After get off work, I become a magical girl

Lin Yun continued to explain: "Besides, you know, we have to go to see your mother in a week, and I have to prepare some gifts for her."

"Ha..." Lin Xiaolu let out a breath in a daze.

Releasing her hands that were covering the back of her head, she looked at Lin Yun in a daze, then lowered her head and repeated, "It turned out to be like this... I thought..."

For a moment she didn't even know why she was relieved.

His father was not out dating another woman, but simply to commemorate his mother.

Although it still doesn't mean that he has no relationship with the woman named Hong Siyu, nor does it mean that he doesn't know Cuique, but at least it shows that the crazy thoughts in her mind when she came...

Lin Xiaolu felt her cheeks burning.

Xia Liang at the side chuckled and gently touched her arm: "I told you, it may not be what you think, right? You don't believe it."

Lin Xiaolu glanced at her, knowing clearly that she had made a huge fool of herself, but she was not the type to keep silent and suffer a loss, so she subconsciously wanted to speak back.

But before she could say anything, she suddenly saw Lin Yun's sentimental expression, and her heart felt like a puddle of cold water was poured on it, and the words that were about to come to her lips were swallowed back.

“…I see. I was wrong.”

She honestly admitted her mistake and whispered, "If that's the case, I'll go home later."

"It's already like this, why are you talking about going home now?"

Lin Yun sighed, trying to put on a smile: "Since you're here, come and help me with some advice. Just think of it as choosing a gift for your mother together."

"I..." Lin Xiaolu looked at him hesitantly. After realizing that she had made a mistake, she didn't know what to say.

"Let's go." Lin Yun patted the railing and pointed at the bottom of the patio. "Or are you not going to visit the graves next week?"

"how is this possible?"

As soon as this topic came up, Lin Xiaolu became excited again and muttered softly: "I will go even if you don't go."

"What are you waiting for?"

Lin Yun took two steps towards the elevator and looked back at her: "Or do you want to continue standing here, commanding the platform as a marshal?"

"…Do you think I would?"

"Then let's go quickly." Lin Yun urged.

"Okay, got it."

"Is there anything you want to eat for lunch?"

"……ice cream."

On the other side, Xia Liang, who had been watching the whole process, saw the gradually harmonious atmosphere between the father and daughter, and smiled with some relief.

Maybe she felt a little envious, even jealous, but these feelings were secondary. More importantly, Lin Xiaolu was her friend, she was able to have a good relationship with her parents, and she could empathize with them and feel happy for them.

"Well, uncle, Xiaolu."

She waved to the two people with a smile on her face: "In that case, I will go back by myself first?"

"You..." Lin Xiaolu frowned and wanted to say something.

But she had just uttered a word when she was interrupted by Xia Liang: "Xiaolu, you should also study the gift carefully. Your mother will definitely be very happy."

She did not give Lin Xiaolu the chance to finish what she was saying, even though they both knew that this might be an attempt to keep her.

But in her opinion, this was a rare opportunity for the father and daughter to communicate properly, and there was no need for her to stand there like a light bulb, which would only make everyone feel uncomfortable.

So, after she said that, she turned around, quickened her pace, and walked towards the crowd as if she wanted to escape. But before she could get into the crowd, she was stopped by a voice from behind.

——"My classmates over there."

The man behind him said, "If you have nothing else to do, why don't you come with Xiaolu?"

"...No, thank you uncle, it's convenient for me to go back by myself." So she turned around and declined with a smile.

"Why are you being so polite? You are Xiaolu's classmate. Your name is Xia Liang, right?"

Lin Yun tried his best to make his expression and tone appear gentle: "Thank you for playing with her for so long, so I have to thank you too."

He actually didn't know what Xia Liang was thinking at this moment, but it didn't stop him from remembering what Xia Liang said to Cuique that night, "Don't be partial," when he rarely showed his vulnerable side.

Although he is not Delphinium now and the other party will not realize it, this is not an excuse for him to abandon this girl.

"Come along, I'll buy you lunch and then drive you home."

He looked at Xia Liang and said seriously.

Xia Liang looked at him and opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know how to continue to refuse.

"Stop nagging me."

Lin Xiaolu, who was standing by, also found an opportunity to finish her words. She crossed her arms, looked away and said, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to be like family to you? Now you're pretending instead?"

Xia Liang looked at Lin Yun, then at Lin Xiaolu, and found that they were both looking at him with some concern.

Reason told her that she was just an outsider here, and seeing other people's close family relationships was nothing but a torture to her inner self.

However, emotionally, she longed for this kind of relationship that she could not have.

Should I get close to them? She would ask herself, trying to stop herself.

At this moment, the concern and invitation from the father and daughter in front of her knocked a crack in this self-imposed barrier, which made her feel a warm current surge in her heart again.

Forget it, just be willful at this time.

She remembered someone's teachings, so she nodded and smiled a helpless but heartfelt smile:

"Then, I'm welcome."

Chapter 57 After Lunch

2023-04-30

Lin Yun would never have imagined that the wedding anniversary he had originally planned to spend alone with nostalgia and sadness would eventually turn into a noisy family trip with two children.

Listening to the clerk's endless explanation alone in front of the counter turned into a conversation between the three of us and the clerk, where we talked and laughed.

