-Good night to you too Mei.

Once Valentin had spoken his words; he turned around and went to bed. So I did the same. After a few minutes I heard soft breathing towards Valentin who had just fallen asleep peacefully. He's so handsome when he sleeps. After a few minutes I fell asleep peacefully watching Valentin sleep. That night I had no nightmares or dreams about the person in front of me.

I wake up slowly, the light shining through the curtains hurts my eyes.

However, I am trying to get used to the brightness. Once I do, I sit up from the bed and direct my head towards where Valentine and Cancer are sleeping.

To my great surprise I see him awake and cross-legged on the mattress reading the book I am reading. The book is called "Friends #1" by Marie-Charlotte François. This is one of my favorite books.

At this sight I can't help but smile. I even notice that and at least make it halfway through the book. It binds quickly. I didn't think someone like him could read that fast, let alone love books. He is so immersed in his reading that it takes a few minutes to realize that I am awake.

He raises his head and seeing that I am looking at him smiles and exclaims:

-Hello, Did you sleep well?

-Well and you ?

-Alright

We stay for a few minutes looking at each other. As I look down at his hands and see the book, Valentine continues:

-I hope you don't mind that I picked up your book but it looked really good and in fact it did so I took the liberty of starting to read it.

-No, don't worry, it doesn't bother me, I'm just surprised to see you reading and I didn't think you liked books.

-It's true that my appearance is deceptive but I like reading.

-I will be happy to lend you my books if you like them.

I add :

-What time do you start it? because you bond very quickly.

-I will be delighted to read the books you lend me in this case, especially if they are in the same style as this one.

He points to the one in his hand and continues:

-I start them around eight o'clock so I've been reading it for two hours.

Finished looking at his phone.

-So you bond very quickly.

He bursts out laughing:
