Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 99 End of Summer and Coolness in Summer (4k5)

As early as more than a month ago, during the stalking oolong incident in the shopping center, Xia Liang discovered some clues because he dialed Lin Yun's "Delphinium's mobile phone".

At that time, in order to avoid embarrassment and cover up the truth, Lin Yun gave the explanation that "I knew Delphinium, and she left her mobile phone at her home."

There are actually many contradictions behind such a statement, but at that time he had very short thinking time, and under the urgent situation, he could not give a better explanation.

But now, when Xia Liang used almost the same method again and asked this sentence, Delphinium knew that there was no room for explanation.

Even if she used the same words to deceive, saying "Lin Yun left the mobile phone at Delphinium's house", she still couldn't explain the logic behind this matter: why did she bring someone else's mobile phone with her?
If you want to complete a lie, you need to use more lies to make up for omissions; if you want to conceal one thing, you will deform your behavior accordingly.

Delphinium is not a professional orator or liar, and she doesn't want, and doesn't want to put too much energy into endlessly fabricating lies.So she narrowed her eyes and sighed slowly:

"It seems too self-willed to pursue these things."

She chose to drop the argument altogether.

"For what?"

Xia Liang tilted her head while holding the phone, and said innocently, "I don't know what you're talking about, senior?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she received a shudder from Delphinium on the forehead.

"It hurts!" Xia Liang immediately covered her head.

"I've already guessed it, so why pretend?"

Delphinium withdrew her hand helplessly, looked at Xia Liang with drooping eyelids: "You child, when did you notice it?"

"Little senior, are you admitting it?" Xia Liang asked in surprise, pressing her forehead.

"It's all over, why don't you admit it?" Taking a few steps back, Delphinium leaned against the railing of the balcony, "Although it's a difficult thing to talk about, I'm not going to play tricks on children .”

"Hey, that's good." Let go of the hand covering his head, Xia Liang smiled and took two steps forward, lowered his voice again, and asked in delphinium's ear: "So, what I saw 'Uncle Lin' is really the same person as the junior?"

Delphinium didn't answer.

She just looked at Xia Liang expressionlessly, then turned her head towards the balcony door.

The meaning of this action is also obvious: ask Xia Liang to close the door before speaking, lest Lin Xiaolu in the room hear the next conversation.

Xia Liang quickly understood, she turned around, ran to close the balcony door very actively, and then looked at Delphinium again with eyes full of curiosity and searching.

"... Let me tell you how you found out first." Delphinium said with her gaze lowered.

"Is that making me give an acceptance speech?"

"You can think so, because I also want to know your thinking." Delphinium said bluntly.

"Well... If you want to say when, it should be after the last call?"

Xia Liang nodded her chin, and said with a little thought: "I really didn't think about it at first, I just thought that you and Uncle Lin knew each other, after all, you also said, senior: You and Xiaolu's mother used to It's a teammate, and it's normal to know her father."

"However, last time, when the magical girl with the claw marks called, you, senior, appeared at Uncle Lin's work place for the first time."

"Afterwards, I remembered what happened before, which was also what Xiaolu told me: On the day when Uncle Lin went to hold a parent-teacher meeting for her, the light rail tram encountered a crippled beast on the road. The crippled beast that time was also dealt with by the junior. with?"

Delphinium paused for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, but it still doesn't seem to be evidence. If it's only to this extent, the past can still be explained by 'there is a close connection between me and him'."

"But this is already the second time, cell phone."

After hearing the delphinium's rhetorical question, Xia Liang pointed to the other party's pocket: "If you are really two people, senior, with 'Uncle Lin' and have a close relationship, so that every time a crippled beast appears, you can catch up with it as quickly as possible." To...then there is no reason to let the other party's mobile phone be left here, causing the loss of contact with each other, right?"

"Just like senior, you are worried about our safety, so you asked Xiaolu to notify you when you found a broken beast. If you have some kind of intimate relationship with 'Uncle Lin', even if you lose your phone with the other party, it must be the first time. Just take it back."

"There are many other doubts. For example, little senior, you and 'Uncle Lin' seem to have a close relationship but their actions overlap; Hongsi and sister seem to have some interest in 'Uncle Lin', but they have no objection to your relationship... ..."

