Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Xi Lan really wanted to wait for Xing and the others, but Toppa tightened his grip on her wrist, as if he didn't want her to have any contact with them.

...Could it be an illusion?

The other person's actions naturally reminded Xi Lan of the kiss in the hotel room.

They both agreed to pretend that it had never happened.

However, when they were spending time together in private, Xi Lan still felt slightly uncomfortable.

Especially when she vaguely sensed that the relationship had changed, she felt a strange feeling she couldn't quite put her finger on.

strange.

As long as Topa doesn't choose to break up the relationship, Yulan will act as if nothing happened.

How could Toppa not know what Xilan was thinking after spending so much time with her?

Isn't this a form of indulgence?

Sister Xilan.

Toppa held Xilan's wrist tightly without saying much. The two of them arrived at the beautifully decorated museum one after the other.

The two of them barely said a word, simply admiring these little gadgets that were considered "antiques" by the company.

Surprisingly, Xing and March 7th once again followed in Topa's footsteps and arrived at the museum.

Toppa subconsciously turned his gaze to Xilan, as if seeking an answer.

Xi Lan simply waved her hand helplessly, indicating that it had nothing to do with her.

Alright alright.

The person Mingming least wanted to see right now was that indifferent-looking pioneer who was still keeping his eyes on Xilan.

But... at least outwardly, she couldn't show any impatience.

It's better to have a good relationship with the Star Train than to have a bad one.

As expected, Xilan stood aside listening to Topa and Xing's conversation about March 7th, all of which were related to Topa's upcoming work.

Although she was there to take care of Toppa, Xilan didn't interfere much with the work of the ten Stone Hearts; she was just a proper decoration.

The conversation between the group ended with Toppa changing the subject, and even the issue of debt remained unresolved.

"Alright, it's getting late, it's about time to get off work. Sister Xilan, let's go home."

Toppa smiled, seemingly wanting to take Xilan away from here.

Just as Xi Lan was about to say something, Xing grabbed her wrist, trapping her between the two of them.

A rare, faint smile appeared on Xing's face, but her gaze toward Topa held a hint of irritation.

"Since it's after get off work hours, does Xilan no longer need to stay by Miss Topa's side?"

------------

Chapter 145 Where did you get this kid?

March 7th, who was standing to one side, looked left and right, and then focused her gaze on Miss Fox, who was sandwiched between the two of them.

Despite being taller than March 7th, she now appears so weak and helpless.

Even she, as an observer, could sense that things were starting to go wrong, and there was even a smell of gunpowder.

Is this... this the legendary battleground?!

Wow, that's awesome!

Although I've seen it in comic books, it's still the most exciting thing to see it live!

March 7 blinked her bright, sparkling eyes, and her curious, sparkling gaze was naturally caught by Xi Lan.

Like grasping at a straw, Xi Lan quickly pulled the two away: "I, I'm just going for a walk outside with Xiao Sanyue! I need my freedom even after get off work!!"

This melon inexplicably touched upon the very nature of March 7th, and at this moment, under the gaze of Topa and March 7th, he let out a few dry laughs.

"Huh? Me?" She stretched out her hand and pointed to herself with trembling hands. The smile on her face looked very forced no matter how you looked at it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to break free, Xi Lan acted like a close sister, unilaterally reaching out and wrapping her arms around the other's exposed shoulder.

"Let's go, Little March, let's go to another restaurant for dinner, it's on me, it's on me."

She didn't even give March 7 a chance to answer, whispering in her ear, "Help me out, I'll pay for the camera and all the equipment you want to buy next time."

After hearing Xi Lan's conversation, a certain gradient-colored dumpling coughed a few times in a righteous manner, and then hugged Xi Lan's arm in a completely cooperative manner.

"That's right! Let's take care of Sister Xilan's time after get off work!"

March 7th, looking completely confident, led a silver-white fox lady outside.

