337 Be Embarrassed by Another Couple (2/2)

Su Yan thought about it and finally nodded. ”I guess that makes sense.” He didn't argue further and instead read through the list. His brows furrowed as soon as he started. ”Ah Chang, what kind of milestones are these? 'Have a date in an ancient city', 'Take a moonlight stroll', 'Watch the stars together', 'Watch a fight', 'Be embarrassed by a couple having sex next door'. How are these milestones of a relationship?!”

Nie Chang tightened his lips. Yes, he'd also like to know how these qualified as milestones in a relationship. In the end, he could only sigh. Never mind. As long as reaching these questionable goals could get them back home, he didn't mind. ”Well, this is a xianxia setting. So a couple in this kind of setting would probably have a date in an ancient city and watch fights. We can't forget that the system wants to help you write novels. The milestones probably aren't about ordinary couples like us.”

”Of course, but … the sun hasn't even gone down and you said that before was a cultivator. When did we take a moonlight stroll and watch the stars together?”

The two of them looked up at the sky. The clouds were still tinted in a red glow, even though the sky had otherwise turned gray. The sun couldn't be seen but there weren't any stars either, not to speak about the moon. Most likely, they would need to wait another hour before the first stars appeared.

”Uh …” Nie Chang looked at the list again and finally shrugged his shoulders. ”Maybe the system also wants to go back so it gave us the experience points without waiting for us to actually accomplish the milestones.”

Su Yan frowned. ”But isn't this task about experiencing them?”

”Well … I thought so too but maybe it already counts if we … discover them. I mean we did see that cultivator flying there in the sky and you thought it was a star so maybe the system thought we had noticed that watching the stars together would be very romantic and could be a milestone in a relationship.”

Su Yan harrumphed. ”Maybe … you were just wrong and that wasn't a cultivator at all but a real star!”

Nie Chang grinned and looked up at the sky again. ”Are you sure? Then where is it now?”

Su Yan snorted and crossed his arms in front of his chest. ”How would I know? Maybe it's embarrassed by the couple next door too and hid behind a cloud.”

Nie Chang laughed. ”That's certainly it. Ah, since we've finally found the explanation, how about trying to reach some more milestones? If we hurry, we might be able to return tonight already. Then we'd have the whole weekend back on earth. How does that sound?”

Su Yan pursed his lips and lowered his arms. ”Sounds good! So what do we start with?”

Nie Chang kissed his cheeks and hooked his finger. ”I think I have an idea already. Let's go.”