As he explained it sentence by sentence, delphinium's expression also changed from helplessness to thought, and finally returned to plainness.

There was no joy or anger in her plain expression, and no trace of personal emotion could be found, which made Xia Liang, who was still in the mood of asking for credit, gradually become hesitant, and even a little guilty.

"I know it, and it's still not enough to confirm everything at this point. And my guess is too strange, it's probably just my own delusion. So I took this opportunity to play a prank, I think Get the real answer from you, senior."

After describing her thoughts, seeing Delphinium still didn't say a word, she could only bite the bullet and say, "Did I make you angry by doing this?"

——Are you angry?
Delphinium couldn't help asking herself.

It stands to reason that when a person tries to hide things that are exposed by others, he will feel somewhat ashamed because of this, and feel that his privacy is being pryed into by others, which is an offense.

But now she doesn't feel that way at all.Compared with the shame of the secret being revealed, what is more in her heart is the relief after letting go of the heavy burden.

After all, her original intention, what she really wanted to do, was never to deceive.

Thinking of this, delphinium's eyes finally softened, and in the end, he closed his eyes.

After getting along day and night, there will always be some clues revealed, and Xia Liang is indeed sensitive enough to extract the correct answer from a bunch of clues.

"...Children who are too smart are sometimes annoying."

she commented softly.

"Hey, thanks for the compliment."

Seeing that the delphinium finally responded to her, Xia Liang also smiled again: "But I don't want to be hated by the junior, I'm going to be a stupid kid now, can you stop hating me?"

"It's enough that you don't hate me. Rather, I thought you would be very angry."

Opening her eyes again, Delphinium's eyes were clear: "After all, I actually lied to you too, and just because I couldn't face the relationship with Xiaolu frankly, I concealed it from you together."

"Besides, it's strange that an uncle in his 30s is a magical girl in private, right? Such an uncle nonchalantly points at you as a magical girl in front of your seniors. You won't feel disgusted ?"

--"Eh?"

Hearing delphinium's words, Xia Liang was a little dazed, then shook his head naively and said, "No way?"

"I don't have the right to disgust others, right? What's more, that person is a junior. You are the person I respect and rely on most now."

She walked to the balcony railing and stood beside Delphinium: "I am very aware of my bad nature. When I was a child, I failed to stop the conflicts between my parents for pure self-satisfaction; and because of these things, I gave up on myself and directly became He became the 'bad boy' in the eyes of most people; now he has finally found his place in the magical girl squad, but he is still immersed in such desires, yearning for more care and love."

"I am so ugly, I am the least qualified to despise others as disgusting."

She said as if sighing something.

And as Delphinium cast its gaze over, the two looked at each other for a moment, Xia Liang suddenly opened his arms again.

"Why?" Delphinium asked a little strangely.

"I want to hug." Xia Liang said with her hands open.

"why?"

"Little senior, if you don't believe me, let me give you a hug to prove that I don't hate you."

"I've already believed it, don't do such a coy thing." Delphinium turned her face away and said.

"If you don't want to, I'll tell Xiaolu." Xia Liang puffed out her mouth a little awkwardly.

Delphinium was speechless.

She looked up at Xia Liang, and couldn't help but look in the direction of his room, only to see that the light was still on at the window, casting the shadow of Lin Xiaolu leaning over her desk.

"...Okay." She couldn't help but sighed again, and opened her hands a little stiffly.

Xia Liang smiled secretly.

She took two steps forward, bent slightly, and hugged the delphinium.

At the end of summer, the summer season, the heat in the air is blown away by the cool wind, the night is slightly cold, and the breeze passes through the buildings and blows over the small, low balcony.

The chirping of the cicadas downstairs was a bit hoarse and low, and the cicada on the tree tried its best to make the last chirp of its life, as if saying goodbye to the last summer of its life.

"...How about it, do you feel it? I don't hate senior."

On the balcony, Xia Liang hugged the delphinium gently, her voice buzzing: "Even if 'Uncle Lin' is standing here, this pure feeling is the same. Although in that case, I might not dare to hug it .”

"Actually, you don't need to hug me." Delphinium stood motionless, her body a little stiff, "I told you, I already believed in you."

Xia Liang didn't respond to this sentence, as if she didn't hear it, or pretended not to hear it, and just hugged the delphinium quietly for a while.

