Chapter 44: Sleeping Together
In the steaming water, one hand fumbled in the white mist and grabbed the faucet of the shower and turned off the hot water.
The delphinium stepped out of the shower, wiped the water stains off her body, untied her hair, and looked into the mirror in the bathroom.
In the mirror, a girl with long blue hair also stares at her expressionlessly, her well-proportioned and slender limbs looking as fragile as a doll.
This seems to be the first time he has bathed with this body since his comeback, Delphinium thought to herself.
When she first became a magical girl when she was young, she occasionally needed to clean this body, and she would always close her eyes and wash it 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 will not even dare to look at it for a long time.
It's been a long time, and now, when I look at this child-like body after being married for many years, I don't have any distractions in my heart.
It's better to say that love moves with things, in her eyes now, the transformation state of a magical girl is no different from a weapon. This body was both a weapon and an armor, to her it was like a soldier's armor, and it looked weak and beautiful in appearance.
It's just that the power of magic is enough to make time stand still in the magical girl, and 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 indulge in this emotion, the delphinium closed her eyes and staggered her gaze from herself in the mirror, not thinking much more.
After putting on the clothes prepared by Xia Liang, rolling up her long sleeves and trouser legs, she walked out of the bathroom and saw Xia Liang who was rummaging through the pillow in the closet.
"I'll help." She proposed, and the two of them got busy together.
Xia Liang's room only had a small single bed, so for the sake of sleep quality, she decided to use her parents' master bedroom.
In her words, "it's empty anyway, and it's good to be able to entertain guests."
It took about ten minutes to set up the bed, put the extra things back into the cabinet, and looked at the bed in front of him, Delphinium looked a little complicated.
Although she is just a little girl on the outside, no matter what, she is essentially an adult man. Next, she was asked to lie in bed with a girl who had only known each other for a month and was about the same age as her daughter, and the moral pressure made her feel heavy.
During this time, Xia Liang didn't know when he had returned to his room with his slippers, and returned with the pillow on his bed, standing by the bed, looking at Delphinium expectantly.
Things can be said to be on the bow, only one kick is missing, and refusing to refuse will only hurt this child.
I was entangled in my heart, but in the end I couldn't say half a sentence, and Delphia could only sigh: "Then turn off the light and go to sleep." ”
"Hmm!"
Xia Liang, who had been waiting for a long time, responded happily.
Closing the door of the master bedroom and turning off the roof light, Delphinium and Xia Liang got into the quilt and lay on the bed.
Because there are many concerns in his heart, Delphinium deliberately keeps a distance from Xia Liang to ensure that there will be no easy physical contact between the two.
It's not that she will have any thoughts about Xia Liang, in fact, in the face of such a child, she can'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 retain basic etiquette.
It's a pity that she thinks so, but Xia Liang doesn't think so.
Lying on Xia Liang's side with his back for a while, Delphinium didn't even cover the pillow under her head, she felt a pair of hands stretching out from behind her back, and then hugged herself.
"Ah, sure enough, it's soft and fragrant when you hug it, it feels better than a pillow......" Xia Liang's voice came from behind her.
Delphinium was surrounded by her two hands, her face was a little stiff, and she gently pushed it twice with her hand but to no avail, so she could only ask helplessly: "Can you let go?" ”
"Don't." Xia Liang's answer was also very simple.
"Don't you feel cramped to sleep like this?"
"This is a rare opportunity to sleep with my little senior, and I will hold it until my arm is sore."
“…… Wayward is overdone. ”
"After all, it was you who asked for it, and I am such a willful child tonight." Xia Liang replied in her ear.
Hearing such an answer, he knew that there was no room for negotiation, and Delphinium could only close his eyes and sigh: "I regret it a little now, I feel that it is really a trouble." ”
"Hehe, the little senior feels very similar to Xiaolu in this regard." Xia Liang behind him didn't care, but laughed quietly.
"Where?" Delphinium asked back.
"Hard mouth and soft heart." Xia Liang commented, "The words are hard to hear, but the actions are often the opposite. ”
"I'm going to get out of bed."
"Don't." Saying this, Xia Liang's hand holding the delphinium tightened a little.
couldn't help but sigh again, Delphia honestly let Xia Liang hug her for a while, and found that the girl behind her still didn't seem to be asleep, so she asked again:
"Tonight's talk is about your parents...... Need to tell Bai Mei? ”
"No, you don't."
"Why?"
"If you say it like that, with Xiaolu's character, you may start to sympathize with me."
Xia Liang whispered: "I don't want to make the relationship between each other strange because of 'sympathy', I want to have a good relationship with Xiaolu and become real friends." If there is an element of 'sympathy' mixed in this relationship, I will feel very unhappy. ”
"Tell me it's fine?"
"Hehe, after all, the juniors are mature adults, right?"
Saying this, Xia Liang paused slightly, as if to confirm it, he asked Delfinch, "Is it okay to think like this?" ”
"It's okay if you like it, your own family affairs, whether you want to say it or not are your freedom." The delphinium closed her eyes, and her tone gradually softened.
But as she said this, she suddenly felt her shoulders become a little wet.
Silent, turning her head slightly, she saw Xia Liang 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.
Why she cried at such a time was something that Delphinium couldn't understand, she could only feel that Xia Liang didn't want her to be punctured, so she closed her eyes again as if she didn't know anything, and let Xia Liang hold her.
"Thank you, junior."
After a while, Xia Liang's somewhat astringent voice came from behind him again.
She knew that it was actually very inappropriate for her to shed tears at such a time, but someone needed her for a long time, and someone had listened to her for a long time, and even took the initiative to tell her that she could be "willful". With so many "long-awaited" gathered together, she only felt as if she was in a sweet dream again.
"Nothing." To this, the delphinium only responded lightly. Because she knows that at this time, it is appropriate to accept it indifferently.
"Little senior."
"Huh?"
"I'll do my best for the certification card assessment."
Lowering his voice, Xia Liang's words revealed a certain determination: "I also have to work hard to become stronger, and then one day, I will also stand by your side." ”
The delphinch's breath was slightly choked.
“…… You will, you can. Then, she encouraged Xia Liang in a cold but soft voice.
After saying this, she seemed to remember something, and then said with a little hesitation: "But since I mentioned this matter, I just made a decision, but I don't know what you think." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Next time, the study will be arranged at your home."
Delphinium was still leaning back to her when she said this, so in the dark, Xia Liang couldn't see Delphinch's expression clearly at this time.
However, she knew what her expression was like.
Burying her face behind the delphinch, she was overjoyed, trying to restrain the corners of her mouth, and then replied in a whisper:
"Well, I'm honored, really."
