Does Sakura Want to Become Family Too? / Let's Get Our Marriage License-Let's Go Right Now!
"Eh... Ling Xi?"
At Sakura's house, Sakura was somewhat surprised to see Ling Xi reappear, but also quite happy.
"Ahem, well, I came to check on Rin's homework. After all, I'm the one who brought Rin back from school, so..."
Ling Xi said righteously, "Of course I'm also responsible for Ling's studies."
"I see... Oh."
Hearing that Ling Xi had come to see Ling, Sakura was a little disappointed, but not too surprised. After all, Ling seemed to really like Ling Xi. Of course, this liking was just a simple liking, like Ling's liking for ice cream.
"Please come in."
Sakura quickly invited Ling Xi into her home.
After entering the house, Ling Xi casually looked around at the environment. It was a two-bedroom, one-living room, and one-bathroom apartment. In a place like Changkong City where land is extremely valuable, honestly, the configuration was quite good.
Moreover, it's only a temporary stay of two days. Once we arrive on the Mu Continent, Mobius will definitely help make arrangements. After all, Sakura is very strong. When he's not around, Sakura is the last line of defense protecting Mobius. Based on that alone, Mobius would never mistreat Sakura!
"Ling Xi!"
Upon seeing Ling Xi, Ling happily rushed over and clung to Ling Xi, exclaiming with delight, "Ling Xi, what brings you here?"
"Let's see how Ling's homework is going."
Ling Xi also took the initiative to hug Ling in her arms, and then sat on the sofa. "Ling, oh Ling, heed my call and help me dispel the aura of Elysia!"
"Hmph, of course it's already done."
Ling looked very proud.
"Hmm..."
Sakura silently covered her forehead. As for the homework... it was indeed done, but the accuracy rate was, well, not just barely acceptable, but downright appalling.
Sakura sometimes really doubts whether Rin is her biological sister, because the difference in their intelligence is too big. Back then, Sakura's grades were among the best in the whole grade, but how come her sister always hovered between passing and failing in every exam?
"Really? Has it been checked?"
Ling Xi asked this question out of curiosity, since she had initially thought Ling should be a top student, but...
This girl is someone even Klein teaching her; her strength is evident.
"Hmm..."
Ling jumped off Ling Xi's lap and pointed to the door, saying, "Go away, I don't want you as my brother anymore..."
Ling Xi: "???"
Cherry"..."
A moment later, Sakura sent Rin back to her room to finish her homework...
"I'm sorry, Ling Xi, Ling just doesn't like studying."
Looking at Ling Xi, Sakura felt a little embarrassed. After all, Ling had just told Ling Xi to leave, although no one took it seriously.
"It's okay, I understand."
Ling Xi nodded silently, indicating that she understood. After all, memories of her student days are still very vivid.
"Sakura, can you sit next to me?"
Seeing Sakura standing in front of her, Ling Xi felt a little uncomfortable and laughed, "I feel a lot of pressure with you standing like this."
"Okay... no problem."
Sakura, of course, wouldn't refuse. She quietly sat down next to Ling Xi, still smiling as she looked at Ling Xi. "By the way, when are we leaving?"
"This..."
Ling Xi thought for a moment and smiled, "At the latest, next Friday; at the earliest, I think we can start the evacuation as early as next Monday. Klein will have everything arranged by then, so don't worry."
"Yes, I believe you."
Sakura nodded with a smile. Actually, she didn't want to ask this question at all, because it was meaningless. But... it seemed that she and Ling Xi really didn't have anything to say to each other.
"Sakura, where are your family?"
However, speaking of evacuation, Ling Xi also thought of Sakura's family. After all, she and Mobius knew that the Honkai was about to happen, and this would definitely be exposed in the future. If Sakura's family were to perish in this Honkai, then...
Sakura will inevitably have some thorns in her heart in the future.
After all, when Mobius and Klein arranged the evacuation, they also brought along the families of everyone in the research institute. Anyone who wanted to evacuate could go together, and the result was...
Originally, two passenger planes would have been enough to complete the evacuation mission, but now the number has increased to five, and some family members have already begun to evacuate.
"Family..."
Sakura sighed softly and smiled slightly, "It's just bells. There's nothing else besides bells."
"Forehead..."
Hearing this answer, Ling Xi was also a little surprised. It seems that Sakura is also a standard feature of the protagonist.
"It's okay, Sakura, from now on..."
Ling Xi smiled at Ying and said, "We are your family, understand?"
"Eh... Ling Xi is my family?"
Sakura was immediately surprised. Was this... a confession? After all, family...
Aside from family members who are already related by blood, the only other way to become family is...
"Yes!"
Ling Xi smiled and said, "Didn't Ling already call me brother? So, from now on, Ling will be my sister."
As one of the future Flame-Chasing Moths, Sakura should definitely get on his good side as soon as possible. After all, this girl is an assassin who can go toe-to-toe with a berserker in the later stages. Her strength goes without saying!
So, while Sakura is still innocent and not yet Fused Warrior, let's take her as a little sister first. That way, Sakura will naturally stay by my side wholeheartedly, and I'll have another powerful ally.
