Wow~~A Shooting Star!

"Boss! I'm back! Guga!"

Lin Xiao, who had been shopping, heard Fat Guga's shout and instinctively turned around.

"Holy crap! Where did you kidnap a person from?!"

Seeing everyone around them looking over.

Lin Xiao's eyelid twitched, and he hurriedly dragged Ning Rongrong and Fat Guga toward an empty corner.

"Fat Guga, put her down first."

"Okay, Boss!"

Obediently, Fat Guga tossed Zhu Zhuqing from atop her head onto the ground.

"Thud—smack!"

"Ow!"

Zhu Zhuqing rolled across the ground and landed sprawled out, tears of pain streaming from her eyes.

"..."

Lin Xiao grabbed Fat Guga's chubby little cheek and pulled.

"I told you to put her down, not throw her down."

"Mmmph... I was wrong, Boss!"

Fat Guga's face warped as her two tiny hands flailed.

When Lin Xiao let go, the two lumps of cheek meat promptly bounced back into place.

"Tell me what happened. Don't tell me you were bored and decided to play kidnapping."

Fat Guga explained how she had eaten fried chicken without paying, then thrown someone into the sky.

The more Lin Xiao listened, the more absurd it sounded.

Good lord, he had heard before that even Evil Fat Gugas came in different varieties.

Some merely snatched food, while others formed gangs to collect protection money. Some even used grenades to rob banks.

A few Evil Fat Gugas were simply little demons. He never would have imagined that he had one under his command.

"What about the person you threw? Are they all right?"

"Don't worry, Boss. Guga held back."

"Sigh..."

Lin Xiao sighed and took two gold coins from his pocket.

"Go pay for the fried chicken. It's not like we don't have money.

"If your hands are itching for trouble, I'll take you to mess with Tang San and the others later. You can do whatever you want to them."

"Gugugaga!"

Fat Guga's eyes lit up. She snatched the gold coins into her little hands and ran back the way she had come.

Nearby, Ning Rongrong and Maid Guga crouched in front of Zhu Zhuqing, two pairs of curious eyes staring at her without blinking.

Zhu Zhuqing did not dare move, afraid that this penguin in a skirt would throw her into the sky.

Lin Xiao walked over helplessly and asked:

"Sorry, Fat Guga's occupational habit acted up. Your sister will at most be unconscious for a few days; it's nothing serious. What's your name? I'll take you home."

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing... I'm from the Zhu Family..."

Zhu Zhuqing timidly raised her little face, but the moment she saw Maid Guga, her whole body began to tremble.

Zhu Zhuqing?!

Good lord, Fat Guga really knew how to kidnap someone! She had actually brought her here.

Still, their first meeting did not seem particularly friendly.

As Lin Xiao thought this, he noticed Zhu Zhuqing trembling all over.

He was immediately puzzled.

Following her gaze, it seemed that she was afraid of Guga?

Lin Xiao tentatively carried Maid Guga behind him.

Zhu Zhuqing immediately stopped trembling.

Then he carried Maid Guga back in front of Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing began trembling again.

"..."

Well, Fat Guga had given her psychological trauma.

"Don't be afraid. Not every Guga is like Fat Guga. Look how cute she is, and she feels great too. If you don't believe me, touch her."

Lin Xiao held Maid Guga and brought her closer to Zhu Zhuqing.

Maid Guga tilted her head. Her large round eyes blinked as she let out a soft, sweet call.

"Guga?"

"That's right! Guga is cute! She's so comfortable to hug while sleeping!"

Ning Rongrong eagerly agreed as well, her eyes curving into crescents while her little hands continuously stroked Maid Guga's belly.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a long while.

Looking at Maid Guga's soft, adorable little face.

She cautiously stretched out her small hand and placed it on Maid Guga's head.

A fluffy sensation traveled through her palm.

It seemed... really comfortable, even more comfortable than the doll her sister had given her.

Her taut nerves gradually relaxed. Zhu Zhuqing broke into a radiant smile, and her hand began vigorously rubbing Guga's soft little head.

"How is it? Not scary, right?"

Lin Xiao asked with a smile.

"Mm-hmm!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded hard. Her previous fear had long been cast aside as both hands rubbed Guga's fur back and forth, unwilling to let go.

Maid Guga's head swayed from side to side as she was kneaded. She did not resist at all, instead squinting comfortably and making soft little hums.

Watching from the side, Lin Xiao could not help sighing to himself.

This little girl really was easy to placate.

One soft, adorable thing was enough to make them forget their unhappiness.

But just then.

A sharp whistling sound came from above their heads.

"Ah!!!"

A scream drew closer and closer.

"Bang!!"

With the sound of something heavy crashing down, dust immediately filled the alley.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Lin Xiao and the others coughed uncontrollably from the dust.

When the dust settled, they saw an armored soldier planted upper-body-first into the ground like a radish, his exposed feet still twitching nonstop.

"What the Gugugaga? Didn't we just agree not to fight? Why did another one fly over here?"

Lin Xiao hurried forward, pulled him out, and checked him over.

He had fainted from fright, and there were indeed no injuries on him.

But was that even reasonable?!

He was fine after that?!

Sheesh... the abilities of gag characters really made no sense.

This simply defied physics. If Newton saw it, he would be kicking his coffin lid wildly and begging Fat Guga to explain the principles to him in an episode.

"Wow! Brother Lin Xiao, look! There's a shooting star in the sky!"

Ning Rongrong pointed at the sky excitedly.

"A shooting star?"

Lin Xiao and Zhu Zhuqing looked up.

They saw blurry black dots shooting straight into the clouds one after another, with faint screams drifting down.

"They're probably all soldiers like this one. Zhuqing, do you know them?"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded her little head.

"Mm-hmm, they're guards from our Zhu Family. They should have come looking for me."

Lin Xiao slapped his forehead.

He immediately understood what had happened.

"Guga! Boss! I'm back again!"

Fat Guga bounced over.

"Boss, you have no idea, just now..."

"Stop! Let me guess. A bunch of armored people tried to capture you, so you threw them all into the sky, right?"

"Boss, you're amazing! You guessed it, Guga!"

Fat Guga puffed out her round little belly with a smug expression.

"They captured Guga, and then Guga couldn't pay back the money, so Guga sent them all into the sky, Guga."

Lin Xiao's mouth twitched.

What a solution—if you could not solve the problem, solve the people causing it.

"Cough, cough. This is no place to stay. Run for it!"

Lin Xiao was about to go find Gu Rong. After running only a few steps, he suddenly turned back.

He reached out and removed an exquisite silver-trimmed hair clip from Maid Guga's hair.

Taking Zhu Zhuqing's hand, he placed the hair clip into her palm.

"Consider this an apology. We'll meet again if fate allows."

Zhu Zhuqing froze slightly. Her fingertips still retained a trace of the hair clip's cool touch. Looking down at the item in her hand, she forgot to speak for a moment.

Only after the two humans and two geese disappeared down the street did Zhu Zhuqing come back to herself.

"Zhuqing! Zhuqing, where are you?!"

An urgent cry came from the distance. It was Zhu Zhuyun's voice.

"Big Sister! I'm here!"

Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly called back.

Several figures rushed over. Zhu Zhuyun ran to her side, carefully looking Zhu Zhuqing over from head to toe, her face full of worry.

"Thank goodness we found you. You scared your sister to death. That rotten penguin didn't do anything to you, did she?"
