Chapter 3: See You Tomorrow
To be honest, if it was indeed because of his fantasies that the other party crossed into this world, then he would be somewhat responsible.
"Can't go back?" Lin Wang didn't have much hope for this, and he had to go through the process.
"I don't know how to get back." Tang Xiaomian shook his head.
"Can't you use magic?"
"There is no such magic...... At least not in my world. ”
"Then we'll have to talk about something realistic."
Lin Wang sighed lightly, his gaze quickly swept over the bedroom in the distance, and turned back to her, "Where have you slept in the past two days, what have you eaten, and ...... The identity of the convenience store manager should be just an excuse, right? ”
"Well, I'm just working there."
Tang Xiaomian nodded, his face softened a little, "Except for the fact that the crossing itself is rather bad, my luck after coming to this world is actually quite good......
She paused, then continued to explain, "The night I crossed over, I saved a girl, and that girl ...... Her situation is quite special, anyway, I am living in her house for the time being, and I just started working in the convenience store she opened yesterday. ”
"She knows who you really are?" Lin Wang frowned slightly.
It is not easy for a person who does not have an "identity" to work in any regular place.
"Yes, but not completely."
Tang Xiaomian pursed her lips and smiled, "When I rescued her, I used a little magic, and afterwards I casually prevaricated with a reason of 'it is confidential and inconvenient to disclose', and she didn't ask much." ”
"Oh......" Lin Wang nodded, temporarily relieved.
There is food, shelter, and work, except that it is not very convenient to travel, and it should not be difficult for the other party to survive in this city in a short time.
So...... It seems that there is nothing to do with him anymore?
He glanced at his bedroom, feeling a little lost.
This girl is actually quite beautiful, and her age is also very appropriate......
"But I can't stay at her house all the time."
Tang Xiaomian exhaled lightly and whispered, "If I really can't go back to the original world, then I have to start thinking about how to live here in peace, huh...... I'm an outsider in her house after all, even if I can live now, but when she finds a boyfriend or gets married in the future, I can't just keep going, right? ”
"And what are you going to do?"
"Well, I don't have any ideas yet."
"Ahem......"
Lin Wang coughed lightly, straightened his face, and gently tapped the armrest of the sofa with his fingers, "I think it, since you found me, and I am the only one who knows your true identity, it is better to ......"
"I can't rely on you." Tang Xiaomian took the lead in making a statement.
"Uh......" Lin Wang's expression stiffened slightly, and he had no choice but to hold back the words he had just brewed.
The other party was unexpectedly independent, mature and sensible, but he was a little overwhelmed.
Ten years can indeed change a lot of things.
If this happened ten years ago, the two would not have had a young relationship, and it would have been difficult to end.
"I came to you today to confirm your identity...... Confirm if you can send me back. Tang Xiaomian looked at him with a complicated expression.
"It's a pity that I don't have any superpowers, I'm just an ordinary person who loves fantasy." Lin Wang had no choice but to spread his hands.
"I know, I knew it the first time I saw you."
“…… So you ran for nothing. ”
"Nope." Tang Xiaomian shook his head, "I'm still very happy to see you, at least ......"
She paused for a second, then looked away casually, "At least I finally have someone to talk to." ”
"Ah, that's good." Lin Wang smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "You can come to me anytime you need in the future, you can also find me if you just want to chat, if you have nowhere to go one day, huh...... I'll help you figure it out. ”
"Okay, thanks." Tang Xiaomian smiled politely.
At this point, the exchange between the two has almost come to an end.
Tang Xiaomian got up and said goodbye.
Lin Wang sent the person to the elevator entrance.
When parting, Lin Wang asked casually:
"You're working during the day, right?"
"Well, I'll be in the store all day."
"See you tomorrow then?"
"Tomorrow ......"
Tang Xiaomian was slightly stunned, then pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, see you tomorrow." ”
After saying that, she nodded, raised her hand to conjure a magic wand, and turned to walk into the elevator.
It can be seen that she is actually very insecure.
This may be a stress reaction to a strange place, or it may be a long-standing sense of crisis and habit.
Either way, it may be difficult for her to get out of this state for a long time to come.
Lin Wang gathered his thoughts, waved his hand at her, and waited for the elevator door to close completely before returning home.
……
After leaving the apartment building, Tang Xiaomian looked back at the floor where Lin Wang was, and raised his hand to move the magic wand to his chest.
In the next second, her figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, her vague figure quietly appeared from behind the diagonal position where she had just been, and slowly transformed from transparent to solid.
On the surface, it seemed as if she had just teleported backwards from where she was, which seemed a little inexplicable.
After doing this somewhat superfluous move, she casually put away her magic wand and walked straight away.
Compared with the confusion and entanglement when she came, her mood at this time has been much more relaxed.
Although I didn't get the answer I wanted, the result now is a blessing in misfortune.
Ten years ago, I was quite accurate in looking at people.
If you really don't have anywhere to go in the future......
Well, it shouldn't be a problem to come and stay for a while, right?
……
It was one o'clock in the morning, and the night was getting darker.
Lin Wang lay on his back on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze.
There was no girl in front of me, and a sense of unreality slowly hit my heart.
Travel, magic, otherworlds......
These words, which were originally far away from him, broke into his life without warning, and ruthlessly crushed the scientific worldview he had established over the past 20 years in an unstoppable manner.
It turns out that there really are magical girls in this world, and they are magical girls who have grown up......
Lin Wang turned over, took out his mobile phone, and opened WeChat.
Clicking into the chat interface with "Xiu~", he hesitated for two seconds and changed the name of the note at the top to "Xiaomian who can magic".
'Xiaomian is the name, so the note shouldn't be too intimate, right? ’
He explained to himself, his fingers swiping lightly across the screen, ready to send a message.
As soon as two words were typed, three messages suddenly came from the other side.
Magic Cotton: I'm home.
Magical little cotton: Good night~
Magical Cotton: [sleeping]
Lin Wang was stunned for a moment, then deleted the text in the chat box and re-edited a message.
Lin Wang: Good night.
After sending the message, he couldn't help but smile, swiped his fingers on the screen, flipped out the photo that the other party had sent earlier, absentmindedly zoomed in and out, zoomed in and out, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
If you think about it carefully, the other party's words and deeds seem to be no different from ordinary girls.
It should be easy to get along with each other in the future, right?
He put down his phone, rolled around on the bed with his eyes closed, felt no sleep, and sat up again.
"This state can just be used for the design of the plot of the liver game......
He turned his gaze to the computer desk next to him and climbed over in high spirits.
