Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

'Catch her! The next free 10-pull is ours!!! Don't get the wrong pity pull!!!'

What the heck is this 10-pull?! ...

Just before she was about to be caught, Xi Lan quickly opened her bloodshot eyes and sat up abruptly.

But then she discovered that she had somehow gotten covered with Kafka's favorite coat.

Kafka, who was lying on the bed, had disappeared without a trace.

Now, once again, only Xi Lan was left inside the house.

-----------

I'm taking a day off because of an unexplained feeling of tightness and pain in my chest.

Actually, I still have some difficulty controlling my emotions. When my chest hurts, I feel like crying. I don't know exactly what's wrong with me.

If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to update three times tomorrow.

That's all for now, I'm going to rest.

I'm so sorry I didn't update today.

Chapter 152 What are the things adults love to do?

Where did that guy go?

She left again?!

Xi Lan sat up abruptly. The coat that Kafka had covered her with had fallen to the ground, but she didn't bother to pick it up.

What's more, that guy's wounds hadn't even healed yet, and he just left like that?

And then, once again, without saying a word, without even a greeting, he just packed his bags and left?

Just as Xi Lan was about to stand up, her expression unusually calm, intending to explore whether this guy had left anything behind, the woman with loose purple hair walked in carrying a freshly heated meal.

"You're awake? Do you want to lie in bed and rest a little longer?"

Seemingly noticing the slightly surprised look on the man's face, Kafka chuckled softly, "You thought I was gone?"

She casually placed the plate on the table, smiled and squinted her eyes, looking like she was in a very good mood.

"Can't bear to leave me?"

Having been preempted from speaking, Xi Lan couldn't utter a word she wanted to say, and instead, her face turned bright red.

"Who, who asked you! I didn't! I was just worried about your wound!"

Oh no, if Kafka had woken up first, wouldn't she have already noticed her little actions before she fell asleep?

Thinking of this, Xi Lan began to wag her tail impatiently, pretending to be completely indifferent, and picked up the coat that had fallen to the ground.

"If you're alright now, I'll head back."

Just kidding! Who cares about you?! I don't care about you at all!!

That's what I really thought.

But Xi Lan swallowed all those words back. It wasn't because she was afraid of this person, it wasn't.

"Ah, don't rush to leave. Your terminal beeped a few times and then went silent. Someone must have sent you a message, right? Check the message first."

Kafka sat calmly in the chair, enjoying her food with remarkable composure.

Those eyes occasionally fell on Xi Lan, who was fumbling for the terminal in her pocket, with a slight smile in them.

In her flustered state, Xi Lan had no time to deal with Kafka and quickly took out her terminal to see who had sent her the message.

The first person I saw was Little Yelena. To save time, I sent her a long voice message.

His words were full of concern for Xi Lan, and he mentioned that he might not be able to come back to rest for the next couple of days because of work.

Xi Lan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

It doesn't seem like that Jade Lady sent her any message.

Kafka's mood clearly improved considerably after naturally taking in the expression on someone's face.

If Xi Lan knew about this, she would probably laugh at her for being jealous of that Jade Lady over this matter.

Kafka blinked subtly, but then acted as if nothing had happened, continuing to enjoy her food.

Next to reply to the message were Xing and the two kids from March 7th. They were both disappointed that she couldn't keep their appointment and were going out to play together under a one-sided agreement made by a certain Galaxy Baseball Man.

As a parent who spoils their child (?), Xi Lan was slightly helpless, but she still agreed.

The gentle smile on her face was, of course, noticed by Kafka, who was secretly observing her.

Wow, so you can show such a happy smile to other people.

He always acts so awkward and timid in front of me...

While this look is certainly cute, from a personal perspective, Kafka still hopes that Yuuran can show more different expressions in front of her.

After Xilan finished replying to the messages, she looked up and saw only Kafka's gentle smiling face.

"What are you laughing at...?"

"I was just wondering if you could stay with me a little longer." She smiled slightly. "After all, if I sneak away, wouldn't the little guy be heartbroken?"

"Who's reluctant to part with me!" After instinctively spouting a few defiant words, he belatedly realized, upon seeing the person's smiling eyes, that the other person hadn't mentioned his name at all.

She fell into the trap!

I knew this guy wasn't a good person!

Especially after hearing Xi Lan's words, the smile on this person's face seemed to become even happier than before.

What are you so happy about?

Xi Lan twitched the corners of her mouth, but then sensed something from the words just spoken and quickly looked at Kafka.

"You're trying to run away before your injuries have even healed?"

The person calmly pulled out a tissue to wipe the corner of their mouth, and smiled innocently in the face of Xi Lan's angry glare.

"I didn't say that! I just think if I get too bored, I might go wander around somewhere else."

Given Kaffa's personality, this person might actually do it.

Isn't this a way to get the other party to stay?

Although it's somewhat... well, lacking in martial ethics, and even a bit too unreasonable for Xi Lan, it's very useful.

Seeing her frustrated little face made her hands itch, and she wanted to pinch Xi Lan's puffed-up cheeks.

Although we had already secretly kissed before.

"You just stay put, I'll stay with you, okay?"

Under the gaze of those eyes, Xi Lan glanced at Kafka again, and finally agreed.

"So thoughtful, little one." Kafka chuckled and praised Xilan, "Would you be this concerned about Xing too?"

"Of course, I do care about her, and you know why." Xi Lan retorted without any politeness, her lips twitching in a rather unfriendly manner.

Kafka certainly knew the reason.

It probably thought it had abandoned the star as well, and also erased people's memories, leaving it carelessly on the space station.

'Kafka is Mom's favorite, while Yulan is my wife's favorite!'

'I want them all!'

As if recalling something 'interesting,' Kafka's smile faltered, and the expression on Hoshi's face when he said those words came to mind.

Before, when Xing had memories, she didn't seem to show the same fervent feelings for Xi Lan.

Or perhaps, she missed something?

In any case, at least Kafka wasn't too opposed to Hoshi's joining; in fact, she thought the child might be able to help her later.

Isn't this a good thing?

But wanting it all is a bit greedy, Star.

Looking at Kafka, who seemed to be thinking about something, Xilan lay on the bed, not really wanting to pay attention to her.

I couldn't be bothered to respond to anything she said.

She casually took off her coat and threw it on the bed, letting her tail come out and catch its breath, swaying lazily.

Wait, does the tail need to catch its breath?

Never mind, tails have human rights too! They need to breathe too!

Kafka chuckled a few times, looking at the little fox who seemed to be letting loose in front of her, and then stood up and walked easily to the bedside.

Accompanied by the rustling of clothes and sheets, Xi Lan's ears inevitably perked up nervously, listening intently to the sound of the person approaching.

This tension was naturally noticed by Kafka, whose lips curled up slightly, and the smile in her eyes deepened.

Although she didn't intend to do anything, the thought of teasing the little fox inevitably peeked out from Kafka's mind.

The soft body simply pressed quietly against Xi Lan, yet mischievously teased the little fox's legs with its own feet.

Xi Lan wanted to get rid of the other person.

However, under Kaffa's guidance, their legs became intertwined and inseparable.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, allowing Xi Lan to clearly smell the dangerous rose scent emanating from her.

Xi Lan was about to say something to get the guy off her.

As a result, this person clung to her like a clingy child, refusing to get off, even resting his face on Xi Lan's shoulder and easily wrapping his hands around her waist, refusing to let go.
