Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

The restaurant charged me wrong, and then yesterday was my mom's birthday, but she accidentally cut her hand, and it only started hurting today...

Who could be so unlucky?!

(But I got Feixiao's exclusive weapon today, so I feel like I can write about the two foxes sticking together later.)

(There's so much I want to write...)

Chapter 146 Your whole family are the losers!

Compared to the lively scene on Xing's side, the atmosphere on Topa and Xilan's side became somewhat subdued when they returned to the hotel.

It wasn't until Xi Lan closed the door herself, walked past Topa, and sat directly on the edge of the bed, looking at the other person who was like a child in front of her.

She could only helplessly pat the empty space beside the bed, indicating that Toppa should sit next to her.

As a result, you see the little guy being very cautious, looking like he's done something wrong, with his lips slightly pursed. You can tell how he feels without even looking at him.

Although Xi Lan felt helpless, she still softened and reached out to Topa, taking her hand more readily. She said softly, "What's wrong? Why are you so nervous around me?"

A smile unconsciously appeared on her face, but in Xi Lan's eyes, it seemed somewhat forced: "I'm not nervous, Sister Xi Lan... What do you want to tell me?"

"I just wanted to ask, how did you and Xing get along today?" Xi Lan asked softly. "You two are the children I care about the most. If there is any conflict, you can talk to me about it."

The mere mention of this filled Toppa with a torrent of words he wanted to say to the person in front of him.

The way that person looked at you was clearly not innocent, Sister Xilan.

"There's no contradiction, Sister Xilan, really, I just, I just..." Her usually eloquent mouth suddenly didn't know what to say.

Xi Lan, who could clearly perceive the other person's emotions, knew without a doubt that it was because Xing's words, whether sincere or teasing, had affected her mindset.

"Was it something Xing said? Were you influenced?"

She quietly closed the distance between herself and the man, then slowly put her arm around Toppa's shoulder and silently pulled him into her embrace.

"Hmm..." Toppa's face was unusually free of the relaxed look he had when he was working; he simply let himself lean on Xilan's shoulder.

Smelling the fragrance emanating from that person, as if it could calm her down, Toppa simply closed her eyes, feeling somewhat weary.

“It’s my fault. Ever since that child met me, he’s called me by a different name almost every time we meet.”

“It was the same when Ms. Emerald picked me up.”

She lowered her eyes slightly with a hint of worry, then sighed subtly, "If I have time later, I will discipline her properly."

Both sides are equally precious to Xi Lan, and she can't show favoritism to either of them. All she can do is try to treat them equally.

"Sister Xilan, are you angry because of what I did today?"

Toppa rubbed his palm, a hint of nervousness in his eyes as he glanced at Xilan's expression.

Contrary to her expectations, Xi Lan's face did not show any anger or any other negative emotions.

"Why would you think that, little Yelena?"

Xi Lan gently pressed down on the back of Topa's neck, making her fit more snugly in her arms.

"...I thought you were unhappy."

"Of course not, how could I possibly show you that kind of look?" Xi Lan patted Topa's back as if coaxing a child: "Besides, it was my fault in the first place, don't worry about it too much, little Yelena."

"How about I let you sleep with your tail tonight?"

Toppa, though muffled, agreed more readily this time.

Nothing is more important than patting someone's tail!

Having easily appeased Topa, Xi Lan leisurely wagged her fluffy tail.

"Ah."

"Want to take a shower together later?"

Toppa was about to agree: "...Hmm...?" But then he seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up.

"May I?"

"Of course! We haven't bathed together in ages. Come help me wash my tail, okay? Little Yelena?" She smiled, seemingly genuinely sincere.

To appease the child, they'd even risk their own tail.

This is probably what it means to take care of a child's feelings.

Xi Lan didn't think there was anything wrong with inviting the other person to take a bath. In fact, she thought it was alright, at least she wouldn't have to go through the trouble of dealing with her own mess in the bathroom.

Moreover, the skincare essential oil recommended by that Ms. Yu Kong is also worth trying; she's been itching to try it for a long time.

