Three women walked along the street together.
After this journey, the three of them had become familiar with each other, and having been through life-and-death situations together, they were now practically comfortable talking about anything.
As they walked, Fei Xiao noticed that there seemed to be very few people on the street, and furthermore...
"Um, did your city run out of money for renovations, or is this just a unique style?"
Fei Xiao pointed casually at the buildings in the city.
These buildings didn't look severely damaged, but they felt like they would collapse at a mere touch. There were even ruins that looked like they had just collapsed not long ago. Was this some kind of demolition project?
Fei Xiao felt that although she hadn't had a chance to carefully admire the city's architecture when she first arrived, she remembered that this building was... intact before she left, right? Was the demolition efficiency really this high now?
Meng Xi:...
Lin Siyu:...
It was no big deal that it was Fei Xiao's first time traveling here.
But they, as semi-locals who had lived here for years, remembered clearly.
Although it was dilapidated before, it hadn't been this ruined after repairs.
Especially the building Fei Xiao was looking at; the two of them clearly remembered it being perfectly fine before they left today.
How did it become ruins upon their return?
All three of them looked blank, completely unaware of what had happened.
Just then, seeing quite a few people in the distance, the three exchanged glances and decided to go join the crowd.
"It's really strange lately, isn't it?"
"Yeah, did you guys feel it too earlier?"
"I was almost scared to death at the time."
"This is really bad luck."
...
Listening to these scattered conversations, the few of them were completely confused.
Lin Siyu stepped forward directly to activate her social skills.
"Hey, buddy, do you know what happened here earlier?"
The guy turned his head subconsciously upon hearing this sweet voice.
"Oh, you don't know? Well, here... huh? Where did they go?"
The guy scratched his head in confusion and looked around.
Lin Siyu: (◣д◢)!
"I'm right here!" Lin Siyu suppressed the urge to punch him and spoke as calmly as possible.
The guy looked down and finally noticed this twin-tailed Little Loli.
He touched his face awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't notice you."
Lin Siyu almost lost her cool; was this guy trying to rub salt in the wound?
Pfft!
Lin Siyu looked back.
Fei Xiao and Meng Xi were standing with their arms crossed, staring at them seriously. Their expressions were calm and unreadable, so she ignored them.
Pfft!!
"Hmm?"
Lin Siyu turned back to look again.
Both of them were still expressionless. Fei Xiao was covering her mouth with one hand, wondering what she was thinking. Lin Siyu glared with deep eyes and stopped paying attention.
Pfft!!!
This time Lin Siyu whipped her head around, her cheeks puffed out.
Meng Xi was also covering her mouth with one hand now; this time, the amusement in both of their eyes was clearly visible.
She turned back, took a deep breath, and stayed calm.
"So, do you know what happened here?"
"Cough, cough, this is strange. Everything was fine these days, but just a while ago, there was a sudden earthquake.
I didn't even have time to react, and many buildings collapsed. Fortunately, it didn't last long, so the impact wasn't severe."
Lin Siyu and Meng Xi trembled after hearing this.
Lin Siyu's peripheral vision met Meng Xi's gaze, and both understood they were thinking the same thing.
An earthquake occurred just a while ago; the timing seemed to match up.
Could it be that arrow from Fei Xiao?
Was the commotion caused by Fei Xiao that exaggerated?
And the culprit was still looking innocent, lamenting in her heart that these people were truly unlucky to have suddenly encountered an earthquake.
Lin Siyu forced back her embarrassment and said.
"Is that so? Thank you, buddy."
The guy responded with a smile. "You're welcome, little kid, watch out for..."
Pfft! Ah!
Lin Siyu retracted her fist and walked away with an expressionless face, completely ignoring the wailing behind her.
Does he really think I won't get angry?
She thought indignantly, then looked up and saw Fei Xiao's... confused expression?
She realized in an instant, "You don't think I'm also..."
"Uh... isn't it?" Fei Xiao scratched the back of her head and looked down at the other person.
"Pfft! Sister Fei Xiao, Lin Siyu is my senior, and I'm a sophomore in college." Meng Xi couldn't hold it in anymore and explained.
"Ah!!!" Fei Xiao stared unblinkingly at this 1.5-meter tall Little Loli, full of disbelief.
"Ahhh!" Lin Siyu grabbed her twin tails tightly; she was completely broken now.
...
"Haha, sorry, Siyu." Fei Xiao also laughed awkwardly to comfort her.
Lin Siyu's art style had changed completely; her surroundings had lost their color, leaving only black and white, and her face was full of despair.
She had just learned that Fei Xiao was only 18, and at just 18, she already possessed such a towering and proud figure. This world was too unfair.
Fei Xiao was sizing up the other's future. She had previously thought it was an innate advantage, but now it turned out to be an over-development.
At the same time, she didn't forget to casually glance at Meng Xi's.
Compared to that, the two's overall nutrition seemed to be distributed into two different extremes.
Meng Xi suddenly felt her body turn cold, as if something was missing in her heart, and the smile on her face gradually faded.
"Cough, cough, let's not talk about this, let's keep walking." Fei Xiao noticed Meng Xi's mood suddenly becoming low.
How did you end up emo too?
Fei Xiao was completely unaware of the envious looks from the two.
The two looked at each other and continued to lead the way, but they still couldn't stop thinking about Fei Xiao's figure.
"By the way, Fei Xiao, that earthquake... was that your doing?" Lin Siyu asked the question in both their hearts after calming down.
"Hmm? Why do you think it was my doing?"
Fei Xiao wasn't faking it; she really had no awareness. The vibration after launching the final blow earlier was negligible to her.
Seeing Fei Xiao's confused expression, which didn't look fake, the two expressed their thoughts.
Fei Xiao: (ﾟДﾟ)
It's over, this seems...
'System, did I really do it?'
[Yes, host, the fluctuation spread across almost half of Cloud City.]
It's over, the culprit is actually me!
Seeing Fei Xiao's reaction, Meng Xi and Lin Siyu realized that there was no doubt she was the cause of all these accidents.
The two looked at Fei Xiao with complicated expressions.
Even if the earthquake was caused by Fei Xiao, it was to protect them that all this happened.
To put it bluntly, they were the real accomplices.
The three felt guilty and looked at each other, secretly checking if anyone was eavesdropping with great tacit understanding.
"Cough, cough." Fei Xiao feigned composure.
Don't panic when things happen. This wave can only be said to be no big deal. If I don't say it and you don't say it, nobody will know.
The three "criminals" nodded slightly after confirming the look, and walked towards home as if nothing had happened. An invisible deal was thus reached.
...
...
Fei Xiao finally arrived at the destination following the two.
"Uh... is this really your home?"
Fei Xiao looked at the manor villa in front of her in a daze and fell into deep thought.
She had been worried that she had made them homeless, but she could only say this house was well-chosen; it was almost unaffected.
Fei Xiao subconsciously looked at Meng Xi.
Meng Xi had expected this and shook her head lightly, "Not mine, I can't afford it."
Hearing this, Fei Xiao looked at Lin Siyu in surprise, "This is... your home?"
Lin Siyu replied nonchalantly, "What's wrong? When I first came here for college, my dad just bought me a place near school to live."
Fei Xiao:...
Although she appeared calm on the surface, Fei Xiao's cyan eyes noticed the slight upturn of her lips.
She still managed to show off this time; it really lived up to that saying.
Nine out of ten Lolis are rich, and the other one lives in a villa.
