After get off work, I become a magical girl

Who could this person be? Xia Liang? Bai Jingxuan? Or Aso Yuanxiang? It couldn't be because I said something wrong when I was Delphinium, right?

“…That’s not the case.”

Facing Lin Yun's question, Lin Xiaolu was visibly shaken, but she just shook her head to deny it, refusing to communicate: "I just want to change the environment."

"If it's for the school exam, I remember Delphinium said that she is responsible for tutoring you."

Lin Yun continued to slow down his tone to reduce the pressure created by his questions: "The same was true for the final exams last semester and this semester. For the sake of exams alone, it would be more convenient to stay in your team's base, right?"

Of course, there is a basis for his statement. You know, he has already prepared the review content and exercises for the final exam, and is just waiting to give Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang a intensive review after the New Year.

He also didn't think there was anything wrong with pointing out this fact. After all, these were things that had already happened objectively and there was no judgment involved.

But what he didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, Lin Xiaolu's expression suddenly changed and became obviously much more complicated.

Is there anything confusing about what I just said? I just mentioned the final exam. Do I really hate exams that much?

Lin Yun was confused again.

In fact, compared to the beginning of this semester, although Lin Xiaolu's grades have not improved much, they have not regressed much either. Although it is indeed difficult for her to focus on her studies as a magical girl, with Delphinium's help in tutoring, it is no problem for her to get a grade around the middle or lower levels.

The level of "lower middle" sounds bad, but compared with Lin Xiaolu's previous academic performance, it can be said to be a world of difference. At least the teachers in the school are very satisfied with this result, and sometimes even praise Lin Xiaolu.

"…It's convenient, but that's not what I'm thinking about."

On the other hand, Lin Xiaolu also responded to Lin Yun's doubts: "In short, I just moved back to live here for a while, don't think too much."

"Is it really not because of a conflict with others?" Lin Yun asked suspiciously.

"Really not!" Lin Xiaolu puffed up her cheeks.

"Then what's the reason? You have nothing to do anyway, why not tell me and let me help you analyze it."

Putting the chopsticks in his hand on the edge of the bowl, Lin Yun looked at his daughter calmly: "You don't have to worry about whether what I said is right or not. Even if it is wrong, what if it can inspire you?"

"I'm not idle. I'm going to do my homework after dinner. I don't have time to chat here or gossip about trivial matters."

"You really don't want to say it?"

"……In no mood."

"Even if I'm the only one who can hear you?" Lin Yun said calmly.

Just as the conflict between father and daughter could not be resolved by relying on Lin Yun's identity, only Cuiqiao could understand his daughter's feelings indirectly and prescribe the right medicine. Similarly, if Lin Xiaolu's current worries come from the magical girl team, perhaps only he, an insider, can act as a "counselor".

Obviously, this sentence hit the mark again, so Lin Xiaolu remained silent again.

She held the rice bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, and stood still for a long time with a rather funny look on her face. After a while, she also put down the bowl and chopsticks like Lin Yun did.

bump.

The porcelain bowl touched the wooden table, making a dull sound.

She picked up the tissue on the side of the dining table, carefully wiped the corners of her mouth, wiped her hands, then threw the tissue into the bowl, folded her arms, and leaned back in her chair.

With her head lowered, her lips were first pursed, then slightly opened and closed. The fingers that were grabbing her arms pulled up her sleeves, then gradually relaxed.

——"Can you promise not to tell Delphinium and the others?"

Finally, she raised her eyes and looked at Lin Yun with suspicion, but also mixed with a little expectation.

"If you ask me to, I can certainly keep it a secret for you." Lin Yun nodded expressionlessly.

After all, the moment I knew it, Delphinium already knew it, so there was no need for me to specifically convey the message.

As he thought so, he continued to look like an indifferent person and motioned Lin Xiaolu to continue.

So Lin Xiaolu took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and slowly told Lin Yun the reason why she suddenly decided to move back home.

His first impression was that Lin Xiaolu's ability to express herself needed to be improved.

