Want to be human, but cube-like

At least, she felt that she could now face Alex with a normal mindset.

"Alex...you're back so early today?"

After changing into a clean set of pajamas, Xiangzi smoothed her long hair and tentatively asked Alex outside the door in a soft voice.

"Yeah, I just wandered around outside for a bit."

Didn't you go on a date with Aine today?

Xiangzi opened her mouth, listened to Alex's answer, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't ask directly.

However, it seems that Aine left with Rakuna in the afternoon, which was still daytime... which is different from her usual situation of staying until evening.

Maybe that's why I didn't go on my date today...

Xiangzi seemed to have already concluded that Alex's late returns home recently were all due to the two of them having a romantic date outside, Xiangzi guessed in his heart.

After tidying his clothes and drying his hair, Xiangzi opened the glass door to the bathroom.

Alex stood outside the door, holding a bath towel, seemingly waiting quietly for her to finish showering.

"I'm all washed, Alex. You can come in now."

Since she had already taken a bath, the pool on the floating island wouldn't be too dirty. Xiangzi, who had accidentally fallen into the water, only needed to rinse herself with water and change into a clean set of pajamas. It wouldn't take more than a few minutes. She told Alex to wait outside for a while.

"Good~"

With a slight smile and a nod, Alex walked straight into the bathroom, ignoring Xiangzi still at the door. After putting down her towel, she began to take off her clothes.

"Really..."

Xiangzi, who was already used to it, didn't say much. He just shook his head helplessly, walked out of the bathroom, and closed the door for her.

Even though she's already someone else's girlfriend, she still acts like she doesn't know how to be discreet. If Aine knew, she would definitely be jealous and angry, right?

"call……"

With a sigh and mixed thoughts, Xiangzi returned to his room.

Lying back on the soft, comfortable bed, Xiangzi stared at the ceiling, puffing out his cheeks, still feeling somewhat annoyed.

"Move away...?"

She thought about the last four chickens that had been turned into kebabs by Alex after being slapped on the head, and murmured something to herself.

"Ugh...!"

With a reluctant whimper, Xiangzi rolled around on the bed twice, then used the blanket beneath her to curl up her small, delicate body.

She huddled completely under the covers, with only her light blue hair, which wasn't completely dry, hanging loosely outside the blanket above her head.

It looks like a strange caterpillar with a blue tail.

"no!"

After a long while, Xiangzi didn't know how many minutes she had been in that rolled-up quilt. Suddenly, she struggled to sit up and whispered something.

I have a feeling that if I give up like this, I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.

Xiangzi struggled to get out of bed, sticking out his round, delicate toes, stepping on his slippers, and got up to push open the door. He planned to go to the empty island and try to find a few more eggs.

Then, as soon as she opened the door, she saw that the bathroom door in the hallway had also opened at the same time.

Amidst the rising steam, Alex's curvaceous and sexy figure emerged from the bathroom and appeared before Xiangzi's eyes.

"ah!"

Alex hadn't reacted yet, but Xiangzi blushed and couldn't help but let out a cry.

"A... Alex...! Get dressed before you come out!"

With his face turned to the side and his eyes tightly closed, Xiangzi spoke loudly in a somewhat flustered manner.

"At the very least, wrap yourself properly in the towel...!"

She added in a low voice.

"But I was wrapped in a bath towel, you know?"

But Alex voiced a questioning tone.

"Eh?"

Slightly stunned, Xiangzi slowly opened his eyes and noticed that Alex was indeed wearing a bath towel.

However, the fog was too thick, and because Alex had such a ridiculously good figure, the towel was completely taut, and it couldn't even fully cover her thighs. You could even vaguely see the top of her thighs.

Xiangzi only caught a glimpse of her before mistakenly thinking that Alex was not wearing anything.

But Alex's current state is truly dazzlingly white...

"Hug...sorry..."

He lowered his head and stammered out a sentence, the blush on Xiangzi's face lingering for a long time.

But no matter what, Alex was way too unprepared...

She muttered to herself for a moment, then suddenly paused.

Wait a minute... caught off guard... lacking common sense...?

She suddenly realized something.

Alex, does she really know what being a couple means?

His expression suddenly turned serious, and at that moment, Xiangzi's thoughts became clearer than ever before.

Or, did Alex really kiss Aine after they became a couple?

Could it be that she doesn't even know the meaning of kissing? Doesn't she know how important this act is?

