So soon, Lin Shuang wrapped her wet long hair in a towel, and the two sat side by side in the spacious bathtub.

"Hmm... is this what taking a bath is like?"

Firefly lay relaxed in the bathtub, her shoulders gently resting against Lin Shuang's arm, her mind completely blank.

Lin Shuang smiled without saying a word, glancing at the two plump mounds floating on the water due to buoyancy.

He sighed inwardly, thinking, "It's definitely bigger than mine."

Just then, the Firefly, with its eyes half-closed, lazily called out Lin Shuang's name.

"Lin Shuang ~"

The rustling sound, like a kitten scratching at your heart, has a unique charm.

"Um?"

Lin Shuang was also feeling a bit lazy at this moment, relaxing and stretching her limbs, clearing her mind.

"I've already planned our next date! It's on a planet famous for its Island vacations. They say the sunrise there is beautiful, and the seabed is really interesting. Are you interested?"

Lin Shuang spent a long time playing with Firefly today, but she didn't mention anything about their next date.

I originally thought this mystery would be revealed when we set off.

Unexpectedly, Firefly brought it up now.

Lin Shuang tilted her head slightly, looked at Firefly's pretty profile, and asked curiously:

"Of course I'd like to go, but why was the mystery suddenly revealed?"

"Hehe... At first I wanted to surprise you, but then I thought, what if you don't like it after traveling so far? So after thinking it over, I decided it's better to just tell you."

A little embarrassed, Firefly raised her finger and scratched her smooth little face, revealing a shy smile.

"Although I've told you the plan, the scenery at the destination is still unknown, so don't secretly search for it online!"

As she finished speaking, Firefly raised her finger and gave a special reminder.

I don't know if it was intentional or accidental.

Lin Shuang hadn't had any particular thoughts at first, but after this emphasis, wouldn't she suddenly want to search for it?

Volume 1: Chapter 189 Firefly: I'll wake you up on time, don't worry.

I took a shower and changed into my pajamas.

The one Lin Shuang gave Firefly was a two-piece long-sleeved pajama set, which looked rather plain.

However, Firefly seemed to like it quite a bit, fiddling with the hem of her clothes and tugging at her sleeves every now and then, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

Lin Shuang stood behind her, holding her wet hair in her hands, and gently shook it dry by increasing the temperature and vibration.

Normally, Acheron's long hair was dried by Lin Shuang in the same way.

With repeated practice, the skill became increasingly proficient.

Lin Shuang even had time to grab some things to treat Firefly's hair.

By the end, her fluffy long hair was filled with an elegant fragrance.

This prompted Firefly to cup her hair in her hands and sniff it several times.

Then he lifted Lin Shuang's hair and leaned in to kiss her a few times.

Like a cat checking its scent.

After drying Firefly's hair, Lin Shuang sat back down on the sofa.

The two sat very close together on the sofa.

This time, however, Lin Shuang could smell the fragrance coming from Firefly.

It's strange, it's clearly the same brand I use, but Lin Shuang feels that the scent is different from hers, as if it has become a vague, ambiguous fragrance.

I took a few more sniffs.

Lin Shuang increasingly felt that even the exact same shampoo scent was unpleasant.

But once you change to a different person, things can change.

The game's results screen was still flashing on the monitor in front of her. Lin Shuang reached for the controller and returned to the game selection page.

The change in the scene also caught the Firefly's attention.

She looked at the game library and asked:

"By the way, Lin Shuang, when are you free? I'm planning to take Spaceship there this time. Kafka said the tour there will start on the Spaceship. What do you think?"

Firefly sat sideways on the sofa, her hand gently touching Lin Shuang's hair.

The topic of the date location was casually brought up.

As a tourist destination, that planet offers a wide range of services, with private jet transfers being a well-known business.

Although Firefly had planned to go there for a while, she never dared to dream of taking a private jet.

After all, wearing Sam Armor, it's already a miracle if people don't call the police; you can't expect them to provide any service.

And now...

Appearing as Firefly, with Fake Identity created by Silver Wolf, there was naturally no need for her to sneak in.

You can enjoy the services without any reservations, and freely play with Lin Shuang in the sunshine.

Therefore, after hearing about Firefly's plan, Kafka recommended this approach.

Lin Shuang, of course, didn't care.

She's not a corporate slave; she can do whatever she wants on a daily basis. The Astral Express Crew doesn't necessarily have to follow the plot.

Ever since the Doomsday Beast's beam cannon startled March 7th, and Star Awakened, his Path of Destruction.

Lin Shuang felt increasingly uneasy about the plot that the Astral Express Crew was about to experience.

She realized that in this world, there exist Aeon like 'Finality' and 'Erudition' who can see fate or calculate the entire universe.

My own little butterfly Wings aren't so easy to stir up any big waves.

