Chapter 9
As Xin Tian and Luo Yan emerged from the other side of the portal, they found themselves in a cozy and beautifully decorated room. The walls were adorned with vibrant paintings and shelves filled with books and various artifacts. It was a space that reflected Xin Tian's taste and personality.
Luo Yan looked around in awe, taking in the intricate details of the room. "Just like I expect from your room, Dear," she exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face. "This is your room right?"
Xin Tian nodded, his eyes shining with pride. "Yes, this is my room, I guess we are lucky that I have a booked about history starting for WW1 to WW3."
Luo Yan approached a bookshelf and ran her fingers gently over the spines of the books. "I can see how you're knowledgeable," she remarked.
Xin Tian walked up to her, wrapping his arm around her waist. "Not really, when I was little I was too lazy to read the books over there, to the point that, I don't even want to read my test papers and randomly answered it."
Luo Yan chuckled, her eyes filled with amusement. "Lazy, huh? That's hard to believe considering how dedicated and skilled you are creating those things you called gadgets."
Xin Tian grinned sheepishly. "Well, I guess I found my motivation and passion later on."
As they continued to explore the room, they discovered a comfortable seating area by the window, overlooking a breathtaking view of a serene lake surrounded by lush greenery. Xin Tian guided Luo Yan to the couch, and they settled down, enjoying the tranquil atmosphere.
"This view is truly remarkable," Luo Yan said, her voice filled with wonder. "It's so different from the cultivation realm. I can feel a sense of peace and harmony here. But the Qi was full of impurities."
Xin Tian nodded, his gaze fixed on the beautiful scenery. "Yes, my home world may not have the same cultivation energy as the realm we come from, but it has its own unique charm. The people in this world were more peaceful than the cultivation world. Anyway, I should start teaching you about the history of the world. Luckily, I have a book about history starting from WW1 to WW3."
Luo Yan leaned back against the couch, eager to learn more about Xin Tian's home world. "I'd love to learn about the history here," she said, her eyes lighting up with curiosity. "It's fascinating to think about the events that shaped this world and its people."
Xin Tian reached for the book he mentioned earlier and sat down beside Luo Yan, flipping through its pages. "Let's start with World War I," he began, his voice filled with enthusiasm. "It was a global conflict that erupted in 1914 and lasted until 1918. The war involved many nations and had far-reaching consequences for the world."
As Xin Tian delved into the details of the historical events, Luo Yan listened intently, captivated by the stories and their significance. She marveled at the parallel between the conflicts in Xin Tian's world and the battles she had witnessed in the cultivation realm.
"War has a way of shaping the course of history," Luo Yan remarked, her voice tinged with a mixture of admiration and concern. "It's both fascinating and heartbreaking to see how human actions can have such profound effects."
Xin Tian nodded, his expression thoughtful. "Indeed, the world has gone through its own share of challenges, but it has also witnessed remarkable progress and achievements. Due to the side effects of the war, the current era has become more peaceful than the past."
Luo Yan leaned her head against Xin Tian's shoulder, finding solace and comfort in his presence. "I'm grateful to be here, by your side, it's fascinating to learn about your world and its history." As Luo Yan pressed her lips against Xin Tian's, a warmth spread through his body, and he returned the gentle kiss with equal affection.
As Xin Tian and Luo Yan's lips parted, they exchanged a loving gaze before the sound of the doorbell interrupted their moment. Xin Tian smiled and gently disentangled himself from Luo Yan's embrace.
"I remembered that today is the day my super gaming computer would arrive," Xin Tian said with excitement. "I'll go and get it."
Luo Yan nodded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "I'll wait here and continue reading about the history of your world. Take your time, dear."
Xin Tian made his way to the door, his heart still filled with the warmth of their kiss. He opened the door to find a delivery person standing there, holding a large package.
"Delivery for Xin Tian," the person said, handing over the package.
Xin Tian signed for the delivery and thanked the person before closing the door. With the computer in hand, he hurried back to the cozy room where Luo Yan was patiently waiting.
Placing the package on a nearby table, Xin Tian joined Luo Yan on the couch once again. He couldn't help but notice the curious look on her face.
"What's in the package?" she asked, her eyes shining with curiosity.
Xin Tian grinned mischievously. "It's my new gaming computer," he replied. "I've been eagerly waiting for it. With this, we can enjoy playing some games later ."
Luo Yan's eyes widened with excitement. "That sounds like a lot of fun! I've never experienced playing in that black box before, but I'm eager to give it a try."
Xin Tian opened the package, revealing the sleek and powerful gaming computer. He quickly set it up on a nearby desk, making sure everything was in place.
"We can definitely play later," Xin Tian said with a smile, understanding Luo Yan's lack of familiarity with gaming. "But first, let me show you the basics of how it works and introduce you to some popular games."
Luo Yan nodded eagerly, her curiosity piqued. Xin Tian sat down beside her and began explaining the different components of the gaming computer, from the processor to the graphics card, and how they work together to create an immersive gaming experience.
As Xin Tian went into detail, Luo Yan listened attentively, absorbing the information with a determined focus. She asked questions whenever something wasn't clear, and Xin Tian happily clarified any confusion she had.
"Now that we have the computer set up," Xin Tian said, gesturing towards the screen, "let's dive into the world of gaming together."
