After get off work, I become a magical girl

Just pretend you don’t know what to do and continue to hypnotize yourself and enjoy the present moment.

Lin Xiaolu gave up looking for answers.

However, a few days later, when Lin Xiaolu thought she had successfully forgotten it all, another incident pulled her out of her state of self-deception.

——She found that her father was actually taking care of his clothes and grooming.

It's not about dressing up meticulously like you would when going to work on weekdays; it's about dressing up from a real aesthetic point of view.

He found a casual shirt from his closet that he hadn't worn for a long time and paired it with a summer-style silk-wool-linen suit jacket. He used the bottles of men's skin care products that he hadn't touched for a long time to clean his face, and went to the barber shop to get a haircut, which made his whole mental outlook look a lot younger.

Lin Yun's appearance was not bad to begin with, and after taking some serious care of himself, his evenly-proportioned tall physique, coupled with a handsome face with a hint of age and maturity, made him look like a gentleman.

This kind of behavior is not a problem for ordinary people, but it is quite strange for Lin Yun, who has almost no leisure life, and it even makes Lin Xiaolu feel like a bolt from the blue.

"No, no... this is really abnormal."

The next morning, Lin Xiaolu lowered her head and covered her head with her hands, looking stunned and said, "This is definitely not something he would normally do."

"Haha, even if you say so..." Xia Liang on the side laughed dryly.

In the past two days, she was also troubled by Lin Xiaolu's frightening mental state. She was relieved to see that she was getting better, but she didn't expect that her condition would become even more abnormal today. She could only reluctantly comfort her: "Maybe your father just has an invitation for a special occasion next time?"

"Him? An invitation?"

Raising her head from her depression, Lin Xiaolu stared with bloodshot eyes: "What kind of occasion can make a man over 35 dress so coquettishly?"

"Well... maybe, attending someone else's wedding?" Xia Liang tried hard to play dumb.

"It's an affair, it's an affair!"

Patting the sofa next to her, Lin Xiaolu said loudly: "It means he is going on a date with a woman!"

"I think your father's situation is a bit of an affair..."

Xia Liang felt like his face was almost frozen from laughing: "And there's no evidence that he wants to find a stepmother for you, right?"

"If he wants to find it, then he can find it. I don't care about that."

Lin Xiaolu puffed up her lips and complained, "I just don't want him to date that woman named Hong Siyu. That guy doesn't look very serious at first glance."

Moreover, there is another possibility that she did not say.

What if, just in case, if, the person he’s dating is not Hong Siyu, but...what should he do?

When she thought of this possibility, the restless emotions that had been suppressed would continue to surge up, swallowing up Lin Xiaolu's remaining rationality.

"No! I have to find out what's going on!"

She suddenly pulled herself together and stood up: "Moko!"

"Huh?" Mo Ke, whose name was called by her, had no idea what was going on and answered in a daze.

"When the day comes that he really goes out privately, you come and help me!"

Lin Xiaolu clenched her fists and shouted loudly: "I'm going to follow them!"

Chapter 54 Tracking

2023-04-30

On Saturday, Lin Yun went out alone in casual clothes.

On days when he didn't need to commute, he chose to drive and went alone to the central business district of Luoming District.

He had mentioned indirectly to Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang what had happened in the elevator of the apartment building before, but he didn't know whether the two of them really didn't know or were pretending not to understand. In the end, they didn't react at all.

But that night, when he was explaining the academic knowledge to Lin Xiaolu in the identity of Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu's absent-minded expression made him unforgettable.

Thinking about it carefully, according to the promise he made on the day he sent Lin Xiaolu to school, he should have a good talk with his daughter. At least he should tell her about Anya's situation instead of letting her continue to be kept in the dark.

Thinking this in his mind, Lin Yun silently turned the steering wheel. After turning at an intersection and driving forward along the road for a distance, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.

Because he could feel the magical response from the heart flower he carried with him.

This is a sign that the spell he had set up has been triggered.

Previously, when she first met Moko, because its behavior was suspicious and its motives were a mystery, in order to monitor its movements, Delphinium had secretly set up a positioning technique on it.

Later, although Moko proved himself to be a fool with his actual actions, considering that he usually traveled with Lin Xiaolu, Cuiqiao did not remove the spell to ensure that his magic could lock on their positions at any time in case of an accident.

Gently touching the heart flower, azure magic gradually surged on Lin Yun's outstretched hand. The palm that originally belonged to an adult male became illusory, and in the shadow, a small hand stroked the cracked gem flower in the same posture.

A feeling suddenly arose in his mind - the spell he had set up was right behind him.

Why would Moko follow me?

He felt quite strange, but Lin Yun did not show it. Instead, he let go of the flower of his heart and let everything return to normal. He pretended that he hadn't noticed anything and continued driving forward.

