But fate always likes to play tricks on people. Just as Xing stood up and returned to Xilan's room, he heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

As for Xi Lan, who had better hearing, she immediately became much more energetic, and even the ears on her head stood up.

With the sound of the door being unlocked, only thirty seconds passed.

When Kafka and the others entered the house, they saw Xing, who had a confused look on her face, and the little fox, who looked much happier.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

The purple-haired woman smiled gently, took off her high-heeled boots, changed into slippers, then walked over and held the little fox in Xing's arms in her arms.

"Xing said you guys would be back today, so I wanted to wait for you guys to come back...By the way, where's Sister Liuying?"

As if she noticed that Kafka looked a little tired, Xi Lan hugged her neck considerately, moved closer, and kissed the woman's cheek.

Those eyes were clearly smiling, but for some reason, Xing always felt a cool breeze blowing towards him.

When I turned around, I found that Ren had walked in at some point, turned on the air conditioner skillfully, and sat on the sofa with his eyes closed.

.....

Kafka probably wouldn't care so much, right?

Xing thought so, and then turned up the temperature of the air conditioner a little bit.

Chapter 3: The Silver Wolf appears, get out of the way!

The overly familiar fragrance rushed into Xi Lan's nose, giving her a rare sense of security.

It’s not that Xing is insecure...but every time when she is with her, Xi Lan feels like one of those pets on the Internet whose fur is sucked by their owners.

A bit too enthusiastic...

At this moment, she was lying on Kafka's bed, feeling Kafka's body temperature and heartbeat, and all the unpleasantness from the nightmare before suddenly dissipated a lot.

Xi Lan, who was embraced in the other person's arms, moved closer again, found a more comfortable position, and pressed her body tightly against that person.

The coat he was wearing was changed into a black gauze pajamas, and there was a faint fragrance on his body.

She loves it.

"Hmm? Aren't you sleepy yet, Xiao Xilan? Could it be that little Xing gave you coffee or something?"

A gentle voice sounded slowly, and the pair of eyes like pink roses were looking at the little fox moving in his arms with a smile.

She shook her head. Xing didn't dare to give her coffee or something like that. Although she didn't have much common sense in life, she knew very well that drinking coffee at night would make it difficult to fall asleep.

"It's just that I haven't seen you for a long time, Kafka, I miss you so much..."

The child didn't understand any roundabout words, she just told Kafka whatever she wanted to say.

The purple-haired woman was squinting her eyes in pleasure at this moment, and seemed to be very satisfied with Xi Lan's answer.

"Good boy."

The sound of the sheets rubbing against the skin rang in her ears. When Xi Lan came to her senses, Kafka had already left a goodnight kiss on the child's forehead as a reward.

Then Kafka gently patted Xi Lan's back with her palm: "I'm very happy to hear you say that."

"But it's getting late, little one. It's time to go to bed."

She coaxed softly, and her gentle voice seemed to have a hypnotic effect, and soon made Xi Lan drowsy.

The slender and flexible fingers played with the silver-white hair mixed with a little crimson. If you lower your head slightly, you can see the child's sleeping face.

After all, he is still a child. He falls asleep as soon as he is coaxed a little.

As Kafka thought so, the lullaby in her mouth slowly stopped and she yawned softly.

The fatigue from working on the task for a long time had already surged up when she came back. Even the cleaning and coaxing of the child just now were done by Kafka who forced herself to be alert.

Now the child has fallen asleep, and it is almost time for her to rest.

If Xing Neng was more reliable, she wouldn't have to come to Kafka to take care of the child.

Subconsciously, my mind recalled the scene when I found Xing secretly running to Xilan's bed, curled up and snatched the child's quilt, and slept soundly.

When Xilan woke up the next day, she had a slight cold.

From then on, Kafka did not let Xing sleep in the same bed with Xi Lan again.

Thinking about something, she stopped stroking the child's back when she saw him sleeping.

Kafka obviously didn't keep a distance from the little guy in her arms. On the contrary, she liked the furry little guy in the quilt very much.

The big and the small kept hugging each other, and at midnight, they gradually fell asleep.

But before falling asleep, Kafka remembered that Elio seemed to want to tell her something.

But seeing that she didn't seem to be in a hurry, Kafka decided to postpone the matter for a while, at least to let her have a good rest for the night.

With this thought in mind, Kafka tightened her arms around Xilan and closed her eyes. In less than a few minutes, she fell asleep.

A dreamless night.

When Xi Lan opened her eyes again, Kafka, who had taken off her makeup, was still catching up on her sleep on the other side of her.

There was a knock at the door.

Seeing her purple-haired adoptive mother's slightly frowned brows, Xi Lan very considerately broke away from her arms.

Of course, although her movements were a bit immature, Xi Lan still managed to (think she) get out of bed successfully.

Then he tiptoed to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door opened, I saw Xing looking a little curious, and his golden eyes were even looking into the room.

