Chapter 124: Before the Festival
Bang!
The abrupt knocking sound sounded in the originally quiet living room, making Lin Xiaolu, who was holding a rag in his hand, raise his head.
"What's that?"
Looking around on the glass in front of him with doubts, Lin Xiaolu finally went up to the window and saw a pool of black dirt. When I looked closely, it was actually a bug that had crashed into the glass.
"Ah, really, it's disgusting!"
A little grumbling, she climbed onto the windowsill with her hands and feet, and pulled open the protective bolt of the window. With her feet padded and her head held high, she reached out of the window with the rag and tried to wipe the stains off the window.
It's just that as soon as she put her hand out of the window, the soles of her feet suddenly slipped, and her whole body suddenly fell back from the window.
"Wow!"
The short exclamation did not last, because a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind and helped Lin Xiaolu, who was about to fall to the ground, up.
- "Be careful, Sister Lu. ”
The person who came said so: "If you can't reach it, you can actually transform." ”
Lin Xiaolu blinked, raised her head and went back, only to see Bai Jingxuan standing behind her, looking at herself with some concern.
"Hmm......"
It took her a long time to get rid of the fear of almost falling, and she was depressed for a while, before she organized her language and stood up pretending not to care: "It's okay, it's okay!" Anyway, it's nothing to fall from this height.,Always rely on the ability of a magical girl.,You can't grow as a human being! ”
"Is that really the case......
Letting go of her hand and taking a few steps back, Bai Jingxuan looked at Lin Xiaolu with some suspicion: "However, I think even if I learn to tiptoe and clean the window, I won't get any substantial growth." ”
"It's not labor if you don't have to exert your body!"
Lin Xiaolu raised his index finger and said thoughtfully: "And I read the book that you can grow taller by tiptoeing and jumping a lot!" ”
Her remarks made Bai Jingxuan short of words for a while.
After being speechless for a long time, she first looked at Lin Xiaolu's size, and then thought of herself, and couldn't think of any words that were suitable for the present in her mind for a while.
After a moment's pause, she hesitated to speak, with an encouraging smile:
"Well, that makes sense!"
"It's too late to say something like this after being silent for so long!"
Lin Xiaolu covered her forehead and sighed, and lowered her head as if surrendering: "Forget it, let's not talk about this." ”
"Ah, how do you say that...... I don't think you can see the problem of height development until adulthood. ”
Seeing that her mood was instantly depressed, Bai Jingxuan hurriedly tried to comfort her: "Look, as the saying goes, doesn't it all say 'eighteen changes in women', and height is also included in it!" ”
"I don't want to be comforted by elementary school students who are about the same height as me! And the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and I am running to the age of fifteen, and I will soon have no chance! ”
Lin Xiaolu said a little frantically: "I'm obviously drinking milk, I'm also exercising, and I've slept enough for 8 hours, why!" ”
"Xia Liang, that guy is taller than me, what's the matter with you? Eating hormones? ”
"I'm a short ...... in the courtyard," Bai Jingxuan explained in a low voice.
"Hmm!"
As the so-called lies don't hurt people, the truth is a quick knife, and her explanation made Lin Xiaolu's unfinished words choke in her throat.
There was no way to vent the stirring emotions, the more Lin Xiaolu thought about it, the more angry she became, and finally she could only pick up the rag from the ground, and said viciously to the insects stuck on it: "It's all your fault!" Make me so ugly! ”
God is pitiful, this dead insect probably never thought that he could carry the black pot like this.
"Bugs? Did you hit a window? ”
Bai Jingxuan turned her head to look at the rag in Lin Xiaolu's hand, and asked suspiciously, "Is there one here?" ”
"'Also there'?"
Her words attracted Lin Xiaolu's attention, making her turn her gaze: "You also met?" ”
"Well, there's a moth that hits the kitchen window."
Bai Jingxuan looked back at the kitchen and said crisply: "Probably attracted by the light in the room, right?" ”
As if to reflect what she said, a flying insect flew around the light in the living room, occasionally hitting the shell of the living room lamp, making a slight noise.
Both girls were attracted to the flying insect, and watched the flying insect together until they saw it give up hitting the lampshade and fly away.
“…… Speaking of which, there have been more bugs these days. Even though the weather is getting cooler and entering autumn, you can always find clothes moths on the walls of the house, are they running in to keep warm? ”
"Is there something broken in the kitchen?"
"It's impossible, we've only been moving here for a month and a half, how can any food rot so quickly."
Lin Xiaolu crossed her waist with one hand, lowered her head and pondered: "It looks like I have to find something to repel insects." ”
"Try mothballs, shall you?"
Bai Jingxuan suggested: "I remember that the teacher prepared a lot of cleaning supplies in the warehouse. ”
"Teacher...... ? ”
Sitting down along the windowsill with some boredom, Lin Xiaolu sighed: "Delphinium has been gone for almost half a month, when will I come back." ”
"Sister, did you ask the teacher in the group before?"
