Ark Heroine Development Plan

Xingxiong laughed loudly, looking very happy.

At first, Afa thought there was nothing wrong, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt something was wrong, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that there was no problem.

"Sister Guanyue, have you been doing well these days?" Uncle Dong observed Guanyueli's expression carefully.

"Lately? Not very smooth." Guan Yueli chewed a fish ball and said vaguely, "Xiaoxing is in trouble, and I'm quite unhappy."

"That's right... I've heard about this."

Uncle Dong clicked his tongue and said, "There are still many evil spirits in this city. I just don't know what got into these idiots' brains to set their sights on you, Big Sister."

Guan Yueli laughed and said, "They've almost forgotten me. What does it have to do with whether they have brains or not?"

The old woman was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I also think, if I had you as my sister, it wouldn't be difficult to heal this city."

"So you can't be Wei Yanwu." Guan Yueli swallowed another fish ball contentedly, looking very satisfied with the taste. "I can only sell fish balls here."

Uncle Dong laughed heartily: "I am glad to hear what you said."

"I do remember that you and Xiao Wei didn't get along very well."

"You remember all this?" Uncle Dong was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed. "I'm so embarrassed."

"I have a good memory, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Guan Yueli shook the wine glass, and Uncle Dong immediately understood and filled it up.

"There are so many people who don't get along with Xiao Wei, and you're not one of them."

"That's what I said..." The old man hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and pleaded in a low, aged voice, "But if possible, please... don't be too hostile to Commander Wei."

The old man dedicated everything he could to this city, and so did his brother. Without his brother, he would not be able to stand here selling fish balls.

Ultimately, he hoped that this city could become what the man had promised.

Guan Yueli shook his wine glass: "Don't worry, I quite like this city, and... there are people I care about here."

Star Bear, who was squatting on the street, pricked up his ears.

Uncle Dong glanced at him and said with a smile, "That's good. With your words and Xingxiong here, I can sell fish balls in peace."

"Um……"

The woman looked at the back of the green-haired woman reflected in the cup wall, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"It's not just Xiaoxing."

Click——

"Oh my god, are you okay, old man? What's wrong with this bowl?"

Ah Fa looked at the porcelain bowl that was broken into pieces in Xing Xiong's hand, and turned around and shouted at Uncle Dong.

The old man looked at Guan Yueli who was drinking slowly with a confused look on his face. He tried to think for a long time but couldn't figure out what this lady in front of him meant.

"Why don't you ask anymore?" Guan Yueli asked with a smile.

Uncle Dong thought to himself, "Sister, please don't torture my old bones." But he had to bite the bullet and follow Guan Yueli's instructions and ask:

"Then, who else is so capable that Sister Guanyue would take a fancy to him?"

The old man asked with a dry laugh.

"Of course it is——"

"Sorry, Uncle Dong, I broke your bowl."

Xingxiong walked to the counter with the broken porcelain pieces in his hands, looking apologetic.

"Oh, it's just a small matter. But you, Xingxiong, are your hands okay? Wipe them first."

The green-haired woman silently took the cloth, wiped her hands clean, and then returned it politely.

"All the fish balls have fallen off. I still have a few left, Xiaoxing."

Guan Yueli smiled and scooped a fish ball with a spoon and handed it to Xingxiong's mouth: "Come on, open your mouth~"

Xingxiong obediently opened his mouth and swallowed it, smiling and answering, "It's delicious."

"Indeed, Xiao Dong's craftsmanship is really not to be underestimated."

Uncle Dong remained silent and composed.

"What a shame... Xiaoxing's brothers originally wanted to have a drink together."

Guan Yueli looked towards the street and saw that the men had unknowingly squatted down to a place where she could not hear what they were talking about at the stall.

"But it doesn't seem very realistic now." Guan Yueli shook her head with some regret, then slammed the table, scaring Uncle Dong.

"Give me two more bowls of fish balls, Xiao Dong." Guan Yueli looked serious.

"……okay."

"Wait, sister." Xingxiong suddenly spoke at this time.

"Hmm?" Guan Yueli, who was rubbing his hands and waiting for the fish balls, tilted his head and looked at her, a little confused. "What's wrong?"

"Eating too much before dinner is not good for your health." Xingxiong said seriously.

Guan Yueli, who was about to sip the soup, was stunned: "Ah? Isn't this dinner?"

"How could it be..." Xingxiong placed his hand on Guan Yueli's and smiled.

"If Sister is by my side, then what I cook for her is called dinner, right?"

"Hmm." Guan Yueli thought about it and didn't raise any objections. "That's right, then shall we... go back?"

"Would you like to go shopping again?"

"I'm here to play with you. If you don't want to go shopping, then of course—"

"I don't want to go shopping anymore."

Xingxiong answered without hesitation.

"I want to go home with my sister."

The hand that was originally covering the back of Guan Yueli's hand had already tightly grasped Guan Yueli's wrist without her knowing when.

The draping emerald hair covered half of her face:

"It's just me and my sister...going home."

"Okay."

The woman gently stroked Xingxiong's long hair, hugged her in her arms, and said softly:

"Then go home."

Chapter 60 - Just an old woman (pulling up pants)

There are no stars in the night sky tonight, but the bright lights twinkling among the towering buildings are more dazzling than the stars.

