Go to work, and then educate magical girls.

Chapter 32 Hibiscus Orange (Part 3)

In the dark movie theater, the big screen was the only source of light. The light from the screen flickered and shone on the faces of the audience, reflecting pale faces.

It wasn't a horror movie playing; the light source was simply a stark white.

The story playing on the screen is a cliché tale of a hero defeating a demon king.

The difference is that the hero is a female hero, and then... she falls in love with the Demon King.

Okay, that's even more cliché.

Tang Feng was already yawning. He grabbed a handful of popcorn from the armrest and stuffed it into his mouth.

To his surprise, An Jincheng was actually watching with great interest.

But this is good, as it makes it easier for him to take the next step.

The two stared at the big screen, casually grabbing popcorn and putting it into their mouths.

When the popcorn was almost gone, Tang Feng secretly removed the paper tube.

An Jincheng's small hand landed directly in Tang Feng's large hand.

Now that they're here, there's no way they're going to escape.

Tang Feng gripped it tightly.

But to his surprise, after an initial symbolic struggle, the little hand in his palm quickly became docile and allowed him to hold it tightly.

In the pitch black, no one noticed their hands clasped together.

Tang Feng glanced sideways at the girl next to him, only to see that she was acting as if nothing had happened, continuing to watch the big screen as if the little hand that had been grabbed wasn't hers.

Since the other party didn't object, he decided to experience it seriously.

The soft hand in my hand felt like the most beautiful warm jade in the world; its skin was cool and its touch was delicate, making it irresistible.

After holding it quietly for a while, Tang Feng couldn't help but start to examine it closely.

He parted her slender, jade-like fingers, grasped them from the back of her hand, and inserted his own fingers inside.

He touched and experienced every slightly protruding joint, every soft and delicate fingertip, and even the smooth and long nail.

Every part of the magical girl's body is the most wonderful gift bestowed by God. If given the chance, he would put it in his mouth and savor these unique delicacies.

As he reached out and gently scratched her palm, the girl finally couldn't help but let out a soft squeak.

"abnormal."

Tang Feng, feigning nonchalance, withdrew his fingers and released An Jincheng's small hand, realizing that the truth had been discovered so quickly.

He knew not to go too far the first time; he understood the importance of moderation and proceeding gradually.

Tang Feng stood up from his seat. "Are you thirsty after eating popcorn? I'll go buy some juice."

He deliberately left at this moment, giving her time to reflect. If he had stayed next to her, the lack of change in environment would not have been as effective, and she might have turned her attention to the big screen.

Just as the atmosphere is about to reach its peak, you withdraw, leaving the other person feeling awkward and empty – that's the effect you want.

He knew that An Jincheng would never show it, but it would still have some effect.

Not long after, Tang Feng returned to his seat with two glasses of juice.

Too much time apart is also not good; once the other party has cooled down, it will be counterproductive.

Tang Feng handed a glass of juice to the other person, sipped his juice, and casually placed his other hand on the armrest in the middle, pretending to be watching the movie intently.

He didn't have to wait long before a cool, soft little hand reached out and wrapped around him. With a gentle movement of their fingertips, their hands were joined together again.

"Don't move, okay?" came the girl's gentle voice.

Tang Feng chose to respect the other party's will.

Their hands remained clasped together until the end of the movie.

As the main lights in the screening room came on, illuminating everything around her, An Jincheng suddenly realized what was happening and withdrew her hand.

The two left the movie theater side by side, tacitly avoiding mentioning holding hands in the dark, and instead started talking about the movie they had just watched.

"What did you think of the movie just now?"

"Overall, it's okay, but there are many illogical parts. For example, why did the female hero suddenly abandon the male priest she grew up with? And why did the demon king suddenly commit suicide for love? Isn't he the demon king? Why didn't he consider his subordinates? They were all wiped out later. It feels weird to watch."

"You actually took it to heart? Your evaluation is actually 'not bad'?!" Tang Feng's eyes widened.

"Ah, is something wrong?" An Jincheng saw the other person's surprised expression, like a little girl who had made a mistake, and her face turned slightly red.

