I've already said this isn't a life simulator!

"……Well?"

"This time it's just you and me, right? Are you unhappy?"

"No, how could that be? I'm overjoyed..."

"Sakura might not be happy to hear that, you know?"

"Well……"

"Pfft... Okay, okay, I apologize."

Seeing Xi Wang's embarrassed state, Eden smiled and opened his arms.

"Give me a hug, and ask for my forgiveness?"

"Hmph~"

Xi Wang hummed softly twice, then reached out and hugged Eden in her arms, affectionately nuzzling her cheek to show that she had "forgiven" her.

"Hey, hey, hey, I know you two have a great relationship, but could you please be a little more mindful that there are other people here?"

Before anyone knew it, Ms. Fidel had also come over and stood beside her husband, pointing and commenting on Xiwang and Eden, who were snuggling together.

"Do things like this when no one is around, it's awkward to watch."

"Really? But Miss Fidel does that all the time..."

"No, it's not the same. We're married... Oh well, never mind, I won't argue with you about this."

Fidel instinctively retorted, then immediately realized what he had done, waved his hand, and refused to get entangled with the two on the topic.

"In short, this time it was the two of you going out together... just treat it as a honeymoon and have fun."

"Honey, a honeymoon is something for newlyweds... They're not even married yet..."

"Who cares? Besides, I was just using a metaphor, you know what a metaphor is?"

Fidel pursed her lips, ignoring her husband's correction. She then glanced at Xiwang and Eden, who seemed oblivious to her words, and suddenly pulled Gunn to her side, whispering in his ear.

"And to be honest, looking at the signs between them, I can't even imagine what it will be like if they don't get married... It's just that these two big blockheads are progressing too slowly, like running a marathon, long and slow."

"This is a rare opportunity, I need to point it out quickly and make these two guys realize that this is a good chance to get closer to each other."

"........."

"What's that look in your eyes?"

“Darling…you seem to have forgotten something.”

Gunn sighed, somewhat speechless at his wife's actions.

“During their university years, Xiwang and Eden spent a lot of time together. Back then, they were still in the prime of their youth. Nothing happened between them then, but now… it’s even harder to say.”

"Besides, back in the lakeside town, Eden and Xiwang lived in a separate cabin. Hmm... although they said they were living in separate rooms, they were still living under the same roof, but nothing happened in the end... Do you think your actions were still effective?"

"...Okay, you're right."

Fidel pondered her husband's words for a moment, then covered her head and closed her eyes in pain, saying helplessly.

"What are you whispering about?"

Before they knew it, Xi Wang had come up to them and asked with some curiosity, but soon Xi Wang's voice was tinged with amusement.

"Miss Fidel was just talking about us, and then she turned around and started whispering to Mr. Gunn?"

"This is different!"

A slight blush rose on Fidel's face, and his voice unconsciously rose a little as he retorted. Then, as if to prevent Xiwang from continuing to dwell on the topic, he reached out and turned Xiwang around, gently pushing him.

"Alright, alright, go and have some fun. Eden specially made time for you this time... so cherish it."

"Well, I will."

Xi Wang nodded seriously, showing no sign of joking.

"...Sigh, I really don't know what to say to you."

Fidel pinched his brow with a headache, and in the end, he could only secretly make an encouraging gesture towards Eden... He couldn't count on Xiwang, the big blockhead known as "Diamond," so he could only hope that Eden would take the initiative.

Honestly, that's the only bad thing about Xiwang. In this aspect, it's that the girl has to take the initiative. Only Eden is willing to do it.

After doing all this, Fidel dragged her husband away... and left the rest of the time to them.

"...Shall we...set off?"

"Okay~"

No need for many words, just a smile and a nod, that's enough.

They stuffed their suitcases, containing their personal belongings, into the only remaining space in the back seat, and sat in the driver's and passenger's seats, humming light and cheerful tunes to convey their anticipation.

The vehicle was then started and slowly driven out of the city.

What happened next is self-explanatory. Amidst the joy, the two proceeded according to their itinerary, leaving behind laughter and songs that belonged to the two of them.

The street performances continued as usual, but this time, to avoid large crowds gathering and blocking traffic, the two deliberately disguised themselves to avoid being recognized... However, some people still recognized them, or rather, recognized Eden.

There was nothing she could do; Eden's voice was just too easy to recognize. But occasionally, Xi Wang's playful side would surface, and she would imitate Eden's voice in front of the fans who came up to her. After seeing their puzzled and thoughtful expressions, she would chuckle softly, and then, as they suddenly realized what she meant, she would raise her hand and make a quiet gesture, signaling them not to make a fuss.

