Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

"No, no, something's not right. Why is Sister Xilan's face so red?"

With his keen eyes, March 7th naturally noticed Xi Lan's bright red cheeks and her somewhat strange smile.

Surely it can't really be mutual affection, right?!

Chapter 165 It's all the fault of alcohol

Upon hearing March 7's soft mutterings, Toppa snapped out of her shock, her deep gaze shifting from their clasped hands to Xilan's face.

She did see that the person's cheeks were flushed, and he even looked a little dazed.

"Ms. Jade... Sister Xilan, does she turn into a drunkard as soon as she gets alcohol on her hands?"

She lowered her voice into the earphone and told Emerald on the other end of the line her guess.

"Hmm...that child really can't handle any alcohol at all. Even if it's just a drink with a tiny bit of alcohol, she'll get drunk."

As someone who knows Xilan too well, Emerald subconsciously recalls the time when the little fox accidentally drank alcohol.

Although her coquettish manner is quite cute.

However, her lack of security, coupled with her clinginess and the fact that she looked like she could cry at any moment, still made her feel pitiful.

Jade held the little fox who had drunk too much all day long, and only after she fell asleep could she put down her slightly sore hands.

If possible, I personally hope that Xilan will avoid anything containing alcohol.

Unfortunately, I wasn't by Xiao Xilan's side, so I had to leave the rest to Xiao Yelina.

"...Ah, I remember now."

March 7th's little mind seemed to recall something, and her eyes lit up slightly: "That drink that Xing and I used to drink... it does seem to contain a bit of alcohol to warm you up..."

She scratched her head, still looking puzzled: "But it shouldn't be... drunk."

Clearly, neither March 7th nor Xing knew that Xi Lan was prone to getting drunk.

"...Now all we can do is wait for the opera to end."

Although anxious, they didn't want to cause any more commotion and draw attention to them.

After all, they had secretly followed them here...

Topa and March 7th could only stay there obediently, listening intently to the melodramatic love story of the three women's family, completely absorbed in it.

People generally enjoy watching dramatic or sensational stories.

As for Xing and Xilan... for some reason, Xing's cheeks also flushed the same color as Xilan's. She pursed her lips tightly, but dared not look at the person next to her.

Her thigh was being caressed by Xi Lan, whose slightly warm fingertips were hooking around the leg rings on her legs, while his fingertips were tracing across her skin with a hint of wicked pleasure.

This feeling of pleasure left Xing somewhat bewildered.

She likes it a lot, but she doesn't reject it either.

But isn't it a bit too stimulating to do these things in such a public setting?

Xing's mind went blank for once, and even her breathing became slightly rapid. She subconsciously bit her lower lip to prevent her breathing from leaking out.

Even if it were to be done... it shouldn't be in a place like this...

To prevent the silver fox from going any further, she inevitably grabbed her wrist.

Somewhat dizzy, Xi Lan seemed to sense Xing's resistance and could only obediently place her hands on Xing's soft legs, ceasing all further actions.

Xing felt a rare sense of torment as every second she spent was now.

The already dull and boring stage couldn't attract her anymore... all her thoughts were disturbed by this wicked fox beside her.

But... isn't something a little off about this Xilan?

The gray raccoon seemed to sense something was wrong, and couldn't help but glance at the people around it a few more times.

"Ah, please don't abandon me, Elijah! You know how much I need you... Even so, you still don't want me?"

The actors on stage, with tearful voices, called out to the person who was about to abandon them and leave.

Compared to before, Xi Lan seemed to have entered a state of inexplicable excitement, and even shed tears because of the lines in the opera.

She lowered her eyes slightly, a trace of sadness flashing in them, as if she were thinking of something sad, looking at the guy sitting next to her who knew nothing.

Didn't Hoshino leave with Kafka and the others back then?

He's also a bad guy who doesn't want her anymore.

Despite losing those memories... she even became more in need of care than herself.

She had no interest in listening to the rest of the opera; she looked like a sad fox, her head bowed, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

They're all a bunch of bad people...

Under the influence of alcohol, Xi Lan's mood worsened, especially as the purple figure kept popping into her mind.

"Xi Lan? Are you alright?"

