Furina, meanwhile, pulled the blanket up to her chest, wrapping her entire body to avoid being taken advantage of by a certain 'big pervert' again.
But as soon as she saw those deep blue eyes, Furina became furious, a blush appearing on her cheeks.
After a long stare, the silent Furina suddenly spoke in a low voice.
"...Clothes."
"What?"
Liu Yuan hadn't heard clearly, or rather, she hadn't heard clearly because her mind was preoccupied. Liu Yuan was trying to forget some images that had inexplicably appeared in her mind, but the more she tried, the clearer those images became.
Liu Yuan even had an impulse at this moment... an impulse to devour Furina.
But this thought was suppressed by Liu Yuan's rationality.
Furina had just finished engraving the Alchemical Matrix, and her body was weak.
How could you have such a thought?! At least wait until her body recovers... Wait, why am I having this thought again?
All sorts of strange thoughts uncontrollably surged forth. Liu Yuan repeatedly cleared the abnormally chaotic thoughts in her mind and tried to stop thinking so much.
Suppressing her inner thoughts took up most of Liu Yuan's mental energy, so she hadn't heard Furina's words clearly.
Seeing Liu Yuan's absent-minded reply and her failure to hear her, Furina became furious again and was about to grab another pillow to hit Liu Yuan, but then she suddenly realized all the pillows seemed to have been thrown.
She could only speak again, but this time her voice was significantly louder:
"Clothes!"
Liu Yuan finally reacted and nodded gently.
"Understood."
Then... she slowly moved towards Furina on the bed.
Furina: !!!
Liu Yuan slowly approached, then sat on the bed and reached her hand under the blanket...
"Wait! What are you doing?!"
Furina shrank back, then hugged the blanket and quickly retreated, looking warily at Liu Yuan, who seemed to be plotting against her. Liu Yuan, meanwhile, looked at Furina in confusion:
"Putting clothes on you, what's wrong?"
"Then why did you come over?!"
"It'll be faster to just create the clothes directly with Alchemy."
Liu Yuan said sincerely, though it didn't rule out her having other intentions.
Upon hearing Liu Yuan's explanation, Furina finally calmed down. When Liu Yuan had suddenly approached her, she had thought Liu Yuan was going to do something to her!
"Oh..."
Furina's body stiffened, a hint of inexplicable disappointment flashing in her heart...
Wait! No, why am I disappointed?! What's there to be disappointed about?! Furina, what's wrong with you?! Don't you know how to be a little more reserved?!
Furina suppressed all the strange thoughts in her mind, while Liu Yuan, seeing Furina didn't resist, continued to reach her hand under the blanket.
Her fingertips lightly touched Furina's body. Liu Yuan felt Furina's body tremble slightly, and then the Alchemical Matrix instantly spread over Furina's entire body. In just an instant, a light blue, thin nightgown was placed on Furina's body.
Feeling the clothes appear on her body, Furina finally breathed a sigh of relief, followed by another inexplicable sense of loss. But this loss appeared for only a short while before Furina suppressed it.
"How do you feel?"
"Alright..."
Furina released the blanket, revealing her body clad in the light blue nightgown.
This nightgown was almost identical to the one she usually wore, so Furina felt no discomfort. She stretched her body slightly, feeling her still weak physique. Furina sighed, it seemed that, as Liu Yuan had said, it would take several days to recover.
She looked at Liu Yuan and asked, "How long has it been?"
"The matrix engraving took half an hour, then you were unconscious for four hours. It's eleven o'clock at night now. There's still a trial tomorrow, so would you like to take a day off?"
Liu Yuan asked tentatively, while Furina gently shook her head:
"No need, it won't affect anything. No need to take time off. But I might not be able to rehearse tomorrow, I'll just observe. It won't affect the schedule for the next few days, it's fine."
The only problem was... she was a little hungry now...
Although she had eaten several grilled fish in the afternoon, she was still very hungry now. It seemed that engraving the matrix had also consumed some energy from her body, leaving her extremely hungry.
Rubbing her stomach, Furina decided to go to sleep now and sleep until morning to eat breakfast. As long as she was asleep, she wouldn't feel hungry...
Furina's body suddenly stiffened because she saw Liu Yuan taking out various desserts one by one from light blue bubbles and placing them on a table Liu Yuan had condensed with the hydro element.
Noticing Furina looking at her with shining eyes, Liu Yuan explained:
"I made these while you were unconscious. Your body is different now and needs more energy to maintain its functions, so you need to eat more."
"You didn't eat dinner, so eat a bit more now."
Liu Yuan's tone was gentle, and Furina reacted, her eyes sparkling at the various desserts in front of her.
Did Liu Yuan mean... she could eat as much as she wanted?!
Her heterochromatic eyes turned into star-shaped eyes. Furina reached out and took the spoon from Liu Yuan's hand, then carefully scooped a piece of the cake closest to her and put it directly into her mouth.
The perfectly balanced sweetness made Furina close her eyes to fully enjoy it. Opening her eyes, Furina looked ahead.
The desserts in front of her awaited Furina's tasting, while Liu Yuan sat beside her, placing some of her favorite desserts in front of her.
"Can I really eat as much as I want?"
Furina asked again.
Liu Yuan nodded gently:
"Mhm, your body needs energy now, so you need to eat more."
Liu Yuan paused, then added, "You won't gain weight."
Instantly, a feeling of happiness filled Furina's heart. She looked at Liu Yuan and cheered:
"Yay! Liu Yuan is the best!"
