—[Part 1]— Video Timestamp: [00:09]
Creak—The vehicle smoothly enters the cobblestone road of the small town and comes to a stop in a courtyard.
I eagerly open the car door, and unexpectedly, cold air rushes into my nostrils, causing me to shiver involuntarily.
MC: Hiss, so cold.
Lucien parks the car, then walks to me with luggage in his hand. He takes off his scarf and wraps it around my neck.
Lucien: [chuckles] Be careful not to catch a cold.
MC: The weather forecast clearly said that it's very warm here. If only I had known that this would happen instead, I would have brought a few more warm clothes.
Lucien's dark eyes curve slightly, and his other hand encircles me, shielding me from the cold wind behind.
Lucien: [smiles] Just endure a bit more, we'll be home soon.
I walk alongside him to the eaves of the villa, and once the passcode unlocks, we rush through the door.
This year's winter is unusually harsh. Lucien and I came to this southern town to spend the Spring Festival, and incidentally, to complete a small task.
--A large-scale social experiment about emotions.
Certainly, without a doubt, Lucien is the consultant for this experiment.
I originally planned to leisurely spend a warm winter, but the current temperature is much lower than I imagined. But… I’m already here anyway.
I turn on the heating, and nestle into the soft sofa, waiting for the warmth to set in. I glance at Lucien, who is busy organizing luggage nearby.
MC: Aren't you cold?
Lucien chuckles and folds the scarf that I tossed on the sofa. He then sits beside me and gently takes hold of my wrist.
His palms warmed up without me noticing, and I have no idea when it happened; they are warm and cozy now.
[🥺 He must've warmed it up beforehand, saving the warmth for her… This part is really reminiscent of his bondage date ahah]
Lucien: I'm fine, but considering the size of this villa... it'll take about another ten minutes for the floor heating to warm up.
Lucien doesn't let go but shifts to half-embrace me. He reaches into the open luggage on the table, pulling out a fleece blanket to cover me.
The fleece blanket is originally meant to cover my legs during work, so it feels a bit small when draped over my body. I snuggle into his embrace.
MC: Still a bit cold…
Lucien: [in a gentle tone] Do you need a thicker blanket? I can go to the bedroom and look for one.
I shake my head, looking at Lucien eagerly, then narrow my eyes. The next moment, I gently roll over and pounce on Lucien.
I was originally half-embraced by him, and as my body subtly shifted its weight, my chin came to rest directly against the warm hollow of his collarbone.
MC: The heating is too slow. Can you warm me up instead?
Lucien's gaze briefly glides over my hands embracing him, then returns to my face, gently lifting the corner of his lips.
Lucien: Of course, but rather than saying I want to warm you up, it's more accurate to say I want to be closer to your body temperature.
I gently rub my still cold face against his shoulder, while my hands around his neck quietly seek warmth.
My nose catches the scent of the clothes warmed by his body heat, the familiar scent disperses the chill on my body.
MC: Mmh…
I let out a contented sigh, lazily reluctant to get up, until Lucien's hand gently brushed over my back, carrying a suggestive hint.
Lucien: (whispers) The floor heating is already warming up. It seems this lady needs more than just its temperature.
I sense the chest beneath me vibrating slightly. Lifting my head, I catch Lucien's undisguised smile.
Meeting those cunning eyes, an inexplicable warmth rises in my ears.
MC: It's still early, we need to unpack and check out the rooms and such…
MC: But at this moment... Professor Lucien should know what I need more.
I smoothly climb up to his neck, allowing his hands to linger on my body, letting my skin absorb his warmth.
And then, we maintain this intimate position until heat replaces the last trace of coldness.
Lucien reaches out to touch my heated face, his voice carrying a hint of a smile.
Lucien: [whispers] Do you want to go to the bedroom? We can lie together in the soft blankets, prolonging this experience.
I shake my head reluctantly. He then supports me to stand up from the sofa that's tilted askew.
