How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

"Aha?"

Hong Li raised an eyebrow, tugging at Hei Yang's pants: "So you don't consider this place your home?"

"Don't be so mean."

Hei Yang calmly tugged at Hong Li's tightly wrapped shirt, glanced at her, and said nothing more.

"Oh, this, I..."

Hong Li's expression froze.

"What's with this? Being strict with others but lenient with yourself?"

Hei Yang opened the first gift box, and purple light overflowed. Hmm, he underperformed.

"It's normal for couples to be like this, and there's underwear inside, so it's a kind of psychological comfort."

But we both know that we'll just find an excuse to delay things after we get married, because we're scared!

Hei Yang said softly, "A man and a woman alone in a room, those who know, know."

In other words, cultivators have strong willpower and are not so easily controlled by hormones such as dopamine, but their love for each other is genuine.

"I don't like Xiao Li"—Hei Yang couldn't even bring himself to say it out loud, let alone silently or even think about it in his mind. He was unwilling to do it either.

When facing Hong Li, Hei Yang is always consistent inside and out.

His heart was far from as calm as his words suggested; on the contrary, the tiger within him craved love and roared incessantly, yet fearing that its sharp teeth and claws would harm the one he cherished, he forced himself to linger in place.

This feeling wasn't actually painful; rather, it was somewhat peculiar, making Hei Yang constantly aware that there was someone whose every smile and frown touched his heartstrings.

If I had to describe this feeling, it would probably be itchy.

Just let things take their course; it will happen sooner or later...

The two tried to convince themselves of this, pretending to be indifferent, but their behavior was somewhat childish and ridiculous; their budding romance left them feeling a little lost.

Hei Yang quietly savored the feeling. He knew it was a beautiful memory in his life, and he didn't think there was anything shameful about it.

When children grow up and look back at their past "dark history" and "immature remarks," many people feel ashamed.

Hei Yang didn't feel much shame, perhaps because he was still immature, or perhaps because he was looking at himself from the perspective of an outsider.

It's also possible that he never felt ashamed of it. He used to think he was cool, but now... haha, I used to be so cool!

As children, our imaginations were so rich, the world in our eyes so colorful, and our actions were unconventional and our words were full of creative and pioneering ideas.

A group of people defeated by reality, their hearts gradually becoming numb, have lost their "unrealistic daydreams." Without the ability to fantasize, how can they have the nerve to turn around and laugh at others' "juvenile" or "childish" behavior?

You should face reality.

You know this is impossible.

"This is utter nonsense."

Because his own imagined kingdom collapsed, he wanted to tear down others' as well, exposing them to the so-called cruel reality and subjecting them to the harsh realities of society.

They tamed tiger cubs into sheep and then threw them into the wolf pack.

Having seen so much white since childhood, I suddenly thought that gray was the ultimate black.

If the price of maturity is the loss of happiness and the ability to imagine, then what is the point of maturity?

How can we contribute to making the world a better place?

But because of my existence, isn't there just one more unhappy person in this world...?

Wandering in this way, those who overthrow others' kingdoms try to build new houses to ward off the harshness of reality, and call it faith.

……

Hei Yang believed that since his life was still flowing, he should wholeheartedly enjoy everything in his life—and the suffering was something he added later.

Two pairs of dull, lifeless eyes, as if they didn't care about anything, as if they didn't care about anything.

In reality, they are the most sensitive people; their bodies don't want to move, but their minds are constantly wandering.

They cautiously explored the world, afraid of offending anyone with their every move, and the unfamiliar environment made them uneasy.

Therefore, they choose not to do anything, believing that this is the right thing to do, and they won't step out of their comfort zone until it collapses.

They even continuously reinforce their comfort zone, making it unbreakable.

The price of this is that it is difficult to grow, there is no change, and perhaps many years later, it will still be the same as it was at the beginning.

Hei Yang didn't want to think about so much; he just wanted to be happy.

He could easily have come up with some high-sounding reasons, such as the difficulty of leaving one's homeland, the importance of staying true to one's original aspirations, or the heart of a child...

He was too lazy to find a reason, and who would he even bother to give one to?

So, they lay down, stopped moving, and lost all ambition...

Ah, thinking about it that way, Tao Yuanming seems to have been a lazy person too...

He couldn't change that era, nor could he change the world, so he might as well retire...

Arrogant thoughts raced through Hei Yang's mind, with extreme arrogance and extreme inferiority constantly alternating in his heart, yet his expression remained unchanged.

Yes, he can't change the whole world, but he can create a new one. For example, the girl next to him is his world.

Hei Yang was in a state of confusion and could only distract himself by opening the gift boxes.

Ah, the second one is also purple. My condition today is ridiculously bad...

"actually……"

Hongli rubbed Heiyang's leg and suddenly squeezed out a sentence in a low voice.

"Actually, you can try it. I'm wearing a bra and stuff... there's nothing to be shy about, right?"

"Ah, yes..."

Hei Yang's lips curled up slightly, all thoughts vanished from his mind. He could feel the girl's soft hand on his lap, hear her beating heart, her breathing, and the sound of her blood flowing. The warmth beside him brought him peace of mind.

The third one, gold, is somewhat normal.

The fourth one, gold, feels like it's gradually coming back to normal.

The fifth one, gold, feels good.

"..."

"Hoo, ha, hoo, ha..."

Hong Li muttered a slogan under her breath while her hands continued to work on Hei Yang's legs.

"How was it, Hei Yang? Was our family's ancestral Hong Family Massage Technique comfortable?!"

"If my memory hasn't been altered, I remember the Hong family didn't have any ancestral massage techniques..."

Hei Yang looked down at Hong Li with a blank expression.
