"noticed?"

Hong Siyu raised an eyebrow, but then showed a somewhat embarrassed look: "It's just that you can't just say this casually. If Kuizi didn't agree, I shouldn't tell you privately."

"Can't you tell me?"

Xia Liang became even more curious: "Why must the young senior agree?"

"What? Young senior...hahahaha!"

Hearing Xia Liang's address, Hong Siyu laughed out loud on the spot: "This nickname is interesting. You actually call her Junior Senior?"

In response, Xia Liang just tilted his head in confusion, obviously not understanding what was so funny about her.

But she was sharp and immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. She moved forward and showed a pitiful expression: "Young senior is so gentle, he will definitely not blame you. Sister, just tell me."

"It's against the rules to be cute!"

It was a bit difficult to resist Xia Liang's attack, and she almost wanted to speak on the spot, but Hong Siyu still did not give in easily: "You can say it! But you have to admit that what I know is still somewhat useful, right? Cuique will not tell you this, because she is afraid that you are too ambitious."

The target of this sentence is obviously Lin Xiaolu, who is still thinking about the previous conversation in which she was insulted as "not as good as delphinium".

"Well……"

Her curiosity was aroused and she was called upon to ask questions. Lin Xiaolu had to put aside the worries in her heart and weigh new questions.

She actually wanted to be tough to the end, but Hongsi and what she wanted to say might have a lot to do with Delphinium, making it difficult for her to refuse.

"Okay, I'll just take what you said as helpful."

After a while, she could only puff her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "So I admit it, can you tell me now?"

"Hehe! That's right!"

Finally getting Lin Xiaolu's recognition, Hong Siyu raised the corners of his mouth contentedly and said, "Since you all asked for this, I will reluctantly give you some popular science."

"Let me ask you a question first. Have you ever paid attention to your code name?"

"Code name?" Lin Xiaolu didn't understand what she was up to, so she could only answer in confusion, "My code name is Bai Mei."

"The little sister here..." Hong Siyu nodded after hearing that, and looked at Xia Liang again.

"My name is Xia Liang."

"Okay, then Xia Liang, what's your code name?"

"My code name is Xiaojin, which should refer to Xiaojinhua, or Buddleja mitmenghua, right?" Xia Liang replied, tapping his chin.

"Then I can tell you now that my former code name was Chao Yan, and my code name is also as you know. Have you found the commonality?" Hong Siyu winked at them.

"All flowers?"

“They are all flowers.”

The two magical girls gave the same answer one after the other.

"Yes, that's right, the code names of magical girls are actually all named after flowers."

Hong Siyu raised her chin with pride, and concluded as if this conclusion came from her own: "The moment you become a magical girl, the code name will appear in your heart as the heart seed awakens, and it is also the proof of your power. You can imagine that your wish promotes the heart seed to become a flower."

"Just having said that, you should be able to guess that there are exceptions to everything."

"Although each magical girl has a code name corresponding to her flower name, in fact, there are also magical girls who do not use this as a code name."

"Why, don't their heart seeds have code names?" Lin Xiaolu asked suspiciously.

"No, that's not the reason."

Hong Siyu shook his head: "But if you want to explain it clearly, I have to tell another story here."

"Can't you just say it directly?" Lin Xiaolu was somewhat dissatisfied with her mysterious riddle-telling behavior.

"No, I have to tell the story first here!" Hong Siyu said toughly.

"Why do we need to insert a story into a place like this?"

"You will regret it if you don't listen!"

"Okay, forget it, Xiaolu, we've already come to this point."

Xia Liang was in the middle and acted as a peacemaker. He persuaded Lin Xiaolu, "It's almost lunch time anyway, so why not just listen?"

After these words, Lin Xiaolu was indeed calmed down.

"I see...then please keep your words short." Lin Xiaolu was actually a person who would rather be persuaded by soft words than by hard ones. After Xia Liang's kind persuasion, she reluctantly agreed.

"Good good."

Hong Siyu responded perfunctorily, then adjusted her state and voice, and continued in a voice that sounded like reciting a poem:

"The magic kingdom is called a kingdom because it is a country. Yes, it is what history books call a 'country'."

"Since it is a country, it will naturally have its leaders. In the magic kingdom, the one who rules over everything is Her Majesty the Queen in the Rose Palace."

"Her Majesty the Queen has a very exquisite and magnificent gemstone scepter. The top of the scepter is inlaid with five extremely luxurious gemstones, which are all her favorite jewels."

"Then one day, Her Majesty the Queen gave the gemstones on the scepter to the magical girls she admired and trusted the most, and at the same time gave them her own power and authority."

"The so-called power is actually the power of the five major houses. The five major houses and the gems are handed over to those magical girls. And authority means a more transcendent power in the country."

