Genshin Impact: Life Simulator

"Big Brother Nathan, would you like to smell something nice?"

Before Nathan could respond, Hu Tao had already grabbed his palm. Without giving him time to react, she brought it close to her.

As Nathan's palm opened, the crimson Vision touched the tip of his nose. A gentle warmth radiated from the Vision's surface. However, Nathan was certain that this warmth wasn't the heat typically associated with the Pyro element.

Instead, the Vision's surface carried a subtle fragrance. It was a milk-like sweetness, combined with the surface warmth—clearly originating from where Hu Tao had just retrieved the Vision.

"Big Brother Nathan, did you smell the fragrance?"

Seeing that he remained silent, the delicate young woman grew bolder and moved even closer. Looking up at him from below, a smile of successful scheming appeared at the corners of her mouth.

"What fragrance? I didn't smell anything!"

Nathan shook his head in denial. He wouldn't actively admit it—after all, this was already bordering on inappropriate. The place where Hu Tao had taken out the Vision from was beyond what could be described as merely intimate.

"Hehe, Big Brother Nathan, you're lying!"

Hu Tao dove into his embrace, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"Come on, Big Brother Nathan, don't be shy. If you want to smell something nice, I have plenty more!"

As Hu Tao's hands moved to her collar, seemingly ready to undo the buttons, Nathan panicked and hurriedly stopped the girl.

"Stop... stop, let's not discuss this anymore!"

Nathan caught her fair hands, choosing to change the subject. He felt that the current Hu Tao was gradually becoming more like her future self. The more time they spent together, the more easily she could manipulate him.

"Big Brother Nathan... is a coward!"

Having her actions interrupted, Hu Tao pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Haha, I dare not be too bold right now..."

Laughing awkwardly in response, Nathan readjusted Hu Tao's collar. While doing so, he also tidied up her disheveled bangs.

Hu Tao had already narrowed her eyes, her previous dissatisfaction completely gone, clearly enjoying this intimate gesture.

"Alright, you can't be so impulsive next time!"

After a brief moment, Nathan finally gave Hu Tao's fair forehead a gentle flick. For such intimate gestures, his bottom line was that she needed to become the mature beauty of the future first.

"Ow... that hurts..."

Hu Tao responded by cutely crouching down and holding her head.

"Stop pretending, I barely used any force!"

Nathan said helplessly. Compared to the future Hu Tao, the current one was more prone to dramatic acts. Though this might just be typical of girls her age.

"Hmph, Big Brother Nathan doesn't know how to be considerate at all."

Seeing her pretense exposed, Hu Tao immediately returned to her playful demeanor—changing expressions.

"And Big Brother Nathan, how should I address you now that you're my fiancé?"

"Just call me by my name."

"Okay, Nathan"

"Alright, let's talk about this Vision. Hu Tao, when did you discover it?"

To avoid Hu Tao's continued intimate advances, Nathan chose to return to the main topic.

"Just now, when Nathan carried me into the room!"

Hu Tao tilted her head, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

But in the next moment, she said something that made Nathan's blood pressure rise.

"Nathan, do you think this Vision is the crystallization of our love?"

"Crystallization? Hu Tao, do you really know what you're saying?"

"Of course! Since the Vision appeared after meeting Nathan... it must be the crystallization of our love..."

"Sigh... never mind!"

The so-called crystallization of love between a man and woman typically referred to offspring born after their union. After hearing Hu Tao's explanation, Nathan decided it was better not to explain this meaning to her and just let her interpret it as she wished.

"Nathan, with this, will I become as strong as you?"

Hu Tao wrapped her hands around his wrist, with the crimson Vision resting between their palms.

"Theoretically, yes. Once you master the Vision, you'll become increasingly powerful, Hu Tao."

Just as Nathan said, Hu Tao's future strength was already demonstrated in the game.

"But Nathan, what if I don't know how to use it?"

"A Vision is like an external magical organ that guides elemental power. Just imagine it as natural as your mouth or nose—using elemental power will become as simple as breathing!"

Nathan thought Hu Tao genuinely didn't know, so he seriously explained how to use a Vision.

"That's so complicated, I still don't understand!"

Hu Tao continued shaking her head, unable to hide the smile at the corners of her mouth.

By this point, how could Nathan not understand? This was clearly another one of the girl's tricks.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Hehe, using the Vision is so difficult, I want Nathan to teach me personally every day!"

"Alright... alright... I promise. But Hu Tao, could you let go of me first?"

Teaching the current Hu Tao didn't seem like a difficult task to Nathan. However, the girl's entire body was now wrapped around him, pressing them extremely close together.

"Nathan is so nice, I love you the most... mwah!"

Her face beaming with excitement, she hadn't expected Nathan to agree so easily after all her setup. The excitement spread throughout her body, finally resulting in her lips landing on his cheek...

----

As evening approached, Liyue Harbor was already lit up with lights.

After spending the entire afternoon in her chamber, Nathan finally emerged unscathed. Of course... this ignored the faint red mark on his cheek.

Hu Tao held onto Nathan's arm as they walked through the bustling streets. According to the girl, she wanted to treat him to a sumptuous dinner.

As for why they weren't dining at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, it was because Hu Tao wanted to introduce Nathan to her friend.

They walked into Chihu Rock and stopped at Wanmin Restaurant. The identity of the friend Hu Tao wanted Nathan to meet was now quite obvious...
