That's Quite an Entrance / The Wish-Granting Tree

"??"

Hearing what the little girl said next, Ling Mengxue turned around in surprise.

Their eyes met, and she froze for a moment, her face suddenly turning bright red to her ears. She quickly lowered her head, her mind going completely blank. Who talks like that?!

On the sofa next to her, Su Xiaoxiao had already torn open a pack of 'Little Raccoon Crispy Noodles' and was drinking soda. She was sitting with her legs crossed, watching the show with a feeling of indescribable comfort, but also a slightly strange feeling of 'I'm the third wheel'.

Overall, it's quite strange.

Fortunately, in the end, Ling Mengxue finally got her wish and regained her own body. However, being dressed up so beautifully made her feel rather embarrassed, with a strange sense of shyness.

In the bedroom, Luo Xiyan stood with her back to her, clapping her hands with a relaxed yet helpless expression, somewhat wistful.

"What a pity..."

"What's a pity? Everything's back to normal. How about we go for a walk together?"

Ling Mengxue beamed with joy, basking in the glow of happiness. Although she felt a little uneasy about her current attire, she was still in an exceptionally pleasant mood.

"Doesn't Xiaoxue want to do anything?"

"For example?"

Does a minor conflict count?

"?!"

Chapter Thirteen: A Big Show

Half an hour later--

In the hall, Su Xiaoxiao stood there all alone, waiting for quite a while without any movement. She began to wonder what the two of them had been doing during their absence.

Are you doing something inappropriate without her?

She was intently eavesdropping through the door, and what she was hearing really intrigued her!

Pshaw! There wasn't a sound at all!

How could I not hear it?

Have we been discovered?

Su Xiaoxiao guessed what was going on in her mind. With a creak, the door opened, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at Xi Yan, "Why did you take so long to get in?"

Eye contact!

A blatant hint!

Luo Xiyan's rosy cheeks were flushed with a faint blush, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her big eyes darted around. She didn't answer, remaining reserved, and walked away on her own.

"Why are you so shy? There are no outsiders here~" Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed softly, then became excited again, her eyes shining, and she peeked her head inside.

She swore something must have just happened!

A young woman and a lonely woman were alone together in a room; she couldn't believe nothing had happened.

Judging from the current situation, it's still unclear who has "won."

Before Su Xiaoxiao could see what was happening, a small, icy hand suddenly landed on her shoulder from behind, accompanied by a slightly weary voice, "Sister Xiao Xiao, let's go..."

"Xiaoxue?! Why didn't you use the main entrance?!" Su Xiaoxiao turned around, startled, and almost jumped out of her skin.

It's definitely not because I did anything wrong that I'm so nervous!

Ling Mengxue paid no attention to Su Xiaoxiao's reaction. She herself was already "numb" to it. Her delicate face was flushed red, almost as if it could drip blood. She swallowed her words and lowered her eyelashes slightly.

Su Xiaoxiao saw it all – the tenderness, shyness, and pity she felt!

Her eyes were wide open, and she stood motionless, stunned. In that moment, she seemed to have understood!

"Let's go..." Ling Mengxue turned around and urged, her voice trembling slightly, as if she didn't dare to look Su Xiaoxiao in the eye, feeling particularly shy.

"Okay!"

"It's the weekend, let's go somewhere later."

Luo Xiyan came out of the kitchen, beaming with joy, holding three different flavored ice creams in her hands. "Xiaoxue, what flavor do you want?"

"I..."

"I want the strawberry one!"

Upon hearing that there was ice cream, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she rushed forward first, raising her hands high.

Luo Xiyan dodged to the side, crossed her arms, and made a "meow" emoji, "Let Xiaoxue choose first."

"Ah? Xi Yan, you've changed, sob sob sob sob~ You weren't like this before~~" Su Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes and sobbed, looking so aggrieved that she seemed about to cry, each sob sob being uttered slowly and deliberately.

Look~ This time the child even squeezed out tears!??(ˊωˋ*)??

"Ahem... Xi Yan, give this to Sister Xiao Xiao, I'm fine with anything..."

Ling Mengxue easily saw through Su Xiaoxiao's acting, but felt a little helpless.

Having finally obtained what she had been longing for, Su Xiaoxiao immediately went from being angry to overjoyed, throwing herself into Ling Mengxue's arms in a bear hug and holding her tightly. "Waaah~ Xiaoxue, you're so good to me! Don't worry, I'll take you to eat 'Ice Cream Assassin' every day from now on!"

"... Actually, there's no need to be so enthusiastic..."

Ling Mengxue's smile was somewhat stiff.

The little girl still had a lot of tears in her eyes!

My clothes are all soaked!

Coming to her senses, Ling Mengxue remembered what had just happened, and her face flushed involuntarily. She raised her sleeve, covered her face slightly, and coughed lightly, "Xi... Xi Yan, you guys go first, I'll go to the restroom first..."

Luo Xiyan thought for a moment, and a bright smile appeared on her still somewhat childish face. "Do you need my help?"

"No need, no need, I'll be quick!"

Ling Mengxue smiled, but inwardly felt ashamed. Wasn't this all Xi Yan's doing?

She has to be extremely careful with every movement she makes now; it's so difficult, isn't it?

After taking a taxi, half an hour later, at the intersection of Lianyun Well Old Street in Yanjing Capital City, the driver glanced at the sign on the roadside, slowly pulled the car over, and said, "Little sister, you've arrived at your destination."

"Thanks."

