Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 44
In the steaming water vapor, one hand fumbled in the white mist to grab the faucet of the shower, and turned off the hot water.

Delphinium came out of the shower, wiped off the water stains on her body, untied her hair, and looked at the mirror in the bathroom.

In the mirror, a girl with long blue hair stared at her blankly, her well-proportioned and slender limbs looked as fragile as a doll.

This seems to be the first time he has bathed with this body since his comeback, Delphinium thought to himself.

When she was young and just became a magical girl, when she needed to clean her body occasionally, she would always close her eyes, blushing and finish washing as soon as possible.Even if you look at the body of the opposite sex in the mirror, you will feel quite nervous because of the restless hormones, and you don't even dare to look at it for a long time.

It has been a long time, and now, after being married for many years, looking at this childlike body, I no longer have any distracting thoughts in my heart.

It's better to say that things change with the situation. In her eyes now, the transformation state of a magical girl is no different from a weapon.This body is both a weapon and an armor. To her, it is like a soldier's armor, which looks weak and gorgeous on the outside.

However, the power of magic is enough to make time stagnate on the magical girl. Occasionally looking at the appearance in the mirror that has not changed for more than ten years, she will have a sense of dislocation in time, as if she is still in the past.

Unwilling to be immersed in such emotions, Delphinium closed her eyes, staggered her gaze from herself in the mirror, and stopped thinking about it.

After putting on the clothes Xia Liang had prepared, and rolled up the long sleeves and trousers, she walked out of the bathroom and saw Xia Liang who was rummaging through the closet for a pillow.

"Let me help," she suggested, and the two got busy together.

There is only a small single bed in Xia Liang's room, so out of sleep quality considerations, she decided to use her parents' master bedroom.

In her words, "It's empty anyway, and it's a good thing to be able to entertain guests."

It took about 10 minutes to arrange the bed neatly, and put the extra things back into the cabinet. Looking at the bed in front of him, Delphinium looked a little complicated.

Although she is just a little girl on the outside, no matter how you say it, she is essentially a grown man.Next, it took her only a month to know each other, a girl who was about the same age as her own daughter was lying on the same bed, and the ethical and moral pressure made her feel heavy.

During this period of time, Xia Liang returned to her room with her slippers on at some point, and returned with her pillow on her bed. She was standing by the bed, looking at Delphinium expectantly.

It can be said that the matter is on the line, and it is only a short shot. If you refuse, it will only hurt the child.

There were so many conflicts in his heart, but he couldn't say a single serious word in the end, delphinium could only sigh: "Then turn off the light and go to sleep."

"Ok!"

Xia Liang, who had been waiting for a long time, responded happily.

After closing the door of the master bedroom and turning off the lights on the roof, Delphinium and Xia Liang got under the quilt one after another and lay down on the bed.

Delphinium deliberately kept a distance from Xia Liang because she had a lot of worries in her heart to ensure that there would be no easy physical contact between the two.

It's not that she would have any thoughts about Xia Liang, in fact, facing such a child, she couldn't mobilize a man's thinking about the opposite sex at all.She just felt that she had to take on the responsibility of an adult and keep basic etiquette.

Unfortunately, she thought so, but Xia Liang didn't think so.

Lying on her side with her back to Xia Liang for a while, delphinium didn't even warm the pillow under her head, she felt a pair of hands stretched out from her back, and hugged herself.

"Ah, it's really soft and fragrant to hug, even better than hugging a pillow..." Xia Liang's voice came from behind her.

The delphinium was encircled by her two hands, her face was a little stiff, she pushed it lightly twice but to no avail, so she could only ask helplessly, "Can you let go?"

"No." Xia Liang's answer was also very straightforward.

"Don't you feel cramped sleeping like this?"

"This is a rare opportunity to sleep with the junior in my arms. I will hold him until my arms are sore."

"...too capricious."

"After all, it was you who requested it, senior. I am such a willful child tonight." Xia Liang replied in her ear.

Hearing such an answer, she knew that there was no room for negotiation, delphinium could only close her eyes and sigh: "I regret it a little now, I feel that I really caused trouble."

"Hey, senior looks very similar to Xiaolu in this respect." Xia Liang who was behind her didn't take it seriously, but laughed softly instead.

"Where?" Delphinium asked simply.

"Hard mouth and soft heart." Xia Liang commented, "The words are ugly, but the actions are often the opposite."

"I'm going to get out of bed."

"No." Saying so, Xia Liang's hand holding the delphinium tightened a little more.

Couldn't help but let out another sigh, delphinium just let Xia Liang hug her for a while, and found that the girl behind her still didn't seem to fall asleep, so she asked again:
"What we're talking about tonight, about your parents Do you need to tell Bai Mei?"

"Need not."

"why?"

"If you just say that, maybe Yi Xiaolu's personality will start to sympathize with me."

Xia Liang said in a low voice: "I don't want to make our relationship strange because of 'sympathy', I want to establish a good relationship with Xiaolu and become a true friend. If the element of 'sympathy' is mixed in this relationship, I will Feeling very unhappy."

"Tell me it's okay?"

"Hey, after all, the junior is a mature adult, right?"

Having said that, Xia Liang paused again, and asked delphinium as if to confirm: "Is it okay to think like this?"

"As long as you like it, you are free to talk about your own family affairs or not." Delphinium closed her eyes, her tone gradually softened.

It's just that when she said these words, she suddenly felt that her shoulders became a little wet.

Silently, she turned her head slightly, and saw Xia Liang was burying her face behind her shoulder.In the darkness, the bangs on her forehead covered her face again, so that her expression could not be seen at all.

But delphinium could probably guess that she was crying.

Delphinium couldn't understand why she shed tears at this time, she could only feel Xia Liang's feeling that she didn't want her to be exposed, she pretended not to know anything and closed her eyes again, letting Xia Liang hold her .

"Thank you, junior."

Not long after, Xia Liang's astringent voice came from behind again.

She knew that it was inappropriate for her to cry at such a time, it was just that someone needed her after a long time, and someone who had heard her talk so much for a long time even told her that she could be "willful".So many "long absences" gathered together, she just felt as if she was in a dream again.

"Nothing." To this, Delphinium only responded lightly.Because she knows that at this time, it is appropriate to accept it calmly.

"Little senior."

"Ok?"

"Certification card assessment, I will work hard."

Lowering her voice, Xia Liang's words revealed a certain determination: "I will also work hard to become stronger, and one day, I will stand by your side."

Delphinium's breath choked slightly.

"...you will, you all can." Then, she encouraged Xia Liang with a cold but soft voice.

After saying this, she seemed to remember something, and then said with some hesitation: "But since I mentioned this matter, I just made a decision, but I don't know what you think."

"what happened?"

"From next time, the study will be arranged at your home."

Delphinium was still leaning against her when she said this, so in the darkness, Xia Liang couldn't see Delphinium's expression clearly.

However, she knew what her expression was like.

Burying her face behind the delphinium's back, her heart was jumping for joy, and she tried her best to restrain the corners of her mouth, and then replied in a low voice:
"Well, I'm honored, really."
