But at this moment, Rias really wished she could read minds so that she could know what was really in Gu Bo's mind.

finally.

"Miss Rias, why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Gu Bo finally spoke slowly.

"I……"

Hearing Gu Bo's question, Rias's cheeks turned red.

"I'm just... just curious..." Rias lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Bo's eyes. She twisted the corners of her nightgown tightly with her hands, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"curious?"

Having said that, Gu Bo paused deliberately and stared at Rias.

Rias's heartbeat quickened again, and she could even feel her cheeks getting hot.

"So, what if I say that my type is... someone like Rias-san?"

"!?"

Gu Bo said the second half of the sentence.

Rias suddenly raised her head... His type is someone like me?

"Master Gu...Master Gu Bo, is your...is yours true?"

Rias asked stutteringly, her voice shaking.

"Of course, Miss Rias. Are you surprised?"

"I..." Rias opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, her mind was blank and all her thoughts were in a mess.

Seeing Rias's dazed look, a smile flashed in Gu Bo's eyes.

"Well, Miss Rias, it's getting late, you should get some rest."

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow~"

"I……".

[104] Rias's midnight visit and the sudden appearance of Venelana

Rias looked at Gu Bo's departing back, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't speak.

She knew that she needed time to digest all this.

……

After Gu Bo left, Rias stood alone in the room, her mind full of thoughts.

She walked to the window, opened it, and let the cool night breeze blow on her face.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling on the earth, covering the Diablo family's castle with a layer of silver gauze.

Rias looked at the scenery outside the window, and her previous conversation with Gu Bo kept replaying in her mind.

"Does he really like me?"

"But... why?"

"Am I... really that good?"

Questions arose in Rias's mind.

She stood by the window, feeling the cold wind for a long time.

Only then did the turbulent emotions in my heart gradually calm down.

"call……"

Rias sighed and turned towards the bed.

She needs a good night's sleep.

There are still many things to deal with tomorrow.

Just as Rias was about to go to bed.

Her eyes suddenly caught sight of a book on the table.

That book was the one she had taken from Gu Bo's study.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this."

Rias muttered to herself before picking up the book and gently flipping through it.

As if it was the thoughts in her heart that were causing trouble, Rias suddenly thought about whether she could find some clues about the "Dark Temple Knights" in the book.

Then, as if possessed, he picked up the book, gently opened it, and began to read in the dim light of the bedside lamp.

In Rias's opinion.

The pages of the book are yellowed and emit a faint musty smell, obviously it is quite old.

She turned the pages carefully, fearing that she would damage the ancient book.

The words in the book are ancient and obscure, difficult to understand and hard to pronounce.

but.

There are notes below, which I can barely understand.

Rias carefully read the book from beginning to end.

only……

The thoughts in Rias's mind grew stronger and stronger, entwining her heart like a vine, making her toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.

"No, I still can't sleep..."

She bit her lower lip lightly, her green eyes flickering in the darkness.

Finally, as if she had made up her mind, she sat up abruptly, put on a coat, and walked out of the room cautiously.

……

It was late at night and the castle was silent, with only the candlelight on both sides of the corridor emitting light.

Rias walked lightly down the hallway, her high heels making no sound on the soft carpet.

She came to Gu Bo's door, stopped, took a deep breath, as if to muster up courage, and then knocked on the door gently.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The knock on the door was particularly clear in the silent corridor, and it made Rias's heartbeat suddenly accelerate.

……

At the same time, inside the room.

Gu Bo had already laid down on the bed, ready to rest.

After all, after being busy for so long.

Even if you don’t feel tired, you still need to relax.

But just when Gu Bo was about to fall asleep.

A slight knock on the door suddenly came, pulling him out of his hazy sleep.

"Please come in."

Cooper sat up.

"Squeak-"

As the door was gently pushed open, a slender figure appeared at the door.

With the dim candlelight in the corridor, Gu Bo could clearly see the appearance of the person who came.

Her long crimson hair cascaded down her shoulders, smooth and shiny. On her delicate face, a pair of emerald green eyes sparkled like gemstones, captivatingly shining.

At this moment, she was wearing a silk nightgown with a slightly open neckline, revealing her delicate collarbone and a touch of snow-white skin.

The hem of her nightgown swayed gently as she walked, revealing a pair of slender and well-proportioned white thighs.

"Miss Rias? It's so late, what can I do for you?"

Gu Bo asked in surprise when he realized that the person coming was Rias.

He didn't expect that Rias would come to him at this time.

"Master Gu Bo, I'm sorry to disturb your rest."

"It's okay, come in."

Seeing this, Gu Bo couldn't help but feel helpless, and then gestured for Lias to come into the house.

Rias then stepped in and gently closed the door.

She walked to Gu Bo's bed, lowered her head, and twisted the corners of her nightgown tightly with her hands, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Gu Bo looked at Rias's uneasy appearance and became even more confused.

"me……"

Rias's pretty face looked particularly rosy in the candlelight. She lowered her head, her hands unconsciously twisting the hem of her nightgown, her voice as small as a mosquito's.

"It's just that I...I can't sleep..."

"So I wanted to come and chat with you..."

"Just wanted to chat."

Upon hearing this, Gu Bo was stunned at first, but then he quickly reacted.

"I thought it was something important."

A hint of smile flashed in Gu Bo's purple-red eyes:

"Well, since Miss Rias can't sleep, I'll chat with you."

"Thank you, Master Gubo!"

When Rias heard that Gu Bo agreed, she was immediately delighted and quickly thanked him.

"Come and sit."

Cooper patted the edge of the bed beside him.

Rias hesitated for a moment, but finally walked over obediently and sat down next to Gu Bo.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Gu Bo turned sideways and looked at Rias's delicate face, which looked particularly soft and charming under the dim light.

"I..." Rias opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. She could only feel her heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out of her chest, and blood rushed to her cheeks, bringing waves of heat.

Gu Bo looked at Rias's nervous expression, and a hint of understanding flashed in his purple eyes.

So he smiled slightly, said nothing, and just looked at Rias quietly, waiting for her to speak.

Inside the room, the candlelight flickered gently, stretching the two figures long and intertwining them on the wall.

An ambiguous atmosphere quietly permeated the air.

Rias secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Bo, only to find that he was staring at her intently.

Rias' heartbeat quickened as those deep purple eyes seemed to be like a whirlpool, sucking her soul in.

Rias quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into Gu Bo's eyes again.

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

This sudden sound made Rias' body tremble violently, like a frightened deer.

"Master Gu Bo, have you rested?"

Then, Venelana's magnetic voice came from outside the door, like mellow red wine, with a hint of imperceptible charm.
