Chapter 13 Feeding
“Stop squirming around.”
“Oh…”
Night Star, who was twisting and turning excitedly, finally stopped.
She got carried away.
Did she look like a maggot just now?
That’s so embarrassing.
But Luo Xi probably wouldn’t mind, right?
Just as Night Star Lan thought, she suddenly felt her head being stroked by a tiny hand.
Is Luo Xi copying her?
Night Star Lan suddenly remembered something.
Back then, when Luo Xi gave Night Star a foot pillow, she’d ask Night Star to do the same for her later.
The same went when they went shopping for clothes.
Night Star had helped Luo Xi try on all sorts of pretty outfits. Then, Luo Xi asked Night Star to try them too. Afterward, they both ended up returning to the Fish Playing House, where Night Star became a living hanger.
It seemed Luo Xi had this habit.
Whatever Night Star did to her, Luo Xi would mirror in return, like imitation learning.
Seems like teaching Luo Xi something isn’t that hard.
But let’s talk about other things later.
“Mmm~”
Right now, lying on Luo Xi’s soft, fragrant thighs, she doesn’t want to think about anything complicated.
When it comes to close moments, you should throw away all the noise and enjoy it fully.
She feels completely relaxed.
Luo Xi quietly watches the silver-haired loli atop her thigh, sensing that Night Star has let go of everything.
This means she’s entrusted her entire self to Luo Xi with no defenses.
How easy it is to trust someone you’ve just met.
Could it be that humans are idiots?
Only human cubs seem so innocent.
Looking at Night Star, Luo Xi feels a new idea brewing in her heart.
Petting her feels nice, and there’s even a compliant response.
Maybe keeping this human around is better than reading books.
Besides talking to her, teaching her some nonsensical things, and offering exclusive warmth, it’s not too bad.
Night Star Lan seems more appealing than Kuro and her previous human.
Then,
Keeping her here seems fine.
It’s a form of entertainment amidst long years, and it satisfies basic desires.
As Luo Xi thought this, she soon noticed Night Star had fallen asleep.
Night Lan curled up and nodded off on the other side, looking very content indeed.
Luo Xi doesn’t need sleep and doesn’t get tired.
She didn’t wake Night Star Lan, still making a foot pillow out of Night Star.
Her idle hand rested on Night Lan’s head, as if petting two little creatures.
“Guess I’ll leave it at that…”
Time passes slowly.
Though this place feels like paradise, created by Kuro and Luo Xi, it follows the same daily rhythms as the outside world.
So, there are day and night.
And dusk falls.
“Mmm~”
Night Star Lan gradually wakes up, feeling very content.
Unlike last time, when Wishing Princess fell asleep.
Now she’s just a regular person without any unusual power, most of her safety relying on Luo Xi.
Lying on Luo Xi’s thigh brings a familiar comfort, and being gently touched makes her heart feel at ease.
There’s no lack of security here.
In such a cozy environment, Night Star Lan could hardly stay tense or fight drowsiness.
She opened her eyes to see Luo Xi with her usual blank expression, showing no emotion.
Night Star quickly wore a cute smile.
“Good afternoon, Luo Xi~”
“Hmm.”
“It’s been a while, sorry for wasting your time. I’ll get up now.”
Night Star quickly got up from Luo Xi’s thigh, stretching lazily, looking very comfortable.
“Are your legs numb?”
“I don’t get numb legs.”
“Mm, I guess so.”
Luo Xi stood up and floated out of the tree-dome library.
Night Star Lan followed, noticing Luo Xi pausing at the entrance, seemingly staring at something.
“What are you looking at?”
Night Star Lan shifted her gaze from Luo Xi’s back and looked in the same direction.
They were high up in the giant tree, witnessing a beautiful sunset.
“What a beautiful sight! Do you like watching sunsets, Luo Xi?”
“Even the most beautiful scenery loses its novelty after repeated viewings.”
“I see. So will you become tired of me, Luo Xi? We’re so adorable!”
“Don’t know.”
“Mmm…”
Night Star Lan pouted slightly, somewhat discontent.
“You should say ‘no’. That’s what you’re supposed to do.”
“The future is unpredictable. Nothing is fixed.”
“Really? Then I’ll work hard to not get boring. I’m so nice and understanding, and I’m great with making fun stuff. Cuddling you will always be the best! You won’t find anyone cuter than me!”
Night Star Lan boasted proudly, exaggerating.
Luo Xi gave no reaction.
“Eat your food.”
“Huh? Is Luo Xi hungry?”
“No, it’s you.”
“What, I’m not… *GURGLE*”
Before Night Star Lan could finish, her stomach suddenly grumbled loudly.
“Ugh~ Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry. Could you feed me, please? Hehe~”
Instantly.
Night Star Lan and Luo Xi appeared at a table under a tree—the same spot Kuro first fed Night Star Lan.
When they arrived, the table already had a heap of delicious-looking food.
This ability to conjure food out of thin air was incredibly convenient.
Or maybe it wasn’t—maybe they grabbed it from somewhere else.
Either way, eating to one’s fill was the most important thing!
“I’ll dig in then~”
Night Star Lan quickly started devouring the food, with two little lolis digging in.
Luo Xi watched calmly but showed no desire to join.
Night Star Lan paused, inviting Luo Xi.
“Wouldn’t you like to eat with me?”
“I don’t need to eat.”
At this, Night Star Lan tried to persuade her.
“But eating is such a joyous experience! Delicious food brings amazing sensations to your taste buds. Sometimes it’s even better than the other kinds of fun. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a ‘gluttony’ in the Seven Deadly Sins. Occasionally satisfying your taste buds is a spice in life, no matter how hungry you feel.”
Luo Xi stayed silent.
She had once tried eating but found it far less extravagant than Night Star Lan’s description.
Food held no meaning for her.
“Now, eating alone versus eating together creates different atmospheres, Luo Xi. It’s more enjoyable when you do it together. Why not give it a try?”
Of course, this is true only if your relationship is good. If it’s not, meals can be torture.
A perfect moment to strengthen bonds!
“Okay.”
Luo Xi took her advice and ate a fruit.
Night Star Lan gave a satisfied smile.
“That’s the spirit~”
