17 I can't speak

"Give it back to you."

"Oh...... Thank you, thank you......"

In front of the ice cream clerk who was already stunned, Yuki casually lifted the cone with two ice cream balls on top of it, and with a slight tilt of his hand, the matcha ice cream scoop on it accurately fell back into Ji Feng's cone.

Then Yuki stared at the pale green that stuck to her white vanilla ice cream ball for a few seconds before reaching out her little clove tongue and licking it into her mouth.

Speaking of which, it's not yet May, and Ji Feng directly invited Youxi to eat ice cream without asking, which is really a bit inconsiderate. But Yuki, who always has a cold face, seems to be particularly fond of this cold ice cream, and after licking the first bite, he never stops, and licks the ice cream ball as white as snowflakes unhurriedly.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Although his performance just now was a little embarrassing, Ji Feng would rather be cheeky and rush forward than never flinch, fortunately, Youxi has always been such an expressionless and calm appearance, and she has never embarrassed people, since Ji Feng said that she was leaving, then she naturally followed Ji Feng silently.

Today's Yuki is rarely wearing a casual dress, which was prepared for her by Asakura, like a literary girl with a ruffled tunic dress, but even so, when she and Ji Feng walked together, they didn't look like a couple on a date, but more like a younger sister who went out to play with her brother.

"Ji Feng, the route is wrong."

When Ji Feng took Youxi into a department store in the square in front of the station, Youxi, who didn't have a map in his hand at all, suddenly reminded him. However, Ji Feng did not take out the map of the city with the route of action marked by Spring to compare his direction, but replied completely indifferently:

"Leave it alone, this afternoon's event is all about dating. Let's go to the movies together, three-dimensional dating is nothing more than eating and watching movies, going to amusement parks, aquariums, hot springs, seaside or something, and then visiting shopping malls and parks? Doesn't that seem like a lot of fun? ā€

When it comes to dating in the third dimension, all Ji Feng can think of is these very ordinary activities, and he has summarized them from various novels and anime. However, Yuki's knowledge in this area is even more pitiful, and even though her pupils flickered a few times in an eerie light, and she instantly downloaded and learned all about dating from the database of information and thoughts, she still couldn't comment on this human behavior - especially the funny and uninteresting comments.

"Why......

So obsessed with dating me? ā€

But what she couldn't understand more than the date itself was Ji Feng's thoughts. This otherworldly person has been trying to get close to her from the beginning, and he has never given up despite being treated extremely coldly, and now he is going to engage in this kind of activity with her aimed at strengthening the relationship between the two parties and finally completing the courtship behavior, is this to make her a spouse?

"It's for you to have a happy memory."

Looking at Youxi, who stopped and looked at him seriously from behind the big glasses, Ji Feng turned to face Youxi and smiled a little embarrassedly. But perhaps to hide his shyness, he then cheekily added a few words:

"Hmm...... The key is that I want you to have a happy memory with me, which only belongs to the two of us, and it would be great if it could enhance the relationship between the two of us.

If I had to ask why, it would be because I was happy, happy, happy...... Enjoy...... Enjoy......

Belch...... I—I can't even say it anyway. ā€

Originally, Ji Feng planned to take this opportunity to say something like "That's naturally because I like you" to Youxi, half-jokingly and half-seriously, but after practice, he found that he couldn't say such things to girls without blushing like those suave male protagonists in novels and anime, and he still had a free and easy smile on his face.

In fact, not only is he not chic at all now, but he is even as red as a girl, so much so that he has to cover his face with his hands before he dares to continue facing Yuki.

I didn't expect that there is such a big gap between my ideal self and my real self! When Ji Feng simulated the dating scene in his mind, whether it was taking the initiative to hold Yuki's hand at the beginning, or buying ice cream, or naturally saying what he liked when Yuki asked why, or even pretending to naturally cover Yuki's small hand in the movie theater...... This is obviously something that can be done as long as he grits his teeth cheekily, but in reality, he only barely completed the first two steps, and was stuck in the third step.

He also fantasized about shouting in front of all the "wives" like Sugizaki Key, "I like all of you, please come along with me, I will definitely make you all happy" such a shameless harem declaration, but now he finally knows how much courage and how cheeky it takes!

Even in front of Youxi, who is the easiest to "raid", he can't clearly say that he "likes", can he really grow into the king of the harem~ palace?

"Don't forget, although I look like a human on the surface, I'm actually a humanoid terminal created by the Information Fusion Mind Body to contact with organic life."

Maybe he guessed the word that Ji Feng had been holding back for a long time and had never been able to say, and there was an expressionless Youxi "kind"

Reminded him.

The girl's voice is still steady and uninhibited, as if it is an electronic synthesized sound without emotional fluctuations, even Ji Feng, who is the best at self-inflicted affection, can't hear even the slightest tendency from it. Behind her reflective glasses, her eyes were clear and bright like obsidian, but they were empty. Her mind is like an empty room, without any emotion in it, so she can see through it at a glance.

Once, when Ji Feng stubbornly stood outside the door of apartment 708 and waited for hours, he was once stung in his heart by these puppet-like eyes, and felt a kind of wordless sadness.

But that's no longer the case. Although those eyes were still like dolls, Ji Feng could already look directly at them this time, revealing a smile as warm as the spring sun.

"A lot of the science fiction novels you like to read mention intelligent robots, right?"

Gently putting down the hand covering his face, in Youxi's calm gaze like stagnant water, Ji Feng asked as if he was just chatting casually.
