Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 187 Homecoming
As the time approached eight o'clock in the evening, Delphinium carried two large plastic shopping bags across the night and returned to the secret base.But when she found the key and opened the door of the house as always, she suddenly felt that something was missing.

Behind the door was an empty entrance, and Lin Xiaolu didn't come over.

In the past month, every time Delphinium returned to the base, Lin Xiaolu would immediately come out to greet her.Sometimes enthusiastic, sometimes peaceful, but in the end it is always the initiative to greet.This kind of intimacy made Delphinium a little awkward at first, but after a long time, she got used to this way of getting along.

But now it seems that today has become an exception.

It's getting late now, and it stands to reason that Lin Xiaolu has already finished her patrol, not to mention Delphinium heard that she will be on vacation for half a day today, so there is no reason not to be at the base.But right now the child didn't come out to greet him, which made Delphinium feel a little regretful for a while.

This feeling of regret did not last long, because she also knew that children are independent individuals with their own affairs, and it is impossible to revolve around themselves all day long. It is normal for them to not answer the door because they are busy But things.So he quickly returned to normal, changed into his slippers in an orderly manner, and walked into the living room with small steps.

What I saw was Xia Liang who was sitting on the sofa watching TV alone, and Bai Jingxuan who was not training in the basement but accompanied in the living room.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

She bent down slightly, and was about to put the shopping bag in her hand aside: "I went to the supermarket before I came back and bought some more ingredients."

"Ah, the little senior is back? We've eaten."

Hearing the movement behind him, Xia Liang sat up immediately, ran out of the living room, and helped Delphinium pick up the shopping bag: "Wow, it's so heavy! Let's put these things in the refrigerator first!"

"I want to help too!" Hearing what she said, Bai Jingxuan who was on the side hurriedly inserted between the two of them and snatched another shopping bag.

"It doesn't need to be so urgent... But thank you anyway."

The two bags in his hand were snatched away one after another in an instant, and the burden was lifted instantly, making Delphinium blink a little helplessly: "By the way, where is Baimei?"

Then, she saw the two people in front of her pause in unison.

"...Sister, she said she wanted to go home, so she left alone." Bai Jingxuan's voice sank subtly.

"We went out together this afternoon, but because of some things, Xiaolu didn't come back with us."

Xia Liang smiled awkwardly: "I wanted to persuade her, but... I really can't persuade her, haha."

"Did something happen?"

Delphinium realized that there seemed to be something else hidden in the two people's reaction to what they said, and subconsciously wanted to raise her eyebrows.However, in order not to bring pressure to the children, she deliberately maintained a peaceful expression: "There is a study session scheduled tonight, why is she coming home suddenly?"

"...Little senior."

"Ok?"

"You must remain calm after listening to what I'm going to say." Putting down the plastic bag in his hand, Xia Liangping stretched out his hand and pressed it down, making a gesture that probably expressed "calmness".

"Is it a serious matter? Has she encountered any danger?" Delphinium's expression tightened.

"No, it's not a dangerous thing. Life safety is definitely not a problem. But it's serious...it's really serious. How should I put it... Well, we went out together for some reason this afternoon, and then decided to We hung out together, so we ended up going to the shopping plaza near the Different Strategy Bureau."

Xia Liang managed to keep a smile on her face:
"Then, at night, I saw Uncle Lin and Sister Hong together."

Because Bai Jingxuan was on the side, she chose a somewhat roundabout way of saying it, and used a more objective way of saying it, but delphinium can still understand the meaning of this sentence:

The scene of himself and Hong Siyu acting together was seen.

——"Mom! Dad is having an affair!"

Seeing Xia Liang tell the truth, Bai Jingxuan on the side followed suit, but her understanding of the matter was obviously in another dimension: "That's why my sister wants to go back to her home, she said she wants to confront Dad! "

Confrontation?

As soon as Bai Jingxuan uttered this word, and through its brief transmission in the brain, delphinium's thinking fell into a momentary blank.

It took her some effort to let herself accept this fact. After she regained her senses, she first looked at Bai Jingxuan, and found that she couldn't find any useful information from the child's face, so she looked at Xia Liang again.

And Xia Liang seemed to understand what she was thinking, and nodded with a dry smile.

