something!"

Han Ziyue's eyes flickered as she grabbed Zhang Yuan's hand and pulled him hard toward the outside.

"If you want to buy something, go yourself. Why drag me along?"

Zhang Yuan felt her hand was very hot and even sweaty. He instinctively felt a sense of crisis.

"To buy some food! The snacks here are too expensive and not worth it. Aren't you a gentleman? I've had a bit too much to drink, how can I walk the night path alone?"

Zhang Yuan rolled his eyes in secret. This girl had clearly only had two beers, and with so many people coming and going nearby, could a safety incident really happen?

However, thinking about it carefully, it seemed... it was better to just go along with her.

"Let's go, let's go." Han Ziyue happily linked her arm with his, just like a couple.

Zhang Yuan twitched his arm, but found he couldn't move it, so he just gave up. It was the last day anyway, so he would just let her be.

The two wandered aimlessly through the K-bar, passing many vending machines without buying a single thing.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but feel a bit impatient. "What is it you want to buy?"

Han Ziyue suddenly seemed to have made up her mind and asked, "Forget it, not buying anything is fine too... I have a question I want to ask you."

"What?"

She pointed to a sign and asked, "What does the English on that sign mean?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the sign and then glanced toward the side of the room. "STAFF-ONLY, it means it's for staff use. It's probably a utility room."

"So it means no one is inside?"

"What?"

"Hee hee!"

Zhang Yuan was suddenly pulled inside by her, and with a forceful push, he was pinned against the corner of the wall.

"What are you doing?!"

Seeing her sparkling eyes, Zhang Yuan felt a wave of panic for no reason, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Han Ziyue said with a giggle, "You're leaving soon, so I'm giving you a little gift. Hurry up and close your eyes."

"What... gift?"

"Hurry up and close your eyes, are you afraid I'm going to eat you?"

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, I really am afraid of being eaten by you. Looking at that expression of yours, you clearly have ulterior motives.

"Don't think I don't know; I have dated before, okay?"

Before he could react, Han Ziyue had already stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips.

"Ah!"

Zhang Yuan was so nervous he almost jumped up.

"...Are you drunk? Let's hurry back!"

Han Ziyue's face had long since flushed red: "Go back? What are you talking about, I'm not going back! You're so much older than me, yet you act just like a child... I haven't even finished giving you my gift yet."

"I'm not that middle school student I used to be anymore, and I have the right to pursue what I like, don't I?"

Zhang Yuan looked at her hot figure, the crop top revealing her navel, the short skirt, and the ankle socks; it couldn't have been any more daring.

He stammered, "This... isn't right... I can't stay."

"What's not right about it? I know you won't stay, but I just can't help wanting to take things a step further, can I?"

"...A step further?"

"Men are always saying one thing while meaning another. Their mouths say no, but their bodies are very honest..."

"Or rather, their bodies aren't honest at all!"

Blood rushed to Zhang Yuan's head, and he almost cried out, "No, this won't do... We're out in public, someone might come in. If we get caught, the consequences would be terrible."

Having been rejected time and again, Han Ziyue grew a bit angry. She messed up her hair, unbuttoned the top button of her shirt, and said with a cunning glint in her eyes: "If I run out crying like this and accuse you of assaulting me, you wouldn't be able to board the spaceship, would you?"

As for that...

Although he was more than 80% sure she was joking, for the sake of caution, Zhang Yuan let out a silent sigh.

He said very carefully: "Alright, alright, just button your shirt back up. This gift of yours is truly too shocking."

"Yay! Then let's go!"

Han Ziyue flashed a victory sign with her fingers, looking incredibly happy.

Amy Hotel.

Han Ziyue kept a tight grip on Zhang Yuan's arm, not letting him escape in the confusion.

She said quite bluntly: "Well? Do I have to be the one to ask for the room?"

Zhang Yuan bit the bullet, not knowing what else to say, and asked the front desk clerk: "Um... do you have any standard rooms left?"

"Yes, 398 yuan a night."

"We want a couple's suite with a large bed, not a standard room!"

"That's also 398."

The staff member was long used to such young people and secretly wondered why the boy was blushing so hard, though the handsome man and beautiful woman made for a decent pair. He hated those pairings of ugly men with beautiful women, or ugly women with handsome men...

"Are you like this with my sister?" Along the way, Han Ziyue kept teasing Zhang Yuan's sensitive nerves. "Do you think I'm cuter, or is she?"

Zhang Yuan didn't know whether to say "yes" or "no"; either way, it was embarrassing, and all he could think about now was running away.

"I don't know, I've forgotten."

"Then I'll just take that as a no!"

After swiping the key card, they found the room was quite large, and through the window, one could see the lighthouse in the distance.

On the long cross-sea bridge, trains passed by from time to time.

Han Ziyue smiled: "Hurry up and take a shower. Either you go first, or we can shower together. Showering together isn't out of the question, but I'm a little shy..."

"No, I'll go first!" Zhang Yuan said hurriedly.

Separated by a layer of frosted glass, he could still vaguely see her silhouette. Zhang Yuan cursed inwardly at the hotel for having such a damn design.

As he stood under the shower, he...

To say he didn't feel anything... that wouldn't be normal.

However, this kind of thing truly went against his values, and his reason was in a constant state of struggle.

Today, I'm finally finishing the first volume. I feel like it was written quite well; basically everything that needed to be explained has been covered. I'll write the post-volume reflections when the time comes...
