After get off work, I become a magical girl

"Bai Mei and I knew each other earlier, so we are indeed more familiar with each other."

"I don't think that's the reason. The degree to which you and Xiaolu care about each other is definitely not that simple."

It was a rare expression of dissatisfaction: Xia Liang frowned: "Xiaolu said that you saved her, so she admires you very much. What about you, little senior? You said that you are an adult, a mature magical girl. Speaking of which, Xiaolu also said before that her father seemed to be planning to remarry..."

At this point, Xia Liang seemed to realize something and covered his mouth in horror.

But it was obviously too late to do this now, as Delphinium had already taken two steps at a time and moved in front of her, giving her a hard hit on the head.

"It hurts!" Xia Liang screamed.

"Random slander does not fall into the category of 'willfulness'. There is a price to pay for making irresponsible remarks."

Delphinium sat back on the sofa, folding her arms: "This is just a warning. I didn't use much strength. I may not do it again next time."

"I won't dare to do it next time." Xia Liang covered his forehead.

"Anyway, I admit that the problem you mentioned exists, so what do you want?"

Bringing the topic back to the original track, Kuiqi continued, "To learn to be willful, you must first face your true thoughts. You think I am biased, so how do you want me to change?"

"let me see……"

Xia Liang thought for a moment and answered, "If you have any questions during class, ask me too? Don't just ask Xiaolu?"

"I'll pay attention." Delphinium nodded.

"And don't always notify me last if you find any residual animals!"

"……Feel sorry."

"During the study session just now, there are actually still many things I don't understand!"

"I will teach you."

"Praise me more when I do well in my magic training, because I actually tried very hard!"

"And there's more..."

As if he had opened a box of conversation, after coming up with the first one, Xia Liang immediately put forward a series of requests that sounded quite troublesome.

Some of these requests were indeed areas that Cuiqiao had not fulfilled normally, while others were simply trivial matters. If she had not said them out loud at this time, Cuiqiao would not have noticed her thoughts at all.

Although Xia Liang usually seems to say whatever he wants, it is obvious that this "saying whatever he wants" is also the result of inner consideration.

The one who is now talking about small issues one by one is the one who has truly opened her heart.

Xia Liang summarized in this way, and Cuique made her own comments from time to time, until she had finished saying every item she could think of.

"And the most important one!"

Xia Liang raised his head, the smile on his face was more genuine than ever before: "I want to have a better and closer relationship with Xiaolu and the young senior!"

"close?"

This request made Delphinium a little puzzled, and then she explained: "Magical girl companions are originally very close comrades-in-arms. When you have more experience fighting side by side in the future, and even become as strong as me, our relationship is bound to be very close."

"No, not that kind of intimate!"

Xia Liang gestured with his hands: "Obviously, magical girl companions are very important relationships, they should be better than ordinary friends, right? I want the kind that is more friendly and warms my heart..."

It can better make up for the lack of "love" due to a broken family.

Understanding what she wanted to express, Delphinium added a sentence in her mind.

Lacking love and yearning for love, Xia Liang has been pursuing connections with others, but now she still cannot feel "love". Therefore, she still feels lonely.

What she wanted to get from Cuiqiao and Lin Xiaolu was not only the friendship between comrades-in-arms and the friendship between teachers and students, but also the love that could replace what was missing in the family - family love.

Perhaps, this was her clearest expression in her ignorance: she seemed to hope that this team of magical girls could become her next "home".

They have only known each other for a month, but he has already made such an excessive request. It can be said that he is extremely "willful".

"So, how exactly should the intimacy you mentioned be manifested?"

Delphinium leaned on the sofa and listened to Xia Liang's words.

But it was precisely because of Xia Liang's paranoid idea that she felt that the girl in front of her was a real child with many immature ideas in her heart.

After hearing Delphinium's question, Xia Liang paused for a moment, then clasped his hands together and showed a sweet and well-behaved smile.

"I've already said this before, young senior."

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Delphinium pleadingly:

"Shall we sleep together tonight?"

Chapter 44 Sleeping Together

2023-04-30

In the steaming water vapor, a hand groped in the white mist, grabbed the shower faucet, and turned off the hot water.

Delphinium walked out of the shower, wiped the water off her body, untied her hair, and looked at the mirror in the bathroom.

In the mirror, a girl with long azure blue hair looked at her expressionlessly, her well-proportioned and slender body looking as fragile as a doll.

This seemed to be the first time she would take a bath with this body since her comeback, Delphinium thought.

When she was young and just became a magical girl, she would occasionally need to clean this body, but she would always close her eyes, blushing and washing as quickly as possible. Even when looking at the opposite sex in the mirror, she would feel quite nervous because of the restless hormones, and she would not dare to look at it for too long.

It has been a long time. Now, after being married for many years, when I look at this childlike body, I no longer have any distracting thoughts in my mind.

