Firefly: Stop saying that already!
Bai Luoming showed no reaction to Elio's words and remained soundly asleep, leaning against Firefly's lap.
Elio hesitated for a few seconds, then leaped off the sofa and walked gracefully to Kafka. He looked up at her with his little head raised, his eyes seemingly filled with a galaxy of stars.
"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"
Elio shook his head and said to Kafka, "It's alright. Since my friend doesn't want to see me now, there's no point in waiting."
"Alright, what do we do next?"
Kafka understood immediately, bent down and picked Elio up from the ground, gently stroking its back.
"Hmm, let's go find Blade first. Silver Wolf's been home lately, it's all cat food and takeout, he's practically starving."
Okay~
Kafka stroked Elio, then strode towards Blade's room. Before leaving, Kafka turned and glanced at Firefly and Bai Luoming, her expression somewhat complicated. In the end, she carried Elio away.
She held Elio in her arms and whispered to him, "Now that we're back, should we tell the Wolf Cub?"
Nestled in Kafka's arms, Elio glanced at Firefly, his expression hesitant, before finally saying, "No, let's call her when we eat later."
Then, as if afraid that Kafka might misunderstand something, Elio explained to Kafka, "Speaking of which, Silver Wolf has been sulking for a long time about you going to Luofu without waiting for her."
"These past few days she's been staying in her room playing video games all day, and most of the time I have to go out and find something to eat myself."
Kafka listened to Elio's accusatory tone and gave a slightly helpless smile. She simply stroked Elio's back and gently comforted it.
"Oh, I see. No wonder she didn't come downstairs when we got back. You must have had a hard time these past few days. I 'Blade to make you two fish later."
Her voice was calm as she carried Elio out of the room, glancing at Firefly, or rather Bai Luoming, who was lying on the sofa, before leaving.
Meanwhile, Silver Wolf was still in her room, squatting on her gaming chair, angrily playing games. She was listening intently to the sounds downstairs while watching the screen as she engaged in gunfights with others.
However, no matter how good her skills were, multitasking still affected her performance. As her focus gradually shifted to the ground floor, the movements of her character began to distort, and she was eventually defeated by a skilled player in a corner.
Normally, she would never make such a basic mistake; she would at least check things carefully. But now, she had no such mindset and just stared blankly at the settlement screen.
"What's going on? Am I not important at all? They're not even coming to see me now..."
She leaned back in her chair and murmured softly, looking somewhat dejected.
"Ugh, where am I...?"
At this moment, Bai Luoming slowly woke up from Firefly's lap. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the unfamiliar room beside him and the tall shadow cast above his head. Bai Luoming blinked, feeling somewhat confused for a moment.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice reached his ears, causing Bai Luoming to shudder and completely dispel the confusion he had felt while unconscious.
"You..."
"Shh, I know you have a lot of questions, but please be quiet for a moment."
Firefly extended a finger and placed it against Bai Luoming's lips, interrupting his unspoken words, a hint of regret in her expression that Bai Luoming had already woken up.
Upon hearing this, Bai Luoming stopped struggling. After all, he had experienced too many of these kinds of things and was somewhat used to them. He calmed down and waited to see what she had to say.
Looking at the quiet Bai Luoming, the regret in Firefly's eyes faded, replaced by a hint of satisfaction.
Then she reached her hand to the back of Bai Luoming 'Bai Luoming head and whispered, "How are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?"
Bai Luoming blinked and looked up at Firefly. From this angle, he could see Firefly's entire upper body. Beyond the mountains, he could see Firefly's somewhat rounded chin, and even the shadow cast by her eyelashes.
He glanced at the pretty girl in front of him, curled his lip, and said to Firefly, "Didn't I knock you out? Is this some kind of after-sales service?"
"Ah... I... you..."
Hearing Bai Luoming's words, Firefly's face flushed again. She couldn't help but think that if she had used a little more force earlier, Bai Luoming would have forgotten about the matter!
Looking at Firefly's expression, Bai Luoming felt that she seemed to be thinking about something impolite, but he had no proof.
"Alright, let's not think about that anymore. Tell me, what's your plan Stellaron Hunters, to kidnap me?"
Hearing Bai Luoming's words, Bai Luoming Firefly became serious, staring at him with a hesitant expression before finally speaking softly, "I don't know, it's just that Kafka told us to do it."
"So, after all this time you're just a hired hand, huh?"
As Bai Luoming spoke, he tried to sit up from Firefly's lap, but as soon as he made the movement, Firefly raised her hand and pressed down on his shoulder, preventing him from getting up.
"?"
Noticing Bai Luoming's probing look, Firefly blushed even more, but she didn't offer any explanation, simply pressing on Bai Luoming's shoulder.
At this moment, Bai Luoming was lying on Firefly's lap, while Firefly leaned down to look at Bai Luoming, her hand on his shoulder. To outsiders, their posture was extremely ambiguous.
"Baby, we're out of food in the kitchen. Blade and I are going out to buy some. Do you have anything...?"
Just then, Kafka pushed open the door and walked into the living room, but as soon as she entered, she saw the two of them in this ambiguous scene.
She was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the living room with a smile, gently closing the door behind her. Her cheerful voice could even be heard from outside.
"Let's go, we'll bring some cake rolls and pudding for Firefly and the Wolf Cub later."
Firefly and Bai Luoming looked at each other in the room, both of them looking somewhat embarrassed.
"Ahem, if it's alright, could you let me go first?"
"Okay, sure."
Finally, Bai Luoming coughed twice, breaking the increasingly awkward atmosphere. Seeing this, Firefly subconsciously let go of his hand, and Bai Luoming took the opportunity to get up from this tender and affectionate place.
As he rubbed his shoulders, relaxing the muscles that Firefly had been pressing hard on in her tension, he smiled at Firefly and said, "I really didn't expect you to look so delicate, but you're so strong."
"..."
"Stop talking!"
Firefly's voice was soft, her cheeks were flushed, and even her brain seemed a little overloaded, with wisps of white smoke rising from it.
