Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Even if the other party dislikes or resents me, it doesn't matter.

But, for some reason, Kafka couldn't help herself and her gaze fell on Yuran.

Watching her grow up little by little, her height surpassing mine long ago, her baby fat fading, she transforming from a clingy little fox into a reserved big fox.

Did Kafka regret it?

I probably won't regret it.

As long as Xi Lan is doing well and her life isn't in danger, she can rest easy...

Well, that's what I thought in my heart, but now when I think of that unethical and unpredictable Jade Lady, I seem to have a slightly different feeling about her little fox.

Her original plan was to let that person be the sucker and take care of her little Xilan.

However, from a practical perspective, this is the case now.

Their relationship had clearly changed.

Kafka felt a rare headache just thinking about these issues, more like the frustration of having her pet fox taken away by someone else.

Oh well, it's my own problem.

Kafka seemed to have lost all her strength, so she leaned back completely against the pillow and quietly waited for Xilan to return.

On her terminal, Silver Wolf kept making all sorts of joking remarks.

Then I took a picture of Elio enjoying a can of cat food and sent it to Kafka without hesitation.

It seems like every Star Core Hunter has a copy of their boss's dark history.

Kafka, unfazed, saved all the photos to her terminal, a gentle smile on her face as she quietly let the sunlight fall upon her.

This peaceful and serene atmosphere allowed her to relax a little, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her, or perhaps the effects of the medicine were also kicking in.

This caused Kafka to half-close her eyes, a rare occurrence for her. Her smiling face gradually quieted down, and she began to squint.

In this environment, Xi Lan didn't knock on the door, but simply opened it.

But the first thing I saw when I went inside was a woman with long, disheveled hair who was already fast asleep.

How long has it been since I've seen the other person like this?

Carrying the patient meal she had prepared herself, Xi Lan subconsciously slowed her pace and placed the meal on the table inside the room.

Standing by the bed, she simply watched quietly as the person seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Only at this moment would Xi Lan shed her disguise, looking at Kafka with a peaceful and calm demeanor, all the feigned aloofness vanishing.

In the end, only peace remained.

After sighing, Xi Lan bent down, loosened her grip, and gently placed the person on the bed.

They even thoughtfully covered her with a blanket.

The slightly messy strands of hair on her cheeks still made her unable to resist reaching out her fingertips to tuck them behind Kaffa's ear.

Xi Lan herself sat on the edge of the bed, her calm eyes filled with complex emotions that made her unsure how to face her next.

She murmured softly, but she was somewhat confused about her own feelings for Kaffa.

Do I really... hate you?

But what exactly is this complex feeling in my heart?

-------

Chapter 151: Am I the Only One Left?

Do I really hate Kaffa?

What exactly are my feelings for her?

Xi Lan quietly watched Kafka, who seemed to be in a deep sleep. Her thick eyelashes drooped, but her emotions were unreadable.

Warm fingertips caressed Kaffa's cheek, the movement so gentle it was like a feather falling.

If Kafka hadn't been awake, she probably wouldn't have noticed Yuran's actions.

For her, this trick of pretending to be asleep was already second nature.

Little did she expect that in her half-awake state, Kafka would hear the little fox's inner thoughts.

Moreover, if her hearing hadn't been so good, she probably wouldn't have heard any of this.

"No matter what... I'm going to hate you, and it won't change anything if you try to soften my heart."

It's because you abandoned me again.

Like a child, Xi Lan released the resentment that had been pent up in her heart for so many years onto the sleeping Kafka.

"You ran away without saying a word back then, and yet you're still the one appearing in front of me and Lady Emerald all these years. Do you think I'm some kind of easy fox to mess with?"

"What's even more outrageous is that they treated me like the little kid I was years ago and did those things without any reason."

"I hate you. I still hate you the most."

As Xi Lan grew angrier, she realized that her emotions were about to get out of control, so she immediately stopped talking.

"...You pay more attention to Xing than I do... You biased bastard, next time you get hurt, just throw him in the trash!!"

Xi Lan subconsciously ground her teeth, wishing she could bite this person a few times to vent her anger.

But as she looked up at the pale-faced Kafka, she decided to vent her emotions verbally before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Kafka, who had listened to the whole thing, didn't dare to breathe loudly, and of course, Xilan didn't realize that she was still pretending to be asleep.

Hmm? Do I pay a lot of attention to stars?

This thought suddenly popped into Kafka's mind, and she even thought about it quite seriously.

Is it true, as Xi Lan said, that I really do favor one side over the other?

But no matter how curious Kafka was, Yulan stopped talking about it.

Aside from the breathing sounds in the room, with her eyes closed, she naturally couldn't see what Xi Lan's expression was like.

Just as Kafka was about to remain calm, Yuran, as if she had been struggling with this for a long time, let out a breath.

"Fine, I'll be merciful and let you have your way since you're a patient."

Xi Lan stood up from the bedside, picked up a chair that was placed to the side, put it down, and sat down.

It seemed as if they didn't want to disturb Kafka's rest.

But just sitting there, she felt a little tired. After all, she had been on edge all this time and finally got a chance to rest.

Feeling tired is certainly a normal thing.

With this thought in mind, Xi Lan lay down by the bed and quietly watched the sleeping Kafka.

It's unclear what her mindset was, but she cautiously reached out her hand, just like Kafka had done before, and hooked her little finger around the person's fingertip.

It's as if doing this brings a sense of security.

But by doing so, before Kafka wakes up, Yulan can quickly withdraw her finger and act as if nothing happened.

Although she had a clever plan in mind, she had to face Kafka, who was not fully asleep.

After the little fox closed her eyes completely, this woman, full of wicked schemes, slowly opened her eyes, which held a subtle emotion.

Kafka noticed immediately the way the girl was hooking her arm around her, and her smile deepened.

So cute.

If she hadn't been pretending to be asleep, she probably would have missed Xi Lan's completely unknown appearance.

Although I really wanted to hold that person in my arms, I thought that they would get angry, and my wound, which I had finally managed to heal, was bleeding again... so it wouldn't be worth it.

The person could only turn over with slight regret, trying not to wake the other person, while their eyes quietly reflected Xi Lan's current appearance.

The little fox grew into a form she didn't recognize.

But it was still so cute that she wanted to pack the fox into a small suitcase and take it with her.

But if that's the case, Xiao Xilan won't be happy, right?

She poked Xi Lan's face, which was a bit plumper than before, with her fingertips. The feel of it was so good that Kafka subconsciously poked it a few more times.

"I don't favor anyone, little one," she hummed softly, stroking the sheets and moving her body little by little.

This brought the two of them a little closer together.

Without much hesitation, Kafka's soft lips naturally landed on Yulan's forehead, moving from her forehead, to her eyes, her nose, and finally her lips.

The kiss was so light it was like a feather, leaving Xilan no chance to notice it.

Kafka really wanted to apply lipstick and kiss Xilan's fair face little by little while she was awake.

It's cute when your hair is all puffed up, but if it gets so puffed up that it ignores you, then you're at a loss.

So he could only do it secretly, like a thief, after the little fox fell asleep.

Sweet dreams, Xilan.

May I appear in your dreams.

With a mischievous grin, Kafka whispered into Yuran's fox ears, then nuzzled them with her nose.

"Even without me... well... I'll just turn you into a trash can for Xing to rummage through, heh heh."

This person is practically blessed.

During her short half-hour nap, Xi Lan did indeed dream that she had turned into a trash can with fox ears and a tail, and was trying to escape something by using her hands and feet.

A large group of stars were chasing after her, their eyes glowing green as they followed her closely.
