After get off work, I become a magical girl

2023-04-30

Lin Yun stopped at the counter of the jewelry store.

The salesperson was enthusiastically trying to sell him the store's merchandise, asking him questions from time to time and trying to confirm his choice, but Lin Yun turned a deaf ear to her.

Because his attention was all on Moko standing beside him.

At this time, Mo Ke was sitting on the counter in front of him, excited about the jewellery. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Lin Yun, and then continued to immerse himself in his own world.

I think in its perception, ordinary people around it, including Lin Yun, cannot see itself.

It was not surprising that it had such thoughts. After all, Lin Xiaolu and Mo Ke had no doubts about Lin Yun's identity as an ordinary person. Mo Ke often walked around in front of him. He also fully demonstrated the determination of an adult, and remained indifferent no matter what Mo Ke did.

The result is that even though Mo Ke is following now, he dares not hide himself at all.

And if Lin Yun remembered correctly, more than half a month ago, when he told it how to supervise two newcomers in their magic training, it looked confident and motivated, but unexpectedly it turned around and became corrupt.

Well, I shouldn't count on it.

Sighing in his heart, Lin Yun wanted to continue ignoring its existence, but now Moko was lying right below his field of vision, completely blocking the product that the salesperson was introducing, and Lin Yun's attention was unconsciously drawn to it.

How to do?

He had to start thinking about this problem.

After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, he felt that it was not a good idea to continue to indulge Mo Ke like this, and he had to scare it a little so that it would not be so arrogant. So he stretched out his finger and poked in the direction of Mo Ke.

"Meow!"

Frightened by Lin Yun's sudden action, Mo Ke screamed and rolled to the side, looking at Lin Yun with a nervous and somewhat doubtful face.

"Can you show me this one?"

Lin Yun ignored it completely and pointed to a crystal pendant in the container: "It's not very clear through the glass."

When he stretched out his hand, he didn't know which product he was pointing at. He just wanted to cheat Mo Ke, so he actually had no interest in the pendant. But he had already made the move, so it was better to play the whole trick.

This set of words and actions was quite natural, and there was no flaw in analyzing the motive alone, as if he just wanted to take a look at the jewelry. So Mo Ke, who was far away, breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally nervous mood suddenly relaxed.

It began to believe again that it would not be discovered.

It moved its body and returned to Lin Yun's field of vision. It sat down in another place and wanted to continue its "tracking" at a close distance.

"Oh, sorry—"

Lin Yun reached out again towards the direction where it was: "Let me see this one too, thank you."

"Wow!"

This time he didn't intend to poke Mo Ke directly, so he just made a simple gesture. However, with the previous experience, Mo Ke's heart tightened again and he jumped up as if it was a conditioned reflex.

It was not until it realized that Lin Yun’s hand was not really extended to it that it realized it was just a false alarm.

But Lin Yun had no intention of letting it go.

After that, he interacted with Moko several times half-truthfully, using various fake moves to disrupt the pattern, so that Moko could not figure out his true or false behavior. On the one hand, it still felt that Lin Yun seemed to be unable to see it, but on the other hand, it was often startled by Lin Yun's abrupt movements, and finally began to doubt its luck, and finally learned its lesson and stayed at a distance instead of coming closer.

This distance was just right, so Lin Yun decided not to bother it anymore.

The man and the fairy walked around the mall in such a strange relationship until one moment, Moko picked up the phone on his neck out of boredom. After talking to Lin Yun in a serious manner and answering the call, it seemed to have received some new instructions, looked at Lin Yun again, and then flapped its wings and turned away.

Lin Yun quickly realized that the opportunity had come.

He didn't know whose idea it was that Mo Ke followed him this time, but that didn't stop him from following Mo Ke in reverse to see what the other party was planning.

So he took a quick look at the merchandise in front of him, said goodbye to the salesperson in front of him politely and naturally, and walked in the direction Mo Ke had left.

The shopping mall was very popular on Saturday, with dense crowds of people. Even in the luxury goods area, there were a large number of customers wandering around, so Lin Yun did not need to deliberately hide his whereabouts. He just needed to stay a little further behind Mo Ke and slightly cover his body when its eyes swept over.

He followed Moko into the elevator and arrived on the third floor. Then he saw Moko fly to the patio in the center of the building and meet two girls who were waiting there.

There is no doubt that those were the two people Lin Yun had expected.

He could recognize at a glance that the girl with a simple ponytail and a three-piece suit of short-sleeved shirt, shorts and sandals was Lin Xiaolu; the other girl with her hair naturally draped over her shoulders, a T-shirt and denim shorts with suspenders was Xia Liang. Both girls were lying on the guardrail of the patio, seemingly looking down at something.

Seeing Moko flying over, Lin Xiaolu quickly started arguing with it, as if there was a disagreement during the previous phone call:

——"What? You said you're always worried about being bumped into when you're too close? Then just stay a little further away."

"It's possible to lose him if he's too far away? How can I lose such a big living person?"

