Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

......

"Haha, what a coincidence to run into you here."

"You're here too?! What a coincidence!"

"Oh, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

"..."

Standing in the corner of the sidewalk, Celine faced the wall, repeatedly trying to figure out how to greet the rain when it was about to start.

No matter how she tried to explain, she was still somewhat dissatisfied. Frustrated and irritable, she dragged her hair, covered her head, and squatted down on the ground.

How did I become so pathetic? Honestly...

Feeling extremely wronged, she recalled her own experiences.

She was too embarrassed to accept Seele and the others' invitation, and seeing them now would be incredibly awkward for her.

After finding out which area Nangong Yu had gone during a casual chat, Xilin, bored, canceled her live stream and took the tram to the same area, hoping to try her luck and have a chance encounter.

She hadn't had much hope, but she was really lucky to run into him.

She didn't pay much attention to the woman chatting and laughing with Yu.

She looks like a married woman in her thirties. Surely Yu wouldn't stoop to becoming a traitor like Cao Cao?

Quietly lying in ambush on the path Nangong Yu would inevitably take to leave, Xilin began her previous practice.

By now, the rain should be almost over.

The thought of meeting her soon made Xilin feel a little hesitant.

Was it too embarrassing for me to chase after her like this? Maybe I should just give up. What if Yu looks down on me...?

The urge to escape grew stronger, and just as Celine was about to convince herself, a surprised voice came from behind her.

"Celine?"

Chapter 139 Husband?

Celine immediately turned her head and saw... a pair of legs.

She looked up and saw the somewhat surprised face. She quickly stood up from her squatting position, and threw the hair she had been holding to prevent it from falling to the ground behind her head.

Her face quickly flushed red, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.

How could someone have seen me squatting there so undignifiedly? This is so incredibly embarrassing!

"Boss, is he your friend?"

Beside her, Ms. Izumi, who had come out with her, asked in surprise.

What an adorable little girl! Her underwear must be so cute. I almost want to draw some erotic pictures of her...

"Yeah, he's my friend."

Ignoring Sirin for now, Nangong Yu looked at the two Eromanga teachers and said, "I'm sorry, I probably won't be able to take you back."

Upon hearing this, and seeing Sirin's flushed face, Ms. Izumi, thinking she understood something, immediately gave an 'I know' smile, took a few steps to distance herself from them, then turned around and waved with a smile: "Don't worry, boss, my home is nearby. You should spend more time with your girlfriend~"

When talking about her girlfriend, Ms. Izumi even raised her eyebrows playfully a couple of times.

"What? What girlfriend? We're not in that kind of relationship!!"

Before Nangong Yu could speak, Xilin blushed and retorted.

"Okay, I understand, I understand. Boss and Boss's wife, have fun! I'm going to head back now!"

Watching Izumi leave with a smirk, Nangong Yu could only shake his head helplessly.

Then, he looked at Xilin, who had been standing beside him with her head down since her rebuttal, constantly fidgeting with the hem of her clothes, and asked with some doubt, "Weren't you supposed to have a party today... Well, it's normal that you didn't go."

Hearing this, Xilin lowered her head even further.

"So, you came all this way specifically to find me? How did you know I was here?"

"..."

Xilin remained silent, which gave Nangong Yu a headache.

"Ah, really..."

The distressed tone made Celine bite her lip, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"I, I'll go back..."

"So, we still have a lot of time today. Do you have time to go out and have some fun with me?"

Suppressing her sobs, her stubborn voice hadn't finished speaking when a voice full of laughter made her look up in astonishment.

"Oh dear, it seems my invitation was rejected by the beautiful girl~"

Seeing that Xilin was stunned for a while, Nangong Yu deliberately said in a 'sad' tone.

"I-I didn't!"

Xilin quickly raised her arm to wipe her reddened eyes, sniffed, and then said with feigned composure, "Since you've extended an invitation, then I'll keep you company for a while."

Because of the sudden change in her emotions, Xilin's voice couldn't help but pause a few times, and her already rosy cheeks looked even redder.

