Chapter 330: Forever and Always
At the end of the movie, the villain’s plot was exposed, and the tsundere rabbit police officer was finally won over by the fox con artist, finally expressing her true feelings frankly. Then came the climax of the movie, the kissing scene. Adele covered Xiao Ai’s eyes, who was sitting in her lap, while she herself stared intently at the screen, her cheeks slightly flushed. But she had a reason! This kind of thing was still too early for Xiao Ai. However, the girl seemed to have forgotten who was secretly doing strange things with Seraph behind Xiao Ai’s back yesterday.
It was hard not to suspect that she was really starting to experience what it was like to be a parent. The kind where you wanted to be intimate with your lover, but because the child was right there, and the child was too young to understand, you could only wait until the child fell asleep, then suppress your voices and movements to experience the joy and passion you once had. And any slight movement from the child could make both of you freeze instantly. Although it might not be completely satisfying, looking back, it would be an unforgettable experience. Then you would look at each other, eye to eye, heart to heart, and suddenly burst out laughing. Suddenly feeling that being an old married couple was also great!
But now, Adele and her “wings” were still in the honeymoon phase. It would be a long time before they reached the old married couple stage.
Finally, the rabbit and fox furry lesbians on screen finished kissing. Adele released her hands from Xiao Ai’s eyes. Xiao Ai had a “…” expression. She had been looking forward to it, wanting to see how it was portrayed on TV, to make a little preparation for her future with Mama… Would they stick out their tongues? Would they lick their teeth? Xiao Ai started to have some strange thoughts.
And Adele was still complacent, thinking that she had protected Xiao Ai’s innocence. The girl’s IQ instantly dropped to zero when she was with someone close to her!
“Linlang! What did you think of the movie!?” Adele excitedly asked the girl closest to her for her thoughts. At this moment, Tang Linlang was already tidying up the takeout boxes on the coffee table and cleaning up like a virtuous wife and mother. Hearing Adele’s question, she looked up, tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled, “It was very good. And I feel like Adele is a bit like the protagonist.”
“Eh! I’m not a tsundere!” Adele wasn’t tsundere at all, just dere. Besides, if she had to say who Adele resembled, it would be the rabbit officer with the large chest… Tang Linlang chuckled.
“I was talking about the fox.”
“! Linlang, are you saying I’m a con artist!?” The fox’s role in the movie wasn’t entirely righteous. At first, she did cheat and deceive, and was even caught and put in jail by the rabbit officer. But she wasn’t inherently bad, and after falling in love with the rabbit officer, she gradually changed her ways and eventually stopped the villain’s plot. It was worth mentioning that the fox was the dominant one, and the rabbit officer was the submissive one. But actually, when the rabbit officer handcuffed the taller fox, she had quite a dominant aura. At least, Adele briefly shipped the unconventional pairing.
But that didn’t affect her preference for the soft and tsundere rabbit and her slight aversion to the smooth-talking fox. In her heart, she also considered herself a pure little rabbit, not a deceitful fox! That’s why she cared about Linlang saying she was like a fox.
But Tang Linlang hurriedly waved her hand and explained, “N-No, I didn’t mean Adele was a con artist.”
“I mean, Adele is always so smart and…cunning, giving off the same feeling as the fox.”
“But these are all good qualities! Qualities I like…” Saying this, Tang Linlang glanced at Xiao Ai and consciously held back her next words.
Adele blinked, her heart fluttering at this sudden confession.
“~”
“So that’s how it is.” Adele tasted the sweetness and didn’t pursue it further, turning to the silent cat-girl First Snow, “What about you, First Snow!?”
First Snow seemed a bit dazed, still staring at the ending credits rolling on the screen. Her tail, within Adele’s reach, swayed behind her. Adele grabbed it without hesitation.
“Meow!” A cat’s tail was very sensitive. First Snow immediately turned around, looking up at Adele with adorable eyes.
“…My thoughts, meow?”
“Ugh, I think it’s strange.”
“Eh? What’s strange?”
“It’s just strange, the whole thing is strange!”