The more Xiangzi thought about it, the more his heart sank.

If...if Ellie

Kess, she was deceived by Aine... no, by Chihaya Aine, and coaxed into giving up her first kiss...!

Xiangzi's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his face darkened considerably.

Considering Aine's usual shameless and lewd nature, she became even more convinced of this guess.

Thousand! Good morning! Love! Sound!

Now, Xiangzi feels like she has become an old mother who is afraid that her innocent and pure daughter will be tricked by good and bad women outside into doing strange things, and she is worried all day long.

"Xiangzi? What's wrong? You look a little scary..."

Seeing that Xiangzi hadn't moved for a long time, Alex walked over in confusion and looked at her with concern.

"Alex!"

Xiangzi pursed his lips and looked up at Alex intently.

"Go back to your room and change your clothes first. I have something to tell you."

The corridor wasn't a good place to talk, so Xiangzi turned to look at the bedroom next door.

I don't think it's appropriate to talk about this in the bedroom.

"Let's talk inside the Sky Island!"

She looked into Alex's clear eyes and said.

Just looking at Alex's innocent and bewildered eyes, Xiangzi felt that his responsibility was so great.

She absolutely wouldn't allow it! Alex was tricked by Aine into doing some weird and lewd things!

P.S. I have a friend to ask for today~

Volume 1: Chapter 175 Xiangzi, My Feelings for Aiyin Are More Special Than Yours

Less than ten minutes later, the two girls, who had just taken a shower and were still smelling of shower gel, returned to the sky island.

As soon as they stepped into the portal, they were greeted by a cacophony of crowing chickens, the noise making them both frown.

"Was Xiangzi just throwing eggs?"

Looking around at the floating island now covered with chicks, Alex turned her head in confusion and asked.

"Forehead……"

Xiangzi was still pondering how to ask Alex about her relationship with Aine when he heard this, and suddenly didn't know how to answer.

"...Well, because I saw there were so many eggs that I couldn't fit them all in the container, so I just... just smashed them randomly..."

Feeling guilty, Xiangzi turned her eyes away, avoiding Alex's gaze, and awkwardly told a small lie.

It seems Xiangzi is going to become a lying bad boy too.

"Is this so..."

Although her expression clearly indicated something was wrong, the naive Alex didn't question it and simply nodded.

"But next time it would be better to find an open space and fence it off a bit, otherwise it will end up like now, with chicks everywhere."

she said softly.

"I know, I know..."

He responded softly, and for a moment, Xiangzi forgot the opening remarks he had just prepared.

She should have been the one to bring up the topic... how did Alex manage to take the initiative?!

A slight dissatisfaction arose in his heart, but Xiangzi quickly adjusted his emotions.

She saw Alex suddenly walk towards the warehouse next to her.

"Alex?"

He quickly followed and called out to Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi, don't you think it's too noisy? Wait a moment while I deal with these chicks."

As she said this, Alex took some wheat seeds, an iron sword, and some dirt from the warehouse.

"Ah...me, I'll help too..."

Since he had created the trouble himself, Xiangzi felt embarrassed to stand by and watch Alex clean up after her, so he went and got some wheat seeds as well.

"By the way, did Xiangzi have something to say to me just now?"

Holding wheat seeds, she began to entice the chicks to follow her in a sweeping manner. Suddenly, Alex remembered this and asked Xiangzi a question.

"...Let's talk about it later."

Xiangzi glanced helplessly at the chicks scattered all over the ground. In this environment, how could he possibly have the mind to slowly discuss those things with Alex?

However, cleaning up wasn't too troublesome. The two of them simply took the wheat seeds, walked around a bit, and made all the chicks follow them to the corner.

Xiangzi casually fed the wheat seeds to the nearest chick, and then, with her hands empty, she watched as all the chicks beside her ran over to Alex.

Alex was building a small fence two blocks high. After all the chicks were attracted to the small open space where the fence had been built, she sealed the gap, then took out her longsword and, in a few swift strokes, turned all the crowded chicks into a wisp of white smoke.

Only a small portion of the adult chickens shed their feathers and meat, while the remaining chicks, not yet fully grown, naturally did not shed any.

The quadruplets that Xiangzi threw out before were actually chickens that Alex fed with wheat seeds to quickly grow into.

After tearing down the walls and putting everything back in the warehouse, the Sky Island finally returned to its former peaceful and tranquil state.

"Okay, that's much quieter now."
