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

"So, uncle... big brother, you came to find me?"

"It just so happens to be nearby. I heard you were going to set up a stall, but I didn't expect you to actually sell these things outside the school... sigh." Tang Ming pointed to the cards in the bag.

"The fact that you found me here... means you know I wasn't just making this up."

"Never mind, I have something to discuss with you..." Tang Ming said thoughtfully after seeing that the two had already walked out of the crowd.

"Something related to magic?" Ye Jingjing guessed.

"I can't hide it from you anymore... The magic stones I dug out of those buildings were all stored in a secret base. But now the base is unusable, and the magic stones and the medium need to be moved. I don't know where to put them..."

Tang Ming smiled and, no longer hiding his worries, explained them to Tang Ming.

Of course, he would never mention the fact that other wizards had mistakenly entered the "base" and were killed by him in his virtual beast form.

In Ye Jingjing's eyes, Tang Ming was still the same as before, a strange man with no magical senses but skilled experience in using magical mediums.

"If you're free... take the subway to where I parked my car; those things are still there."

In the afternoon, Hua Lingyou dragged him to the edge of the city to watch a play, so he had no choice but to pack up all the media and throw them into the car.

"Okay, I've already made a few hundred yuan... Do you want to put these media in my house?" Ye Jingjing looked at Tang Ming, her eyes sparkling.

"Yes... there's no one at home, and you can sense magic, you have a talent for magic, and you can use those mediums on your own... how about it?"

Tang Ming nodded, then asked somewhat tentatively. After thinking it over, he realized that Ye Jingjing's house seemed to be the most suitable place to store these things. The girl knew about the things he had dug up and also had some understanding of magic.

Most importantly, after spending half a year together, he might be able to trust Ye Jingjing.

"You finally decided to let me use it?" Ye Jingjing tilted her head, revealing her eyes hidden by her hair, and stared at him slyly.

"How could I be reluctant to part with them? These things are really dangerous and can easily attract trouble and unnecessary people. I have no other choice..."

What Tang Ming didn't say was that the unusual substance in his hands was the greatest source of his confidence. If things were still the same as before, he would never have dared to put these "treasures" into Ye Jingjing's hands.

The unnecessary trouble that this caused them was something neither of them could handle...

Ye Jingjing was very clever. Although she was joking, she looked at Tang Ming with a strange gaze, wondering why he had suddenly changed his mind.

Tang Ming turned his head away, avoiding the little girl's gaze. "What do you think? If it's inconvenient, I'll look for other suitable ones."

"It's definitely great!" Ye Jingjing realized her voice was a bit loud and shrank back to a timid tone, "...With so many magic stones and mediums, I can study them for a long time."

"...But why not put it at your house?"

Tang Ming and Ye Jingjing swiped their cards to enter the subway station one after the other. After boarding the train, the two stood at the connecting area. Ye Jingjing leaned lazily against the carriage wall, while Tang Ming held onto the railing to block the cold wind from the carriage.

"I still have family members... I'm not entirely comfortable with the other person," Tang Ming said vaguely after thinking for a moment.

"Someone...is your wife?" Ye Jingjing looked at him suspiciously.

"right."

"Uh... and you look so constipated... is having a wife a really awkward thing?" Ye Jingjing said strangely. "But, big brother, you're so young... and you're already married. I really can't believe it. You never seemed to have mentioned it before."

Tang Ming realized he was acting strangely, but he was never used to having someone like that around, so he clenched his fist and pretended to cough.

"The main problem is that my wife doesn't know about these things, and I don't really want her to know... The origins of the magical medium are sensitive, and I'm not comfortable with that."

"Can't even husband and wife be trusted...? Then how did you two get together? Is the older brother a scumbag, after his money or his looks?"

Ye Jingjing covered her mouth, and Tang Ming could see the disbelief in her eyes even through her bangs.

"You... how can you talk nonsense like your classmate? Don't spout off, okay? I have a loving family, I'm just too lazy to explain..."

Tang Ming gave Ye Jingjing a chop to the head. His eyes were a little unfocused, but it was impossible for him to blush when lying to a child.

His ability to talk nonsense without batting an eye was his greatest source of confidence when facing Lin Ruoyu. For almost a year now, she probably hasn't realized his "abnormality" and still treats him as her husband as before.

Hmm, that means he figured it out and concealed it very well.

"Okay..." Ye Jingjing mumbled pitifully, covering her head.

"Then leave it here with me. There hasn't been anyone in my house for hundreds of years."

This time, Tang Ming did not respond quickly. He simply looked down at Ye Jingjing, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

After getting off the subway, the two walked to where Tang Ming had parked his car and then drove to Ye Jingjing's house.

Ye Jingjing inserted the key into the lock, pushed open the door, knelt on the ground, and took out the slippers from under the shoe cabinet.

"Uh, thank you." Tang Ming was a little embarrassed; it was a child's job to entertain an adult like him.

Ye Jingjing's soft, sweet voice revealed a hint of pleasure, "You're the only guest in the house..."

Tang Ming entered the house and looked around. It wasn't big, with two bedrooms and a living room, but it was more than enough for Ye Jingjing, a student.

This is a relatively old neighborhood, built before the Void invasion. Downstairs, some residents are brewing tea, playing cards, and chatting, their voices drifting into their living rooms through the balcony curtains.

Tang Ming had been to this room several times, and each time his first impression was that it was desolate and lifeless.

The old neighborhood outside the window is bustling with activity. Whether it's morning or afternoon, people are going to work, going to school, retiring, or hawking their wares, making this old neighborhood lively and bustling.

However, Ye Jingjing's home was quite cold in May, and the traditional, even outdated, wooden decor did not add any warmth to the interior.

"You haven't been to school for months?" Tang Ming couldn't help but break the atmosphere, starting with the topic that students hate the most.

"I forgot... I stopped going to school not long after the start of the semester this year." Ye Jingjing put the small stool in the corner, sat on the sofa with the inner leather cracked, and took out a stack of magical girl cards from the bag.

"Oh... why did you two start fighting? They even tried to drag you to school..."

Tang Ming realized there was no need to talk about school anymore, so he brought up what had just happened. He was genuinely curious: were middle school students these days so outspoken and righteous?

Seeing a "delinquent" dropout, instead of feeling envy, admiration, or contempt, I thought about bringing them back to school to be educated by teachers...

"I don't understand either..." Ye Jingjing looked at Tang Ming innocently and thought about it carefully.

"That Liao Jiayun came up to pick a fight with me, she probably disliked me back in class... and I disliked her for being nosy and nagging like my mother..."

"Then...then she said she was dead, that she felt I was cursing her..." Ye Jingjing suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, that's why she attacked me. She said nice things, but it was just revenge."

Tang Ming's eyelids twitched, as if he wanted to say something.

"..."

In the end, he silently picked up his bag.

He first met Ye Jingjing at the top of the Sky Tower, the tallest building in Fangzhou City that was abandoned due to an accident right after it was completed.

At that time, he was following his dream to find a "medium," while Ye Jingjing was jumping off a building.
