Bad women always look at me

But little Xilan doesn't seem like a naughty child, making a fuss and crying.

Just listening to it gives me a headache.

Thinking of this, Silver Wolf subconsciously touched Xi Lan's little head and pinched her ears a few times.

"Silver Wolf?"

"Hey, Kafka and the others are back."

She raised her head and motioned the little one to raise his head so that he could see Kafka whom he had been thinking about.

Blade and Star, who were helping Kafka carry her new coat, seemed to be used to it.

Silver Wolf thought about it and thought, with his small body, he didn't look like he would be used as a laborer, right?

Seeing Xi Lan rushing towards Kafka holding her game console, Silver Wolf finally relaxed a lot.

Xing, with a happy face, gave Xilan a small trash can pendant.

Although she was a little skeptical about Xing's taste, since it was a gift from family after all, Xi Lan happily accepted it.

Xilan had a great time for the rest of the time. It would be more accurate to say that she was very happy just being with everyone.

It's just that fate always likes to play tricks on people.

After putting Xilan, who was already tired from playing, on the bed, Kafka just took a deep look at the little fox who was sleeping soundly.

Finally, before leaving, she couldn't help but gently stroked the other person's cheek.

Faced with this strange silence, Silver Wolf had a bad feeling.

Sitting in the living room, she looked at the two silent people and finally chose to remain silent, waiting for Kafka to come out and ask what was going on.

But when the man came out, before Silver Wolf could even ask his question, Kafka spoke first.

"You can leave now."

Silver Wolf was stunned for a moment.

"Leaving what?"

"Hush, listen to me. These are of course literal meanings. The company has already noticed this place. Leave first. I will tell you the rest after the retreat is successful."

She opened her mouth and looked at Xilan's room blankly, the doubt in her eyes almost overflowing.

Kafka just made a gesture to keep quiet and gestured to the blade.

The silver wolf was caught under the armpit by the blade before it could react. The man didn't even say anything, but just quickly left the area with the silver wolf.

Xing glanced at the dim room with her peripheral vision, pursed her lips tightly, and left without looking back.

From now on, there was only a lone little fox left in that warm little house.

Chapter 11 I am Jade's dog!

"I didn't expect that the famous Star Core Hunter would hide a fox child in a house that can be seen everywhere, or in this small room... um..."

The woman with long purple-pink hair was sitting at the table at this time, looking at the child who had no energy at all, and a hint of interest flashed in her gray-blue eyes.

Judging from her hands and face, she was well-raised, just like an ordinary child. At least on the surface, she didn't know any fighting skills.

A child who had been protected by the Star Core Hunter for so long, but was just thrown into that small house... It was as if the Star Core Hunter had deliberately led him here.

When he was discovered by the company's employees, he was like a little puppet and refused to say a word.

If he hadn't choked occasionally, they would have thought that the little guy was a mute.

"Come on, child, tell me how you came to be abandoned in that room."

Women are always extra patient when facing innocent children.

Moreover, this little guy might have enough value for her to exploit.

She sat calmly on the chair, looking with scrutiny at the little fox standing in front of her with electronic shackles on his wrists and ankles.

As long as the movement is a little big, this shackle will send out a shrill alarm.

"You've asked me this question many times. I don't know."

The sound that came out of her slightly hoarse voice was so loud that even she doubted whether it was a sound she could make.

She raised her head slightly, and her light purple eyes looked at the woman sitting not far away.

"I don't know anything... I just went through my daily routine and when I woke up I found that everyone was gone..."

The child's eyes were filled with confusion, and he even felt as if he had returned to the rainy night when he was abandoned by his mother.

Lonely, doubtful, and even overwhelmed by the future that one has to face.

Abandoned...

Is it because I am not a good kid? Or is it because of something else?

Kafka, why?

Does everyone no longer want me?

Am I too willful?

Xi Lan's eyes were filled with confusion. Her gaze randomly fell on the woman not far away. Then she lowered her head, as if she was unwilling to continue being observed by this woman.

"Even if you keep asking, I can only say I know nothing. It's up to you. You can throw me anywhere..."

She murmured, but she was sure that what she said was heard.

The woman looked young, but she looked like an abandoned pet and frowned slightly.

And those slender fingers tapped on the table, as if thinking about something.

Keep this little guy by your side? It would be a pity to let him go like this... All the value of this child may be in the future.

As a [business person], she could see the value of this little guy in the future.

