Chapter 20

Today, Arnold went to inspect a distant planet within his Star Domain territory, far away from here.

Fu Yue was also notified to accompany him. This made her very happy as she had been staying at home doing nothing. She arrived early at the spaceship parking spot and waited.

When the spaceship door opened, she obediently stood at the cargo bay entrance, waiting for Arnold to carry her up.

However, when she went to get her hoverboard, she found it was completely broken. The supposedly very tough mother-of-pearl crystal was shattered in half when she discovered it, as if it had been snapped by someone.

Dishonest merchants exist everywhere with a clear conscience… As Arnold approached, she skillfully raised her arm and her boss carried her onto the spaceship like this.

Ever since Arnold held Fu Yue for a long time after she got drunk last time, she felt that now her boss holding her had plenty of experience.

In his arms, Fu Yue didn’t feel any discomfort being held, instead she felt the arms around her waist were just right, not too tight or too loose.

It was a bit embarrassing to be carried like a child with her bottom lifted up, but sitting up high the view was perfect without any obstacles. The higher position indeed offered a wider view.

Without realizing it, Fu Yue was led by Arnold all the way to the driver’s seat. When Arnold sat in the driver’s seat, she then realized that her position seemed to be in the waiting area outside.

She climbed up, trying to leave without realizing what was happening.

A large hand reached out from behind and held her shoulder, controlling her movements. Then another hand wrapped around her waist, pulling out a semi-transparent strap from the corner of the driver’s seat and disappearing after hooking it on the other side.

Arnold’s steady voice came from above, "Fasten your seatbelt, then you can move around."

Fu Yue, "?" Is the problem here?

Moreover… Remember last time when you were drunk, you never fastened the seatbelt.

The strange seatbelt buckle disappeared once fastened, and Arnold indeed let her go after that.

Fu Yue tried to move her body and realized she could only move within the driver’s seat and couldn’t get off the ground.

Is this the new work content?

Unable to leave, Fu Yue imagined herself bravely calling Arnold a dog’s head, and then raised her head to her boss with a mysterious smile.

Leaning directly against her boss, today was another day of forced work.

Fu Yue, skilled at embracing the mindset of "when in Rome," immediately claimed the space Arnold had cleared in front of the chair as her new territory. The seat, which she hadn’t properly experienced last time while drunk, felt soft, bouncy, and almost like it was trying to suck her in.

It’s so comfortable to sit here.

And now, she could enjoy the view of the dazzling universe reflected in the full-view glass. Fu Yue took out a cup of milk tea from her mini space she had recently bought.

She sipped her drink while admiring the journey.

Arnold, who was on top of the head, quickly got used to the situation and then gently lay on his chest, straightening his waist without a trace.

After activating the autopilot system, he reached out his hand and started to gently touch her head and rub her belly, enjoying the brief experience of petting the small pet.

After getting off the spaceship and finishing their tasks, Arnold took Fu Yue to stroll around the city on the planet.

Without a skateboard, to avoid getting lost like before, Arnold quietly became her means of transportation. Fu Yue sat on his arm and they started their shopping spree without uttering a word.

"General," Fu Yue spotted a good shop across the street and tapped Arnold’s arm, signaling him to go over.

But this time Arnold didn’t move, he walked to a place called the "Couples Freedom Party Experience Center" on the street and stopped.

Fu Yue had also searched online for similar experience centers, hearing that not only could the scenes be simulated inside, but even touch virtual characters could feel real. Perfect for those who want to experience the atmosphere of parties and festivals in different environments.

"Are we going in?" Fu Yue’s tone was upbeat, with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Arnold nodded, "Yes."

After paying, they were led into a small room meant for two people, where the menu caught their eyes.

"You choose," Arnold said without any preference.

"Hmm!" Fu Yue had been staring at the menu intently and started to carefully make her selection.

However, there were too many different races and their festivals inside. In the end, Fu Yue, who couldn’t make up her mind, chose an ordinary dance party held by a race that resembled humans.

