Chapter 51 – So Hard to Resist
Right behind Bai Yuan was this timeline’s White Paint, a fourteen-year-old loli!
Ye Qingya was instantly smitten!
Bai Yuan brought White Paint, whose face remained calm, to Ye Qingya and introduced her: “As you see, this is my eldest daughter, White Paint. She just turned fourteen, and joined the Night Watchers through my recommendation. Now she acts by my side. Ye Qingya, you should know her, right?”
Ye Qingya solemnly nodded.
“Yeah!”
The loli White Paint curiously observed the black-haired girl her age without immediately speaking. She looked quite aloof.
But Ye Qingya knew White Paint’s personality—cold on the outside but warm inside. Typical frosty exterior, fiery heart. Going straight for her might do the trick!
But first, she had to reintroduce herself properly; otherwise, approaching as a stranger would make her look like a weirdo.
“White Paint senior recommended me to join the Night Watchers.”
Bai Yuan understood.
“So that makes sense. It seems we have quite the connection.”
White Paint: “Huh?”
Upon hearing this, White Paint felt puzzled.
Why did Ye Qingya mention her?
White Paint senpai?
She had only recently joined, so how could she be called a senpai already?
White Paint felt rather confused.
Ye Qingya looked away from White Paint and asked Bai Yuan, “Uncle Bai Yuan, where’s White Fish?”
“White Fish’s body is still weak, recovering at the headquarters. The new star also needs long-term observation. Me and White Paint visit her regularly every week. Sorry I couldn’t bring her along. Speaking of which, she’s been wanting to see you. If she knew you reappeared, she’d probably be dying to see you again.”
Ye Qingya let out a sigh and smiled. “Better not tell her then. Let her get better, that’s fine.”
“Alright.”
Then, White Paint tugged gently at Bai Yuan’s sleeve and asked, “Dad, who’s this?”
Bai Yuan patted White Paint’s head and said, “She’s our benefactor, Ye Qingya. Your sister survived because of her.”
“Ye Qingya?”
White Paint finally remembered.
Her dad and sister often mentioned that someone showed up years ago, helping her sickly sister meet her mother before she passed away, giving her sister a new life.
Although White Paint wasn’t there at the time, she always wanted to meet this person.
She never thought she’d actually see them one day, a girl about her age.
White Paint was surprised. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.
“You’re Ye Qingya?”
“Mmm-hm~”
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing.”
Seeing young White Paint look up to her so much, Ye Qingya thought it was kind of odd.
But now, Young White Paint was so cute she couldn’t think of her as a senpai anymore.
Bai Yuan added, “I plan to groom White Paint quickly. She’ll become a Night Watcher soon. So she’ll stay with me, as a protector for Blank Songstress. Given you’ve joined too, make the most of this time.”
Ye Qingya tilted her head.
Working with White Paint on missions? Sounds pretty nice actually.
If there’s a fight, Uncle Bai Yuan can take the front, while she and White Paint cheer from behind.
Young White Paint only appears during this period. In the future, she might never see her again.
Time to get close, then!
Since Ye Qingya can’t help her loli obsession.
“Hmm…?”
White Paint looked at an eager Ye Qingya with some suspicion. She felt like she was being watched.
But the girl seemed so adorable. Probably not a weirdo?
Whatever, White Paint was set to repay Ye Qingya’s kindness.
White Fish was her favorite sister. As her savior, White Paint vowed to pay her back in spades.
“I’ve got something to do first. Talk amongst yourselves.”
After bringing White Paint, Bai Yuan left.
It wasn’t cool for him to eavesdrop on two loli’s conversations, so he let them chat freely.
Besides, preparing for Blank Songstress was important.
People with shady motives like seeking wealth or causing chaos, or even crazed worship could target her.
Ordinary forces were no match for Night Watchers, but high-tech equipped groups were a tougher nut to crack.
And under the surface of peace, countless dark forces lurked. Collecting star holders isn’t solely a Night Watcher thing. Many powerful private companies studied this magical power too.
Who knows if these forces knew Blank Songstress possessed an extraordinary star? Targeting her was quite normal.
Anyone with ambitions would desire such power.
Bai Yuan knew some star holders could be his enemies, so protecting Blank Songstress from harm was crucial.
He had to protect Ye Qingya and White Paint too.
His daughter, White Paint, will eventually take over his role as a Night Watcher.
And any father wants to show off cool stuff in front of their adorable daughter, right?
Just to earn more adoration.
Once Bai Yuan left, Ye Qingya and White Paint began chatting.
“Why do you want to be a Night Watcher?”
“Because I want to be like Dad. Only then can I protect White Fish.”
White Paint inherited her star from Bai Yuan, while White Fish inherited hers from Ye Qingya.
Bai Yuan protected Ye Qingya, and now White Paint protects White Fish. They carry the family legacy.
Ye Qingya envied such family bonds.
Protecting loved ones and becoming strong—it’s simply awesome.
“Do you like White Fish a lot?”
“Yes, the most.”
“Oh~”
Ye Qingya covered her mouth, openly expressing love for her sister. How adorable is Senior White Paint!
How much she wanted to hug and squeeze little White Paint!
But to avoid scaring her, Ye Qingya had to suppress her loli fandom.
Plus, no need to go overboard. She didn’t want to give current White Paint bad memories.
Yes, just regular chitchat.
After getting full, Ye Qingya roamed around with White Paint.
As night fell, it was time to settle down for rest.
Just as Ye Qingya pondered sleeping with Ye Qingya tonight, White Paint suddenly asked:
“Yelan, where are you staying?”
“At the Night Watcher base, nope…”
“How about staying with me?”
White Paint looked earnest in inviting her.
Though her tone and expression were neutral, Ye Qingya sensed her enthusiasm.
Mmmm~ So hard to resist!
