Chapter 37: Telling farewell, meeting the journey

At the end of the month, September 29th.

In the dim morning light, Xia Lan patted the girl who was hugging him like an octopus, and said helplessly: "It's time to get up."

"Today is the last day, please let me hold you for a little longer~" Xia begged pitifully.

"No, there are still a lot of things to do today!" Xia Lan refused immediately, grabbed Xia Jingying's gorgeous dragon horns, and gently scratched it with her nails.

"Ah——!" Xia suddenly shivered violently, instantly bounced off Xia Lan and jumped to the ground, causing the quilt to fly away with her.

"Humph~" Xia Lan ignored her frantic state and got up and dressed.

He discovered this a few days ago. To Xia, doing this is like fingernails scratching a blackboard in some people's eyes, which is very uncomfortable.

Scratching is equivalent to listening to a dozen hands scratching a blackboard at the same time. It's like your head explodes.

It took a long time for Xia to regain her composure, and she looked at him for a long time with her eyes filled with resentment and sadness.

Seeing Xia Lan picking up the quilt and going to wash up while ignoring her all the way, she immediately felt aggrieved and fell onto the bed, rolling over in sadness to vent her anger.

After a while, Xia Lan shouted outside: "Do you still want to have breakfast? If not, I'll give it to you~"

"Eat!" Xia immediately jumped up from the bed, rushed outside and snatched the breakfast from Xia Lan's hand, then went to the table to eat viciously.

"Is it tasty?"

"Good...not delicious!" Xia responded angrily, turning her head as if she wanted to vent her anger on the breakfast.

Xia Lan soon sat down opposite her from a distance, and said while eating: "Depending on the arrangements, I will leave around three o'clock this afternoon. Before then, I will send you to Nian."

"Yeah." Xia nodded silently.

Naturally, he felt a little sad, so he asked again: "Is there anything you want to say at the last moment?"

Xia still shook her head and said nothing.

"Then let's go there last year around eleven o'clock." Xia Lan said directly, feeling helpless.

However, he also hoped that the birthday gift he prepared for her would make her happy and dilute the separation sadness in his heart.

…

At noon, Xia Lan brought Xia, who was unhappy all the way, to the gate of Nian's community.

"Xia Lan..." Xia suddenly stopped and pulled him timidly.

"I don't want Xia Lan to leave me..." she said with a tearful tone, and even wanted to stop him by refusing to leave.

Xia Lan bent down and touched her hair gently, but asked: "Do you still remember our agreement, the agreement to leave early and come back early?"

"If you don't abide by the agreement, you will be punished~"

"Ugh..." Xia's cry was immediately stifled, and she squeezed her hand tightly in fear.

For her... the retribution is that Xia Lan will never come back.

She wiped her moist eyes and said hurriedly: "Xia Lan...Xia Lan will abide by the agreement, right?"

"Yeah, of course." He responded softly.

Xia looked at him for several seconds, as if to confirm before nodding: "Okay...Xia will also abide by the agreement!"

"Yeah." Xia Lan nodded, led her to the doorman, told him about her reservation, and the doorman quickly let them in.

They came to the downstairs of Nian's house, but this time Xia looked strangely and asked, "Why can't I feel Sister Nian, and she doesn't respond when I call her in my consciousness?"

"Huh? I don't know, but she made it clear before that she was at home." Xia Lan responded with a strange look on her face, deliberately pretending to be confused.

"Go up and have a look."

Xia nodded and walked over with him. The door and elevator were also set up, which made her even more puzzled and shouted "New Year" several times in her heart.

But still no response.

When the two came upstairs, they saw that the door of Nian's house was open, but the darkness inside was filled with fog and they could not see anything clearly.

Xia Lan's face flashed, and she immediately said: "Something may have gone wrong, go and have a look."

"Yeah!" Xia also had a worried face and came to the black mist with him.

She asked with worry on her face: "Xia Lan doesn't know what this is? Is Sister Nian in danger?"

"Let's take a look." Xia Lan said and began to cast a spell with a very strong response to the energy of the Origin Stone and a very shiny appearance, building a disk on the black mist.

He then put his hand up, as if he wanted to analyze it.

But the moment he touched it, the disc exploded to pieces, and the black mist rippled violently, swallowing Xia Lan inside at once.