"Hey, Xiao Xilan, where's Kafka? It's almost eleven o'clock in the morning, why haven't you gotten up yet? Uncle Ren has already prepared dinner, right?"

Xi Lan pointed back at Kafka who was still sleeping, and made a small gesture to keep quiet, with a serious expression on her face.

Xing pretended to understand: "You are still resting. It seems that you are tired from the last mission. Forget it, let Kafka have a good rest. Come on, I will take you to wash up today."

Xi Lan, who had no time to react, was held in the man's arms.

By the time she came to her senses, the door of Kafka's room had been closed.

She was taken to the bathroom, and when she passed the living room, she could see the adult man sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal to start.

Well, it looks like I did get up a little late today.

"Where's Sister Liuying?"

Holding a toothbrush in her mouth, Xi Lan asked vaguely where the other sister who was so kind to her had gone.

"Liu Ying, she's probably dealing with other things. She'll probably be back soon. If you really miss her, would you like to use my terminal to send her a message?"

The kind-hearted Xing still did not let Xi Lan know Liuying's current physical condition.

Xi Lan, whose face was covered with a towel by Xing, hummed a little and agreed.

"Oh, by the way, did I tell you before that there's going to be a new member in our family?"

Xing pretended to say this unintentionally, but looked at Xilan's expression cautiously.

The little fox tilted his head in confusion, with doubt in his eyes almost overflowing.

"You didn't say, what new member?"

She wagged her tail nervously, her eyes constantly darting around Xing's face.

Xing checked the time again and scratched his gray hair.

"He's a good person, but he's not very good at playing games... You'll know when we meet later." She controlled her hands and did not mess up the little guy's freshly combed hair.

Hearing this, the little guy inevitably became a little nervous. Facing the upcoming arrival of his "family", Xi Lan was a little overwhelmed.

If you calculate the time, it’s about time, right?

Otherwise, Xing would not have disturbed Kafka who was sleeping.

"Let's go, don't think too much. I ordered a lot of food today."

Xing took the slightly dazed little guy out of the bathroom.

When I came back to the living room, a little uninvited guest was lying lazily on the sofa.

The girl with a grey single spiral ponytail, chewing gum in her mouth, crossed her legs without any courtesy, and held a game console in her hand. She glanced at the little fox hiding behind the star, her eyes slightly shining.

But I still pretended not to care and greeted them.

"Hey, do you want to rub it with me?"

Chapter 4: Silver Wolf and Little Fox Want to Make Friends

When Silver Wolf first received the recruitment request from the Star Core Hunters, he thought that their headquarters should be a high-tech ship or something.

In the end, Kafka just smiled and gave her a sum of money, the address of a residence somewhere on a remote planet, and the novice assessment to join the Galaxy Hunters.

After completing the mission, the man named Blade left for unknown reasons, leaving Silver Wolf alone to figure out how to travel to this remote planet.

It looks like just an ordinary family's address.

It’s not a difficult thing for Silver Wolf.

But when I first came in, the scene of this harmonious family was indeed a bit confusing.

Especially the black cat, lying on the cat climbing frame, when it saw her come in, it just glanced at her lazily, and then turned its gaze back.

If the man named Blade hadn't opened the door for her, Silver Wolf would now be wondering if she had come to the wrong place.

Forget it, the novice assessment is completed anyway, and now all Silver Wolf has to do is sit on the soft sofa and have a good rest.

What was unexpected was that the man named Ren took out a pair of light gray slippers with a wolf pattern from the shoe cabinet with an expressionless face, raised his chin slightly, and asked her to put them on.

“It’s tiring to clean the house.”

As if he had noticed Silver Wolf's puzzled gaze, Blade, who didn't want to say anything, still explained himself.

"Change, Kafka is still resting. Don't talk about the mission for a while. Just treat this place as a 'home' to rest."

This is probably the longest speech that Ren has said in recent times.

Silver Wolf curled his lips, then thought that it would not be nice to wear shoes into someone else's house, so he obediently changed into the cute-looking slippers.

What kind of aesthetic taste do people have who choose this kind of slippers? It's not as good as mine.

She muttered to herself, and then sat down on the sofa without any courtesy.

It would be very comfortable to sleep on the sofa if you put some cute pillows there.

Feeling the softness of the sofa, I can't help but sigh that rich people just have comfort. It would be even better if I had a few new game consoles that I saw on sale while on the road.

She took out the bubble gum she had bought from her pocket and put it in her mouth and chewed it. With her other hand, she took out the game console that had been with her for a long time. Just when she was about to play a few games to kill time, Silver Wolf heard the sound of communication coming from the closed door.

But she didn't care that much. She just glanced at it and then turned her attention back to the game that was about to start in thirty seconds.

When the door was pushed open, Silver Wolf took another look and froze in his tracks.

Although I have seen fox children from the immortal boats before.

Some are innocent little brats, and some are unwilling to talk to people...

But this was the first time she had seen something so attractive.

Seeing this, I forgot that I had already started the game on the console in my hand, and even played a rare level that only appeared after several days of playing.
