Chapter 48

"Is there a doorbell?"

Lin Xiaolu, who was resting her chin on her hands, raised her head and straightened up: "At this time?"

Xia Liang poked his head out from the side and asked, "Is it a courier?"

"I don't know, I haven't bought anything before." Lin Xiaolu directly denied.

"That's what your father bought?" Xia Liang suggested other possibilities.

"Him? I haven't seen him buy anything online."

Still holding a negative attitude towards this, Lin Xiaolu hesitated as soon as she said a word: "However, this possibility cannot be ruled out..."

"So are you going to drive?"

Looking at the door at the entrance, Xia Liang was eager to try: "Anyway, it's daytime, so you should be fine?"

"Whether it's daytime or not, the law and order in our neighborhood should be fine." Lin Xiaolu seemed to be persuaded.

Xia Liang stretched out her hand, and the purple magic power turned into a magic wand and condensed in her hand: "Then I will become a magical girl and stand aside. If it is a bad person, I will fight over there?"

She lowered her eyelids and stared at her for a while, Lin Xiaolu originally wanted to ask "why didn't you go", but thinking that this is her home, she should take some responsibility.So she pressed down her thoughts and stood up from the sofa: "It seems to be possible."

Waving her hand to undo her transformation into a magical girl, Lin Xiaolu pulled her slippers and walked towards the entrance in small steps; Xia Liang knelt on the sofa with her wand, only her head exposed, watching the situation secretly.

Lin Xiaolu frowned and walked to the door. She rested her hand on the doorknob for a moment, pressed it, and opened the door cautiously.

——What caught her eyes was a completely strange woman.

This woman looked to be in her twenties, relatively tall, with bright features, and her black hair was kept in a simple C-shape.She was wearing a printed white cardigan T-shirt on her upper body, a high-waisted denim dress on her lower body, and a small cross-body bag in her hand, giving people the feeling of a capable female white-collar worker.

"Who are you?" Lin Xiaolu was a little dumbfounded.

"Ah, this is Senior's... so cute!"

But the woman in front of her seemed to be no stranger to her at all, and her eyes lit up when she saw Lin Xiaolu: "I've only seen photos before, but real people are cuter than photos!"

Her confession made Lin Xiaolu even more confused: "So who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is seeing you for the first time, Lin Xiaolu, right, come and hug Auntie!" The woman opened her arms enthusiastically.

"Why? I don't want it!" Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but took two steps back.

She was so confused that she didn't know what to say for a while, and Xia Liang and Mo Ke in the living room couldn't help coming over because of the bustling noise.

Seeing the stalemate between the two, Xia Liang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly sorted out the context of the matter, facing the woman at the door, said with a smile:

"Ah, how are you, sister? Who are you looking for?"

The demeanor and etiquette are quite in place, making it impossible to find fault at all, as if she is the child of this family.

And her words made the woman at the door burst into elation: "Huh? You actually called me sister? Hahaha, your child's mouth is too sweet."

Because she was wearing outdoor shoes, she couldn't walk into the door, so she could only stand in the corridor and wave her hand: "Come here too, let my sister kiss you!"

"Well, that's..."

Shocked by the other party's excessive enthusiasm, even Xia Liang couldn't help showing a embarrassed look.

"So who are you!" Lin Xiaolu who was pushed aside asked again.

It wasn't until she asked this question for the third time that the woman at the door seemed to wake up from her over-enthusiastic state.She carefully looked at the two girls in front of her, and when she saw that they were all at a loss, she realized that she didn't seem to have introduced herself yet.

And when a stranger comes up and is so familiar, it really makes people wonder what to do.So she coughed twice and restrained her expression slightly.

"Hey, it seems that none of you know who I am, so let me briefly talk about it first."

Raising the satchel in her hand, she took out a small black ID from it, and shook it in the air: "I am Hong Siyu, the liaison officer of the Different Strategy Bureau, responsible for connecting with your senior Delphinium. Besides, Ten years ago, I was the resident magical girl in Fangting City."

Her movements are quite capable and refreshing, and her smile is very friendly, but a simple sentence uttered under such an expression contains a lot of information, which makes the two girls behind the door a little dull.

"Delphinium's... liaison?"

"A magical girl from ten years ago?"

Obviously, the girls also have different concerns.

Of course, Lin Xiaolu is more concerned about Delphinium's interpersonal relationship. It is impossible to say that she is not curious about what the Delphinium's liaison officer is like.

As for Xia Liang, she would naturally think of the same question as Lin Xiaolu, but the information in the second half of Hong Siyu's sentence is obviously more important.

Seeing that this self-introduction successfully attracted the interest of the two girls, Hong Siyu at the door knocked on the door frame, no longer as overly enthusiastic as when they first met, and asked suggestively: "Having said so much, Aren't you going to let me in and sit down?"

The two girls looked at each other, Xia Liang squeezed her eyes, Lin Xiaolu reluctantly took out a pair of shoe covers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and handed them to Hong Siyu: "Here."

"Hey, sister, I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

After taking the pair of shoe covers from Lin Xiaolu, Hong Siyu lightly put them on the square-toed shoes under his feet, and walked into the door of the apartment in front of him with a feeling of joy that others could not understand.

Stepping into Lin Xiaolu's home, she looked around subconsciously, her eyes moved from the dining room to the living room, she saw the dining table, the clock, the cabinet...and then the sofa that was placed there, a little nostalgic emotion flashed across her face.

It's been a long time.

She said to herself.

Such a strange behavior caused Lin Xiaolu to stare at her strangely, and Xia Liang was also a little puzzled.However, out of etiquette, they quickly brought Hong Siyu to the living room.

Xia Liang turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea, while Lin Xiaolu casually pointed at the sofa, and said with a tense expression, "That's it, please sit down."

"Are you afraid of strangers?" Hong Siyu turned around and asked her.

"Nothing."

Lin Xiaolu replied stiffly, "Please don't treat me like a child."

"Fear of strangers is not really a child's trait."

Hong Sihe found an empty space on the sofa, and sat down casually: "We adults will do the same, too? And we will give ourselves a more serious name, called Social Fear."

"...Nothing is nothing."

"Okay, okay, no."

Hong Siyu smiled teasingly, and at the same time patted the empty seat next to her: "Then can you come and sit next to my sister, so that I can take a good look at you?"

"Hmm..." Regarding this request, Lin Xiaolu still froze in place, motionless.
