She suddenly stopped what she was doing, raised her hand, and lightly smacked her own forehead. An incredibly convincing expression of mixed surprise and chagrin appeared on her face as she spoke, her voice just loud enough for the trio to hear:
"Oh dear! Look at my memory! I'm so scatterbrained from all the busyness!"
Victor, Enid, and Wednesday all turned to look at her upon hearing this.
Mavis met their gazes with an expression of utmost sincerity and self-reproach:
"I was so focused on arranging guests that I completely forgot the most important thing! I haven't had time to prepare separate rooms for Wednesday and Enid yet! What do we do now? All the vacant rooms are fully booked for tonight!"
Victor blinked, not fully processing the situation yet.
But before he could think it through, Mavis immediately switched to a bright, "problem-solving" smile. Her eyes swept between Victor and the two girls as she suggested breezily:
"Since you all share a dorm room at school anyway, you must be used to it! How about this: Wednesday and Enid, just make do tonight and squeeze in with Victor? His room has a big enough bed, it should be fine!"
After saying this, she even winked at Victor, giving him a "your big sister can only help you this much" look.
Victor was stunned for a moment, then an enormous, undisguised smile of delight instantly bloomed on his face. He nodded eagerly like a pecking chick:
"Yes, yes, yes! This arrangement is perfect! Not making do at all! Absolutely no problem!"
Excitedly, he grabbed Enid with one hand and Wednesday with the other, eagerly pulling them toward the direction of his room, happily chattering:
"Let's go, let's go! I'll show you my room! I keep it super clean!"
Enid and Wednesday exchanged a glance. Regarding the arrangement of sharing a room itself, they truly had no objections, being accustomed to it from school.
So they let Victor lead them, following him toward the room.
Watching the three of them walk away side by side, Mavis crossed her arms, a smug, knowing, slightly wicked smile appearing on her face. She murmured in a voice only she could hear:
"Silly little brother... such a great opportunity, your sister has created it for you... when you understand later, you better thank me properly..."
Meanwhile, Victor pushed open the door to his room with great enthusiasm and stepped aside to let his two girlfriends enter first.
"Come on in, this is my room! Not bad, right?"
Enid stepped in first, her eyes habitually scanning the room's layout—
Then, her gaze fixed on the... spacious large bed in the center of the room.
Her cheeks instantly flushed a noticeable shade of pink, and her steps halted. Her eyes became somewhat evasive as she mumbled quietly:
"It's... it's just one bed..."
Didn't that mean... tonight they would... the three of them... sleep together?
Victor, clearly not overthinking it, bounded over to the bed like a happy large dog.
Then he turned around, plopped down on the edge of the bed, and enthusiastically slapped the soft mattress with his palm, his face radiating pure enthusiasm and a desire to share:
"Yeah! Just this one bed! Super comfy! I specifically asked Big Sister Mavis to get me an extra-soft mattress!"
He looked up at Enid, who was still hesitating by the door, and Wednesday, who had walked in calmly, and generously invited them:
"If you don't believe me, come up and feel it! It's really awesome!"
Seeing Victor's utterly guileless, purely good-sharing demeanor, the blush on Enid's face only deepened, spreading to the roots of her ears.
This idiot... does he even know what inviting a girl to "come up and feel the bed" implies?!
In contrast, Wednesday's reaction was much calmer.
She calmly glanced over the bed, her face showing no trace of shyness or embarrassment, as if it were just an ordinary piece of furniture.
She walked straight to the bedside, very naturally sat down sideways, even pressed the mattress with her hand to test its springiness, and then offered an objective evaluation:
"Hmm, it's indeed good. Moderate elasticity, sufficient support."
Seeing Wednesday's approval, Victor immediately beamed as if he'd received the highest praise.
He leaned in close to Wednesday, almost pressing against her face, like a puppy waiting for praise.
"Right? Right? I told you it's comfortable!"
He completely failed to notice that behind him, the blush on Enid's face had spread down her neck, and her heartbeat had inexplicably quickened.
The atmosphere in the room, because of a bed and Victor's innocent enthusiasm, became somewhat subtle.