Anyway, even the final boss on the Xianzhou was severely injured by me beforehand, so what could possibly happen?

Moreover, at this point, it's still uncertain whether the Astral Express Crew will even go to Luofu.

In the original storyline, the Astral Express Crew was guided by Kafka to Luofu in order to befriend Luofu and obtain the omen of an alliance.

Now that the Jade Seal is in Lin Shuang's hands, she doesn't even know if there's a second one.

If there is a need to summon Xianzhou for assistance in the future, Lin Shuang can be asked to do so; it doesn't necessarily have to be the Star Rail Express.

Therefore, Lin Shuang is indeed quite free now, able to go wherever she wants.

Even if something really happens, it's not difficult to quickly set up a teleportation system to go back and forth.

I thought about the Star Rail Express for a moment.

Lin Shuang turned slightly to the side, letting her long hair fall towards Firefly, allowing Firefly to play with her hair.

But his gaze remained fixed on the game library, and as he browsed through Silver Wolf's collection, he said:

"I don't have anything to do anyway. The clothes I ordered from Kafka won't arrive for a while, so you can take care of it, Firefly."

"Okay! I'll arrange it that way then."

Firefly happily nudged Lin Shuang's shoulder with her own.

Then Lin Shuang immediately pushed it back.

As a result, what was supposed to be a surprise turned into a date planned by the two of them together.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang couldn't help but smile.

She tilted her head and glanced at Firefly, who was swaying and whose long hair was shaking.

"Speaking of which, Firefly, how much sleep do you usually get?"

"Hmm? Not much, because I was born without dreams, and my sleep is much shorter than normal. I only need a short rest each day."

The Firefly answered with a smile, but the content of her answer was clearly not so pleasant.

Lin Shuang stared calmly at the large screen, but in her heart she was pondering what those guys from the Glamoth Republic had done to these Clones.

For a living being with an active mind, dreaming is an extremely normal thing.

But Firefly are born without the ability to dream, which is clearly an abnormal outcome.

While Lin Shuang was pondering, Firefly had not yet finished speaking:

"So, I often climb to a high place in the early morning. I love the feeling of the sun slowly piercing the sky. The sun rises as usual, and today will be another beautiful and peaceful day."

The Firefly's positive attitude seemed to travel through Lin Shuang's heart along with these warm words.

The dissatisfaction in my heart was temporarily dispelled and turned into peace.

Lin Shuang smiled as she looked at Firefly's beautiful face. At that moment, Firefly's smile seemed to be glowing.

"Then you must have seen many different sunrises, right?"

"Of course, let me tell you, sunrises in bustling cities, sunrises in rural towns, sunrises in the mountains, sunrises at sea, and so on, each have their own unique charm. I recommend you give them a try."

"Then I might not be able to get up; I often sleep until noon."

"Hehe~ You slept for too long."

Firefly stared at Lin Shuang, covering her mouth with her sleeve and giggling. She had thought Lin Shuang would be the type who practiced swordsmanship diligently and didn't sleep much.

It turned out to be the one who was prone to oversleeping.

"But since this date is at the beach, we can watch the sunrise over the sea."

"Really? Then I'll try waking you up. Don't worry, I'm very punctual."

Firefly volunteered and even gave Lin Shuang a thumbs-up.

Lin Shuang actually wanted to say that she could just set an alarm clock herself.

But seeing how enthusiastic Firefly was, it was truly impossible to spoil her fun.

"If you don't mind the trouble, then I'll have to trouble you."

"It's no trouble at all, I'm awake anyway."

Volume 1: Chapter 190 Lin Shuang looks so beautiful when she's sleeping.

That night, Lin Shuang slept in the second bedroom of the house with Firefly.

The master bedroom is, after all, Acheron's usual bed, although it seems that given Acheron's personality, he's not the type to care about these things.

But Lin Shuang still didn't do something like letting someone else sleep in her bed without saying a word.

The two of them fell asleep quite quickly.

However, before dawn, the Firefly woke up very early.

"What time is it?"

Firefly rubbed her eyes and tidied her hair. She reached for her phone on the pillow, turned on the screen, and glanced at it.

There are still two hours until sunrise.

As for Lin Shuang, she was still fast asleep, showing absolutely no sign of waking up.

Firefly held her phone and, using the faint light from the screen, looked at Lin Shuang, who was turned to the side.

At this moment, Lin Shuang seemed to be dreaming about something. After muttering two or three syllables, she smacked her lips.

"This is what you look like when you're asleep. Hehe~ I wonder what kind of dreams you had."

Firefly chuckled softly, staring at Lin Shuang's face with a hint of envy.

What does it feel like to dream?

She propped herself up on the pillow and sat up in bed, her long hair, which had been tied up, falling down her side.

Looking at Lin Shuang, who was still fast asleep, Firefly reached out her finger and gently touched her cheek.