So Delphinium understood what was going on: From Lin Xiaolu's understanding, her father was busy with work, but he still came back to her home every night, so she chose to wait for "myself" at home. .

This also means that I must go back now.

Taking a deep breath, and then exhaling slowly, she said after a long silence: "...I may need to leave for a while, and I may not be back tonight."

After saying this, she pointed to the plastic shopping bag in Xia Liang's hand: "It may take trouble for you to pack these things into the kitchen, thank you for your hard work."

"Is Mom angry?" Seeing her tense expression, Bai Jingxuan asked in a low voice, "Shouldn't we tell this?"

"You two, you think too much at such a young age, things may not be that complicated."

Stretching out her hand to rub her head, Delphinium's tone slowed down: "Don't worry too much, I'm not angry, and I didn't intend to quarrel, but I do have some things to do."

"So, junior, do you know what's going on?"

Xia Liang pretended to be ignorant, but in fact asked a little pointedly: "Uncle Lin and Sister Hong are together, and even go shopping together, isn't it true that the relationship has developed?"

Delphinium couldn't help but glared at her.

"From my current standpoint, the answer I gave is unreliable and meaningless, right?"

In the end, she still sighed helplessly: "But the answer I can give is no."

Seeing that the two girls still had expressions of disbelief, and she didn't want to continue entanglement on this topic, she waved her hand: "In short, I can tell you with certainty: I, Chao Yan, and... Lin Yun haven't changed each other. The meaning of the relationship, whether it is closer or more distant, is not something that will be considered at this stage."

"Then are you coming back tonight?"

Xia Liang put down the bag in his hand, smiling: "Is the evening study session cancelled?"

"Cancelled, but I have already put the scheduled exercises in the study."

She knew what was going on in her mind, but delphinium didn't want to waste any time on this matter, but walked towards the gate without looking back: "Baimei wants to do her own things and can't participate, so you Just finish writing the corresponding exercises by yourself, and I will come back tomorrow to make corrections."

"Eh? Do you have to write questions like this!" Xia Liang suddenly wailed.

"After all, your mind seems a little impetuous."

After changing her shoes in the entrance, Delphinium turned her head and glanced at her: "Study hard, don't worry about adults' affairs, children."

Just like that, leaving Xia Liang's "unfair" cries behind him, the delphinium walked out of the secret base, found a deserted space, and flew straight into the air.She chose to rush back to her home by flight, so as not to waste time on the road.

Traveling all the way through the night sky, the delphinium arrived near the apartment in just a few minutes.But this time, because she wanted to maintain her position as an ordinary person, she had to make a special trip to change back to Lin Yun's appearance, and then take the elevator back honestly.

When my apartment is put aside on weekdays, there will be hourly workers to clean it on time, so even if Lin Yun seldom goes back recently, the home should be kept moderately tidy, so that Lin Xiaolu won't notice anything.

In the elevator, facing the reflection of the elevator door, Lin Yun tidied up his clothes to make sure that he didn't look dusty, then Lin Yun put on a nonchalant face and returned to his home naturally.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a chair.

For some reason, this chair was placed directly in front of the door of the living room, with the front facing outside, and Lin Xiaolu was sitting on the chair, with a small blackboard of unknown purpose standing beside her.With his head down, wearing a headset, he stared at his mobile phone with all his heart.

Lin Yun took a casual glance and found that she was playing a game.

"Cough cough."

Clearing his throat, he said, "Lulu, what are you doing?"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xiaolu raised her head following the sound.Seeing her father standing at the door looking at her, she subconsciously wanted to turn off the game in her hand, but because of uncoordinated movements in a haste, she touched the volume button and turned the volume to the maximum.

The loud music accompanied by the shouts of the game characters immediately came from Lin Xiaolu's ears, even standing in Lin Yun's position, she could hear it clearly.

Shrinking her neck almost instinctively, Lin Xiaolu quickly pulled off the earphones, and after a long time of panic, she recalled where the volume keys on the phone were.After turning off the sound, she turned off the phone again, put it in her coat pocket, adjusted her sitting posture, restrained her expression and put on a serious expression... Only then did all the preparations have been completed, and she resumed her work. Sitting there upright.

Lin Yun watched the whole process unfolding in front of him, he couldn't help laughing for a moment, but he still tried to keep calm, glanced at the small blackboard next to him, and asked as if he didn't see anything: "Why did you suddenly remember to go home today?"