I gently gather the clothes that had scattered a bit due to our previous action, then wink at him.
MC: Professor Lucien's equipment hasn't been sorted out yet... Perhaps I can go make a cup of coffee. When you're done, we can go back together.
Lucien: Alright.
(T/N: this scene is the least descriptive in the date, but yes, they impliedly had some ‘fun’ here- MC on top (read again on how they maintain the same position while replacing coldness with ‘heat’ and the sus aftermath LOL))
✂———————–
The coffee releases a rich aroma under the brewing hot water. I stroll around as I wait.
The design and decoration of this villa are so simple and spacious, nothing particularly stands out. I circle back to the living room and see Lucien organizing laboratory equipment at the table.
I casually glance at the intricate device in his hands and can't shake the feeling of familiarity.
MC: By the way, I've always forgotten to ask, what is the direction of this social experiment?
MC: All participants are living in a small town for a period of time; I've never been part of such a large-scale experiment before…
Lucien sets down the instruments in his hands, taps on his phone twice, and hands it to me.
Lucien: It's a project in the field of social psychology. Recently, this research has gained significant attention in academic circles, so sponsors decided to fund this large-scale experiment.
MC: Let me see... “Research suggests that couples tend to become more synchronized with each other over time…”
MC: "This synchronization goes beyond habits and lifestyle; it can even manifest in emotions and brainwaves."
MC: Brainwaves synchronize too? Does that mean even our thinking becomes more alike over time?
Lucien: Mm. Neurons in corresponding locations of lovers' brains activate simultaneously, like dancers dancing together.
MC: It's surprising that it can go to such extent…
Lucien looks at my astonished expression without surprise, and his slender fingers carefully move aside the instrument adorned with numerous electrode patches.
Lucien: There are two hundred couples in this experiment. The organizers will track and record them.
Lucien: After sampling the brainwaves, research institutions will verify how the brainwaves of both partners change when they experience emotions.
Sampling brainwaves... I can't help but recall that summer day in the village filled with lotus flowers, where Lucien and I wore special devices while picking lotus.
(T/N: Reference to Lotus Date!)
MC: No wonder! I had a feeling that the device looked familiar. Is it similar to the one we used to measure brainwaves in the lotus village?
Perhaps recalling that same scene, Lucien flashes a faint smile.
Lucien: Indeed similar, but this time, the experiment will include additional measurement parameters to facilitate comparison with the established standards.
Lucien: This is the responsibility I need to oversee—requires precision but is quite relaxed, and won't interfere with our personal schedules.
MC: Hehe, since you say so, I'm going to willfully enjoy your time~
The coffee machine chimes, and I bring two cups of warm coffee, joining Lucien on the sofa.
The already warmed room is filled with the aroma of coffee, and our body temperatures exchange while snuggling together.
MC: No work, no worries, and with you by my side, I'm just too happy~
Lucien blows on the hot coffee, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of 'distress'.
Lucien: It's just a pity that this coffee is a bit too hot and I can't finish it quickly.
Lucien: Although it's still early, we've been on the road all day today, worn out and weary from the journey.
Lucien: I think we can allow ourselves to rest early and recharge.
His voice lowers, steady and gentle, like an unspoken tacit invitation. I instinctively lean in closer.
MC: Let's take a short nap then.
I take Lucien's hand as we rise, lazily leaning against his shoulder as we head towards the bedroom.
In front of the bedroom, Lucien gently holds my chin, gently kissing the corner of my lips. Only then does he push open the door. After that, he pauses slightly.
MC: What's wrong?
With confusion, I looked at the door and froze in place.

—[Part 2]— Video Timestamp: [05:58]
The master bedroom is empty; not only is there no bed, but there is also no furniture inside.
The fleeting sleepiness completely vanishes in an instant. I exchange a glance with Lucien, then we both tacitly turn around and walk towards the other rooms of the villa.
