My love game is too abstract

"It's just that my mom and dad said they were worried about me being alone, so I told them I had a boyfriend taking care of me! It doesn't mean anything else! Don't overthink it! Please, don't overthink it!"

Serena's face turned completely red, eager to prove that she really didn't have any ulterior motives.

"I'm just saying, you're really going a bit..."

Yarrow scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment. Serena pursed her lips, turning her face away from him, the shyness on her face still present.

"What else did you tell them in the letter?" Yarrow asked.

"I just said that I'm living with my boyfriend now, and we plan to apply to the academy together, and we're studying together," Serena glanced at him secretly: "I didn't go into detail about the specifics here. I said that the three years I was a bear and lost contact, I went to the Southern Continent to train. I met a fellow traveler there, and we got together, and only returned to the Royal Capital a month ago."

"Nothing else?"

"Nothing."

"So, the current situation is..." Yarrow looked at her, "...you need a boyfriend?"

Serena sat down again, her eyes looking at the table.

"I've already said those things. They were already worried about me disappearing for three years. I'm their only child, so if, if Mom and Dad found out I was lying to them and came over and saw the real situation, they would definitely worry about me, so..."

She finished speaking, and met Yarrow's gaze. After their eyes met, she quickly looked away.

An awkward silence fell. Serena didn't say anything more, but Yarrow knew what she meant.

After a moment, he said, "How long until your parents arrive?"

"At the earliest, three days, if they leave tomorrow," Serena said. "If I had to guess, they'll stay here for at least a day."

Yarrow sighed.

"Then let's prepare," he said.

Serena looked at him: "Prepare...?"

"Yes, prepare to welcome your parents," Yarrow raised his hand and patted her shoulder forcefully.

"Let me be your boyfriend for a day!"

"You--"

"That's right. After all, you've been busy with my entrance exam for so long. What's helping you with this little thing count for?"

Looking at Yarrow's firm gaze, the blush that had just faded on Serena's face quickly rose again, and she stammered:

"Okay, okay, well, this, well, that is to say, because there's no other way... or anything. After all, after all, this is the only way now. I, I still..."

She said incoherently, finally pursing her lips, her face so hot that you could see steam rising from it:

"Thank you!"

"Eh? Serena's mom and dad are coming?"

In the living room, facing Little Snake, Fox, and Little Ji, Yarrow announced the news.

"Isn't that great? You can see your family," Peach Fox looked at Serena, who was frowning, and asked in confusion.

"The problem is that the situation Serena told her family is a bit different from what's going on here," Yarrow said.

"Specifically, she said that she has a boyfriend and is living with him, so that her family wouldn't worry about their daughter being alone."

"Boyfriend..."

Ji Xiaofei tilted her head and thought for a moment, then looked at Serena: "Could it be that Yarrow is now going to be Serena's boyfriend?"

"Ugh..." Serena hummed in embarrassment.

"That's right," Yarrow sighed.

"Then, what do you need us to do?" Peach Fox asked in confusion.

"Because Serena said that she's living with her boyfriend now, but if her parents come and see that there are so many other girls in this house, they'll definitely find it strange," Yarrow said, looking at the three girls:

"So... you might need to go out and stay for a night, and then come back the next day."

As soon as these words came out, the three girls looked at each other.

"I've already talked to Martha about it. She's happy for you to visit her farm and will prepare a barbecue feast to entertain you."

At this time, Serena stood up and bowed solemnly to them.

"I'm sorry! I'm troubling everyone! Please forgive my selfishness!"

"Oh, this isn't a big deal. I don't think it's a problem to go out and stay for a day," Peach Fox said quickly.

"Little Ji is okay too."

"Me too," Lulu La said. "Serena usually takes such good care of me, helping with this little thing is nothing!"

"Everyone... thank you..." Serena looked at them, her heart feeling warm.

Yarrow felt a little relieved. Peach Fox and the others were settled, but the key was that there was still one person who wasn't easy to talk to. If he used the same method, she probably wouldn't accept...

He knocked on Zessiah's door, and after getting permission from inside, he pushed the door open.

The silver dragon was still lazily lying on the bed reading a book, her two slender legs swaying back and forth.

"What?" The silver dragon said, with a finger biscuit in her mouth, flipping through the pages without raising her head.

"Zessiah, have you... thought about going out to play recently?" Yarrow asked tentatively.

"No," the silver dragon replied bluntly.

"Really? You've been in the room for days. You haven't even left the house. It must be boring to always stay at home, right?" Yarrow said.

"You're so annoying. What I want to do is none of your business?" Zessiah looked over impatiently.

Seeing that talking to her like this wouldn't work, Yarrow had no choice but to change his tactics. He took out an invitation card from his pocket:

"This is a VIP card for the O'Glan Grand Hotel in the city. With this card, you can experience a luxurious all-day all-you-can-eat buffet, and there are also servants in the VIP suite. The treatment is top-notch. Well... I wanted to offer it to the great Zessiah."

In order to satisfy the silver dragon, he spent a full fifteen gold langs to get this VIP card. He really went all out.

Only then did Zessiah prop herself up, grab the card, look at it for a few times, frown, and look at him:

"Speak, what do you want to ask me to do again?"

"Nothing, I just want to make the great Zessiah happy." Yarrow's face showed a very loyal expression.

"Do you think I'll believe that?" Zessiah glared at him.

"Okay..." Yarrow had no choice but to admit: "...To be honest, it's because Serena's family is coming in a few days."

Zessiah seemed a little puzzled: "So what? What does that have to do with me?"

"I just mean, they're all ordinary people after all. If they see you, a dragonkin, here, they might feel a little uneasy."

"Huh? What? Are they afraid that I'll eat them?" Zessiah said amusingly.

"Not really, it's just that your aura is too strong. So, I hope that day, Zessiah, you can avoid showing up as much as possible, and use this card to stay out for a day. Anyway, that day we'll be entertaining them, and we won't be able to take care of you."

Yarrow showed a pleading expression.

Zessiah's expression seemed to change for a moment, but then quickly returned to normal: "Fine, I'll help you with this favor, so you won't say I'm being unreasonable later."

"Thank you so much, Great Zessiah."

After convincing the silver dragon, Yarrow walked out of the room and entered the study. Serena, who was sitting inside, quickly stood up, looking at him with a questioning face.

"Got it settled," Yarrow gave her an okay sign.
