And her reaction was so strong...
Swire felt a doubled sense of shame. She grabbed a few intelligence reports and held them to her face, insisting in a muffled voice, "No matter what, it's a fact that I made a mistake in command, even if you weren't hurt..."
"Alright, alright, I know it was your fault. I forgive you. Just try to prevent it from happening again." Yun Yi waved his hand with amusement. Why was Swire's attention still on this?
However, this reaction is better than angrily continuing to hit her on the head and scold her for talking nonsense and causing misunderstandings.
"You're just giving me the runaround again!" Swire replied angrily in an instant, then dejectedly changed her squatting position, hugged Yun Yi, and sat down on the ground, saying in a low voice, "Am I that annoying?"
This caused Yunyi to not want to talk to her seriously and to keep giving her perfunctory replies.
From beginning to end, this is outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
This also made Swire reflect on her words and actions during this period—no one had ever treated her so perfunctorily before.
Even Chen, who gets along the most with her, will only argue with her from the middle (meaning they'll have a direct confrontation).
"No, that's not true." Yun Yi lay on Shi Huaiya's lap, which offered a wonderfully comfortable experience, and blinked confidently, saying, "It's not annoying at all, it's quite interesting."
It fits her stereotype of cats quite well—proud, confident, with an indomitable spirit, and when they realize they've made a mistake, they'll whine and meow at you, begging for forgiveness.
Hmm, no, Swire corresponds to a tiger in my past life, but they're both felines, so it doesn't matter, right?
"Quite interesting..." What a strange comment!
Swire's face flushed, and the disappointment was instantly replaced by embarrassment and anger.
She shouted, "You're not going to be imagining me as that little freak again, are you?!"
"Ah, you guessed right." Yun Yi said in surprise.
She held up a finger and shook it, smiling reassuringly: "This time I remembered to change your mimicry to a tiger, which is a ferocious beast in the animal kingdom."
Swire choked on the words that were about to come out.
She then remembered that she had previously told Yun Yi that even if he were to shape her image, he should shape her into a ferocious beast.
Swire couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes, screaming inwardly, "Is her mouth blessed? She's only saying things that will dig her own grave, deliberately sabotaging herself!"
"You really are shy." Seeing Swire's series of reactions, Yun Yi laughed without restraint, "So cute."
"You, you, you, you, you shut your mouth!" Swire blushed and let out a sharp, high-pitched cry like a pressure cooker emitting steam. However, because of her superior tone and the restraint of her aristocratic upbringing, her words were not only not jarring, but rather like a massage to the ears.
It's a bit stimulating, but the tingling sensation is mostly due to the ASMR quality of Swire's voice.
Yun Yi exclaimed "Wow!" He was happy that he had caused Swire to have such an interesting reaction, and he was also surprised that someone could sing so well when they were in the high notes.
"Shut up." Shi Huaiya, who had calmed down after Yun Yi's exclamation, took a deep breath and said to Yun Yi, who she saw as someone who loved to watch the drama unfold, word by word.
Yun Yi obediently raised his hand and pulled his mouth shut, indicating that he would shut up.
"Huh?" Swire was a little at a loss when she saw Yun Yi being so obedient.
A struggle flashed in her eyes, but she still said, "Don't say anything yet, let me calm down."
She was genuinely afraid that Yun Yi would blurt out something else that would blow away her remaining rationality.
After finishing her sentence, Swire rubbed her temples and tried to calm herself down, telling herself to stay calm, calm down, calm down...
Yun Yi looked up at Shi Huaiya, whose face was still flushed, and obediently quieted down.
The driving space became quiet in an instant.
At that moment, a strand of Swire's hair swept across Yun Yi's upward gaze. She raised her hand and pinched a strand, the cool touch and smooth texture traveling through her fingertips to Yun Yi's senses.
She couldn't resist pinching a few more strands, rubbing them repeatedly in her hands, savoring the comfortable feel even more.
Although Yunyi's movements were very careful and gentle during this process, he still quickly regained Swire's attention.
Swire snapped out of her daze, and following the slight pull of her hair, she looked down and saw Yun Yi playing with her hair.
Her eyelashes fluttered twice, her Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and she lowered her eyes to stare at the softly glowing strands of hair between Yun Yi's fingers, remaining silent for a long time.
For nothing else.
Swire calmly looked up and stared straight ahead. Some data from the subsystem's panel was flashing in front of her eyes, trying to attract her attention.
Looking at these figures, Swire's emotions surged once again.
Who can remain calm after seeing this?

