It is not yet possible to confirm whether the two of them are plotting treason, but these two are definitely not good people.

Chapter 180 A Strange Gift

"Yuan Hua, what are you doing?"

"Ok?"

Yuan Hua slowly closed his notebook and looked back. He saw Catherine, dressed in a court robe, peek in from outside the door.

"Why are you still awake so late? What are you doing here?"

Yuan Hua casually rolled the notebook into the darkroom to prevent Catherine from curiously opening it.

"You're still awake too."

After confirming that Yuan Hua was still awake, Catherine walked in gracefully and sat on Yuan Hua's bed.

"I had so much fun during the day that I have so much energy at night that I just can't sleep."

Catherine plopped down on Yuan Hua's bed.

"But you didn't come here to lie down."

Yuan Hua sighed, walked to the front door, and locked the door.

"I should develop the good habit of locking the door."

"No way. If you lock the door, how am I supposed to sneak in and scare you?"

Catherine sat up.

"Who knows if you're doing something shady in your room?"

"What shameful things could I possibly have?"

Yuan Hua tilted his head.

There are so many fully automated systems in the Prison of A Certain Magical Index; even if someone were to do something bad, they wouldn't do it in a room.

"Who knows?"

Catherine gave Yuan Hua a meaningful look...

"There are so many random books in the bookstore, you're bound to see some weird ones. I'm curious, what about you...?"

"If it were you, it wouldn't be impossible..."

Yuan Hua feigned shyness and placed her hand on her zipper...

"No, no, no! I was just kidding!"

Catherine panicked and quickly got up to stop Yuan Hua's actions.

"I was just joking. I don't deserve to die. I've heard that looking at those things can give you a sty."

"Impossible, mine is rather special."

Yuan Hua looked confident.

"Do you mean……"

Catherine swallowed hard...

"size."

"!!!"

……

"Cough cough... I didn't lie to you, did I..."

Yuan Hua zipped up his jacket and cleared his throat...

"What did I just see???"

Catherine stared blankly out the window, her vacant eyes filled with wisdom...

"You were curious and wanted to see it yourself."

Yuan Hua pursed his lips.

"Waaah... It's all over... I'll never be able to get married..."

Catherine hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees...

"Woooooooo..."

"This really isn't my fault..."

Yuan Hua gently patted Catherine's back...

"Don't come here!"

Catherine scrambled backward, staring warily at Yuan Hua...

"Going in that thing will kill you..."

"I didn't do anything to you."

Yuan Hua was speechless...

"But you scared me..."

Catherine sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Yuan Hua with a wary expression.

"If you're scared, go back to your room."

Yuan Hua sighed.

"No, I can't sleep. I came all this way to play with you, and now you're kicking me out..."

Catherine felt even more wronged.

"How about this, I'll arrange something fun for you."

Yuan Hua walked over to the bag, reached inside, and pretended to rummage through it, but was actually browsing the mall...

"Um……"

"..."

Seeing Yuan Hua fumbling around, Catherine tiptoed over...

"Found it, found it. You can take this and play with it."

Yuan Hua took out the Kun Kun Playing with Pearls puzzle from his backpack.

"A jigsaw puzzle? What's printed on it?"

Catherine frowned...

"It looks a bit like a black-boned chicken wearing overalls."

"Can you change one?"

Catherine handed the puzzle back to Yuan Hua.

"This is so ugly, I don't want it."

"Alright, alright."

Yuan Hua never intended to give this to her; he only took it out to tease her.

This is such an old joke from so many years ago.

"Would you like this copy of 'The Annihilation Fairy Tale'?"

"Children's 'poisons'?"

Catherine immediately put on a mask of pain...

"Why are there so many weird things in your backpack...?"

"Uh... I guess so..."

Yuan Hua flipped through the sand again and finally found an hourglass.

"Do you want this? It contains fluorescent powder, so it will glow."

"Yes, yes, I want this one."

Catherine returned "The Annihilation Fairy Tale" to Yuan Hua, took the hourglass, and began to play with it with great interest...

"Can we go back to our rooms and sleep now?"

Yuan Hua picked up Catherine.

"No."

Catherine shook her head.

"Hey little helper, can you have a chat with me?"

"Hmm...actually, I already want to sleep..."

Yuan Hua placed Catherine on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"If you don't want to go back, lie down here for a while. I'll take you back to your room after you fall asleep."

"Ah."

Catherine nodded...

……

"Finally, she fell asleep."

Yuan Hua wiped away a bead of sweat and tossed the storybook aside.

We've been telling stories all night, and it's almost dawn. In a little while, the maids will all be up and getting to work. If they see their mistress lying in her room, we won't say they're out, but they'll at least be kicked out.

While others listened to stories attentively, Catherine always had some strange thoughts when listening to stories, such as why the hunter didn't elope with Snow White, but instead let the dwarves have her.

The seven dwarfs stayed with Snow White for so long. When the prince kissed Snow White, did they feel like they were being cheated on?
