Chapter 51: Inquiry
When Night Star woke up, she realized it was already dark outside.
“Hmm… Did I actually fall asleep?”
Whenever Night Star was around Luo Xi, she felt super relaxed.
So much so that her already sleepy self became even sleepier.
She would always drift off as soon as Luo Xi started stroking her hair.
And this also had an impact on Night Lan, who was on the other side.
Night Lan had just woken up at the Night Watcher Base.
It seemed Luo Xi had some kind of magical power that was more effective than any sleeping pill.
With her around, Night Star could probably sleep soundly in any situation.
She was basically the sleeping beauty tea, kora.
No surprises here.
Luo Xi must have carried her back from the park.
What a trooper.
But what was Luo Xi up to now?
Since she wasn’t in the room, she must be outside.
Night Star shuffled out of bed and into the living room, discovering a spread of warm dishes on the table that instantly made her mouth water.
“Whoa… I’m hungry.”
Just then, the black-haired Luo Xi walked out of the kitchen, expressionless as she placed a plate on the table.
“You’re hungry, right? Dig in.”
“Mm-mm! Thank you~”
Night Star dove right into the food, chomping down like a champ.
“By the way, haven’t your siblings come back tonight? It’s so quiet at home.”
“They’re working overtime tonight.”
“Ah, I see.”
Although it felt a bit mean to think this way, Night Star was secretly delighted that her siblings were working late.
That meant it was another night for just the two of them.
With only two people in the house, they could do whatever they wanted without a care in the world.
Meanwhile, back at the Night Watcher Base in Yun Chang City…
Night Lan and the others had just returned from headquarters.
Star Sheng and the others couldn’t come back with them since they still had to go through systematic training at headquarters to grow up rapidly and be fully independent.
So Night Lan could only silently cheer them on from the sidelines.
Now, Neko Shinna was busy making a midnight snack for her.
Night Lan hadn’t even had dinner before crashing.
By nighttime, she was feeling hungrier than ever.
And oh look, Eypar had decided to join the fun too.
With Night Lan’s permission, this papaya ghost had taken a mini vacation, giving her a break from being a ghostly worker for a while and letting her wander around the base.
“Night Lan~ You finally gave Eypar a day off! If you keep exploiting Ghost Girls like this, she’ll definitely d*e for the second time~”
Eypar floated around Night Lan, her tone filled with pity and complaints.
Night Lan casually tugged at her silly hair, not really bothered.
“Just for this special period, but when I get my memory back, you’ll still need to go back to being a ghost worker.”
“Well, in that case, Night Lan should stay amnesiac! Eypar doesn’t mind, boohoo~”
“Not happening.”
Night Lan chuckled, finding it hilarious to tease Eypar in her spare time.
Not chasing this clingy ghost girl away was definitely the right choice.
She was the perfect flavor enhancer in life.
At that moment, Neko Shinna completed the midnight snack.
As the table filled up with delicious dishes, Night Lan couldn’t wait to dig in.
After all, with Night Star feasting over there, it was impossible for Night Lan not to be affected.
She had been drooling this whole time, and it was just unbearable.
Once Neko Shinna finished preparing the food, Night Lan finally stopped holding back.
Time to feast!
Of course, she was the only one who was gorging herself.
White Fish and the others had already had dinner and didn’t have a habit of late-night snacks, so they just watched Night Lan with faint smiles.
After Night Lan filled up her belly, it was time for a walk.
White Fish and the others accompanied Night Lan for a stroll.
The group of girls walking down the street attracted a lot of attention.
Night Lan strolled contentedly, her mind drifting off to other thoughts.
Calculating the time now…
She had been in the future for almost a week.
One week isn’t particularly long or short.
The Wish Princess was slowly recovering.
If all went well, she would wake up in the coming week.
It really was just a week.
Strangely, it was less difficult to grant wishes about Kuro.
This indicated that, at this stage, Source of White was more powerful than Source of Kuro.
Who knew if the Wish Princess would be able to hold her own after waking up?
Even if she couldn’t hold her own, she could at least defend herself.
Worst case, she could just run away with the Wish Princess.
That was Night Lan’s instinctive survival mode.
Even now, she was still thinking about running away when things got tough!
But then again…
Ever since Night Star met and moved in with Luo Xi, her initial motivation to find Source of White had significantly dwindled.
She had originally been curious about Source of White’s appearance, which was why she impulsively came to the future.
But now that she had met the new legally adorable loli—Luo Xi…
Night Star was starting to think that Source of White didn’t seem so necessary after all.
New loli Luo Xi was more than enough to satisfy her desires.
Even if Source of White was cute, she probably wouldn’t shake her heart anymore.
So, there was no rush.
In this future, there was a ready-made girlfriend, and a maternal loli with three no’s to snuggle with.
Once she got back to her original time, she would just need to rebuild that relationship.
It was like reversing roles.
In the future, Night Star needed to adapt to Luo Xi’s feelings.
And in the past, Luo Xi needed to adapt to the feelings Night Star brought back from the future.
Would it go smoothly?
No matter how you slice it, as long as Night Star was willing, everything would turn up just fine.
She wasn’t a pushover!
And the Wish Princess definitely wasn’t a pushover!
Just then, a petite figure with short black hair blocked their path.
It was none other than the Announcer from the Rising Sun Theater Group—Mo Rabbit!
Mo Rabbit smiled as she looked at Night Lan and her friends.
“Lovely ladies, may I borrow Night Lan for a bit? I have something to discuss with her.”
Switching scenes…
On the rooftop of the base, Night Lan gazed at the neon-lit skyline and asked Mo Rabbit beside her.
“What do you want with me? Did you find a lead on Source of White?”
“Not exactly, I just wanted to ask one simple question.”
“What question?”
“Do you ever think about staying in this future forever?”
Night Lan’s expression slightly froze as she almost didn’t register the question.
“Are you crazy? If I don’t go back, what will happen to the original world?”
“Honestly, it doesn’t matter. Characters in both worlds are the same. Why not just skip the effort and enjoy the outcome? Isn’t that very fitting for your lazy dog personality?”
“Not a chance! I want to go back to experience the process. Just enjoying the result doesn’t give me peace at all.”
Night Lan stared at Mo Rabbit, puzzled.
“By the way, why do you have this weird idea? Do you not want the current me to leave?”
Mo Rabbit’s expression didn’t change.
“Maybe, possibly, I just think it would be quite fun.”
“Huh… Just like you.”
Night Lan assumed it was just Mo Rabbit’s playful mindset at work and didn’t think too much of it.
“Well, that’s it then. If you don’t have any other questions, I’ll be hitting the hay.”
“Okay.”
After Night Lan left, Mo Rabbit stared blankly at the dazzling night view before finally snapping back to reality.
“Am I being controlled again…?”
