Volume 2 + Chapter 50: Telepathic Connection
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll also sleep on the sofa to take care of Miss Vanessa?”
“I’ve already been greatly taken care of by you, and I really dare not ask for more.” Vanessa still maintained a polite smile, but forehead lines appeared on her head.
“Hey, it’s no problem, you see, my sofa is so big, it can definitely fit two people? If Miss Vanessa needs to get up in the middle of the night, I can also help her to the bathroom…”
“Please, stop…saying…such…strange..things!” Vanessa finally couldn’t take it anymore and said with embarrassment, word by word.
Getting up in the middle of the night? How could she say such things to a girl like her?
And helping her? Even if she really couldn’t hold it, she wouldn’t let Aesphyra help her!
She would just… maybe, reluctantly, let Aesphyra help?
Thinking of the consequences, Vanessa’s firm attitude immediately softened.
‘Virtue + 50.’
‘Current Virtue: 5304.’
Heh, heh…
This bad destiny heroine, could she be deliberately saying these things to provoke this reaction from her??
Looking at Aesphyra’s slightly pleased smile, Vanessa felt it was very likely.
Why is this delicate and beautiful silver-haired cat so mean?? Does she just like teasing her so much??
No, no, something’s not right, being treated like a dog as a male was one thing, but why does she still have to be teased by her even after turning into a female??
Then didn’t she change for nothing??
Tonight she had gotten a lot of virtue from, which should have been good news, but Vanessa couldn’t feel happy at all.
Aesphyra was the first heroine who made her feel that even after exposing her virtue, she didn’t gain anything, and even felt like she had lost.
“Sorry, sorry~ I misspoke, I was worried that something might happen to Miss Vanessa in the middle of the night and that I would be needed.” Aesphyra lightly covered her mouth.
“Nothing will happen to me, I feel much better now, so there’s no need for Miss Aesphyra to worry.”
“Okay then, if Miss Vanessa is tired and wants to sleep, I’ll heat up some water for you first?”
“? Miss Aesphyra, in my current state, even if you heat up the water, I don’t think I can go take a bath.”
“It’s okay, didn’t I say I can help Miss Vanessa to the bath~”
“No, need.” Vanessa took a deep breath. “How could I trouble you so much? I can manage on my own.”
Is she not letting go of any opportunity to take advantage??
“But, Miss Vanessa, you can’t even move?” Aesphyra looked very worried. “Don’t push yourself, okay? If you need my help, you can ask anytime?”
“Or is Miss Vanessa shy?” Aesphyra tilted her head, looking at Vanessa with a strange expression. “Really, we’re both girls, why is Miss Vanessa shy?”
“Even though Miss Vanessa keeps saying she’s straight, she gets shy about bathing with other girls, really~ Maybe Miss Vanessa hasn’t realized that she’s not as straight as she claims?” Aesphyra teased, her eyes like agate stones, filled with colorful light.
“That’s not the case, in fact, I feel like I’m about to regain my mobility, so I won’t trouble Miss Aesphyra anymore.” Vanessa moved her fingers to show that she didn’t need her help.
Although not bathing would make her feel uncomfortable, but if Aesphyra helped, it wouldn’t just be discomfort.
She could only endure it, hoping to regain her mobility soon.
“Is that so? Then okay, since Miss Vanessa says so, but if you need anything, just call me, okay?” Aesphyra smiled and sat down on the sofa, habitually picking up a book, turning on the table lamp, and opening the page with the bookmark.
It seemed she had read up to here a few days ago.
Having nothing to do, Vanessa curiously glanced over and found it was a book about ancient history of the continent.
Seeing the silver-haired girl under the shadow of the lamp, her snow-white eyelashes dusted with light, her eyes slightly lowered, she looked stunningly beautiful.
If only her personality wasn’t so mischievous.
“Miss Vanessa, are you interested in history?” Seeing Vanessa’s gaze, Aesphyra looked up and smiled.
“Somewhat, Miss Aesphyra seems very interested in history, I see so many books in your house, you’re quite a book lover.” Vanessa raised an eyebrow.
“Me? Actually, besides passing time, I mainly read to see how others interpret things, interpret the world.” Aesphyra propped her cheek with one hand, meaningfully saying.
“Since we’re just idling, would Miss Vanessa like to hear a bedtime story? I can read it to you?”
“If it’s not too much trouble for Miss Aesphyra.”
“Of course not.” Aesphyra cleared her throat and began reading the contents of the book she was reading, with emotion and expression.
It must be said, Aesphyra’s voice was very pleasant, her elegant and soft tone was even more pleasing than a broadcaster’s, very suitable for reading stories.
Although Vanessa was also somewhat interested in history, the content of this book involves many related professional knowledge and historical event investigations, leading to the drawn conclusions.
Although Vanessa could understand these things, perhaps because of the exhaustion, her spirit was already worn out.
In this warm villa, under the swaying soft lamplight, and with the silver-haired girl’s melodious voice reading, drowsiness gradually sets in.
Her eyelids drooped, and finally, her body and spirit completely relaxed, lying on the sofa, breathing gradually steadying.
Aesphyra closed the book, stood up, and walked over to the sleeping cherry-haired girl with even breathing, picking up a strand of the slightly messy peach-colored hair on the girl’s forehead, smoothing it out.
Gazing at the girl’s breathtakingly beautiful sleeping face, she slightly leaned down, like a noble princess cat eyeing its prey, licking her lips.
After a while, she sniffed the lingering scent of hair on her hand, a faint smile on her lips, and whispered softly in the cherry-haired girl’s ear. “Sweet dreams~ Dear, I hope one day you can open your heart to me.”
