Collapse, I became their salvation?

Three "Then I'll set a time and we'll meet then?"

Five "As you say."

6Aponia felt much better.

It has been more than four hundred thousand years, and even if he was asleep most of the time, it is inevitable that there would be some strangeness when they meet again after such a long time.

In addition, Tu Bai had only recently "recovered" the memories of the two of them, and the sense of strangeness Tu Bai felt towards herself had been weighing on her mind, making her very uncomfortable.

If relations eased, how could she have any reason to be unhappy?

Being alone is the best way to build closer relationships.

"Well, it's settled then. I won't disturb your rest."

If Abonya hadn't insisted that he reply, Tu Bai wouldn't have made the call so late.

Apparently, Abonya, who had a fairly healthy schedule, was already staying up late at this point.

"Good night."

Aponia's voice had a hint of lightness to it, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

"Good night."

Aponya had just hung up the phone when he heard a familiar voice.

"Hmm? Mother Aponya? Who are you talking to on the phone so late at night?"

Aponya paused and turned his back to the other person.

"Grayshu? It's so late, why don't you rest yet?"

"There's only a little bit left to finish that painting, so I thought I'd go to bed after I finish it."

"Grayshudder, don't stay up late."

"Mother Aponya...I have been an adult for a long time."

Grace covered her forehead helplessly. Calling her mom was just a habit, but she had really been an adult for a long, long time.

Why are we still being educated like children?

"Yes, Grayshu has grown up."

Aponya sighed.

"Wait, Mother Aponya..."

Grayshu looked at Aponya's back strangely, with a questioning tone.

"Why do you keep your back to me?"

"..."

"Also, who was Mother Aponya talking to on the phone just now?"

"..."

"A, a friend..."

"Mother Aponya, lying is wrong."

Grace took two steps forward and came in front of Aponia. She saw Aponia’s blushing face at a glance.

It must be said that this was the first time she had seen Abonya’s mother like this.

Um......

There's something...off about the color?

Aponia looked away. The girl in front of him had already grown into a slender young lady. Although her height was not as high as his, she could already look him in the eye.

She felt guilty and was afraid that someone would find out something was wrong.

Gresh looked at Aponia.

There was something obviously wrong with Abonya's mother.

So, it seems that there is only one person who can make Abonya's mother like this?

Grayshu's head buzzed, and she was blank for several seconds.

After a while, she spoke in a trembling voice.

"He...is back?"

"..."

"Mother Aponya, where is he?"

Grace placed a hand on her chest.

The wait was too long, and she couldn't help but get anxious at just a little news.

"He still has things to do, but I have invited him here. You will be able to see him here soon."

"really?"

Gresh's eyes seemed to light up.

Aponya's eyes were gentle and she nodded.

"Really, so Grayshu should not disturb him now."

"Don't worry, Mother Aponya."

Gray Xiu nodded seriously. "I have waited for so long. I will not rush for this moment."

As long as there is news, she is willing to wait.

“Just now…was Mother Aponya talking to him on the phone?”

"Ah."

Aponya nodded slightly.

"He needed a little help from me, and it's been taken care of now."

"Then he..."

A trace of confusion and hesitation flashed across Grayshu's face.

"Still remember me?"

"Yes, of course I remember. He was just talking to me about you."

Aponya lied silently, she didn't want to see the girl too sad.

The girl breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had taken a reassurance pill.

"Okay, go to bed. Staying up late is bad for your health."

"I'm going to drink some water and then go to sleep."

Grayshut put her hands behind her back and moved her feet.

Only then did Aponia realize that the girl was not wearing shoes, and her bare feet were stepping on the cold tiles, but she didn't feel cold.

"Grayshull, remember to put on your shoes."

"Got it~"

......

The next day.

"Get up, little slut."

Tu Bai pinched Kiana's face, his tone very gentle.

"Let me sleep a little longer..."

Kiana was a little reluctant. She held Tubai's hand and was reluctant to open her eyes.

"If you sleep any longer, the breakfast will get cold."

Ok?

Kiana opened her eyes instantly.

"Breakfast? Where's the breakfast?"

The only thing that can defeat sleepiness is the girl's own stomach.

It has to be you.

"Breakfast is still at the breakfast shop."

Tu Bai laughed. The little girl held his arm tightly and refused to let go. He had to be able to split himself into two to buy breakfast.

"..."

Kiana's mouth puffed up.

"Uncle Twelve, you lied to me!"

"It's just a white lie, and I didn't lie to you. Once you're done washing up, we can go out for dinner."

Tu Bai pinched Kiana's face. If he didn't call her that, she would hug him and stay for the whole morning.

"I know, I know~"

Kiana finally let go of Tubai's hand, and then stretched beautifully.

Tu Bai moved his numb hands. The little girl was sleeping happily, but he was the one who suffered.

This is also the reason why Tubai is unwilling to sleep with Kiana.

During the mission, I can just not sleep, but it’s a bit uncomfortable if I can’t sleep during the non-mission period.

The girl is not young anymore, but she still doesn't sleep well at night. No one can stand it.

She really has no self-awareness at all.

The two of them started to get up and wash.

"By the way, Uncle Twelve, I seemed to have dreamed about Sister Xilin last night."

"That wasn't a dream. You communicated with her in the depths of your consciousness."

Kiana's eyes lit up.

"So, Sister Xilin agreed?!"

"What did you agree to? Why are you so surprised?"

Tu Bai took the towel and wiped Kiana's face unhappily.

"Hehe~ Of course it's about calling Xilin sister~"

Kiana was so delighted.

"I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the world right now!"

Could there be anyone luckier than her?

The person I love most is right next to me, and I also have a biological sister out of nowhere.

She really felt that she was very lucky.

Tu Bai paused while wiping the girl's face, then pinched her little face without saying anything.

The girl's happy look made Tu Bai Nuo￡♀何群：魃』￠５、⑺?∫⑥「6三牭四⑵ a little sad.

If she was born in a normal family, these would be things she could get easily.

But now it has become a luxury.

Even just having some of them is enough to make a girl very happy.

"What else did you talk about?"

"Well...we also talked about Uncle Twelve."

Kiana scratched her head sheepishly.

"Sister Xilin and I have discussed the time of each outing. After all, this is my body, so I am in charge."
