Chapter 11: Lin Xiaolu's Determination
So, that's the explanation you gave? You're talking about this kind of stuff these days? β
The next night, in the living room of the secret base. Under the bright light, Delphinium clasped her hands and said angrily: "You came to a conclusion so arbitrarily, and then turned your head and talked nonsense to Bo Xue?" Why don't you say I'm your own mother? β
"Huh? Is there still such a possibility? Lin Xiaolu was stunned.
"Huh?" Delphinium snorted.
"Woo......"
Warned again by Delfinium, Lin Xiaolu had no choice but to sit on the sofa with her head down, and said with a depressed face: "Okay, I was wrong." β
Just now, she was counted down by the delphinium without appreciation.
Delphinch first asked Lin Xiaolu seriously: Why can he come to such an outrageous conclusion. After listening to Lin Xiaolu's description of his own thoughts, he refuted several logical loopholes very mercilessly, so that Lin Xiaolu couldn't refute it at all, and even embarrassed.
It sounds like what Delphinium said makes sense, but could it really be that I was mistaken? That's too embarrassing.
Lin Xiaolu thought with a sad face.
And when she was being trained here, the other two girls were also sitting aside, Bai Jingxuan was looking at her nose and nose, and she lowered her gaze as if she was a little weak; Xia Liang covered his mouth, his shoulders kept shrugging, as if he was about to burst into laughter in the next second.
"The one over there, don't gloat."
Noticing Xia Liang's movements, Delphinium glanced at her and raised her chin slightly: "You are obviously different from them, why are you messing around with these two children?" β
"I'm older than her." Lin Xiaolu muttered quietly.
"I didn't ask you." The delphinium rubbed it on the door of her head.
So Lin Xiaolu closed her mouth a little aggrieved.
"Nonsense? No, I don't. β
On the other side, Xia Liang opened his mouth with a smile, his eyes innocent: "I think Xiaolu's guess is quite reasonable, I was persuaded by her." β
"You were persuaded by her?" The delphinch's cold, clear voice fluctuated slightly.
"Isn't it? Little senior, are you shy? β
Xia Liang's face was full of innocence, as if he was completely unaware of it, and looked at Delphinch: "I don't think it's necessary, we all support you and your uncle in pursuing their own happiness - it hurts!" β
Before she could finish speaking, she had a burst of chestnuts on her head, and immediately swallowed back the few syllables that had not been finished.
"You are now an accomplice with Bai Mei, sit down."
Delphinch withdrew her hand and pointed to the empty seat next to Lin Xiaolu: "I want to talk to you today." β
"Ah...... I was knocked unconscious, and I needed hugs and comfort to get up and walk. Xia Liang didn't stand up and move his position, but sat down on the sofa, covering his forehead weakly.
"You still want to eat it?" Delphinium crossed her hands on her hips.
"Oh."
So Xia Liang honestly sat next to Lin Xiaolu.
After training Xia Liang, Delphinium finally moved her gaze to Bai Jingxuan, looking at the girl who was sitting there like a helpless little animal.
As if noticing Delfinch's gaze, Bai Jingxuan buried her head deeper.
Only she knew that her problem was not only to spread rumors, but also to go to the Bureau of Alien Strategies to make a lot of trouble, which caused a lot of trouble to the director and others.
Now that Delphinch knew what she had told the Director's Uncle that day, there was no reason not to know how she had cheated in the Alien Bureau.
Thinking of this, Bai Jingxuan didn't dare to raise her head and look at Delphinium at all.
Seeing the child's performance, Delphinium's originally depressed mood became more complicated, and she couldn't help but feel a headache about it, and then sighed wordlessly.
She really couldn't figure out what to do with Bai Jingxuan, because of the other party's somewhat delicate psychological state, she didn't even want to say anything about reprimanding, for fear of stimulating this child somewhere.
And the slightly long silence of the delphinch attracted the attention of Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, and the two of them looked at the delphinium and Bai Jingxuan with some suspicion, and also felt the subtle atmosphere.
"You...... Don't follow the two seniors to learn badly. β
After being silent for a long time, the delphinium held back this sentence from her mouth: "Let's reflect on it." β
- "Huh? That's it! Eccentricity! β
"It's not fair, it's not fair! No to differential treatment! β
Seeing that Delphinch's attitude towards Bai Jingxuan had softened significantly, the words she said were not reprimands, but more like comfort. The two girls on the side suddenly quarreled with dissatisfaction.
Having expected their reactions, Delphinium glanced back at them and said lightly, "Do you also think you are 11-year-olds?" β
"Hmm......" Lin Xiaolu hates being treated as a child by others the most, so she was silent after hearing this.
"If the junior approves, I can be." Xia Liang didn't care about these at all, and straightened his chest quite confidently.
With the most obvious arc among the four, her chest-raising action immediately attracted Lin Xiaolu's attention on the side, making Lin Xiaolu's eyes widen slightly.
When she heard Xia Liang's words, she connected with the scene in front of her, and somehow, the thoughts in her heart suddenly turned into words and blurted out: "Why are you 11 years old?" β
"Why can't I be 11?" Xia Liang's eyes widened.
"Precocious women still want to pretend to be tender! Don't say it's 11 years old, some people believe it if you say you're 15 years old! Lin Xiaolu accused sharply.
"Oh, you're jealous?"
Lin Xiaolu's words suddenly made Xia Liang smile and squint his eyes slightly: "Indeed, after all, I am not like someone, my height is about to be overtaken by a real 11-year-old." β
"Huh? What is a real 11-year-old, Xiaoxuan is obviously taller than a normal 11-year-old girl! Lin Xiaolu argued.
