Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 110 A Surprise

At the booth in the corner, one could hear the hour hand drop.

Delphinium stared at Xia Liang steadfastly, blinked twice for a long while, and suddenly didn't know what to say.In other words, Xia Liang's question was completely out of her expectation, so much so that she didn't have a corresponding draft in her mind.

She never expected Xia Liang to think of this level.

It's just that her silence didn't make Xia Liang realize anything. Rather, she was also very nervous when she asked this question, for fear of offending Delphinium, so she just lowered her head and secretly glanced at the other party, biting the bullet and continuing to list her thoughts Other possibilities in:
"What kind of state is that? Is it true that you have become a man inside and out?"

"Is there really such a magic formula that can completely change the gender of a person, turn a magical girl into a man, and even have offspring with other women?"

"Or is it that your usual 'Uncle Lin' appearance is just an illusion, and you didn't really become 'Uncle Lin'? But then how did Xiaolu get here..."

Even though the tone of the question was very guilty, Xia Liang became eloquent when talking about this question, and even had a tendency to exhaustively list the answers by his own imagination.It seems that this doubt has indeed been held back in her heart for a long time.

It's just that Delphinium listened to her words, but her hand on the table gradually became weak.

Xia Liang discovered the truth that "Lin Yun and Delphinium are the same person", this matter is already a fait accompli, so she can confess all this to Xia Liang without any burden, because she doesn't need to hide anything.

However, the issue Xia Liang is discussing now is no longer within its scope.

"Why do you think so?"

She interrupted Xia Liang's words, and asked softly: "Instead of other possibilities? For example, am I originally a man?"

"Young senior, you are fooling me with impossible things."

Xia Liang raised her head slightly: "It is impossible for a man to become a magical girl, even I know this kind of thing."

"Maybe I'm a special case." Delphinium asked nonchalantly.

"If senior is a special case..."

Hearing this, Xia Liang imagined a little bit, thinking of the intimate interaction between himself and the delphinium these days, if the delphinium is really a man...

"Young senior, you will be taken away by the police for questioning?" She said with some uncertainty.

Seeing that delphinium's eyelids were lowered and she was about to roll her eyes, she hurriedly laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding, after all we all know that this is impossible."

"Because the true nature of our magical girls should not be the appearance of our own soul?"

"From the moment we transform into a magical girl, our image is formed according to our original appearance, and as we advance to the Bud level, our body as a magical girl will remain constant and will never change over time .”

"So, no matter what your appearance looks like, little senior, the original appearance was also the appearance when you became a magical girl, and it is the girl in front of me now, right?"

Her reasoning is well-founded and logical. If an uninformed passer-by is to make a judgment, she will feel that what she said is very reasonable.And if the person involved is not herself, then Delphinium will admit that she spoke very well.

Only, that's "if".

"A good boy's curiosity should be stopped in moderation."

She raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Xia Liang expressionlessly: "You are a smart and sensitive child, so you know it yourself, it's time to stop."

When she said "stop", she was referring to more than just the problem at hand.

At this moment, Xia Liang understood the meaning of her words.

The eyes that were originally full of searching desire gradually dimmed at this moment. She knew what the delphinium was really conveying to her, so she opened and closed her lips slightly, after all, she didn't ask for anything.

"...It seems that I am really a little too excited today."

Lowering her eyes slightly, she had an apologetic wry smile on her face: "I'm sorry."

Delphinium just looked at her like this, and after a while, leaning on the table, she stood up slowly.

"Let's go back."

she said so.

When she uttered these words, it was already close to evening. After a busy afternoon of travel, the sun's light had gradually turned yellow, turning the sky orange.

The atmosphere between the two changed from being lively and frivolous before, to awkward and silent again. Delphinium walked in front with crisp footsteps, while Xia Liang silently followed behind.The two bid farewell to the owner of the cafe, returned to the parking lot in the direction they came, and then sat back in the car.