"I've asked, but what I'm asking is whether she will come back on the full moon festival."
"I remember the teacher saying she wasn't coming back?"
“…… Oh, yes. ”
Lin Xiaolu stared at the floor and subconsciously kicked twice: "She said that her work is not over and she will not come back." ”
This is the answer that Lin Xiaolu got from the information two days ago.
She also sent a message to both her father and the delphinium, asking them about the full moon festival.
The end result was that Delphinium said that she would not come back, and let her spend it with her family; Lin Yun told her that he would come back for the holidays.
This is indeed an answer that is somewhat unexpected by Lin Xiaolu.
Originally, she was actually a little embarrassed, thinking about how she should arrange her itinerary if both of them came back during the holiday.
This is a tradition in Donghua Prefecture, and the Full Moon Festival is a festival for family members to get together, and in most cases, being with one's blood relatives is the highest priority. If Delphinium and her father both return to Fangting City for the holidays, she may need to celebrate at the secret base before going home to spend the holiday with her father. Even if she actually wants to celebrate with her companions at the secret base.
Now the problem has become simpler, if the delphinium does not come back, she naturally has only the option of going home for the holidays.
"It's a little bit of a pity." Bai Jingxuan said in a low voice.
"Who's to say it isn't?"
Lin Xiaolu agreed: "But you should be the most regrettable, after all, the prepared surprise will be delayed again." ”
Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang regard this secret base as half a family, if Delphinium doesn't come back and Lin Xiaolu goes back to her own house, their full moon festival will indeed be a lot more deserted.
"No, it's not a surprise or anything, I just want to wait for the teacher to come back and tell her ......"
Bai Jingxuan waved her hand a little panicked: "After all, this kind of thing, what you say on the phone is indeed a bit too serious." ”
"What's there? It's not a bad thing. ”
Lin Xiaolu sighed: "You have surpassed me, a senior who became a magical girl two months earlier, and awakened your magic costume first, so be a little more confident." ”
"Sister Xiaolu......"
The sorrow in her tone made Bai Jingxuan a little overwhelmed: "Did I make you feel unhappy?" ”
"Not happy?"
Looking at Bai Jingxuan, Lin Xiaolu squinted her eyes and supported her chin: "How can you be happy?" After nearly five months of being a magical girl, she is still a species, and the elementary school students who served later than herself have mastered magic costumes, how happy can I be? ”
"This, I ......" Bai Jingxuan opened her mouth, not knowing what words of comfort she could say for a while.
The two were silent and speechless.
- "Poof, what, your expression! ”
Lin Xiaolu saw her reaction in her eyes, and after a while, she laughed and pinched Bai Jingxuan's cheek: "I'm not such a stingy person, I won't hate you because of this matter, don't be so sad, as if I'm bullying you." ”
"It's true that I'm unhappy, but it's because I feel like I'm too bad to have anything to do with you."
"But Sister Xiaolu is not bad at all."
Pinched by Lin Xiaolu's face, Bai Jingxuan said a little seriously: "I think you are very powerful." ”
"It's all said, it's not nice to be comforted by elementary school students."
Reluctantly letting go of her hand, Lin Xiaolu grinned and said, "It's better to say that when I think of my current situation, my frustration becomes stronger." ”
"But I ......"
Bai Jingxuan tried to persuade her to say anything, but her words were soon interrupted by the sound at the entrance.
Touch!
With the crisp sound of the door closing, two light greetings reached the ears of the two: "I'm back!" "I'll be back!"
It was none other than Xia Liang and Moke.
I saw Xia Liang wearing casual clothes, with flashing studs on his ears, dressed quite fashionably, and walked into the house with a large bag of plastic bags in his hands: "Which of you can help me get something?" It's too heavy! ”
"Ah, yes!"
Bai Jingxuan immediately greeted her, and Lin Xiaolu followed behind with Shi Shiran, and after seeing Xia Liang, she immediately put away the little smile on her face.
"What's that look on your face?"
Xia Liang followed Bai Jingxuan into the living room, and when he saw Lin Xiaolu's stinky face as always, he said a little inexplicably: "Aunt is here?" ”
"What are you talking about, you are the eldest aunt! I'm just in a bad mood! ”
Retorting angrily, Lin Xiaolu greeted Xia Liang with a rag: "What are you doing?" How did it take so long to buy something? ”
"This ......"
Hearing this, Xia Liang smiled happily: "I just met two classmates in the mall, and after giving them some suggestions, we chatted and had lunch together." ”
"Huh-"
Lin Xiaolu said quietly: "You just left the two of us at home to do chores and went to be a courtesan by yourself?" ”
"What is a chore, it's obvious that you guess boxing with me, and say that whoever guesses loses will go grocery shopping."
Xia Liang also puffed out with some dissatisfaction: "I haven't forgotten the smug face when some people guessed to win, and now I'm starting to regret it?" ”
