92: A lotus blooms in clear water, naturally without any decoration

Just as Fang Yun was pondering where he could find a large number of Cleaners and then "withdraw" a large sum of System points through them, a voice came from not far away, interrupting his thoughts.

"Fang Yun, are you ready? We can head to the bonfire party location now."

Startled awake from his thoughts, Fang Yun looked up in the direction the voice came from.

He saw a super beauty who perfectly matched Fang Yun's aesthetic slowly walking towards him.

Large, clear blue eyes looked at Fang Yun with a watery gaze.

A high, delicate nose, bright red lips, and exquisite ears were perfectly arranged on a face that was slightly baby-faced.

Her fair skin was still steaming, as if she had just come out of a bath.

Her slender waist highlighted her perfect body proportions.

The most wonderful thing was the unique temperament formed by the intertwining of her spiritedness and gentleness.

She truly deserved the description, "Her bearing is graceful and profound, virtuous and genuine; her skin is delicate, her flesh and bones well-proportioned."

This beauty was none other than Vavinia.

Fang Yun, whose mind was captivated by her beauty, stood rooted to the spot, staring blankly at her.

As he watched Vavinia get closer and closer, Fang Yun's heart rate gradually accelerated with her approach.

It wasn't that Fang Yun had never seen beautiful women, and he considered himself not a weak-willed person who couldn't take his eyes off beauty.

However, upon seeing a great beauty who perfectly matched his aesthetic walking towards him, Fang Yun couldn't help but become momentarily lost in the sight.

If someone were to drag Fang Yun off the small stool now, he definitely wouldn't be able to walk.

「I thought the female V I created in the game was beautiful enough, but I didn't expect Vavinia to be even more beautiful than the "dream lover" I imagined.」

「No, I should say, the true appearance of my "dream lover" is exactly how Vavinia looks.」

While Fang Yun was staring blankly, Vavinia had slowly walked up to him.

When Vavinia saw Fang Yun's dumbfounded look, a hint of happiness and satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and the corner of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

She gently smoothed her hair at the temples, leaned down slightly, extended her hand to Fang Yun, and said with a radiant smile:

"Fang Yun, let's go to the bonfire party."

Fang Yun, still in a daze, subconsciously responded.

Subsequently, Fang Yun's gaze was involuntarily drawn to the hand Vavinia extended.

He saw that Vavinia's palm was pure white like jade, fair with a hint of red, and her fingers were distinct and extremely long, perfectly matching the ancient saying, "Hands like tender shoots, fingers like scallions."

「Oh no, I think I've awakened a new XP.」

「Her hands are so beautiful, and other parts are also perfectly beautiful.」

「How can there be such a beauty in this world who is so perfectly to my liking?」

「Vavinia, unparalleled in beauty.」

「Vavinia, exceptionally intelligent.」

「Vavinia, capable of making fish sink and geese fall.」

「Great Vavinia, long live, long live, long long live!」

Although his brain was trying to run wild, Fang Yun, feeling the timing wasn't quite right, still made an effort to snap back to reality and then grasped the jade-like hand Vavinia offered.

Vavinia squeezed Fang Yun's hand and, with a pull, lifted him from the stool.

Due to inertia, after being pulled up, Fang Yun involuntarily took two small steps forward, bringing him close to Vavinia's body.

In an instant, a fragrant scent filled Fang Yun's nostrils.

The scent was like orchids, incredibly refreshing, subtly fragrant, and not overly strong.

The elegant scent, just a single whiff, would linger in one's heart.

The fragrance wafted towards him, causing Fang Yun to involuntarily take a sniff.

Seeing Fang Yun's action, a blush finally appeared on Vavinia's cheeks.

Standing close to Vavinia, Fang Yun immediately saw the crimson color on her face.

Even with Fang Yun's thick skin, facing this situation, he couldn't help but blush.

Fang Yun lightly coughed, just about to create some distance, when suddenly, as if he had seen something exquisitely wonderful, his eyes widened, and his feet felt rooted to the ground, unable to move even an inch.

「Oh my bean. How did I not notice such a beautiful and moving sight just now?」

「Looking down from space, the Northern Hemisphere in winter is indeed different from other seasons, huh? Big and round, and as white as milky white snow pellets.」

Fang Yun, who had originally planned to create distance, was thus forcibly captivated by the beautiful scenery of the Northern Hemisphere for a few seconds.

