Chapter 40 Someone can't sleep, I won't tell you who it is

Xi Lan was waiting for Feicui to come back very obediently. When it was almost past the time when children were not allowed to stay up late, the mature elder walked into her room with slightly tired steps.

"Welcome back, Ms. Emerald."

Xi Lan, who was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, forced herself to wake up after hearing the door being opened.

But it seemed that the little fox was a little sleepy and confused, but he went barefoot to greet Jade who was coming over.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

Instead, he skillfully held the little fox in his arms and carried her back to the bed.

"It's getting late. I thought you were asleep."

Those blue-gray eyes naturally saw the bracelet on the bedside table. With a smile in her eyes, she looked at Xi Lan who was lying obediently in her arms.

"Well...I wanted to wait for you to come back."

Now it can be said that if Feicui was not here, Xilan would be unable to sleep while lying in bed.

Even holding the doll doesn't seem to be of much use.

She yawned, leaned in Feicui's arms, lazily found a comfortable position, and then acted coquettishly with him for a rare moment.

Perhaps Xi Lan, who is still sober-minded, would never do this.

But Xi Lan is not in a clear mind now, so it’s normal for her to do something she wouldn’t normally do, right?

"Yeah, good boy."

Feicui had been busy all day, and after hearing Xilan's coquettish words, her mood improved a little.

I now understand why people like to raise human cubs (except for naughty children)

She stroked Xi Lan's back gently, as if she was coaxing the little fox to sleep.

If it were her old self, she wouldn't believe at all that she could coax a child to sleep like a parent.

But the facts are there.

The corners of her lips were drawn up in a helpless smile.

"Ugh...I can't sleep yet."

Xi Lan certainly didn't forget what she still wanted to ask. She rubbed her eyes and dazedly leaned on Feicui's shoulder: "I still have something to ask..."

"what happened?"

The little fox nimbly broke away from Jade's arms and handed the gift box on the desk to her.

After another uncontrollable yawn, she muttered, "I received an anonymous package today... I don't know who sent it, and I didn't open it."

He sat down next to Jadeite again, looking at her with overly curious eyes.

"Is this a gift from you?"

"Hmm... I'll have to open it and take a look to find out."

To my dear little fox.

I saw the words on the note at first glance.

This made Jade sneer in her heart.

Ah.

They are all qualified adults, how could Feicui not know who sent this gift?

How did the Star Core Hunter know her whereabouts?

He even delivered the gift box to the little guy without anyone noticing.

Jade was smiling, and it was impossible to guess what her mood was at the moment.

She opened the gift box easily, allowing Xi Lan to see exactly what was inside the gift box.

It is the exclusive earring of fox people.

And they are tassel-shaped earrings, which seem to have the style of Xianzhou.

"Is this a gift from you, Ms. Emerald?"

But Xilan's fox ears have not fully grown and are not suitable for ear piercing. However, this does not prevent her from looking curiously at the gadgets in the gift box at this time.

In addition, according to Feicui's personality, she would not let Xilan take the gifts sent by the Star Core Hunters.

He didn't even intend to let Xilan know that this gift was sent by those guys who didn't want children.

So, Jade showed the softest smile and responded.

"Of course, it's from me." As an adult who has been working in the workplace for many years, he can control the expression on his face without even thinking about it.

Then the man pretended to be annoyed and said, "But it doesn't look the same as the one I gave you. Could you please return this gift tomorrow?"

"I will give you a new gift in a few days, a better gift than this one."

Xi Lan, who was sleepy and dazed, responded naturally, and of course did not notice the emphasized tone in the second half of Ms. Feicui's sentence.

"No problem! Leave it to me, um, leave it to me! Ma'am..."

After holding on until this problem was "solved", Xi Lan could no longer resist her sleepiness and leaned completely on Feicui.

“So sleepy…”

"Then go to sleep, child."

She chuckled a few times, casually covered the gift, and then placed it somewhere else.

It seems that security needs to be strengthened.

After Feicui put the little fox, who had fallen asleep beside her, on the bed, she went to wash up.

She changed into pajamas and prepared to hug the little fox that belonged to her and fall into a sweet dream tonight.

As for those who can't sleep...

Who cares.

