LGHTNOVELBOOK 37: Not Wanting to Be Alone
The theater was completely quiet.
“Can you fix my puppet?”
“How will we know if we don’t try?”
“Then… please fix it.”
The puppeteer loli hesitated for a moment but slowly handed over the puppet that had been broken into two pieces.
Ye Xing carefully took it and examined it briefly.
It looked like a very simple puppet, not finely crafted. Compared to puppets of this era, it was worlds apart and should have been obsolete long ago.
However, even so, it was still loved by the puppeteer.
So as long as someone likes it, it has value in existing.
Ye Xing didn’t look down on it; rather, she handled it very carefully.
“Hmm…”
Judging from the damaged area, it seemed quite easy to deal with.
This puppet looked as if it had been mercilessly cut in half with a single stroke; otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a smooth cut in the middle.
“Which bad guy damaged it? How awful, ruining your favorite thing,” Ye Xing muttered softly.
At the same time, she was wondering if she could simply glue it together. Would that count as repairing it?
Well, just thinking about it seemed a bit absurd.
The puppeteer loli was still staring at Ye Xing, seemingly very expectant.
“If… you can’t fix it, how about becoming my puppet?”
“Eh… well…”
Ye Xing wanted to ask the puppeteer why she kept fixating on her body. They were both lolis; it wasn’t good to treat someone as a puppet to be manipulated at will.
“Um… give me some time first. Can I take it home?”
“Mm, if you’re confident.”
“Then make a wish to me.”
“A wish?”
“Mm-hmm, just an attempt.”
The puppeteer obediently made a wish.
“My wish is… please help me restore the puppet to its original state.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Xing felt something inside her body react, giving her a very strange feeling.
Was this the Star’s reaction?
She wasn’t sure.
Ye Xing exhaled and said, “Then wait for my good news. I will definitely fix your puppet.”
If she really couldn’t fix it, she could only ask some experts to make an identical one.
“Well, I’ll be going now. Next time we meet, I’ll bring the repaired puppet to you.”
Ye Xing held the damaged puppet and turned to leave.
“Mm.”
The puppeteer loli quietly watched. Only after Ye Xing’s figure had completely disappeared did her eyes lose focus again.
……
Night Watchers’ base.
Many Night Watchers returned to the resting area one after another, all looking very tired.
Bai Tu, Cai Xun, and Bu Jie were among them.
“I’m really fed up. This Tragedy Shadow Troupe is so annoying. Can’t they just let us deal with them obediently? It’s driving me crazy,” Cai Xun complained as usual.
The Tragedy Shadow Troupe had acted again tonight.
Cai Xun had once again faced off against the Deceiver and was toyed with.
Fortunately, he wasn’t the only one who lost face; other Night Watchers were also confused and disoriented.
A single Deceiver could easily control more than a dozen elite Night Watchers. Even knowing his Star Eclipse effect, it wasn’t so easy to deal with in practice.
However, after knowing it was the Tragedy Shadow Troupe, two Radiant Sun level Night Watchers stationed at the base immediately took action.
It was said that they even confronted the mysterious theater director for a while.
In the end, the Tragedy Shadow Troupe retreated unscathed under the Gentleman’s cover, without causing much impact.
Bu Jie sighed, also tormented.
“Wasn’t it said that we now have a third Radiant Sun level Night Watcher here? If that one had also taken action, we might have been able to detain them.”
Cai Xun shrugged.
“Who knows? I heard that big shot is on leave and rest, and their working style is very strange, all mysterious.”
Bai Tu walked in front, not participating in Cai Xun and Bu Jie’s conversation.
The two also stopped their topic and addressed Bai Tu.
“Bai Tu, I feel like your mood has improved a lot. You’re not as gloomy as before.”
“Is that so?” Bai Tu responded softly.
Bu Jie stroked his chin and agreed, “Indeed, it’s quite noticeable. Although your expression is still as calm as before and you still don’t smile much, your eyes have become much gentler.”
Cai Xun nodded and smiled lightly.
“It must be because of Bai Yu, right? It seems little Bai Yu’s recovery has had a big effect, making you not so scary anymore.”
Bai Tu tilted her head, somewhat confused.
“Was I very scary before?”
“Well, your aura was quite frightening, and there was always a cold feeling when staying by your side. One glance from you could make someone who wanted to come over and chat back off.”
Recalling that previous period, Cai Xun sighed.
“By the way, how did Little Bai Yu recover?”
Cai Xun and Bu Jie had no connection to this matter, so they didn’t know much about it.
Bai Tu pursed her lips, the cute figure appearing in her mind, and then smiled slightly.
“It was probably a miracle brought by someone.”
After saying this, Bai Tu quickened her pace, seemingly eager to see her sister.
Cai Xun and Bu Jie stood dumbfounded, their expressions very shocked.
“Tsk~” Cai Xun sucked in a cold breath, coming back to his senses, “Oh no, now Bai Tu’s suitors will definitely increase. Damn, do you think we’ll become the target of public criticism?”
Bu Jie nodded seriously.
“It’s possible. Bai Tu was already beautiful, and now that she’s in a better state and much gentler with people, I’m afraid it will attract a bunch of hungry wolves.”
“What should we do then?”
“Cai Dog, don’t you understand? We’ll take them down one by one.”
Cai Xun had a look of sudden realization.
“So we’ll take them all down, right?”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“That’s your head!”
Bu Jie gave a cold laugh.
“Heh, anyway, I’ve long seen her as a sister. If any scumbag gets close, I’ll give them an invincible iron fist, beat them so bad their own mother won’t recognize them.”
“You’re a bit too radical. Listen to me, if it’s internal Night Watchers, we’ll just tell Old Xiao or Uncle Bai.”
Bu Jie immediately sucked in a cold breath, staring at Cai Xun with some horror.
“You’re the f*cking devil, aren’t you?”
“Heh, who wants to see a good cabbage eaten by a pig?” Cai Xun gave a cold laugh, looking even more devilish than Bu Jie.
It seems now Cai Xun also saw Bai Tu as a sister.
Bai Tu is now seventeen, Cai Xun is twenty-two, and Bu Jie is twenty-four. This age difference is indeed quite suitable for being siblings.
……
The entire day today.
Ye Lan, Bai Yu, and Ling Miao had almost stayed together, sticking together for nearly the whole day.
Ling Miao had been wanting to launch an offensive against Ye Lan, wanting to pounce on her to see her shy expression.
But Bai Yu never gave her the chance, always sticking close to Ye Lan and vigilantly staring at her, like a guard.
Ling Miao felt very frustrated inside.
She vowed that one day she would overcome her fear and push both Ye Lan and Bai Yu together!
She, Ling Miao, is the strongest!
But for now, she should first look for Bai Yu’s weakness.
At this moment.
Ye Lan was preparing to go home and rest.
If she went back now, she could still cuddle and bathe together with Ye Xing. She looked forward to it every day, never getting tired of it.
Bai Yu’s face was full of reluctance, one hand pulling at Ye Lan’s clothes.
“Why don’t you stay at the Night Watchers’ base?”
Ye Lan thought for a moment and smiled, answering, “Mm… maybe it’s more comfortable staying at home.”
Mainly because there was another her waiting at home. She didn’t want to let herself be lonely.
