After the two of them chose to be honest with each other and speak the simplest yet truest words, they both fell silent.
For them now... words were not important.
What mattered was that the person they cherished was right beside them, visible, tangible, able to feel the other's body temperature, and sense each other's reassuring presence...
That was enough.
After an unknown period of silence, Furina slowly poked her small head out from Mr. Yuto's embrace.
She gently raised her head, looking at his sea-blue eyes that seemed to be constantly focused on her, a slightly shy smile appeared on her face, and then she lightly pecked his cheek.
Feeling the fleeting soft touch on his cheek, Mr. Yuto's face involuntarily showed a smile, and then he directly pressed his lips onto hers.
As if mentally prepared for the current situation, Furina slowly closed her eyes and instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around Mr. Yuto's neck, as if she didn't want him to leave.
But...
As time passed, Furina's breathing became more rapid and erratic, and her heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat the next second.
Mr. Yuto also noticed this, and gently raised his head, separating their lips that had been kissing for a long time.
A transparent thread left between their lips shimmered under the morning light, and the girl's slightly flushed cheeks, due to lack of oxygen, revealed everything that had just happened.
Looking at Furina, who was breathing somewhat rapidly in his arms, a look of tenderness flashed in Mr. Yuto's eyes.
He slightly got up, gently kissed Furina's forehead, and then whispered:
"It's still early before work, I'll go make you breakfast."
"Mm..."
Furina gently nodded her small head, and then watched as his reassuring figure disappeared from the room.
After Mr. Yuto left the room, Furina chose to cover her head with the blanket, seemingly recalling what she had done last night by herself.
Based on what Mr. Yuto had said earlier, Furina was gradually wiping away the mist that obstructed her memories of last night, refilling those memories back into her mind.
However, as the memories in her mind became clearer, Furina's face became redder and redder
—she never imagined... she would say such direct and bold words.
But perhaps even she herself didn't notice that as those memories gradually returned to their rightful place, the smile on her face became even brighter.
It's a pity... Mr. Yuto, who was busy in the kitchen at this moment, couldn't see this scene, otherwise Furina would probably be breathless again.
...
Looking at the refrigerator with meager ingredients left, Mr. Yuto sighed slightly.
"I'll make time to order a batch of ingredients today, I forgot to tell the waiter at Hotel Debord yesterday..."
Mr. Yuto gently shook his head, then took out two portions of bacon and four poultry eggs from the refrigerator, skillfully put on an apron, and lit the stove, thus Mr. Yuto, the domestic husband, was online.
"A small spoonful of salad oil, wait until the oil is hot, then put in the bacon, fry until both sides curl slightly, then crack in the eggs..."
Mr. Yuto muttered softly while recalling the recipe for bacon and eggs, as if he was afraid of being rusty because he hadn't made it for a long time.
And while Mr. Yuto was busy... Furina had tiptoed out of the room and stood at the kitchen door.
The girl gently leaned against the kitchen doorframe, tilting her head and watching the figure busy in front of the stove for her, a happy smile appearing on her face.
The life that could only be seen in dreams before... was gradually turning into reality, which was a great comfort to Furina.
After admiring Mr. Yuto's serious cooking scene for about twenty to thirty seconds, Furina slowly got up, quietly walked behind Mr. Yuto, and gently hugged him.
The moment she hugged him, she clearly felt his body tremble, and then a rather gentle voice sounded in her ear.
"Just a moment, it'll be ready soon."
"Mm..."
Furina said while leaning her small head against Mr. Yuto's back, quietly listening to his heartbeat.
Mr. Yuto, on the other hand, calmly handled today's breakfast, with an unseen tenderness in his eyes.
Everything was so warm and happy, as if they were truly living in a dream.
Of course, except for a certain Little Sanhua squatting under the windowsill.
She first slightly lowered her head to look at the cat food in her bowl, then raised her head again to look at her two doting owners in the kitchen, and very humanly turned her head away, then jumped onto the windowsill to take a nap.
She is a cat, she can eat cat food, and she can also eat dog food.
...
After the two of them finished breakfast and lingered for a while, Mr. Yuto set off for Palais Mermonia.
He could clearly feel that after the events of last night... it was as if there was no longer any barrier between him and Furina.
They would stick together when they wanted to, Furina wouldn't blush so much that she couldn't speak due to spontaneous hugs, and Mr. Yuto could also do other things while being hugged by Furina.
Their relationship had been elevated, and they were only one document away from becoming a legally protected married couple in Fontaine.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Mr. Yuto's face, and then he shifted his thoughts to the upcoming Lantern Rite.
"Let Sedna send out the letter today, and then... book a ship—"
And just as Mr. Yuto was thinking about his arrangements to take Furina to Ritou for the Lantern Rite... he saw a familiar figure at Palais Mermonia.
"Charlotte?"
Mr. Yuto raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by her appearance.
"Why are you here at this time? Is Fontaine too peaceful recently, with no headlines to post?"
Mr. Yuto couldn't help but think in this direction.
As if noticing Mr. Yuto's gaze, Charlotte, who had been pacing back and forth in front of Palais Mermonia, immediately turned around,
After confirming that the source of the gaze was Mr. Yuto, she quickly ran to him, and then said with a mix of excitement and fatigue:
"Mr. Yuto! Please let me do an exclusive interview with you!"
