Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 31 Hibiscus Orange (Part Two) (Please continue reading!)

An Jincheng didn't know why she followed Tang Feng to the amusement park.

Perhaps it was the other party's combination of soft and hard tactics that made it impossible for her to refuse.

Perhaps she just wanted to relax completely.

However, it cannot be denied that Tang Feng's words played a very important role.

"I imagine you haven't taken a single day off since becoming a magical girl, have you?"

"You seem like a very responsible girl. Besides eliminating the disaster beasts, taking care of Jinju must be an essential part of your daily work, right?"

"Why not try giving yourself a day off? Experience what it feels like to completely relax?"

An Jincheng admitted that she was a little bit tempted.

It's the weekend, and there's no warning of any calamity beasts. A new S-class pillar has arrived in the city, so she doesn't need to worry too much. The only thing she needs to be concerned about is that Jinju is home alone and has no food to eat.

But she's already so old, if she could still starve to death, An Jincheng might not even want to offer incense to this shameful younger sister.

I'll bring her something delicious tonight to make it up to her.

And so, in a daze, An Jincheng agreed to Tang Feng's request.

Somehow, I ended up at the amusement park.

Without really knowing what was going on, I ended up on the roller coaster.

Sitting in the first row of the roller coaster, An Jincheng closed her eyes, experiencing the whooshing sound of the wind rushing past her ears.

She was slightly surprised by the screams of the others. This roller coaster wasn't that scary, was it? It was supposed to be the most thrilling and exciting ride, but none of them could fly as fast as she could.

She turned her head and looked at Tang Feng, who was also sitting next to her with his eyes closed in fear. Suddenly, she felt that riding a roller coaster wasn't such a pointless thing after all.

At least he meant well, wanting to give her a different experience.

After getting off the roller coaster, Tang Feng patted his chest with lingering fear. "That was so thrilling! The almost vertical plunge and continuous flips made me think I was going to fall several times. How did you feel?"

"Hmm...it's very interesting, and I'm very happy."

"But your expression tells me that's not the case at all!"

"Ah, I'm sorry, my acting skills haven't reached the level that can fool Teacher Tang Feng yet," An Jincheng apologized, her face slightly flushed.

"I don't believe it anymore, continue!"

Tang Feng then dragged An Jincheng to experience the spinning swing, the giant pendulum, the pirate ship, and other rides, but without exception, none of them could make An Jincheng blink more than twice.

Finally, to Tang Feng's surprise, it was the bumper cars that piqued An Jincheng's interest.

The two were each driving a bumper car, crashing into each other wildly.

Impact, backward, collision.

"I didn't expect you to have so much fun with this," Tang Feng said while controlling the car.

An Jincheng's eyes gleamed with excitement as she drove the bumper car and crashed into Tang Feng again.

"When I was little, Jinju and I often went to the amusement park and played this game. Even though she couldn't beat me, I would always let her win and pretend to lose. This time, I'm determined to experience what it feels like to win!"

Not long after, Tang Feng's bumper car was knocked to the edge of the arena.

"I surrender, I surrender." Tang Feng raised the white flag.

"Yes! I won!"

But their good fortune didn't last long; they were spotted by the children driving bumper cars nearby.

When adult objects appear in the children's area, the children work together, driving bumper cars to drive them away!

The scene became chaotic, and Tang Feng and An Jincheng became teammates to fight against the children's alliance.

Unfortunately, two fists cannot fight four hands, and the two were ultimately defeated.

Afterwards, the two looked at each other and laughed simultaneously.

"What are you laughing at? Didn't you lose to a kid too?" An Jincheng lightly punched him in embarrassment and annoyance.

"What I'm laughing at is that I never expected Jin Cheng to have such a childish side. It's really surprising. No, let me laugh a little longer, hahaha..."

An Jincheng blushed. She opened her mouth, but realized that nothing she said could salvage her image. So she could only let out a soft hum and turn her face away, not wanting the other person to see her blushing with embarrassment.

The last stop in the amusement park was the Ferris wheel.

As the Ferris wheel slowly turned, the small cabin where the two were located gradually lifted off the ground.

"Jincheng, do you know what a Ferris wheel means?"

Tang Feng looked at the slowly moving scenery outside the cabin and spoke casually.

