“This is the bodyguard I found for you. How about it～ Touched～”
Xia Xi put his hands on his hips, tilted his head up, and stared at Bai Xiaocha, looking very proud.
It’s just… his neck felt a little sore.
Darn it, why did he have to be a tiny figure? If he were a life-sized figure, wouldn’t he be exactly like the real virtual singer Hatsune Miku? At least then he wouldn’t have to look up at people like this.
“Wow!”
Bai Xiaocha covered her mouth with both hands, really touched.
She never expected that not only did the little princess not blame her for losing him, but he even found a cat to protect her.
“Pfft～”
Xia Yue overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but laugh.
“Xiaocha, I called you silly, and you really are silly. Look at that cat’s expression, it’s obviously Hatsune Miku’s own bodyguard.”
Bai Xiaocha immediately looked down, and sure enough, the tabby cat with a scar on its face was staring intently at Xia Xi with a serious expression.
Although Xia Xi said it was Bai Xiaocha’s bodyguard, the truth was it didn’t care about Bai Xiaocha at all and was instead focused on Xia Xi the whole time.
Anyone with eyes could see whose bodyguard this cat really was.
Bai Xiaocha wasn’t actually that silly; after seeing this, she realized the little princess was messing with her.
But so what?
The fact that the little princess was willing to use this kind of talk to mess with her meant he really had that thought in mind. It’s the thought that counts, right? Hmph, not everyone gets to be teased by her little princess～
“I really, really like you!”
As Xia Xi looked on in confusion, Bai Xiaocha grabbed him and hugged him tightly, then kept rubbing him back and forth against her flat chest.
It smelled nice, but honestly, there wasn’t much sensation.
“Put me down, put me down!”
Because there weren’t many curves, Xia Xi was pressed too tightly against Bai Xiaocha, making it hard for him to breathe.
Strange, why did he, as a figure, even need to breathe?
“Oh, oh, sorry, sorry, I got too excited.”
Xia Xi had no idea what was going on in this little girl Bai Xiaocha’s head. Suddenly she’d blurt out that she really liked him and then pull him into a hug, leaving him no time to react. How was he supposed to dodge a move with zero startup frames?
Ding ding ding!
The teacher on the podium saw Bai Xiaocha’s crazy antics clearly. The teacher couldn’t see Xia Xi hidden behind the textbook, but she clearly saw Bai Xiaocha hugging a toy to her chest.
The classroom was very quiet; if not for the teacher’s loud lecturing voice, others might have heard Xia Xi talking.
But even if they heard, it probably wouldn’t matter. Others would likely think it was Xia Yue whispering to Bai Xiaocha. After all, who in their right mind would imagine a toy figure could talk and move like a real person?
“Class dismissed. Xiaocha, don’t forget what you promised me～”
The teacher was professional enough not to keep them after class. As soon as the bell rang, she stopped mid-sentence, picked up her books, and walked out of the classroom.
The moment the teacher stepped out, the quiet classroom atmosphere suddenly changed, becoming noisier than a morning market.
“I know, I know. Let’s go to the school store～”
Bai Xiaocha certainly wouldn’t go back on her word. How much could a few snacks cost? As a little rich girl, she had plenty of money!
The two stood up and walked out of the classroom, not forgetting to take Xia Xi with them. Who knew where this moving figure might run off to if they left him alone for even a short while, especially since he had a cat as a mount and could move very fast.
“Hey! You two are going to the store, why are you taking me? I want to go back to the drawer and sleep!”
There really wasn’t much to do after turning into a figure at school; sleeping was the only pastime.
If a figure moved around in front of people, it would definitely get caught by some kid, or seen by a teacher and taken away for research.
Besides, right now he looked like Hatsune Miku, the world’s number one princess, super famous!
“In a bit, I’ll treat you to some chocolate beans～”
Bai Xiaocha’s words shut Xia Xi up.
For some reason, after becoming a Hatsune Miku figure, Xia Xi really loved snacking. Otherwise, as an adult man, he wouldn’t have been unable to resist the temptation of the snacks in the drawer and ended up eating them all for Bai Xiaocha.
The knife followed behind the two girls and one figure, like a little sidekick.
Seriously, since Sister Sanhua was willing to teach him shapeshifting, he definitely had to seize this opportunity and not miss out.
Although in his eyes, these two-legged creatures were no different from servants, just poop scoopers, becoming a two-legged creature would clearly make him stronger, giving him more deterrence in front of other cats and allowing him to be the boss again.
“Meow meow meow!”
(Boss, wait for me!)
…..
On the other side, at Lin Xueling’s house.
Lin Xueling, An Xiaoyu, and Luo Xinyu stared in silence at a piece of black cake on a plate in front of them.
“Um, my stomach suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable. I’m going to the bathroom.”
An Xiaoyu tried to escape first.
But the moment she took a step, the other two girls simultaneously reached out and grabbed her shoulders.
“Xiaoyu, I think the cake your Sister Xinyu made should be really delicious. Why don’t you try a piece～”
Lin Xueling’s sweet smile looked to An Xiaoyu like a little devil.
Who would advise someone to eat something that looked like that!
“Yeah, yeah, Xiaoyu, do you dislike me～”
Luo Xinyu’s eyes were watery, looking pitiful. Who knew where she learned these manipulative tricks.
Xia Xi: Why are you looking at me? I’m a grown man, what manipulative skills do I have?
Bai Xiaocha: Mr. Ghost, are my skills useful?
Under the expectant gazes of Lin Xueling and Luo Xinyu, An Xiaoyu finally made up her mind. She picked up the plate of little black cake, brought it to her mouth, and took a tiny bite.
Whatever, if she died, she died. At worst, she’d go to the hospital to accompany her mother!
As her throat moved, An Xiaoyu lowered her head, her bangs covering her eyes, making her expression unreadable.
“How is it? How is it? Xiaoyu, say something.”
Lin Xueling was even more anxious than Luo Xinyu, the maker herself, since she had personally taught Luo Xinyu step by step how to make this little cake.
She didn’t know why, but any food she had a hand in making, even if it looked normal, always tasted like terrible cooking.
Now, after her guidance, the little cake Luo Xinyu made was also pitch black. She wondered if An Xiaoyu would get a stomachache after eating it.
“This is really… this is really…”
An Xiaoyu clenched her fists tightly, gritting her teeth…