Until we return to the bedroom again, wearing identical puzzled expressions on our faces.
MC: This seems to be the only bedroom… The other rooms are decorated normally, and there are no other empty spaces.
Lucien: Same here.
Lucien knocks on the wall, his brows furrowing in contemplation.
Lucien: No furniture in the storage room could be used as a bed, and none of the sofas are convertible.
MC: ...Could it be a mistake on the part of the organizers?
Lucien: Continuing to speculate won't get us anywhere. We might as well just ask them directly.
On the side, Lucien has already taken out his phone and dialed a number.
Lucien: This is Lucien.
Lucien: Yes, we've encountered some issues…
I wait anxiously for the outcome of the conversation. When Lucien hangs up the phone, he shakes his head with a wry smile.
Lucien: Just been informed that we're also on the list of experiment participants, and the empty bedroom is part of the experiment.
Lucien: The organizers said we can go to the furniture store to choose the furniture we need, and they will cover the expenses.
I raise an eyebrow, unable to resist a quiet grumble.
MC: Nowadays, the responsibilities of scientific consultants are increasing. In addition to supervising experiment sampling, they also have to personally get involved…
MC: We'll have to make sure they get a raise for all this!
Just a moment ago, I was indulging in fantasies of a leisurely vacation life, but reality quickly gave me a small "shock".
I scratch my hair in frustration, while Lucien's gaze remains fixed on my face, seemingly studying my expression.
(And also 'studying' her color too, because MC's mood and emotions affect her 'colors'; i think this experiment regarding emotions will be interesting in his eyes 🥺)
Lucien: Your current mood perfectly validates the effectiveness of their experimental variables. Doesn't it?
He reaches out and patiently smoothes out the tousled hair I've messed up, a smile playing on the corner of his lips.
Lucien: However, it's our freedom to choose whether to participate in the experiment or not. If you're unwilling, there's no need for this classmate to worry, you can just tell me directly.
His gaze is focused and gentle, smoothing away the slight irritation in my heart that arose from the change in our status.
Even though the vacation I had envisioned was about lazily spending time with Lucien…
Having him by my side to participate in this somewhat challenging experiment might lead to even more interesting things happening.
With that in mind, I meet Lucien's gaze and smile at him.
MC: Let's participate!
MC: It's just a small experiment about emotions, I won't be led around by it.
✂———————–
The vehicle comes to a stop at the entrance of the furniture exhibition. Through the large glass walls, the bright and clean exhibition area can be vaguely seen.
On a giant poster, the activity slogan is written: "From loss to rebuilding emotional resonance."
Below the posters, many couples are trying out various styles of furniture, chatting and laughing together.
MC: Ah, this ergonomic chair goes so well with the contemplative design of the bookcase in the villa! How about getting two chairs in different colors?
Lucien: Hmm, the leather on this sofa is very soft, and the crescent-shaped design is quite unique. Would you like to come and lie down with me?
With our shopping list edited and revised, we've almost explored the entire exhibition area of large furniture stores. Unconsciously, the subtle emotions from earlier have already transformed into joy.
As I walk and browse, a model room catches my attention.
From the curtains to the carpet, the model room exudes a strong Bohemian style.
As artificial sunlight streams through the openwork curtains, the light filters in patches, while the knots sway gently, creating the illusion of being in a Central European inn.
I sit on a chair woven from unfamiliar grasses and wood, swaying gently, while holding hands with Lucien, our hands swaying along with the motion.
MC: [smile softly] I feel like I might have grasped a bit of the organizer's intention.
Lucien: Because you encountered some designs that piqued your interest?
MC: Mm, anyway, the visual enjoyment at this moment is wonderful. Like there are pieces of furniture with a nomadic style and—
My hand reaches out towards the dream catcher hanging above, then slowly glides towards Lucien, who is seated beside me.