"At the same time, the code names of the magical girls who are given gems will no longer be the names of flowers, but the names of the gems given by Her Majesty the Queen."

"Because of this, these magical girls are also called 'Gem Scepters'. They are the pinnacle of power and authority of magical girls in the kingdom."

"The power of the Investigation Institute we are talking about belongs to a master with a gemstone scepter. It is a magical girl who corresponds to the golden emerald on the scepter. Her code name is Golden Green Cat's Eye."

"Using the Queen's jewel as a code name..."

Lin Xiaolu's eyes lit up when she heard this: "It sounds so gorgeous!"

Even Xia Liang nodded with anticipation on his face.

"Right?"

Hong Siyu shrugged and said with some nostalgia: "Every magical girl who just heard the story has this reaction, even I used to be no exception."

"Only your Delphinium senior had a frozen face when he heard this story. He didn't react at all."

After these words were spoken, Lin Xiaolu, who was originally very excited about "using gems as a number", immediately stopped, then stood up and pretended to be calm.

"So, that 'Golden Green Cat's Eye' is the one in charge of the Investigation Institute, and the immediate superior of your Strategy Bureau?" On the other side, after understanding Hong Si and his expression, Xia Liang asked again.

"You kid! Why do you always ask questions like this?"

Hong Siyu couldn't help but sigh: "But if I have to say it, it is true that Lord Golden Green Cat Eyes should be considered our immediate superior."

"What about the Demonic Affairs Institute?" Xia Liang continued to ask.

"The Demonic Court... the power has not been decentralized. It is still in the hands of the Queen, that is, the Royal Court."

Hong Si and Mo wiped their chins, and their thoughts were inspired: "Come to think of it, the Queen can also be considered our direct superior?"

"Ah, you're starting to flatter yourself." Lin Xiaolu said quietly, still trying to be cool.

"You too! Didn't I tell you not to say things like this that would make you unlovable?" Hong Si was slightly annoyed by being repeatedly poked in the sore spots.

After bringing up the topic of the gemstone scepter, they chatted for a while about the current situation of the magic kingdom. When it was exactly 12 noon, Hong Siyu stood up and stretched.

"Um - what are you guys planning on having for lunch? Takeout?"

"There are leftovers in the refrigerator from yesterday's cooking by the hourly worker." Xia Liang answered honestly, leaning on the sofa.

"Leftovers?"

Hong Siyu waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary! Since I'm here, let me show you my skills! What other food is in the refrigerator?"

"Well...if you want to eat fresh meals, I actually know a little bit about cooking."

Xia Liang straightened up with some vigilance, and suggested with a smile: "It can't be called delicious, but it should be edible."

"It's too unreasonable to let a child cook for you. I'm going to let you see the results of a single young woman's cooking skills!" Hong Siyu made a bold statement.

"You're already a middle-aged woman, right?" Lin Xiaolu said mercilessly.

"You kid, if you keep saying things like that, I'm going to cry!"

"I get it, let's talk properly and don't come close to me!"

There was another round of chaos, and finally Hong Siyu put on an apron, walked into the kitchen, and took out various vegetables and frozen meat from the refrigerator.

Behind her, Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu watched her busying around. Although her techniques seemed very skilled, they always felt a little uneasy in their hearts.

"It should be okay, right?" Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but say to herself.

"Ahahaha, she said so herself, so we should just believe her, right?"

Xia Liang smiled at her comfortingly, and after saying this, she looked towards the kitchen. Her smile gradually froze as she watched Hong Si and her men mixing the seasonings in a way that was getting more and more wrong:

"Maybe?"

I would like to recommend a book by my friend, "My Practice in the Dragon World".

It's a new book. It was published later than mine, but the number of words has almost surpassed mine. I don't know much about dragons, so if I were to talk about it, it might be so vague that people would laugh. But this book has performed very well, so the quality should be guaranteed. Interested readers can take a look.

Chapter 52 Elevator Door

2023-04-30

At night, Lin Yun walked out of the company building with a depressed look, looked at the busy streets, turned around, and set out on the journey home as usual.

He walked through the sparsely populated residential streets, wandered in the commercial district near the light rail tram station, avoided the hands extended by hot girls in the crowd, and stopped in front of a shopping mall.

The vast, brightly lit buildings made him feel as if he were in another world.

The conversation with Hong Siyu in the morning seemed to still echo in his ears, and he had made a preliminary decision on whether to resign and return to the path of being a magical girl:

——After finishing the mid-month summary meeting and handling a few tasks at hand, he can apply for resignation.

Before leaving, he went to the general manager's office, mentioned his resignation, and negotiated with whom to hand over his tasks before leaving the company.

After getting off work, the reason why he didn't go to the station immediately but took a detour to the commercial district was actually because some days were about to come.