Lin Xiaolu didn't say anything, just sat on the chair and looked at him seriously.

"...What's wrong?" Lin Yun had to ask again patiently.

"I saw!"

Lin Xiaolu said suddenly: "You are shopping with that woman!"

"See?"

Lin Yun pretended to only know about it, as if he was really surprised and said, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't hide it. I saw it with my own eyes. You were chatting and laughing with that woman in a shopping plaza near the Bureau of Different Strategies!"

Stretching out a finger, Lin Xiaolu suddenly pointed at Lin Yun, and said loudly, "It's not okay to step on two boats!"

When she uttered these words, she could say that she was serious and serious, with a menacing attitude, as if she was coming to ask the teacher for a crime.If it is something else, it may really make people feel the atmosphere is solemn.

It's a pity that what she said was completely wild speculation in Lin Yun's view.What's even more regrettable is that after saying this, before Lin Yun could answer, Lin Xiaolu's stomach started to groan.

"Grumbling..."

In the hallway where there were only two people, the voice was particularly clear and piercing, and the source of the voice was so obvious that Lin Xiaolu's finger that had just been stretched out suddenly bent down.

Looking at the inexplicably distressed daughter, Lin Yun sighed helplessly: "It's past eight o'clock, have you not eaten?"

"Don't, don't change the subject!"

With one hand retracted to cover her stomach, Lin Xiaolu's ears became hot: "What I'm talking about is your half-hearted thing!"

"Have you eaten at noon?" Lin Yun untied the tie on his chest and walked towards the restaurant.

Following Lin Yun's gaze, Lin Xiaolu subconsciously said, "I didn't eat much... No, I'm not talking about that!"

Lin Yun took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of a chair in the dining room: "There are usually no fresh ingredients at home, but I just bought some food today. Do you want meat for dinner?"

"Eating meat... It's eight o'clock, forget it." Lin Xiaolu thought about it.

"It's only eight o'clock. It's good to eat some meat."

While talking, Lin Yun took out two fresh-keeping boxes used to pack meat: "It feels like you haven't grown much in the past month."

"It's not what I thought. My body doesn't grow by itself."

Lin Xiaolu muttered and stood up from the seat, followed by the kitchen: "I don't need to eat meat anymore, I have lost weight recently."

"Losing weight? You only have a few ounces of meat, and you are as thin as a sprout."

Lin Yun washed his hands and began to process the ingredients in the kitchen: "And you are only 14 years old, and when you are growing up, why did you suddenly think about losing weight?"

"I've eaten too much recently."

Lin Xiaolu followed to the edge of the pool with a complicated expression: "I gained four catties."

"How much?" Lin Yun turned to look at her.

"...four catties." Lin Xiaolu said this after a lot of psychological struggle, "It's great to eat in the secret base."

After taking a serious look at Lin Xiaolu, Lin Yun realized that Lin Xiaolu's face had indeed become slightly rounder these days.It's just because we get along day and night, this kind of change is too weak, which has caused this kind of change to be ignored before.

"It's okay, it's good to grow some meat."

After thinking for a while, he picked up and let go of the fresh-keeping box, but finally tore off the wrapper on the top: "Long body, it's okay."

Even if he discovered this change, he wouldn't mind his daughter getting a little fatter at all. In fact, Delphinium also adhered to this principle when cooking in the secret base.From the father's point of view, the daughter's height development problem is obviously more important.

Opening her mouth slightly, Lin Xiaolu probably realized that she couldn't convince her father on this matter, so she took out a few boxes of instant food from the refrigerator beside her: "...I'll prepare side dishes."

During the time in the secret base, she also gradually got used to helping in the kitchen.Although it is still not of much use, but I have somewhat understood what my ability can do, so naturally there is no reason to be idle at this time.

The father and daughter stood side by side by the stove in the kitchen. Lin Yun handled the meat in his hand, but still did not forget to continue talking: "So, what are you doing with a chair at the door? Do you still have to sit there and play with your phone?"

"It's not just sitting there playing with your phone."

Lin Xiaolu immediately raised her head and retorted, "I'm waiting for you there!"

"What are you waiting for me to do?"

