Chapter 42: Chapter 42: It doesn’t matter, I’ve already had enough for the next morning.
The first ray of sunlight shone through the curtains, tinging the room with a light golden color. [Servant] Arlecino immediately regained her usual calmness and thoughtfulness after waking up.
The first thing she did was summon her trusted Fatui secret guards to inquire about the whereabouts and behavior of Yae Shinko and Clorinde yesterday.
"Did Yae Shinko and Clorinde behave abnormally yesterday?" Her voice was calm and deep, revealing an unquestionable authority.
A secret guard immediately appeared, with a respectful and serious expression:
"Report to the commander, Yae Shinko's main activity yesterday was to promote the upcoming light novel competition, and no other abnormal behavior was found."
"As for Clorinde..."
The secret guard's voice revealed a hint of hesitation and worry, and it was obvious that he had encountered a situation that was difficult to talk about.
Arlecino frowned, feeling the seriousness of the situation, and quickly asked: "What's the problem? Tell me!"
The secret guard took a deep breath and reported truthfully:
"Yesterday, Clorinde did as the superior expected, carrying a letter to find Funina, and successfully moved into their house. However, I noticed that Clorinde seemed particularly eager to move in this time, and her behavior and attitude seemed to be premeditated."
These words made Arlecino's heart sink, and her face became more solemn: "Premeditated? It shouldn't be..."
According to the "memory" she suddenly obtained, even if Lin Anyi and Funina got married in the future, Clorinde would still be honest and dare not do anything bold. She was even willing to help Funina, her rival in love, to protect Lin Anyi from being violated.
It can be seen from this that such a Clorinde, how could she plan how to move into Lin Anyi's house? Arlecino frowned, deeply immersed in complicated thoughts.
"Clorinde's behavior is indeed puzzling," Arlecino whispered to herself, with an undisguised worry in her voice.
Just as Arlecino was puzzled, the secret guard continued:
"Out of caution, I specially monitored her yesterday afternoon and found that after successfully moving in, Clorinde became very serious. She even deliberately kept a distance from Lin Anyi, as if she had no interest in him at all. It is precisely because of the huge contrast before and after that I feel strange."
Hearing what the subordinate said, Arlecino couldn't help but feel suspicious. Although in that "memory," Clorinde couldn't help it until she used hypnosis to send Lin Anyi to Clorinde's arms, no matter how long she persisted, she couldn't help it in the end.
From this, it can be realized that Clorinde still has that kind of thought in her heart. Therefore, there is no guarantee that Clorinde in reality will not have any thoughts about Lin Anyi in that regard!
"To be cautious, let's meet Clorinde or Lin Anyi today." Arlecino made up her mind.

Perhaps it was because he had a great time last night that Lin Anyi woke up later than usual. The sun was already shining in the room, but Funina was sitting quietly at the head of the bed, not knowing whether she was still asleep or thinking about something.
Looking at Funina's lovely and delicate face, Lin Anyi recalled what happened last night, and a little bitterness rose in his heart. He quickly stood up and hugged her tightly in his arms with a slightly anxious movement.
This time, he used more strength than usual, as if he wanted to connect her more closely to his body and mind in this way.
His embrace was firm and warm, with one hand fixed on Funina's waist and the other gently stroking her soft back, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body.
Funina was somewhat at a loss for words by Lin Anyi's sudden and powerful hug. Her voice was filled with surprise and confusion:
"Anyi, what's wrong? It's so sudden."
Listening to Funina's beautiful voice ringing in his ears, Lin Anyi's heart surged with complex emotions. After a long silence, he slowly spoke:
"Fufu, Funina, I love you very much."
As soon as these words came out, Funina's cheeks were stained with a light blush. She shyly buried her face in Lin Anyi's neck, her voice trembling slightly: "Wow, why do you say such things so early in the morning..."
At this time, Lin Anyi hugged Funina tightly and could feel her heartbeat close to him. The stable and powerful beating seemed to send him some kind of reassuring signal.
However, no matter how tight his embrace was, the emptiness in his heart was still difficult to fill, and an unspeakable loss surged in his heart.
He couldn't help but start to doubt, "Is my heart... really distanced from Fufu's heart?"
"No, it's impossible," Lin Anyi shook his head quickly, trying to dispel the haze in his heart, but his body trembled involuntarily.
Funina noticed his abnormality, opened her eyes slightly, and asked with concern:"Anyi, what's wrong with you?"
Her voice revealed deep concern. She gently sniffed the unique scent of Lin Anyi, and her thoughts couldn't help but return to the dream with a brand new plot last night.
Thanks to it, his condition this morning was still very good. Perhaps, she thought, I can take this opportunity to satisfy Lin Anyi.
"Want to come?" Funina whispered softly in his ear, trying to relieve Lin Anyi from his anxiety in this way.
Lin Anyi was silent for a moment and tentatively asked: "Can I?"
"Well, I'm very strong now!" Funina's eyes were full of affection and mischief, trying to dispel Lin Anyi's anxiety with joking words.
"I love Anyi the most~"
She said sweetly, her voice full of endless love and commitment to him. Deeply moved by Funina's love, Lin Anyi's heart throbbed even more strongly.
He couldn't help but block Funina's words with his lips, sealing the tenderness of this moment with a passionate kiss. Then, his hand gently slid over her shoulder, slowly moving down, exploring her soft and delicate skin...

Four minutes later.
Lin Anyi looked at Funina, who was already out of breath, and the enthusiasm in his heart slowly cooled down. He couldn't help but feel a little lonely.
His heart unconsciously drifted back to the unforgettable experience last night. The completely different sense of satisfaction made him feel lingering fear.
"No, I told you to forget it!" Lin Anyi shook his head violently, trying to dispel the memories in his heart.
He forced himself to smile and comforted Funina softly:
"It's okay, Fufu, four minutes is very good. I am already very satisfied."
Although Funina was unable to do it, she obviously relaxed a little after hearing Lin Anyi's words. A slight blush appeared on her face, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly.
"Really? I always feel that I can do better."
Lin Anyi gently stroked her hair, and a trace of complex emotions flashed in his eyes. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still responded softly
"Fufu, you have done a great job. The important thing is that we are together, and nothing else is so important."