She spoke very slowly and her order was a bit disordered. Her logic was even more confusing because of the large amount of personal emotions mixed in. Her personal feelings were mixed with the course of events, and many times her expressions were incomprehensible.

However, as his statement became longer and longer and the content became more and more, Lin Yun gradually understood the whole story.

Then, his expression also became complicated.

If at the beginning he still had the attitude of understanding the problem and helping to analyze the causes and solutions, then after listening to Lin Xiaolu's statement, this feeling was almost gone.

Instead, there was an intense feeling of embarrassment and confusion.

——"So, I think I can't go on like this. If I continue to rely on Delphinium subconsciously, it would be irresponsible. If I continue to expect so much without permission, it will only cause more pressure on her. Wouldn't I become an annoying clingy person? Rather than letting myself go to that point, I might as well move back now, calm down, and think about what I should do next..."

On the other side, Lin Xiaolu was still stating her thoughts as fast as a cannonball. Her speaking speed had changed from slow at the beginning to torrential speed, and she was pouring out her emotions like a real rainstorm.

After talking a lot like this, Lin Xiaolu finally stopped when she felt dry in the mouth. Then she looked at Lin Yun expectantly: "So? That's about it. What do you think I should do?"

Faced with this question, Lin Yun really couldn't answer it for a while.

Not to mention giving an answer, even asking him to quickly accept the information in Lin Xiaolu's words was a bit too much.

After all, let him summarize what Lin Xiaolu just said. The general meaning is as follows:

[I know that you and Delphinium are no longer in a relationship, but I personally want this stepmother unilaterally. If there is no ethical connection between the two of you, how can I recognize this stepmother, and how can I make sure that I am not being sentimental now? ]

To be honest, he felt that what his daughter said was not human.

But now that things have come to this, what should I do better?

Lin Yun's gaze moved slightly upwards and stared at the incandescent light on the ceiling of the restaurant.

Now, the number of people troubled by this problem has increased from one to two.

Chapter 218 On duty

The Yi Ce Bureau was much quieter on New Year's Eve than on ordinary days.

In response to the request of Lin Yun, the current director, a considerable number of employees will have to stay on duty this year, but Lin Yun is not the kind of leader who would not like to see his employees idle. After all, more people can take normal holidays and go home for the New Year.

Most of the employees who stayed on duty were combatants. Even if they were not high-ranking magicians, they all had certain abilities in using spells. A small number of civilian staff were added to ensure minimum operation, thus achieving the purpose of preventing dangers before they occur.

Of course, in order to serve and to compensate these hard-working employees to a certain extent, those who work one night on New Year's Eve can not only receive a week's salary, but also have a very sumptuous dinner in the cafeteria, which makes up for not being able to go home for meals.

As for whether this kind of compensation can really eliminate the employees' opinions and whether the employees will have doubts in their hearts, Lin Yun really can't take care of it.

After all, he is also having dinner at the Yi Ce Bureau now.

Lin Yun picked up the fish from the plate expressionlessly, took a bite, and then thought about his plans for tonight.

According to his idea, he should first inspect the Special Policy Bureau as the director to confirm that all departments are operating normally and all personnel are on duty, and at the same time indicate that he is on duty as well.

After that, he would have to temporarily leave the Strategy Bureau and return to the Magical Girls' Base in Fangting City as Delphinium to ensure that "Delphinium would attend the New Year's Eve party normally."

Then, he had to rush back without stopping and spend midnight in his office as Lin Yun. The reason was that Lin Xiaolu was still here, and he was destined not to be away for too long.

Yes, in the end he couldn't think of an excuse to reject Lin Xiaolu.

In other words, he was actually happy with Lin Xiaolu's proposal from the bottom of his heart, no matter what the reason behind it was.

After dinner, Lin Yun handed the plates and cutlery on the table to the cleaning window, then returned to the food pick-up area and received several stacked lunch boxes from the chef who greeted him with a smile. He put the lunch boxes into the bag that had been prepared, and left the cafeteria without stopping.

Along the way, employees passing by nodded and greeted him from time to time, and he responded one by one, including an employee he was quite familiar with - Tian Sheng.

