Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

With her other hand, she easily picked up Zhang Zhang, who was lying at her feet.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she seriously recalled the time when she was holding Zhang Zhang and compared it to now.

You've definitely gained weight, haven't you?

Xi Lan glanced subtly at Zhang Zhang, who was sitting obediently in her arms. Well, considering how cute you are, she decided not to expose this.

"Would you like a story service?" she teased Topa, who was following obediently and well-behavedly behind her.

"If Sister Xilan doesn't find me annoying, of course you can."

Toppa, who was acting completely out of character, finally came to her senses and readily agreed to Xilan's suggestion.

"Anyway, Sister Xilan is still on vacation, so please spend more time with me."

Coming to her senses, Toppa quietly took Xilan's hand, blinking nervously.

As if afraid she wouldn't agree.

Meanwhile, Yulan, who was bored to the point of mold on the ship, was fortunate to have Topa to chat with, which was a great way to pass the time.

The two chatted idly as they entered the lounge that Jade had originally prepared specifically for Toppa.

There was nothing unusual compared to when I left last time, since there are people who come to clean every day.

Having carried Zhang Zhang the whole way, she jumped down at Xi Lan's prompting as they entered the room.

The silver-white fox lady voluntarily let go of Topa's hand, her expression somewhat subtle as she rubbed her slightly sore arm.

"what's wrong?"

Topa noticed Xilan's subtle movements and subconsciously asked her a question.

She didn't say anything, but simply closed the distance between herself and the other person step by step.

Completely unaware of what had happened, Topa took a few steps back, her face full of confusion: "Xi, Sister Xilan?"

"Be good, don't move, let me see."

Xi Lan didn't stop until she cornered Topa at the bedside, causing the little guy to fall onto the soft bed.

W-what?! Can I see this?!

Surely Sister Xilan couldn't have figured out my feelings for her?!

Topa, whose cheeks quickly flushed red, opened her mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but her anticipation was genuine.

Should we put up a fight?

Topa swallowed hard, her heart pounding, her beautiful eyes fixed on the approaching Xilan.

She nervously closed her eyes.

The warm fingers seemed to touch her arm, while the other hand slightly lifted Topa's shirt around her abdomen.

"Wow, you really do have muscle definition now. Running around with Zhang Zhang every day, it's no wonder you've developed muscles."

Xi Lan murmured to herself, looking at Toppa's clothes, which she had lifted up to her abdomen, with a somewhat curious expression.

After all, it was the first time I'd seen someone else's muscle definition, and I had no idea what it would feel like to touch it.

Meanwhile, Topa, who was feeling her abdomen being touched, saw Xi Lan's curious expression and naturally heard her muttering.

"Sister Xilan, if you want to see it, just say so. You've made me so nervous..." Topa said softly from behind, though it was unclear whether she heard him.

"Hmm, you can touch it back if you want, okay?"

Xi Lan chuckled as she teased Topa.

But I didn't expect the other party to take it seriously.

Her perspective suddenly reversed, her wrist was forcefully grabbed, and then the weight on her waist and abdomen made Xi Lan realize that she was indeed being pinned down by Toppa.

An unknown emotion flickered in the child's eyes, burning intensely, yet seemingly concealing some hidden feeling.

The tips of her ears were already bright red.

However, Topa still wore that confident smile, seemingly unwilling to show a vulnerable side to Xilan once again.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony and return the favor, Sister Xilan~"

----------

Chapter 136 The fox will die of loneliness.

As Toppa lifted Xi Lan's clothes and slipped his hand inside, his palm covered her abdomen. The soft touch made him instinctively pinch the soft flesh on Xi Lan's lower abdomen.

Xi Lan, who was pinned down, had a somewhat subtle expression on her face and subconsciously licked her teeth.

"Wow, it's just like Zhang Zhang's! It feels so nice to touch!"

Although I was praised for how comfortable it felt to touch, isn't it a bit disheartening compared to Zhang Zhang's?

