Night, Meet Sakura! / Night, Master Sakura!

"Hmm, it feels pretty good..."

After taking a sip, Sakura's eyes lit up. The taste of this milk tea... was quite fragrant. Although it didn't taste as good as the milk tea from the shop at first glance, it had a sweet aftertaste and was mellow and fragrant.

"Hmm, probably..."

Seeing that Sakura and Rin seemed to like it quite a bit, Klein finally lowered his guard. It seemed that although the Doctor couldn't cook, his milk tea was probably fine, since Rin and Sakura had both tested it for poison.

"Hmm... that's really good."

Sakura took another sip, feeling the warmth, then gulped down the entire cup of milk tea in one go, finally letting out a long sigh, "Wow, so comforting..."

Would you like another drink?

Seeing that Sakura liked it so much, Klein smiled and handed her the white cup, saying, "This was originally intended for Seele, but there's only half a cup left, so why don't you drink it? I'll go and get Seele another cup later."

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Because Sakura was a little thirsty at that moment, and because she had indeed spilled some milk tea, there was now only half a cup left in the white cup.

So Sakura decisively took the white cup, but didn't drink it directly. Instead, she poured the milk tea into her own cup, placed it on the table in her room, and planned to drink it after picking up the package.

"Hmm... I'll send it to Ling Xi first."

Looking at the empty white cup, Klein could only send Ling Xi's cup over first. As for Seele's... well, the Doctor cooked a whole pot anyway. After sending Ling Xi's cup, he could just send Seele's cup over himself, right?

Oh, and the milk tea in the hallway, we need to move it later, otherwise it's easy for someone to slip and fall if they step on it.

Finally, Klein knocked on Ling Xi's door...

"Um?"

Hearing the knocking, Ling Xi was a little puzzled. Who would be knocking on her door so late at night instead of sleeping?

Doctor? Or Elysia?

"Huh? Klein?"

Ling Xi seemed a little surprised to find that it was Klein knocked on the door after opening it.

"Hmm, good evening, Ling Xi."

Klein smiled slightly, then handed the remaining cup of milk tea to Ling Xi, saying, "This is milk tea brewed by the Doctor himself. Sakura and Rin both thought it was very good. Would you like to try some?"

"The milk tea brewed by the Doctor..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi's expression changed slightly. Clearly, his first reaction was the same as Klein's: to be on guard.

After all, the only dish my Doctor knows how to cook is instant noodles, and now you're telling me... the Doctor actually made milk tea himself?

However, since it was made by his dearest Dr. Mobius and wife, it would be somewhat inappropriate to refuse it outright.

So, Ling Xi took the milk tea, smelled it briefly to make sure there was nothing unusual about it, and then cautiously took a sip...

"Hmm? Surprisingly, it tastes good."

Immediately, Ling Xi also discovered that this milk tea was actually quite delicious. It wasn't as sweet as the ones sold outside, nor did it have that artificial flavoring taste. Instead, it had the genuine aroma of tea and milk.

So, Ling Xi decisively drank it all in one gulp, after all, the cup wasn't very big to begin with!

"Wow... it's pretty good, Klein, do you have any more?"

After finishing the cup, Ling Xi, like Ying, felt it wasn't enough, since the cup was really a bit small.

Yes, there are.

Klein nodded and said, "The Doctor has cooked a pot. I'll go get you another cup."

"Thanks, Klein."

Ling Xi placed the cup directly on the tray and said thank you.

"You're welcome..."

Klein smiled, then turned and went downstairs to get the milk tea...

Chapter 268: Night, meeting Sakura!

In the kitchen, Mobius was still chatting with Elysia when he noticed Klein had returned, along with two empty cups on a tray, one for Ling Xi and the other for Seele.

"Klein, has the milk tea arrived? These two cups are..."

Looking at the two empty cups, Mobius immediately asked a somewhat serious question.

"Yes, it's been delivered."

Klein nodded slightly and said, "Ling Xi's cup is because he finished it but wanted another, so he asked me to bring him another one. As for Seele's..."

"Hehe, as expected of Ling Xi, you really have good taste."

Before Klein finish speaking, Mobius happily smiled at Elysia and said, "Look, Ling Xi likes my milk tea."

Elysia: "..." Ling Xi has drunk my milk tea countless times, at least a hundred times...

However, Elysia didn't want to talk at the moment. She just silently drank the milk tea in her hand. Although she didn't want to admit it, the milk tea was actually quite good. Unexpectedly, Mobius, this cooking idiot, actually made a pot of pretty good milk tea by accident.

"Klein, let them drink if they want. They can leave the rest, but don't let them drink it the next day."

As he spoke, Mobius stretched and chuckled, "Please take the rest of them to their places. I need to head back to my room now!"

"Yes, Doctor..."

Klein continued to nod silently. Sigh, as the Doctor's assistant, he had sacrificed so much for this family...

"Then I'll go back to my room too."

Elysia scooped up a cup of milk tea last, then carried it back to her room to rest. Tonight... she could finally get a good night's sleep. Hopefully, the noise from next door would be a little quieter tonight.

So, Mobius and Elysia quickly slipped away, leaving Klein slowly serve everyone milk tea...

Klein: "..." You'll get used to it...

Afterwards, Klein poured another cup of milk tea for Seele, and together with the cups for Ling Xi and Danzhu Cangxuan, he served them a total of four cups. Finally...

