"This is the first time in thousands of years that I've held hands with someone, but I found it didn't feel particularly special."
After Xinghe and Gao Yuan left the meeting room hand in hand, the guards outside all subtly turned their heads to avoid seeing what they shouldn't.
Xinghe laughed happily, shaking Gao Yuan's hand, and said, "But, I'm really happy inside."
Gao Yuan couldn't help but say, "Xinghe, have you noticed that your behavior is becoming more and more childish?"
Xinghe blinked and replied, "Really? I haven't noticed. I'm just very happy, does happiness make one childish?"
What is this, innocence and naivety?
Gao Yuan sighed inwardly, then decided to speak his mind directly to avoid future difficulties in getting along.
"Tell me, do you like me, like in a romantic way between a man and a woman? You now understand Earth's culture quite well, so don't play dumb with me just because you're an alien and... and feign ignorance."
