"Go take a bath first to relax, then come back and read."
Not until Lynn finished reading this page did Hermione gently pat her on the shoulder.
Hermione, having just bathed, still had damp hair; she was continuously drying it with a towel, while a faint, delicate fragrance emanated from her body.
It wasn't the scent of shower gel, but rather seemed like the heat of the water had brought out the natural scent of Hermione's body.
Lynn's nose twitched slightly; for some reason, this scent made her mind suddenly tighten, and her chest area also felt a sudden wave of heat.
Closing the book, Lynn nodded and stood up. "Okay, then I'll go take a bath first."
After saying this, she picked up her pajamas and toiletries and walked into the washroom.
Hermione watched her retreating figure enter the washroom and smiled with satisfaction, then sat back on her bed to dry her hair completely before picking up the Arithmancy Class book and reading it intently.
Crookshanks walked to her feet and gently rubbed against her ankle. Hermione smiled, leaned over to pet Crookshanks on the head, and it lay down on the floor motionless, no longer disturbing Hermione's reading.
After coming out of the bath, Lynn used a towel to dry her hair with lightning speed, completely unconcerned about whether excessive force might damage her hair.
Her only goal was to dry her hair in the shortest possible time.
Giving her all to maximize time efficiency and create more time for studying was something she, as a student, had to do.
Hermione looked up from her book and frowned hard at the force with which Lynn was drying her hair.
Closing the book, she put on her slippers and walked over.
The towel Lynn was using to dry her hair was suddenly taken by Hermione. Turning to look at Hermione, she saw Hermione smiling and blinking, then gently and slowly drying Lynn's hair.
"You must be gentle when drying your hair; otherwise, what will you do if you damage it?"
Lynn nodded with an indifferent expression. "Okay, I'll remember that. Next time, I'll be gentler."
Senior Maranhao and Marietta, sitting on the bed, exchanged a glance, both wearing expressions of being sweetened by the scene.
Lynn and Hermione were already this "lovey-dovey"; what would it be like when the two of them officially became partners?
Watching the two younger students whose figures were almost overlapping, Senior Maranhao stroked her chin and looked at Marietta.
She should also hurry up; she didn't want her silly "best friend" to suddenly open up to some boy later.
Then wouldn't she be too late?
Narrowing her eyes, Senior Maranhao began to prepare her plan. If nothing else, she had to make Marietta realize this Valentine's Day that her feelings for her were different from those for a pure best friend.
Hermione's hair-drying motions were very gentle, and Lynn, being dried while reading, was completely unaffected.
She could even recite the text under her breath; Hermione could only smile helplessly at this. At least from the experience of last year, Lynn's habit of memorizing entire books had many benefits.
After her hair was thoroughly dried, it was nearly twelve o'clock. Senior Maranhao and Marietta had already pulled their bed curtains shut to sleep after saying goodnight to the two younger students.
Lynn also stood up, took the towel from Hermione's hand, hung it up, and then looked at her, saying mechanically.
"It's almost twelve o'clock; I should sleep too. Goodnight, Hermione."
Hermione nodded, opened her arms, and hugged Lynn. "Goodnight, Lynn."
Lynn stiffly extended her hands and hugged Hermione back.
Immediately after, she lay down on the bed under Hermione's gaze.
Pulling the quilt up for Lynn, Hermione unfastened her bed curtains, pulled them tight, and after confirming no light could pass through, returned to her own bed.
Pulling back the quilt, she lay down in a pleasant mood. Honestly, just thinking about the fact that she was currently sleeping in the same room as Lynn made her incredibly happy.
Turning over, Lynn faced the direction of Hermione's bed outside the curtains, slowly closed her eyes, and in the next second, she instantly fell into sleep.
Due to long-term subtle influence, Lynn's sleep had finally improved somewhat.
Although her reaction time while sleeping was still the same as before—even in deep sleep, she would wake up at any slight noise around her—
at least she could manage to sleep for six full hours now, instead of waking up every hour.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already six o'clock the next morning.
Silently pulling open the bed curtains, Lynn walked into the washroom barefoot to wash up.
It was too early now; Hermione, Senior Maranhao, and Marietta were all still sleeping, and she shouldn't disturb everyone.
This was also Lynn's consistent practice; if she woke up early, she shouldn't make noise that would affect others' sleep.
Disturbing others like that was incorrect and did not conform to the rules of etiquette.