Xi Lan raised her head slightly, looking at Zhang Zhang who was sleeping soundly on her little bed, and still looked at her own stomach with some suspicion.

"Have I gained this much weight recently?"

It even feels almost the same as the paper money?

The confusion on Xi Lan's face was almost overflowing, which successfully made Toppa laugh out loud, and he fell onto Miss Fox.

"It's just a metaphor. I haven't really touched Sister Xilan much. I'm just describing the feel. It feels very comfortable to touch."

She nestled in Xi Lan's soft embrace and chuckled softly, "Even its plumpness feels so comfortable to touch, I really like it."

Topa's ear rested against Xi Lan's chest, and she could clearly hear the person's steady heartbeat.

Reassuring.

Just a hug was enough to bring back the fatigue from working overtime all this time, making it impossible for Toppa to show his strong side again.

She leaned softly against Xi Lan's body, so much so that she couldn't even touch her tail anymore; she just wanted to lie on that warm and soft body.

This is much more comfortable than a throw pillow.

Before falling asleep, Toppa tightened his grip on Xilan's hand, as if unwilling to let go.

Upon noticing Topa's behavior, Xilan chuckled softly and hugged the person pressing down on her as if holding a child.

"...I'll definitely go on a diet when I have time," she muttered softly, not caring whether the other person heard her or not, but at least she kept the idea of ​​going to the gym in her mind.

Perhaps she was really too tired, because after a while Xi Lan heard the steady breathing of the person on top of her.

Um...

Well, if the child likes to lie down, let him lie down for a while.

The parent who dotes on the child the most simply and gently placed the topknot on the soft bed.

After slowing down her movements, she quietly got out of bed and took off Toppa's shoes.

They covered the other person with the blankets again.

Now Xi Lan finally had time to properly observe the bruises under the other person's eyes that even makeup couldn't completely conceal.

"I really have no idea how many overtime hours you've been working."

She reached out and tidied the stray hairs around Toppa's cheek before sitting down on the edge of the bed, looking at the sleeping man calmly and gently.

"It's worrying," she murmured softly, looking at Toppa with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

How long will the other person be able to rest?

At least when she's on a business trip, Xi Lan intends to take good care of the other person.

She can't possibly go with them, can she...?

It doesn't seem to work either.

But that place is too cold... What identity should I use to follow Little Yelena?

Xi Lan fell into deep thought for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly, as if she was seriously considering whether or not to go to that cold planet with Toppa again.

It seems like it will be a while before we go to Pinocchio.

Lady Emerald wouldn't let her return to work either, so Xilan spent her days lazily on the ship, doing nothing but occasionally doing small things to pass the time.

Even the Jade Lady didn't have time to spend with her every day... Every morning when she woke up, the lingering warmth of the bed was all hers alone.

I'm still a little lonely...

After all, I'm used to the lively atmosphere on the Star Train, and now it's so deserted.

Xi Lan unconsciously wagged her tail, looking listless. She hadn't bothered to take care of her tail lately.

Otherwise, I'll just ask Little Yelena to take care of my tail.

Anyway, that little guy has liked his own tail for a long time, so letting him try it isn't a bad idea.

And Ms. Emerald doesn't have time...she doesn't have time...

She lowered her eyes slightly and sighed subtly, looking genuinely lonely.

It's been several days since we last chatted, except for that unknown online friend who often talks to me about various topics... although she always asks me questions about how to make people's hearts soften.

Xi Lan answered the other party in a very cooperative manner.

Although she could sense that the unknown netizen's attitude was a bit strange, at least Xi Lan could chat with the other party to pass the time.

After being lost in her thoughts for a while, Xi Lan slowly came back to her senses and tried to get up from the bedside, only to find that her tail had been held in Toppa's arms at some point.

She tried to pull her tail away, but the other person was holding her too tightly. If she used a little force, or even a bit of coercion, she was afraid she would wake Topa up.

After much deliberation, Xi Lan finally decided to give up, took off her shoes, and crawled barefoot into bed.