"Sure enough, holding the little senior will feel very at ease, cool, soft, and fragrant."

After maintaining it for a while, she suddenly said: "Actually, I wanted to ask last time, what kind of shampoo do you use for your hair, little senior?"

"...I can send you the brand of shampoo if you need it."

Delphinium looked blank: "I've held you for long enough, so can you let go?"

"No."

Xia Liang also kept her posture motionless, and said softly: "It's better to say that now I am filled with a very ugly joy in my heart: because I feel that I have found a secret that the younger generation didn't bother to talk about, we now have something in common, and we have something in common." We have shared a common secret, and now we finally have a different relationship."

"I want to emphasize it many times, I will not hate the little senior, after all, the little senior pulled me back from the edge of the cliff. I just want to know more about the little senior, and want to know more about you .”

"As I said, I am a child who lacks love, so please don't blame me for holding on so tightly."

"After all, if I don't do this, what I get will always be the love left over from Xiaolu, which is like leftovers."

"Although this is my ugly, insatiable greed, what I want is not leftovers, but what belongs to me. Even if there is no change in size, as long as it belongs to me."

This time, Delphinium really didn't know how to respond.

Although Xia Liang's expression was very cryptic, she could understand what Xia Liang said.

The same things as Xiaolu, not leftovers, even if there are not so many.Delphinium can give Lin Xiaolu wholeheartedly, but it is difficult to share with Xia Liang. Naturally, there is only one thing - family affection.

Xia Liang's request is tantamount to saying that she wants to treat herself like a parent, and hopes that she can treat her like a child.

But just because she understood, she couldn't speak.Rather, it was the first time she felt confused about Xia Liang's cross-line, even stubborn thoughts.

The request was too abrupt and casual when it should have been a serious matter.

She could understand Xia Liang's longing for family affection after losing her father and being coldly abandoned by her mother, but she never expected that she would make such a request at such a time.

If delphinium was a very casual person and didn't care about the various responsibilities and ethical issues behind this request at all, then she could naturally accept it at will, saying that Xia Liang would be her adopted daughter from now on, and the two parties regarded themselves as parents and children.

However, she is not that kind of person. She understands and attaches great importance to the weight of family and affection.

From being a senior of a magical girl to being a parent and child, the span of this relationship is too great, and the responsibilities behind it are too heavy, so heavy that Delphinium is speechless.

Even Lin Xiaolu's daughter, they have had so many problems with each other, can I really take this responsibility?

After thinking for a long time, delphinium pushed Xia Liang's shoulder, and the two separated from the hug.

"Think about it again, I need to think about it too."

She tried to keep her voice as soft as possible so as not to touch Xia Liang's emotions: "You are a very good and excellent child. I am very happy that you are willing to recognize me like this. However, I don't want you to regret it in the future, and I also hope that We are all responsible for the rest of your life, so don't make such a decision just yet."

"I've already..." Xia Liang wanted to say something, but saw Delphinium make a silent gesture, and then shook her head.

"Today's capricious time is over, you should remember that capriciousness should be 'moderate'." Delphinium said so.

Xia Liang was stunned for a while, then shook his head, and smiled helplessly: "Okay, then I'll talk about these things later."

"However, I have one more request."

Patting herself on the face, she regained her energy and looked at Delphinium seriously: "As a bad boy's last self-willedness, although I didn't plan to tell Xiaolu, I want a hush money."

"Specifically?" Delphinium raised her head and hugged her hands.

"Specifically, we make an appointment on any day, we—"

— “Ah, you are all here!”

Xia Liang couldn't finish her words.Because this sentence just started, it was interrupted by a voice from the living room on the side of the balcony.

I saw Lin Xiaolu holding the test paper in her hand, pulling her slippers, coming from the living room aggressively, and then slammed open the balcony door: "You leave me aside, what are you talking about behind my back! listen!"

Xia Liang could only stop her words, because this was not something that should be brought up in front of Lin Xiaolu, so she chose to keep silent and looked at Delphinium with a smile.

Delphinium knew what the other meant.In just one night, this was already the urge for her to sigh several times.

But right now, she was not ready to reveal the truth to Lin Xiaolu, so she drooped her eyelids, and said in unison with Xia Liang:
"It's nothing, I'm talking about the topic."