"Let's go then."

"Um!!"

......

On the way to the movie theater after leaving the aquarium.

No longer so shy, Xilin walked beside Nangong Yu.

While absentmindedly responding to Nangong Yu's voice, she kept glancing at his gently swaying hand.

They weren't far apart. Feeling the back of her hand brush against hers from time to time, and sensing the lingering warmth on it, she clenched her fist, raised it, and then lowered it again.

Just as she was debating whether to be bolder and whether that would annoy Yu, Xilin suddenly felt her hand being held.

Without looking at their clasped hands, she first looked up in surprise, and then met a warm smile that made her blush and her heart race.

This, this, this...

Not daring to look into Yu's eyes again, Xilin felt her heart pounding wildly, her face flushing red for what felt like the umpteenth time that day.

Is this a response to her?

So, the rain also affects me...

Xilin thought to herself, wanting to ask but not daring to speak.

"what happened?"

A calm voice came from behind her. Celine, head bowed, replied hastily in a soft voice, "No, it's nothing!"

Why is Yu so calm? Doesn't this make her, who's usually so shy, look like an idiot?!

Or is holding hands just an ordinary thing for him?

For a moment, Xilin's heart began to waver again.

"I'll go buy the tickets!!"

As soon as they arrived at the movie theater, Xilin grabbed Nangong Yu and volunteered to run to the front desk.

Nangong Yu had no objection, shrugged, and walked to the snack section to buy popcorn and cola.

After getting his ticket checked and entering the movie theater, he noticed the rows of double sofas arranged for couples. Holding his Coke, he turned his gaze and immediately saw Xilin, whose eyes were constantly darting around.

It would be quite amusing to tease him at this moment, wouldn't it?

Suppressing the thought that would probably make Xilin feel incredibly ashamed, Nangong Yu simply smiled and walked towards their seats under Xilin's relieved gaze.

Xilin quickly followed suit, sitting down next to Nangong Yu after he sat down.

Okay, so close...

There was only a very narrow gap between the two of them. Sitting there, Xilin could feel the warmth coming from beside her, and Yu's hand casually landed beside hers, her fingertips gently touching.

The lights in the screening room were turned off at the right moment, and the sound of the movie started, filling the audience's ears and blocking out the subtle noise.

With a bold move, Xilin opened her arms and slowly moved them closer to the side, then gently closed them as her heart pounded.

I've got it!

Feeling the large, unyielding hand in her palm, Sirin cheered with a sense of victory.

But on the surface, she acted as if nothing had happened, sitting there motionless, her eyes fixed on the large screen in front of her, as if the movie was incredibly captivating.

The movie was really good.

Although Celine was a little distracted at first, she was quickly drawn in by the movie's plot and became completely engrossed in it.

As the movie progressed to its halfway point, nearing its end, Xilin, having just finished watching the climax, let out a long sigh of relief and immediately turned to Yu, eager to share her feelings.

But just then, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

My own actions changed without me even realizing it.

What started as a simple hand-holding has now escalated to the point where she's tightly wrapped her arm around Yu's chest, and she's leaning against him.

Realizing the current situation, before she could even think about the close body, the obvious pressure coming from her chest made Xilin freeze instantly.

Ugh!!!

Suppressing the sound that almost escaped her throat, Xilin's face quickly became burning hot, and she tightly closed her eyes, turning into an ostrich, shrinking her body and not daring to move.

Even after doing something like this, why hasn't Yu said anything?!

It wasn't what she thought; the rain really wasn't for her...

Every cell in her body seemed to leap with joy, and Celine couldn't help but start daydreaming.

In that case, the first date should start with holding hands, followed by a hug after three dates, and a kiss after ten. Ideally, it would be at the highest point of the Ferris wheel, where you would confess your feelings to each other, and then take Yu to meet your parents. After that, you can do those... embarrassing things...

what! ! ! ! ! !

Overwhelmed by her own fantasies, Xilin almost cried out.