Klein returned to the kitchen, poured himself a cup of milk tea, and took a small sip...

Yes, it's really quite good...

"Strange, why do I feel so restless and agitated?"

At 11 p. m., Ling Xi had already taken a shower and gone to bed, but for some reason, her little brother didn't seem to want to sleep at all and kept releasing the Emperor's E skill.

"Mmm..."

Ling Xi tossed and turned in bed, but felt like something was missing. She just wanted to hug something, whether it was a pillow or Elysia herself.

However, Elysia needs to rest tonight, Doctor has an experiment. Damn it, why does it always have to be today?

"No, I can't sleep..."

After a while, Ling Xi still couldn't fall asleep, so she sat up in bed, put on her slippers, and went out for some fresh air. Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist bothering Elysia again.

Although he really wanted to, Elysia wasn't his personal tool, so it was obviously wrong to unilaterally seek her out to solve his problem. Therefore... he could only resort to physical cooling methods.

So, Ling Xi didn't use the door. Instead, she used the power of her Space Core to fly directly from the window to the rooftop. This was the same place she had gone to to see the stars last time to avoid the Doctor. Unexpectedly... the tables had turned. This time, she wasn't here to avoid the Doctor, but for a similar reason. And this time...

I really came to see the stars to calm down.

"Huh?"

However, when Ling Xi arrived at her designated spot, she found that someone was already there. Under the moonlight, Ling Xi could vaguely see the other person's pink hair...

Elysia... no, is this Sakura?

Upon seeing the pink hair, Ling Xi's first thought was of Elysia, but after a closer look, she realized that it wasn't Elysia's hairstyle, but rather... Sakura's hairstyle.

"Cherry?"

Ling Xi called out tentatively.

"Huh? Ling Xi?"

Sakura also noticed Ling Xi at this moment, and seemed somewhat surprised, as she had not expected to meet Ling Xi here.

"It really is you..."

After confirming it was Sakura, Ling Xi relaxed a little. Luckily, she was one of their own; otherwise, it would have been troublesome if she were a thief or something.

But then again, which thief would come to your house to steal something?

"Hmm, what a coincidence."

Sakura smiled and then voluntarily gave up a little space.

Ling Xi didn't stand on ceremony and sat down next to Ying, asking, "Ying, why aren't you sleeping at night? What are you doing up on the roof?"

"Hmm... I don't know why, but I feel..."

Sakura hesitated for a moment, then smiled slightly and said, "I'm just feeling a bit restless and can't sleep at all, so I came here to find some peace and quiet. And you, did you come to see me?"

As she spoke, Ying looked at Ling Xi with a hint of anticipation. Could it be that Ling Xi had discovered she was gone and had come specifically to find her?

"Um... I'm the same as you."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and smiled, "I also feel a bit irritable and can't sleep, so I decided to come here for some peace and quiet. By the way, Ying, I used to come to this spot occasionally before."

"Oh? Is that so? What a coincidence..."

Hearing Ling Xi's words, Ying smiled with some surprise, "I usually come here when I want to be alone and quiet, but I didn't expect you to come too, Ling Xi, and... we didn't even meet?"

"Eh? Hehe, that is quite a coincidence."

Ling Xi gave an awkward laugh. After all... she had only come twice in total, once last time and once this time, so...

The chances of me meeting Sakura are definitely fifty percent, which is quite high, isn't it?

Then, the two fell into a strange silence. After all, they were both feeling a bit restless, as if a fire was burning inside them. Before, when they were alone, they might have just felt a little uncomfortable, but now...

Ling Xi increasingly wanted to reach out and hug Ying beside her; she just felt uncomfortable not holding onto something...

As for Sakura, she's not much better off, after all...

In terms of quantity, Ling Xi only drank one cup, while she drank one and a half. Although this was already a further diluted amount of the Mobius, it still had some effect, so...

At this moment, Sakura's heart was also beginning to stir; she wanted to say or do something, but...

She now wants to try things she used to want to say but didn't dare to, things she used to want to do but didn't dare to...

Chapter 269: Night, Yuying!

"Ling Xi ..."

After a long silence, Sakura finally spoke up...

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ling Xi was also a little frightened at this moment, after all, her own thoughts just now...

No, no, I don't have any special relationship with Sakura, how could I think like that?

"I..."

Sakura seemed to want to say something, but the words caught in her throat.

"Cherry..."

Seemingly sensing Sakura's hesitation and inner conflict, Ling Xi, as if possessed, placed his hand on the back of Sakura's hand and smiled, "I remember saying back in Changkong City that we're family, so... if you have something to say, just say it, even if you say something wrong..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "We're all family, why would I care?"

"Hmm, I... understand..."

Sakura smiled and then felt an increasing urge to get closer to Ling Xi. For some reason, her heart started racing as soon as she caught a whiff of Ling Xi's scent. She wanted to... wanted to get closer to him.

"So, Sakura, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ling Xi remained calm as she looked at Ying beside her. Of course, this was only on the surface; in reality, she was panicking terribly!

It's really strange, I have this feeling that if I stay any longer, something bad will happen sooner or later. Even though my rational mind tells me I should leave, I have to get away from Sakura, but...

To reiterate, it's impossible for humanity to remain rational forever, at least for now...

"Ling Xi ..."

Sakura suddenly moved closer to Ling Xi and threw herself into Ling Xi arms...

Ling Xi: "??? Holy crap, don't do anything reckless! I was already on the verge of a breakdown."