The group got off the bus and arrived at the pedestrian street. The 'Lianyun Well' Old City District was rebuilt in the ancient style, preserving the original culture to the greatest extent. The wooden pavilions and red lanterns made it feel like stepping into a martial arts world.

At first glance, the streets were crowded with people, and there were many vendors hawking their wares, making it a very lively place.

Su Xiaoxiao roughly guessed that Luo Xiyan wanted to take Ling Mengxue to that place so they could have some fun, so she remained immersed in the pleasant atmosphere.

Su Xiaoxiao's gaze inadvertently swept over Ling Mengxue, and a sly smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She grabbed Ling's arm, leaned close, and whispered, "Xiaoxue, you've been walking strangely ever since we left the neighborhood, like you're not feeling well. You weren't... you know... did you?"

"?!"

Ling Mengxue didn't say anything, blushing and turning her face away.

A cunning little girl, asking a question she already knows the answer to!

Su Xiaoxiao didn't mind, covering her mouth and laughing, she raised her hand and patted her shoulder, "Little sister is so pure and cute, if she offered herself up, I wouldn't refuse her~"

"..."

Ling Mengxue: Sister, it seems like you have that serious illness?! (??)

As they walked down the street, passersby blushed and stared at them with amazement and curiosity.

As super popular idols, they were quickly recognized by people, or rather, recognized at first glance. They were so excited that they exclaimed in amazement. Some even rushed up with posters and clothes with them!

A die-hard fan, upon witnessing this, unknowingly dropped his skewers to the ground and jumped out to give a "lecture."

"Look everyone! Xiao Ge and her adorable friends (//?//), the mysterious world's ceiling Luo Xianyin, the legendary newcomer Xingxue, and the Immortal Sound Idols YYDS!!"

Goodness, I'm totally embarrassed!

This is an incredibly awkward situation that's going to affect the entire internet!

It was so sudden that many passersby were already discussing it animatedly, unable to take their eyes off it...

"Is that the 'Immortal Sound Idols'? I'm not seeing things, am I?!"

"Don't doubt your eyes, it's definitely that one!"

"I don't know what you guys are talking about, but it sounds really impressive. And this girl is so cute, is she like she stepped out of a painting?"

"As a complete bystander, I think the girls are beautiful and cute, so just go for it!!"

"Is this the legendary pinnacle of beauty? It's almost otherworldly, my heart has melted! Fellow warriors, see you again someday!"

"..."

"Sorry, we're busy right now~ Can we come back at the next fan meeting?"

Su Xiaoxiao seemed quite used to such small scenes. Soon, a flood of pedestrians made way for her, giving her their "stares," their eyes shining with admiration. The spectacle was indeed quite impressive...

[img=700,1041]htt [img=700,845]htt [img=652,469]htt Chapter Fourteen: "Wishes" - The Wish Tree

The three of them squeezed against the flow of people and soon arrived at the middle of the pedestrian street. Between a milk tea shop and a restaurant, there was an inconspicuous alley that looked very long at first glance.

With her hands behind her head, Su Xiaoxiao walked in leisurely, taking the lead and not forgetting to turn back and wink at the two of them.

Her actions resembled those of a seductive loli who forcibly activates a skill, but the two people behind her were basically immune and didn't make any moves, which left her a little "disappointed."

After turning a few corners and passing several houses, five minutes later, under an old sycamore tree, the branches were covered with prayer ribbons and wishing plaques. A gust of wind blew by, and the prayer ribbons fluttered in the wind. The wind chimes under the wishing plaques made a crisp sound. The red and green colors intertwined, and each beautiful wish seemed to shine brightly in the sunlight.

Ling Mengxue stepped closer and glanced at it curiously.

Teacher, could you please stop making me leave the classroom?

[Great Lord Barbatos, please bless my Kazuha with perfect accuracy and ten consecutive kills! I will surely offer you Dandelion Wine...]

[I want to marry 100 wives and watch them swim in bikinis, is that too much to ask?]

"..."

"That's a bit strange..."

The alley is surrounded by old buildings, all four or five stories high, and quite old. Each building has a row of signs on its walls, blending retro and modern technologies.

"Is this the convenience store? This location is so out of the way..." Ling Mengxue looked around and couldn't help but ask.

She believed that the two young ladies hadn't come all this way just to buy something. This convenience store, though it looked like one, was definitely not as simple as it seemed. There might even be a mysterious underground base hidden inside!

Ling Mengxue suddenly had a burst of inspiration, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Which boy doesn't love a cool, secret hideout?

There's a tree hollow in the park not far from my home when I was a child. If I go and take a look now, I bet it still holds a lot of traces of my youth.

There was no one at the convenience store counter; only a few elderly men and women were gathered around a small table near the entrance, playing cards and chatting happily.

"Uncle Zhang, why hasn't your grandson come to visit you in so long?"

"Oh dear! Don't even mention that brat, it makes me angry!" Old Zhang pursed his lips, looking utterly disappointed.

"What's wrong? I heard your grandson is quite something. Let me tell you, you should just stay here and enjoy your life!"

"Haha, I'm afraid I won't have that kind of luck~ If that kid brings me back a virgin, I'll be laughing in my sleep, and it'll also ward off his bad luck!"

Grandpa Zhang laughed heartily. As he was talking, he noticed someone had entered the shop. He casually placed his sign on the small table, stiffly stood up, and said, "I have to go now, I need to take care of this customer first. We'll continue later."

"My daughter's coming back tonight. She seems to really like your son. Why don't we find a chance for the two of them to talk things over?"

"Okay, we'll see."