Once she pressed the confirm button, the room immediately darkened. Fu Yue instinctively grabbed the hand of the person next to her.

Arnold felt the small hand trembling in his palm and then it stayed still.

Suddenly, Fu Yue and Arnold found themselves in a primitive tribal bonfire gathering. But the ground beneath their feet seemed to be a glowing land floating in the sky.

The touch sensation here was extremely lifelike. The indigenous people kindly handed a torch to Fu Yue. She took it and could actually feel the texture of the tree bark on the torch very vividly. The scene realistically recreated the interaction of lighting the torch.

At one point, she almost failed to light the torch properly because she held it unsteadily due to her lack of strength. Realizing her own weakness, Fu Yue quickly switched to holding the torch with both hands and successfully lit it. She then satisfactorily inserted the torch into the designated spot.

Wow, that’s great!

While she was on the Blue Star, during her boring university days, she would sometimes watch videos. Occasionally, she would come across a documentary and see how other people lived. She never imagined that one day, she would experience something like that herself.

Influenced by the atmosphere inside, Fu Yue quickly pulled Arnold into the crowd to start dancing.

To say it like that doesn’t seem accurate enough. Actually, Fu Yue awkwardly tried to follow the local music and dance to the beat, while Arnold stood at attention beside her.

Then Fu Yue mimicked the dance steps of the locals for a while, while Arnold stubbornly stood in the crowd practicing standing still.

Occasionally, Fu Yue would glance at him, silently mocking him in her heart and thinking how he didn’t fit in. She would even jokingly send him a message in her head saying, "General, are you here to inspect the situation? Please put your hands behind your back, it will look more like a leadership inspection!"

Of course, Arnold wouldn’t understand Fu Yue’s complicated thoughts. He would just look at her with a bit of confusion before returning to stand expressionless.

So Fu Yue had to give up on this unique leader and make an effort to blend into the festival.

By the time Fu Yue could barely keep up with the movements, other girls had already begun to showcase their ethnic features by dancing around a pole. And Fu Yue, without changing her expression, danced around a stationary Arnold, following his moves and laughing along.

Finally finished a section. During the intermission, Fu Yue wiped her sweat and happily said to Arnold, "General, the scene and tasks here feel so real, it’s just the space that remains the same. After jumping for a while, I’m afraid I might accidentally jump into the wall and hit it."

"Really… We can find a bigger space," Arnold replied.

"It’s okay. The most important thing is that once we leave this room, this rare feeling of being fully immersed will disappear, it would be such a waste."

Besides, she was just expressing her emotions.

Arnold disagreed, "Having two people standing here also takes up space and air inside, your slightly oxygen-deprived state right now is the best proof."

After saying that, Arnold left without another word.

Is he going to change rooms or does he suddenly have some urgent matter to attend to?

Before Fu Yue could figure it out, the bonfire party started again. Anyway, he should be back soon, she thought, preparing to dance while waiting for the boss’s return.

But halfway through the dance, Arnold still showed no sign of returning.

Fu Yue slowly stopped her cheerful steps.

She initially thought Arnold’s departure wouldn’t affect her much. After all, he was just standing still here like a statue.

She was wrong.

After Arnold didn’t return, she suddenly realized that everyone else was dancing in pairs here. She was the only one dancing energetically alone.

Suddenly, she became the most beautiful singleton here.

No wonder this place is called a couple experience hall, single people coming in will get hurt.

After being hurt for a while, Fu Yue couldn’t bear it any longer and decided to exit the experience, ready to find Arnold.

However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw General Arnold standing meticulously at the door. From his appearance, he had been standing there for quite a while.

Fu Yue, "Why doesn’t the general come in?"

Arnold, "I think having one less person inside will make it better for your breathing and playing experience."

So, did you voluntarily leave the room right away? Is that too high-minded?

Without a word, Fu Yue felt deep down that her boss deserved to never find a partner in life.
