Chapter 391: What Can a Single Man and Woman Do When They Live Together for a Night?
When a combination of elements like well-defined features, striking looks, an excellent physique, short hair, a suit, and being an Irish Celt come together, the Return rate naturally skyrockets.
And in this age of internet information, everyone has a phone and can record videos, so such a beautiful sight naturally needs to be captured immediately.
However, what was strange was that whenever they picked up their phones and switched to camera mode, they would all fall into a brief state of distraction, and then forget what they were just doing.
"What kind of rune is this?"
"It's for dispersing idlers. After all, the nature of my work occasionally requires me to act in crowded areas."
Facing Cheng Tian's question, Bazett, who had drawn the Runic script freehand, replied.
Although she, like Cheng Tian, had her equipment forcibly uninstalled, her own skills were still usable. She was actually quite adept at these small tricks to avoid others' gazes and attention.
Bazett was quite aware of her own beauty; what she cared about and was troubled by was only the "lack of femininity."
When facing work contacts and strangers, Bazett's "corporate elite" aura was very strong, and she presented herself as capable and cool. This led many people to proactively retreat during the "pickup" stage, which meant that her "feminine" side was only seen by a very few people with deep contact. Over time, she herself began to feel that she lacked femininity.
"That's quite convenient."
Cheng Tian clicked his tongue twice.
Being forcibly summoned by Cheng Tian to a completely unfamiliar world initially made Bazett a bit uneasy. However, upon learning that this was Cheng Tian's hometown and that she was currently the only person to arrive in Cheng Tian's world, the nature of the situation suddenly changed.
It was, even though no parents were visible, there was a strong sense of "being brought back home for a visit."
This thought lingered in Bazett's mind and wouldn't dissipate.
As someone with unconventional social habits, Cheng Tian neither drank alcohol nor went clubbing. His concept of "fun" was limited to video games, at most including card games. But if you talked about food, there was a lot to discuss.
As everyone knows, Bazett's requirement for food is quantity over quality. But the places Cheng Tian recommended maintained both quality and portion size at a considerably high level, and there were also many buffets where the quality itself was excellent.
At least Cheng Tian had some conscience; he didn't take Bazett to exploit those almost charitable buffets for a dozen yuan. Instead, he opted for the high-end buffets costing several hundred yuan.
Master and servant went all out, devouring food like a whirlwind, almost gnawing on the old king crab employees in the store's sink.
As the eating continued, the restless heart of Bazett was gradually suppressed, although there was still some lingering joy, as if she had taken a step ahead of certain people.
However, when Cheng Tian took her to a supermarket and bought a complete set of dental hygiene products, towels, bath towels, bed sheets, duvet covers, and a series of new toiletries and bedding, Bazett's previously suppressed restless heart began to pound again.
"Master, what are these things for?"
"It's a stayover kit, right? I can't just let you use my things, can I? Or do you want to go back to Heaven's Chosen Space to stay?"
Cheng Tian replied as if it were the most natural thing, and Bazett visibly stammered, nodding and shaking her head, which Cheng Tian found amusing.
In Heaven's Chosen Space, Bazett had an independent room in Cheng Tian's private space, which she could decorate according to her needs. However, Bazett's room style was also strongly "pure prison" themed, with nothing but a bed for sleeping and a closet for clothes.
As for the dining table and personal hygiene, she shared the same ones with Cheng Tian, for reasons unknown to him. So, strictly speaking, they had already been living together for a while.
However, because there was also Uhtan's room in the house, and ancient creatures from the wild next door would occasionally intrude, there was a feeling of a large family living together, which diluted the atmosphere of a man and woman cohabiting.
But now, it was truly a single man and woman living in the same house, and it was an old house that Cheng Tian himself had already made comfortable.
Bazett instinctively wanted to refuse, yet she also felt a bit reluctant, even unsure of what exactly she was reluctant to give up.
Since there was no objection, it meant agreement. The matter was settled.
As for the evening activities, of course, we couldn't miss—
Snap!
Cheng Tian's non-original Famicom controller shattered completely, dying once again in the hands of a guilt-ridden Bazett.
And at this very moment, the old television screen in front of them displayed the pause screen of the original Famicom Contra.
Bazett, who was experiencing video games for perhaps the first time in her life, quickly understood how to use the controller thanks to her high agility and dynamic vision. However, Cheng Tian hadn't expected Bazett to be the type who would passionately interact with the controller during gameplay.
Take the recent demise of the controller, for example: when a bullet shot over from the opposite side, Bazett shrieked and vigorously pulled and shook the controller, while mashing the jump button. As a result, her grip was a little too strong, and the already not-so-sturdy controller was directly crushed by her.
Yes, her thumb pressed directly through the controller, giving the fragile chips inside no chance for redemption.
Incidentally, Bazett at this moment was, of course, not dressed in her signature red bean suit for male impersonators, but rather had simply donned one of Cheng Tian's anime-themed T-shirts.
This anime T-shirt was a Uniqlo Dragon Ball collaboration that Cheng Tian had bought years ago, with a print of Frieza in his first form on the front, accompanied by a speech bubble above it that read, "My power level is 530,000."
And due to Bazett's own formidable physique, the half-body portrait of the Great King was stretched to deformation, and the "My power level is 530,000" speech bubble was forced to point at Bazett's two 'baby granaries'.
Although Bazett's height was a full 172 cm, her overall physique was still no match for Cheng. A large T-shirt could be worn directly as a nightgown, with the hem just covering her upper thighs, subtly revealing something without actually exposing it.
"Do you want to switch to a different game?"
Cheng Tian thoughtfully offered a suggestion.
As he made the suggestion, his gaze did not leave the remnants of the controller piled up nearby.
"No! It's this one! I must clear it today!"
Once Bazett's stubbornness kicked in, no one could stop her.
Cheng Tian expressed his satisfaction with his successful evangelism, then turned around and immediately placed an order for a pile of controllers to be delivered by express mail.
The result was that the lights in Cheng Tian's house stayed on until the sun rose—
The two of them, having played all night, had completed all official Contra games. The final screen was frozen on the ending of "Contra: Hard Corps" where they traveled through the dinosaur age...
