Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
Just as Lumina finished browsing the forum posts from the real world and was about to snuggle under the covers for a good night's sleep, her phone's Special Group ringtone blared through the room, echoing loudly.
"From March 7th?" she muttered, glancing at the caller ID.
Knowing March 7th's personality, she must have been utterly stunned by the sight of the Exalting Estate...
Lumina unlocked her phone, opened the chat interface, and confirmed her suspicion as she read March 7th's messages.
[March 7th:Oh my gosh, Sister Lumina! Your house is so huge and luxurious!!!]
[March 7th:It has all kinds of fancy gadgets! The water in the hot spring... I wonder if it's some special spring? It feels amazing to soak in!!!]
"Wait, you actually went to the hot spring..." Lumina murmured, feeling a pang of regret.
Automatically extracting the keywords, she realized that March and the others had indeed enjoyed a leisurely soak in the estate's hot spring. Lumina's flawless complexion instantly darkened with regret. She clearly regretted her poor decision.
If the heavens would grant me another chance, I would never choose to argue with this bunch of perverts in the live stream! /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
I want to go soak in a hot spring with beautiful girls!!!
Though Lumina was filled with regret at that moment, it was clearly too late to change her mind.
Even if she rushed there now, she wouldn't make it in time.
Lumina felt like crying, but there was nothing she could do... What was that saying again?
You have to finish the path you've chosen, no matter how absurd it is!
So, Lumina could only silently indulge in her fantasies...
Sigh... With a sigh, Lumina gently tapped her fingers on the screen and sent a few messages to March 7th.
Whatever happened has happened. She couldn't possibly let March 7th see her looking undignified...
[Lumina: March, if you like it, you can stay as long as you want! I won't mind at all.]
[Lumina: Of course, the same goes for Qingque and Stelle if they want to stay too~]
Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~ Ding-dong~
Lumina had just sent her message when March 7th replied almost immediately with several eager responses, likely having been glued to her phone, eagerly awaiting news from her beloved Sister Lumina.
[March 7th: If Sister Lumina were here too, I'd want to stay forever! But I'm a passenger on the Astral Express, and there's still so much of my journey left to explore...]
[March 7th: If my journey ever reaches its end, and Sister Lumina is still here, I'll definitely come back to retire here!]
Whether March 7th wanted to retire here because of the beautiful environment or some other reason remained unclear...
[Lumina: Sounds lovely~ Let's promise to meet here again someday in the future!]
Seeing March 7th's message, Lumina smiled, her fingers flying across the screen to type out her reply.
[March 7th: Yay! Please take good care of me then, Sister Lumina! Hehe o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ]
[Lumina: Alright~]
A gentle smile spread across Lumina's face as she sent the message and turned off her phone screen.
She then flopped onto the bed, stretching out her arms and legs in a starfish pose.
Staring up at the ceiling, she murmured to herself:
"The future... I can't wait."