Not long after, when the car encountered a red light at the intersection and was forced to stop, he found a pink head sticking out from the car window.

He didn't even need to look closely to know that the head must belong to Mo Ke, without even having to guess.

At this time, Moko was clinging to the car window with its claws, its cat eyes wide open, and its face pressed tightly against the window, looking quite funny.

It has a mobile phone hanging around its neck for some unknown reason, and the style seems to be similar to Xia Liang's. Fortunately, the fairy's cognitive impairment is an integrated effect, otherwise pedestrians on the road would be scared to death by the floating mobile phone in the air.

Lin Yun continued to pretend that he did not notice the other party, and glanced at Moko outside the car window. After carefully identifying it for a long time, he finally confirmed one thing: the cell phone around its neck should be Xia Liang's.

In other words, at least its current inexplicable behavior is inseparable from Xia Liang.

Considering what he saw in the elevator that day, which went directly to his floor, he couldn't help but speculate: Could it be that it was Xia Liang that day?

What on earth does she want to do?

Xia Liang's smiling face appeared in his mind, and Lin Yun couldn't guess what she was thinking for a moment, but what he had to do now was not something that needed to be concealed, so he didn't care about the other party's little tricks.

After all, he had said before that as adults, they should tolerate children's little willfulness.

In this way, Lin Yun continued to drive to his destination. What he didn't know was that two girls were following him in a taxi a few hundred meters behind him.

——"We have caught up with the target."

Staring at her phone screen, Lin Xiaolu frowned, "Mo Ke has checked through the car window, and it is indeed him."

"I say...is this really necessary?"

Xia Liang, who was not only pulled over but also had his phone forcibly taken away, felt helpless: "Even if your father really wants to date another woman, it is his freedom, right?"

“I didn’t say I would manage this.”

Lin Xiaolu muttered quietly: "Anyway, he was so intimate with other women at my mother's funeral. Now it's just a date, so what?"

"But you were saying before that his behavior was an affair..."

"Ah, it really is! I just said something that didn't belong to me. Don't nitpick at this time!"

Lin Xiaolu puffed up her lips and denied it flatly, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Anyway, what we are concerned about now is not the fact that he went out on a date, but who he is going to meet!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Looking at Lin Xiaolu's reaction, Xia Liang smiled teasingly, "In other words, if the target is someone you don't care about, then it doesn't matter if they succeed, right?"

"...It doesn't matter." Lin Xiaolu said stubbornly.

"What if it was really Hongsi and her sister who came to our house a few days ago?"

"I want to expose to Cuique her true intention of approaching us and let her know that woman... um, um?" Lin Xiaolu raised her head somewhat belatedly, "What did you say just now?"

"Hongsi and sister?"

"I don't care what you call that woman. I'm talking about the word in front of me!" Lin Xiaolu corrected.

"A few days ago?" Xia Liang blinked innocently.

"Don't try to fool me. You said 'our family', right?" Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes wide.

"Yeah, I said it."

"That is, I have corrected you many times and told you that it is my home. You are really pushing it too far!"

"Isn't it possible? I really hope we can be like a family."

Xia Liang teased softly, "In this case, I can call you sister, how about it, Sister Xiaolu?"

"Don't say such cheesy things."

Staring at her with some disdain, Lin Xiaolu sighed: "In short, my home is my home, and your home is your home. These concepts cannot be mixed together."

After that, she continued to stare at her mobile phone, closely monitoring the movements of Moko and her father.

There was silence in the car for a moment.

The driver sitting in the front could actually hear the conversation behind him, but this obvious family ethics issue was obviously not something he could interrupt. He tried to tell himself not to meddle in other people's family affairs, so he also remained silent.

"Xiaolu."

Xia Liang watched from beside Lin Xiaolu for a while, and then suddenly called her name: "Tell me, if the person your father is dating is really not that sister, but is just as you said,..."

"Will not."

Interrupting her directly, Lin Xiaolu stared at the phone without looking up, so Xia Liang couldn't see her expression clearly: "I must believe in Delphinium, it won't happen."

"You were still doubting it a few days ago?"

Lin Xiaolu didn't say anything.

Because she didn't know how to answer the question.

In fact, until she ran out of the house after Lin Yun, her mind was always lingering on the possibility that she least wanted. However, at this moment, she calmed down a little.

All of Delphinium's past words and deeds came to her mind, allowing her to gradually regain her confidence: the magical girl she admired was not the kind of person who would interfere in other people's families at will.

Even though, in her heart, she had a little desire: if she really wanted to have a stepmother, maybe...

Therefore, this stalking behavior is more about giving myself an explanation than catching someone in the act.

Looking at the red and blue dots on the phone representing the locations of both parties, Lin Xiaolu was speechless for a long time.

She knew that no matter what she was thinking, the real answer was right in front of her.
