Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: A Mix-up

Fei Xiao was sitting in the villa, feeling idle.

That's strange. Is someone thinking of me? It must be some legal loli missing me.

Fei Xiao stood up, walked into the backyard, and looked around.

She couldn't help but scratch her head in confusion.

Why aren't they here yet? Didn't they say on the phone that they were almost here?

Fei Xiao took out her phone to double-check.

We will be there in about two minutes.

I didn't read it wrong, did I?

Fei Xiao looked up and carefully scanned the sky.

She didn't see anything. Could they be taking ground transportation?

But with her keen hearing, she hadn't detected a single sound. Could they be walking over?

Fei Xiao was puzzled. They couldn't have stood her up, right?

seed!

A familiar voice rang out. Fei Xiao looked down and saw it was indeed Bulbasaur, then slowly squatted down.

seed!

Bulbasaur affectionately rubbed against Fei Xiao's thigh.

This guy had actually become so clingy.

Fei Xiao patted its little head, took an Pokéblock from the room, and fed it.

Bulbasaur's eyes lit up. After taking the food, it began to eat heartily.

Fei Xiao:...

I guess I was happy too soon. It hadn't seen me for two days, so it really did miss me.

It missed me, but not that much.

Ring ring ring~

The phone rang again.

Fei Xiao looked and saw it was Jiao Xiaoyan, who was late.

...

...

Meanwhile, with the streaming duo.

Meng Xi and Lin Siyu looked at the approaching group at a loss.

Ye Jinnian noticed they seemed to have frightened the young lady in front of them, so he spoke gently.

Sorry for scaring you. I've had the pleasure of watching your streams before. I came here specifically to find Sister Fei Xiao. May I ask where she is?

Although the other party's attitude was very sincere, the two of them weren't stupid enough to sell out Fei Xiao just like that.

However, the other party's attire was definitely military, so they couldn't be vague. The two had to remain silent, scanning the group with suspicious eyes.

The old man saw the two girls' thoughts and signaled his old friend behind him.

Jiao Wuyan had no choice but to call his granddaughter over, while signaling for the others to step back.

To meet Fei Xiao today, Jiao Xiaoyan had changed into her usual attire.

Jeans paired with a shirt, simple and comfortable. Compared to her military uniform, it showed more of the youthful vitality of her age.

You must be the Streamer Lin Siyu, right! Hello, I'm a friend of Sister Fei Xiao. I came here specifically to find her today. Oh right, look at this—this is yesterday's call log and our chat history just now.

Fearing that the other party wouldn't believe her, Jiao Xiaoyan showed them all kinds of information.

Seeing that the information was indeed real, Meng Xi and Lin Siyu almost believed them.

After thinking for a moment, the two decided to tell them where Fei Xiao had gone.

Meng Xi said coldly.

Sister Fei Xiao said someone was looking for her last night, so she went home early this morning to greet them. Didn't you know you were looking for her?

Ah? Went... went home? Really?

Jiao Xiaoyan was a bit surprised to hear this answer.

What do you mean she went home? This is so far from Fei Xiao's home!

Hearing this, Lin Siyu was a bit displeased.

You arranged this, and you don't know?

At this point, Lin Siyu and Meng Xi tacitly took a step back.

Jiao Xiaoyan saw that the two didn't seem to be lying.

But why are your expressions so calm? A phone call last night, and now she's gone home? Even if she traveled all night, she couldn't have made it, right?

And are you serious about that step back?

...

Jiao Xiaoyan couldn't explain it well, so she explained the situation to her grandfather.

What? Xiao Yan, make another call to confirm?

Ah? Oh, I'll contact her now.

...

Soon the call connected, and Jiao Xiaoyan consciously turned on the speakerphone.

Hello? Sister Fei Xiao, where are you?

Hmm? I'm at home waiting for you, of course. Why are you asking me instead? I've been waiting for ages, haven't you arrived yet?

Sister Fei Xiao, are you... at home right now?

Jiao Xiaoyan asked uncertainly.

Yeah, didn't you say you wanted to come find me to discuss something important? So, I got up early and came home to wait.

Now everyone present heard it, except for some who didn't know where Sister Fei Xiao lived and didn't understand.

This... a distance of nearly twenty-five kilometers... Sister Fei Xiao, you left in the morning... and you've already arrived home?

What are you talking about? I arrived hours ago. Where are you?

Fei Xiao didn't understand what the other party meant. How would she know how far she had traveled?

A thought suddenly popped into her mind.

You... wouldn't happen to be next to Meng Xi, would you?

Jiao Xiaoyan responded stiffly.

Now everyone was stunned.

What did she just say? A distance of over twenty kilometers—although she didn't know how long she had been waiting, based on what she said, it estimated to be less than an hour.

Lin Siyu and Meng Xi also didn't expect Fei Xiao's home to be so far, but they soon got used to such things.

Jiao Wuyan and Ye Jinnian were almost scared to death. If it were true, just how fast was Fei Xiao?

Sister Fei Xiao, are you really at your original home?

Otherwise? I didn't know you would find that place. I thought you were coming to my house!

Fei Xiao was helpless. Is it my fault?

You didn't say where, and I assume they looked up my previous streams to find me.

But how was I to know? I even rushed back as soon as I woke up.

Then Sister Fei Xiao, we...

Jiao Xiaoyan wanted to ask her to wait, saying she would come over immediately, but was stunned by her words.

Forget it, just wait there with Meng Xi and the other one. I'll be there right away.

As soon as she finished speaking, the call was hung up.

Jiao Xiaoyan didn't know what to say.

Jiao Wuyan stepped forward and patted his granddaughter's shoulder.

It's okay, let's just wait here. You can take this chance to be a normal girl and experience a relaxed life.

That's right, girl. This rest time is hard-won, so relax and enjoy it.

After saying this, the two dispersed the surrounding people, letting them relax and wait on the spot.

Although these soldiers were a bit skeptical, they had to follow orders; after all, it was nice to relax a bit.

Meng Xi and Lin Siyu looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

They were already used to the superhuman Fei Xiao and her many secrets.

But the fact that the other party accepted it so quickly made it seem like they really knew Fei Xiao.

Their defenses let down slightly.

But they didn't know what the two old men were thinking.

Both Jiao Wuyan and Ye Jinnian had noticed one thing.

Before coming, they knew Fei Xiao's address, but from the stream, they discovered that Fei Xiao was actually in Cloud City.

At first, they felt the distance and time between the two places didn't add up, so they didn't think much of it.

But now...

This woman was actually able to return in the span of a single morning.

The previous events were coincidentally linked together, so removing everything impossible, there was still one possibility left.

That earthquake was absolutely related to Fei Xiao.

I give up!

I tried 60 pulls, and ended up getting a 5-star at 25 pulls, but it was the wrong one.

Now I'm tempted to go for the hard pity.
