Furina, who had begun her fantasy time, didn't know that a pair of deep blue eyes were watching her in the darkness.
The darkness couldn't obstruct Liu Yuan's vision, and naturally, Liu Yuan clearly saw all of Furina's little movements, and also saw Furina's increasingly flushed cheeks.
At the same time, Liu Yuan also knew that Furina was awake.
After a person wakes up, their mental state will fluctuate slightly from a stable state, and Liu Yuan could easily perceive these changes. It was precisely because of this that Liu Yuan knew Furina had woken up earlier.
But Liu Yuan didn't expose her; after all, Furina pretending to be asleep at this moment was simply too adorable, making Liu Yuan somewhat reluctant to break the scene.
Her slight movement was to put her arm around Furina's waist to prevent her from falling, but when her hand touched Furina's waist, Liu Yuan clearly felt Furina's body stiffen for a moment.
But after realizing Liu Yuan had no further movements, she slowly relaxed again.
Watching the girl try to suppress any sound, Liu Yuan only found it amusing. The book, levitated by the hydro element, moved a little further away, and Liu Yuan freed her other hand, gently tapping Furina's forehead with her finger.
She once again felt Furina's body stiffen for a moment. Hmm, the girl's control over her own body still seemed to need improvement.
Her deep blue eyes lowered slightly, and her finger casually slid from her smooth forehead to the tip of her nose, then from the tip of her nose to her already abnormally flushed cheeks.
An inexplicable impulse guided Liu Yuan's actions. It seemed this was the first time she could examine the girl's appearance up close. Her index finger gently touched the girl's cheek. Compared to other parts of the girl's face, her cheek felt warmer, which made Liu Yuan a little curious.
Why... is it so hot?
Her index finger and thumb gently pinched Furina's cheek, and a smooth, milk-like sensation appeared at her fingertips.
The girl's cheeks were plump, which inexplicably reminded Liu Yuan of Furina's puffed-up cheeks when she got angry at her, making her wonder, "What would it feel like to pinch them?"
However, Furina, whose cheek was being pinched by Liu Yuan, naturally didn't feel so good. Liu Yuan's fingers were slightly cool and tickled her cheek, which made her a little uncomfortable.
But she didn't want Liu Yuan to know that she was pretending to sleep, so she didn't resist at all, letting Liu Yuan pinch her cheek.
Liu Yuan didn't pinch for long, then let go of her hand.
She now somewhat didn't understand why Furina was pretending to sleep when she was clearly awake. She wanted to wake Furina up, but she found Furina in her feigned sleep so interesting.
And Furina only felt Liu Yuan's fingers slide off her cheek and finally let go, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. However, the next moment, Liu Yuan's fingers appeared again, then tapped her... lips!
For an instant, both Liu Yuan and Furina were stunned.
This feeling...
Liu Yuan slightly raised her eyes. The sensation from her fingertips was so similar to that cool touch from last night's memory... No, not similar, but... it was!
So... the so-called "contract" was a kiss?
Liu Yuan's eyes lowered slightly, her deep blue gaze staring at Furina's peaceful sleeping face. An inexplicable thought appeared in Liu Yuan's mind.
And Furina completely dared not move.
She was resting on Liu Yuan's chest, listening to Liu Yuan's heartbeat. When Liu Yuan's fingers touched her lips just now, Liu Yuan's heartbeat instantly quickened!
Liu Yuan... wouldn't she want to do something to me?
Should I be a little more reserved... resist a little?
Unhealthy thoughts once again filled Furina's mind, making her originally calm thoughts chaotic again. However, Furina still remained still, pretending to be asleep.
She was a little curious about what Liu Yuan would do next. She was very curious, and... with a hint of anticipation.
Liu Yuan seemed to have changed a little. This was something Furina had noticed. Whether it was her smile this morning or Liu Yuan's actions just now, they were all different from the Liu Yuan she remembered...
No, that's not right. It should be said that Liu Yuan was changing little by little.
Furina briefly recalled that ever since Liu Yuan appeared by her side, those deep blue eyes had been changing little by little.
When they first met, Liu Yuan's deep blue eyes were like stubborn ice, making her a little afraid to approach, giving Furina a sense of authority similar to Neuvillette's.
However, after spending a short time with Liu Yuan, she learned that the so-called "aloofness" was actually a "bewilderment" toward various unknown things.
Liu Yuan, who suddenly appeared by her side as a "spirit behind her," had no memories, so the initial Liu Yuan was a blank slate regarding everything.
In the first few days of their acquaintance, Furina thought Liu Yuan was her hallucination, believing that Liu Yuan would naturally dissipate in a few days, so she didn't pay much attention.
And similarly, in the first few days, Liu Yuan also didn't pay attention to Furina, but was in a state of observation.
Observing the world, observing her.
During this process, Liu Yuan seemed to have started to change.
And in the first few days, through the words and actions of others, she gradually understood some basic human common sense.
For example, apologies need to be sincere, and it's best to offer a gift that sufficiently expresses regret.
Later, when Furina began to realize that Liu Yuan was not her hallucination, but rather an existence similar to a spirit behind her, Furina was quite happy.
At that time, she hadn't developed any other feelings for Liu Yuan, but was simply relaxed about having a friend she could talk to.
And during that time, not only was Liu Yuan observing her, but she was also observing Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan liked to read — she liked to read all kinds of books. From books, Liu Yuan learned a lot of knowledge.
During this period, Liu Yuan was less taciturn compared to her initial self. When she encountered problems, Liu Yuan would always speak up to remind her, which the initial Liu Yuan would not have done.
At first, she thought this was because their relationship had improved, so Liu Yuan spoke up to help her, but from the current perspective, it was probably not the case.
Liu Yuan was learning little by little and gradually growing into a complete Liu Yuan.
This was something Furina suddenly realized.
The initial Liu Yuan was like a blank sheet of paper, a bit incomplete. Through continuous learning and observation, different colors were drawn on that blank paper.
Liu Yuan was still Liu Yuan, but she was changing, just like a child gradually grows into an adult.
Her personality gradually moved from childishness to maturity, and her mind became more and more complete.
The child and the adult she grows into are the same person, but her body and mind have changed.
Liu Yuan was similar in this way; during her more than half a year of life with her, Liu Yuan's personality also gradually changed.