"I want to tell you that I saw you stepping on two boats, and I want to give you a warning!"

Lin Xiaolu was serious: "You have to say it as soon as you come back, so that it can be deterrent!"

"...How did you come up with such a strange trick?" Lin Yun was a little speechless.

"I saw it on TV." Lin Xiaolu spoke plausibly.

"Okay, let's take it like this. Then what about the small blackboard, if I remember correctly, it was used during tutoring at home? Why did it move to the door?"

Lin Yun soaked the meat in water: "Throw it away if you don't want it, don't throw it there like a big piece of garbage."

"That's not throwing garbage."

Lin Xiaolu was a little dissatisfied: "I originally wanted to write a slogan on it!"

"What slogan?"

"Against the slogan of stepping on two boats, criticize severely!" Lin Xiaolu ruthlessly tore open the wrapper of the instant food box.

"... Leaving aside whether you are right or not, what about your slogan?" Lin Yun asked strangely.

"I couldn't think of anything good, so I wiped it." Lin Xiaolu said sullenly.

"Will you write after you wipe it?"

"No, I want to search the Internet to see if there is anything good."

Lin Xiaolu looked at the packing box in her hand, and her voice became smaller and smaller: "It's just that I haven't found it after searching for a long time. I suddenly remembered that I haven't finished the task of today's game."

"so?"

"Just, let's play casually." Lin Xiaolu looked away.

This finally explained clearly what she was doing at the door, but compared to the dumbfounding at the door, after knowing the truth, Lin Yun felt even more worried:
Did I give birth to a fool?
"I'm not stupid!" Lin Xiaolu immediately retorted.

"I didn't say anything." Lin Yun glanced at her and continued to process the ingredients in his hand.

"I didn't say anything because I wanted to say I was stupid!"

Lin Xiaolu was a little embarrassed: "These are just accidents!"

"Okay, okay, it's all accidents." Lin Yun nodded and admitted defeat.

"So, this is not what I want to talk about! Don't change the subject! What I want to talk about is that you went shopping with that woman!"

"Don't use impolite titles like 'that woman'. You can call her Auntie or Sister, or Senior."

Lin Yun educated: "No matter what you say, she is a senior in the magical girl industry, and she was born in Fangting City. You don't have to be so hostile to her."

"She is imitating my mother, how can I not be hostile to her?"

Lin Xiaolu glared: "And don't favor her! She imitated my mother before, don't tell me you didn't catch it!"

"...That's true, but her purpose is not bad."

"How do you know that her purpose is not bad? What if she is very gentle in front of you because she likes you, but she is actually a bad woman?"

Lin Xiaolu muttered: "Then the bad woman became my stepmother, maybe she would say 'your mother stole my man back then, now I'm going to take revenge on you', then abused me, didn't give me food, made me wear ragged clothes Chimney sweep . . . or something."

"Where do you see this?" Lin Yun asked strangely.

"On TV." Lin Xiaolu spoke plausibly.

In the future, I have to ask Xia Liang to help me watch this girl, and I can't let her watch some strange programs every day.

Lin Yun was thinking about it, but he didn't show any emotion on his face: "Our house doesn't have a chimney."

"A metaphor, a metaphor!"

"Even if it is a metaphor, there will be no such thing. I can assure you that she is not a bad person."

After a slight pause, Lin Yun said earnestly: "And I know what you mean, I miss your mother very much just like you, so I won't do anything to feel sorry for her."

"I said, I don't care if you find me a stepmother or not."

Lin Xiaolu was unhappy: "Your love life is your freedom, I'm just reminding you. But whether you plan to find a new one or not... half-hearted is not allowed."

"Where am I half-hearted?"

"Why aren't you half-hearted? You're clearly in love with Delphinium!"

Lin Xiaolu reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Yun's shirt: "Then you carried her behind your back and went shopping with that... Hong Siyu, do you want to say that you don't have extra thoughts?"

"Are you sure it's me you saw?" Lin Yun tried to make a final struggle.

"Why not, the clothes are all the same set! And Hong Siyu is the same, she even uses the form of a magical girl to seduce you!"

Lin Xiaolu stared at her eyes: "Men just like young ones, right? Once she turns young, you will fall in love with her?"

"You kid, really..."