It wasn't until Fang Yun had thoroughly appreciated the beauty of the Northern Hemisphere that Vavinia, as if waking from a dream, pulled away.

Her face was still flushed, and her eyes seemed to want to avoid his gaze, but ultimately, she looked steadily into Fang Yun's eyes.

"Come with me, the bonfire party location is this way."

After saying this, Vavinia couldn't hold on any longer and quickly turned her head and walked away.

Looking at Vavinia's "hurried escape," Fang Yun smacked his lips:

"I really miss the big white steamed buns from Northeast China. Unfortunately, I can't eat them right now. Maybe another time."

Then, while pondering whether breastfeeding or formula feeding was more beneficial for human growth, Fang Yun followed after Vavinia.

Vavinia's steps were a little hurried at first, but after a few seconds, she slowed down again.

Seeing this, Fang Yun covered the distance in a few strides and caught up to Vavinia without much effort.

Although Fang Yun considered himself a gentleman, his longing for his hometown in Northeast China was too strong, so he planned to take a good look at the beautiful scenery of the Northern Hemisphere if he had the chance.

However, to Fang Yun's disappointment, the scenery window had been closed at some point.

「Ah, I missed the opportunity. Beautiful scenery is indeed a fleeting treasure.」

「When will I have the ability to create my own beautiful scenery? At that time, I can look at whatever scenery I want. Wouldn't that be wonderful?」

Fang Yun sighed inwardly, and then, while feeling regretful, he couldn't help but have a question:

「Was this scenery window specially opened for me? So it closed immediately after I finished looking?」

Thinking of this, Fang Yun's heart couldn't help but speed up once again.

Before Fang Yun could come up with a definite answer, Valentine's voice suddenly rang out and reached his ears.

"Oh, Sister, Fang Yun. Are you both ready?"

Hearing the sound, Fang Yun raised his head, which he had just lowered, and looked diagonally ahead.

He saw Valentine, dressed in casual clothes, pulling back the tent curtain and looking towards him and Vavinia.

Fang Yun nodded at Valentine.

"Yes, we are both ready."

Hearing this, Valentine gave them an "OK" gesture and then said:

"Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go back to the tent to get something and be right back."

Fang Yun and Vavinia naturally had no objection and nodded to indicate it was fine.

...

It was already a quarter past 10 in the evening.

At this time, except for the brightly lit area where the bonfire party was held, only the small lights hanging above the entrances of the various tents of the Buckle Family were still emitting a faint glow.

Under the dark sky, all boundaries became somewhat blurred.

Whether it was the boundaries between people or the boundaries between people and things.

Fang Yun and Vavinia stood together in silence, waiting for Valentine to appear.

Under the cover of the night, Fang Yun looked towards Vavinia, both openly and secretly.

The great beauty Vavinia was standing next to Fang Yun at this moment.

The electric light at the tent entrance emitted a bright white light, shining on Vavinia's face.

The light refracted and diffracted, creating a colorful halo around the contours of her cheeks.

Against the backdrop of the hazy halo, her two baby-faced cheeks, tinged with blush, appeared even more delicious and tempting.

Feeling his mind captivated by beauty, Fang Yun used his immense willpower to shift his gaze and looked up at the sky.

In the dark sky, a bright full moon hung high overhead, and faintly, there were specks of starlight twinkling around it.

After two seconds, Fang Yun spoke in a low voice:

"The moon tonight is beautiful."

"..."

The response to Fang Yun was silent silence.

"..."

Just as Fang Yun was about to answer himself, Vavinia spoke softly:

"The wind is also gentle."

Hearing this sentence, Fang Yun's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked down at Vavinia with some surprise.

What met his eyes was Vavinia's gaze, shy yet filled with joy, and her cunning smile.

Through Vavinia's eyes, Fang Yun seemed to hear her voice:

"Hehe. I know that line. How about that, didn't expect it, did you?"

Since he was experiencing auditory hallucinations, Fang Yun took the opportunity to ask Vavinia:

"That line, you know it?"

Vavinia folded one arm across her chest, while her other hand played with the hair at her temples.

"Mhm. I heard that line on the street once when I went to Japan Street. I thought it sounded nice, so I remembered it."

Fang Yun showed an expression of understanding.

