The main thing is, Selene couldn't possibly rely on an tsundere to confess first, could she?
And Fu Xuan, that Stupid Cat, probably wouldn't know how to confess either, right? So, this matter should be handled by her, this Little Cat!
As for the timing, Selene planned to choose the day before the Xianzhou Spring Festival, which is New Year's Eve.
After all, it wasn't Selene's first time celebrating the Xianzhou New Year, so she knew about some of the activities that only occurred during the New Year.
Confirming their relationship on New Year's Eve, then taking her wife out to play on Spring Festival day! Wouldn't that be wonderful!
Moreover, during this period, Selene had also completed the task previously issued by the system; now, she no longer had a time limit for her transformation.
Although, this task felt a bit forced... after all, Fu Xuan was kissing her for most of the time... even though Selene also took the initiative sometimes, each time she did, it would slowly turn into being cornered by Fu Xuan... who would then hold her hands and start kissing her...
Selene was planning the future in the Bedroom, gradually forgetting that Fu Xuan had called her to get up and eat.
And so... Fu Xuan, who had waited for a long time and not seen her, returned to the Bedroom.
She saw Selene standing there in a daze, with a silly, infatuated smile on her face!
Fu Xuan: ... "What are you standing there smiling foolishly about? What was I calling you for just now?!"
Fu Xuan stood at the door, speaking to Selene in an exasperated tone.
Fu Xuan's voice pulled Selene out of her fantasy.
"Hehe! This Meow is here!"
Selene ran to Fu Xuan's side with a smile, wagging her tail, but inwardly she was complaining:
"Hmph! Scolding This Meow again! You don't even have breasts! Why are you scolding me so fiercely?!"
Fu Xuan: ... Her fists hardened! This wasn't the first time she had heard Selene say this in her mind!
But... she said it in her mind! Otherwise, Fu Xuan would have already dealt with this fellow! Damn it!
But it doesn't matter! Once This Meow confesses to you! I'll devour you that very night!
...During breakfast, Fu Xuan noticed that Selene wasn't looking at her jade amulet and was just burying her head in her food, which made her a bit silent... "Um? Don't you play with your jade amulet while eating?"
Fu Xuan spoke.
"Ah? Why play with a jade amulet? Eating is more important!"
Selene looked up, said, and then lowered her head to continue eating voraciously.
Fu Xuan: ... "But This Meow just saw that someone sent you a message; are you really not going to check it?"
Fu Xuan continued to persuade her.
Selene: ... Does she have to play with this jade amulet?!
Helpless, Selene could only look up, take out her jade amulet, and start checking it.
As Fu Xuan said, someone had indeed sent her a message, and it was Qingque!
Selene clicked on the message and then fell silent.
Because Qingque asked her to play cards, but that wasn't the point; the point was that this fellow told her to go to Exalting Sanctum alone and not to bring Fu Xuan!
"How am I supposed to say this? Am I supposed to say I'm going to play cards, but Fu Xuan, you're not allowed to come?"
"If I really say that, I'm afraid I'll be locked out by Fu Xuan tonight, right?!"
Fu Xuan: When have I ever locked you out?! Hah! Am I that kind of person?!
Selene thought of an excuse while secretly glancing at Fu Xuan.
These little actions were naturally seen by Fu Xuan, and similarly, she knew why this fellow was peeking at her.
"Forget it! I'll just speak up first! Relying on this Stupid Cat to be proactive is a bit of a pipe dream for This Meow!"
Fu Xuan thought this to herself, then looked at Selene and said, "Do you have something to tell This Meow?"
Selene: ... Am I that obvious?
After a moment of thought, Selene nodded and told Fu Xuan everything about the message Qingque had just sent.
Fu Xuan was silent for a moment, then pouted her little mouth, puffed out her cheeks, and showed an expression that said, "This Meow is unhappy!"
Of course, these were all put on; after all, it made it more real! And occasionally throwing a tantrum could also make this Stupid Cat feel guilty and agree to some of her more excessive demands!
"Ugh! If Sister Fu Xuan is unhappy, I'll refuse Qingque right now!"
Seeing Fu Xuan's displeasure, Selene quickly said, her will to survive fully engaged.
"This Meow agrees! You can go after you finish eating! But you probably won't be back for lunch; do you have enough money on you? Does This Meow need to give you some?"
Fu Xuan asked.
Selene: ???
"Ah? You really agreed?"
Selene said in disbelief.
Fu Xuan: ... Is she really reacting so strongly?
Seeing that Fu Xuan was just silent, Selene stood up, walked to the French window, and looked up at the sky.
"Huh? The sun didn't rise from the west today either!"
Selene said, with a puzzled expression on her face.
Fu Xuan: ... Fu Xuan took a deep breath, then stood up and walked behind Selene, patting the Little one on the head!
"Asking for a beating!"
Fu Xuan said exasperatedly.
Selene: "Hehe! If you didn't hit me today, I wouldn't dare to go out!"
Fu Xuan: This fellow is acting strange?!
...At past ten in the morning, Selene took a star-skiff, left the Divination Commission, and arrived at Exalting Sanctum.
As for Fu Xuan, she was doing other things at home, such as knitting a scarf...
Inside the card room, Selene, Qingque, and Tingyun sat together playing cards.
"Speaking of which, isn't this just three short of one? Why didn't you let Sister Fu Xuan come?"
Selene looked at Qingque, asking in confusion.
"Ah? Well... there's naturally a reason, but this reason can't be told!"
Qingque said with an awkward laugh.
This was Fu Xuan's own suggestion! I'm just a Junior Diviner, what could I do?!
"Is that so?"
Seeing that Qingque was unwilling to speak, Selene stopped pressing and began to play cards seriously.
As she played for a long time, Selene's skills had improved greatly compared to before; at least she wasn't losing every hand!
As for Tingyun, she always seemed preoccupied, and her card playing was a bit distracted.
"Miss Tingyun, what's wrong with you today? Didn't you sleep well?"
Selene asked in confusion.
Hearing Selene call her, Tingyun first froze for a moment, then said, "Ah? This Little Cat is fine, Miss Selene doesn't need to worry!"
"It's just that recently! This Little Cat always feels like someone is following me! But I never see anyone!"
Tingyun frowned, speaking with some uncertainty.
"Hmm? Could it be your imagination? After all, there are so many people here in Exalting Sanctum."
Qingque said, looking at Tingyun.
"Oh dear! This feeling has been going on for almost a week!"
Tingyun sighed and said...
