Xia Liang often thinks about whether her daily life is really what she wants.

Spend time in school, laugh and laugh with those "friends" who have a bad reputation in school, and go to the so-called "Internet celebrity resort" to check in after school. Then, go home alone and praise life as if life is quite full on social media.

Is she happy? Probably.

Shouldn't she be happy after learning to put on makeup, learning how to dress, learning to be fashionable, making friends, and becoming the focus of the boys' attention?

It's just that she often feels that the smile on her face doesn't belong to her. The more smiling and welcoming you are, the more cynical you are, the more difficult the hollowness in your heart becomes.

I want to fill that void, so I crave attention and recognition.

She knew that her "friends" didn't like her.

They will feel that they have lost their color by standing with them, they will feel that they have robbed them of the attention they deserve, and more importantly, they cannot be considered "their own people".

The reason is also very simple, Xia Liang is reluctant to participate in the "part-time job".

No matter how they bragged and agitated, Xia Liang was always reluctant to go. She felt that a real friend shouldn't be like that.

But this insistence is corroded over time.

If you accept "part-time work", will your "friends" accept you more?

If you accept a "part-time job", can you find a more intimate relationship?

After such an idea was born, Xia Liang's attitude became less resolute.

So today, after school, after getting an invitation from a "friend", she finally figured it out.

So be it.

She agreed.

Follow the "friends" to the Electric Street and go to what they call the "meeting place".

Giving up meaningless persistence and reserve, giving up those unnecessary bottom lines and fantasies, she can pursue a more practical and real love.

She felt ready and determined.

— but she saw a cat.

A pink, flying cat.

followed by a ponytailed girl who looked a little petite and wore the same school uniform as herself, sneakily following behind her group.

What's going on?

Xia Liang was born with a strong curiosity, which made her unable not to pay attention to her.

What's more, when she saw the pink cat, she always felt like she was called by something and wanted to get closer.

At that moment, a voice appeared in her heart, telling her that she should go over, that she should find the pink cat, that she could get something important to her.

So she stopped in the middle of the street.

She walked in the middle of the group, so when she stopped, the girl who was traveling with her immediately noticed her unusual move, and asked her with some confusion, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xia Liang looked at her, and for a while didn't know if he should say it, saying that he saw a flying pink cat and wanted to go over there to have a look.

She noticed that the girl who walked in the forefront, who was also the center of their small circle, also turned her head and looked at her with some inexplicable eyes.

"I ......"

She hesitated to speak, but slowly made up her mind in the process: "I suddenly have something to do, and I may have to leave first today." ”

Then he laughed, showed a slightly sorry expression, waved his hand, and said to the others, "Have fun!" ”

With that, he trotted away.

"Xiao Liang."

The girl in front of her called out to her at this time.

She held her mobile phone, her fingers with long manicures tapping quickly on the screen, and her eyes didn't look at Xia Liang at all: "If you leave today, don't come back in the future." ”

Xia Liang's footsteps paused.

She turned around and looked at the girl, then slowly turned her head to look to the side at her "friends."

Maybe she hoped that everyone at this time was laughing, scolding, ignoring her, and letting her go with the same frivolous attitude as ever.

Only this time, everyone looked at her with a somewhat strange look.

No, it wasn't a strange look, she knew it, she was very familiar with it, she used to see such a look in her home every day, and she wouldn't admit it.

- This kind of look is called indifference.

I may not be able to fit in with them.

It wasn't until this moment that Xia Liang realized this reality.

No matter how you force a smile or flatter you, you can't be a person with them, and you can't be their companion from the beginning.

The strange call in the distance was still strong, as if it was calling her to hurry up.

The crack, which she tried to cover up and ignore on weekdays, formed a deep ravine at this time, separating her from the girls in front of her.

Xia Liang finally put away the smile that had been hanging on his face on weekdays, and looked at his "friends" as seriously, and nodded:

"Okay."

Without superfluous words, he turned around again, without looking back, and walked away quickly.

What she didn't expect was that this sentence, ten minutes later, would take her to the rooftop of the tall building.

Kneeling on the ground, his heart pounding, and listening to the girl named "Delphinium" in front of him say what seemed like imagination.

"Magical girl?"

She'd heard it, and she knew what a magical girl was.

Magical Girl is a profession that often appears in children's animations, often representing love and justice, fighting all sorts of villains.

At the same time, the magical girl is also the guardian of this world, fighting against the remnants of the beasts that appear in the city from time to time, and is a real warrior.

Perhaps, magical girls are also a dream of thousands of girls when they were young, even if they know that they need to face dangerous battles, they still yearn for themselves who shine in gorgeous clothes.

But for the general public, magical girls are too distant and mysterious.

If it was usual, Xia Liang heard someone tell her that she was a magical girl, she would probably take that person as a liar, or take this sentence as a joke, and change the topic with a haha.

But now it's different, I was grabbed by the girl in front of me just now, and I experienced the feeling of flying.

Whether it is the other party's abrupt change of clothes, the ability to ascend to heaven out of thin air, or the abnormal flickering particles when the two of them act, none of them are telling Xia Liang that he has met the real thing.

"So, what did the magical girl do with me?"

She had never even been on a plane in her previous life, and the first flight experience in her life was actually grabbed by someone and taken to the sky, which was really too big for her heart, so that she was now in a trance.

So she can only follow the other party's logic to ask questions, and there is no reason to refute it.

Then, she heard a sentence that made her even more trance-like:

"Do you want to be a magical girl?"

When a magical girl?

Can I be a magical girl?

Xia Liang didn't even think about this question.

She's just an ordinary girl who has never been cared about, who has never really been noticed, and she has never felt that she can be such a special being.

Even the days and nights that she relied on fantasies and prayers to spend her days and nights, she never thought that she could become a magical girl.

The word was so shiny that it made her feel like she would burn if she got close.

"Ah, it's really, it's hard to find a talented person, why is this kind of frivolous girl!"

Not far away, Lin Xiaolu, whose clothes had turned into a light blue dress and her hair had turned into a golden double tail, looked angry: "I don't want to be a companion with this kind of person at all!" ”

“…… Don't be willful, White Rose. ”

Delphinium glanced at her: "This kid's talent may be very strong, and it will be an effective help." ”

"But ......"

Lin Xiaolu was stunned when she heard this, and looked at Delphina with some grievance: "Her frivolous appearance doesn't look like a magical girl at all-"

- "I'm going to be." ”

Xia Liang suddenly spoke.

Accustomed to the discomfort of flying up suddenly, she had already stood up and was now walking to the rooftop.

In fact, she had already made a choice from the moment she said goodbye to her "friends" and chose to follow her inner guidance.

She glanced at Lin Xiaolu, raised her hand, grabbed her earlobe, rubbed it for a while, and then let it go, there were already two more shiny objects in her hand, and then with a wave, she directly threw the thing in her hand directly to the ground.

She took out her mobile phone again, clicked along the address book, selected more than a dozen names together, brought up the editing interface, and after a pause in her fingers, she resolutely clicked "delete".

"I've decided, if everything you're saying is true, it doesn't matter if it's all there, and it's okay to discard it."

Putting down the phone, she smiled, her eyes flashed with a certain expectation, and her shoulder-length black hair was swept by the wind on the rooftop:

"But anyway, I'm going to be a magical girl!"