Throwing the meat on the cutting board aside, Lin Yun took out the kitchen knife and scratched lightly on it: "First of all, I have already said that I will not do anything wrong to your mother, so I am not going to find you stepmother."

"Aren't you going to find a stepmother?"

Lin Xiaolu blinked, first thought for a while, and then showed a somewhat frightened expression: "You plan to be irresponsible, and you will end up in chaos...ah!"

"You are young, what do you know?"

Really couldn't help but slapped his daughter on the head, Lin Yun withdrew his hand and held the kitchen knife again: "Don't talk like people in TV dramas, there are not so many nonsense things in reality."

"...What's that?" Rubbing her forehead, Lin Xiaolu said sullenly, "You and Delphinium already have feelings, so are you going to leave her alone like this?"

"That's the second."

Lin Yun sighed: "Who told you that delphinium and I are in a relationship and plan to get married?"

"……mousse."

As soon as Lin Xiaolu's answer came out, Lin Yun almost choked on his own saliva. It took a long time to adjust his breathing, but he still forced himself to pretend to be calm: "Who is that?"

"Bad guy." Lin Xiaolu gave him a sideways glance, "It's the guy on the night of the full moon festival."

"……Oh."

Knowing his identity, he shouldn't comment on it, Lin Yun pretended to be nonchalant and continued: "So what? A bad guy told you, and then you believed it?"

"She told Delphinium that! And it's obviously well-documented!"

Lin Xiaolu's voice became louder: "That night, Delphinium originally said she would not return to Fangting City, but she came back suddenly. Didn't you inform her?"

"Where did you hear that?"

"I saw it myself, you were not in the room that night!" Lin Xiaolu said sternly.

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Yun was stunned.

It wasn't until this moment that he finally understood the doubt that had lasted for a month, and knew where he had gone wrong.

Lin Xiaolu was completely led astray because she hurried out on the night of the full moon festival without considering the possibility of her whereabouts being exposed, and because Mousse babbled a lot of nonsense based on her own subjective conjectures.

Thinking about it this way, when I was fighting Moss, because I didn't want to reveal redundant information, I didn't explain it clearly, and it became a disguised "default" in the eyes of the children.Many coincidences came together to lead to the current misunderstanding.

So, do I need to explain clearly?How far should I explain it?

Lin Yun was thinking in his heart, speechless for a while.

It is undoubtedly a very embarrassing thing for Lin Xiaolu to continue to misunderstand Bai Jingxuan.Especially recently, Bai Jingxuan calls delphinium "mother" every day. Although she recognizes it by herself, every time she calls delphinium, delphinium will feel a headache.

But I have to say that this also seems to be an explanation for covering up the identity of himself and Delphinium.The two identities, Lin Yun and Delphinium, have indistinct connections and contradictions in many matters, and this explanation can be used to deal with them.

However, if he really admitted this explanation himself, it would only make it more difficult for him to confess his identity to Lin Xiaolu.

Repeatedly weighing in his heart, Lin Yun's silence lasted for half a minute. Just when Lin Xiaolu thought that he had said something wrong, he spoke again:

"You are right. I did call her back that day."

"Really?"

Lin Xiaolu immediately raised the corners of her mouth: "I'll just say, as expected, you and delphinium..."

"But it's not because I have any relationship with her."

Lin Yun narrowed his eyes slightly: "The real connection between me and her is actually you."

"...Me?" Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, the reason why I can contact her is because I am your father, and she is your senior and happens to be your mother's friend."

Lin Yun nodded: "She came back not because of me, but to protect you, to protect you."

"Then, then why do you know so many things about magic..." Lin Xiaolu whispered.

"Because I'm actually a member of the Different Strategy Bureau."

Lin Yun expressionlessly made up his mind in his heart, and finally decided to put this fact on the table: "I have been an insider of the Different Policy Bureau since a long time ago, and now I have returned to work in the Different Policy Bureau .”

It's just that he slightly modified the facts, concealing the fact that he was "airborne", and instead adopted the statement that the golden green cat's eye made a false resume for him.

And this fact was obviously weighty enough for Lin Xiaolu that she forgot to speak for a while.

"You... are from the Different Strategy Bureau?"

After a long time, she said belatedly: "How is this possible? I went to your unit when I was a child, and it is not a different policy bureau at all..."

