Chapter 98: Wiping Tears with Rabbit Ears
Su Miantang: “Because there is someone who was harmed even more deeply by him, and they must be the one to deal with him personally.”
So, it wasn’t that she wanted him for herself.
Who was this person who had been harmed even more deeply?
It sounded like they were very important to her.
Yue Zhongxian’s brow furrowed slightly.
“Fine.”
Isphine withdrew her hand.
“I’ll listen to my savior. Letting him die just like this would indeed be too easy on him. Once there’s a result on his disposal, you must tell me!”
“Mm-hmm.”
“Then let’s take a photo together?”
Isphine pulled out her lightbrain.
“I want to record this beautiful moment and post it on my social media account. First, to let my fans know I’m safe, and second, to celebrate my narrow escape today, the successful destruction of the Shadow Robot Organization, and meeting my savior and all of you good friends!”
“Okay!”
Yue Ling posed cooperatively. Su Miantang, keeping Queen Janie’s words in mind about hiding her identity as much as possible, felt that appearing on a galactic superstar’s social media account was too high-profile, so she only showed one hand.
“Ah, it didn’t turn out well. Miantang, you stand in the middle.”
Isphine reached out to pull Su Miantang over, but Yue Zhongxian seamlessly separated them without leaving a trace.
“There’s no need, right?”
“Sister is so beautiful; exposing her on a major social media account will bring her a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
An SSSS-grade female… the number of people coveting her would probably fill an entire planet, wouldn’t it?
“True.”
Isphine nodded.
Su Miantang looked at the youth beside her.
Such a thoughtful Xiao Erduo shouldn’t continue to wander.
“Miantang, let’s take a few photos privately later and keep them in a hidden album. I promise not to leak them!”
Yue Ling: “Include me!”
The three females began taking photos in the vast castle—various angles, various poses. It wasn’t until half an hour later that Duchess Hillary called them to a halt.
“Ling’er, you’re too playful. You’ve forgotten to properly entertain the guests.”
“Miss Su Miantang, Miss Isphine, it’s getting late. You must be very exhausted. I have arranged rooms for you; I’ll have the attendants show you there shortly.”
“Sure!”
Isphine agreed immediately, but Su Miantang declined.
“Thank you for your kindness, Duchess, but I must head back.”
“Head back?” Everyone asked in unison. “So soon? You just arrived. Why not stay for a couple of days?”
“Tomorrow is Monday; I have to go to work.”
Moreover, if she disappeared for too long, the males by her side would worry.
Fortunately, before coming here, she had posted a status saying “sleeping in for the weekend,” so she shouldn’t have been disturbed. But if she didn’t show up during working hours and couldn’t be reached via lightbrain, they would definitely become suspicious.
“Miantang, you’re far too diligent! Never mind going to work, you’re even so punctual.”
“I just met you, I haven’t had enough fun yet~”
Yue Ling and Isphine walked over, clinging to her arms on either side.
Yue Zhongxian silently walked behind her.
Although Duchess Hillary really wanted her to stay, she could understand. If their country produced an SSSS-grade female, let alone leaving the planet, she would be worried even if she just stepped out the door.
Besides, her son seemed to have his own ways of staying by her side.
“It’s okay. When I’m on holiday, I’ll come to visit you, or you all can come to the Central Star.”
“It’s a deal!”
“Miantang, once this interstellar tour is over, I must take you to the sea. There is so much fine wine, beautiful scenery, and handsome males there. I guarantee you’ll love it!”
The three said their reluctant goodbyes. As she was about to board the flyer, Su Miantang looked at Yue Zhongxian. “Xiao Erduo, do you still want to continue wandering?”
The meaning of this sentence was…
“No!”
The youth immediately looked up, his eyes bright and clear.
He knew it.
She would take him with her!
“Yue Ling.” To his surprise, the young girl turned directly to Yue Ling. “Can I ask you for a favor?”
“Miantang, why are you being so polite with me? Never mind just one favor, even ten or a hundred—as long as you need it, I will do my absolute best!”
“Good. Xiao Erduo is smart, kind, attentive, and diligent. Can you help arrange a stable job for him here on Moon Comet?”
What?
As the words fell.
The air instantly froze.
Yue Ling’s expression froze.
The light in Yue Zhongxian’s eyes also froze.
She… didn’t intend to take him with her?
W-what should she do? Yue Ling was so embarrassed she started scratching her head. She regretted agreeing so quickly; her brother was going to strangle her!
Brother?
She wanted to sneak a look at him for help, but she unexpectedly witnessed a terrifying scene that made her whole body shiver.
“?”
Su Miantang followed her gaze in confusion, only to see…
On the head of the youth beside her, two snowy white, fluffy long ears had actually popped out. The ears drooped slightly over his beautiful face, just in time to wipe away the large, crystal-clear teardrops that were welling up and rolling down from his honey-tea colored eyes.
“Sister doesn’t want me anymore.”
“You…”
He actually cried!
And he even used his ears to wipe his tears!
This was totally playing foul.
Su Miantang’s heart was instantly gripped; she was so tight-chested she couldn’t speak.
She didn’t know if she was overwhelmed by the cuteness or startled.
Yue Ling: “…” Brother, don’t be like this, I’m scared!
Isphine: “…” Suddenly I get the appeal of a younger guy! Being bullied to tears while calling her “Sister”—it’s just too much!
Duchess Hillary: “…” Mm, as expected of my son.
“I didn’t.”
“You did. You’re going to abandon me.”
Yue Zhongxian lowered his head, his “pearls” dropping one by one. Su Miantang was so panicked she quickly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe them for him.
“Does Sister also look down on my status? Just like everyone else, thinking I’m…”
“No!” Su Miantang interrupted him. “I just thought, you’re a native of Moon Comet and grew up here. Staying here would be better for you.”
“I don’t want to.”
Yue Zhongxian shook his head, clutching her hand tightly while weeping. That slightly red, broken gaze would make anyone’s heart ache.
“I don’t want to stay on Moon Comet. Everyone here is a bad person!”
“Right, right…”
Yue Ling was scared witless and stammered in agreement.
“In the Moon Comet system, the status of males is indeed very low. Especially in a special case like his, he’ll face discrimination no matter where he works.”
“Sister, let me follow you to the Central Star, okay?”
“I only want to stay by your side.”
He pleaded with her in a sobbing, trembling, clear voice, using his fluffy long ears to gently rub against her palm, breaking down her defenses bit by bit.
“Doing laundry, cooking, sweeping, wiping windows… I can do everything.”
“Okay.”
Su Miantang had no resistance left and nodded.
“Really?”
In Yue Zhongxian’s moist eyes filled with tears, a flash of cunning brilliance flickered.
But he hadn’t finished his sentence yet.
He could indeed do anything, including “doing” her…
He stared at her intently. “Thank you, Sister. I will definitely work hard to survive on the Central Star and won’t hold Sister back!”
