A misty mist fills the bathroom, and steaming heat swirls under the heating lamp. Lin Xiaolu scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on her face, leaning on the bathtub, her expression gradually changed from sluggish to relaxed.

After a pause, her dilated pupils regained her divine light, and she slowly buried her face in the hot water, and the bubbles spit out of her mouth rose to the surface of the water with a "popping" sound.

It was still afternoon, but it was approaching the afternoon, and Lin Xiaolu was cleaning the dirt caused by the battle in his bathroom.

After several rounds of bubbles with body wash, several rounds of rinsing, and several rounds of combing and rinsing her hair, she sat down in the tub and soothed her nerves.

There is no doubt that today's battle with the remnants of the beast is full of problems and accidents, but it also brings a lot of gains.

In addition to gaining combat and cooperation experience, he also gained some insight into the rare remnant beast of the Cavity Type. At least after such a battle, Lin Xiaolu felt that she had indeed learned something.

Delphinium's teaching methods have been successful.

The respect for Delphinium in her heart increased a little more, and Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but close her eyes, fantasizing about the day when she would become an ideal magical girl under the guidance of Delphinium.

Presumably, at that time, I must have been mature, cold, strong, and beautiful......

The daydream in his head made Lin Xiaolu smile involuntarily, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were raised, and he was obviously in a good mood.

- "Are you done soaking?" ”

"Wow!" The sudden voice from his ears startled Lin Xiaolu.

turned her head and saw Xia Liang, who was wrapped in a bath towel, standing next to the bathtub, looking at her with a smile.

Her wet black hair was still stained with some moisture, apparently fresh out of the shower next to her.

"No, no."

Raising her face from the water, Lin Xiaolu said disgustedly: "If you are willing to let you come in and take a shower while I am bathing, it is already considered merciful." After the shower, go out and wait by yourself, this is my house, I will not give you the bathtub. ”

"Uh-huh, but I've been doused with dirty water, and I want to get in the bath as soon as possible."

Xia Liang said as he moved closer to the bathtub: "Why don't you let me in and squeeze in?" I don't mind, huh? ”

"I mind! It's squeezing to death! You're disgusting! ”

Stretching out his hand to stop the edge of the bathtub, Lin Xiaolu directly refused three times: "Do you really know what the difference between host and guest is?" Don't take an inch, okay? ”

"So please?" Xia Liang clasped his hands together, squeezed his eyes and pleaded.

"It's useless to lower your attitude! Hurry up and get out! ”

"I'll stretch."

"Don't come here, and don't come in without permission! They all said goodbye—"

The noise in the bathroom is getting louder and louder, although I can't hear the specific content clearly, but Lin Xiaolu's babbling sound can be heard even in the living room.

The delphinium leaned on her legs and sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the object in her hand.

It was a half-mutilated piece of green disc-shaped metal, so corroded that it was so pitted that it was impossible to see its original appearance.

When she was about to leave the battlefield, she found the object from the remains of the remnant beast, and because she thought it was unusual, she brought it back.

Staring at the disc, she always felt that this thing seemed a bit like a ...... Valve?

Why do crippled beasts have such things in their stomachs?

Feeling as if he had grasped some clue, some dormant memories in his mind were awakened, and the delphinium simply leaned back, leaning on the back of the sofa and thinking with her head held high.

- Click.

The bathroom door not far away was suddenly opened, and the noise that had been vague until then became distinct.

"Hurry up—get me out!" Lin Xiaolu's angry voice followed.

"Yikes! Don't push so hard, the bath towel will be ripped off by you! ”

Then came Xia Liang's voice.

Lin Xiaolu didn't care what she said, and pushed Xia Liang out of the door: "You're so annoying!" ”

Syllable!

Then, the bathroom door was slammed shut.

Xia Liang, who was left outside the door, had no choice but to wrap himself in a bath towel and walk out of the bathroom, then passed by the living room and met the eyes of the delphinium with his head up.

is different from when we first met a few days ago, and now there is a big difference in the image of Xia Liang.

The highlights on the original bangs were washed off at some point, and the tips of the slightly curly hair were also permed back to straight hair. Without the modification of light makeup, the youthful facial features are also completely revealed, and it can be clearly seen that he is just a junior high school student.

If Xia Liang's image at that time in Electric Street was a fancy and fashionable girl, then Xia Liang, who is smiling lightly now, will only make people feel that he is a well-behaved and quiet good child.

Delphinch's originally somewhat sloppy eyes gradually gathered, and looked at Xia Liang's dress with only a bath towel, paused for a while, and proposed:

"Why don't you go find a bathrobe and put it on?"

"Huh? Seems like it can? ”

Xia Liang happily accepted, and soon encountered a new problem: "But is there a bathrobe here?" ”

"Clean bathrobes put on ......"

Delphinium subconsciously wanted to answer, but remembered that she was not Lin Yun now. Although she is in her own home, she can't reveal the identity of her owner, and she is just a guest like Xia Liang on the surface.

So she quietly changed her words: "If there is a storage cabinet at the bathroom door, maybe it will be placed in the cabinet?" You can also ask Bai Mei. ”

"White Rose? Oh, hmph, then I'll ask her again. ”

I don't know why Xia Liang is so keen on provoking Lin Xiaolu, and after realizing that there is another reason to harass Lin Xiaolu, he immediately walked back to the bathroom with a chuckle.

Probably because of the poke it will make it as angry as a small animal? Feeling fun?

Speculating from the personalities of the two people, Delphinium can come up with such an answer.

She didn't mind Xia Liang's obviously unmalicious provocation, as long as it wasn't hatred, it was just a joke of young people.

It's just that, looking at Xia Liang's back gradually moving away, his development is obviously a little ahead of his peers, which makes Delphinium have some worries about Lin Xiaolu that only parents have.

My daughter won't be a short man in the future, right?

Although the 14-year-old is still full of hope, there are still many years for Lin Xiaolu to catch up and achieve a counterattack, but now there is really no sign at all.

It stands to reason that as Lin Xiaolu's parents, Lin Yun and Anya's height is not only superior, but also above average. As a father, Lin Yun is more than 1.8 meters tall, and Anya, as a mother, is also close to 1.7 meters tall. Lin Xiaolu has no reason to be shorter than her peers, but her current height is far below the average line of 1.43 meters.

Why, exactly?

The delphinium set aside the broken disc in her hand, stood up in silence, and walked in the direction of the kitchen.

She tiptoed to rinse her hands by the sink, then opened the sterilizer and pulled out a few teacups.

Skillfully arranging the teacups side by side and sprinkling the tea leaves, she pressed herself on her toes, expressionlessly allowing herself to jump a little higher, then picked up the thermos and poured boiling water into it.

It is expected that Lin Xiaolu's character will not think of making tea for guests, so this kind of thing can only be done by her.
