Chapter 708 Nan Xiaofeng is very easy to handle
Mercury's Secret: You wouldn't believe it, family members, I took the opportunity to write a chapter at noon.
--------
The next day.
It was the weekend, and Su Tianqing didn't get up very early—around nine o'clock. On the table was a plate of omelets and two slices of toast, with a small note under the glass:
I'm going to the library to read. Tianqing, when you meet Xiaofeng, remember to buy her lots of snacks.
A tiny cat paw was drawn in the corner of the note. Su Tianqing smiled knowingly and carefully put the note into a small tin box, which contained all the little notes she used to communicate with Xiaoyu.
Once the tin box is full of these little notes, I'll call Xiaoyu over, and the two of us will sit together and flip through them one by one, which will surely evoke a rather interesting and nostalgic moment.
After breakfast, change out of school uniform into everyday clothes: a simple summer dress, a pair of breathable calf socks, the tail kept far away from the body to avoid getting hot, hair tied into a braid hanging down in front of the shoulder, and a small shoulder bag with a fox carrot and cat paw charm hanging on it.
"Perfect!"
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her summer outfit, Su Tianqing confidently pricked up her ears, wagged her tail, and then put on a sun hat with gaps left for her ears. With that, everything was ready.
Let's go! This fox still has a lot to do today!
……
The meeting place with Nan Xiaofeng was chosen at an ordinary intersection.
On a weekend morning, there were not many vehicles at the intersection; in fact, they were rather sparse for Chengdu. There were also only a few pedestrians on the roadside, and only a handful of customers could be seen at a few breakfast shops.
Arriving about ten minutes earlier than agreed, Su Tianqing looked around but couldn't find Nan Xiaofeng. She found a clean roadside bench, sat down, and took out her phone to browse forums while waiting quietly.
Five minutes later, the rumble of a train arriving came from the subway entrance, and soon a familiar figure came running out, panting, and their eyes met at a glance.
She waved excitedly at herself, and Su Tianqing even thought that if Nan Xiaofeng had a tail, it would probably be wagging like an electric fan by now.
Su Tianqing stood up from the bench and waved to the newcomer with a smile.
Good morning, Xiaofeng.
"Good morning, Tianqing! Long time no see, I missed you so much!" Nan Xiaofeng excitedly hugged her, but didn't linger. She nuzzled her affectionately and quickly returned to the distance for conversation.
After all, we're not here to chat or go shopping today; we need to get to the point as soon as possible. But talking about this kind of topic while standing on the roadside just doesn't feel right. It would be much more convenient to find a place to sit down.
With this consensus, the two walked side by side along the sidewalk toward a nearby commercial pedestrian street. There were already many residents and students strolling around on the street, and most of the shops were open for business. Finding a quiet teahouse private room was not a problem.
"Squeak..."
After repeatedly confirming that no one was outside the door, Nan Xiaofeng nervously closed the door. Only then did he feel relieved and walked back to the mahjong table, glancing at the golden-haired fox girl who was building a castle with mahjong tiles.
"Xiao Feng, do you know how to play mahjong?"
Su Tianqing was holding a mahjong tile, stacking it to form the last notch in the city wall, when she asked Nan Xiaofeng a question. The latter shook his head.
"I'm not very good at it, but I've heard of the rules, and they're quite complicated."
"I don't know how to play mahjong either, and Xiaoyu doesn't seem to know either. It seems like none of us are cut out for this kind of card game." Su Tianqing smiled, put down the eight of bamboo in her hand, picked up her teacup and took a sip, then looked up at Nan Xiaofeng across the table who was examining the mahjong tiles.
The golden-haired fox girl's expression became more serious.
Playing mahjong and building blocks is just a way to pass the time while waiting for topics to come up with; I know perfectly well what I need to do today.
"Now that you're here, tell me what happened yesterday, and why Miss Bai Ling suddenly became unhappy?"
"Bai Ling doesn't seem unhappy... Rather than unhappy, I think it's more like..."
Nan Xiaofeng took a deep breath and recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.
She spoke in great detail, without adding as many onomatopoeic words as before. Perhaps she was more formal because she was nervous? Su Tianqing couldn't quite understand Nan Xiaofeng's girlish thoughts.
But as a listener, even though Su Tianqing already knew what had happened, she still listened carefully to the whole process from beginning to end. This is basic etiquette for a listener.
After Nan Xiaofeng finished saying, "Bai Ling just left all by herself, and we don't know how to contact her," Su Tianqing finally showed a thoughtful expression and narrowed her eyes.
"Although Bai Ling is usually unreliable, she has at least spent so much time with everyone, and she always reminds me immediately when there is danger."
Nan Xiaofeng said with a troubled expression,
"Whenever people have something on their mind, they often talk to Bai Ling. Although she can't give you as much great advice as you, Sister Tian Qing, she can still offer some comfort."
"But Bai Ling suddenly became very down yesterday, and I couldn't find a way to help her, so I was very worried... It's all my fault for being so useless, otherwise..."
"I see. Xiao Feng, you've done so much for your friend, that's really impressive. Don't blame yourself too much," Su Tianqing said with a smile, changing the subject.
"Judging from the series of events you just mentioned, Bai Ling has a very close relationship with the stargazer on the albatross's shoulder."
"Even long-lost friends wouldn't be so dazed and confused when they meet... Something must have happened between them that caused Bai Ling to suddenly become like this."
"Is that so..."
Nan Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, as if a burden had been lifted from her heart.
The hands that had been nervously rubbing mahjong tiles on the table relaxed, and the one-of-a-kind tile in her hand was carefully placed back in the center of the mahjong fortress built by Su Tianqing, looking like a great general in a castle.
"Phew... If that's really the case, then that's good. I thought Bai Ling was upset that I didn't ask Senior Albatross about the Stargazers."
"Did Bai Ling mention this to you beforehand?" Su Tianqing asked curiously.
Nan Xiaofeng shook her head.
"No, I only found out yesterday that Bai Ling knew the former stargazer from Rongcheng... Oh no, this is terrible! Since Bai Ling ran back to the Star Realm, she won't listen to anyone's attempts to contact her. How are we supposed to persuade her to come back...?"
"I have a good idea about this."
Su Tianqing leaned forward and said with a smile,
"I've already asked Xiaoyue to go to the Star Realm to find Bai Ling. If it's her, she should be able to find Bai Ling's location quickly, right?"
"Oh right! Xiaoyue! How could I have forgotten about her? I was wondering why she didn't come with you, Tianqing. Turns out she went to the Star Realm!"
Nan Xiaofeng was stunned for a few seconds, then slapped his thigh in sudden realization.
See? I told you that asking Sister Tianqing would be helpful. She had already arranged things I hadn't even thought of last night. She truly is the person I trust the most!
Nan Xiaofeng felt that his respect for Sister Tianqing had reached its peak at this moment, and he quickly asked:
"Did Xiaoyue find Bai Ling?"
"We haven't received a reply yet; we'll probably have to wait a while longer," Su Tianqing answered honestly.
But this did not dampen Nan Xiaofeng's excitement at all. He was like a student who had failed the final exam and was suddenly called to the teacher's office and told, "I think there is room for improvement in your grades. Go back and wait for my notification. I will give you a new score tomorrow."
While chatting and laughing with Nan Xiaofeng, who was in a better mood, Su Tianqing also used some of her fox brain's computing power to probe towards Yue Tianxin.
It's been a whole night, have they found any trace of Bai Ling over in the Star Realm?
Su Tianqing prayed that things wouldn't get too complicated.