He launched a game and guided Luo Yan through the controls, showing her how to move the character, perform actions, and navigate through the virtual world. Though it was new to her, Luo Yan caught on quickly, her innate skills and determination shining through.
They spent the next few hours immersed in various games, exploring fantastical realms, engaging in epic battles, and solving intricate puzzles. Xin Tian marveled at Luo Yan's adaptability and growing proficiency, as she became more comfortable with the mechanics and started enjoying the gaming experience.
As they played, their laughter filled the room, their competitive spirit adding a spark of excitement to their shared adventure. Xin Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and fulfillment, knowing that he could share his passion with the person he loved.
After a particularly intense gaming session, they finally decided to take a break. Xin Tian turned off the computer, and they settled back onto the couch, relishing in the warmth of each other's presence.
As Xin Tian remembered his task of restocking the refrigerator and glanced at the time, he realized he had enough time to complete it before midnight. He turned to Luo Yan with a smile.
"Do you want to come with me? I'm going to restock the foods, and I can also teach you about the Japanese currency," Xin Tian offered.
Luo Yan's eyes brightened with interest. "That sounds like a great opportunity to learn something new," she replied. "I'd love to join you."
Xin Tian took Luo Yan's hand, intertwining their fingers. Together, they made their way out of the cozy room and embarked on a small adventure to the local market.
As they walked through the bustling streets, Xin Tian pointed out various shops and landmarks, sharing tidbits of information about the neighborhood and its history. Luo Yan listened attentively, her curiosity fueling her desire to learn and understand more about this unfamiliar world.
Many people was looking at them due to Xin Tian being handsome and Luo Yang being a beautiful girl.
Arriving at the market, Xin Tian guided Luo Yan, showcasing the diverse array of fresh produce, meats, and other food items. He explained the significance of certain ingredients in Japanese cuisine and shared tips on selecting the best quality items.
"Now, let's talk about the Japanese currency," Xin Tian said, picking up a package of rice and turning it around to reveal the price tag. "The currency used in Japan is called the yen. Here, take a look at this."
He showed Luo Yan the number on the price tag, pointing out the Japanese characters representing the yen symbol. Xin Tian went on to explain the denominations of yen, from coins to banknotes, and their respective values.
Luo Yan observed the characters with curiosity, tracing them with her finger. "It's fascinating how each country has its own currency," she mused. "The characters are so different from what I'm used to, but I find them intriguing."
Xin Tian nodded, appreciating Luo Yan's enthusiasm. "Indeed, it's a reflection of the unique cultures and histories of each nation," he said. "Understanding the currency is important for everyday transactions and getting a sense of the cost of living in a particular place."
As they continued their shopping, Xin Tian and Luo Yan engaged in conversations about different aspects of Japanese culture, from traditional customs to modern trends. They discovered new foods, spices, and ingredients, excitedly discussing how they could incorporate them into their meals back in the cozy room.
After filling their shopping baskets with fresh groceries and having satisfied their curiosity about Japanese currency, Xin Tian and Luo Yan made their way back home. They carried the bags together, their steps filled with contentment and a shared sense of accomplishment.
Back in the cozy room, Xin Tian and Luo Yan unpacked the groceries, organizing them in the refrigerator and pantry. With each item they put away, they envisioned the delicious meals they would prepare and the memories they would create in their little sanctuary.
As the refrigerator filled with an assortment of foods, Xin Tian turned to Luo Yan, his eyes filled with affection. "Thank you for joining me on this errand," he said. "It was a wonderful experience."
Luo Yan smiled warmly, placing her hand on Xin Tian's cheek. "I cherish every moment we spend together," she replied. "Whether it's exploring new Realms or restocking groceries, every experience is special because we're together."
"Here, take a taste," Xin Tian said, giving an ice cream to Luo Yan. She looked at the frozen treat with curiosity, wondering how she would be able to eat it.
Luo Yan hesitated for a moment, contemplating the unfamiliar concept of ice cream. In the cultivation realm, she had never encountered such a dessert. She had seen ice before, but it was used for medicinal purposes, not for consumption.
Xin Tian noticed her hesitation and smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Luo Yan. It's a sweet and refreshing treat. Just hold it like this," he demonstrated, gripping the ice cream cone gently. "And take a small lick from the top."
Luo Yan followed Xin Tian's instructions, cautiously bringing the ice cream to her lips and tentatively taking a small lick. The cold sensation sent a shiver through her, but she was pleasantly surprised by the burst of sweet flavors that filled her mouth.
Her eyes widened with delight as she experienced the creamy texture and the delightful combination of flavors. It was a completely new sensation for her, one that brought a smile to her face.
"It's delicious!" Luo Yan exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine surprise and joy. "I never imagined something like this existed. Thank you, Dear."
Xin Tian chuckled, delighted by Luo Yan's reaction. "I'm glad you like it," he said, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "Ice cream is a popular dessert in my world, and there are so many flavors and varieties to explore. We can try different ones together and find your favorites."
Luo Yan nodded eagerly, her curiosity piqued. She continued to savor the ice cream, enjoying each bite as it melted on her tongue. It was a delightful treat that opened her eyes to a whole new world of culinary experiences.
As they sat together, Xin Tian and Luo Yan indulged in the simple pleasure of ice cream, Xin Tian savor her cute expression in his mind with a smile written over his face.
