Chapter 58: The Three-Person Household

Want to cure Yang Wei?

Want to have more beautiful girls?

Want to learn magic and reach the pinnacle of life to slap faces and torment scum?

‘Hah, I don’t want to slap faces or torment scum.’

‘Whether to cure him or not should be asked to Yang Wei’s people, so why ask me…’

Lin Nuo shook off the rubbish thoughts that appeared in his mind.

He couldn’t figure out what that magical radiance was—like it had driven out the poisonous black energy inside his body that brought cold and deadly threats—but the slight healing power overflowing from the Magic Book seemed to come at the cost of draining his own body.

Indeed, Lin Nuo felt an instant hollow emptiness as if his body had been hollowed out, and he thought it best to find a place to take a nap for now.

The oak wooden table had long been warmed by the sunlight.

Imitating Amidina, he found a comfortable position to lie down on it.

In his breathing, he could smell a faint, elegant fragrance lingering from the young girl’s body, which not only soothed the soul but also naturally induced sleepiness.

“So sleepy… poisoned or not.”

“Anyway, it’s done, better just get up and deal with it!”

Feeling the countercurrent magic array attached inside Lin Nuo that helped resist the cold black energy almost being overwhelmed, Amidina’s tightly closed eyelids fluttered anxiously.

But later, for some unknown reason, it seemed another warm magical power appeared to repair and reinforce her fragile magic array, allowing her to feel the warmth of that power as well…

It was probably just a nightmare.

Lying prone wasn’t as comfortable as sleeping.

But perhaps because there was now someone in her arms who hadn’t been there before, Amidina felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

The table vibrated slightly, as if someone had approached.

She could sense the other person trying not to disturb her rest, moving so gently on the table that even the slightest action was unusually soft.

Amidina opened her peach blossom eyes.

When she saw the person opposite her lying in the same posture, his breathing gradually calming, she froze for a moment.

The pale fingers still touching his hair didn’t withdraw but moved closer, inch by inch.

Until the fingertips tentatively curled through his golden hair, shining and slightly curled in the sunlight.

Seeing that he was truly asleep, Amidina’s fingers spread into a palm, gently massaging.

The fluffy texture was much nicer to touch than Fatty Bird’s, stimulating her burning palms.

Amidina immediately withdrew her hand under the clothes scented with his scent, her eyelashes trembling as she closed her eyes, trying to sync her breathing with his.

Soon, her closed eyelids flickered faintly with a kind of joyful light.

***

Unconsciously, the sky darkened.

After waking up in the afternoon, Lin Nuo originally planned to return to his room to study the effects of that Magic Book, but the cold and unparalleled princess Amidina unexpectedly stopped him, saying she wanted to help wash his clothes…

This made their relationship appear more intimate.

From her perspective, it was enough to explain things to her parents, and it wouldn’t make the Duke or Duchess think she was rude.

Although the engagement’s future was up to both of them, since she had come all this way, it wouldn’t do nothing…

Thinking this way, Lin Nuo found it hard to refuse.

Although something felt odd, he handed over his clothes to Amidina.

So his dinner time was once again spent here.

Little Yulilian was lively by nature.

Seeing Lin Nuo arrive, she promptly dumped the task of preparing cooking ingredients for her sister on him.

The little girl herself ran early to the balcony table, tying a napkin under her fair neck, holding knife and fork, sitting and waiting for the food.

Her feet swung leisurely in the air.

Roast goose, grilled sardines, venison were served one after another, each giving off an aroma that could make the worms in your stomach crawl out greedily.

“Brother Lin Nuo, not many people get to taste my sister’s cooking!”

Yulilian clearly didn’t treat Lin Nuo as an outsider.

Her demeanor and movements at the table were much more natural than before when they were at the long dining table.

Unlike her, Amidina ate quietly as usual, poised and refined.

She held the slender silver fork between her fingertips, chewing in small bites, sipping juice in small sips.

Even when tearing bread to feed Yulilian, she tore it into small, evenly sized pieces.

Naturally, Lin Nuo couldn’t expect the same kind of care from Amidina, but it did seem that she had tried to feed him some bread.

Whether she was actually feeding him, Lin Nuo wasn’t sure.

When he opened his mouth, the other party looked reluctant… that would have been terribly awkward.

So he pretended not to see it.

Seeing Lin Nuo ignoring her attempts to play with Fatty Bird, Amidina’s soft hand stiffened for a moment, and she could only feed the bread into the expectant beak of the bird on his shoulder.

“Chirp chirp!”

“Wuu~?”

Yulilian noticed that the two seemed a little strange.

Especially her sister, who usually ate happily, now bowed her head gloomily and no longer wiped Yulilian’s mouth like before…

Yulilian shifted her gaze to Lin Nuo and silently scooted a little closer.

Using her foot, she brushed her sister’s leg under the table.

“!!”

Amidina froze as if struck by an electric shock, her peach blossom eyes snapping to Lin Nuo, who was still pretending to play with the bird!

Seeing him secretly brush against her and then act as if he didn’t see it, Amidina’s face flushed with shame and anger, her small chest rising and falling in irritation…

Then she buried her head gloomily and continued eating.

Yulilian was surprised that her sister took the slight teasing silently.

She scooted again, brushing Lin Nuo’s leg with her foot under the table from near her sister’s side.

?!

Bold!

Unexpectedly, Lin Nuo put down his knife and fork, moved his chair, and lifted the tablecloth, his face puzzled: “Why are you kicking me?”

Completely unprepared for such a reaction from Lin Nuo, Yulilian felt something was wrong and hadn’t even escaped yet.

Amidina’s pretty face instantly turned cold as she understood what had just happened.

She grabbed Yulilian, who was about to leave the table carrying a plate with a “clatter,” pulled her onto her lap, and gave her little bottom two slaps:

“Pat, pat!”

“Rude! Who told you to brush against people’s clothes under the table while guests are eating?”

“Ah, I was just teasing you two! People are watching, why are you hitting me… At least don’t hit my bottom! I’m almost an adult, and you still hit me like this, sister, wahhh!”

Fatty Bird fluttered down from Lin Nuo’s shoulder, flapping its wings roughly as if trying to mediate: “Don’t fight anymore, garlic bird garlic bird”…

Outside the window, the gentlemen’s clothes and Amidina’s dress swayed lightly in the breeze.

Inside, Amidina was sitting on her lap, scolding Yulilian…

Lin Nuo, who had picked up his knife and fork to watch the show and eat, didn’t really want to admit it, but somehow this scene strangely resembled a warm little three-person family from his memories.