It's a pity to send it to an orphanage. Little guys like this are more interesting when they are kept around.

Keep a little fox by your side...

She raised the corners of her lips and narrowed her eyes like a mature and steady adult.

So, what's wrong with just keeping it by your side?

Looking at Xi Lan not far away, whose pitiful appearance was even hanging down with her tail, she slowed down her voice for some reason.

"No, I won't just throw you out." This smiling look made Xi Lan feel like she was a prey being targeted: "Obviously, you are worth more than this."

Seeing Xi Lan's confusion, he just chuckled a few times, stood up calmly, and walked to her little by little.

Xi Lan lowered her head and could only hear the sound of high heels stepping on the ground, which seemed to be getting closer and closer to her.

The fluffy tail shook uneasily.

Before she could fully react, the woman who was originally sitting on the other side of the table had already come in front of Xi Lan.

At this moment, he reached out his hand without any hesitation, pinched Xilan's chin, forced her head up, and looked into those dangerous eyes.

"Stay with me, little one. I can see all your future value."

She smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, but there was an inexplicable toughness in her that did not tolerate rejection.

"Of course, this is the only thing you don't have the power to refuse."

And from the moment this little guy came in front of him, there was no turning back.

At this moment, looking at those eyes that were wide open because of shock, she smiled contentedly and pinched Xilan's face again.

"Ah, I like your eyes, they are like...kunzite...Little guy, stay by my side from now on, and let me observe your value carefully."

At this time, the little fox could clearly feel that the feeling of being entangled by the snake seemed to be much tighter.

So that she can't break free.

Chapter 12: Already in the Shape of Emerald

Looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling and the strange scent coming from the bedding made Xi Lan unable to sleep.

What should this be called, being attached to one's bed? Or is it because there is nothing around that can make one feel at ease?

Looking back, it seemed that the little pendant that Xing gave her was taken away by those fierce big uncles and aunts.

The only little thing that gave her a sense of security was gone.

Then he wrote his name in a daze on a piece of paper with illegible words on it, and owed a lot of debts for Kafka and the others.

That beautiful but scary older sister said she became her new guardian.

The little fox blinked in confusion, thinking back on everything that had happened since he was brought to this room.

All the courses and schedules she mentioned had been arranged and placed on the bedside table.

Everything that happened in the past few days seemed a little too magical.

From being discovered and abandoned, to being taken to an unfamiliar place by a group of fierce-looking adults, and finally being adopted by that lady.

Especially when that person said he wanted to find value in her, coupled with the feeling of being targeted by something, it was really scary.

It seemed like only a few days had passed.

Lying on the bed which was much softer than the one in the small house, Xi Lan experienced for the first time what it was like to be unable to sleep.

Should it be called insomnia?

I clearly didn’t drink the bitter coffee...but why can’t I fall asleep?

Is it because someone is missing to lull you to sleep? Or is it because the familiar doll is missing to accompany you?

Xi Lan didn't understand what was going on in her little head.

Especially the one not far from the bed, where she was sitting on the desk a few hours ago, and he became her nominal guardian.

This also caused her to be unable to sleep now.

Xi Lan tossed and turned in bed, and even thought she was making very little noise.

But it still inevitably attracted the other party's attention.

Feicui, who was processing documents under the desk lamp, wore the dress even during her break. However, when she was working at night, she wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a strong woman.

Noticing Xi Lan's vague gaze, Feicui raised her head slightly, looked at the bulge on her bed in the lounge, and asked softly.

"Can't sleep?"

Xi Lan hadn't figured out how to face this new guardian yet. While she was hesitating about how to start, Feicui had already sat down on the edge of the bed.

The distance with Xi Lan was shortened again.

"Let me guess. You must feel that everything that happened today was moving too fast and you can't sleep, right?" Jade pointed out the child's inner struggles.

Seeing the little fellow showing a curious look of "how did you know?", Feicui subconsciously thought of the children in the welfare home.

Moreover, Feicui, who was always gentle with children, was stunned for a moment, and then subtly changed the subject.

"Do you want to read fairy tales or sing a lullaby?"

Xi Lan, frightened by such a gentle tone, blinked, but still shook her head under Feicui's gaze.

".....I'll try to go to bed early...I'm sorry for disturbing you..."

Xi Lan tried to shrink into the quilt again, and opened her eyes wide, looking at the woman who was wearing a dress, taking off her high heels and getting into the bed. Before she could even say anything, she was hugged by this person.
