Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

"Let me see this bill, hmm?"

Xi Lan paused for a moment, looking at the black card that Aista had taken out. It was rare for her to be stunned for a moment, and she glanced at the black card on Aista's face and in her hand several times.

"Here you go, the debt, including interest, it's all in there. See? I'm pretty good, aren't I!"

Estella smiled proudly, then placed the card in her hand as if it were nothing to her and handed it to Yulan.

Then, the pink-haired ball of fur in front of her, who had grown into the station commander, glanced at Xi Lan's face a few times, subtly shifted her gaze, and slowly spoke: "Um, speaking of which... Xi Lan, how much do you owe again?"

"Maybe I can help you pay it off?"

-------------

Chapter 55 Why can't you always be by my side?

Do not know why.

Looking into Estella's azure eyes, which seemed to be subtly anticipating her agreement, I saw...

Xi Lan felt that if she agreed, a different, more difficult future awaited her.

Her tail swayed subtly behind her.

"Yes, I'm really tempted."

You can even lie down while hugging the rich woman's legs.

Hearing this, Estella's eyes sparkled, and she even moved closer to Yulan (not a typo), able to clearly smell the fragrance on her.

"However, I must refuse regarding this matter, Estádio."

However, what the big fox said next made Estella pause for a moment, and she even doubted whether she had heard correctly.

"Huh? Why are you refusing?"

Estelle leaned closer again, looking at her smiling childhood friend with disbelief.

"I just want to pay off my debts with my own abilities. If I rely on others, it won't make me look like a gigolo."

Although I also really like lying flat.

But I still hope to wait until the repayment is completed before I can finally relax and lie down?

Moreover, the crucial point is that if she were to be kept by a sugar daddy, Xi Lan would rather have Ms. Emerald... keep her as her sugar daddy.

Oh dear, thinking about it that way makes me a little embarrassed~

The main reason is that I feel it's a bit strange that my childhood friend brought up the matter of paying off debts.

It's better to refuse.

"You're still the same as ever... You want to do everything yourself and never let me help you."

Estella wasn't too surprised by the result.

I still feel a little regretful.

"But what you just said did startle me, Station Master Estella? I didn't expect you to have become a little rich woman." She clearly teased Estella a few times, then casually changed the subject: "Speaking of which, how did you become the station master of the Black Tower Space Station?"

Estelle answered without even thinking.

"Because I don't want to go back to inherit the family fortune; it's much better to work here than at home!"

"Still the same as before, so unwilling to inherit the family fortune?"

Xi Lan chuckled a few times, looking at Aista with her arms crossed over her chest. She recalled that when they first met, Aista had also tried to sneak away because of her family.

"Of course, things at home are quite troublesome in some ways, even more troublesome than things on the space station."

Estella supported herself on the bed with both hands, looking relieved, and turned her head slightly to look at Yulan with a happy smile.

"And being the station manager here makes it really convenient to see you~"

Xi Lan was stunned for a moment, and her heart was naturally infected by that smile. She took the initiative to reach out and hug the other person.

"Oh my, you're so much more honest than when you were little, you're so lovable." She tilted her head slightly, a smile playing on her lips, and rubbed the little girl's head: "Good girl, good girl."

"Don't treat me like a child." Although she said this, Estella obediently snuggled into Yulan's arms.

Estella, whose face was once again pressed against something soft, did not resist this time.

Although the embrace was somewhat suffocating, the sense of security it provided was genuine.

"Would you like to stay on the space station a little longer?"

Without resistance, Estella pressed her entire face against Xi Lan's chest, her voice sounding muffled.

"Hmm... I can probably stay here for a couple more days. Well, at worst, I'll just say it's a bit difficult to collect the debt."

The main issue is that the fragrance on my body hasn't dissipated yet.

I hope the smell on my body will disappear soon in the next couple of days.

This is probably why she wanted to stay for a few more days.

I'm sorry, Estelle. Although my reasons for staying were somewhat despicable, I hope you can forgive me for the sake of your friend's safety, right?

She glanced at Estella, who was lying obediently in her arms, with a rare hint of guilt, and could only silently apologize in her heart.

Even if the other party can't hear you.

After chatting about various things, Estella personally led Yuran to a lounge near her.

Xi Lan also mentioned to the female staff that she would be resting here for two days, which could be considered as giving them a holiday.

She replied with a question mark.

Xi Lan just smiled and told her that collecting debts wouldn't be easy, and she should be prepared to stay here for at least two days.

[I will always love overtime pay: Should I tell Ms. Emerald about this?]

Looking at the message on the terminal, Xi Lan finally decided to have the other party tell Ms. Emerald about it.

Otherwise, if Xi Lan doesn't return on time, she'll have to face the consequences of that lady coming to inquire in person.

Let's just forget about this.

I don't want to face that kind of Jade Lady yet.

Xi Lan's mood was somewhat complicated. After ending her conversation with Slo, she turned her attention to the space station.

And you can see those mindless dolls every few steps, staring blankly at the ground or the wall.

Wow, so many of these dolls.

Moreover, looking at the joints of those dolls, Xi Lan was quite curious about what they would feel like to the touch.

However, she dared not touch him. After all, she had heard of his name and dared not provoke him.

It's fine to just look at it from a distance.

With this thought in mind, Xi Lan quietly moved away from the location of the Black Tower doll and found a quiet place to sit and stare blankly at the scene outside.

Even if the doll moves, it has nothing to do with her.

What's puzzling is that the doll, which seemed to blink, glanced at the large fox before casually shifting its gaze.

After casually passing the time until nightfall, Xi Lan hesitated before lying down on the bed in the lounge.

Having not had a proper rest for a long time, she was really starting to feel the strain.

Lying in the unfamiliar VIP lounge, covered with blankets, Xi Lan, finally feeling a little sleepy, closed her eyes drowsily.

The next second, the doorbell rang, forcing Xi Lan to open the door while yawning and still in her pajamas.

With an embarrassed expression on her face, Estella hugged her pillow and chuckled as she walked straight into Yulan's room.

He then skillfully lay down on the double bed and patted the empty space like the owner of the room.

He gestured for Xilan to come and go to sleep.

The fox, who was so sleepy, naturally didn't notice Estelle's somewhat unnatural expression.

"My sleeping position might not be very good, um... could you be careful?"

After saying that, Xi Lan ignored Estella's expression, lifted the covers, lay on her side on the bed, hugged her childhood friend in her arms, and then fell asleep contentedly.

Estella, feeling the face wash again, struggled slightly to expose her face before hesitantly reaching out and hugging Yulan's waist in return.

We haven't seen each other for so long.

But being by her side still made Estelle feel comfortable, and she didn't even have to think about so many troubling things...

The downside is that she can't always be by his side.

Even using credits isn't possible?

'What a pity...'

She silently pondered in her heart, but the words she wanted to say could only turn into a helpless sigh.

Well, this is fine too.

With these thoughts in mind, Estella decided to go to sleep.

Xi Lan, who had just gone ahead to her dreamland, seemed to have fallen into a nightmare again this time.

She murmured someone's name softly, her brows furrowed, forcing Estelle to reopen her eyes and lean closer.

It seemed as if he wanted to hear what she was murmuring.

"...Kafka..."

Estella turned her head to look at the silver-white fox, who was now plagued by nightmares, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Why would Xilan murmur this person's name?
