297 Darling, Let’s Cultivate Together! (1/2)

Thanks to Shen Lu's failure of intervening with the system once more, Su Yan and Nie Chang still stood there and were faced with the same list of tasks.

Even though Su Yan wanted to agree with Nie Chang and just do something else but … he also wanted to go home. And sooner or later they had to do these tasks anyway, hadn't they? ”How about … just taking that shower together?”

Nie Chang sighed. ”I doubt you there are showers in this world.”

Su Yan pursed his lips. ”Well … Nobody said it had to be a shower. We could just use a waterfall with spiritual water or something.”

Nie Chang glanced at him. Excuse him for being skeptical but wasn't this the person that had refused to come out of bed before because the weather in August was too cold, even requiring his boyfriend to climb below the blanket and forcefully put some clothes onto his body before he could be dragged out of bed? And if he remembered correctly, then a certain person always adjusted the water to be at least lukewarm if not even outrageously hot. ”Darling … Do you think someone will make the effort to heat the water up for you?”

Su Yan looked back at him and blinked. It took a few seconds until understanding dawned in his eyes. ”You mean … the water will be cold?!”

Nie Chang nodded gravely. ”Very, very cold.”

Su Yan grasped his arm and looked pitifully at him. ”Then … let's not take the shower?”

”Alright.” Nie Chang very sensibly nodded at this suggestion. He hadn't been the one to ask for that shower in the first place.

Su Yan stared at the system again. If they didn't take the shower together, what should they do then? It still wasn't Friday so they couldn't just go and have sex, could they?

Su Yan pondered the issue but finally felt that it wasn't the time yet. They had already agreed on Friday. He shouldn't try to change things now. That would just make it awkward.

But then what? The call was out of the question. Besides the other things he had read before, there was also a task of having ten dates. They had been on three dates already if going shopping, visiting his parents, and going to a park all counted. So they would need another seven to fulfill this task. Even if they went out once a day and dates in this world counted, they would still need a full week to finish the task! That was way too long. By then, people would already have found out that they had vanished and they would get into trouble.

So was there nothing they could do? Why were there only so few milestones?

Su Yan pursed his lips and stared at the system with dissatisfaction. ”System, aren't there any other milestones? It can't be that that is all that will happen in a relationship, can it?”

[There is a multitude of different milestones that can be achieved in a relationship. Only the most common of them will be displayed in the 'upcoming milestones' list.]