Delphinium probed under her feet, found the raised pedals on the unfamiliar driver's seat, and then skillfully pulled out the seat belt on the side, and buckled it in front of her body.

Then, as the car started, she said, "I'm not actually blaming you."

"I have told you before that compared with you, I am an adult, an adult. I also promised you that in order to express my concern for you, I can allow you to be self-willed and will not be angry with you .”

"You don't need to apologize to me, because I'm actually not angry because of your behavior today. In fact, I feel very relieved that you were able to have a good time."

"Before I came out today, I was actually a little uncertain. After all, we are not of the same generation. As your senior, I can teach you with a serious attitude in matters of magical girls and studies; but if you need a Friends, need a loved one, want to go out with me and have fun, I don't have that confidence."

"So all I can think of is to take you to the places I liked when I was young. I used to have fun there and enjoy my youth, so I hope these places can also make you feel fun."

"It seems that although the process is a bit tortuous, the effect is not bad."

When she said these words, although her tone was as calm and cold as ever, the meaning expressed in it was sincere enough.This made Xia Liang, who was shrunk in the back seat, raise his head, and looked at Delphinium through the rearview mirror.

"...Little senior, you have done well enough."

She opened her mouth slowly, trying to make herself look like she didn't mind: "I actually know it all. In fact, you have been accommodating me all day today. Rather, although I proposed this 'date' Yes, but the most caring thing is actually you."

"When it rained heavily in the morning and I couldn't make up my mind, it was you who didn't mind this imposed agreement, changed the original itinerary, and pulled me out."

"I met my former friends in the morning. When I was unwilling to deal with them, you also accepted my unreasonable request and drove them away."

"These activities in the afternoon are even more fun for me alone. I can feel that you are not very interested, but you are still messing around with me."

"So today I'm actually really happy, and I'm very grateful to you, senior, for doing this."

"The reason why I feel a little depressed now is not because you said 'enough is enough', senior, but because I realized that I still haven't grown and changed at all."

This sentence made Delphinium frown slightly, and turned her head to ask: "Sure enough, we should report the matter of those children to the youth guidance? This is fair enough for you, and it can also ensure that they will at least not continue to go astray."

"No, that's not it! That's enough for now!"

Xia Liang raised her voice, waved her hands again and again, and then said a little dejectedly: "What I want to talk about is actually myself."

"Because I found that I am still the same as before, and I always like to immerse myself in self-satisfaction."

"In the past, I was immersed in the imagination of playing the role of a 'good boy'. I didn't want to change anything. I just wanted to use 'be nice' to solve everything, and use 'I am a good boy' to escape reality and my own responsibilities."

"The current me is because you said 'willful' and discovered some of your secrets, senior, so I think I can use this to ask for something, and I use 'willful' as an excuse for 'nonsense'."

"Sure enough, I screwed up again."

"Obviously I wanted to take this opportunity to get closer and better with the junior, but when I thought about it, I lost my original sense of proportion, and I couldn't control my distracting thoughts, so I went too far without knowing it."

"I've always been like this, as long as I get pleasure from doing something and make myself feel satisfied, then I will repeat this behavior indefinitely."

"If you get a chicken feather as an arrow, you probably mean someone like me?"

After she finished speaking, like a child waiting for a teacher to criticize, she hesitated and looked in the direction of Delphinium.

Obviously, she hopes that this self-examination can play the role of "actively admitting mistakes", and redeem her evaluation in Delphinium's heart.

It's just that she didn't know that delphinium didn't have any comments on Xia Liang's behavior that could be called a bit of nonsense today.

In fact, she didn't feel the need to comment.

No one is perfect, and everyone in the world has their own personality flaws. Even Delphinium herself has countless regrets and self-blame. How can she ask a child not to make mistakes?

Even a true saint cannot be made overnight, there will always be a process of growth and self-examination.And Xia Liang's self-awareness is clear enough, which has already surpassed countless peers.

At least, my own daughter can't do this now.