Jade thought with a smile.

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

Chapter 41 I was here first...

When she woke up, Xilan found that Feicui, who had been by her side, had left.

There was only her warmth left on the soft mattress.

If there were no signs of having been opened on the gift box, Xi Lan would have thought that she had had a strange dream.

The quilt was draped over Xilan's thin body, and even her previously well-groomed hair became a little messy overnight.

However, Xi Lan didn't care much about these things. After yawning and rubbing her eyes, she finally got out of the quilt.

I looked at the entry on the gift box and read it carefully.

Today's extra task is to return this [gift] to where she came from.

By the way, Xi Lan also saw that next to the words "For my dear little fox" that were originally written on the bag, Ms. Feicui had written the words: [Return, my little fox doesn't like it].

She used her little head to carefully recall everything she had seen before going to bed. To be honest, Xi Lan couldn't tell whether she liked the pair of earrings or not.

But since Ms. Jade said so, then she probably doesn't like it.

After that, I never thought about opening the gift box again.

After washing himself, the little fox, feeling much more refreshed, took out the terminal.

I plan to ask the employee where the package came from.

The answer she got was that it was delivered by a courier from the ship, and she didn't even know whether the mysterious courier was around.

If possible, she could also accompany Xilan to the nearby post stations to return the gifts in her hands.

Xi Lan hesitated for a moment, then asked Ms. Feicui about the idea of ​​going out, and then conveyed the employee's words truthfully.

In less than a minute, the other party agreed and transferred the money, allowing Xilan to go out for a walk.

Of course, the killer thing is that Feicui did not forget to ask Xilan to add what she wrote to the notes.

Another lucky female employee also got half a day off, no, it should be considered overtime.

But there is double overtime pay.

The employee who received the message closed her eyes, made an Amen gesture, and in her heart admired Ms. Jade and Xi Lan, who were like angels.

Suddenly I had the motivation to keep working in the company.

The female employee stood up promptly and left her work station with a refreshed look on her face, under the envious gazes of her colleagues.

Xi Lan, who was waiting for the staff at the hatch, stood there obediently with a polite smile on her face, and once again accepted the food fed by the kind-hearted person.

Compared to her previous resistance, Xi Lan has now learned to accept other people's kindness instead of avoiding it.

As for these snacks, she would take the time to eat them instead of wasting other people's kindness.

I have already gotten over the smell of milk on myself.

And, most importantly, Ms. Jade seems to like the taste of milk.

When she was applying the essential oil for nourishing her tail, Xilan felt light-headed when she naturally heard Feicui's compliment.

"... Really good..."

Although my head was so confused at that time that I couldn't hear what Ms. Emerald was saying.

But it should be a compliment to the smell of the essential oil, right?

However, Xi Lan did not take the initiative to ask about this matter, and finally assumed that the person liked the smell of essential oils.

If Ms. Emerald likes it...

Xi Lan also decided to try to like him.

When she started to have wild thoughts in her mind, the female employee had already walked hurriedly to Xilan's side.

"Good morning, Sister Slo."

After greeting the other party sensibly and obediently, Xi Lan then walked with her short legs and followed the employee.

When walking out of the ship, Xi Lan was still somewhat shocked by the spectacular scene outside.

It turns out that it is better to experience it in person than to see it through the glass.

But even so, Xi Lan still suppressed her curiosity.

Then she held the employee's finger and subconsciously hid behind the man, carefully looking at this planet that was too unknown to her.

The technology here seemed to be fully loaded, with things she had never seen before everywhere.

It really shocked the little fox.

It was rare for her to feel like a country girl coming to the city, and she could be said to have experienced the shock that Ye Lina had felt when she saw them.

She was also somewhat thankful that the female employee was by her side, otherwise the little fox would have been confused for a long time on her own.

Feeling the employee's fingers being held slightly tighter, Xi Lan, who looked a little nervous but still followed her, once again silently thanked Ms. Feicui in her heart.

If it weren't for the opportunity given by the other party, she would never have been able to see such a cute little fox.

There's even a double bonus.

Ah, Ms. Emerald, you are my god.

The employee, whose face still showed no expression, took a deep breath, then safely took Xi Lan's gift box to the Interstellar Express Station.