Adele immediately perked up her ears, ready to hear First Snow’s thoughts. Had she overlooked some foreshadowing or hint in the movie? Was there another villain? It seemed true that the ending was a bit too easy. Could it be that the real villain hadn’t been caught, and there would be a post-credit scene? Then the fox would suddenly turn around, half her face shrouded in shadow, and give a wicked smile? Adele’s thoughts gave her goosebumps.
But under her anticipation, First Snow’s response, the thing she was truly concerned about, was…
“Why are the animals all fluffy when they turn into humans!?”
“I’m speechless!” Adele thought, Guys, I’m truly speechless today.
But perhaps Adele needed to take this seriously. Because First Snow looked horrified and dazed, as if her understanding of something had been completely overturned. Could it be…that when I transform into a cat-girl, I should be fluffy!? Not like now, with smooth, fair skin, basically the same appearance as a human, just with a pair of cute, fluffy ears and a tail.
If she didn’t properly address First Snow’s current feelings, one day she might become a “furry,” and Adele would regret it! Adele seemed to realize this. This was a major issue concerning the girl’s self-perception. So she quickly explained, “But First Snow is cute just the way you are now!”
“That’s just the movie’s anthropomorphic interpretation of animals.”
“First Snow, you’re perfect just the way you are!”
“…Really, Sister Adele?” First Snow’s expression softened slightly, and she looked into the girl’s eyes earnestly.
Adele’s response was naturally a gentle comfort and embrace.
“Of course it’s true, silly.” She stroked the girl’s fluffy ears, expressing her affection with actions. First Snow was indeed receptive to this and soon returned to her usual lively self.
Tang Linlang also finished cleaning the table at this time. Adele secretly kissed her cheek when no one was looking. Linlang’s heart pounded like a deer.
But then Adele raised her arm high, holding a game controller in her hand. She announced, “So, let’s play games!” Everyone’s attention was drawn to her, no one looking at Tang Linlang. She could slowly savor the happiness brought by that kiss.
The girl’s words were met with positive responses. First Snow and Xiao Ai were clearly more enthusiastic about games than movies. Perhaps the younger you were, the more interested and serious you were about games. But once you grew up, it was difficult to accept slow progress, and you only wanted instant gratification in games, which made games less interesting.
After connecting the console to the screen, Adele started distributing the controllers. She took the pink one, Xiao Ai the red one, First Snow the white one, and Tang Linlang the black one. All colors matched their images. They were playing a party game, as the name suggested, a game played at parties. Multiplayer levels, competing with each other, and many mini-games to liven up the atmosphere. Even the shy Tang Linlang had a lot of fun.
Adele was very competitive, but her luck was even better. Every time she rolled the dice, she got a high number. Perhaps this was also related to the type of dice she chose. The dice she chose were true “gambler’s dice.” Either the highest three numbers or the lowest three numbers. And Adele, blessed by the holy words “Call me a gambling monster,” succeeded again and again, eventually winning the game.
Xiao Ai came in second, First Snow third, and Tang Linlang, who wasn’t competitive and wasn’t good at games, came in fourth, but she looked as happy as Adele. Seeing this, Adele muttered, “Maybe I should add a penalty…”
Time unknowingly passed until evening. The sun set outside the window, and Adele stretched comfortably. For Tang Linlang, the movie had ended, and the games were fun. It seemed like everything was perfect. Even if today’s date was postponed, she wouldn’t have any complaints. Perhaps…there was still a little regret. But Adele seemed tired and needed to rest for a while. If, at this time, she only cared about herself and made Adele force herself, Tang Linlang would feel very bad. And it would also go against the original intention of their feelings.
So after a meaningful silence, Tang Linlang took the initiative to say, “M-Maybe…the date…should be postponed to next time.”
“I had a lot of fun with everyone today.”
“I should go home now.” Tang Linlang smiled with her eyes closed. Was she afraid of letting others see the disappointment in her eyes? The considerate girl was good at wronging herself for others. But wasn’t she the most pitiful one?
Adele suddenly took Tang Linlang’s hand, regardless of First Snow and Xiao Ai watching from the side, and looked into the girl’s eyes earnestly. She waited until Tang Linlang’s pupils trembled and her eyelids gradually opened, then said in a firm voice, “I’ll go home with you.”
The girl’s voice was actually soft and cute, but at this moment, no one would doubt her determination. This moment, although fleeting, felt like an eternity to Tang Linlang.
