"Wow..."
When Asuna and Fang Zheng followed the path to the other side of the hill, seeing the flower field in front of them, Asuna couldn’t help but exclaim in awe.
In front of them, under the silvery moonlight, layers of pure white flowers spread out like an ocean of blossoms, emitting a faint glow in the moonlight. At a glance, this sea of flowers seed endless, and just by looking at this scene, Asuna was instantly captivated.
"So beautiful..."
Staring at the stunning scenery before her, Asuna couldn’t help but express her admiration. She had never seen such a view in reality. After all, Asuna was just a girl, and she had imagined herself being amidst such a beautiful scene one day. Standing at the edge of the flower field, looking at the sea of flowers in front of her, Asuna even felt like she was dreaming.
"Hoo..."
A gentle breeze blew past, causing the white flowers to sway, and specks of light appeared from the flowers, fluttering up into the sky with the wind.
"......"
Watching this dreamlike scene, Asuna held her breath, staring dumbfounded at the beauty before her, then turned her head to look at Fang Zheng. Finally, Asuna took a deep breath and softly asked.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, do you... like ?"
"Of course."
In response to Asuna’s question, Fang Zheng nodded. Hearing Fang Zheng’s answer seed to give Asuna a bit of courage.
"Then, what do you like about ?"
"Hmm..."
This ti, Fang Zheng pondered for a mont.
"Mainly because you’re pretty."
"...Eh?"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s answer, Asuna was taken aback. It wasn’t the first ti she had been complinted by a man, but based on her experience, n usually praised her temperant or character. A straightforward answer like Fang Zheng’s... was sothing she had never heard before.
"Just... that?"
"What else?"
Fang Zheng glanced at Asuna.
"A person’s first impression of another is based on appearance, right? If you weren’t pretty, you wouldn’t catch my attention, and I wouldn’t be interested in getting to know more about you, right? Or do you see it differently? If I looked like Klein, would you be interested in my personality?"
The Klein Fang Zheng ntioned was the leader of the mid-level guild "Fenglin Volcano." Although his guild wasn’t a top-tier raid group, it was considered decent support. Fang Zheng had interacted with him a few tis. Klein looked like an ordinary, down-on-his-luck office worker, with a bit of lecherousness. Of course... what Fang Zheng admired most was Klein’s persistence in flirting with NPCs every day...
From one perspective, being so desperate as to not even spare NPCs was pretty terrifying.
But from another angle, only being able to flirt with NPCs was quite pathetic.
"Uh..."
Hearing Fang Zheng’s counter-question, a slightly embarrassed expression appeared on Asuna’s face.
"Then, what about other aspects?"
"That’s it."
"...Eh? That’s it??"
"Yeah, if I like you, naturally I’ll like everything about you, be it strengths or weaknesses. If I truly like you, I wouldn’t mind these things. Even if you’re clumsy or can’t do things right, in my eyes, you’re just adorably clumsy. If you try hard to change your flaws, that would make you even more adorable."
At this, Fang Zheng gave Asuna a slight smile. Asuna imdiately blushed and lowered her head.
"Mr. Fang Zheng... are you teasing ?"
"I’m just telling the truth."
Looking at Asuna, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but smile. As he said, humans are visual creatures; being good-looking allows one to do as they please.
Just as he said those things earlier, if it were a short, fat, unattractive guy saying "hehehe, everything my wife does is right," he would probably be considered a creep.
Yet, seeing Asuna’s reaction now, it was clear she wasn’t angry at all.
That’s certainly not because Fang Zheng was speaking universal truths.
"Ah..."
At that mont, Asuna suddenly let out a gasp and then showed a delighted smile.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, the first task is complete!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Asuna’s words, Fang Zheng quickly looked over, and Asuna was staring at the task panel in front of her, which showed the task as completed... but soon, a second task was refreshed.
[Task: Rosalie’s mory]
[Requirent: Rosalie rembers the sweet monts with her boyfriend in this flower sea, where in a warm and cozy dream, they embraced each other and sealed their love with a kiss. Now, she wants to relive this beautiful mory...]
"......"
Seeing the task prompt, Asuna’s face instantly flushed red.
Although the task information was simple, and the conditions were obvious... but... but... it was a kiss!
Thinking of this, Asuna didn’t know what to say for a mont.
This was her first kiss!
Did it have to be given away here in such a way??
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing Asuna standing there, bewildered, Fang Zheng raised an eyebrow.
"Did the second task refresh? What is it?"
"It’s... it’s... it’s..."
Asuna stamred for a long ti, then she bit her lip and looked down.
"It’s... kissing..."
"......"
Indeed, this was the traditional course of a love story...
Seeing Asuna’s blushing face, Fang Zheng thought for a mont and then his eyes lit up.
"Asuna, close your eyes."
"Eh?"
Hearing Fang Zheng’s command, Asuna was startled, but her long-trained instincts made her obediently close her eyes. Suddenly, all Asuna could see was pitch black.
The girl at that mont was completely tense.
Was Fang Zheng really going to kiss her?
Wait, what should I do?
How should I react?
Should I hold my breath?
However, just as Asuna was lost in wild thoughts, she suddenly felt a warm sensation on her cheek, and the next mont, the pleasant notification sound of task completion appeared by her ear.
...Eh?
Asuna opened her eyes in surprise, only to see that the second task had already been completed in front of her.
"How is it? Is the task completed?"
Fang Zheng lifted his head and asked, looking at Asuna. Facing Fang Zheng’s question, Asuna felt a bit disappointed, yet relieved and regretful... it was as if a mix of emotions erupted inside her, and she didn’t know what to say.
Ultimately, she sighed helplessly.
"It’s completed..."