When the fans saw Xi Wang and Eden's actions, they realized what the two of them were doing. Most of them were willing to suppress their excitement and not let out a joyful shout. After accepting the two people's autographs with their bodies trembling slightly, they hurriedly ran away... If they didn't run away, they would have shouted out loud!

Of course, there were a few times when I was recognized and ended up surrounded by fans on the street, and even some media came up to me, which was quite troublesome... But fortunately, with the help of the police, I was able to leave successfully.

Although being surrounded and blocked can be a bit annoying, the experience itself has its own unique charm, doesn't it?

After all... the two of them together—even when faced with troubling situations, they'll unconsciously smile.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying their laughter and their song softly into the distance.

…………

………………

tick-

It was the sound of rain falling.

It's raining!

It was Xi Wang's cheerful voice.

"Luckily, I set up the tent beforehand, otherwise I'd be getting soaked now!"

"But Xiwang, you seem especially happy."

"Of course, I like it, especially rainy days~"

Xi Wang responded with a smile, while extending his hand out of the transparent canopy, letting the night wind carry the cool rainwater to his palm... He wondered if it was just his imagination, but Xi Wang felt that after he said those words, the rainwater seemed to convey a joyful emotion, as if it was happy that he liked the rainwater.

"It's a pity that tonight isn't suitable for stargazing... I was quite happy when I first discovered this transparent canopy."

Xi Wang withdrew his hand, and said somewhat disappointedly... He really liked rainy days, but he regretted even more that he couldn't fulfill his promise to Eden.

"It's okay, there will always be other opportunities, right?"

Eden didn't really mind, as long as the two of them could be together.

"That's true."

Xi Wang smiled again and nodded in response... Then she quickly stepped forward and, together with Eden, unloaded the grill and charcoal from the car, as well as some food and sauces purchased from the town. Accompanied by the rain and the night wind, they prepared dinner amidst laughter.

While we can't enjoy a barbecue under the stars, we can still have one while listening to the rain.

Moreover, Eden seemed to be in high spirits this time, and offered to help, even trying to grill the food himself... but he accidentally put in too much chili powder, which made the two of them quite spicy.

However, the taste is quite good—Eden seems to have a knack for this!

After dinner, as agreed, the two sat down at their respective seats, slowly sipping the prepared drinks and listening to the melody of the falling rain.

"Would you like some, Xiwang?"

Eden slowly poured the beautiful liquid into an elegant glass, gazing at the wine that resembled his own hair color, and gently swirled it. He then asked with a smile.

"Um...no, I have a very low alcohol tolerance, it wouldn't be good if I got drunk."

Xi Wang glanced at the wine bottle, then shook her head and refused.

"That's true~ Hmm... Come to think of it, I've never seen Xi Wang drunk before, which makes me quite curious~"

"Eden...you can't do this..."

"Hehe, don't worry~ I won't~"

Eden took a sip of the red wine in his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said with a smile.

"While the feeling of being slightly tipsy is enchanting, being drunk is not so pleasant... Besides, I'd also like someone to take care of me when I'm drunk, right?"

"Well, I will."

"That's so reassuring!"

Eden laughed again, a very happy laugh.

"So……"

Eden immediately downed the drink in her glass, letting a slight blush rise to her cheeks, before pulling out a bag of marshmallows from the side.

"It's still warm enough! Want to try some? I've also prepared cookies and chocolates!"

"Won't the heat cause an explosion?"

"It's okay, it just won't happen this time~"

"And if I gain weight later, I'll say it was Xi Wang who made it~"

"That's so mean... Don't come crying to me if you get a little tummy, okay?"

"would not!"

Eden said coquettishly as she placed the skewered marshmallows on the still-warm grill, slowly turning them with one hand while pouring herself a glass of wine and drinking it slowly.

My face is getting hotter...it must be really red! Seriously, has my alcohol tolerance gotten worse? I feel like I'm going to get drunk...

Eden gently shook her head, savoring the intoxicating feeling that captivated her.

As the snow-white surface of the marshmallow gradually turned golden brown, Eden withdrew his hand, skillfully pinched off the crispy surface, and put it in his mouth. With his lips and teeth closed, he could feel the wonderful crispness and the sweetness that filled his mouth.

Then, sandwich the remaining portion, along with the chocolate, between the cookies, and gently bite into it; a feeling of happiness instantly floods your mind.