"Haven't you watched many movies?" Tang Feng vaguely guessed the reason.

"When I was little, my whole family watched hero movies together, but I've forgotten most of them now..." An Jincheng's speech slowed down.

"Looks like he hasn't watched the show or read the novel either, which makes it less surprising." Tang Feng stroked his chin and pondered, "Someone brought up a dish of excrement and said it was a delicacy. Because he had never tasted a real delicacy, he mistakenly thought that's what a delicacy tasted like, even though it would feel strange."

"vulgar."

An Jincheng's face turned even redder at such a vulgar metaphor; she hadn't expected these words to come from Tang Feng's mouth.

"Teacher Tang Feng, you have truly shattered my previous understanding of you today."

Tang Feng smiled nonchalantly, "You've already taken off your mask. Wouldn't it be unfair for me to keep wearing it?"

"Although this really touches me..." An Jincheng hesitated for a moment, "but if you really want to be my boyfriend, you still can't go too far, I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on Jinju."

Tang Feng pondered to himself, "A metaphor about excrement is vulgar, but she can't resist holding hands. What an innocent and wonderful girl she is."

Despite being the most mature among the girls in terms of age, she was psychologically as innocent as a blank sheet of paper.

This may be related to her past experiences. She never had time for herself to do her own things, and she was deprived of everything that teenage girls should have and experience.

Then, without realizing it, she was about to grow up.

Tang Feng felt a pang of regret.

She gave away the most beautiful years of her youth, just like her love, while she herself was a little girl who lacked love.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

Tang Feng's lips curled into an wicked smile without his notice.

He would fill this blank sheet of paper with his own colors, freely wielding his brush and splashing ink, doodling and scribbling, until the fruit ripened and fell, and the original pure white appearance could no longer be seen.

"Teacher Tang Feng, what are you laughing at?" The girl's gentle and clear voice interrupted the gloomy thoughts in Tang Feng's mind.

"I'm laughing. There are too many movies and TV shows these days that are all show and no substance. I clearly want to see a classic story of a hero defeating a demon king, but the director insists on making them fall in love." Tang Feng said casually.

"Are there many works like this?" An Jincheng had no idea about this.

"Yes, this type of drama, no matter what it is, whether it's gods falling in love, cops and robbers falling in love, aliens falling in love, or now even the demon king is falling in love."

"Isn't it good to be in a relationship?"

Tang Feng was momentarily speechless. Then, remembering why he had brought Jin Cheng to see this movie, he asked, "If you were that female hero, would you fall in love with the Demon King?"

An Jincheng tilted her head slightly, thought about it seriously for a moment, and then shook her head. "I don't know, I can't relate at all."

"Then... try replacing the Demon King with a monster, and the Hero with a magical girl?"

"I will kill the other party cleanly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation," An Jincheng blurted out without thinking.

"I see..." Tang Feng nodded slightly. "Then you can understand why these romance movies are so disliked, right? Maybe the next one will be a magical girl falling in love with a monster?"

An Jincheng was silent for a while, then said, "It's terrifying to think about. I agree with your point of view now."

Tang Feng nodded in agreement. "I hope the world of magical girls falling in love with monsters will never exist."

Stepping out of the movie theater, I looked up and was greeted by a sky full of stars.

The bustling city streets are brightly lit, with pedestrians thronging the streets, and the vibrant nightlife is just beginning.

Tang Feng took the other's hand and said, "Stay close, don't get lost."

Unexpectedly, the little hand in my palm struggled desperately, like a slippery little eel.

They were perfectly fine holding hands in the movie theater, and he even clung to her. But now that they're outside, he's acting like this?

Perhaps it's because the movie theater was dark, while now it's bustling with people.

Although Tang Feng could understand the girl's modesty and shame, he was a seasoned veteran who knew when to be gentle and when to be firm.

The inexperienced girl was completely at his mercy, completely at his mercy.

They're not even in the same league.

Tang Feng tightly gripped the struggling little hand, refusing to let go no matter what.