Although Lin Yun is not good at communication, he can convey his requirements accurately; Lin Xiaolu does not like to communicate with others, but her cute appearance and cheerful personality make people want to tease her; Xia Liang is the most talkative one and can always make the shop assistants happy, so that the two sides can quickly become friends.

The shopping process becomes easy and enjoyable.

During this period, some people misunderstood and actually thought that they were a family, and praised Lin Yun, "Your two daughters are very cute." In response, Lin Yun had to make some simple excuses. Xia Liang looked quite happy, but Lin Xiaolu had a stern face. It didn't seem like she was angry, and no one knew what her mood was.

They visited many stores and finally found a gift that met their requirements in a jewelry store called "Shi Kuiqi".

It was a crystal necklace, the body of which was made of silver, but the pendant was made of rose quartz, or pink quartz. This rose quartz was cut into a shape similar to cherry blossoms, and was surrounded by a circle of gold, which looked quite fresh and beautiful.

Lin Xiaolu liked the jewelry very much, but couldn't explain why; Xia Liang thought the style was a little old-fashioned, but didn't say anything considering the atmosphere. In the end, it was Lin Yun who made the final decision and bought the item.

There is no other reason, just for the cherry blossom on the pendant.

Such a crystal cherry blossom made him feel as if a voice in his heart was telling him when he saw the necklace: This is the one.

So, after deciding on the gifts, the three of them went shopping on other floors. Lin Yun suggested buying clothes for Lin Xiaolu, but was rejected by Lin Xiaolu. In the end, they followed Xia Liang's suggestion and the three of them went to the cinema together.

After watching a popcorn movie, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon when they walked out of the theater. The three of them chose a fashionable tea restaurant as the place for lunch.

Lin Yun pretended to be an ordinary parent, and Xia Liang pretended to be Lin Xiaolu's good student classmate. Both of them knew that the other was hiding something, but they each maintained their own persona and had a half-true and half-false conversation, which made Lin Xiaolu fall asleep.

Lunch was halfway through and it was almost two o'clock. Just when the three people in the restaurant were in a state of extreme relaxation, they suddenly heard a roar in the distance.

"Boom!"

The sound of heavy objects falling, as if a building had collapsed, overwhelmed the hustle and bustle in the entire shopping mall.

After the loud noise, people first fell silent, then became confused, and then panicked.

The customers in the restaurant were in a commotion. Some took out their cell phones to try to contact the outside world, while others walked out of the restaurant as soon as possible to observe the source of the sound.

Amid the commotion, only the table where the man and the two girls were sitting maintained a rare calm.

"Xiao Lu, Xiao Liang, we need to move out quickly!"

From a perspective that ordinary people cannot perceive, Mo Ke shouted in a serious tone: "I can feel that a beast has appeared nearby!"

What it thought was a covert call was actually heard clearly by the other three people present.

In fact, even if it didn't say it, the three of them had similar guesses about the cause of the roar - it should be a crippled beast.

But at this critical moment, none of them could express what was in their mind.

Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang still thought that Lin Yun was just an ordinary person, at least he didn't have any magic power; they guessed at most that he knew something about magic, and even knew that his daughter was a magical girl. However, the window paper between them had not been broken yet, and now that the magic side of things was suddenly brought to the table, it was still a bit uncomfortable.

The reason why Lin Yun remained silent was even simpler, because he was thinking: How much should a person like "Lin Yun" know about the magical girls?

Time is running out, and although it came a little strangely, the remnant beast has already appeared. The only three magical girls in Fangting City are all sitting around this dining table, which is definitely not acceptable.

Next, not only did the two newcomers in front of him need to fight, but he also had to find a reason to escape and transform into Delphinium to go to the scene, so as to cover them and prevent the attacking beasts from being too powerful.

So, how about bringing up this topic myself?

Looking at the two girls in front of him who were also hesitant to speak, he had to make a decision.

Ever since he discovered Lin Xiaolu following him in the morning, he had realized that at least some of the truth could no longer be hidden.

Since they already knew that he knew Hongsi and this matter, it would be hard for him to have any reason not to know about the magical girl.

However, should he admit here that he already knew the identities of his daughter and the other magical girls?

He thought about it and felt that there was actually a better way.

But first, he had to find a reason to explain why he knew it was an attack by brutal beasts.

He wordlessly took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, pretended to fiddle with it, clicked on the message interface, and after waiting for a moment, an evacuation notice from the Yi Ce Bureau was sent to his cell phone.

Because the beast attack happened in a crowded and busy area like a shopping mall, there were many witnesses, and the response of the Strategy Bureau was indeed fast enough. Just a few seconds after the loud noise, a notification was sent to the mobile phones of citizens across the city, reminding them to avoid this location when traveling, and to flee as soon as possible if they were here.

As a result, other customers in the restaurant finally realized what was happening, and many people stood up in panic and began to run out of the restaurant.

"There are actually crippled beasts? It's so dangerous!"

He frowned, handed the notification on his phone to the girls, and pretended to be nervous: "It looks like we can't stay here any longer, let's go now!"

In order to show that he was really nervous, he didn't give the two girls time to reply. He picked up his coat from his seat, stood up along the table, and waved, "Ask the clerk if there are any other exits in the store. The main entrance has been blocked!"

His acting skills were actually quite exaggerated, and if it weren't for the fact that the people around him were in a panic, it would have been easy to be exposed.