MC: And amidst all these flowers and greenery, there's the handsome Professor Lucien~
Lucien gently leans to the side, pressing his cheek against the palm of my outstretched hand. Just then, the deliberately subdued argument shattered our sweet atmosphere.
Boy: I told you that this chair wouldn't be comfortable for you to work in, why did you still buy it?
Girl: By your picky selection, we won't even have time to change the furniture tonight, and will end up sleeping on the floor.
MC: ….?
My attention involuntarily shifts towards the arguing couple, and my swaying legs come to a halt.
I casually get up and walk closer, pretending to be nonchalant as I carefully examine the vase in front of me.
Boy: Then blame the experiment, stop picking on me.
Girl: Wasn't it you who wanted to participate in this experiment in the first place? And I came along just to accompany you, didn't I?
MC: ...Did these two argue because of this experiment?
Fortunately, they quickly noticed the increasing number of glances and, after calming down, resumed their conversation in low voices.
My fingertips trace the patterns on the vase when suddenly, a slender and beautiful hand picks up the vase.
A familiar warmth envelops me from behind, as I hear Lucien's soft smiling whisper close to my ear.
Lucien: You seem to really like this vase. How about it, should we buy it and take it home?
My attempt to eavesdrop is exposed by Lucien. I blush, quickly taking the vase from his hand and placing it back where it was.
MC: (blushes and averts eyes) Ahem, it's not like I was intentionally eavesdropping. the voices just seemed to find their way into my ears.
As I speak, I pull him along with a guilty conscience, until we're far enough away for that tense atmosphere to dissipate around us.
Thinking about what just happened, I can't help but compare it to my usual interactions with Lucien.
Even when there are conflicts, it seems like Lucien and I have never slipped into impatience, blaming each other, or avoiding responsibility.
MC: Lucien, I always feel like your emotions are consistently stable…
Lucien: Hm? Why do you suddenly say that?
MC: It's just that when I saw others arguing because of negative emotions influencing each other... I couldn't help but think about myself.
I wrap my arm around Lucien's and give it a gentle shake.
MC: You see, when I'm in front of you, it seems like I've never had any qualms about restraining my emotions.
MC: Because I know that you'll accept all my happiness and unhappiness without reservation.
Lucien squeezes my fingertips and chuckles softly.
Lucien: Of course, that's also something I find intriguing. I'm really fond of your emotions.
MC: Well, if that's the case... then if I could convey more of my happy emotions to you—
MC: Would that make you even happier?
The air is filled with the scent of new wooden furniture, vibrant colors surrounding us. We stroll as if in a bustling campsite nestled within a forest.
Lucien's dark eyes curve as he holds my fingertips.
Lucien: On the contrary, I feel that every human emotion is necessary.
Lucien: The different emotions you display are like refracted rays of exceptionally beautiful and intricate colorful light, which arouses my curiosity deeply—
Lucien: And makes me even more eager to explore the ever-changing and blending patterns of these lights.
Lucien: Like right now.
As if to validate his words, his gaze casts down slightly, and he places a tender kiss on my fingertips.
Even amid the bustling surroundings, I feel like I can hear my own heartbeat, and I can see the happiness in his eyes.
A corner of my heart reverberates, my emotions becoming clearer, and I can vividly feel that we share the same frequency of emotions at this moment.
Uncontrollably, I just want to make this happiness linger longer on his face.
MC: That being said, I still want to try to become "happier" first. After all, I also want to make you happier.
I make a cheering gesture, and a handsome curve forms at the corner of Lucien's lips.
Lucien: [chuckles] Looks like this little lady is full of momentum.
Lucien: In response, I'll also pay closer attention to the emotional feedback I receive from you.
With a smile, Lucien takes the retrieval card from the staff, as the dusk casts its golden glow enchantingly, illuminating the tips of his hair.
Lucien: The purchased furniture is all packed up, and the "bedroom makeover" is still awaiting us.
Lucien: Let's go, back to our home.
