[Genshin Impact]: I can become stronger by cooking.

"Sis, I think this lining is too tight. It's not only uncomfortable for you to sleep, but it's also hard for me to hold."

"I'll get it for you first, then I'll help you change into your pajamas, okay?"

This time, Arecino's breathing stopped for a much longer time, as if she was very hesitant.

Fortunately, her steady breathing finally returned, indicating that she agreed to Chao Ke's actions.

The inner lining of my older sister's clothes was wrapped very tightly, and it took Chao Ke quite a bit of effort to untie it.

However, Chao Ke never gets tired of being able to be so close to her older sister.

As a few minutes passed, even the most difficult-to-remove lining was gently removed by Chao Ke.

At this moment, the upper part of the older sister's body was smooth, except for her slime-like hands, which were still covered.

But this cover should be my sister's absolute bottom line tonight. Chao Ke only touched it slightly with his palm, and my sister stopped breathing and frowned.

It seems that if I dare to go any further, the wall is going to suffer tonight.

According to what was just said, Chao Ke should now take back the pajamas and put them back on his sister.

but...

Even high-ranking officials in our dynasty went to great lengths to get it down, so why would we want to put it back on?

"Hey!"

"Where did I just put my pajamas?!"

"It's so dark inside, I can't see!"

"I'm tired, let's go to sleep tonight. We can do that thing tomorrow after sunrise. Anyway, we didn't say when to put it on my sister."

Chao Ke said in an exaggerated manner, and then hugged his sister's delicate body tightly.

Arecino: "?"

Arecino, who was pretending to be asleep, gritted her teeth and thought to herself.

"This guy..."

"His actions tonight were very much in line with his character..."

"No...we can't let him get away with this. If he dares to take another step, we'll kick him out."

However, at this point, Chao Ke also stopped his pursuit.

Instead, he held his sister tightly in his arms and whispered in her ear.

"Thank you, sister. I really like this gift as a prize."

"Sister, I like you."

After saying that, Chao Ke leaned against the pillow and began breathing in the same way his sister had just done, signaling that he was also "asleep" and would not continue to offend her.

Arecino sighed silently, realizing she was being manipulated by her younger brother.

Oh well, this is the result I wanted anyway.

Arecino opened her eyes, turned over, and was now facing Chao Ke.

Arecino stepped forward and gently kissed Chao Ke.

"This is the real gift for winning the championship."

Chao Ke smiled and tightened her grip on her sister's arm slightly, bringing the two of them even closer.

The moonlight is beautiful tonight.

It was a rare full moon.

Chapter 165 Falushan's Recent Situation

The next morning.

Although Alec was already awake, Arecino remained in bed pretending to be asleep.

However, his complexion looked a little unnatural.

Chao Ke also kept his promise from last night.

I picked up my sister's pajamas, which were nearby, and helped her put them on.

After helping his older sister get dressed, Chao Ke gently patted her a few times.

"Sis, it's time to get up, it's already morning."

Arecino slowly sat up in bed, as if she had just woken up.

Although both of them knew exactly what had happened the night before, neither of them mentioned it.

As usual, they changed clothes, washed up, one went to the kitchen to cook, and the other sat at the table reading today's newspaper.

Both of them deliberately maintained their usual warm and cozy daily routine.

However, both of them were also aware of this.

Things like what happened last night will probably become the new norm soon.

------------

Xumi, at the Grand Bazaar of Xumi City.

As one of the few large markets in Sumeru City, it has always been very popular.

Among them, the stalls selling textiles are the best.

Over the past century, thanks to the widespread use of textile machinery, the industry has benefited from this.

In the past, carpets, curtains, and finished fabrics that were expensive to produce have been reduced to prices that are affordable to the general public.

As a result, in the homes of every Sumeru person, one can see textiles of fairly good workmanship.

Carpets, which were once a symbol exclusively for the powerful and wealthy, have become an important part of interior decoration in Sumeru.

Moreover, textiles with intricate patterns and vibrant colors have become important export commodities for Xumi's foreign trade.

Its popularity has attracted many foreign merchants who have traveled long distances to purchase it.

...

Next to a textile stall in the Grand Bazaar.

Kavi looked at the blankets for sale in the store, but his expression was not very pleasant.

"How could this happen..."

"This blanket is made from plant fibers that I designed, but the pattern printed on this carpet..."

"But it's the auxiliary graphic that guy used to solve the puzzle..."

"What bad luck..."

Kavi cursed his bad luck and left the stall to observe another carpet vendor.

This vendor's stall is much larger than the previous one.

Inside the shop, there are carpets of various materials and styles on display, and even two textile machines that demonstrate the textile process of the products to customers.

Kavi, who originally intended to buy a few carpets, was also attracted by these mechanisms.

These textile machines have some functional shortcomings, requiring horizontal machines to first weave the fabric and then vertical machines to perform intricate carving processes, which is quite cumbersome.

However, there is no denying that their underlying design philosophy is still excellent.

Kavi seemed to be deep in thought, and murmured to himself.

"Could this also be done in building construction...?"

"First, we set up a mechanism to transport building materials, and then weave the building together layer by layer..."

Just then, a voice suddenly came from beside Kavi.

"Junior! Your idea is good."

"But if you want to build a mechanism for transporting building materials, the design of a textile machine won't work."

Kavi was taken aback and looked toward where the speaker was.

"You are..."

"That legendary senior, Farusan, from the Shravasti Academy?"

Hearing Kavi address her as "senior," Farusan's lips curled up slightly, and her mood brightened considerably.

“That’s right, I am Farusan.”

Kavi paused, realizing it really was her.

Kavi was naturally very familiar with the name of this senior, Farusan.

On the one hand, many of the theoretical knowledge I use in architecture was pioneered by this person.

On the other hand, this senior caused quite a stir in the Academy after his return.

The Svahavara Academy, where she was enrolled, extended an invitation to her with extremely high salaries and ample research funding.

However, this senior, Farusan, refused and chose to continue her previous research at the Shravasti Academy where she had previously been.

Even though her field of research is no longer popular and she is quite neglected at the Shravasti Academy.

I heard that of the research projects she applied for, only the first few were approved and she received some research funding.

Subsequent research applications were all rejected by the Śrāvatāram Academy's project review panel, even worse than those of ordinary students.

This incident caused quite a stir among the scholars in the Academy.

Kavi stepped forward and spoke to Farusan.

“Um, Senior Farusan.”

"Could you explain how you came to the conclusion that 'this design is not feasible'?"

Seeing Kavi's earnest attitude in seeking advice, Farusan began to explain.