An Jincheng was also looking at the scenery outside the cabin. Hearing Tang Feng's words, she turned her head with some confusion, "Meaning? What special meaning could a Ferris wheel have?"

Tang Feng was surprised that the other party didn't know; it seemed that this girl was much more naive than he had imagined.

So he painstakingly explained.

"Ferris wheels, they're a perfect dating spot. Imagine, a lone man and woman in this tiny cabin, slowly rising off the ground and ascending into the sky. This is their completely private time; no one can disturb them. They can enjoy the scenery together and do something even more intimate. Don't you think it's a very romantic atmosphere?"

Upon hearing this, An Jincheng pondered for a moment, and her face gradually turned red.

She turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery outside nonchalantly. "So you're saying I'm on a sinking ship? Now I can't escape even if I want to."

Tang Feng smiled. "You're a magical girl, escaping should be easy for you, right?"

An Jincheng gave a soft humph. "So you mean you want me to leave right now?"

"But I think Jin Cheng, who is like an angel, would never have the heart to leave me here alone."

"I never expected Teacher Tang Feng to be so glib. My image of you is shattered."

"Actually, you know very well that no one can be as perfect as they appear, right? That would be unrealistic." Tang Feng's smile faded, and he looked at An Jincheng seriously. "Those are just perfect masks we wear. Me too, Shengxue too, and you... too."

"Saint Snow?" An Jincheng tilted her head. "Teacher Tang Feng, since you've given the Ferris wheel such a meaning, even I can't guarantee I won't mind if you mention another girl inside."

"I see her like I see your sister, because you two are similar in some ways, which is why I brought her up as an example. For instance, if I mention Jinju now, would you mind?" Tang Feng explained briefly.

An Jincheng thought for a moment, "That won't happen."

"Then you can treat her as your sister for now," Tang Feng paused for a moment before continuing.

"Her mask was perfect, and I was deceived by her for a time. Later I realized that under the mask was a truth called 'willfulness'. In fact, she longed to be a willful girl."

As for me, I have many masks. What you see is only the radiant Teacher Tang Feng at the very top. As for the ones below... I doubt anyone would want to remove them.

And Jin Cheng, your mask is perfect too—a magical girl revered by all, a caring older sister, loving everything in the world, like an angel spreading light upon humanity. But what lies beneath that mask?

Tang Feng looked at An Jincheng, his eyes flashing. "No matter what, you're just a teenage girl. No matter how high your divinity is, you're still just a human being. So, let me guess what's behind your mask."

An Jincheng interrupted Tang Feng, "But isn't this perfect mask good enough? Why must it be removed?"

"Because the mask has weight, it can feel tiring to wear. Even if you get used to wearing it for a long time, you will feel relaxed the moment you take it off."

Tang Feng patiently explained, knowing that breaking through her emotional defenses would not be easy and that he needed to analyze the situation more carefully.

"Since we've decided to relax today, why not take this opportunity to truly relax? Why not try taking off the mask and see what happens?"

An Jincheng lowered her eyes and fell silent.

After a while, she looked up and said, "How about... Mr. Tang Feng guesses? If you guess right, I can put it aside for a while."

Upon hearing this, Tang Feng revealed a confident smile; he seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"Behind the mask, what you crave is love."

"All along, you've been the one giving your love to others, and you've risked your life to save one person after another from the clutches of the monsters. But when you're in danger, few people are there to save you."

"You've loved your sister since you were little, and I can already guess how much you've quietly sacrificed for her over the past ten years. Fortunately, your sister loves you too, which can make up for some of the love you've lacked."

"You're always the one giving, I can tell. You've never been in a relationship before. With your looks and qualities, it's impossible that no guy would like you, right?"

"What made you reject them? I don't think it was just innate aloofness, right? At the age of teens, no one doesn't yearn for a passionate or bittersweet romance; it's human nature."

"Because you don't have the time or energy to fall in love again. You've devoted all your time and energy to eliminating the monsters. The rest of your time is spent studying, taking care of girls, and shouldering the responsibilities of your family and society."

"The love you crave isn't just romantic love; it includes the affection of elders, the friendship of peers, and the respect of the world, Jincheng, am I right?"

After saying so much in one breath, Tang Feng took a breather. He looked at the silent girl opposite him and launched his final attack.

