Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 157 Lin Xiaolu's Determination
"So, this is the explanation you gave? You have been whispering these days when you have nothing to do, so you are discussing this kind of thing?"

The next night, in the living room of the secret base.Under the bright lights, Delphinium folded her hands and said angrily, "You just came to a conclusion so arbitrarily, and then turned around and talked nonsense with Bo Xue? Why didn't you say that I was your own mother?"

"Huh? Is there such a possibility?" Lin Xiaolu was shocked.

"Huh?" Delphinium annoyed.

"Ugh..."

After being warned again by Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu could only sit down on the sofa dejectedly, and said with a dejected face, "Well, I was wrong."

Just now, she was rebuked by Delphinium mercilessly.

Delphinium first asked Lin Xiaolu seriously: Why on earth did she come to such an outrageous conclusion.After listening to Lin Xiaolu's narration of her own thinking, she refuted several logical loopholes in it very ruthlessly, so that Lin Xiaolu was completely unable to refute, and even felt ashamed.

It sounds like what the delphinium said made sense, could it be that he really made a mistake?That would be too embarrassing.

Lin Xiaolu thought with a sad face.

And when she was being trained here, the other two girls were also sitting on the side. Bai Jingxuan was looking at her nose and heart, lowering her eyes as if she was a little guilty; Xia Liang was covering her mouth, her shoulders kept shrugging , It seems that the next second will burst into laughter.

"The one over there, don't gloat."

Noticing Xia Liang's movements, delphinium squinted and raised her chin slightly: "You are obviously different from them, why are you messing around with these two children?"

"I'm older than her." Lin Xiaolu whispered.

"I didn't ask you." Delphinium rubbed her forehead.

So Lin Xiaolu closed her mouth a little aggrieved.

"Nonsense? No."

On the other side, Xia Liang smiled and said innocently, "I think Xiaolu's guess is quite reasonable, I was convinced by her."

"You were persuaded by her?" Delphinium's cold and clear voice fluctuated slightly.

"Isn't it? Junior, are you shy?"

Xia Liang's face was full of innocence, and she looked at delphinium as if she didn't know it at all: "I don't think it's necessary, we all support you and uncle in pursuing your own happiness—it hurts so much!"

Before she could finish speaking, a chestnut ate on her forehead, and she immediately swallowed back the few syllables she hadn't finished speaking.

"Now you and Baimei are accomplices, sit down."

Delphinium withdrew her hand and pointed to the empty seat next to Lin Xiaolu: "I want to have a good talk with you today."

"Ah... I was knocked out, and I had to be hugged and comforted to stand up and walk." Xia Liang didn't stand up and move her position, but slumped on the sofa, clutching her forehead weakly.

"Do you still want to eat?" Delphinium put his hands on his hips.

"Oh."

So Xia Liang sat down beside Lin Xiaolu obediently.

After Xia Liang's training, delphinium finally shifted her gaze to Bai Jingxuan, looking at the girl who was sitting there curled up like a helpless little animal.

Seemingly noticing Delphinium's gaze, Bai Jingxuan buried her head deeper.

Only she knew that her problem was not only spreading rumors, but also going to the Bureau of Different Strategies to speak nonsense, which caused a lot of trouble for the director and others.

Now that delphinium knows what he said to the director's uncle that day, there is no reason why he didn't know how he played tricks in the Bureau of Different Strategies.

Thinking of this, Bai Jingxuan didn't dare to look up at Delphinium at all.

Seeing the child's performance, delphinium's originally depressed mood became more complicated, and she couldn't help feeling a headache about it, and then sighed silently.

She really couldn't figure out what to do with Bai Jingxuan. Because of the other party's delicate state of mind, she didn't even want to reprimand her, for fear of irritating the child again.

Delphinium's somewhat lengthy silence caught the attention of Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang. The two looked at Delphinium and Bai Jingxuan suspiciously, and felt the subtle atmosphere in it.

"You...don't learn from the two seniors."

After being silent for a long time, delphinium finally choked out such a sentence: "Let's reflect on it."

—— "Huh? That's it! Partial!"

"Unfair, unfair! Oppose differential treatment!"

Seeing that the delphinium's attitude towards Bai Jingxuan has softened significantly, what he said was not to be reprimanded, but more like comfort.The two girls on the side suddenly quarreled in dissatisfaction.

Knowing their reaction, Delphinium looked back at them and said calmly, "Do you also think you are 11-year-olds?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xiaolu hated being treated like a child the most, so she fell silent immediately after hearing this sentence.

