Chapter 45: Private Topics

Faon hadn’t expected Eve to invite him at this time, nor had he expected her to invite him at all.

In order to make it seem like he had seriously thought it over before refusing, Faon deliberately paused for a moment, then shook his head.

“Thank you for your kindness, Miss Eve, but let’s forget it. The church side is basically full of girls from the town, right? As a grown man, I’d better not join the fun.”

“Ara… in that case, let’s leave it at that.”

After saying this, Eve crossed her arms and spoke with a hint of concern, seeming to step a little closer to him.

“Speaking of which, as your superior, I’ve never really known where you eat your meals… Yesterday, I heard your wife say that you neither eat at home nor eat together with us at the church.”

Eve’s posture of crossing her arms made her advantages stand out even more. Faon noticed it and tried hard not to look there.

“I used to eat food I brought from home. This time, I should be eating together with Sister Night Lei.”

Faon answered honestly, not feeling there was anything to hide.

“Ara… so that’s how it is. This is the first time I’ve learned about my child’s way of eating,” Eve said with a narrowed smile.

“But it’s still with that Night child, right?”

Faon felt that Eve was implying something.

Thinking of the advice she had given him before, he smiled and said, “It’s just eating together.”

“Then I’m relieved,” Eve said with a smile, resting one hand on her cheek.

“Still, I’ve troubled Miss Eve quite a bit. Not only did you ask my wife once, you even went out of your way to ask me again,” Faon said gratefully.

Although he felt strange lately, always noticing things he hadn’t noticed before and things he shouldn’t notice, he wouldn’t forget proper gratitude.

Moreover, during yesterday’s conversation, his wife had mentioned that Miss Eve intended to help her with cooking, and she had also been quite considerate regarding his leave.

“Ara ara… my child, there’s no need to be polite,” Eve said with her usual narrowed smile.

“After all, it’s thanks to you that our medical hall can treat more people. Still, I should remind you—at noon, you should spend more time with your wife. And seeing that you don’t seem to be in very good condition today… you should accompany her a little less at night and take care of your body.”

“Alright, I understand, Miss Eve,” Faon nodded and didn’t say much more.

After all, that kind of thing with his wife couldn’t even be considered ‘venting’, so how could it really affect his physical condition?

“Then I’ll be leaving now. If there are any problems at work, tell me in time~ My child, bye-bye~”

After saying this with a smiling face, Eve left. Watching Eve leave the medical hall, Faon followed shortly after.

Eve and Night Lei were both very good at taking care of people, and they gave Faon a similar feeling. But there were still differences.

Aside from differences in appearance and figure, the bigger difference lay in their roles.

Night Lei was more like a mature, joking “older sister,” while Miss Eve was more like a gentle and dignified “mother.”

Each had her own merits.

“Wait… what was he even comparing?”

Walking along the road, Faon suddenly realized that his thoughts were actually very disrespectful, so he immediately stopped himself.

He had to make sure that there was only his wife in his mind.

As he was about to reach his destination, Faon saw Night Lei from afar.

She looked to be in good condition and in a great mood. She had a basket with lunch hanging from her arm and was quietly standing there waiting.

After Faon saw her, he instead recalled what had happened last night, which made him fail to greet her immediately.

Night Lei noticed Faon’s gaze first and walked over with a smile.

“Good afternoon, Brother Ang. As agreed, I’ve prepared lunch and brought it over.”

“Good afternoon, Sister Night Lei.”

Seeing that she didn’t seem to be affected by what happened yesterday, Faon froze for a moment, then felt he might be overthinking it.

“Still, sorry to trouble you.”

After greeting each other, the two headed toward the grass, chatting as they walked.

“Hehe… between ‘siblings’ and ‘partners,’ why say thanks?”

Night Lei smiled.

“Besides, yesterday Brother Ang accompanied Night Night and me shopping, and even helped me back. I already feel that just making lunch isn’t enough.”

As usual, she moved a little closer and found that Faon didn’t dodge like before. This made her feel a bit strange.

It seemed that yesterday’s hug had also affected Brother Ang. In that case… being a little more willful wouldn’t be noticed.

As a “half-succubus,” she had let go of her reason yesterday and vented fiercely using the sensation of Faon’s body before finally calming down.

And this made Night Lei feel a little strange as well… being a “half-succubus” yet not touching the man beside her—wasn’t that too out of character?

But she immediately rejected that thought.

“Hehe, those thoughts were probably influenced by the 【succubus】 state…”

As long as she could stay by Brother Ang’s side, that was enough. And she also really liked Miss Falin.

Even if the other party was very permissive, she couldn’t bear to interfere.

“If just covering lunch isn’t enough, then it’s hard for me to imagine… the amount of repayment Sister Night Lei has in mind,” Faon joked, something rare for him.

“Does Brother Ang want to know?”

Night Lei said with a chuckle.

“I’m not insisting. If you want to keep it mysterious, you don’t have to say it,” Faon replied with a smile.

As their relationship improved, he felt much more relaxed than before.

And for some reason, ever since last night’s hug, Night Lei’s every smile and expression seemed more attractive than before.

Or was he simply paying more attention to her now?

“I won’t keep Brother Ang in suspense,” Night Lei said with a smile.

“For example… telling you the secret that Night Night and I have hidden for many years, or… making lunch for Brother Ang for a lifetime?”

Faon said helplessly, “Sister Night Lei is joking again.”

“Brother Ang saw through it at once. How boring,” Night Lei pretended to be angry and snorted lightly, then laughed.

“But this time, it’s not quite the same as before. More than half of it wasn’t a joke.”

“…More than half?”

Faon froze.

“But I won’t tell Brother Ang which half it is. Who told you not to greet me the moment you saw me?”

Night Lei said with a smile.

“Sorry, Sister Night Lei. I was mainly thinking about how you were doing today,” Faon said apologetically.

As for the jokes, he didn’t think too much about them. He had never thought about her repaying him at all.

“So that’s how it is? Then I forgive Brother Ang,” Night Lei said lightly, smiling.

“And thanks to Brother Ang, I just slept it off when I got back.”

“That’s good,” Faon nodded.

The two arrived at their usual grassy spot. Night Lei even brought a picnic cloth and spread it out on the ground.

They sat down—Faon sitting cross-legged, while Night Lei knelt.

Faon always felt that this posture highlighted her body lines even more, and felt even more provocative.

The distance between them was also very close, but since the picnic cloth was small to begin with, there was nothing to be done.

Night Lei was also observing Faon’s reaction. Seeing nothing strange, she opened the basket and took out the lunch while smiling and speaking.

“Speaking of which… Brother Ang had a physiological reaction because of me yesterday… After going back, Brother Ang must have troubled Miss Falin quite a bit, right?”

She chose to bring up a private topic.
