Travel: Guangzhou Arc (Eleven): The Black-Feathered Bird Advances

"Phew~ Finally back at the hotel..."

Xiao Ling lay sprawled on the bed, somewhat unwilling to move.

After leaving Qiuyuan's residence, Jinhsi escorted them to the alley entrance, bid them farewell, and returned to Baizhi's clinic.

Afterwards, Yangyang and the others dragged me around the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, buying all sorts of goods round after round, until it got late before the four of us returned to the hotel to rest.

Shopping with girls is indeed tiring, but the emotional value these girls bring far outweighs the physical exhaustion.

As for Mia, she had already settled into Lupa's room. The moment the little wolf saw Mia, it excitedly jumped up and rubbed its cheek against hers, its expression a mix of crying and laughing. This left Lupa unsure of what to do, unsure whether to move forward or backward. In the end, it took a long time of patient coaxing to calm Lupa down.

As for Dania and the others...

Xiao Ling took out her phone, unlocked it, and entered their private group chat, where they had already started exchanging messages.

Roccia: How does it feel, everyone? Does it need further optimization?

Lynae: I think it looks perfectly fine as it is, it already looks great!

Aemeath: Hmm... should we add some more special effects?

Dania: How about I create some foam myself?

Sigrika: No way, Yaya... If other people saw you could conjure bubbles out of thin air, they'd think it was really weird, right?

Dania: That makes sense.

Chisa:... I'm quite interested in that tall tower behind us.

Morning: Chisa, are you referring to the Guangzhou Tower? It's said that its structural system is unique on this planet; even I find it hard to imagine that a tower could be built like that...

The group chat is full of messages, mostly photos and check-ins shared by the girls who went out to play. Occasionally, new members like Yangyang will join in the conversation.

Xiao Ling was lurking in the group chat watching them talk until Little Ai called out to her.

Aemeath: Speaking of which, I still feel a little disappointed that A-Yu didn't come with us...

Aemeath: @Xiao Ling

Aemeath: A-Yu! How was your rest at the hotel?

Xiao Ling: Not bad, the bed is soft and comfortable, I can sleep well.

Dania: Do you need me to bring you back some late-night snacks?

Xiao Ling: If it's a late-night snack that Miss Dania brought back herself, then it's my honor.

Yangyang: I still have some food left over, Xiao Yu, if you don't mind...

Xiao Ling: No need, I'm not hungry right now. Thank you Yangyang, for your concern.

Clearly, the moment Xiao Ling makes a move, everyone's attention immediately shifts to him.

Since meeting them, he has come to understand what it feels like to be cared for every day.

After chatting with the girls for a while, Hajiling got ready to get down to business.

"Let me log in and do my daily quests first~"

Xiao Ling got out of bed, walked to her laptop, and turned it on to prepare to log on to Wuthering Waves.

Knock knock knock.

Hmm? Who would come looking for him at this time?

Xiao Ling arrived at the entrance hall, opened the door, and stood there, surprisingly, Yangyang, who had already changed her clothes.

Wearing a blue sports vest and denim shorts, her delicate skin and graceful waistline were fully captured by his eyes.

You see, the shopkeeper's main tactic is to keep a low profile; you only realize how well-endowed she is when she wears clothes that accentuate her figure.

"Yangyang, you even brought food?" Xiao Ling chuckled when she saw the food in her hand. "Come in, just put the food on the table."

"Excuse me." Yangyang stepped in.

She looked around and found that Xiao Ling's room was surprisingly tidy. His clothes from yesterday had been washed and hung in the closet, and his open suitcase was neatly filled with various clothes. It seemed that there was almost no place that needed to be tidied up.

Yangyang was a little disappointed. She had thought she would have a chance to help Xiao Ling tidy up his clothes, but that wasn't surprising, since he was always meticulous in everything he did.

"I thought you went out with Aemeath and the others." Yangyang moved a chair and sat down next to Xiao Ling, her light blue eyes gazing at his profile.

"I was out all day, so I didn't really feel like moving around in the evening." Xiao Ling chuckled and looked at Yangyang. "Did you just take a shower?"

"Yeah, I was out all day and felt sticky and uncomfortable, so I took a shower."

Xiao Ling nodded, then returned her gaze to the computer screen and began operating her character to perform a daily routine activity.

A moment later, something touched the corner of his mouth. He turned his head and saw Yangyang smiling at him, holding a piece of pastry she had made.

Ah~

Xiao Ling smiled and swallowed the pastry in one gulp.

"Is there a feeding service?" he asked with a faint smile.

"It's a return gift for this afternoon," Yangyang said with a playful smile.

Without saying a word, Xiao Ling picked up a piece of pastry and brought it to the other person's lips. "It's quite delicious, you should try some too."

Yangyang returned a bright smile, then took a bite of the pastry.

"It really is delicious!" she nodded.

"Right~"

The two enjoyed a short, intimate feeding time with the homemade pastries until the box was empty.

"Ah, that's all..." Yangyang pouted a little, looking at the empty box.

She wants to come back a few more times...

"The hotel doesn't have a kitchen. Next time we go somewhere with a kitchen, I'll make some of my specialty pastries for you to try. I promise you'll eat your fill," Xiao Ling said, ruffling the other person's hair and grinning.

"Okay, I'll remember that!"

Xiao Ling chuckled twice, then turned her attention back to the game.

Yangyang sat quietly beside him, watching him dominate the game.

"Speaking of which, KG headquarters is holding a carnival soon, Yangyang, do you guys want to go?"

"Kg... Ah, is that the company that makes Wuthering Waves Games? Carnival... is it the same as the carnival in Rinascita?"

"The nature is quite different. Carnivals are national celebrations, while these kinds of carnivals have a specific target audience," Xiao Ling said with a smile. "However, the level of excitement shouldn't be much different."

"Sure, but I need to talk to my sister about it, since this wasn't part of our planned trip."

"It's alright, I'll make room for you."

After finalizing the matter, Yangyang and Xiao Ling began to chat about their recent lives. Occasionally, hearty laughter and silvery chuckles could be heard from their conversation, which must have been a very pleasant one.

"Asleep..."

Xiao Ling looked at Yangyang, who had fallen asleep on his shoulder at some point, and chuckled helplessly.

Perhaps she was tired from running around all day; she must have worked so hard.

He temporarily put aside the game he was playing, Xiao Ling up Yangyang in a princess carry, and walked towards the bed.

After gently placing the already sleeping Miss Yangyang on the bed, Hajiling chivalrously tucked her in and lightly stroked her delicate sleeping face.

"Goodnight~" he chuckled softly, gently saying goodnight to the sleeping Black-Feathered Bird.

A smile suddenly appeared on Yangyang's previously calm face, as if in response to Xiao Ling's gentle words.