If it were any other time, Xingxiong, holding Guan Yueli's arm, would definitely calm down and enjoy the happy time shopping with her sister, but now Xingxiong just wants to get home as soon as possible, the sooner the better. If she wasn't worried about Guan Yueli becoming suspicious, she would have wanted to call a taxi to go back directly.

Very upset.

It's abnormal, it's not like someone like her would be so irritable.

Even if he was jealous, nervous, possessive, or even had worse thoughts, Xingxiong shouldn't be so upset at this moment.

She couldn't stand people taking pictures secretly, and she couldn't even stand the passersby's astonished gazes falling on Guan Yueli.

Xingxiong himself knew that something must have gone wrong, but he was in no mood to delve into it.

Maybe all I need is a good night's sleep, maybe all I need is a night of asking for and being comforted.

She will turn back into her original, normal Hoshiguma.

"...Xiaoxing, Xiaoxing?"

Guan Yueli's confused question interrupted Xingxiong's confused thoughts.

The woman pinched her cheek: "Why are you suddenly dazed?"

Xingxiong came back to his senses and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I was thinking about something and got distracted. Sorry, sister."

Guan Yueli didn't ask Xingxiong what he was thinking. She just pulled Xingxiong's arm and said, "Do you still want to buy clothes?"

"…buying clothes?"

"You usually dress pretty casually, so I'll buy you a couple more sets of clothes."

Guan Yueli said as if it was a matter of course - even though she didn't even change her clothes.

After staring at Guan Yueli's face for a while, Xingxiong slowly shook his head.

"Let's talk about it another day, sister. I want to go home."

Going shopping again? How many people would stare at her sister, and how many would try to strike up a conversation with her? Xingxiong didn't want to think about it, and she hated to think about it.

She didn't look at Guan Yueli, but only heard Guan Yueli's chuckle and answer:

"Then don't wander around any longer and go straight home."

"Ah."

Guan Yueli's straightforward response put her at ease, and the unbearable boredom and depression in her heart also dissipated a lot, but...

"Hey, isn't that... Sister Guanyue?"

Not far away, Xingxiong heard such shouts.

Then, in her sight, a cute blonde girl was jogging towards here, pulling a Lupert girl with a somewhat reluctant expression, while greeting them.

"Sister Guanyue, are you shopping today too? This is..." The blonde girl first held Guanyue Li's hand happily, then blinked and cast her gaze on Xingxiong.

"This is me—"

"Hello, my name is Xingxiong." Xingxiong stretched out his hand towards the girl, so the girl had to let go of Guan Yueli's hand and reached out.

"Xingxiong...ah, I get it. You're the little Xing that Sister Guanyue mentioned...you're Sister Guanyue's younger sister, right?"

The girl's smile was full of friendliness. "My name is Sora, and she's my friend Texas. Please give me your guidance, Miss Xingxiong."

The girl named Texas, Rupert, nodded to Xingxiong as a greeting, then shifted her gaze to Guan Yueli and did not move away.

Xingxiong took a deep breath.

"Xiao Xing is very easy to talk to. Oh, yes, I told you already... Anyway, Sora-chan and Xiao De, just treat her as a friend. By the way, why are you two here? Where are the others?"

Guan Yueli smiled so hard that her eyes curved up. "Or...are you on a date?"

Texas subconsciously wanted to say something, but Sora simply hugged her arms and said happily:

"We're on a date."

Texas turned his head and looked at the girl's shaking ears and her face filled with joy. Although he was silent, he did not show any reluctance or dissatisfaction.

Guan Yueli, who saw all this, secretly gave Kong a thumbs up, and the latter smiled even more happily.

"Where are Sister Guanyue and Miss Xingxiong? Are they shopping?"

"Not really... We have to go home now." Guan Yueli waved her hand first, then looked at Kong and Texas with a meaningful look in her eyes.

"You two, you've got quite a few. The clothes are really nice—especially Xiao De's."

Kong was wearing a dress with a dark blue Columbian plaid vest on the upper body. Her slender waist was gathered by a wide platinum belt. The cuffs of the pure white lining were stacked with delicate lace. The front of the skirt revealed her slender legs wrapped in white silk.

Texas was wearing a black Victorian trench coat with snow-white lace pleats at the collar. His long legs were wrapped in black tights and high boots, and his hands were wearing black leather gloves. His cold expression matched the clothes perfectly.

"Is that so?" Kong's eyes lit up. "Texas's outfit is really beautiful. Sister Guanyue has great taste!"

"It's just the facts, don't you think, Xiaoxing?"

"Well, both the flight attendant and the Texas lady look great." Xingxiong, who was holding Guan Yueli's arm, smiled with narrowed eyes. "No matter the style or the color, they look like a couple."

Texas raised an eyebrow but said nothing, but Sora's face suddenly turned red. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but quickly closed it, biting his lip slightly and holding Texas' hand tightly.

"Um... Thank you, Miss Xingxiong. Texas and I are just ordinary friends now, not a couple..."

Sora blushed a little sheepishly at first and whispered, then bowed slightly to Hoshiguma with a pure and clean smile: "However, I will take your words as a compliment, Miss Hoshiguma."

The girl tilted her head and whispered to Texas, "Is this okay, Texas?"