An Jincheng struggled for a long time to no avail. The other person's grip was incredibly strong, and she was too embarrassed to use magic under these circumstances, so she could only sigh softly and let the other person lead her.

She actually quite likes this feeling.

Being held in the other person's warm, large hand gives you a strange sense of security.

Even though she was the magical girl and so much stronger than him, in front of him, she seemed to be the one who needed to be protected.

Is it really as he said, that falling in love with someone of the opposite sex is an inescapable fate for girls of this age?

An Jincheng didn't know if she liked Tang Feng, but in any case, he had given her many feelings she had never experienced before.

Since she had never experienced it before, she didn't know if this feeling was what it meant to be in love.

Anyway, she didn't dislike this feeling; in fact, she found it very comfortable and enjoyable.

Let him be...

She grasped the other person's hand in return and blended into the crowd.

The night market was bustling and noisy. The two walked with the flow of people, looking at the dazzling array of food carts and small shops on both sides, and occasionally buying a skewer of street food.

A little girl bumped into the two of them, holding up a rose in her hand.

"Hey handsome young man, your girlfriend is so pretty, why don't you buy her a bouquet of roses?"

An Jincheng didn't mind the nickname, because by the end of the day, she had gotten used to being mistaken for his girlfriend by shop owners, ticket sellers, and the like in various places.

She glanced at Tang Feng beside her. Were they really such a good match? Despite the significant age difference, why weren't they perceived as having a different kind of relationship?

Tang Feng squatted down slightly, looking at the adorable little girl in front of him. "You're so good at talking, shouldn't you call me uncle?"

"My mom says that anyone without a beard should be called 'brother'."

Tang Feng subconsciously touched his chin, realizing that he usually cleaned it too thoroughly.

The little girl held up the rose in her hand again, "And the big brother is so handsome, he looks very young."

Tang Feng couldn't help but chuckle. "Alright, how much?"

"Twenty yuan a flower," came the little girl's innocent voice.

Turns out she's a heartless little girl.

"Why don't you just rob it?"

"My older brother's girlfriend is so beautiful, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, so the roses should be worthy of her. I chose the prettiest and most expensive one."

An Jincheng smiled as well. She leaned down slightly and took the rose from the little girl's hand. "I'll buy it."

She tucked the rose into Tang Feng's shirt pocket and said softly, "You gave me one during the day, and now I'm returning the favor."

Tang Feng turned around nonchalantly, his tone slightly reproachful, "It's so expensive, it's enough to buy my whole bouquet."

"That little girl is very cute, has a sweet tongue, and works very hard. Consider this a reward for her."

Tang Feng knew that An Jincheng saw a reflection of her past in the little girl, who was so young yet shouldered heavy responsibilities and was striving to be independent.

After strolling around for a while longer, it was finally time for them to part ways.

"Thank you, Teacher Tang Feng, for showing me so much today."

"You can use a different form of address. After all, I'm not your teacher, and it sounds a bit odd," Tang Feng finally pointed out.

An Jincheng tilted her head. "Then... Tang Feng?"

Tang Feng nodded slightly. "That sounds much more natural."

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'll need you to give Jinju a lot of guidance and advice."

An Jincheng brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "She's my sister. This is what I should do. I should say thank you for your trouble."

"However, if she finds out about our relationship, she will definitely be very emotional, so you should be mentally prepared."

"What...what's our relationship?" An Jincheng winked playfully.

"What you consider a relationship." Tang Feng directly passed the buck back to Tang Feng.

"Alright, it's getting late, I should go. Jinju is probably getting impatient at home."

An Jincheng waved. "I'm really happy today. Thank you, Tang Feng. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." Tang Feng waved goodbye as well.

The next moment, a cool, soft pair of lips touched the corner of his mouth and gave it a light, fleeting peck.

An Jincheng looked up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips. "Now the experience is finally complete. Bye-bye."

Tang Feng acted decisively, catching the girl who was trying to steal a kiss and run away, and turning her face back to him.

"There are other experiences you haven't had yet."

Tang Feng pressed his lips against the girl's slightly pouting lips without any hesitation.
