Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

Chapter Eighty-Six: Your mouth! You have no martial ethics!

"No! No! Sister Xilan! Don't confiscate my comics!"

On March 7th, looking completely aggrieved, she hugged Xi Lan's waist, trying to win Xi Lan back with her coquettish manner.

"Tell me, what did you show Xing? I won't confiscate it, okay?"

Xi Lan spoke with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

Miss Fox, who had lost her first kiss last night, watched as March 7 carefully handed her her treasured comic book.

"I... I just said I could read any comics I wanted... but I didn't expect Xing to read this kind of thing..." March 7th sounded a little guilty, but she really did buy these comics out of curiosity! She only glanced at the covers before shoving them back!

Who knew Xing would see it!

"There won't be a next time. From now on, hide these kinds of comics well so Xing doesn't see them, understand?" Faced with Xiao Sanyue's little hobby, Xi Lan simply handed back the comic with the two beautiful girls on the cover pasted together.

In the end, he couldn't bring himself to confiscate her comics.

"But absolutely do not let Xing continue watching, what if she learns something strange later..."

March 7th nodded frantically, indicating that he understood.

Xi Lan rubbed her arms, feeling a little uneasy. The brief kiss from yesterday had kept her up all night.

She was terrified that if she closed her eyes, Xing, who could learn anything he saw, would sneak up on her in the middle of the night and attack her.

That night, Xing was very well-behaved; at most, he just held her a little tighter in his arms, making it a little hard for her to breathe.

But what about the night after that?

Who can guarantee that this guy won't do something weird to her in the middle of the night!

My first kiss is gone!!

For a pure-hearted fox girl, it's only natural to think that her first kiss should be reserved for someone she likes.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that my favorite character is actually Lady Emerald...?

The disobedient tail wagged, surprisingly harboring a subtle sense of anticipation for this situation.

This is bad, this is bad, this is really bad.

"Sister Xilan? Shall we go and deal with these comic books first?"

March 7 blinked, looking at Xi Lan who seemed a little lost in thought, and cautiously began to speak.

"Well, let's go."

Xi Lan finally snapped out of her daze, looked into San Yueqi's eyes, and finally agreed.

"But where are you going to put these books?" she asked casually. "You can't be thinking of putting them in Danheng's room, can you?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Lan saw the somewhat stiff expression on March 7's face and knew without guessing that she was right.

"...Never mind, whatever makes you happy."

Although she is also young, it's best not to ask too many questions about these delicate situations between young people.

As Xi Lan passed by the guest room area, she witnessed a certain gradient-colored dumpling carrying a large pile of comic books rushing into Dan Heng's room.

She didn't really want to know what happened after that, and even felt sorry for Danheng's library.

Sitting on the sofa, Xi Lan leaned lazily against the soft cushions behind her. Just thinking about the comic she had just seen made her head ache.

After that, lock the door from the inside.

"It's so good to be young, isn't it?"

Himeko appeared beside her at some point and sat down next to Yuran, a spot where she could clearly hear San Yueqi's pleading voice.

"Of course, Ms. Himeko is also very young." Mutual compliments are common practice.

Xi Lan's lips curled up slightly, at least she didn't show that tired look in front of the other person.

But isn't the distance a little... a little too close now?

She subconsciously sniffed, and her excellent sense of smell allowed Xi Lan to detect the aroma of hand-ground coffee emanating from the red-haired beauty.

The problem is that the coffee they brewed was really undrinkable.

"Hehe, Miss Yulan's words are as delightful as ever." Himeko smiled. "Why don't you go for a stroll around Belleburg with the children?"

"...It's still too cold. Even though I'm wearing enough warm clothes, walking is still really difficult for me." Xi Lan scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly. "If I could, I would like to stay in a warm place a little longer."

Even though they are fox people, they are still afraid of the cold!

The urge to go outside and play in the snow was ultimately suppressed by the fear of the cold.

Throughout, Himeko only looked at Yuran with that warm smile.

Well... it's good to stay on the train a little longer, isn't it?

"Miss Himeko?"

"Ok?"

"Where will your next jump take you?" Xi Lan was curious about this. She wondered if she could withstand a planet that was completely opposite to this one.

For her, sometimes the heat is more unbearable than the cold winter.

"Nobody knows about this except Pam."

Himeko extended her slender finger to her lips, made a shushing gesture, and then slowly moved closer to Yuran, deliberately lowering her voice.

"To add a touch of surprise to the next leap, Pam will hold a pre-leap meeting before leaving Yalilo."

The two seemed to be close friends having a private conversation, and the distance between them immediately shortened considerably.

The warm breath brushed against her ear, causing Xilan to instinctively shrink back, and then silently maintain a proper distance from Himeko.

"Although I really want to tell you, but... wouldn't it be better to leave it as a mystery?"

She smiled easily, seemingly unconcerned that Xi Lan had distanced herself from her.

"Haha... Miss Himeko, you're right." Her gaze shifted subtly elsewhere.

They just wouldn't look at the other person.

Although I don't quite understand why the other person would suddenly come up to me, I still have to maintain the facade of friendship.

Getting along with a mature, gentle, and intellectual woman like Himeko is indeed a very difficult thing for Yuran.

When encountering such a character during business dealings or debt collection, Xi Lan usually raises her vigilance to the highest level, because she might easily be outmaneuvered.

But... why would a character like Himeko be so keen on getting closer to herself?

Xi Lan didn't quite understand.

“You don’t look like you’ve had a good rest, Miss Yulan.”

Himeko's sudden voice startled Yuran.

"Ah, it's just that I'm not used to sleeping in this kind of bed, it's alright, Miss Himeko." As soon as she finished speaking, Yuran couldn't help but yawn.

Realizing that its words were somewhat untenable, the silver-white fox simply gave an awkward laugh.

"It's really okay."

She smiled without saying a word.

Last night, she naturally saw Xing and March 7th carrying pillows and blankets, pretending to be aggrieved as they crawled into Xi Lan's room.

Knowing just how mischievous these two little ones are, Himeko could naturally guess that Yuran hadn't slept well last night.

"Then...would you like to rest in my room for a while? I have some calming incense that will help you get a good night's sleep."

Himeko gently brushed aside a strand of her long, fiery red hair that fell beside her ear. Then she spoke softly.

Her tone was just like that of a caring older sister next door, showing her such concern.

But those golden eyes held an unfathomable smile.

Or perhaps, here?

With a smile on her face, Himeko calmly pointed to her thigh under Yuu's increasingly panicked gaze.

As a navigator, it's only natural to pay more attention to visiting guests, right?

Chapter 87 Old ginger is spicier

Xi Lan stuttered a little, which was uncommon for her.

"Well, I'll just go back and get some rest. There's no need to trouble Miss Himeko."

Her ears and tail twitched visibly, indicating that she had become quite flustered.

Even when leaving, the fox was so flustered that it almost tripped over its own feet, giving Himeko a demonstration of what it means to fall flat on your face.

The sound of hurried high heels on the ground gradually faded away, and Himeko then slightly withdrew her gaze, a slightly helpless smile appearing on her face.

"It seems like you scared her a little?"

It is true that there was calming incense in her room.

Next time, how about using a simpler, more understandable way to build a good relationship with that fox lady?

Himeko sat calmly in the chair, enjoying the rare tranquility of the empty carriage.

Xi Lan, who hurriedly returned to her room, pinched her cheeks with both hands and took a few deep breaths before she fully came to her senses.

Should I ask Ms. Himeko to give me a lap pillow?