At this time, what she should do is not to criticize, or even evaluate, because this is what Xia Liang herself has done, and she has done it rightly, so there is no need for her to repeat it.

When children know their mistakes, they still continue to blame and complain, which is a manifestation of the incompetence of the elders.

Delphinium doesn't want to be that incompetent person, so there is still only one thing she should do—guidance.

She had to tell Xia Liang what was the right thing to do.

"...You always talk about 'love', but what is the love you are after?"

Delphinium spoke softly: "Or, when you said this word, did you ever think about its meaning?"

"what is love?"

Xia Liang looked up suspiciously: "Isn't love just love?"

"There are different kinds of love."

On the narrow road, passing vehicles on the side, Delphinium calmly added while turning the steering wheel: "Love, love, friendship, fraternity, love is a very complicated thing, when you are longing for When you love', have you really thought about what you want?"

"I didn't think about it."

Xia Liang shook her head: "Little senior, I told you before. For me, the difference between love is actually very small. As long as it is love, it is fine for me."

"What kind of love is fine, as long as it belongs to me, I don't mind what they are and what they are for."

"Because I am a child who lacks love, if I pick and choose what I already lack, I may really have nothing."

What Xia Liang said did not exceed delphinium's expectations.

As early as that late summer night, Xia Liang discovered the truth about herself. When she confessed to herself on the balcony, Delphinium had vaguely guessed her thoughts.

Xia Liang doesn't mind the type of love, what she lacks is the source of love, so when she finds someone who is willing to give her love, she will endlessly dig out possible "love" from the other party.

The fact that Xia Liang formed the character she has today is not due to lack of self-control, but because she is "fearful of poverty".

This kind of "poor" is not a lack of material, but a spiritual lack of what she called "love".

Just like a person who was once branded by a poor life, even if his life is rich, he is always restless and wants more money; Subconsciously thrifty, do not want to waste a little food.

Xia Liang has a similar mentality, except that what she hoards is not material, but "love".

Everything she does is actually an extension of this "lack of love".Whether it's the unconditional obedience to one's own parents; the unbridled connivance of those bad "friends"; or even the unlimited intimacy with delphiniums today, all stem from the same pursuit.

"It's not your fault that you long for 'love' like this and fear losing 'love'."

So Delphinium said: "Your parents have failed in this matter. They failed to give enough care to their children when they needed love. This is their fault."

"Those bad kids are also very bad in this matter: they may approach you under the banner of 'friendship', but because of immature jealousy or various reasons, they will only bring you harm in the end. I also agree with this point. I hope you can distinguish clearly and keep it in your heart.”

"You will feel that things like love are lacking. It's not your fault that you didn't get enough love; it's just that your past environment was not good enough, and everyone you meet has their own problems."

Driving the suv back to the villa area gradually, and parked it underground, delphinium led Xia Liang out of the garage.As she walked towards the gate of the villa, she continued: "Do you still remember what I taught you when you talked to me for the first time?"

"...Don't blindly suppress yourself, learn to be self-willed?" Xia Liang was a little uncertain.

"Yes, you can take it as the first lesson I taught you."

Walking into the courtyard of the villa area and standing in front of the entrance door, Delphinium took out her key: "And now, you can take all this as the second lesson I taught you."

"What?" Xia Liang asked a little confused.

"The content of this lesson can be summed up in a few words."

Put the key into the keyhole, twist the lock, and open the door, Delphinium turned sideways to Xia Liang, her voice was cold but subtly warm:
— "It's called 'Love Is Not Scarce.'"

Behind the entrance door, there are flickering decorations, colorful flags hanging from the living room to the entrance, and a huge banner that can be seen at a glance.

At this moment, Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan suddenly smiled and came out from behind the door, holding the string gun salute, and squeezed together to the delphinium.Then, the three of them looked at Xia Liang at the same time.

"Snapped"!
In the sound of the salute being fired, the three girls spoke together, and then said in unison:
"Happy birthday!"
