Afternoon tea was placed on the table. Except for Feicui who was sitting on a chair waiting for the juniors, Xilan and Topa looked at each other and then quickly shifted their gaze, both looking a little guilty.

...it was as if they were caught having an affair and they felt a bit guilty.

Sitting next to Xi Lan, Topa felt the furry tail circling around her and patting her back soothingly.

It seemed that he didn't care about what happened just now at all, and was even generous enough to comfort himself.

For some reason, this thought came into Topa's mind.

...the last bit of guilt was gone.

Seems pretty good... isn't it?

--------

Chapter 138: Who do you want to accompany?

Feicui naturally noticed every move of the two little guys and chuckled indifferently, especially little Xilan who looked very nervous.

Weirdly cute.

So the considerate Jade pretended as if she saw nothing and sipped the red tea in her hand, looking relaxed in a rare way.

Really, even if she caught me maintaining my tail, I wouldn't be scared like this, right?

Or was it that the expression on his face was strange when he came in just now?

Feicui touched her cheek with her free hand, looked at the two absent-minded people, and said in a gentle voice: "The piggy bank on your leg is about to steal your afternoon tea, little Yelina."

"Wow! Sorry Ms. Emerald, I'll go get it something to eat, it'll be ready in a minute!"

Toppa picked up the baby in a panic, looking a little unhappy and grunting.

Under the somewhat helpless gazes of Feicui and Xilan, Topa found some of the piggy bank's favorite snacks in the cabinet in the room.

Then he filled the makeshift snack bowl with his favorite cookies and watched him eat with a bit of doting.

I was so focused on myself that I forgot about the accounts.

This guilty feeling made Topa feed Zhang Zhang a little more snacks than usual.

When Topa returned to the chair next to Xi Lan, he seemed to be much more relaxed than before.

This time, the afternoon tea time was exceptionally quiet. Apart from Feicui occasionally asking Topa about certain things, and Xilan's responses, the latter basically did not participate in the conversation.

After all, most of the chats were about work, especially the things between the ten people in Shixin...

Xi Lan could only eat snacks while looking at the terminal in her hand, pretending that she heard nothing and trying to minimize her presence.

It seems that Xing has returned to Beloberg and said that he has some things to deal with.

Then the next second, the child sent her a photo of himself making a V sign in front of a trash can, which made Xi Lan chuckle.

"What are you looking at that makes you so happy?"

Feicui looked at Xilan, who was secretly happy, and then changed the subject, naturally, to a certain Miss Fox.

"Ah, ah, I'm just chatting with friends, you don't have to mind me."

Xi Lan felt that the eyes of the two people sitting next to her and opposite her were all on her. It was still a little awkward no matter how she looked at it.

Seeing the little fox like this, Feicui understood without thinking.

It was still the little gray-haired pioneer chatting with Xi Lan.

Ah.

Why does it feel like this guy does this more frequently than Kafka's unreliable guardian?

It feels like this guy is everywhere?

Although Feicui was still a little unhappy in her heart, she still respected Xilan's privacy and did not go any further in front of Topa.

But Topa knew nothing and looked at Feicui and Xilan with some doubt in his eyes.

I always feel like I missed something...?

She blinked her confused eyes and glanced at Xi Lan who was chatting happily.

Who on earth can make Sister Xilan chat so happily?

Topa had doubts in his heart, and although he was curious, he suppressed it in front of Ms. Emerald.

During this afternoon tea time, the three people present spent it with their own thoughts.

Except for Xilan, the person involved, Topa and Feicui seemed to be worried.

She was a little confused, but didn't take it to heart.

When Feicui finished her afternoon tea and was about to leave, Xi Lan seemed to remember what she wanted to say.

Since Xing is here too, does that mean something will happen during Ye Lina’s business trip this time?

Xi Lan seemed to have made up her mind and put away the terminal she was playing with.

"Ms. Emerald, I need to speak to you about something."

She stood up even more decisively, with an embarrassed smile on her face: "I also want to go to Beloberg with Little Yelina. She is on a business trip, and I will go to take care of her and adjust her condition before going to Pinocchio."

Topa, who didn't expect Xi Lan to ask him to go out with her, was like a pie in the sky, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"....." The smile on Jadeite's face was a little stiff, and her gray-blue eyes held an incomprehensible meaning.

"Are you really accompanying little Yelina?"

She asked meaningfully, but her eyes made people feel guilty.

Xi Lan seemed not to understand what he meant, and said confidently, "Of course, can't I go to that cold place for others?"

Feicui couldn't help but laugh a few times. Although she didn't say much, she just patted Xilan's shoulder and said, "Well, go ahead. Keep warm and don't catch a cold." Then, she slowly leaned close to Xilan's ear, hooked her fingers around her collar, and was forced to bend down.

