Zhang Xiaoman was deploying his awkward conversation skills.
When Lin Sisi heard this, she was stunned, and then shook her head, saying, "No, I prefer goose-yellow, Brother Xiao Man, why do you ask?"
Zhang Xiaoman was taken aback, looked at the clothes she was wearing, and said, "Oh, it’s nothing, I saw you wearing this bright red dress and thought you liked red."
Lin Sisi unconsciously touched her dress, and then uncertainly said, "Huh? Isn’t this dress goose-yellow?"
Zhang Xiaoman was also confused.
"This is clearly red..."
The young girl’s face turned red upon hearing this, and she hung her head, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Zhang Xiaoman could barely hear her murmuring something about buying the wrong thing.
And so, the two of them finished their dinner amidst this awkward conversation.
Actually, when it came to feelings, Zhang Xiaoman did have a certain sensation towards Lin Sisi.
Although he was now a Transcendent, the Master of the Stars, the Master of the Original Realm, the Star Alliance Leader, the Star Alliance Founder, a man with a System... but that did not prevent him from taking a liking to her.
Zhang Xiaoman’s feelings towards Lin Sisi were actually a bit strange. At first, he went to her home to kill monsters for points, but after learning about her situation, sympathy occupied much of his heart.
After several encounters, some inexplicable feelings came into play.
However, because both of them had rather reserved personalities, some things that could naturally progress had not come to fruition to this day.
After dinner, Zhang Xiaoman remembered his issue with the Enlightenment Array and seized the opportunity to bring it up.
"I know this request might be a bit selfish, but at the moment, I can’t find anyone else who can help. If you’d like, I can help you awaken, so in the future, when you’re alone, you can use the Spirit Detection Technique to detect Dark Energy at any time."
"Ah, that’s not necessary, Brother Xiao Man, you’ve done so much for me, it’s only right that I help you out..."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled and interrupted her, "It’s okay, whether it’s a single sheep I’m driving or a flock, cough cough, what I mean is, helping you awaken won’t consume much."
"At that time, I’ll teach you the Spirit Detection Technique, so when you encounter danger, at least you’ll know which direction to run in. Those monsters can be seen very clearly with the technique, after all."
Lin Sisi was a bit confused by his explanation and asked subconsciously:
"Monsters? What monsters? Are they like the ones from last time?"
Zhang Xiaoman took a sip of juice and said:
"I’ll tell you about the specifics later. It’ll also be beneficial for you to awaken since you have eye problems, though it might increase the chances of thought recognition...
"But in the end, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. Being able to detect danger in advance is very important. As soon as you see a figure other than me, call me right away. I’ll come to help you."
He continued, after refilling her drink:
"By the way, I might be a bit busy the next few days, so I won’t be able to come see you for a while. If anything comes up, call me. If you can’t get through, send a voice message, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I see it."
At this time, the girl was still digesting the stream of words he had just said. It took her quite a while to come back to her senses, and she quickly said:
"Okay, okay, thank you Brother Xiao Man, I’ll take good care of myself."
Zhang Xiaoman smiled, gently clinking her glass with his.