Then, Aesphyra found a quilt and gently covered Vanessa, turned off the light, and with a flick of her silver hair, quietly went upstairs, like a cat, making no sound, including when washing up.
Late at night.
Perhaps because she was sleeping in an unfamiliar place, or perhaps she really wasn’t used to the sofa, Vanessa suddenly woke up.
She found herself covered with a quilt with a cartoon-style white cat design, exuding a comforting cold fragrance of roses and roses, refreshing the mind.
Needless to say, this was naturally Aesphyra’s quilt, with her hair and body scent, obviously used by Aesphyra.
Looking at the dark living room, she wondered when she had fallen asleep.
Where was Aesphyra? Did she leave after seeing her asleep and covering her with the quilt?
Vanessa looked at her clothes, which hadn’t been touched, everything was as it was before she fell asleep, except for the quilt covering her.
Was she too tired? She couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.
And right under Aesphyra’s watch.
Could it be that being with Aesphyra gave her a sense of security??
Vanessa shook her head, dispelling such thoughts.
Looking on the bright side, this was also a good thing, because if she were still awake, she would definitely be struggling with whether to take a bath or not, and falling asleep directly would avoid such dilemmas.
Moreover, after sleeping, the fatigue was gone, and she felt very refreshed now.
With a thought, she raised her hand and was surprised to find that her body could move.
Finally, she didn’t have to be a wooden figure anymore, she had to quickly inform Mirexia that she was safe.
So, Vanessa pushed the quilt aside, her white stockings with some fabric wrinkles at the ankles, and stepped onto the ground.
But she wasn’t in a hurry to leave, after thinking about it, she felt it would be better to leave a note for Aesphyra.
Well, it’s not that she’s afraid this annoying person would worry about her, it’s just that she’s helped her so many times, it would be impolite to leave without saying goodbye.
So, Vanessa found paper and pen, wrote a line of delicate and neat handwriting, informing Aesphyra that she had left, thanking her for her help, the handwriting as beautiful as she was.
Thinking about it, Vanessa also left a strand of her hair on the note, then found a cloak in Aesphyra’s entrance cabinet to cover her face, and then put on the white boots at the entrance and left Aesphyra’s villa.
She had borrowed Aesphyra’s cloak, and she wrote in the note, she would return it to Aesphyra when she had the chance.
After putting on the cloak, covering her face, especially her hair, Vanessa pushed open the door, gently closed it, and left Aesphyra’s dormitory.
It was so late, Aesphyra must still be sleeping, she wouldn’t disturb her.
It was late at night, the sky was still dark, but there might be people on the streets, after all, there were many injuries, after the war, Carillian Academy would mobilize all rescue forces to search for students, repair buildings, assess disaster losses, etc., in short, there was a lot of work.
At such an important time, Mirexia, the overtime princess, will definitely not be resting, which also makes Vanessa very troubled, where to find Mirexia.
No one can say for sure where the student council president had been dispatched to work at this time.
At such a time, the first person she wanted to find was naturally her childhood friend and most trusted friend, Mirexia.
Generally, when people are in urgent need of help, the first person they think of is their parents, but Vanessa’s parents had passed away, so the first person she thought of was her most trusted childhood friend.
So, where would she be now?
While Vanessa was worried, an image from her childhood inexplicably flashed through her mind.
‘Mirexia, Mirexia! What if we encounter some trouble in the future and can’t contact each other?? How about we make a promise, if one day we can’t find each other, we’ll meet at the local park! Okay??’
The blue-haired boy said, holding the golden-haired girl’s hand, and they made a pinky promise.
Right, the park, maybe she could go to the academy’s park to see??
But, this was a childhood promise, she didn’t know if Mirexia still remembered.
Moreover, there were so many parks in the academy, how could she determine which one it was?
But now, although it was still late at night, the academy was extremely busy, most students couldn’t sleep, there must be many people on the streets.
If that’s the case, if Mirexia still remembers this promise, the place she will definitely go to is obvious.
So, Vanessa, cloaked, sneaked into the night, heading towards the destination in her mind.
As she expected, it was very lively tonight, pedestrians everywhere, mostly teachers and medical personnel, and some anxious students.
Although the teachers repeatedly urged them to return to their dormitories, the academy was safe now, and they should rest and recover during these days, but there were still some students huddling together, peeking out to see the situation.
It was more lively at night than during the day.
In such a situation, every park in the academy would have people, except… the abandoned park in a certain abandoned school building.
Here, as usual, there was no sign of anyone, and Vanessa wasn’t sure if Mirexia would be inside.
The cherry-haired girl, cloaked, entered the abandoned park, and at first glance, she caught sight of the golden figure wandering aimlessly in the abandoned park.
And as if there was a telepathic connection, the golden figure also looked over the moment Vanessa stepped into the park, their eyes meeting in the air.
The moment she saw the cloaked girl, the scattered beautiful eyes like sapphire beads instantly focused, the golden-haired girl stood still, even though she couldn’t see the face of the cloaked girl in the night, she still felt that the person in front of her was the one she had been waiting for.
“…Vanessa, is that you?” Mirexia called out tentatively.
The cloaked girl was silent for a moment, then took off the cloak covering her face and hair.
Mirexia, looking slightly nervous, watched, and when she saw the familiar face under the cloak, stunningly beautiful and hard to look away from, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the heavy stone in her heart was removed.
Half a day had passed since ‘the goddess returned to the divine realm’.
Mirexia thought Vanessa had returned to the Saintess Selina Cathedral, and to prevent her from being seen by others and exposing her identity, Mirexia immediately flew to the Holy Church, wanting to rescue Vanessa at the first opportunity, but when she arrived at the Saintess Selina Cathedral’s Radiance residence, she found that Vanessa was not there.