Compared to when he first joined the company two months ago, Tian Sheng now has almost no trace of the immaturity of a newcomer. Not only that, perhaps because he has been participating in high-intensity battles, he now has a bit of bloodiness.

This is not a bad thing. Working in such a dangerous position, those who are adapted to combat can go further.

After exchanging a few brief words with Tian Sheng, which took about half a minute, Lin Yun said goodbye to him, walked quickly into the elevator of the office building, and pressed the button for the director's office floor.

A few minutes later, he finally pushed open the door of his office carrying a heavy packing bag.

In the room, a girl in a down jacket was sitting half-reclining on a chair, holding her mobile phone high in the air, tapping the screen with her thumb. Her cheeks were slightly puffed up, as if she was holding something in her mouth, so she made a few unclear mumbling sounds from time to time.

Even when she heard the sound of the door opening, she did not stop what she was doing. It was not until Lin Yun put the bag in his hand on the desk with a "dong" sound that she finally reluctantly looked away from the screen.

"Too slow." The first sentence he said was quite merciless.

Seeing her say that, Lin Yun unceremoniously put his hand on her head and patted it hard: "I'm already very quick, eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold later."

Just as Lin Yun had said to Lin Xiaolu at home before, in order to avoid appearing in the Strategy Bureau with his family as much as possible, he did not take Lin Xiaolu directly to the cafeteria, but chose to take the meal back to the director's office.

There are three reasons for doing this. In addition to taking precautionary measures to prevent the infiltration of undercover agents in the Bureau of Strategy, they also do not want the rumor that "the director is spending the New Year with his daughter in the Bureau of Strategy" to spread among the employees.

More importantly, quite a number of employees in the Strategy Bureau had seen Lin Yun’s “daughter” before that - a quiet girl with shoulder-length hair who looked like she was still in elementary school.

Yes, the news that Bai Jingxuan had nothing to do so she ran to the Yi Ce Bureau and called Lin Yun "Dad" without restraint eventually spread in a small circle.

Even if all employees who know about the rumor leak the information repeatedly and tell the other party "never spread it outside", the next employee will often pass the rumor he knows to the people he is most familiar with.

This actually violated the regulations that employees of the Strategy Bureau were not allowed to bring family members in, but in fact no one could stop Bai Jingxuan from breaking into the Strategy Bureau. Even Lin Yun, after Bai Jingxuan's birthday, could not do anything about it on the surface, and over time he just turned a blind eye.

This would lead to a very serious consequence. If Lin Yun took Lin Xiaolu in and out of the Strange Strategies Bureau, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see that the director's daughter was not the same person as his usual daughters, and some strange misunderstandings might arise.

In order to avoid this kind of headache-inducing situation, Lin Yun asked Lin Xiaolu to stay in the office. If she wanted to go out for a visit, she had to wait for someone he arranged to guide her.

Eventually, the current situation was formed.

After taking the lunch box that Lin Yun brought back, Lin Xiaolu turned off the screen of her mobile phone and put it aside, but just sat there without eating immediately.

"What's wrong? No appetite?" Lin Yun asked.

"No, I'm eating candy." Lin Xiaolu answered incoherently, and at the same time pushed the candy in her mouth against her cheek, probably wanting Lin Yun to see clearly.

"Where did you get the candy?" Lin Yun couldn't help but feel strange.

"I took it from the drawer."

Lin Xiaolu responded confidently: "I really like this brand of candy. One of my teammates often brings this to me."

"Bai Jingxuan?"

"Yeah, how do you know?"

"She got her candy from me."

"Oh, so I took it from you...what is it?"

Lin Xiaolu looked up in surprise: "Why did you take it from you?"

"Isn't it because I have a good daughter? I don't know who encouraged me to adopt her teammate. Have you forgotten it?"

Lin Yun said expressionlessly: "They found me right away."

There was no need for him to hide this matter. After all, it was Lin Xiaolu who had initiated it, and Bai Jingxuan had already let the cat out of the bag.