While she was immersed in those negative emotions, Xi Lan, whose name was being called, looked up and realized that the opera had ended sometime earlier.

There were only a few people left in the venue.

There were still eyes watching them from behind.

With reddened eyes, Xi Lan looked at Xing, who was looking at her with concern, but what came to mind was Xing, the one who used to tease her when she was a child.

She pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes without her saying a word, leaving Xing at a loss.

"You're the same way...you bad guy..." Xi Lan, unusually childish, resisted Xing's advances, somewhat resistant: "I miss Lady Emerald..."

She sniffed, remembering unhappy things, and tears streamed down her face as if they were free.

Xing looked completely bewildered, clearly not understanding what had happened.

The next second, Topa, who had somehow appeared there, rushed over, knelt down, and tried to comfort Xilan.

As a result, seeing Xi Lan looking aggrieved like a child, the people present could clearly hear the drunken Miss Fox muttering something.

"Nobody wants me anymore... Waaah... Kaffa too, Hoshi... Hoshi too..."

Hearing this, March 7th paused for a moment, still feeling like he had heard something incredible. He stood there awkwardly, just as bewildered as Xing.

"Everyone else is living a good life... so why do they all seem to want to appear in front of me all of a sudden... saying they want to get close to me... sob... they're all bad people..." Xi Lan seemed to have revealed some terrible news.

This caused the people present to fall silent for a moment.

Toppa could only follow Emerald's words in the earpiece and directly carried away the drunken fox without even having time to say a few polite words.

Inside the theater, only Xing and March 7th remain, staring at each other.

Xinglu looked unhappy, lowering her head with a pitiful expression, like a dog that had done something wrong.

...In any case, because of that hot drink containing alcohol, Xi Lan left halfway through, and Xing's subsequent planned date could only be considered a failure.

However, they were still somewhat curious.

What exactly did Xilan mean when she said that Kafka and Hoshi had abandoned her?

Chapter 166 Who is part of your play?

"Bad guys, boohoo...they're all a bunch of bad guys..."

Xi Lan, who was forcibly carried away by Toppa, was so jolted that she almost vomited, and even her words were somewhat intermittent.

Having personally experienced how alcohol can really affect a person, Toppa felt a sense of novelty, but in reality, he was mostly confused.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Emerald, we might have to go home a day later, or even a few days later..."

She spoke these words to Emerald, who had been silent for a long time, through the earpiece. Then she glanced at Xilan, who was taking off her clothes on the bed, and rushed over without saying a word to put her disheveled clothes back on.

Emerald seemed to have just come to her senses when she replied, "Yes, I'll let the company know about the one-day delay. I'll trouble you to take care of Xilan for the day."

Just as Toppa, who had finally managed to pick up the clothes that someone had carelessly thrown away, was about to respond to Emerald's question, she was suddenly embraced tightly by the fox lady behind her, who had gone completely mad. The fox lady wrapped her arms tightly around Toppa's waist and Toppa was unable to break free for the time being.

With her cheek buried in Toppa's shoulder, her other hand easily lifted her shirt, caressing the soft flesh on her shoulder, as if Xilan was looking for a place to bite down.

Toppa could only suppress the sounds in his throat and try to maintain a fairly normal demeanor during the voice call.

"Wait, Sister Xilan...you...don't...!"

Ms. Jade's call isn't over yet...!

Sharp teeth pierced the skin, bringing intense pain, while a moist little tongue darted out slightly, as if licking the spot where she had been bitten.

It's like a gesture of goodwill.

This feeling was indescribable for Toppa, especially knowing that Lady Emerald was listening to what was happening on the other side.

How can I describe this feeling?

Is it a bit exciting?

Topa didn't know, but the most important thing right now was to deal with Xilan, who had started biting her all over.

The main reason is that I don't want my body to be covered with those indescribable marks yet.

Especially now that Xi Lan is under the influence of alcohol, she may not even understand what she is doing.

"Fei, Ms. Jade, I'll hang up now. Sister Xilan, she seems about to throw up..."

This is probably the first time I've ever lied to my family.

Inevitably, Toppa became a little nervous, and at the same time, he pressed down on the head that was still trying to nibble at him.
