Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

After feeding the black cat, he, the only man present who didn't talk much, quickly returned to his room wearing the dark blue plush slippers that Xi Lan had prepared for him.

Being able to spare so much time to spend with the children is already the best Ren can do.

After all, the influence of the demonic spirit still exists on him.

As the door closed, Xi Lan, who had somehow ended up in Xing's arms, was also unsure of what to do that day.

I thought I could finally spend some quality time with my 'family' today, being able to cuddle with Kafka and enjoy some time together.

But this little uninvited guest still disrupted the little guy's plans.

She could only sit in Xing's lap now, watching Kafka and Silver Wolf whispering something interesting.

For some reason, seeing Kafka so focused on Silver Wolf made Yulan feel a little sour.

Children don't know what this emotion is called.

He simply silently processed these uncomfortable feelings.

From Xing's perspective, she could naturally sense the child in her arms hiding unpleasant emotions.

It's obvious why.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you back to your room to play games?"

She had noticed Kafka's gaze occasionally falling on Xilan, and that she was deliberately talking so intimately with the silver wolf, probably to tease the child.

What awful adults!

Xing thought silently, then lowered her head to look at the little guy whose ears were drooping slightly.

She's not like Kafka.

Xing still preferred to see the little fox bullied to the point of being speechless and on the verge of tears.

Sigh, thinking about it this way, I guess I'm pretty awful too.

The gray dumpling chuckled to itself, preparing to take the person back to their room and pamper them to its heart's content.

Since Kafka couldn't seize this opportunity, then don't blame me for beating her!

You know, the feel of hugging a fluffy creature is absolutely wonderful! Especially during an afternoon nap, basking in the sun, with its fluffy tail gently tugging at your leg...

It's so addictive!

Xing appeared indifferent on the surface, but in reality, she had already prepared herself to occupy Xi Lan for an entire day.

"Hey, wait a minute, I haven't introduced myself to that little guy yet."

Silver Wolf saw Xing preparing to take Xi Lan back to her room, scratched his cheek, and quickly came to Xi Lan's side.

Somewhat anxiously, he rummaged through his pockets and managed to find a piece of fruit candy.

"My name is Silver Wolf. Um, I just asked your parents. After dinner, it's dessert time, so you can have candy, right?"

She handed over the candy with a little embarrassment, muttering softly, "I want to be friends with you. You can ask me about things related to the game."

Silver Wolf, who was getting more and more confused about what to say, had her fair face flushed red by the time she finished speaking.

What on earth was she saying to a little kid? It was so shameful!

It must be because Kafka tempted me too much just now! She used the excuse of how nice that fluffy tail felt to seduce me!

As for Xi Lan, the little fox, she blinked blankly, seemingly not expecting that the other party, who was originally chatting with Kafka, would target her.

Although she didn't know what had happened, it seemed like this person wanted to be friends with her.

friend.

Does she have friends besides her family?

Xi Lan had seen the word "friend" in storybooks and envied the friends that the protagonists in fairy tales had.

However, this development still left her somewhat bewildered.

It was rare for them to focus their attention on Kaffa, as if seeking her help.

Kafka simply smiled and made no comment, as if encouraging Yuran to make her own choice.

The wait was rather long, and Silver Wolf was prepared to be rejected; he was even about to withdraw his hand.

Just as she made a move to pull back, Xi Lan had Xing put her down from her arms.

Taking small, hesitant steps, she took the fruit candy from the silver wolf's hand and returned to her room, where she seemed to be doing something.

Does this mean I wasn't rejected?

Silver Wolf swallowed hard, already pondering when he could finally touch her tail, when Xi Lan, the little fox, hurriedly came out of the room again.

She carefully placed the white, round fox doll in the silver wolf's hand.

Before she could say anything more, Xi Lan hid behind Xing again, revealing her light purple eyes as she blinked at the silver wolf.

And that perfectly maintained tail was swaying slightly, clearly looking very happy.

He looked as if he was expecting something.

...

Silver Wolf decides to keep this secret about the child's quirks—something he's never been interested in—for the rest of his life, and never tell anyone.

Even though she is now a wanted criminal.

Chapter Six: Who is the Bad Kid?

Although I don't know why, it seems that my relationship with Silver Wolf has improved quite a bit.

Held in her arms, watching her play games, Xi Lan had a fruit-flavored hard candy in her mouth, the sweetness making her squint her eyes.

As for Xing's disappointed look.

Although Xi Lan didn't quite understand why, she thought that if she coaxed her a little, she would probably be happier.

Meanwhile, Kafka was trying to appease the resentful Hoshino with her words, but her gaze never left Silver Wolf and Yulan.

Who wouldn't love a cute little guy?

Even Kafka was no exception.

Even though one of them was her future colleague, it didn't stop Kafka from thinking that the other person was cute because of his small size.

Of course, this was just a thought; he would never say such a thing in front of Silver Wolf.

But isn't this future colleague, Silver Wolf, spending a little too much time with his own child?

As evening approached, Kafka, who was preparing to take the little one to bed, couldn't resist pulling Silver Wolf back as she followed Yulan into the room with an air of self-awareness.

"Your room is next door, this is Xilan's room."

Xing stood to the side, arms crossed, and nodded earnestly.

"Hmm? But Xiao Xilan agreed to let me sleep in the same bed with her?" Silver Wolf tilted his head in confusion, looking at the little fox's guardian: "You can ask her if you don't believe me."

She pointed with her thumb to Xi Lan, who was standing by the door, looking at them with a somewhat blank expression.

Although I know that Xilan lacks friends, isn't it a little too fast for her to let her guard down against Yinlang?

Although Xing was a little unhappy, she could only swallow it down and pretend that nothing was wrong.

But she still casually asked, "Are you sleeping with Silver Wolf tonight?"

To everyone's surprise, the little guy nodded with shining eyes, looking even happier than when he was with me.

Woo.

Xing had nothing to say and could only leave the stage in a dim manner.

Seeing Yuuran so happy, Kafka silently let go of Ginrou's shoulder.

"Don't teach children strange things, understand?" She smiled and patted Silver Wolf on the shoulder. "And don't let children stay up late either."

Although the woman was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes at all!

"I know, I know, I won't lead the kids astray."

Silver Wolf waved casually, took Xi Lan's hand, and walked into the child's room more decisively.

That's all for now, goodnight everyone.

As he closed the door, Silver Wolf smiled and raised an eyebrow at Xing before finally shutting the door completely.

Only Kafka and Hoshi remained standing in place.

"Did this guy just smile at me?"

Xing was a little unsure and asked Kafka.

"Hmm, he probably laughed?"

Kafka responded, then grabbed Hoshino, who was about to teach someone a lesson, before she could react.

"Alright, alright, isn't it a happy thing for kids to make friends?"

I didn't see how happy you were.

Xing muttered to himself, but ultimately didn't dare to say it aloud in front of Kafka.

After a moment of silence, the two finally returned to their respective rooms to rest.

Meanwhile, Silver Wolf and Xi Lan inside the house were talking about what was happening outside.

The little fox basically asked all sorts of random questions, while the silver wolf picked out a few that he could answer.

Even so, it made Xilan somewhat curious about the outside world.

Xing could occasionally sneak her out for a stroll, but the others basically wouldn't take her out.

"Haa..."