No fox-person dislikes any way of maintaining their tail.

As soon as Xi Lan finished speaking, Topa happily agreed, as if afraid that the other person would change their mind.

She just chuckled and watched Toppa hurry to the washroom to prepare hot water.

She supported herself on the bed with both hands, and let out a subtle sigh out of sight of Toppa.

Ah... how should I tell Hoshino about this?

Before leaving, Xing didn't seem very happy.

They haven't even contacted me yet.

Xi Lan glanced at her terminal uncertainly, and then realized that no one had sent her any messages.

Never mind, I'll talk to her properly when we're face to face later.

"Sister Xilan! I've prepared the hot water! Would you like to come in together?"

Toppa poked his little head out of the bathroom, and for some reason, Xilan saw excitement in his eyes.

...It's like a lamb being led into the jaws of a tiger.

But when she came to her senses, the child's gaze was simply warm as he looked at her, without any hint of anything amiss.

Xi Lan attributed it to her exhaustion and simply assumed she had misjudged the situation.

She then slowly took off her coat and went straight into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, little Topa had already taken off his clothes and was staring longingly at Xilan.

"Are you getting impatient?"

She smiled as she removed all her clothes, and a blush was visibly rising on the little one's face.

"It's not like it's the first time we've showered together, why are you still shy?"

Xi Lan slowly moved closer, bathing Topa's body with warm water, and looked at her with a smile as her ears turned completely red.

That excessive softness was now pressed against the side of her arm, and this warm, moist touch was far too stimulating for the innocent Toppa.

Especially when Xi Lan's palm touched her skin, along with the sticky feeling of the shower gel, she unconsciously rubbed her legs together and breathed softly involuntarily.

"Sister Xilan, let me help you too!"

Perhaps it was because of her young age and boldness, especially since Toppa had groped her thoroughly, that she reached out her hand to Xilan without hesitation.

Still clinging to sisterly affection, Xi Lan agreed without much thought, completely unaware of what would happen next.

"Wait! Don't touch...your waist..."

Meanwhile, Xing, who was crying and making a scene on the Starry Sky Train, had no idea what the fox lady she was so fond of was doing.

The person who takes a bath with Yuuri and even gets to wipe their body is me, Topada.jpg

Chapter 147 Only children make choices; adults want it all!

"Hey, hey, stop making that face! What happened? Why are you acting like that?"

Silver Wolf was now more interested in watching the drama unfold, so after adjusting the volume, he moved closer to Xing.

After all, they don't have much time to properly observe Xi Lan's situation right now; they only know that she's doing quite well under Emerald's care.

It was so good that even Kafka was 'happier'.

Just thinking about how someone's aura made people afraid to get close during those days, Silver Wolf certainly didn't dare to approach them for a while.

On the surface, it did seem that the other party had indeed suffered a setback at the hands of that jade lady.

The progress I finally made was overtaken by that person again.

If this were Silver Wolf, he would probably be furious too.

It's like trying to win over a player in a game. You finally catch up with another player before they do, but that player uses some other advantage to raise your favorability level all over again.

"Will you tell Kafka?"

Xing blinked her puppy-dog eyes, as if she was expecting something.

"She...she's not here. She went on a mission and hasn't come back yet." Silver Wolf lied without batting an eye: "Or is there something else you want to say?"

The gray raccoon slumped back down once again.

She's not here...

In fact, Hoshino does have some attachment to Yuu-ran and Kafka.

It's just that this person rarely shows up, acting mysteriously, and sending messages is always a one-time account.

Although she knew that the other party had their reasons for doing so... from an emotional point of view, Xing didn't know why she was so attached to Xi Lan.

Could it be that when his memories were still intact, he and Xilan had a really good relationship?

Having been exposed to comic books, Xing suddenly recalled many stories she had read, and even seemed to hear the sound of "Aha, this is so much fun!"

But when she came to her senses, the laughing voice seemed to have disappeared from her mind, as if it were just her imagination.