Moreover, perhaps in the future when Rin becomes the Herrscher of Corruption, I can still change something. Even if I can't save Rin, I can try to save Sakura!
After all, Sakura's ultimate fate should have been to betray the Flame-Chasing Moths for Rin, and ultimately be defeated by Kevin...
Therefore, if this relationship can be established, I can try to protect Rin first. If I fail in the end, then I can only try to persuade Sakura to stay.
"Um... I... I understand."
Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Ying seemed to understand what Ling Xi was implying: Ling Xi wanted to be Ling's older brother, wanted to be part of her family, so...
There's only one truth: because if they can't be family by blood, they can only be family on the household registration. So...
As expected of me, I could even guess such a subtle hint.
"Good to know."
Jiang Ying didn't resist, and Ling Xi was very happy. The Flame-Chasing Moths two powerful backers—no...it should be three. One was already his wife, another had become family, and the last one...
Maybe, probably, possibly eight out of ten, she might even become my wife...
After lingering at Sakura's house for a while to make sure he had picked up Sakura and Rin's scent, Ling Xi leisurely returned to the lab. Tonight... he should get some rest early, since he still had important things to do tomorrow.
Chapter 129: Let's get our marriage certificate, let's go now!
"Hmm... It's Elysia's scent again."
Back home, Ling Xi was once again hugged and sniffed by Mobius, who looked at Ling Xi with some displeasure, "You got kidnapped by her again?"
"Um... more or less."
Ling Xi really wanted to say that she went voluntarily, but then she thought about it again. The reason she went voluntarily was probably because she was kidnapped by Elysia this morning, threatened, and only then had no choice but to go. So...
To put it simply, I was kidnapped by Elysia before I went there.
"Hmph, that vixen, she always likes to tease you."
However, Mobius was somewhat immune to Elysia's behavior. Anyway... he would be officially getting his marriage certificate with Ling Xi tomorrow, and no matter what Elysia did then, she would just be a clown.
"Doctor, when do we depart?"
Ling Xi didn't want to, or rather, dared not, continue discussing Elysia's issue with Mobius, so she decisively changed the subject.
"First thing tomorrow morning? Didn't you say that?"
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a puzzled expression.
"Um... Doctor, I mean, when do we set off for the Mu Continent?"
Ling Xi cared about this issue and wanted to know the specific time in advance so she could pick up Seele.
"According to Klein, most people are ready and can start evacuating tomorrow. It should take about three days to evacuate, but one last flight will be left to take everyone else away next Friday."
"I see..."
Ling Xi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's evacuate next Monday. After I spend Sunday showing Seele around Changkong City, we can evacuate the next day. What do you think, Doctor?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Mobius had no objection to the suggestion, after all, he also needed to consider Seele for Ling Xi, and besides, the timing didn't conflict.
"Thank you, Doctor."
Seeing that Mobius did not object, Ling Xi was also quite happy and couldn't help but hug Mobius.
"Hmph, if you want to express your gratitude, then you'd better work harder tonight."
Mobius also looked at Ling Xi with a smile.
"Um... Doctor, you should get some rest tonight, since we have to go out tomorrow..."
Speaking of this, Ling Xi was already feeling a bit overwhelmed. After all, some things become easier with practice, and Dr. Mobius was certainly excellent, but...
This has been going on for half a month, and the supplies are really starting to run out.
"It's okay, that place is open 24 hours, we can go in the afternoon, it's the same."
Mobius looked at Ling Xi with a wicked grin. Of course, she couldn't possibly give up such a good opportunity. She had endured for a full half month, suffering endless "torture" every night, waiting for just this one opportunity, a chance to... take back everything!
It is our inescapable duty to restore the glory of Doctor!
Ling Xi "..."
"Then... how about we go now?"
Ling Xi made a new suggestion: since they might not be able to get up tomorrow, why not go and take care of things with the Doctor now, so they can get a good rest tomorrow?
"Mmm..."
Mobius stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment, then smiled and said, "That seems like a good idea. So... shall we go now?"
"Okay, let's go."
Ling Xi nodded decisively, "Let's have a... spontaneous wedding!"
At the same time, Ling Xi checked the time and smiled, "By the way, we can also take a stroll around the city. Anyway, it's only seven o'clock in the evening."
"That's true, wait for me a moment."
So, Mobius quickly took off her casual clothes, changed into a more formal dress, and then put on some light makeup—after all, she was going out shopping.
About ten minutes later, the two of them came downstairs together and prepared to go out.
"Doctor, Ling Xi?"
Upon arriving in the lobby, they were immediately spotted by Klein, who was still working overtime. Seeing that the two were dressed in formal attire, Klein asked with some curiosity, "Are you two heading out?"
"Yes, let's... go out for a walk."
Mobius smiled at Klein, but didn't tell the truth.
"Want to go shopping...?"
Klein also very surprised to look at Mobius. Good heavens, the Doctor actually went out shopping on his own initiative?
However, after glancing at Ling Xi next to Mobius, well, I already guessed the reason.
"Doctor, I want to go too."
Since we were going shopping, Klein decided to go along too, saying, "After this, I don't know when I'll be able to return to Changkong City, so Doctor, let's go shopping together."
"Forehead..."