As soon as they took a few steps, Topa and Xing followed behind, looking like they were determined to keep pestering them.

"Why don't you all go and take a break after a long day?"

Xi Lan finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.

"But Sister Xilan, I haven't had dinner yet... You wouldn't want me to go hungry, would you?" Topa, as always, showed an expression that softened Xilan's heart.

Xing, who was standing to the side, seemed to have noticed something as well, and pitifully tugged at Xi Lan's clothes.

"I haven't eaten since this morning, I'm starving."

Once again, Xi Lan was pestered by these two little ones. Her eyelids twitched slightly, especially when she saw their pitiful eyes looking at her. She just couldn't bear to refuse either of them.

This situation seems even more difficult than when Ms. Emerald was interrogating me!

In the end, we decided to take the three troublesome little ones with us and randomly found a restaurant where we could eat dinner.

Because Xi Lan cleverly sat in the corner next to March 7, she never gave Topa and Xing a chance to sandwich her in the middle again.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least during dinner, the time they spent together was relatively harmonious, and at least the tension was gone.

But this peace is likely only temporary.

Xi Lan chewed the food in her mouth, but sighed inwardly. For once, she regretted coming with Xiao Yelina.

Who could have known that the other person and Xing would produce such a reaction when they were together?

She had a slight headache, so she pinched the bridge of her nose and, with a sense of reluctance, finally finished the dinner.

After finishing her dinner, Xi Lan stood up and walked lightly to pay the bill.

During this process, the three of them stared at each other without saying much. After all, it was after get off work hours, and it would be impolite to discuss work further.

Whether Xing and Topa are rivals or something else, talking about anything else would only make things more awkward.

Only March 7th was left, restless and anxious, desperately hoping that Sister Xilan would return soon.

"What are you all still sitting here for? Get ready to go back."

Xi Lan looked at the group of people who were too silent, raised her eyebrows in surprise, and seemed a little puzzled.

In March 7's view, the furry figure seemed like a savior, radiating light.

"It's getting late, it's almost time to rest. Go do whatever you need to do, it's free time."

She patted March 7th's head like a parent would: "Although I know you and Xing have already embarked on your destiny, you should still wear more clothes. I'm still a little worried that you might catch a cold."

Xi Lan handed the hot drink, which she had specially heated up at the counter, to March 7.

As for Xing, she still patted her head and said, "You should go back and rest early, okay? If anything happens, contact me on the terminal, and I'll reply to your message promptly."

"Let's go, little Topa. Take Zhangzhang back to the hotel to rest. I also have something to talk to you about." At this moment, Xi Lan rarely showed such adult authority. She called Topa and Zhangzhang to leave.

This was barely a conversation she could manage, and thankfully Xing didn't say anything strange again.

Watching Xilan and Topana leave hand in hand, Xing lowered her eyes slightly, looking unhappy, as if she had just gotten a guaranteed win in a gacha game.

Even after returning to the train, she remained in this state, showing no reaction even when the familiar holographic projection appeared in front of Xing.

"Why do you look like you've just broken up? Did you really get dumped? You look so gloomy." Silver Wolf waved his hand, chewing gum, and raised an eyebrow at Xing, who was looking down. "Could something have happened with Xi Lan?"

"Waaah..." Xing cried out like a wronged puppy, "Am I not her favorite raccoon anymore...?"

"Give her back her child! Aren't I her child too?!"

Xing rarely showed such a tantrum, but she didn't notice that Silver Wolf had once again quietly lowered the volume of the communicator.

Why does this darn kid always seem to have these problems every time I come? Did he somehow time his arrival perfectly?

No, that's not the problem. But it's just that I haven't had time to play games with Xilan to sound her out for a while now, right?

The thing Silver Wolf is most curious about right now is:

What does it mean to...

Xi Lan's child?

They even had a child in such a short time?!

If Kafka finds out about this...

As the title suggests, I need to take one day off.