"Because I was just a non-staff member in the past, and I registered to assist your mother's operations."

Now that he had started to lie, Lin Yun simply said nonsense: "Later, something happened to the director of the Bureau of Different Strategies, and my qualifications happened to be sufficient, so I returned to the Bureau of Different Strategies a few days ago, and now I am the current director."

"...Director?"

This word obviously made Lin Xiaolu even more confused, because she had never seen such a big official in her life.

"Dad, are you the Director of the Different Strategy Bureau?"

Then, she let out a deafening exclamation.

"Keep your voice down, do you want the neighbors to hear?" Lin Yun quickly covered her mouth with his hand, "This is not something that can be said casually outside!"

"But, it's not... Bureau of Different Strategies, Director?"

Lin Xiaolu was a little dizzy and said: "I'm actually the second generation of officials?"

"No, you're not, our family has no rights, I'm just me, and you're just you."

Lin Yun tapped on the cutting board: "And I think you have to figure out that the identity of a magical girl is actually more important than the position in the Bureau of Different Strategies..."

——"That's why you know I'm a magical girl?" However, Lin Xiaolu interrupted him first.

"That's right." Lin Yun simply followed this logic and continued to write down, "I am a member of the Bureau of Different Strategies, that's why Hong Siyu came to me the first time and told you about things related to you."

"So, that's why you've been ignoring what I'm doing?"

"Yes, because even the secret base where you live now is also a venue provided by our Bureau of Different Strategies."

"During the few days when I thought I was hiding from you, you actually knew my movements clearly?" Lin Xiaolu asked with a complicated expression.

"It's not that clear, but I know you're fighting for the city."

Lin Yun was vague: "I don't have such a serious desire to control, and I don't always pay attention to what you are doing."

"But you are the director, why does our family still have no money?"

Lin Xiaolu was a little puzzled: "Shouldn't you be able to drive a luxury car and live in a villa just by accepting a little bribe?"

"Your father, I am a clean official, and I don't accept bribes."

Couldn't help but patted his daughter's head again, Lin Yun educated: "Pay special attention to your news, and give the green light to your activities is already considered to be using my private power. How can I do something like accepting bribes."

"...Co-authoring is like this."

Lin Xiaolu sighed suddenly: "I thought..."

"What do you think it is?" Lin Yun squinted at her.

"I thought you were in love with Delphinium, so Delphinium told you all these things."

For some reason, after the brief shock passed, Lin Xiaolu seemed a little disappointed: "So it's because you are in the Bureau of Different Strategies."

"It's better to say that it's because I'm in the Bureau of Different Strategies that I'm in contact with your senior Delphinium and Hong Siyu."

After cutting the ingredients, Lin Yun lit the stove and began to add oil to the pot: "Including what you saw this afternoon, it was indeed me, but it wasn't because I was flirting with someone, but to accompany Hongsi and go Choose clothes."

"Isn't choosing clothes ambiguous?" Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened.

"Workplace attire, don't think about it, just communicate with friends normally."

Lin Yun looked away with some guilt: "In short, there is no other meaning in it."

"So that woman is really Hong Siyu, not her daughter or niece?" Lin Xiaolu continued to ask.

"Yes, that is indeed her."

Lin Yun nodded; "You can ask her or the delphinium for the specific reason, but this is indeed what she looks like after she regains her magical girl power."

Lin Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. I thought about the worst situation before. What if it's your illegitimate daughter?"

She patted herself on the chest: "If there is an extra sister out of thin air, then I don't know how to get along with her."

Lin Yun raised her hand, Lin Xiaolu subconsciously dodged to the side, but found that there was no knock on the forehead, but a palm spread out in front of her.

"Salt." Lin Yun said concisely.

"Oh." Only then did Lin Xiaolu realize that she was still helping in the kitchen, and picked up the salt bag from the shelf beside her.

"All in all, the relationship between me and Delphinium, and Hong Siyu is not what you think."

After taking the bag of salt, comparing it gently with a spoon, and throwing it into the pot, Lin Yun concluded: "These are all necessary for work. In fact, whether I or delphinium, many things are for your consideration. Stop guessing."

"But……"

Lin Xiaolu hesitated again: "If you really have nothing to do with each other, why should delphinium think about me?"

