Not long after, Furina went to take a bath.
Furina, who had just finished her meal, liked to rest for a while before bathing, and after bathing, she would go straight to bed and lie down.
She was very lazy... after all, who wouldn't love a super soft and comfortable big bed?
After bathing, and sitting in Liu Yuan's arms to let Liu Yuan help her dry her hair, Furina, wearing only a light nightgown, directly burrowed under the covers.
She held a detective novel in her hand. Compared to the various encyclopedias or profound books that Liu Yuan preferred and she couldn't understand at all, Furina still preferred these tense, exciting, and suspenseful detective novels.
There was a period when she also liked to read ghost stories from Inazuma, but the more she read, the more scared she became, and she even had a nightmare one day, which led Furina to directly abandon that genre of books.
Her courage was indeed a bit small... that's why she chose less frightening detective novels.
She really liked the plot where the protagonist gradually found the murderer and uncovered the truth among various clues.
Sometimes, she would even imagine herself as the protagonist.
Furina, the greatest detective in Fontaine!
It sounds amazing, right!
However, this time, Furina felt inexplicably scared looking at the detective novel in her hand.
This part was about the protagonist being discovered by the mastermind, poisoned by hallucinations, and escaping from the murderer's pursuit.
In it, the protagonist's consciousness shuttled back and forth between illusion and reality, the perspective constantly changed, and there was also a killer chasing her at close quarters.
The somewhat chaotic plot made Furina unable to distinguish whether the protagonist in the book was in an illusion or reality.
She highly suspected the author's mental state when writing this part!
Adhering to the basic principle of "the worse you are, the more you want to play; the more you read, the more hooked you get," Furina couldn't help but continue reading, but also felt inexplicably scared.
"Liu... Liu Yuan…"
Furina was a bit scared. Taking advantage of the chapter just ending, Furina quickly sought outside help.
"Hm?"
"Stay with me... I'm scared..."
Furina looked at Liu Yuan pitifully. She was already somewhat immersed in the protagonist's role, always feeling that a killer might suddenly pop out from somewhere in the room.
She was a bit scared, so she instinctively sought protection. As for the object of her protection? That was naturally Liu Yuan!
Without much hesitation, Liu Yuan approached the bed, and then was pulled onto the bed by Furina.
Snuggling slightly into Liu Yuan's arms, Furina quickly found a comfortable position. The familiar sense of security enveloped her, significantly reducing the fear in Furina's heart.
Opening the book to the place she had marked, Furina started reading again.
Detective Furina is back! Just a mere killer — not scary at all!
At this moment, on the bed in the bedroom, the two girls leaned against each other. Although they were reading different books, their hearts were already connected.
---
A silent night.
The curtains were drawn, and the lights were turned off, leaving only darkness in the room.
However, in this quiet darkness, which was exceptionally suitable for sleeping, there would occasionally be imperceptible sounds of turning pages.
As Liu Yuan finished the last page of "The Art of Baking", she had already memorized 93 different dessert recipes.
"The Art of Baking " mainly focused on desserts like cakes and macarons that required oven assistance.
It wasn't too difficult, at least for Liu Yuan, as long as she paid attention to the proportions of various ingredients, the temperature and time during baking, and the selection of various toppings.
So Liu Yuan planned to try it out when she had the chance, and then... make it for Furina to eat.
Closing the book, Liu Yuan's mind moved, and the book returned to its original place on the bookshelf.
During her time with Furina, the books on the bookshelf had been updated several times, as Liu Yuan read very quickly, basically one book a day.
And it wasn't just superficial reading; she would remember everything after one read and also have her own understanding.
These books are almost finished... I'll have Furina ask those people to send some more in a while...
Liu Yuan thought, briefly calculating how many books were left.
Liu Yuan lowered her head and looked beside her, only to see that Furina had already fallen asleep in her arms.
The detective novel was not finished, with subsequent parts not yet published. After finishing the existing plot, Furina felt very, very sleepy, and holding Liu Yuan, she soon fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Yuan, who was being used as a pillow, continued to read until now.
It was late at night outside. She had barely rested for two consecutive days; starting tomorrow, Furina would have to resume her daily routine.
She slowly adjusted her posture. The sitting posture, convenient for reading, slowly changed. Her hands gently embraced the girl's soft waist, pulling her into her arms.
Although Liu Yuan didn't need to sleep, she didn't mind having a "pillow."
Slowly drawing closer, the distance between their two heads gradually narrowed. In the dark environment, Liu Yuan could still clearly see the girl's appearance.
She slept so long during the day, yet still wanted to sleep at night. Was this a special talent?
Mimicking Furina, Liu Yuan also closed her eyes.
Liu Yuan, who understood her inner thoughts, now enjoyed every moment with Furina. Although she didn't need to sleep, she was very willing if it meant accompanying Furina.
At this moment, the room fell silent.
The young woman used the girl as a pillow, sleeping soundly.