"Why not take off your mask today and be your true self? You can treat me like an adult, I won't laugh at you."

An Jincheng finally chuckled softly, "You're not that much older than me, why are you pretending to be so mature?"

Tang Feng slowly opened his arms, his gaze towards the girl gentle and tender. "You can treat me as a teacher, an elder, a friend, or even a lover. You can choose whichever kind of love you want, and I will do my best to play the corresponding role so that you can truly experience it."

Looking at the other person's open arms, An Jincheng remained silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled, "So amazing, I wonder how many girls you've fooled to gain this experience."

Tang Feng turned his head away. "It's not about experience, it's about the skills of a psychology mentor. Otherwise, why would the school make an exception and hire a male teacher like me?"

"That's so unfair!"

An Jincheng stared blankly at Tang Feng, her eyes flickering as if water were flowing within them. Just before her eyes overflowed, she closed them and gently embraced him.

At this moment, the Ferris wheel rose to its highest point.

Tang Feng gently embraced the serene girl in his arms, making no unnecessary movements. At this moment, he was the refuge of her soul, and any action he took would be a desecration of this trust and affection.

He silently felt the girl's soft body; her waist was so slender that it could be grasped in one hand. Even through a thin layer of clothing, he could feel the warmth and elasticity of her skin.

He pressed his face slightly closer to the girl's head; her smooth hair felt like the finest silk, delicate, cool, and exuding a faint shampoo scent.

The girl's unique body fragrance was also tantalizing Tang Feng's nose, mixed with the scent of shampoo, the smell was very faint, yet refreshing.

He unconsciously tightened his embrace, pressing the two of them together without any gap. An Jincheng did not resist, simply leaning quietly against his chest, seemingly feeling his pounding heartbeat.

Tang Feng then doubled his heart rate.

A satisfied smile appeared on the girl's lips.

The two embraced quietly, as if they would stay in each other's arms until the Ferris wheel landed.

The ground suddenly trembled, even affecting the cabins high above the Ferris wheel.

Tang Feng frowned slightly. After glancing into the distance, he quietly stretched out a hand and pressed down.

An Jincheng also reacted. She lifted her head from Tang Feng's arms and looked in the direction from which the vibration came.

"A calamity beast?"

No, it's your imagination.

Tang Feng hugged the girl again.

After silently sensing the vibrations for a while, and seeing no further tremors, An Jincheng closed her eyes again.

Hundreds of meters away, fleeing pedestrians watched in astonishment as the several-meter-tall monster leaped high from the ground, seemingly about to launch an attack.

Then... he fell to the ground and died.

This is the first recorded instance in history of a calamity beast that fell to its death.

However, since the monsters lack intelligence, people have various speculations about this behavior, and for a time, opinions were divided.

Meanwhile, the perpetrator was on the Ferris wheel, holding the girl's fragrant and soft body, motionless.

The two remained in that position until the Ferris wheel slowly descended.

An Jincheng voluntarily left Tang Feng's embrace.

Tang Feng laughed and said, "How is it? Can you feel the love overflowing throughout your body?"

An Jincheng shook her head, a thoughtful look in her eyes. "However, it is indeed a very incredible experience."

"What role did you just play for me? An elder? A friend? Or...?"

"you guess."

An Jincheng winked mischievously and walked away on her own, but you could tell from her bouncing long hair that she was in a very good mood.

Tang Feng caught up with her from behind and walked alongside her.

"Shall we go see a movie next?" He turned his head to look at the girl beside him.

Even though she didn't know the meaning of Ferris wheels, she knew what going to the movies like this meant.

"OK."

An Jincheng brushed her long hair, which had been ruffled by the breeze, and looked at the fireball that was beginning to descend from the horizon.

Since you've decided to completely relax, then experience it all on this one day...

Moreover, An Jincheng discovered that after the long-awaited relaxation, her magic flowed more smoothly. The pleasant flow of magic washed over her body again and again, and the remaining magic was constantly converging towards the Heart Gem.

At that moment, the jewel on her chest also emitted a faint, inconspicuous glow.

Perhaps if she continues at this pace, it won't be long before she reaches S-rank and becomes a truly top-tier magical girl.

"Thanks."

She said this silently to Tang Feng in her heart.