"If the junior approves, I can be." Xia Liang didn't care about this at all, and puffed out her chest quite confidently.

With the most obvious arc among the four, the movement of her chest immediately attracted Lin Xiaolu's attention, causing Lin Xiaolu's eyes to widen slightly.

When she heard Xia Liang's words, she connected with the scene in front of her. For some reason, the thoughts in her heart suddenly turned into words and blurted out: "Why are you 11 years old?"

"Why can't I be 11 years old?" Xia Liang also widened her eyes.

"Precocious women still want to pretend to be tender! Don't say you are 11 years old, even if you say you are 15 years old, people will believe you!" Lin Xiaolu sharply accused.

"Oh, are you jealous?"

Lin Xiaolu's words immediately made Xia Liang smile knowingly, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Indeed, after all, I am not like someone, and my height will soon be overtaken by a real 11-year-old."

"Huh? What is a real 11-year-old? Xiaoxuan is obviously taller than a normal 11-year-old girl!" Lin Xiaolu argued.

"That's why you are also shorter than the normal 14-year-old." Xia Liang was satisfied.

"Height... there is no uniform standard for this kind of thing! Isn't Delphinium shorter than me! She is an adult!" Lin Xiaolu pointed at Delphinium.

"Little senior... Well, it seems to be true." Xia Liang showed a look of embarrassment.

"Stop it, you two, stop it."

Seeing that the topic of bickering between the two of them was brought to him for some reason, Delphinium stopped it in time: "Don't forget your current position, even if I am only your senior now, I still hope that you will have basic respect for the person involved when you make a mistake. .”

"Yes--"

Xia Liang agreed in a long voice, but before he was honest for two seconds, he changed the topic again: "Then I have one last question, and after I finish asking, I will kill you."

"I'm not a brutal executioner, don't say it so scary."

Delphinium frowned slightly: "Ask."

"I want to be a sensible ghost, junior, how did this matter get to you?"

Xia Liang rested her chin and looked at the delphinium with a slightly inquiring gaze: "Xiaolu should only talk to me, Xiaoxuan and Mo Ke. Xiaolu and I will definitely not talk nonsense, Xiaolu A well-behaved child like Xuan shouldn't know how to do it, could it be that Mo Ke has become a traitor?"

"Yes! Why would the delphinium know!"

Lin Xiaolu on the side realized it later, and then became furious: "Moke! He betrayed us just to flatter us! I'll go catch him and confront him!"

After saying that, he stood up directly from the sofa and went to the second floor to look for Mo Ke.

"Stop, I said stop."

Delphinium hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab her, and said helplessly, "Don't go up and make trouble for Nini, it's not Moke."

"Not Moco?"

Lin Xiaolu's annoyed expression calmed down immediately, and she blinked in confusion: "Who could it be?"

Her eyes swept over Xia Liang who was at the side, but she saw Xia Liang shook her head; her eyes looked at Bai Jingxuan in the distance again, but she retracted before Bai Jingxuan could react; finally, she pointed her finger at herself, out of surprise And the white canine teeth were exposed between the parted lips: "Could it be—"

——"Yes, it's me."

Bai Jingxuan raised her hand and interrupted Lin Xiaolu's words.

She raised her right hand high to show her existence, and said in a small but clear voice, "I said it."

After thinking about it, she seemed to feel that such a statement was not specific enough, so she added: "It was I who told my father that I slipped the tongue."

These words made everyone's eyes focus on her.

"Dad, Dad?"

Lin Xiaolu first repeated the word with some doubts, obviously very confused about it.Because she knew that Bai Jingxuan lived in an orphanage before. Although it was cruel, the word "father" should not have appeared in her mouth at this time.

It's just that when she came back to the memory gradually and made a reverse calculation based on her own guess, she soon understood who the "father" Bai Jingxuan was talking about was.

Because of her surprise, her mouth, which she had not been able to close, suddenly opened wider: "Could it be that the father you are talking about is... huh? So you have already discussed this in secret?"

It seemed that she realized that this image was not good, so she quickly covered her mouth again, but the look of horror in her eyes did not diminish at all.She looked at Delphinium, feeling both happy and worried: "Doesn't this mean..."

Delphinium didn't contradict her.

It wasn't that she didn't want to refute, but that she didn't hear what Lin Xiaolu was saying clearly.

Bai Jingxuan's words were no less shocking to her in the director's office than before, but this time, speaking this word in front of Lin Xiaolu was far more lethal than that time, so that her breath was short stagnated.

"... Please explain again, why is it your father?"

