This is not the date I wanted.

Humans are greedy creatures. Liangyi Mengyue has always believed this.

Once you have something you want, you rarely regard it as a special treasure. Instead, you take it for granted and get used to it. Then, after it loses its novelty or even becomes boring, you move on to the next thing.

Mengyue does not think this is wrong. Just like how humans evolved from backward primitive civilization to today's high technology, cars and airplanes were invented because people did not want to walk, and telephones and the Internet appeared because people thought writing letters was too slow. Greed is one of the indispensable driving forces for human progress.

Rather, she doesn't like people who are content with the status quo and stop moving forward.

However, this does not mean that people can be greedy without restraint.

If you don't know how to be content, don't use reason to curb your greed, ignore your surroundings, and just rush towards your goal, you will most likely end up with regret or even despair.

Mengyue doesn’t think she is a lucky person, but she doesn’t want to say that she is an unfortunate person either.

She had always wanted many things that others thought were of little value and taken for granted, but she could not get them. But even so, something she wanted still appeared in her hands.

and so……

——————————————————————This is the dividing line for entering the main text——————————————————

I will never wear high heels again!

Looking at the checkered carpet that was getting closer and bigger in her field of vision, Meng Yue swore angrily in her heart.

Just a few seconds ago, Mengyue finally reflected on the mistakes she had made before, and prepared to concentrate and use all her means to conquer Shidao.

But to say that we are concentrating is actually to say that we are relaxing in a certain sense.

For a moment, she forgot that she was wearing high heels, and the moment her nerves were tense, she subconsciously returned to her normal pace. As a result, her center of gravity shifted, causing the sole of her shoe to slip, and the whole person fell to the ground uncontrollably.

As if she could foresee herself falling on the carpet in a few seconds, Meng Yue closed her eyes tightly.

However, the reality was different from what Meng Yue had imagined. An obstacle appeared in front of her and prevented her from falling.

"...?"

With some doubt, Mengyue slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Shidao's face close to her.

"How is Mengyue? Is she not hurt?"

"Yeah, yeah...it's okay. Thanks, Shidao."

Meng Yue nodded gently, and then she realized that she was in Shidao's arms. Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she stood up awkwardly and left Shidao's arms.

"You're welcome. Rather, it's a rare opportunity to see Meng Yue fall down in high heels, so I'm lucky."

Shidou showed a slightly evil smile on his face.

Seeing that Shidao was actually making fun of his failure, Mengyue curled her lips in dissatisfaction. However, when she thought that she was on her way to conquer Shidao, she gave up the idea of ​​arguing.

"Oh? So were you moved by my cute and adorable appearance when I was wrestling just now?"

"What a pity. If you think I'm so easy to deal with, you're too naive, Mengyue!"

Shidou shrugged and said helplessly,

"I was a little moved when I saw you in a dress, but the fall just now made me feel like, 'Ah, it's Meng Yue after all.' The throbbing in my heart has completely calmed down."

"Um—are you looking down on me?"

Although her recklessness ruined the atmosphere she had worked so hard to create, Mengyue was still a little annoyed and angry when Shidao pointed it out so bluntly.

"Even if it's me, I can do something to make your heart flutter!"

"Throat—Okay, I'll look forward to it."

Shidou looked at Mengyue with interest.

(Hmm… since things have come to this, I will do it even if Lingyin sends me an embarrassing order. Eh? Ah?)

Meng Yue hurriedly touched her right ear, and the wireless earphones that were originally worn on her ear were gone.

"Could it be that, Mengyue, you are looking for this?"

Just when Mengyue was anxiously wondering where her headphones had fallen, Shidao suddenly took out a pendant and waved it in front of Mengyue's eyes. It was the wireless headphones that Mengyue was looking for.

"Uh--Shidou, why is that thing in your hand?"

Meng Yue asked with a stiff expression.

"I noticed it when I was holding you up, so I took it off."

"I think so...hahaha."

In response to Shidao's friendly and bright smile, Mengyue could only let out an awkward and dry laugh.

"Um... I'm sorry Shidou, can you give me back my headphones?"

"Don't~"

Shidou refused in a light tone.

"..."

Although she tried to take the headphones back unexpectedly, when she leaned forward, Meng Yue suddenly felt that her body was about to lose balance again, and she could only remain stiff and motionless.

"Shidou, everyone says that you are a very gentle and gentleman now, why do you seem to me to be more malicious than before?"

Meng Yue glared at Shidao with eyes full of resentment.

Using wireless headphones to communicate with Reine and the others about how to conquer elves is something Shidou often does. So when the elves put on the headphones to conquer, Shidou must have noticed this. He pretended to know nothing about other people, so why couldn't he be considerate and turn a blind eye when it came to himself?

"That's not right, Mengyue. When we were dating before, didn't you hate it when I was talking to Lingyin and the others while dating you? So now I want to date you without headphones, it shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

"Well--"

Meng Yue was speechless. She suddenly felt depressed as if she had just lifted a rock and dropped it on her foot.

(What should I do?)

Meng Yue was a little overwhelmed for a moment, and couldn't help looking at everyone for help. However, everyone just responded with a smile of encouragement.

"It's rude to look away from your date, Mengyue."

Shidou poked Meng Yue's face to force her to turn her head, and then he smiled brightly.

"I'm really looking forward to it. How will Meng Yue make me fall in love with her?"

"Of course!"

