A few hours earlier...
"Jiang Junwei." Shen Haofeng called out to Jiang Junwei who was practicing the sword slowly.
"Yes, Your Majesty?" Jiang Junwei immediately stopped from all his activities for a moment. He sheathed his sword and walked short towards the source of the sound.
Shen Haofeng was sitting elegantly on a chair while drinking the cup of tea he now placed by his side.
"I.. Uh. how do I touch. emm." Shen Haofeng had difficulty expressing his wish. He was eager to ask but could not find the right words. Jiang Junwei chuckled softly when he heard his master who spoke disjointedly. Just this time he saw Shen Haofeng so nervous.
Fortunately, Jiang Junwei was already well versed with Shen Haofeng's personality.
"How to touch Qiao Rong and how to approach him?" Jiang Junwei asked curiously. He should have thanked Qiao Rong for giving him the opportunity to see the other side of his master.
Shen Haofeng nodded. He felt his heart was very unpleasant, like being surrounded and surrounded by something. He felt ashamed.
"Hmmm..." Jiang Junwei thought for a moment. "Choose the easiest way. Take him around town." Jiang Junwei then brandished his index finger in front of Shen Haofeng's face. Jiang Junwei's teacher mode has been activated.
Shen Haofeng could only nod.
"Remember!! It's just the two of you, Your Majesty! If the girl wants to take someone else, grab her hand and walk her to the train that I'm going to prepare." Jiang Junwei's eyes were extremely fiery. Sometimes the young man has something for romance.
Shen Haofeng could only be astonished at Jiang Junwei's spirit. Even the young man when practicing the sword with him was not that excited in front of him. Jiang Junwei continued his chatter. However, Shen Haofeng who had just learned about such things felt like he could only understand a quarter of it.
"Then if you ask him to eat, be sure to wipe the food on his lips with your finger. Like this." Jiang Junwei immediately displayed his finger posture. He looked at Shen Haofeng fixedly, but not yet until his thumb reached Shen Haofeng's lips, his hand was firmly brushed aside. Jiang Junwei complained in pain, but he continued his chatter.
"Don't forget to talk more when you walk with him. Women prefer men who are open to it." That was the last sentence Jiang Junwei could remember Shen Haofeng.

"Qiao Rong?" Shen Haofeng waved his hands in front of Qiao Rong's eyes. Qiao Rong who was still dumbfounded finally came to a realization.
"Well, I don't have any plans today. Let's take Duan Yi and the others." Hearing Qiao Rong say so, Shen Haofeng furrowed his brows.
As soon as Qiao Rong turned his back to walk towards the house of Duan Yi, Hu Fei, and Gao Ping, Shen Haofeng immediately stuck out his right hand to grab Qiao Rong's hand.
But Jiang Junwei's rant was not as beautiful as reality. Imagining the hands of men and women who were not too decent to touch, Shen Haofeng became hesitant and came to a halt for a while. Meanwhile, Qiao Rong's hand was now far from the reach of his hand. Shen Haofeng became panicked.
"Qiao Rong!" Hearing his name being called out, Qiao Rong immediately turned his body again towards Shen Haofeng.
"Yes?" Qiao Rong asked in confusion. However, it gave Shen Haofeng a chance, as he was now able to reach Qiao Rong's hand easily back. Shen Haofeng immediately brushed off the inappropriate thoughts from his brain and grabbed Qiao Rong's hand.
Jiang Junwei who had secretly seen them was initially disappointed that Shen Haofeng stopped hesitantly. But he was finally able to smile happily.
Now, Shen Haofeng's right hand was already tightly grasping Qiao Rong's left hand. And he started running.
*****
Qiao Rong was holding Cong You Bing, a scallion pancake he bought for two bronze coins a few minutes ago.
The atmosphere is now quite awkward. Qiao Rong knew, there must be so many things that the young man wanted to ask him. For example, why he was able to obtain the Kunlun Fruit so easily, why the Nirvana Snake was familiar with it, and many other things. But he would also not be comfortable answering it if Shen Haofeng would really ask about those things.
Qiao Rong sighed and went back to biting the pancake in his hand. He ate and ate, but finally caught the wet Shen Haofeng who consciously looked at him.
"What do you see?" Am I so attractive? Why is he glaring at me? Qiao Rong asked himself.
Shen Haofeng did not reply, just sticking his thumb out at Qiao Rong's face. Even the somewhat surprised Qiao Rong reflexively retreated on his own. His face became far from the reach of Shen Haofeng's fingers.
"What are you doing?" Now the situation is really awkward.
Jiang Junwei who had already followed them dariitadi and pretended to be one of the merchants on the street was secretly patting his forehead. Are you stupid? Let him wipe your lips! Inner Jiang Junwei was irritated.
Due to that momentary annoyance, Jiang Junwei subconsciously let Qiao Rong see his suspicious moves. Qiao Rong who had sharp eyes immediately recognized the merchant as Jiang Junwei.
"Jiang Junwei?" Qiao Rong blinked his eyes. Why is that guy here?
Jiang Junwei immediately covered his face, yet it was too late. Jiang Junwei turned his head towards Shen Haofeng who looked furious. The master furrowed his brows in annoyance. Jiang Junwei knew that was not a good sign.
"A-ah. just worry that your trip isn't going well. You guys are. dating?" Jiang Junwei tried to smile and push the two of them. Qiao Rong immediately blushed at the last word, but his expression instantly changed with a mischievous smile.
"Hm.. worried huh? Well, then, how about you go on a date with me?" Hearing that, not only Jiang Junwei, even Shen Haofeng immediately glared at Qiao Rong in shock.
This woman seems to want to kill me. Inner Jiang Junwei with a face of despair.
"Can't!" Shen Haofeng immediately shouted out sternly.
However, just now that Qiao Rong wanted to ask what the reason was, suddenly a wagon came from the opposite direction towards them at high speed.
"Surge!" The wagon driver seemed to be panicking due to the sloping road that made his wagon go down uncontrollably. Jiang Junwei immediately dodged, while Qiao Rong and Shen Haofeng used qinggong together to dodge the wagon.
After Jiang Junwei came to his senses, his master and Qiao Rong were already not within his sight range anymore.
*****
Shen Haofeng and Qiao Rong ended up in a small alley filled with piles of woven baskets. They huddled in the middle of that narrow alley, their distance was less than a meter. Even Qiao Rong could feel Shen Haofeng's breath on his forehead.
"S-Shen Haofeng's.." Qiao Rong broke the silence between them. Outside the alley, there were a lot of people on the road. "What.. do you like me?" Qiao Rong ventured to ask that.
Shen Haofeng was very confused as to what kind of answer. Qiao Rong caught Shen Haofeng's confused expression and immediately clarified his question. "I mean. If you won't see me again, is that okay?" Qiao Rong cursed to himself who had already spoken so confidently in front of Li Junyan. Though when he looked into Shen Haofeng's eyes alone he felt groggy like he had entered the abyss.
"Can't!" Again Shen Haofeng shouted decisively like before.
"That means you like me?" Qiao Rong again repeated his question after his sense of leecaya himself slowly recovered.
Not yet Shen Haofeng thought to answer, from the outside of the alley was a little boy who asked his mother in a loud voice. "Mother! Lookie! What are they doing inside?" His mother shook her head and took the child away as quickly as possible.
The faces of Qiao Rong and Shen Haofeng were now red like tomatoes. They immediately walked out of the alley one by one.