"So that's how it is."

"..."

Fang Yun did not continue to ask questions such as "Do you know the story behind this line?"

As for why he didn't continue asking...

Those who know understand, and if you don't understand, think about it more and come back.

Those who know, know how deep the meaning is here. Those who don't know, it's better not to know (doge).

Silence spread once again.

Unlike the last time, a subtle connection seemed to have been established between the two, so this silence became "audible" in its voicelessness.

The night grew deeper.

The beast sleeping in the body awakened.

As the saying goes, whenever night falls, desires and emotions become increasingly unrestrained, like an eager little beast, scratching at the bottom of everyone's heart.

If one lacks strong self-control and allows desires and emotions to surge in their heart and mind, they will become like fire, burning hotter and hotter, difficult to suppress.

At this moment, Fang Yun and Vavinia were in the midst of this kind of "fire."

One step, two steps, three steps.

Fang Yun couldn't help but move closer towards Vavinia.

Vavinia, standing still, had a conflicted expression, her eyes flickering, as if she wanted to avoid him, to escape.

However, as Fang Yun gradually approached, Vavinia's feet ultimately did not move even an inch.

Vavinia turned her head away, not looking at Fang Yun, who was now right beside her.

Facing this situation, facing Vavinia who had given up resistance like a little lamb, a choice window seemed to appear before Fang Yun.

「Should I go for it?」

「Yes or No」

Fang Yun took a deep breath, and time seemed to stand still in that instant.

Accompanied by a long exhale, Fang Yun made his final decision.

「Vavinia is pretending to be calm on the surface, but she must be very nervous inside.」

「She is a good woman who is gentle and reserved to her core. Precisely because of this, I cannot make a decision lightly right now.」

「This time, this moment, this place, is definitely not the right time or venue.」

「Moreover, there's also the chicken feather crown...」

「In short, it's better to wait for a truly suitable opportunity to arrive.」

After deciding to continue waiting, Fang Yun stood still next to Vavinia, no longer making any moves.

Meanwhile, Vavinia was tightly closing her eyes, her eyelids trembling uneasily, showing her inner tension.

The warm air Fang Yun exhaled hit her shoulder and the Northern Hemisphere, causing Vavinia, who was in the cold air, to tremble slightly.

After waiting anxiously for more than ten seconds, Vavinia was surprised to find that Fang Yun hadn't made any further moves.

Vavinia opened her eyes, turned her head to look at Fang Yun beside her, and found that, like herself just now, he was standing close to her with his eyes tightly closed.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in Vavinia's eyes.

Subsequently, the surprise faded, replaced by eyes full of happiness and satisfaction.

Vavinia looked at Fang Yun leaning next to her and taking deep breaths, finding it a bit amusing.

『He'd rather have sesame seeds than a watermelon. He's really an interesting person.』

『Alright, I'll give you a little reward.』

Thinking of this, Vavinia leaned against Fang Yun.

Originally, Fang Yun was memorizing the scent on Vavinia, preparing to use "recognize a woman by scent" in the future.

Unexpectedly, Vavinia suddenly leaned in.

Through a layer of clothing, Fang Yun naturally couldn't feel things like delicate skin.

However, the soft touch, different from steel prosthetics and hard muscles, could still be felt.

「Plump, Vavinia should lose weight in the future.」

「...No, perhaps this kind of figure is the best?」

While his thoughts were running wild, Fang Yun leaned against Vavinia.

After about a few more minutes, the slow Valentine finally finished packing and came out of the tent.

"Sorry, Sister. I was absorbed in electronic assembly for a while, so I just finished packing and came out late."

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Fang Yun."

"Then let's hurry to the bonfire party. I can't wait to brag... chat."

Before Valentine came out of the tent, Fang Yun and Vavinia had already separated.

Hearing Valentine's words, which were apologetic but couldn't hide his excitement, Fang Yun and Vavinia exchanged glances and both spoke:

"No problem, let's go." x2

〖Valentine raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off: "How do I feel like you two are hiding something from me?"〗

〖Fang Yun and Vavinia shook their heads in unison, laughing awkwardly: "Haha. No, no. How could that be?"〗

〖Valentine squinted his eyes, scanning back and forth between the two, observing for a while, then stroked his chin: "Tsk. Something is indeed still not right."〗
