“Actually, it’s not that hard. It’s something I like, so I can keep at it.”
To Liuli, the act of sticking to something she liked was difficult in itself.
She had failed to stick with many games she liked in the end.
It wasn’t just games; she had chosen to give up on many things she once enjoyed.
Hearing Aili say she could persevere simply because she liked it felt like a fairy tale.
Of course, none of that was important to Liuli.
What she was more curious about was that Aili kept saying she wanted to prove her feelings, yet she never seized any of the many opportunities presented to her.
“So, Aili, can you stick to everything you like?”
‘If that’s truly the case, Aili said she liked me, so can she stick to that liking as well?’
“Most likely, yes. Unless something happens to make me stop liking it.”
I saw Aili look up from her book and watch me, as if she had thought of something.
“However, I can guarantee right now that I do indeed like you, Princess. That won’t change easily.”
Well, it seemed my question made Aili think I was worried, which was why she went out of her way to add that sentence.
But to be honest, that wasn’t what I was concerned about.
To put it bluntly, she hadn’t even passed her probation period.
Did I really need to worry about such things now?
“Aili, do you usually choose to read when you’re bored?”
After all, they were on a journey now, and there weren’t many activities for entertainment.
On a normal day, would Aili always be revising her works?
Liuli felt it really wasn’t easy for her.
She actually had to find a way to discover common interests with Aili.
‘Aili isn’t the type of person who emphasizes a rational approach to love, is she?’
“Actually, I don’t have many hobbies. Reading is one of the few. But I don’t usually spend all my time reading my own novels. There aren’t that many problems that need daily revisions, after all.”
“Then, what do you do when you aren’t reading, Aili?”
Liuli knew asking this was a bit ridiculous, but she couldn’t help it.
She wasn’t an extrovert and wasn’t good at finding topics.
Staying with Aili at a time like this was, frankly, a bit of an ordeal.
Liuli remembered Aili being quite cheerful when they first met. How did she end up like this?
“Traveling, shopping, and just the usual hobbies girls have.”
It seemed that as long as they didn’t discuss the book, Aili appeared less nervous.
Liuli didn’t know if her presence made the girl nervous or if it was the topic of discussion.
“Little Fox, aren’t you going to shower?”
Just as the air was about to sink into an awkward silence, Serveyia finally appeared.
The arrival of a third person at this moment certainly helped alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
“Can we shower on the motorhome?”
“Of course. There is a dedicated shower room. Although it’s a bit simple and doesn’t compare to the facilities at Qingli Hall, it’s fine for washing your body.”
“Alright. Have you already showered, Serveyia?”
“Little Fox, I am your Close Maid. How could I shower ahead of you? At the very least, I should shower with you, shouldn’t I?”
“Actually, you don’t have to wait for me.”
Ever since her transformation, Serveyia might have relaxed her “companionship” in many ways, but she still insisted on staying by her side when sleeping and showering every night.
Although Liuli initially thought Serveyia just wanted to take advantage of her, the woman had persisted for so many days.
Aside from washing her, Serveyia hadn’t done anything inappropriate.
It didn’t seem like she was taking advantage at all.
“That won’t do. It would be troublesome if others found out.”
As Serveyia spoke, she led Liuli to the shower room.
Although Serveyia repeatedly claimed it was simple, it was just a normal shower room.
The only problem was that it was a bit cramped for two people.
“Serveyia, this space isn’t very big. Are we really going to shower together?”
Generally speaking, a narrow shower room was quite suitable for flirting.
After all, what wouldn’t happen when two people faced each other naked in such a confined space?
“Of course. Your body is a very important asset, Little Fox. It must be cared for meticulously.”
“Serveyia, do you mean to say I can’t even shower by myself?”
“No, but I don’t think you can clean yourself entirely, can you? Like your long hair and the tail behind you — those areas need focused cleaning. You wouldn’t want me to have to redo the job at the end, would you, Little Fox?”
Liuli looked at the tail behind her with a bit of helplessness.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, she really couldn’t clean it properly on her own.
However, looking at the crowded room, Liuli still hesitated.
If it were just her and Serveyia on the motorhome, she might not be so worried.
But there were others on the motorhome now, especially Aili, who had just confessed to her.
Would she really not be jealous or unhappy after seeing her and Serveyia shower together?
“Alright, stop hesitating. The more time you spend here, the longer everyone else has to wait. Everyone is waiting for you to shower, Little Fox.”
Serveyia didn’t give Liuli any time to hesitate and pushed her directly into the shower room, following her in and closing the door behind them.
“Little Fox, are you going to take off your clothes yourself, or should I help you?”
Serveyia was so close that Liuli could feel her breath.
The warm breath brushed against her neck, making Liuli instinctively shrink back.
“I — I can do it myself…”
Although they were so close that it didn’t really matter who took the clothes off, being able to do it herself gave her a sense that she still held the initiative.
Serveyia didn’t say much and turned around leisurely to start taking off her own clothes.
Liuli’s small face turned bright red.
She couldn’t help it; even though this wasn’t the first time she had seen Serveyia naked, her face flushed every single time.
It seemed that until she got used to it, she would be pinned under Serveyia like an innocent young girl.
“Are you done changing, Little Fox?”
Serveyia turned her head and looked at Liuli, who was blushing and covering the vital areas of her body with her hands.
She found it a bit amusing.
“Why are you still covering up? It’s not like I haven’t seen it before. Is there a need to act so demure in front of me?”
“No, it’s… it’s just a strange environment. I’m not used to it.”
This statement was half-true.
It was true that she wasn’t used to it, but she shouldn’t have been this shy.
The main reason was that Serveyia was too close.
Such proximity made Liuli feel that her personal space was being invaded, which was why she was so embarrassed.