"How can I follow him? It's safest to watch from the patio. What if I go down and follow him in person and he finds me?"

The faint sound of conversation was right in front of Lin Yun, and because Lin Xiaolu did not deliberately lower the volume, the content was clearly audible.

He looked down from the side of the patio with some surprise and found that he could just glance over the luxury goods area from this angle. He immediately understood what the two girls were doing here.

"Xiaolu."

At this moment, Xia Liang on the side spoke with some concern: "Did you see your father over there?"

"Do I need to look? He has been walking around those places for more than an hour, and there is still only one person."

Lin Xiaolu stretched out her voice, leaned on the railing with both hands, raised her head and said: "I even wonder if he was stood up by someone?"

"But I can't seem to see where he is from here." Xia Liang smiled awkwardly, "Can you find him?"

"what?"

Reminded by Xia Liang's words, Lin Xiaolu looked down in a hurry, but she couldn't see her father's figure after looking left and right. She was dumbfounded: "No way, did he really lose him?"

"How could I lose a living person?" Less than two minutes after she said this, her words were swiftly proven true, leaving her panicked and embarrassed, with her ears burning.

She hurriedly opened her cell phone and tried to locate it again, but then she remembered that Mo Ke, who was acting as a locator, had flown back, and she could no longer lock on Lin Yun's position.

So Lin Xiaolu could only stand there holding her phone.

The two girls were at a loss beside the patio, and the culprit, Mo Ke, looked completely out of touch with the situation, making the scene quite awkward.

Not far away, Lin Yun sighed.

Now that things have come to this, he can only go and ask what's going on.

So he stepped forward, slowly walked behind Lin Xiaolu, and then gently patted her shoulder:

"What are you doing?"

"Ahhh!" Lin Xiaolu was so scared that she almost jumped up.

Turning around with a scream, Lin Xiaolu first stepped back and hit the railing behind her. Then she accidentally slipped and hit her head on the glass panel next to the railing.

"what!"

She felt pain at the back of her head and couldn't help but scream out in pain, then she fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Lin Yun was quick-witted. He bent down and reached out before she really fell, grabbed Lin Xiaolu's arm in time, and lifted her up on the spot.

"Are you okay?"

Seeing Lin Xiaolu grimacing in pain, he subconsciously reached out and rubbed the back of her head. Seeing that there seemed to be no wound, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Lulu, you, walk carefully."

——"I was scared by you!"

Lin Xiaolu stood up straight, took his hand away from behind his head, and said angrily: "Don't talk behind others' backs all of a sudden!"

"I saw you two were sneaking around here, so of course I had to come and ask."

Lin Yun raised his eyebrows and said, "You've been lying on the third floor watching for so long, do you really think I didn't notice it?"

In fact, he really didn't notice it. It was hard for ordinary people to imagine that someone would be watching him on the high floor of a shopping mall like this. But now that he could find their whereabouts, there must be another reason.

Such a reason would be somewhat far-fetched in normal times, but fortunately, the two girls had followed him first and felt they were in the wrong, so they did not doubt the excuse he gave.

"I'm sorry uncle, I was wrong."

Xia Liang reacted the fastest, and immediately acted like a good kid, saying innocently, "I didn't mean it, I was just a little curious."

"Who is sneaking around? I'm standing here openly!"

Lin Xiaolu's attitude was not so friendly. She had just hit her head, so she put one hand on the back of her head and said angrily, "Can't I see what you are doing?"

"Then why are you here?" Lin Yun stared into her eyes.

Lin Xiaolu could only look away in silence.

She didn't respond, but as always, she was not good at hiding her emotions, and her guilty expression was fully revealed, so Lin Yun understood and asked again: "Did you follow me?"

"I'm just a little curious." Lin Xiaolu muttered.

"Are you curious too?"

Lin Yun suddenly found it a little funny: "You two are making such a fuss and watching here for so long, just because of this?"

"Is it not possible? You are not, why do you want to go out alone on your day off dressed like this?"

Lin Xiaolu, who was exposed, just gave up and admitted in a self-destructive manner: "You made it so formal, I thought you were planning to..."

Only then did Lin Yun understand why she was here.

He glanced at Xia Liang, who smiled a little awkwardly and lowered his head with some apology. It was obvious that he knew that following others was not a good thing to do.

That’s right, why bother with a child?

He sneered in his heart, and simply wiped out the little bit of dissatisfaction that was left, and looked at Lin Xiaolu to confirm:

"Do you think I'm going to find you a stepmother?"

"What else?" Lin Xiaolu looked up at him, a little puzzled.

"How is that possible? Even if I want to find one, I must ask for your opinion first."

Lin Yun shook his head and sighed, "You, you probably can't remember it. Today is clearly your mother and my wedding anniversary."

Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"Wedding anniversary?"

She muttered the words and stuttered for a moment: "Huh? But, but, clearly there was no such thing last year and the year before..."

"Because this year is the fifteenth anniversary. The last time your mother and I commemorated this day was the tenth anniversary, when you were only nine years old."