She opened her mouth to Bai Jingxuan, trying her best to ask the question calmly as usual, but her tone was indiscernibly out of tune.

"Because, because! When I yelled, Dad didn't deny it!"

After plucking up the courage to speak, Bai Jingxuan's voice became much louder. She raised the volume and said in a voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Dad, he accepted it! She also asked me very gently who said it all." ! So I said it!"

This time, both volume and content were clearly transmitted to Delphinium's ears.

She stood there like a sculpture, with a cold and indifferent expression on her face, but her movements and eyes were completely rigid.

After being silent for a long time, she finally turned her head to the side slowly, her gaze moved towards Lin Xiaolu's direction, and finally, she met Lin Xiaolu's scorching gaze.

"Things are not what you think." Delphinium said dryly.

"I get it! I totally get it!"

Lin Xiaolu said excitedly, "Delphinium, you don't need to worry about my opinion, I support you!"

"Although I actually don't want to have a stepmother, if Delphinium you have such an idea, I, I can't accept it at all!"

"My mother also gave me a dream a few days ago. In the dream, she handed me over to you. I think it means that she supports you to be my mother!"

——What the hell is this girl talking about?
The corners of Delphinium's mouth twitched slightly, but she knew that excitement would be useless at this time, so she continued to maintain a steady tone: "No, it's really not what you think, I have no idea of ​​getting married at all..."

"It's because, when you and my mother liked Dad, you chose to quit, right?"

Lin Xiaolu wiped the corners of her eyes for some reason, and said with a slightly choked tone, "I have fully figured it out. I have already understood the past, you, my mother, and father."

"Delphinium, you and your mother used to be teammates, and you and your father were childhood sweethearts, but in the end, there was a disagreement in your relationship. Because you are too gentle, you must have chosen to quit at that time, right?"

"You sacrificed your emotions, so you chose to go to the Magic Kingdom. And because your mother passed away, you want to return to the city where you used to live to protect it."

"Because of this, I have never been married, and I have always remained single. Even though I have reached this age, I still... Really, thank you for your hard work."

"Although I still have some undue grudges in my heart, I don't think I should stop you from choosing your own happiness. I should support you!"

At the end, she held Delphinium's hand for some reason, and said affectionately:

"So, you don't need to care about my opinion anymore! Freely pursue your own happiness!"

Seeing Lin Xiaolu holding her hand, delphinium felt her vision was a little loose.

What is this girl talking about?What is she trying to express?Speaking of which, does the person she's talking about sound familiar?

Her mind was full of chaotic thoughts, but she knew that it was far from the time to admit defeat. The more critical it was, the more she should keep calm and let the rumors end with the wise.

So, how should I explain myself?What kind of reason can bypass Lin Xiaolu's weird logic and re-convince her that "Lin Yun" and "Delphinium" have no emotional entanglements?
In an instant, Delphinium set off a brainstorm of only her own, and began to quickly search for suitable solutions and reasons.

——"Xiaolu, you can't do this, little senior, what she resists is not to expose this relationship to you."

But before the delphinium could think of a new excuse, Xia Liang who was at the side suddenly spoke.

She had a considerate smile on her face, like a pure Cupid: "If you want me to say, she is just not ready to accept the identity of 'mother' just like that. She is not ready to accept you like this." daughter."

"Accept me... this daughter?"

As if seeing a new continent, Lin Xiaolu repeated what Xia Liang said: "Is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem."

Xia Liang put her hands behind her back, with a smile on her face: "So, you have to let her feel that being your mother is not a bad thing, and it won't be her burden."

Lin Xiaolu was stunned.

She understood what Xia Liang wanted to express.

She looked at the delphinium in front of her with dull eyes again, and opened her mouth subconsciously, but she only felt that her mouth was dry at this moment.

The lips were gently closed, and then opened again, and the tiger teeth tapped lightly with her movements.Then, an initial consonant came out of her mouth that was neither flat nor tongue-tipping.

"Mother."

In this way, she took advantage of her current momentum and yelled out a word that she couldn't believe.

"mom!"

Bai Jingxuan on the side also seemed to realize something, trotted to Delphinium, and shouted like this.

"mom!"

"mom!"

The two girls, one big and one small, just gathered around the delphinium, shouting the same word one after another.

Caught between them, Delphinium remained silent, allowing them to repeat the most common words in human language like children who had just learned to speak.

She didn't look at Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, or Bai Jingxuan.Her eyes stared straight at the void in the distance, as if seeing the vast Milky Way universe, and also as if seeing the endless deep ocean.

There is nothing left.