It's better to say that things change with time. In her eyes now, the magical girl's transformed state is no different from a weapon. This body is both a weapon and a protective gear. To her, it is like a soldier's armor, except that it looks weak and gorgeous on the outside.

However, the power of magic is enough to make time stop for the magical girl. Occasionally, when she looks in the mirror at her appearance that has not changed in more than a decade, she will have a sense of time dislocation, as if she is still in the past.

Unwilling to dwell on this emotion, Delphinium closed her eyes, averted her gaze from herself in the mirror, and stopped thinking about it.

After putting on the clothes Xia Liang prepared for her and rolling up her long sleeves and trouser legs, she walked out of the bathroom and saw Xia Liang rummaging through the closet for a pillow.

"Let me help." She suggested, and the two of them started working together.

There was only a small single bed in Xia Liang's room, so for the sake of sleep quality, she decided to use her parents' master bedroom.

In her words, "It's empty anyway, so it's a good thing to use it to entertain guests."

It took about ten minutes to tidy up the bed and put the extra things into the cupboard. Looking at the bed in front of her, Delphinium had a complicated expression.

Although she looked like a little girl, she was essentially an adult man. She was going to lie on the same bed with a girl who was about the same age as her daughter and whom she had only known for a month. The moral pressure made her feel heavy.

During this time, Xia Liang had returned to his room in slippers, holding the pillow on his bed. He was standing by the bed, looking at Cuique with anticipation.

The matter is at a critical juncture and only needs the final push. Refusing further will only hurt the child.

With all sorts of thoughts in her mind, she couldn't say a single harsh word in the end. She could only sigh and say, "Then turn off the lights and go to bed."

"Ok!"

Xia Liang, who had been waiting for a long time, responded happily.

After closing the door of the master bedroom and turning off the ceiling light, Cuique and Xia Liang got into the quilt and lay down on the bed.

Because she had a lot of concerns in her mind, Cuiqiao deliberately kept a distance from Xia Liang to ensure that physical contact would not easily occur between the two.

It's not that she has any idea about Xia Liang. In fact, facing such a child, she can't mobilize the thinking of a man to look at the opposite sex. She just feels that she should have the responsibility of an adult and maintain basic etiquette.

It’s a pity that although she thought so, Xia Liang didn’t think so.

After lying on her side with her back to Xia Liang for a while, Cuique hadn't even warmed up the pillow under her head when she felt a pair of hands reaching out from behind and then hugging her.

"Ah, it's really soft and fragrant when I hug you. It feels better than hugging a pillow..." Xia Liang's voice came from behind her.

Kuei-ching was held in her arms, her face was a little stiff, she pushed twice with her hands but to no avail, she could only ask helplessly: "Can you let go?"

"No." Xia Liang's answer was also very straightforward.

"Don't you feel crowded sleeping like this?"

"This is a rare opportunity for me to hold my little senior while he sleeps. I will hold him until my arms are sore."

“…You are being too willful.”

"After all, it was you, the young senior, who asked me to do this. I am such a willful child tonight." Xia Liang replied in her ear.

After hearing this answer, she knew there was no room for negotiation. She could only close her eyes and sigh, "I regret it now. I feel like I'm really in trouble."

"Hehe, young senior seems to be very similar to Xiaolu in this respect." Xia Liang behind him didn't care and instead laughed softly.

"Where?" Delphinium simply asked back.

"Hard on the outside, but soft on the inside." Xia Liang commented, "What he said was very unpleasant to hear, but his actions were often the opposite."

"I'm going to get out of bed."

"No." Saying this, Xia Liang held Cuique's hand a little tighter.

Unable to help but sigh again, Kuei-Chrysanthemum obediently let Xia Liang hold her for a while. When she found that the girl behind her still didn't seem to be asleep, she asked again:

"What we talked about tonight, about your parents...do we need to tell Bai Mei?"

"Need not."

"why?"

"If I just say this, given Xiaolu's personality, she might start to sympathize with me."

Xia Liang whispered, "I don't want our relationship to become strange because of 'sympathy'. I want to build a good relationship with Xiaolu and become real friends. If the element of 'sympathy' is mixed into this relationship, I will feel very unhappy."

"It's okay if I tell you?"

"Hey, after all, the young senior is a mature adult, right?"

Having said that, Xia Liang paused for a moment, and as if to confirm, asked Cuique: "Is it okay to think this way?"

"As long as you like it, it's your own family affair. It's your freedom whether you want to talk about it or not." Cuiqiao closed her eyes and her tone gradually softened.

Just as she said this, she suddenly felt her shoulders getting wet.

She was silent, and tilted her head slightly to see Xia Liang burying her face behind her shoulder. In the darkness, her bangs covered her face, so that she couldn't see her expression at all.

But Delphinium could probably guess that she was crying.

Why she was crying at this time was something Cuique couldn't understand. She could only feel that Xia Liang didn't want her to expose his feelings, so she closed her eyes again, pretending that she knew nothing, and let Xia Liang hold her.
