Female Supremacy Genshin: Otherworld Simulation, All Yellow-Haired

Got it! Let me format the continuation exactly as you want it. Here's a reworked version of Chapter 36, ensuring it reflects your original narrative:

The midday sun shone through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room.

"It's almost done. I'll polish it tomorrow, and it should be ready for submission," Lin Anyi said as he set his pen down. Feeling the weight of his work lifting, he moved toward the sofa, ready to relax.

Out of nowhere, Funina leapt onto his lap like an excited kitten, her eyes filled with a mix of eagerness and hesitation.

"Anyi, let's discuss something~" Her voice was soft, almost coy.

Lin Anyi looked up at her, his expression softening. "If there's something on your mind, just say it. No need to be so dramatic about it."

Funina bit her lip, glancing away as though rehearsing her words. Finally, she tilted her head slightly and asked, "My best friend wants to stay with us for a few days. What do you think?"

The question made Lin Anyi pause, confusion flickering across his face.

"Why ask me? If you want her to come, just invite her," he replied casually. "Besides, you don't usually like me being around other women. Since you're okay with it, I don't have any objections."

Funina's face lit up, her smile bright and contagious. She clapped her hands, practically bouncing on the sofa.

"I knew you'd agree! You're the best, Anyi. I'll go let her know right now!"

As she turned to leave, practically skipping to the door, Lin Anyi's expression darkened as a sudden realization hit him.

"Wait a second, Fufu."

She stopped and looked back, tilting her head curiously.

"Who's this best friend you're talking about?" he asked, his voice quieter now.

A playful glint appeared in Funina's eyes. "Guess," she teased, her tone lighthearted.

But Lin Anyi's heart sank. Memories from the simulation surged to the forefront of his mind—moments he'd worked hard to forget. His lips parted, and he uttered a name with unmistakable apprehension.

"...Clorinde?"

Funina grinned, her laugh like the soft chime of bells. "That's right! You guessed it."

Her cheerful tone was a stark contrast to Lin Anyi's increasingly grim expression.

Noticing his unease, Funina furrowed her brow. "What's wrong, Anyi? You don't seem happy about it."

Lin Anyi hesitated, his thoughts a swirling storm of emotions. He wanted to speak up, to voice his concerns about the memories clawing at him. But instead, he shook his head.

"No, it's fine," he murmured.

The mention of Clorinde's name had struck a chord deep within him, dredging up vivid recollections of the last simulation. The emotions he'd felt—anger, betrayal—were fresh again, but he forced himself to consider the circumstances.

It hadn't entirely been Clorinde's fault. He had been under Alechino's hypnosis, mistaking her for Funina, and his own actions had led her astray. Though her lapse in judgment had been serious, it wasn't wholly unforgivable.

"She's Funina's best friend," Lin Anyi reminded himself. "She wouldn't cross any lines in reality."

Steeling his nerves, Lin Anyi turned to Funina with a warm smile. "Go ahead and pick her up, Fufu. I'll start preparing lunch."

His voice was full of tenderness and tolerance, as if he was expressing the most sincere welcome to the upcoming best friend. 

When Funina heard Lin Anyi's words, her eyes flashed with emotion. She walked quickly to Lin Anyi, hugged him vigorously, then turned around happily, skipped out of the room, and went to greet her best friend Clorinde who was about to visit.

_______________

Lin Anyi and Clorinde had already met in real life due to the introduction of Funina. Therefore, when Clorinde came in, the two did not exchange excessive pleasantries and quickly invited her in.

At the table, Lin Anyi and Funina sat side by side, while Clorinde sat opposite—a very normal seating arrangement. Lin Anyi took the initiative to lead the topic with his usual enthusiasm, trying to make the atmosphere more lively. However, Clorinde's state today was obviously a little different. She lowered her head from time to time, with a tangled look on her face, as if she was worried about something.

Seeing his girlfriend's best friend like this, Lin Anyi felt both worried and relieved at the same time. Clorinde's appearance was obviously worried. And in this state, she naturally would not have any bad thoughts about him. It seemed that he could rest assured.

At the same time, Funina's eyes fell on Clorinde. This usually lively and cheerful girl suddenly had the plot of the light novel in her mind the moment Clorinde just walked in.

The bad woman who wanted to seduce the heroine's boyfriend took advantage of the heroine's best friend when she first approached the couple! In the novel, the bad woman's first visit to the heroine's home for dinner was described in detail. The seating arrangement described there was exactly the same as now!

When she realized this, Funina couldn't help but become alert. She remembered that halfway through the meal, the bad woman couldn't help but start to harass the heroine's boyfriend. First, she took off her high heels, and then, using the cover of the table, she boldly stretched her black silk feet to the heroine's boyfriend's legs and rubbed them up and down in a rather provocative manner...

Funina felt her cheeks gradually getting hot, and her inner uneasiness and suspicion began to spread. Although all this was just a plot in the novel, she couldn't help but start to worry:

"Clorinde... isn't she doing this now?"

When she thought of this good friend, who she trusted deeply, secretly doing something to her boyfriend Lin Anyi under the table, Funina felt her heart race. Lin Anyi might be afraid that she would find out, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, not daring to make a sound...

This thought made her heart beat faster, and she actually had a strong urge. Funina wanted to secretly lower her head and look under the table to verify her guess.
