Capítulo 2256: Growing Bonds

A few minutes later, Rumi fell asleep on top of me. She wasn't that exhausted but the comfort I brought to her was like a tranquilizing pill, making her eyelids grow heavy and eventually close. Her breaths were slow and steady, her warm body pressed against mine.

I caressed her head and back, making sure that she was comfortable, feeling the warmth of her body slowly seep into mine. Her soft snores were a gentle hum that soothed my racing heart.

Mhm. I wanted to take care of her more. See her smile and... be there with her in the future. Just like with all of my girls. Before long, I also closed my eyes to take a rest.

When we both woke up at an indeterminable time, we noticed it wasn't even midnight yet. We only ended up napping for a short while. The room was still dimly lit by the moonlight, the silence was occasionally broken by our soft breathing.

Rumi looked up at me and with a pleasant smile, she said, "Ruki, I'm hungry."
