After get off work, I become a magical girl

She was trying to tell herself that she had no reason to be serious with a child who was three years younger than her; what's more, the other party had always treated her with a smile and respect. Wouldn't it be too petty to be jealous of him now?

Besides, it is necessary for Delphinium to spend more time with the child. Teaching and training a magical girl is no joke. It is precisely because the other party is making slow progress and has many problems that Delphinium needs to pay more attention to her. Doesn't this mean that Delphinium is more satisfied with herself?

Just like Xia Liang, she is the one that Cuiqiao has least to worry about among the few people, so she receives the least attention. Isn't this natural?

But even though she thought so, she still subconsciously puffed up her cheeks.

Because one can think about it, but one can't help it.

Just like that, she was watching TV absentmindedly. After a while, the movement in the study room suddenly caught Lin Xiaolu's attention. She startled and raised her head slightly.

Refocusing her eyes, she looked towards the door of the study, and saw Cuiqiao leading Bai Jingxuan out of the door with an expressionless face. Bai Jingxuan followed behind him, as if she had done something wrong, following him step by step like a dejected little animal.

Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but feel a little ugly joy in her heart, but this joy didn't last for a few seconds before it completely disappeared with Delphinium's behavior.

"I'll take Bo Xue back to where she lives. You guys continue to rest. After dinner, go to Xia Liang's house and wait for me."

Stopping at the door, Delphinium said to the two girls in the living room, "Remember to give your eyes a rest after watching TV for an hour, and don't keep tilting your head to watch. These behaviors are bad for your eyesight."

After saying this, she walked out of Lin Xiaolu's house and closed the door of the entrance.

"Click."

Following this short and crisp sound, Lin Xiaolu also stood still.

Chapter 96 Lin Xiaolu's sense of crisis

2023-04-30

Lin Xiaolu's somewhat strange reaction caught Xia Liang's attention.

Seeing that he had been staring at the entrance after the Jade Bird had left, she reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Any questions?"

"Status..." Lin Xiaolu said in a low voice.

"status?"

"My position has been threatened like never before!"

Suddenly turning around and grabbing Xia Liang's shoulders, Lin Xiaolu's eyes were as chaotic as a whirlpool: "This absolutely cannot go on, we can't let their relationship heat up!"

"what……"

This kind of startled reaction is Lin Xiaolu's personal style. After seeing this several times, Xia Liang has some experience in how to deal with Lin Xiaolu in this state. In response, she just sighed in a long voice, and then asked with a tight smile: "Why?"

"Can't you feel it? If you keep going on like this, that kid will monopolize Delphinium's attention!"

Unable to detect the perfunctory tone in Xia Liang's words, Lin Xiaolu was obviously greatly stimulated. She grabbed her hands and said without thinking, "Just like now, sending her home alone every day, having such a long time to be alone with Cuique is really too enviable... too partial to one!"

"That child lost both his parents and is disabled. He calls me 'teacher, teacher' every day so sweetly. He is 'well behaved', 'pitiable', and 'lovable'. If I were in Delphinium's position, I would subconsciously choose to take extra care of him."

"And once this pattern continues, as they spend every day alone together, their relationship will definitely get better and better; Delphinium will devote more and more attention to the child, until one day she will completely surpass us!"

"If it really comes to that, there will only be two names left in the team of four! Both of us will become background boards and bystanders!"

As she spoke, Lin Xiaolu could even imagine such a day.

In a trance, she had already seen that at that time, Bai Jingxuan, who had completely won the love of Delphinium, stood with her and asked pitifully:

"Teacher, everyone in the team is new, but why are you treating me like this? Is that really okay?"

"Ah, it doesn't matter, because you are the best one in my heart, and the other two are just bad girls who failed the school exams."

"But, Senior Xiaojin is better than me, right?"

"She is too good and has already made great progress without my guidance."

"Isn't Senior Bai Mei the person you were expecting from the beginning?"

"You can't even master the deflection magic that you finally awakened. Such a useless child doesn't deserve my love."

"teacher……"

"Xiao Xuan..."

——“Aaaaaaah!”

Holding her head, Lin Xiaolu was shocked by the scene she imagined. She fell on the sofa and cried out miserably: "No! I don't want to see that day. I don't want to!"

This performance, which was like a stand-up comedy, almost made Xia Liang dumbfounded as he watched from the sidelines.

Seeing that Lin Xiaolu was getting louder and louder, she couldn't help but think, "Why don't we just ignore her?"

"Ahahaha... How should I put it? I don't think you, young senior, would be like that."

After a long pause, Xia Liang finally found a gap to interject, and said with a dry laugh: "You don't need to think so pessimistically and complicatedly. Just like me, isn't it better to look at everything with a normal mind?"

Her original intention was to hope that Lin Xiaolu would not think of things so extremely and exaggeratedly, but after she said this, she found that the other party became surprisingly calm.

He stopped talking and stared at Xia Liang's face for a while before slowly looking away:

"Forget it. You won't understand if I tell you these things when you've been unpopular from the beginning."

There was suddenly deathly silence in the living room.

Lin Xiaolu was unaware of the destructive power of these words, but as the words fell, the atmosphere became solemn for a moment, and then she felt a pair of hands holding her face.