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen - Chapter Thirty-Two: Beautiful Hair Can Really Make You Like It
[Emotional support module is running]
[Current intimacy level between you and the main character: 1 → 2]
(67%/100%)
(He's handsome and cute, but a bit stubborn; his personality is really interesting.)
(Wants to touch ears, hair)
(Overall: Fun companions)
[The subject's current core emotion:]
(Detection passed, temporary viewing allowed)
→[Anxiety, confusion, happiness]
Aside from the ever-present "anxiety" and "confusion" that seemed to be welded to his body, everything else about Yunyi had changed.
The presence of "Kaixin" made Swire reluctant to disturb Yunyi's self-entertainment, even though the toy was her hair.
Swire's gaze skipped over the "handsome...meaning" section, which she didn't want to read a second time, and over the section about Yun Yi's private desires, "want...", before landing on the overall evaluation that followed: ...companion.
Does this mean that her relationship with Yun Yi has undergone a fundamental change? It should be considered so.
With a sense of sudden realization, Shi Huaiya asked and answered himself.
Isn't this module a bit cunning?
Without it, Swire would have simply followed his own whims, based on a fundamental mutual respect.
But because of its presence, Swire can see Yun Yi's general state. She will unconsciously suppress some of her words, and when she comes to her senses, she becomes very gentle, and her harsh words sound like... a coquettish pout.
Swire pursed her lips, raised her hand to cover the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and looked dazed.
Moreover, it seems that because of this, she became increasingly emotional when facing Yun Yi, with little desire to hide anything from him (he had already laid out his privacy), and was easily swayed by him, paying attention to his opinions.
These are things that "Swire without modules" wouldn't do.
While not quite egocentric, Swire should have been indifferent to others and focused entirely on his own path.
In just half a day, no, in one day, how far has she strayed from her original lifestyle, whether voluntarily or involuntarily?
Shi Huaiya felt confused, but found that she had no desire to delete the module at all—Yun Yi's condition had not fully recovered, and she needed the template's help.
She can't let go of Yun Yi!
So this module is really cunning.
Shi Huaiya, feeling quite troubled, waved away the subsystem panel.
Her rather large movements snapped Yunyi out of his fun of pinching her hair, and he subconsciously laughed, "You've calmed down already? That was quick."
“Don’t underestimate me,” Swire emphasized for what felt like the umpteenth time.
She calmed herself down, opened her five fingers, and took her hair from Yun Yi's hand.
"Ah..." Yun Yi sighed regretfully as she watched the Nian Nian Le walk away from her.
"You like my hair?" Swire's mind subconsciously flashed through the module's content: "Want to touch my ears, hair."
She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of information she shouldn't know, and focused on the person in front of her, saying, "I'll bring you some shampoo and conditioner when we get back. If you use them for a while, your hair will be almost the same."
"It's more convenient to play your own game."
“It’s different. Besides, my body is fixed. Unless I exchange for something from the system, it won’t change.” Yun Yi gave him a “you don’t understand” look.
“What’s different?” Swire looked at her own hair, then at Yunyi’s hair.
Having not looked closely before, Swire now realized that Yunyi's white hair was unexpectedly beautiful.
Like moonlight-drenched silk, it drapes softly around one's legs, its surface shimmering with a gentle light similar to silk, serene and tranquil.
Swire reached out as if bewitched, his fingers lightly touching the silk threads.
The delicate touch of her fingertips intertwined with the moonlit visual beauty, making it impossible for her to look away or take her hands off the object.
Swire seemed to have forgotten that she was talking to Yun Yi, and casually stroked Yun Yi's white hair as he lay on her lap with a hint of enjoyment.
"..." Yun Yi tilted her head. Since Swire had used her hair, could she continue to play with Swire's hair?
Yunyi believes the answer is yes.
So Yun Yi happily raised his hand and successfully grasped Shi Huaiya's cascading curly hair in his palm.
When she lightly touched her hair with her fingertips, Swire's hair looked like flowing caramel, and as the light shone through, the golden luster flowed like crushed diamonds.
As Yunyi swayed, it reflected shimmering light, which, combined with Shi Huaiya's exquisite silhouette, created a breathtakingly beautiful effect.
Yun Yi looked up at the scene, and the amazement surging in her chest was like the waves crashing against the rocks at high tide. Uncontrollably, her fingertips drifted over the bangs, into her hair, and slowly advanced until they landed on Shi Huaiya's warm roots.
Swire's scalp was clean and refreshing without any oily or sticky feeling. When Yunyi gently massaged it with his fingertips, the supple texture revealed just the right amount of elasticity. The touch was delicate and soothing, making one want to linger for a moment or keep touching it.
Unfortunately, Swire is not a stone without physical sensation.
She felt Yun Yi touch her head without permission the moment he did so, and immediately raised her hand to stop his misbehaving hand, her eyes filled with shame and indignation as she said, "Don't push your luck!"
"You touch me, I'll touch you~" Yun Yi withdrew his fingers and said with a shameless smile.
Swire gave Yun Yi a deep look, adopting an attitude that left no room for negotiation: "That's enough."
"Wait! I can let you touch me more, I promise I'll only touch your hair!" Upon hearing this, Yun Yi quickly raised his hand to suggest that I stay.
“…Clear your head,” Swire said helplessly. “We’ve arrived.”
arrive?
Yun Yi paused, then sat up and looked out of the Nirvana.
It had changed drastically, but Yun Yi could still vaguely make out that it was the same private room in the coffee shop that had been there before.
"Wow, that was fast." It felt like only a short time had passed.
Yun Yi was surprised, saying that it took her quite a while to get there.
“The Nirvana is indeed very fast.” Swire spoke from pure data: “It only took a quarter of the time required by a normal vehicle.”
"This is still the normal speed controlled by the automatic program... no wonder your body can't take it."
"Can we not talk about this?" Yun Yi turned his head from his seat to look up at Shi Huaiya, who had stood up, and said sincerely, "Thinking about it carefully, I feel a little embarrassed."
"Now you know how shameful you are." Swire was speechless. She squatted down and picked up Yun Yi, casually agreeing, "Okay, let's talk about something else, like what happened here? I don't remember arranging for anyone to renovate this place before I left."
"What did you do before you came to see me?"
"..." Yun Yi held Shi Huaiya's shoulder, his gaze firm, and said, "Let's talk about my poor health!"
Shi Huaiya narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
She was too lazy to argue with Yun Yi, who was clearly guilty, and said directly, "Before that, let us out first."

It feels a bit strange to type while listening to children's songs. Why does QQ Music randomly play these kinds of songs?

Volume 2: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 33 Changing the subject without even realizing it – I'm so good at it!
Yun Yi sensed something was wrong and shuddered. She tentatively suggested, "How about we deal with the people behind us first?"
After Swire put Yunyi down and helped her stand properly, she smiled and looked at Yunyi.
She said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.
