"Come in!"
After a moment's hesitation, March 7th answered coldly.
She also pulled the snowy-white blanket tightly around herself, covering every inch of her body.
The door opened.
A girl in a casual dress slowly walked over to March 7th's window.
Asta held her hands behind her back, as though hiding something.
"You... what are you doing here?"
Lying in bed, March 7th pouted and grumbled.
At that moment, Asta was the last person March 7th wanted to see.
Her secret nighttime visit had been discovered last night.
Though she had put on a brave front, March 7th still felt guilty inside.
Whatever else might be true, Asta was Lin Chen's official girlfriend now.
What she had done last night really had been wrong.
"Are you feeling any better, March 7th...?"
"You probably haven't quite adjusted yet, after just going through something like that, have you?"
The corners of Asta's lips lifted into a faint, gentle smile.
There was a note of concern in her words that left March 7th puzzled.
"None of your business. I'm perfectly fine!"
"Even when it comes to that, I won't lose to you..."
She clenched the snowy-white blanket in both hands.
Turning her pretty face aside, March 7th continued putting on a brave front.
Last night, Lin Chen should clearly have defeated her and driven her from the battlefield much earlier.
But then she had remembered the experiences Asta had mentioned.
March 7th had gritted her teeth and forced herself to hold on, which was how she had ended up like this.
"You don't have to act tough... you silly girl."
"Here... this is for you. I had it specially prepared!"
A faint smile lingered on her face.
Asta brought out what she had hidden behind her back and waved it before March 7th.
