Chapter 74: Alechino was lying next to her!

Alechino was not particularly surprised that Fernina wanted to enter Lin Anyi's room in the middle of the night. After all, during the conversation just now, Alechino clearly saw that Fernina had been forced into a corner by her.

It was only because of her fear of herself that she did not refute. And now that she finally had the opportunity to have a tryst with her husband, how could she let it go? In such a rare opportunity, it was understandable that the girl would make a bold move.

Lin Anyi was in a complicated mood. He knew that once Fernina entered the room, no matter what happened, it could be a disaster.

Alechino seemed to not care about it at all. Her interest was completely in watching the play, watching how this drama, directed by her, would be performed.

"Be good, let me see what Fernina will do," Alechino said coquettishly, and then she slowly shrank into the soft quilt, leaving only a pair of eyes flashing with expectation in the dark. The lights in the room were gently turned off by her, leaving only a hazy shadow.

In the dim light, Alechino's finger gently touched an almost inconspicuous mechanical button on the bedside. Click! The crisp mechanical sound was unusually loud in the quiet room. Obviously, this was the sound of the door opening.

Looking at what Alechino did, Lin Anyi gradually widened his eyes. Can the locked door be unlocked with just a press? So, there are mechanical devices everywhere in the Hearth House? Then, are there no other secret doors in his dormitory that can be entered at any time?

"No, now is not the time to think about this. Fufu will come in soon!" Originally, he planned to coax Fernina to sleep, but Alechino not only did not act according to his idea, but also took the initiative to open the door, which caught him off guard.

"The door is open?" After hearing the clear click, Fernina couldn't help but feel a surge of unexpected joy in her heart.

She was originally worried that Lin Anyi would refuse to visit her late at night, but the unlocking of the door at this moment seemed to convey a kind of tacit consent in silence.

"An Yi, I'm coming in~" With that, Fernina excitedly pushed open the door and walked into the room lightly.

The moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains onto the floor, adding a bit of mysterious brilliance to the dark room. Fernina reached out to the wall to find the switch and turn on the light in the room.

Lin Anyi noticed her movements, and his heart tightened. He hurriedly said, "Funina, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't turn on the light. It's too dazzling."

There was a hint of urgency in his tone, as if he was warning her not to destroy the tranquility of this moment.

His eyes were fixed on Fernina's movements in the dark, fearing that she would accidentally reveal Alechino's hiding place. Alechino was hiding in a heavy quilt. If the light was on, Fernina would immediately notice the bulge in the quilt.

Lin Anyi's heartbeat accelerated, and he nervously held the corner of the quilt, hoping that Fernina would listen to him and not turn on the light.

Fernina nodded gently, following Lin Anyi's advice and not turning on the light. She slowly withdrew her hand, walked to Lin Anyi's bedside, stood still, and her clear eyes seemed to be shining in the faint moonlight, looking at Lin Anyi steadily.

"An Yi, I... I just suddenly have something to say to you." Fernina's tone was a little confused and expectant.

"What, what is it?" In the dim light, Lin Anyi's face was still flushed from the battle with Alechino, but fortunately, the darkness covered it all. He could feel Fernina's gaze falling on him like a substance, and that feeling made his heart beat faster.

Fernina was silent for a while, which made the atmosphere in the room seem even more depressing. Lin Anyi couldn't help but break the silence and tried to guide the conversation. There was a hint of eagerness in his voice that he couldn't hide:

"Fufu, why are you still hesitating with me? Just say whatever you want to say."

He prayed in his heart that Fernina didn't have anything important to announce, so that this embarrassing night could end as soon as possible. His mind kept imagining various possible situations, and he felt more and more anxious about the existence of Alechino.

"I..." A faint blush appeared on Fernina's face. She lowered her head and bit her lips lightly, looking a little uneasy.

Her original plan was to quietly come to Lin Anyi's room in the dead of night and then raid him. But if Lin Anyi had fallen asleep, it would have been fine. But now that Lin Anyi was still awake, she couldn't just say that she came to raid him.

That would be too shameful. However, even if it was shameful, the raid must continue. Today, that bad woman Alechino relied on her status to bully others. If she didn't do something to Lin Anyi tonight and take revenge on that bad woman, she would feel bad!

"This..." Fernina hesitated, her voice weak, as if she was struggling to express her intentions without being too straightforward.

She cleared her throat gently, trying to make her voice sound calmer: "Actually, I came here tonight because I wanted to... talk to An Yi about some things in my heart."

"A lot has been going on lately, and I feel like, as a couple, we need to communicate more." As she spoke, Fernina gently sat down beside Lin Anyi's bed. Her movements were graceful and somewhat shy.

This should have been their usual intimate routine, but because they were in the Hearth House, they were forced to be somewhat tentative and expectant.

Lin Anyi looked at her in surprise, with a mixture of confusion and astonishment in his eyes. "Fufu, you... what are you doing?"

There was a sense of uneasiness in his voice, as if he had not yet completely recovered from Fernina's sudden serious topic.

"What else could it be?" Fernina pouted slightly and glared at him with a little bit of coquettishness.

There was a hint of joking and helplessness in her expression, but she was thinking to herself, My husband has always been smart and agile. Why does he look so slow today?

In the past, when she sat next to him like this, Lin Anyi could always immediately perceive her needs. But today, he not only failed to take the initiative to hug her, but he even failed to do the basic thing of moving his body to make more space for her.

Fernina sighed in her heart, then said helplessly, "An Yi, what's wrong with you today? Don't you understand why I came tonight?" There was a hint of playfulness and accusation in her voice.

Hearing this, Lin Anyi couldn't help but show a bit of bitterness on his face. He was not a fool—how could he not understand what Fernina meant? But the problem was that Alechino was lying next to him. How could he move?