"...Because she is your senior."

After thinking for a while, Lin Yun replied: "The relationship between the magical girl's junior and senior will last for ten years without any changes. The relationship of comrades-in-arms for such a long time is often better than relatives and friends."

In fact, this answer should not be given by him, because the matter is related to magical girls, and he should not show too much understanding.Even if he confesses the fact that he is currently working in the Bureau of Different Strategies, "Magic Girl" is the main dividing line between his identity and Delphinium's identity, so it should be bypassed.

It's just that the words have reached this point tonight, and the most important thing is to explain things clearly and resolve misunderstandings.That's why Lin Yun chose to speak out after thinking about it.

Of course, this is only a superficial reason.Although it seems to be so reasonable to say it in a high-sounding manner, it is actually not very convincing.

From Lin Xiaolu's expression alone, it can be seen that she is not very satisfied with this answer.

In fact, Lin Xiaolu was not unaware of Delphinium's previous preference, rather, it was precisely because Bai Jingxuan distracted Delphinium's attention these days that she gradually realized that she was favored before.

It's just that, even though Delphinium has repeatedly explained the source of this preference, she doesn't think it's because of herself.

In her subconscious mind, she still feels that this preference comes from the shadow of her parents.Among them, there may be the influence of his mother as a teammate, and it is also because of the unusual relationship between Delphinium and his father.

But now, his father told himself very bluntly that it was not because of these, and that there was no lover or love relationship between him and Delphinium.

This not only means that her previous conjectures are all wrong, but also means that she has said all these wrong conjectures, and even expressed them directly in front of Delphinium herself, and started calling people "Mom" without shame... …

If it was really her thinking that was wrong, then Lin Xiaolu couldn't help curling her toes just thinking about it.

But, she thought so, but, if these are all wrong, what is the real answer?

The preference I feel is not an illusion, and my father and delphinium have denied that there is a deeper connection between them. Which side should I believe?
Is it because there is another answer besides this opposite fact?
She was destined to not be able to get other answers from Lin Yun, so after dinner and helping to clean up the dishes, Lin Xiaolu fell into deep thought alone.

She thought about taking a bath, thinking about brushing her teeth, thinking about changing her clothes, thinking about lying down on the bed.

Then she thought about turning on the phone, thinking about clicking on the game on the phone, and thinking about finding the game character named "Shucao" that should be based on her mother.

"When I asked Delphinium, she also said it was because of me."

Recalling the conversation on a certain night in summer, Lin Xiaolu murmured: "What's so special about me? I'm not talented, my personality is not good, I'm not cuter than Xia Liang and the others, and I can't even compare her in studies... "

"Mom, what is the relationship between you and Delphinium?"

"If it really has nothing to do with Dad, then what was the reason for the dream that night? Why did I dream that the delphinium was hugging me when I was a child?"

It is impossible for the virtual character on the screen to answer her question.

Even if Lin Xiaolu turned on the voices of the game characters over and over again, she could only hear some innocuous greetings and battle-related shouts.

In her gradually chaotic thinking, she finally gave up on continuing to think about this issue, and started to play other game levels instead.

In recent days, her gaze has finally gradually moved away from "Dawn Grass", and turned to other characters in the game, and began to train other magical girls.

In the process of developing the game characters, the personal plot stories belonging to the characters are occasionally triggered, which symbolizes the deeper friendship between the characters in the game and the "fairy" played by the player.

Just like that, Lin Xiaolu casually clicked on a personal plot of a character in the game, and flipped through it at a glance. Just when she felt that the story was rather boring and wanted to fast-forward, she was suddenly drawn to one of the plots. force.

The reason is that the two magical girls in the story had a misunderstanding. One of them mistakenly believed that the other had a hobby of homosexuality, so there was a ridiculous conversation.

Minor banter and jokes related to homosexuality are not very important plots.It itself is only mixed in the story as a simple adjustment, but in Lin Xiaolu's eyes, it seems to be the only key to the door lock.

It was such a completely insignificant plot that suddenly opened up all her thoughts, allowing her to connect all the questions together at that moment and get a brand new answer.

Yeah, why didn't I think of it before.

She stared blankly at the screen, recalling that brand new answer, the turmoil in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time.

——The delphinium likes it, why can't it be my mother?