Then Xia Liang had a stiff smile on his face. He had placed his hands on both sides of Lin Xiaolu's cheeks without knowing when. Then he used his fingers to grab her face hard.

Lin Xiaolu struggled and said, "Ni Zhai Guan Shun Mo (What are you doing)!"

"What am I doing? How dare you say that! How dare you say that!"

Xia Liang pinched Lin Xiaolu's face viciously. Although he had a smile on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Is it this arrogant mouth that said this? There should be a limit to talking to yourself!"

"You are so arrogant because your senior treats you differently! What do you mean by 'unfavored from the beginning'? What a 'unfavored from the beginning'! I am so angry. Do you think I don't want a little more care?"

"Throughout the summer vacation, you and Xiaoxuan have received individual instruction from our junior seniors, but I was left alone because I progressed too fast! Do you think this is what I want?"

Lin Xiaolu tried to slap Xia Liang's hand away: "I'm telling the truth!"

"I know! But it hurts just because it's the truth!"

"La Ni La Wo Sha Xi Gan She Wo (Then why are you taking it out on me)!" Unable to escape Xia Liang's face-pinching attack, Lin Xiaolu simply turned from defense to offense and stretched out her hand to pinch Xia Liang's face.

"Who do you think made me so angry?"

The two of them quarreled and fought for a long time until they felt hungry and finally changed the subject.

As Cuiqiao had instructed before, they had to have dinner before going to Xialiang's house for the evening study session.

They simply reheated the food cooked by the part-time worker and cooked the white rice, then served it all into the dining room. The two girls sat on both sides of the dining table and picked up their chopsticks.

——"What the hell is going on between you two?"

Yawning, Mo Ke, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, looked at the two of them in confusion: "Why does your face look a little red and swollen? Have you gained weight?"

"You don't need to worry about it!"

"This has nothing to do with Moko."

The two people answered in unison. Although the wording and emotional inclination of their words were different, the meanings were similar when examined in detail.

Mo Ke felt even more confused because he didn't make them angry but ended up being ignored.

"In any case, this is not an option now."

With a red and swollen face, Lin Xiaolu held the rice bowl and said, "Even if we discuss this matter without any selfish motives, I feel that the current situation is too inefficient. You, me, Kusanagi, and that child. The four of us live in four places. We have to gather first for every activity, and then change places in the middle. And there is such a small child who needs to be picked up and dropped off. Don't you think it's troublesome?"

"It can't be helped, right?"

Xia Liang took a sip of the vegetables and chewed them carefully. "To be honest, the young senior should be the one who feels the most trouble. She didn't even complain about anything. Are you really that cruel to let such a young child fly back alone after the event? Or are you going to volunteer to pick her up?"

"So, that's what I said!"

Tapping the bowl with chopsticks, Lin Xiaolu said loudly, "Even for the sake of Delphinium, it's time to think of a win-win solution!"

"What plan?" Xia Liang stopped what he was doing and blinked curiously.

"Hehe, I haven't paid attention to magical girl anime for a long time. You don't understand since you have lost your childishness."

Lin Xiaolu raised her lips slightly and drew circles with her chopsticks. She said proudly, "Speaking of magical girls, there is a classic element and scene. I think we can totally use it!"

"A classic scene from a magical girl?" Xia Liang tilted his head. "School?"

"Zero points." Lin Xiaolu gave the verdict coldly.

"What could that be?" Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Xia Liang couldn't help but start thinking.

Combining the previous topic with the current scene, considering the context in which Lin Xiaolu said this, and enumerating the ways to change the current situation one by one, Xia Liang felt that he had vaguely grasped the answer.

Looking at Lin Xiaolu's expression of "I am a genius", she opened her mouth slightly and couldn't help but point her finger at the other party.

Seeing that Xia Liang seemed to have an idea, Lin Xiaolu no longer kept it a secret and chose to reveal the answer.

At this moment, the two finally synchronized their thoughts and said the same words in unison:

"Secret base!"

Chapter 97 Secret Base (4k)

2023-04-30

"Secret base?"

After sending Bai Jingxuan home, Cuique, who came to Xia Liang's house, was a little surprised by the two girls' suggestion: "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Well, after all, our team now has so many people, and each of them has different things to do. Wouldn't it be better to unify the activity location...or something like that?"

Lin Xiaolu nervously tugged at her sleeves, trying hard not to look away, pretending to be guilty: "Look, it's still summer vacation now. When we go back to school, it would be better to meet at a fixed place, right? It feels a bit too much to always be outdoors..."

Her behavior was full of doubts in the eyes of Cuique, but she couldn't figure out the reason for the moment. So she crossed her arms and cast her eyes on Xia Liang who was standing beside her.

Seeing the questioning look on Cuiqiao's face, Xia Liang couldn't help but twitch her lips and subconsciously glanced at Lin Xiaolu. However, when she saw Lin Xiaolu's timid look, she knew that she couldn't count on her at all.

Retracting his gaze, Xia Liang could only try to tidy up his expression and pretend to be calm:

"That is to say, with all the moving around now, we waste a lot of time on the road every day. Xiaolu and I feel that it affects our efficiency."

"If there is a secret base, we can even live there together, whether it is special training or tutoring, it will be more convenient, right?"
