Chapter 283: Larilo Takes Action (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket)
In the dimly lit study, Fang Tangtang with her head bowed looked particularly endearing.
On her palm-sized, oval face, she wore light makeup. The makeup wasn't mature but instead gave her eyes and brows an added touch of tempting innocence that made men want to commit a crime.
She wasn't tall, only about 1.6 meters, and because she was wearing a silk robe, the shadows on her chest vividly displayed her curvaceous figure.
Looking at the natural beauty before him, a flash of appreciation crossed Qiu Tu's eyes.
He asked softly, "You're not asleep yet?"
Fang Tangtang kept her head down, clutching the hem of her nightgown, and then timidly nodded, "I'm having trouble sleeping."
Qiu Tu made an "Oh?" sound and inquired, "Why can't you sleep?"
Fang Tangtang lifted her head somewhat blankly, but upon meeting Qiu Tu's gaze, she quickly looked away in a fluster.
Her ears were a bit red, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's, "It's... just a little hard to get used to not having you by my side."
Qiu Tu, standing at the doorway of the study, smiled and asked insensitively, "I wasn't by your side in the past, why could you sleep then?" Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
Upon hearing his words, Fang Tangtang's face turned even redder.
She kept her head down, arguing in a soft voice, "Can being alone and being with someone be the same?"
"But we are two people now."
When he heard Fang Tangtang's confession, Qiu Tu's heart did not stir much.
After all, he was past the age of believing in love, but he still smiled, then walked over and took the girl's hand.
Sitting down in the chair, he pulled Fang Tangtang onto his lap, wrapped his arm around her slender waist, and then spoke sweet nothings softly, "So, haven't I come back now?"
After speaking, Qiu Tu turned towards the book on the desk and asked, "What are you reading?"
Perhaps Qiu Tu's rare sweet talk had eased Fang Tangtang's tension, so she relaxed, leaned against Qiu Tu's chest, and then looked at the book on the desk, quietly saying, "It's the book you were reading last night, seems to be called 'Existence'."
"I want to read more of the books you like and understand the things you enjoy. That way, we'll have topics to talk about in the future."
The girl's voice was soft and sweet, spreading gently in the quiet night, very pleasant to the ear.
"After dinner, I've been reading this book."
"But..." she paused, lightly crinkling her little nose, then said, "I think I might be too dumb. I don't understand it at all."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh.
He said, "It's normal not to understand. It's not the kind of book meant for you."
"Even I find it very abstruse."
Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Fang Tangtang mustered some rare courage to disagree. She lowered her head, timidly saying, "But... I want to understand you more."
Seeing the girl unusually insistent on her own, Qiu Tu didn't dampen her enthusiasm.
Moreover, the idea of a woman giving charm to the sleeves, reading at night by candlelight, was already a wonderful story in life. So Qiu Tu simply picked up the book "Existence" from the desk, held the girl, and began to read and explain to her.
In the silent night, in the study under the dim light, a couple immersed in reading appeared extraordinarily harmonious, warm, presenting a sense of tranquil beauty of the passing time.
Um... except for Larilo still possessing Fang Tangtang.
Ever since possessing Fang Tangtang last night, Larilo had been quietly hibernating, maintaining her consciousness.
It was only after Qiu Tu returned home that she began to wake up slowly due to sensing the presence of a Cataclysmic.
Once awake, Larilo also figured out the situation: Qiu Tu was back, Fang Tangtang was wearing a silk nightgown, and she hadn't slept!
At that, Larilo was utterly excited!
She felt it was time for her to regain her strength!
With Qiu Tu's vigorous energy and the girlfriends he had everywhere, coupled with Fang Tangtang's enticing figure, wouldn't the two of them spontaneously ignite a stormy affair?
And as long as they started "reproducing," she could draw strength from it and restore her own soul!
If the two could do it a few more times, perhaps she wouldn't be so weak anymore.
So, she waited and waited.
She waited until Qiu Tu held Fang Tangtang in his arms; waited until Qiu Tu's hands were caressing Fang Tangtang's delicate body; waited until Qiu Tu was not prepared to read the book...
But then... who would have thought, Fang Tangtang actually didn't agree but instead continued to invite Qiu Tu to read?
At that moment, Larilo truly felt like she had thrown her back out.
She was almost going mad.
She especially wanted to crack open Fang Tangtang's pretty little head to see what was inside!
She felt that if she had Fang Tangtang's figure, she could wear her clothes with the neckline plunging to her navel!
She would change into eight different outfits a day to seduce Qiu Tu!
She would make sure Qiu Tu never leaves the bed in this lifetime!
So, upon seeing Fang Tangtang and Qiu Tu reading by candlelight into the night, Larilo was close to fainting from frustration.
Just like this, three people, two were reading, one was angry, throughout the long night.
Until 2 a.m., when Fang Tangtang, tired, fell asleep in Qiu Tu's arms, did he smile and shake his head before he lifted her in a princess carry and took her back to the bedroom...
Gently placing Fang Tangtang on the bed, Qiu Tu carefully covered her with a thin blanket and turned off the light.
Then he walked out of the room, switched on the eavesdropping blocker, pulled out a specially made Communicator, and started a call with Qin Shuman.
Once the call connected, Qiu Tu also began to inquire, "How much has the search area been narrowed down to?"
Qin Shuman sounded a bit tired as she said, "It's down to about 87 square kilometers now."
"Restricting our speed but mainly it's the interval time of the 'Homologous Compass', the speed of defining the regions, and the speed of the cars."
