Tonight's dinner consisted of tomates narbonnaises, garlic breadsticks, cream of mushroom soup, with desserts being crystal snail cake, rainbow macarons, and chocolate pudding.
Normally, Liu Yuan would slightly limit Furina's dessert intake, as the amount of post-dinner sweets was almost equal to the dinner itself.
After all, the book 'Healthy Eating' clearly stated that excessive sugar intake leads to obesity. Although Furina's body remained stable due to her peculiar energy, there were still some effects, however minor.
However, Liu Yuan didn't say anything this time, as Furina hadn't eaten anything all day.
She had stayed up all night, then started sleeping in the morning, only to be disturbed again after waking up groggily, finally getting up at six in the evening.
Furina, who hadn't eaten all day, had a rumbling stomach long ago, but first due to drowsiness, then due to someone's antics, she barely had a chance to feel hungry.
Now that she had calmed down, Furina realized how incredibly hungry she was.
At the dining table, Furina, having just finished dinner, was delicately eating her dessert, enjoying the delicious food, which was also something she loved.
It's worth noting that because she was too hungry and wanted to eat dinner quickly, Furina had only thrown on a jacket before coming out.
Her bare feet dangled above the ground because the chair was a bit high, and she unconsciously swung them with the joy of enjoying the food.
Liu Yuan unconsciously averted her gaze.
The old her wouldn't have thought much about Furina's actions; after all, she didn't have so many thoughts about Furina back then, but now...
At the dining table, Furina pushed the empty plate aside, then pulled the chocolate pudding from the other side in front of her.
Reaching out, Furina picked up a spoon, gently scooped a small piece, and put it directly into her mouth. The sweet taste of chocolate instantly filled her mouth, making Furina's eyes light up.
Although it wasn't the first time she had eaten pudding, Furina always treated it as a new dessert each time, so she could always feel happy.
She eagerly scooped another small piece, but this time, Furina suddenly paused and turned to look at Liu Yuan beside her.
The maid responsible for serving food had already left after placing the dishes, so at this moment, only she and Liu Yuan remained in the room, which is why she looked directly at Liu Yuan without reservation.
"Liu Yuan, try this, it's delicious!"
Furina held up the spoon. This time, it was purely a sudden whim. The Liu Yuan of the past didn't have a real body; at most, it was a body condensed from hydro element, so she naturally couldn't eat.
But now, Liu Yuan clearly had her own real body, exactly like a normal human, so she should be able to eat, right?
With anticipation in her eyes, Furina looked at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan was slightly stunned. Indeed, as Furina thought, she could eat all sorts of food after having a real body, but Liu Yuan had never done so.
After all, for her, there was no need. Liu Yuan didn't need to ingest any external energy to maintain her existence; this was one of her characteristics that she had discovered herself.
However...
Liu Yuan didn't speak; she simply leaned in and ate the pudding from the spoon.
The sweet and sour taste appeared in Liu Yuan's mouth for the first time; this was also her first attempt at human food.
"So... food tastes like this?"
She seemed to understand why Furina was so happy every time she ate dessert; this taste indeed made one feel pleasant.
"Hehehe... Isn't it delicious?"
"Delicious..."
Liu Yuan nodded lightly, but a thought unconsciously popped into her mind — Can I make it myself?
Yes, that's Liu Yuan for you. When faced with the unknown, Liu Yuan's first reaction is curiosity, followed by rational consideration of whether she can master it.
Just like when she first saw Neuvillette use elemental power, she was curious at first, then considered whether she could master it, and after casually trying it, she learned to control elemental power.
At this moment, Liu Yuan had the same thought.
Furina, however, didn't notice Liu Yuan's daze and continued to happily enjoy the pudding in her hand with a spoon.
Although Liu Yuan was more important, the pudding was also delicious!
After thinking for a moment, Furina scooped another spoonful of pudding and fed it to Liu Yuan, who again ate it directly.
Furina's eyes sparkled; she inexplicably experienced the joy of feeding a pet.
Am I... feeding Liu Yuan?
Furina's eyes flickered; she suddenly found it very interesting.
The pudding was eaten by Furina, one bite for herself, then one bite for Liu Yuan.
This feeling of "double happiness" inexplicably captivated Furina.
Before long, one serving of pudding was finished by the two of them together.
The empty plate was set aside, and Furina picked up the crystal snail cake from beside it, as usual, taking a bite herself, then letting Liu Yuan have a bite.
As usual, Liu Yuan ate the remaining half of the crystal snail cake from Furina's hand. Furina nodded in satisfaction, then was about to withdraw her hand, but found her wrist held by Liu Yuan.
Furina: ???
Liu Yuan leaned in close to Furina, then ate the remnants of crystal snail cake from the corner of Furina's mouth, a peculiar light flashing in her deep blue eyes.
Furina stood frozen in place until Liu Yuan finished the crystal snail cake and looked at her with a slight smile in her deep blue eyes, only then did she realize what had happened.
"It's delicious..."
Liu Yuan leaned close to Furina's ear and whispered.
Furina could even feel the warm breath from Liu Yuan as she spoke, and her cheeks, against her will, flushed red again.
How did Liu Yuan suddenly become so skilled at this?!
Completely... completely irresistible!!!
Furina's cheeks were crimson; she quickly withdrew her hand, lowering her head, not daring to look at Liu Yuan. This woman— Liu Yuan —had become bad now! Hmm... truly too bad!
And looking at Furina, who was blushing, head down, with steam faintly rising from her head, Liu Yuan only found it interesting.
Perhaps, in addition to reading, she could add a hobby, such as... occasionally teasing Furina?
Liu Yuan's emotional system began to build little by little, centered on Furina, and Furina, as the center, would gradually experience an emotional Liu Yuan.
This was Liu Yuan's change, and this change was still growing little by little.
After dinner, the time came to seven o'clock.
Furina and Liu Yuan returned to the bedroom. It wasn't too late, so Furina took out the script that hadn't been fully revised yet.
Holding a pen, Furina opened the script, but this time, reading the script, Furina had a different feeling.
In the past, when revising the script, Furina easily got into the role of "Namiya" and would start to envy "Namiya" as she revised.
After all, unlike her, Namiya had a trustworthy "Ghost" accompanying her from the beginning, while Furina herself had spent five hundred years alone in solitude.
However, this time when she re-read the story, she no longer felt that envy. Now, she was no longer alone; she also had her own exclusive "Ghost."
Silently putting down the pen in her hand, Furina looked at Liu Yuan, who was quietly reading a book by the desk.
Liu Yuan, feeling the familiar gaze, turned her head and looked at Furina with a hint of confusion.
However, Furina didn't speak; she just put down the pen in her hand, turned her body, and opened her arms.
Liu Yuan was slightly stunned, then understood Furina's meaning. The book in her hand returned to its rightful place. Opening her arms and leaning slightly, Liu Yuan embraced the girl.
"It's so good to have you..."
The girl murmured softly, closing her eyes, feeling the incredibly reassuring presence of the woman.
She... truly didn't envy her at all now.
