Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Within a few minutes, Xi Lan indeed found Huang Quan's room and determined how far it was from her own room.

It was so easy to find it just by turning a corner.

I casually inserted the room card into the door and successfully opened it.

"Look, we've arrived."

Xi Lan released her hand and, before Huang Quan could react, casually placed her room card in her palm.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. Well, see you again sometime."

She waved to Huang Quan, who was still somewhat dazed, before leaving her room and thoughtfully closing the door behind her.

By the time she came to her senses, the warmth that had lingered in her hands had dissipated.

Huang Quan was the only one left in the room.

"Hmm... he's such a good person."

She couldn't help but sigh like that.

"It would be even better if I could touch its tail again."

Huang Quan's gaze gradually hardened.

When we meet again next time, maybe I can ask her if I can touch her fluffy tail?

Back in her room, Xi Lan suddenly felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively rubbed her arms.

I have a feeling that I'm being watched by something strange.

"Is the temperature set too low?"

Xi Lan murmured to herself, then turned up the temperature in the room a little before nodding in satisfaction.

She then turned around and looked at the dream-entering device, which resembled a bathtub, and then glanced at the instruction manual.

"Oh, you don't have to take your clothes off."

[Unless the customer enjoys this way of being naked in front of everyone, but since there have been instances of customers causing a great commotion by appearing naked in their dreams, it is not recommended.]

...Does anyone actually dream of being completely naked?

Xi Lan stopped taking off her coat.

She was instinctively still a little unaccustomed to this thing that entered her dreams.

Sitting to one side, Xi Lan still took out her terminal and told them in their small group chat that she had arrived safely at Pinocchio.

Toppa let her have some fun for a while, and after a while she and Sand Gold would go to Pinocone to meet up with Xi Lan.

Jade was probably busy with some work and didn't send any messages in the group.

As for Sand Gold, he simply transferred credits to Xi Lan, telling her to have fun and buy whatever she wanted.

Topa, not to be outdone, sent out far more credits than Sand Gold, like children competing. After spamming the screen for a while, Xi Lan returned them one by one.

After explaining that he didn't lack credit points, he put down the terminal.

"...Where are we going?"

She murmured softly, looking at the guidebook given to new guests at the Daydream Hotel, which indicated midnight...

"The golden moment... well, let's just be casual about it... it doesn't matter where it is anyway."

As if she had made up her mind, Xi Lan sat up from the chair and walked directly into the Dream Pool.

Like lying in a bathtub, she tried to make herself less resistant to the liquid in it and lie there peacefully.

Feeling the drowsiness washing over her, she closed her eyes.

Then, consciousness gradually faded into darkness.

Unlike the feeling of a normal dream, Xi Lan felt as if her body was floating in the air, just like the feeling of falling from the sky when she was a child.

She forced herself to open her eyes, which she had closed out of fear.

Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Unlike others, Xi Lan is currently in the air during the "Golden Hour" and is falling rapidly.

The mottled and chaotic scene came into view, but Xi Lan didn't have much mind to pay attention to these things right now.

"Something's not right, is it?!"

The manual doesn't mention any instances of people falling from such heights!

Her voice was drowned out by the howling wind, and even her usually soft and docile tail stood on end.

But now I'm not concerned about whether the tail will get puffed up.

I need to figure out the safest way to land right now.

Even in a dream, Xi Lan didn't want to face the ending of falling to her death. Hmm... falling from such a height, would she turn into mincemeat?

Think of a way, think of a way... there's always a way!! Think carefully! Calm down!

"There's absolutely no way!! How can I stop this?!" Miss Fox cried out in despair as she descended at a rapid pace, in a rather unrefined manner.

She was getting closer and closer to the ground, about to land face-first. Even Xi Lan was prepared to pretend nothing had happened and quickly move away from the area.

Even though she was prepared, Xi Lan didn't feel her face rubbing against the ground. Instead, she felt a soft, unfamiliar embrace.

"Are you OK?"

A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Xi Lan, realizing that she had successfully landed, looked up somewhat blankly.

Huang Quan, whom I had met before and who got lost at the Daydream Hotel, caught her so easily in the middle of the golden moment without saying a word.

Chapter 177 Your Fox? Mine!

Seemingly noticing Xi Lan's slightly questioning gaze, Huang Quan changed his position to make the person in his arms more comfortable.

Simply put: it's a princess carry.

"I felt like I heard your voice, so I came to check it out." She explained so frankly, "Because I just entered a dream too."

While saying these words, the person's expression remained calm, not like he was faking it.

"Ah... could it be that you also fell from the sky?"

Xi Lan felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to get out of Huang Quan's arms, but due to the stimulation she had just experienced, she still felt weak in her limbs.

"No, I just appeared here normally, and I didn't fall from the sky like you." She looked down at Xi Lan, whom she was holding in her arms, and her originally blank expression was now tinged with a little doubt.

"It's more surprising that you fell from the sky in the first place."

"...I don't know either."

Xi Lan also looked bewildered, but her hands instinctively wrapped around Huang Quan's neck, bringing her body even closer to him.

Although a little embarrassed, Huang Quan still took the opportunity to secretly stroke Xi Lan's fluffy tail, which had been the object of everyone's longing for a long time.

However, the stroking was so gentle, like a breeze, that it didn't attract Xi Lan's attention.

However, their intimate behavior was quite eye-catching, even in the very open-minded Pinocchio.

What's more, Xi Lan descended from the sky and was caught directly in Huang Quan's arms... It was just like a scene from an old TV drama.

Huang Quan didn't seem to care about the way people were looking at him.

As Xi Lan felt the gazes of those around her, she began to feel a little embarrassed.

After a slight struggle, it seemed as if it wanted to break free from her embrace.

However, the feeling of being suspended in mid-air as she fell freely from the sky left her without any strength in her hands and feet, and she could only temporarily slump in Huang Quan's arms.

"I'm sorry... I've troubled you."

She spoke in a muffled voice, her ears turning a blush of embarrassment, and she lowered her head, trying to avoid the gazes of those around her.

"No, it doesn't matter."

Looking down at Xi Lan's sullen expression, Huang Quan simply blinked and said, "You're very light, so it's okay."

She seemed completely used to this situation where they were often not on the same wavelength, and leaned against her shoulder, letting out a sigh of relief: "...Thank you so much."

You can clearly smell a faint peach scent emanating from this person; how should I put it, it's quite a contrast?

I thought she smelled like a mature, sophisticated woman.

Unexpectedly, it tasted so sweet...like peach.

I don't dislike Xi Lan.

Although it's a bit impolite to sniff the other person's scent like that.

As long as the other party is unaware, just pretend nothing happened!

Hearing Xi Lan's sincere gratitude, Huang Quan lowered his eyes slightly and chuckled softly.

"Well, you're welcome."

Once she had calmed down enough, Xi Lan finally broke free from the other person's embrace. The feeling of her feet touching the ground made her feel exceptionally grounded.

However, from Huang Quan's act of putting it down, she could sense a slight reluctance.

Looking into those eyes again, Xi Lan found that Huang Quan still had that cold and unapproachable demeanor.

Or maybe it's just my imagination.

After all, this was only their second meeting; how could their relationship be that good?

We're all adults, and no matter what, we all know that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