"Don't hide anything from me, okay? If I find out, I just happened to buy some gadgets that would be of great interest to both you and me."

Feicui patted Xilan's shoulder, speaking in a leisurely tone.

"I understand, Ms. Emerald." Hearing the words from the woman's mouth, Xi Lan blushed instantly and stuttered for a rare time: "I, I won't."

Even the disobedient tail became much more obedient, at least it stopped wagging in this situation.

"Good boy."

After she praised Xi Lan, she left Topa's room in a good mood.

Topa, who had not heard any of the conversation between the two, had a look of confusion on his face, but it was soon replaced by joy.

"Sister Xilan, do you want to go with me?!"

Topa happily pounced on Xilan and rubbed her cheek with his baby-fat face.

"Really? Really? I'm so happy!"

The previous embarrassment seemed to disappear, leaving only happiness and joy.

Sister Xilan said she would take care of me!

Is this my chance?

Can I get closer to Sister Xilan?!?

Topa, who still didn't know that Xilan did have selfish motives, was almost visibly happier.

"Of course, I won't lie to you. Whoever lies to you is a puppy, okay?"

Xi Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled happily.

I actually wanted to go and see if Xing was causing any trouble, but I was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Xi Lan felt guilty for deceiving the children and their parents. She could only hug Topa's waist with a smile and a dazed look in her eyes, feeling indebted.

It’s better not to let little Ye Lina know about this.

Especially Ms. Emerald.

If the other party knew about this, Xi Lan would not want to experience those little toys again...she would definitely not be able to get out of bed for several days.

...Absolutely, don't let Ms. Emerald know!

Chapter 9 I Want to Take Everything from You (Reward: 21/)

[Galaxy Batman: You're coming to Beloberg? Are you here to see me? I'm so happy!]

After telling Xing that she also wanted to go to Beloberg, she acted as happy as little Yelina.

Xi Lan lowered her head slightly and looked at Topa who was lying in her arms. At least he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

[I will never work overtime during my vacation: not for you, but to accompany my children to do some tasks, and I will leave after the tasks are completed. ]

But it was obvious that Xing Kaixin didn't want to hear what Xi Lan said.

【Galaxy Batman: No matter what, I'll take you out to play! I'll come find you, okay? Hehe! I haven't seen you for a long time.】

【Galaxy Batman: I miss you so much, don’t you miss me? 】

Xi Lan was stunned by the opponent's straight ball, and a subtle feeling was growing little by little in her heart.

maternal love?

"Yes, this is motherly love."

The questions that she had asked Ms. Jade at that time once again appeared in Xilan's mind.

Is it really motherly love?

For the first time, Xilan felt doubtful about Feicui's words.

But she quickly put it behind her mind.

What Ms. Jade said must be true, how could I doubt it?

With this thought in mind, Xi Lan just briefly finished the conversation with Xing and chose to put the terminal next to the pillow.

Today, she really couldn't resist little Ye Lina's coquettishness, and reluctantly stayed in the other party's lounge for a night.

She would be alone in that room anyway, so she might as well stay in the lounge with little Ye Lina.

Xi Lan was lost in her thoughts, but she found that her terminal started ringing again, forcing Miss Fox to come back to her senses.

Who else besides Xing could send her a message late at night?

Xi Lan, dazed, picked up the terminal again, resisted the urge to sleep, looked at the unfamiliar text message, and clicked on it again.

[Unknown user: I got hurt accidentally. It hurts a bit...]

The other person sends you a photo.

Maybe the network on the other side was not good. Xi Lan hadn't reacted yet. When she realized something, the photo was sent over.

The woman in dark purple revealed her fair waist, which was now wrapped in bandages. Her face, which had lost too much blood, looked a little fragile.

And those eyes without colored contact lenses were looking at the camera with a pitiful look.

Then I took this photo and sent it to her.

[I will never work overtime during my vacation: Why don’t you bandage my wound? Why are you taking photos of me? ? ]

This time the message was not rejected and was successfully sent to Kafka.

【Unknown user: You care about me so much? It makes me happy, dear. 】

She even found time to message herself!

Xi Lan took a deep breath, trying her best not to imagine the other person's smiling and asking for a beating look.

[Unknown user: The wound has been bandaged. Don't worry, little guy. I just miss you a little bit, so I just sent you a message.]

[I will never work overtime during my vacation: I am not worried about you, don’t think too much, I will go to sleep if nothing happens. ]

Although these words sounded a bit angry, Xi Lan had to admit that the other party was really worried about her when she saw the photo just now.
