Chapter 732 Some Customs Differences Here
"Alright then, but I really wasn't prepared. Is time getting a little tight now...?"
In addition, his birthday has become a holiday in recent years. Sheng Hanyu didn't know if Ye Sanqing knew about this. It's fine if many people celebrate together, but it's a bit strange if it's just the two of them.
"Then what should we do? You're not going to celebrate according to the lunar calendar, are you?" Ye Sanqing glanced at the calendar again. "It seems that the lunar calendar is a few days later. I don't know the customs where you live, but I've heard that many people celebrate according to the lunar calendar."
"No, no, what I mean is... actually, it's fine too, we can just miss this holiday." Sheng Hanyu said with some difficulty.
"Ah, what holiday?" Ye Sanqing didn't wait for his answer and searched online. "520? Is that a holiday?"
"...Yes, like Qixi Festival, Valentine's Day, and those things. So..."
"Oh." Ye Sanqing didn't dwell on it much. They also had similar holidays where she lived. "Aren't you amazing? Your birthday is a holiday too. Just like my birthday is a holiday."
"Uh?"
Sheng Hanyu felt that Ye Sanqing's thinking seemed to be off. She seemed to care about nothing about the content of the festival, only that it was a festival.
Although this isn't an officially recognized statutory holiday, sometimes conventions can't be ignored.
"I know what you mean. You're saying this is like Valentine's Day, so what?" Ye Sanqing thought for a moment. "Do you have a lover?"
"No, no, no. I didn't," Sheng Hanyu immediately denied. "I just feel a little embarrassed."
If he were a bit more slick, he might have added something like, "I don't have any, but you can fill the gap."
However... firstly, this is too slick and completely unserious; secondly, Ye Sanqing might kill him if he heard this.
"Oh. I also feel that you don't."
Ye Sanqing thought to himself, "Although I'm not a gossipy person, I should still be able to tell whether someone has a lover or not."
"Wait a minute," Sheng Hanyu said, noticing her expression and sensing that something was still amiss. "Here, 'lover' means romantic partner, not that kind of lover! I don't have a lover!"
"Oh, oh." Ye Sanqing nodded, seemingly lost in thought.
It seems the customs here are different. Back in her original world, many nobles had lovers.
This... is legal in the interstellar world. Although it's similar to her harem in nature, just lacking a formal title, people actually think it's more romantic.
Moreover, due to differences in race and lifestyle, it is impossible to make any regulations in this regard.
It's impossible to expect matriarchal clans to practice monogamy; it's simply unrealistic.
The matriarchal clan here refers to a structure similar to that of a bee colony or ant colony, centered around a queen bee or ant queen, determined by the physiological structure of these species themselves...
Of course, there are also cases where the opposite is true, but they are relatively rare.
"Hmm?" Sheng Hanyu asked tentatively, "What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?"
"I just thought there are some differences in customs here," Ye Sanqing explained what he had just thought of. "It may seem strange to you, but there are so many races, and there are all kinds of customs."
“I see.” Sheng Hanyu shook her head. “I don’t find it strange. I’ve read a bit of interstellar literature myself.”
Compared to some Zerg-like creatures, this is nothing at all...
"That's good. Speaking of which, our birthday is the day after tomorrow, so you shouldn't feel awkward if we all celebrate together," Ye Sanqing brought the topic back.
"Okay, then I'll order and pre-order some things online in the next couple of days, and they'll be delivered directly to your location. Since you said it's worth celebrating, let's celebrate then."
"Okay, let's decide on this, but we'll have to change cars and speed up on the third day."
Ye Sanqing made a note on the calendar, while Sheng Hanyu was thinking about something else.
It's not necessary to rush... but never mind, the date he proposed is a bit complicated, and I can't just say something like "It would be better if I spent it with you" now.
In fact, Sheng Luoxin might have reminded him, but Sheng Hanyu always doubted this point. Sheng Luoxin's ambiguity about the current date was not a recent development.
This happened before when I was studying away from home. A few days before or after, he would message me, asking if it was my birthday and reminding me to go out and celebrate...
Sheng Hanyu used to think he was just not very concerned, like a father who doesn't know which school his child is attending this year, but now it seems...
It's probably determined by his character design.
This vagueness about dates doesn't mean he's forgetful. On the contrary, he remembers other things very clearly. For example, he can remember what he needs to do on what day he's filming.
But Sheng Luoxin always seemed to be unclear about the exact date.
Given his previous lifestyle, the date wasn't important to him.
Sheng Hanyu let his thoughts wander, thinking that this was probably the game's setting. If this world became real, he would no longer be a game character, and that might change.
“Let’s speed things up then. There’s not much scenery along the way on the third day anyway, and now that we’ve added the birthday event, we can start preparing for the next phase of work once it’s over,” Sheng Hanyu said.
If there were no other issues, they could have leisurely made their way there, but since there's an extra task, they might as well arrive sooner.
"It's decided then." Ye Sanqing glanced at the time after writing it down. "Is there anything else you want to see?"
"The timing is a bit awkward now. It seems we can only see half of it. We'll be in town in another hour," Sheng Hanyu said, opening the map to check their current location.
"Let's go up to the roof and enjoy the view," Ye Sanqing suggested.
"It's a bit hot, aren't you? Did you put on sunscreen?" Sheng Hanyu reminded her.
He wasn't concerned about whether Ye Sanqing would get a tan. It was still the same issue: if there was a difference in skin tone, it would be troublesome to do makeup later.
"You'll still get sunburned now? Isn't it almost dusk?" Ye Sanqing asked in surprise. "I had completely forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I thought I wouldn't be in the sun all day since I've been in the car... Sigh, actually, if the makeup artist hadn't come to do my makeup, I wouldn't have remembered any of this."
She even needs Xiaoyou to remind her to take care of basic things... She's complained that it's quite troublesome here, since these are minor issues in the interstellar world.
If you want to switch to a metallic skin, that's fine, not to mention a little bit of nursing care; you can just lie in a nutrient tank and it'll all be taken care of.
"Let's see that scenery when the sun isn't out. Speaking of which, I remembered something..." Ye Sanqing said, "There used to be a skin care technique where I live..."
Actually, it wasn't for skin care; it was just a side effect of the treatment. But Ye Sanqing felt it might be worthwhile.
"Oh, tell me in detail."
