My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

"These cards are all pretty good, and these magical girls are all so cute... I can collect them all..."

Ye Jingjing pointed to the cards in front of the stall with her finger and introduced them with a lack of confidence.

The boy nodded, but his mind was still on his friend's topic, "Hey! What's so pretty about Hoshino? Her face looks no different from other magical girls, does it?"

"This card is no good, it only shows the upper body of the face..." the guy commented expertly.

Ye Jingjing's face darkened... Wasn't the upper body acceptable? The clear facial features were printed so well!

"The coolest thing about her is her wings, which are bigger than a person and have a semi-transparent metallic texture. Well-made cards will even have metallic patterns and lots of details... Unlike this one, which is just a front view and not interesting."

My friend didn't hold back and proudly gave his ignorant friend a lecture on the spot, while also expressing his disdain for the ordinary cards in front of him.

"Wow, he's so handsome! I don't think I've ever seen him before..."

"It's said to be a new costume that Hoshino has recently appeared. She's rarely used, but some great companies have already made merchandise for her. It's just that it's hard to get her..." My friend looked at the magical girl card in his hand with some envy, his mind already drifting to the cool and awe-inspiring wings.

The young man looked at his friend, then hesitated, "So... should I still buy this? The ones in Tianhai City don't seem so appealing anymore."

Ye Jingjing watched as the "duck" in front of her was about to fly away. She stammered as she picked up the set of cards she had just finished building and answered:

"But those cards that show off the formal attire are really big and really expensive. This whole set has twenty characters... It looks pretty good on display, and it's only ninety yuan..."

"Huh? Isn't it a hundred dollars?" Both of them looked over.

"No... it's ninety yuan. If... if you want, I can also give you a Star Feather badge as a gift."

Even though she was just a primary school student, Ye Jingjing stuttered a bit when speaking to strangers. But she couldn't lose customers she had already won over, so she tried her best to please them and hoped to keep their money.

"Hmm, it seems alright." The boy hesitated for a moment, holding the badge, which was covered in flowing golden powder.

"Sure, you can buy it and then give me the badge," the guy said with a shameless grin.

"...You haven't paid back the money you borrowed from me! Trying to get something for nothing? Dream on!"

However, after my friend mentioned it, the badge in my hand suddenly seemed much more sought after. Anyway, it was a free gift with the purchase of the whole set of cards, so it would be a huge loss not to take it.

"Okay, I'll take it." He nodded, turned around, and took money out of his bag.

"Fantastic!" Ye Jingjing exclaimed inwardly, "This means I've made progress again!"

"Should I pack it up for you?"

"No need, I'll put it in my bag."

She leaned closer, picked up the item, listened, and handed it to the other person, taking the counted ninety yuan with her.

"Hey—isn't this Ye Jingjing?"

Hearing this classic sarcastic remark, Ye Jingjing's gaze wandered slightly. She lowered her head slightly and silently stuffed the coins into her small wallet.

"Liao Jiayun!" A group of men and women stepped forward, but instead of looking at the merchandise, they sized up Ye Jingjing. The girl standing at the front, who was about the same age as her, was the one who had spoken sarcastically at the beginning.

The boy next to her shoved Liao Jiayun hard, giving her a look that warned her not to embarrass herself in public.

The elementary school student, having finished packing up his goods, glanced at the group of people, all of whom were much older than him. He sensed that the older girl's expression was a bit off, so he and his friend quietly left the stall.

Seeing the customer leave, Liao Jiayun stepped forward and took a spot in front of the stall, and the others had no choice but to follow her.

Liao Jiayun moved closer and scrutinized Ye Jingjing more carefully. This time, her tone wasn't as sarcastic. "You've been out of school for so long... just to set up a stall? You don't seem like you're broke."

The people next to him didn't speak, but their eyes were full of doubt, clearly they were also very curious.

"Your grades were so good, yet you still insisted on dropping out. Your homeroom teacher was driven crazy by you back then. You have no idea how much she criticized you every day. She thought you were going to do something amazing by not going to school, and this is it?"

As she spoke, Liao Jiayun looked indignant, with a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction.

Ye Jingjing glanced at the group of people. They were all her classmates from junior high school; she recognized them all, but wasn't particularly close… in fact, she barely knew anyone from school. She puffed out her cheeks and after a long pause, finally managing to utter a sentence:

"Do you...do you want to buy merchandise?"

"If you don't want it, don't let so many people block the way...it's affecting my...making money."

Ye Jingjing finished speaking with a clear mind but stuttering speech, which infuriated her classmates.

"you!"

The other students, including the boy who had just reminded Liao Jiayun, also looked embarrassed, as if they were used to Ye Jingjing's words, but also somewhat helpless.

She's just that difficult to communicate with. Despite consistently maintaining the top grades in her class, she receives special attention from teachers, and while her classmates are envious and jealous, they also want to get close to her and learn from her.

However, she was somewhat difficult to communicate with, spoke little, and often said things that made it difficult to continue the conversation.

Liao Jiayun picked up the cardboard from the stall, looked it over, and scoffed, "I didn't expect you to be so stupid, besides being a street urchin. What's the point of selling these scraps of paper? They won't turn into real people to protect you. If you want to see what they look like, there are plenty of videos on your phone."

Ye Jingjing looked at the other person with some confusion, clearly not knowing where the other person's hostility came from, nor understanding the other person's logic.

Jealousy? Jealous of what? Jealous of magical girls?

"Why are you telling me this... I just sell merchandise, and this stuff sells really well..." Ye Jingjing glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and continued softly, "Low cost, high profit, it's just... a lot of people buy it."

Seeing the other person's innocent expression, Liao Jiayun couldn't understand what she was angry about either, and said irritably, "Come back to school with us! The affiliated high school is right next door. Go apologize to the teacher and beg her to let you go back to school! You've fallen so low, selling yourself outside every day without even being ashamed!"

The ninth-grade girl's words were straightforward, attracting the attention of people at the nearby stalls who turned their gazes towards her with interest, drawn by a few key words. The boy accompanying her coughed a few times, put his hands in his pockets, and looked up at the sky.

Ye Jingjing wasn't embarrassed at all. She widened her bright eyes and frowned, "You're going to be the teacher's lackey... his lackey, huh? What I sell... what I sell is none of your business. Are you my parents? You're like you're dead..."

"What did you say?! Are you cursing me?" Liao Jiayun immediately lost her temper.

The others were also somewhat embarrassed. One of them said in a rather harsh tone, "Ye Jingjing, you're just wasting your life like this. We can call the police to arrest you. Students should stay in school. The way you're doing... and even swearing, is really awful."