Xia looked at the black mist that was gradually returning to calm, and was frightened.

"Xia Lan!" She shouted in panic, wanting to rush in and rescue him, but the black mist pushed her away and refused her entry.

Emotions of anger and fear appeared on Xia's face, and thick and bright electric light began to appear all over her body, and she began to use her power with all her strength.

But her movements suddenly stopped, and she remembered Xia Lan's teachings - learn to use your power with restraint, use your brain, don't use it excessively, and don't always be timid.

Kasumi made a prompt decision and used thunder to create a dagger in her hand, which cut through the black mist in one go, and there were fine threads of thunder that were constantly eroding them.

"Xia Lan, I'm here!" she shouted, looking forward to his response as she walked in quickly.

The black mist suddenly closed and the world became dark.

Feeling the narrow and oppressive darkness around her, although she was worried, she seemed to no longer be as afraid as she was at the beginning, but was really trying hard to think of a solution.

Talent and knowledge were given to her by Xia Lan from the beginning.

As someone who is extremely fanatical about strength and loves women who can tear apart fish with their hands, he would not create a powerful vase that can only be seen.

While killing the surrounding darkness, Kasumi analyzed them, trying to find a way to completely solve them.

She quickly found the source of the black mist, came to a metal instrument, grabbed it, and completely destroyed it in a flash of lightning.

The dark fog gradually dissipated, but what she saw was completely beyond her imagination.

——Not far away from her eyes was a beautiful big cake, and it was printed on it: "Happy birthday Xia!"

"Dangdang~" Xia Lan and Nian's voices sounded behind her at the same time.

"What...is going on?" Xia asked subconsciously with a confused look on her face, realizing that things seemed not to be what she imagined.

"This is a birthday present for Kasumi~"

Xia Lan came over and touched the girl's head, and explained with a smile on her face: "Actually, I just gave you a surprise. I didn't expect Xia's performance to be so outstanding. It really exceeded our expectations!"

Xia listened, stunned for a long time, then her eyes widened slightly, and she rushed into Xia Lan's arms, sobbing and crying.

"Uuuuuuuuuuah...I thought...Xia Lan was in danger...!"

He patted the girl's back gently and said forcefully: "Don't cry! Be happy today!"

"Oh!" Xia Dang suddenly stopped crying and looked up at Xia Lan with a hesitant look, as if she was afraid of offending him.

"Uh..." Xia Lan was stunned for a moment and said with a lot of distress: "That's not what I meant... I just wanted to make Xia happy and have a perfect ending."

"It's a comma!" Nian, who was looking at it with envy, corrected: "You still have a lot of time in the future, now it's just the beginning~"

"Uh-huh, comma, comma." Xia Lan changed her words, her face filled with anticipation.

"Well..." Xia finally recovered, looked at them with shining eyes, and suddenly said: "Thank you, Dad and Sister Nian!"

"Oh~" Nian raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Lan, who was blushing.

This title...he really couldn't get used to it.

"Ahem." He coughed slightly and said, "We'd better carry out the birthday ceremony first, otherwise the cake will easily get spoiled in this hot weather."

The end of September... is indeed a "hot day".

He snapped his fingers, and the familiar black fog enveloped the house again, making the room quite dark. Then he put candles on the cake and called the two dragons over.

"Xia, make a wish, but don't make a wish for me to come back safely. It's best to wish for yourself to be happy." Xia Lan said directly.

"Well, why aren't you allowed to wish for safety?" Nian asked curiously, while Lian Xia also looked confused.

Xia Lan nodded solemnly and explained: "In my hometown, there is a saying that if you make a good wish before parting, something sad will most likely happen."

"Is that so?" Nian Dun's face was full of surprise, but she thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be something to this statement.

"Xia understands, dad." Xia responded obediently, and began to make a wish seriously under the gaze of the two people.

The wish-making was quickly over, Kasumi blew out the candles, and the three of them immediately started dividing the cake.

Speaking of which...these three people really seemed to be enjoying themselves as a family.

It's a pity...the three together can't make up one "person".

After Xia called Xia Lan daddy again, Nian suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Xia and I are sisters, but you are father and daughter, so aren't you taller than me in vain?"

seniority in the family?!"