Meng Yue responded defiantly, sweat slightly on her forehead and her brain started working quickly.

(Learn to dance like in Koto? No, I might fall if I take a step in my high heels now, and I don’t know how to dance ballroom, so I’ll just make a fool of myself. Singing? If I can’t beat Miku, I’ll just bring about my own destruction. Otherwise, I can just play the role of a reckless girl and have skin contact? But judging from Shidou’s reaction, I don’t think I’d like that. Otherwise, I can just pump Shidou with semen - I’m not Origami, how can I possibly carry that kind of stuff with me!!!)

The more she thought about it, the more confused she felt. She usually went on dates without taking them too seriously and just let things take their course. As a result, Meng Yue, whose single time was equal to her age in her previous life combined with her age in this life, suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"Unfortunately, the time is up! Mengyue, you will be punished next."

"Eh? Wait?! You never told me about time limits and punishments! I protest! I want to protest!"

"Protests are invalid! Hey--"

“Ugh!?”

Meng Yue couldn't help but make a panicked sound as she was carried off the ground completely against her will.

"Next, let's go to the third date location."

Amid everyone's surprised gazes, Shidou maintained the princess-carrying posture and disappeared in the hall holding Mengyue.

PS: School is about to start, so I will stop updating for a few days to regroup.

17 The Answer Hidden in the Heart (Part )

==============================

"Okay, let's stop here."

After stopping, Shidou smiled and gently put Meng Yue down. Although she was a little unsteady in her high heels, the feeling of being on solid ground still made her feel at ease.

"I was a little tough, please forgive me, Mengyue."

"It's more than a little tough... Never mind."

Meng Yue glared at Shidao with a bit of embarrassment and sighed helplessly.

Looking around, I found that this was the lounge closest to the ground in the underground facility. There were many vending machines, display screens, ornamental plants, and several tables and chairs along the walls.

Perhaps because the staff were all working in the banquet hall, there was no one else here except Shidao and Mengyue. No lighting equipment such as desk lamps were turned on. Only the bright moonlight shone through the skylight made of one-way transparent glass on the ceiling, becoming the only source of light in the room.

Anyway, this is still inside the underground facility, and Mengyue felt somewhat relieved.

"And? You brought me from the banquet hall to this deserted room. What on earth do you want to do, Shidou? Let me be clear first. I will fight to the death against any obscene thing."

Seeing Mengyue's somewhat wary attitude, Shidao couldn't help but laugh and shook his head to deny it.

"Don't worry about that. I have no interest in forcing myself on women."

"That's it."

Meng Yue nodded gently. In fact, she didn't really think that Shidao would do such a thing, but she hadn't calmed down from the panic yet, and couldn't help but tease.

"The reason why I came here... is actually nothing big. It's simply too gorgeous and I'm a little unaccustomed to it."

Shidou shrugged and replied.

"Well...it's not that I can't understand."

Meng Yue sighed with a wry smile. To be honest, even in her previous life, that kind of high-society ball was a completely unfamiliar world to Meng Yue. Although this was just a scene simulated by Qin Li and the others, it still made Meng Yue so nervous that she couldn't move her hands and feet.

"and……"

"Shidou?"

Meng Yue vaguely heard Shidao whisper something, and couldn't help but show a puzzled expression.

"Nothing. Let's get started, then - our date."

As he said that, Shidou opened his arms, like a magician starting to perform, and with a crisp snap of his fingers, all the tables and chairs around him floated up and moved towards the wall and piled up, freeing up an open flat area.

Then, the music used when dancing with Kotori began to sound all around.

Just when Mengyue thought Shidao was going to invite her to dance, Shidao suddenly took off his leather boots and socks and put them in the corner, and stood barefoot in front of Mengyue.

"Shidou, what are you doing..."

Meng Yue looked at Shidao in confusion.

"Well... to be honest Mengyue, I only had the experience of being led by Kotori once before. I am a complete novice in dancing."

As if feeling somewhat embarrassed, Shidou scratched his cheek awkwardly.

Meng Yue opened her eyes wide in surprise. This was the first time she saw Shidao lose his composure after he went berserk.

(No, maybe I was the one who lost my composure...)

Vaguely understanding Shidao's intention, Mengyue revealed a bitter smile.

"That's true... To be honest, I don't know how to do this kind of ballroom dance. It would be fine if one of them knew how to dance, but if two novices are wearing leather boots and high heels, they will just step on each other's feet and hurt each other."

Meng Yue nodded in agreement, bent down, and took off her high heels. Then -

"I'm never wearing this shit again!!!"

The poor high heels were thrown hard against the wall by Mengyue, and with a loud "snap" sound, they broke into two pieces and became waste.

"Phew—sorry. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for choosing the wrong master."

"Pfft-hahahaha!"

Looking at Meng Yue who looked very proud, Shidao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry, I'm just such a rude girl."

Meng Yue rolled her eyes at Shidao in annoyance.

"No, no. I'm very happy. Mengyue is indeed Mengyue."

Stopping his laughter, Shidou bowed slightly and extended his hand to Mengyue.

"Then, lady, will you dance with me?"

"Of course, it's an honor."

After giving a somewhat pretentious answer, Meng Yue held Shidao's hand and knelt down to bow.

The beautiful melody flowed in this cold and empty room. Shidou recalled the feeling of dancing with Kotori. He held Mengyue's right hand with his left hand, and put his right hand around her slender waist, and slowly rotated and danced in the room.
