The Righteous Group’s Pet Suddenly Realizes: The Villain is Actually Me

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.”

Realizing the atmosphere had become a bit heavy, Ye Xing chose to immediately change the subject.

“Um, Lian Hua, can you tell me the story of this puppet? It seems so cute.”

The current wish was to repair the puppet, but the intact puppet was now right before her eyes.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the method to fulfill the wish would be to intervene in historically inevitable events, reversing the incident that caused the puppet’s damage. This should be considered a complete fulfillment.

Therefore, the more information about this puppet, the better.

After all, Ye Xing had no reason to constantly stay by Lian Hua’s side; that would be too strange.

“Do you really think so?”

Hearing Ye Xing’s words, Lian Hua’s eyes brightened, seeming very happy.

“My father and classmates all say this puppet isn’t cute at all, but I think it’s the most beautiful. You think so too, that’s wonderful.”

“Mmm mmm mmm~”

Calling the puppet cute was a bit of an exaggeration; its main features were actually simplicity and plainness.

However, Ye Xing thought saying this might make Lian Hua a bit happier.

Now it seemed she wasn’t wrong.

Details determine success or failure.

But to be fair, Ye Xing did like this little puppet that could bring interesting performances.

Regardless of its appearance, Lian Hua’s presence gave it its due value.

Then Lian Hua’s emotions grew even more excited as she continued, “This puppet was given to me by my mother. Mother was also a very skilled puppeteer. She used to perform for me with this puppet. The reason I like puppet shows is because of her influence. This puppet actually has a cute name, it’s called Little Lian. How about that? Isn’t it great?”

“Mm-hmm~ It is indeed great.”

So this puppet was a gift from Lian Hua’s deceased mother.

Then for Lian Hua, this puppet was indeed very important and had special meaning.

Perhaps this puppet named “Little Lian” carried Lian Hua’s longing for her mother.

No wonder the future Lian Hua was so heartbroken when the puppet was destroyed.

So to prevent the tragedy from repeating, Ye Xing must strive to change the ending of this story.

She wouldn’t betray the promise made to the future Lian Hua.

In the time that followed, Lian Hua excitedly talked about her mother’s past deeds, as if she was her most admired person.

During this process, Ye Xing quietly listened to Lian Hua’s words, occasionally nodding and responding, with an expression of attentive listening.

A while later, Lian Hua took out other puppets from some corner.

She said these were the puppets her mother commonly used to perform a story.

There were ladies, butlers, servants, ordinary citizens, and so on, with distinct character features. Each one looked more exquisite than “Little Lian.”

Ye Xing felt curious and tried to play with them too.

But once she started, the puppet under her control began to dance a meaningless breakdance, as if a caterpillar had fallen into a collar.

“Pfft~”

Lian Hua couldn’t help but laugh, but for the sake of Ye Xing’s face, she was seriously trying to hold it in.

“Umm…”

Ye Xing slightly pouted her delicate pink lips, frustratedly studying for a good while, and finally managed to make the puppet perform a few simple actions under Lian Hua’s guidance.

However, it was of no use.

Ye Xing directly gave up.

“Forget it, I don’t have talent in this area. It’s indeed more enjoyable to watch you perform, Lian Hua.”

Ye Xing folded her arms on the table, resting her snow-white face on her arms, turning her head to the side with a dejected look. Her beautiful silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

Her crimson eyes seemed to carry a hint of intoxication as she gazed at the petite figure beside her.

“Having you is enough… isn’t it?”

“Umm…”

Lian Hua’s face, as fair as frost, quickly turned completely red, like a ripe, ruddy apple, making one want to take a gentle bite.

She couldn’t help but touch her slightly heated cheeks, her heart pounding.

Why did she feel so shy for some reason~

It was such a simple sentence, but combined with Ye Xing’s gaze and tone, it really felt like it struck her heart.

She felt a bit flustered!

“Woo~”

Lian Hua covered her face with both hands and let out a small cry of distress, steam seemingly rising from her head, a true steam princess.

Ye Xing raised her head in confusion, tilting it as she stared at the slightly odd Lian Hua.

“What’s wrong? Was what I said just now strange?”

“No… maybe I misunderstood.”

After being embarrassed for a few minutes, Lian Hua finally calmed her abnormal heartbeat.

Now, looking at the time.

More than two hours had passed since they came back earlier.

Time sometimes passes quite quickly.

Just simple chatting and playing had already taken so much time.

At least neither Ye Xing nor Lian Hua felt bored during this period, so time passed quickly.

“Um… Ye Xing, it’s almost dinner time now. How about eating at my place?” Lian Hua suggested.

When a friend comes to visit, inviting them to stay for dinner is basic etiquette.

Of course, sometimes it might just be a polite gesture.

But now Lian Hua really wanted to keep Ye Xing here and have dinner with her.

It would be even better if she could stay overnight~

“Eh? Is that okay?”

“Yes, it’s completely fine. I don’t think Father will mind.”

Ye Xing nodded thoughtfully, seeming to consider this matter.

To be honest, she didn’t want to eat at someone else’s house because it gave her a sense of constraint. Eating at the same table with unfamiliar people would make her want to finish quickly and leave.

However, Ye Xing glanced at Lian Hua, whose eyes were full of expectation, and made a decision in her heart.

“Mm-hmm, alright then. I’ll trouble you tonight.”

Anyway, Ye Lan couldn’t come back from the Night Watchers’ base, and they couldn’t engage in the super fun mutual feeding play.

Eating alone would feel a bit lonely, so she might as well eat at Lian Hua’s house for the night.

Freeloading was secondary; making Lian Hua happy was the most important thing.

“That’s great~”

Ye Xing was hugged by the excited Lian Hua.

A few strands of hair stuck to Ye Xing’s small nose, bringing a fresh fragrance that was both ticklish and pleasant-smelling.

Indeed, every girl’s body is different.

Ye Lan’s body seemed a bit softer, very comfortable to hug, quite suitable as a hugging pillow.

But Lian Hua was a bit different.

She had the softness a girl should have, but compared to Ye Lan, she had a bit more bone structure. She was a bit thinner than Ye Lan; if she had a bit more flesh in certain areas, she might be perfect.

Well, this was Ye Xing’s simple evaluation after being hugged.

Unfortunately, she didn’t dare to say it out loud.

Then Lian Hua released Ye Xing and walked out of the room with joyful steps.

“I’ll go ask my stepmother to make an extra portion. Ye Xing, you just wait in the room~”

“Mm-hmm.”

After Lian Hua left, Ye Xing lay on the pink fluffy blanket as if relaxing, staring blankly at the ceiling.

“Umm… did I forget something?”

Don’t know, can’t remember.
