Bad women are always eyeing me covetously.

But the warmth of her palms made Xi Lan feel very comfortable as her ears were being stroked.

Even its fluffy and well-maintained tail swayed comfortably and gently a few times.

Because ordinary people can't touch her ears; only people she trusts can.

As for Kafka, she lacked any sense of morality and touched him without permission, so she deserves negative marks!

He lay on Himeko's soft and warm thighs.

I still feel like I got the better deal.

Xi Lan, still quite naive about this matter, belatedly realized what was going on.

--------

While rushing outside to find the gray-haired raccoon who had played on March 7th, she naturally saw the legendary Jade Lady, whom Xi Lan relied on, on the road near the Starry Sky Train.

She was accompanied by a few company employees, who were wearing high heels and were slowly preparing to board the Starry Sky Train to pick up her little fox and take her home.

It seems that the star's gaze was too intense, or perhaps the jade was too sensitive to external gazes.

Their grey-blue and golden eyes met, yet neither of them chose to look away.

As for the jadeite, it naturally saw the shape of the star and found it extremely familiar.

The mature woman blinked, a subtle smile playing at the corners of her lips.

Ah ~

Jade remembered.

This is the little gray-haired guy who calls his little fox "wife".

Chapter 117 What is mutual affection?

The two, one large and one small, stared at each other until Emerald waved to Star, drawing her over, thus ending the strange staring contest.

"You're the little guy who's always by Xiao Xilan's side, the pioneer of the Star Train, Xing, am I right?"

She smiled, and aside from the subtle displeasure in her heart, her expression was more like that of a kind elder.

“Xiao Xilan has mentioned you to me quite often.”

“I am that child’s guardian, Emerald, the ‘guardian’ I’ve watched grow up. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

It wasn't a hallucination at all; Xing did hear Emerald emphasize the word "guardian," as if it were a declaration of her possessiveness.

This was Xing's first instinct.

But, but the other party is Xi Lan's guardian, and if you think about it carefully, the other party is her mother-in-law (?).

Thinking about it that way, Xing didn't seem to dislike the smiling guy in front of her so much anymore.

But jade doesn't think so.

She only saw the little gray hair whose eyes had brightened slightly, and it seemed to understand something, becoming much more eager to meet her gaze.

It was even too intense, making Jade feel a little uneasy.

This made the gray hair on the other person's head appear increasingly yellow, much like the kind of energetic, blond-haired girl you see everywhere on the street.

Her eyelids twitched slightly, but her smile grew even more amiable.

Regardless, looking at the gray-furred creature, Jade had a bad feeling for some reason.

Xing decisively extended her hand, like a happy little dog, to welcome Emerald.

"Hello, I'm Xing, Xi Lan's future wife! Although Xi Lan hasn't agreed yet... I'll try my best!"

The little gray-furred creature speaks words that are so clear that even a single word from the jade can be understood.

But why does it feel like she's listening to aliens telling her to change when they're put together?

The employees who were with Jade seemed to be seeing this rare expression on Jade's face for the first time.

"...Ha ha."

Jade laughed a few times, quickly adjusting her expression, but for some reason, the smile seemed increasingly forced.

"Is Xilan on the train?" She chose to skip the question more directly: "I've come to pick her up and take her home."

"ah.."

She had originally planned to show the other person the gift Xi Lan had given her.

The person in front of me doesn't seem very happy...

Completely unaware that she had mentioned a star, she finally pointed in the direction of the train and said, "She's there. I'll take you there."

Jade pursed her lips, gave a smile, and then thanked him.

"Thank you."

Let's start from the mouth of this little blond... little gray guy...

Let me take this short stretch of road and ask Xilan what has been happening around her lately.

Meanwhile, Yuu-ran, who was lying on Himeko's lap and unaware of what was happening outside the train, was squinting her eyes in a way that seemed to be enjoying herself. She showed no intention of resisting Himeko's caresses.

Himeko, on the other hand, thoroughly enjoyed being in charge.

After all, I had always been curious about what fox people's ears and tails felt like, but my relationship with Xi Lan hadn't been close enough for me to touch them before.

And now, it was only because she gave Xi Lan a gift that the other party agreed to her impolite request.

However, Himeko is quite satisfied with this.

However, happy times are always short-lived. After Xi Lan listened carefully to the sound of high heels on the ground, she thought that Xing had forgotten something and had come back.

"The little guy is here?"

The Jade Lady's voice suddenly rang out, causing Xi Lan to raise her eyes slightly and look inside the carriage, but she saw nothing and thought it was just her imagination.

Unfortunately, the increasingly familiar scent of irises made her even more excited, and even the tail behind her began to wag wildly involuntarily.

However, her actions of getting up were a step slower than her thoughts. Just as Yulan was about to get up from Himeko, her movements were still not as fast as Emerald, who had walked into the carriage.

Perhaps also looking forward to seeing Xilan, Emerald's steps were unusually quick.

"what."

As soon as Jade was brought in by Hoshino, the first thing she saw was Yuran, who was struggling to get up from Himeko's lap.

However, the first thing I noticed was that my little fox seemed to be clinging to the navigator's thigh.

It looked like he was just about to get up.

Hoshino, who brought the person over, poked her head out, and when she saw Yuran clinging to Himeko, her eyes gradually sharpened.

Did something happen when I left?

Although she had doubts, Xing wasn't someone who couldn't read the room or the atmosphere, so she simply kept the questions she wanted to ask to herself to herself.

"Ms. Emerald! You've arrived!"

Xi Lan completely ignored the gazes of those people. Her previous confused expression vanished instantly, and she revealed a rare lively expression. She used her fastest speed to get to Emerald.

Her fluffy tail kept wagging, and even at this moment, Xi Lan naturally didn't care about her image.

Xing's eyes stung a little.

She hadn't seen Xi Lan be so enthusiastic towards her before.

More than anything, it's like taking care of a child, overflowing with maternal love.

"Well, I've almost finished my work these past few days. I'm here to pick you up. Of course, it would be nice if you wanted to explore Luofu."

She nodded to Himeko behind her, which could be considered a greeting, before smiling gently at Yulan.

She stroked Xi Lan's cheek: "You've lost a bit of weight. Don't you like the food in Luofu?"

"No, no, the food in Luofu is delicious, I just don't have much of an appetite."

Xi Lan chuckled a few times, and at the same time grasped Emerald's wrist, pressing her cheek even closer to Emerald's palm.

It even rubbed against me, like a puppy waiting for its owner's praise, its tail wagging uncontrollably.

It had only been a little over a month since I last saw Ms. Jade.

Xi Lan had never felt that she missed the other person so much.

If Himeko and Hoshi hadn't been there, Yuran probably would have rushed into Emerald's arms and done something childish like rubbing against her and giving her a big hug.

In any case, Lady Emerald wouldn't refuse what she was doing.

She wanted to get even closer.

But Hoshino's sharp gaze remained fixed on them, and with the presence of Ms. Himeko behind them, Yuran had no choice but to give up.

"Xing? Didn't you go to play with March?"

Why with Ms. Jade?

It seemed that Xi Lan's confusion was about to overflow, so Emerald took the initiative to explain.

"Well, I should thank this pioneer this time; she's the one who brought me to the train to find you."

Jade's intellectual and elegant voice slowly rang out.

"There's just one thing I'm curious about, Xiao Xilan."

For some reason, seeing Ms. Jade's appearance gave her a bad feeling.

The cool fingertips caressed Xi Lan's cheek, then mischievously pinched her earlobe.

"When did you and this little pioneer fall in love..." she drawled with a smile, "...?"