"So you're shorter than a normal 14." Xia Liang was complacent.
"Height is such a thing...... There is no uniform standard for this kind of thing, right? Isn't the delphinium even shorter than me! She's an adult now! Lin Xiaolu pointed to the delphinch.
"Little senior...... Well, it seems so. Xia Liang's face was embarrassed.
"Stop, you two, stop."
Seeing that the topic of the two of them was brought to him again, Delphinus stopped it in time: "Don't forget your current position, even if I am only your predecessor now, I still hope that you will have basic respect for the parties when you make mistakes." β
"Yesβ"
Xia Liang said in a long voice, but before he could be honest for two seconds, he changed his words again: "Then I have one last question, and I will kill Ren after I finish asking." β
"I'm not a brutal executioner, don't be so scary."
Delphinium frowned slightly: "Ask." β
"I want to be a ghost, little senpai, how did this get to you?"
Xia Liang held his cheeks and looked at the Delphinium with a slight inquiry in his eyes: "Xiaolu should only talk to me, Xiaoxuan and Moke." Xiaolu and I definitely won't talk nonsense, and Xiaoxuan's well-behaved child shouldn't either, could it be that Moke became a traitor? β
"That's right! Why would the delphinium know! β
Lin Xiaolu on the side realized it later, and then became furious: "Moke, this guy! He actually betrayed us for the sake of sycophants! I'm going to catch it and confront it! β
With that, he got up directly from the sofa and went to the second floor to look for Moko.
"Stop, I said stop."
Delphinium hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold her, and said helplessly: "Don't go up and make trouble for Nini, it's not Moko." β
"Not Moko?"
Lin Xiaolu's originally annoyed expression suddenly calmed down, and she blinked a little confusedly: "Who could it be?" β
Her gaze swept over Xia Liang on the side, but she saw Xia Liang shaking her head; Her gaze looked at Bai Jingxuan in the distance again, but she withdrew it without waiting for Bai Jingxuan to react; Finally, she stretched out her hand to herself, and white tiger teeth appeared between her lips that grinned in surprise: "Could it beβ"
- "Yes, it's me. β
Bai Jingxuan raised her hand and interrupted Lin Xiaolu's words.
She raised her right hand in the air to indicate her presence, and said in a small but clear voice, "I said that." β
After thinking about it, she seemed to think that such a statement was not specific enough, so she added: "I told my father that I leaked my mouth." β
This sentence made everyone's eyes focus on her.
"Dad, Dad?"
Lin Xiaolu first repeated the word with some confusion, obviously very puzzled. Because she knew that Bai Jingxuan had lived in a welfare home before, although it was cruel, it seemed that the word "Dad" should not appear in her mouth at this time.
It's just that when she gradually came back to her senses and made a reverse deduction according to her own conjecture, she quickly understood who the "father" in Bai Jingxuan's mouth was.
Because of surprise, her mouth, which she had not been able to close, suddenly opened wider: "Are you talking about Dad...... Yes? So you've all been secretly discussing this far? β
seemed to realize that this image was not good, so she quickly covered her mouth again, but the horror in her eyes was completely undiminished. She looked at the delphinium and was happy and worried in her heart: "Doesn't this mean ......?"
Delphinium didn't contradict her.
It's not that she doesn't want to refute, it's that she didn't hear what Lin Xiaolu was saying clearly at all.
Bai Jingxuan's words were no less than the impact on her in the director's office before, and this time, the lethality of saying this word in front of Lin Xiaolu was far greater than that time, so that her breathing stopped for a short time.
ββ¦β¦ Tell me again, how is it your father? β
She opened her mouth to Bai Jingxuan, trying to ask calmly as usual, but her tone was already imperceptibly out of tune.
"Because, because! When I shouted this, Dad didn't deny it! β
After plucking up the courage to speak, Bai Jingxuan's voice became a lot louder, she raised her voice, and said in a voice that everyone could hear clearly: "Dad, he accepted it!" And gently asked me who said that! So I said it! β
This time, both the volume and the content were clearly transmitted to the ears of the delphinch.
She stood there like a statue, her face still cold and indifferent, but her movements and eyes were completely stiff.
After being silent for a long time, she finally slowly turned her head to the side, her gaze moved in the direction of Lin Xiaolu, and finally, she met Lin Xiaolu's burning gaze.
"Things aren't what you think." The delphinium spoke dryly.
"I get it! I totally understand! β
Lin Xiaolu said a little excitedly: "Delphinch, you don't need to worry about my opinion, I support you!" β
"Although I don't actually want to have a stepmother, but if you have such an idea, IβI'm not completely unacceptable!"
"My mother also gave me a dream a few days ago, and she handed me over to you in the dream, I think it means that she supports you to be my mother!"
- What the hell is this girl talking about?
The corners of Delfinch's mouth twitched slightly, but she knew that excitement would not help at this time, so she continued to maintain a steady tone and said, "No, it's really not what you think, I don't have the idea of getting married at all......"
"It's because you chose to quit when you liked my dad with my mom, right?"
Lin Xiaolu wiped the corners of her eyes for some reason, and her tone was slightly choked: "I have completely figured it out, I have already understood the past things, the things of you, my mother and my father." β
"Delphinch, you and your mother used to be teammates, and you and your father were childhood sweethearts, but in the end, there was a difference in feelings. Because you were so gentle, you must have chosen to quit at that time, right? β
"You sacrificed your emotions so you chose to go to the Wizarding Realm. And because my mother died, I want to go back to the city where I used to live and protect it. β
"Because of this, I have never been married, I have always remained single, and I am obviously at this age, but I am still ...... Really, thank you. β
"Although I still have a little undeserved mustard in my heart, I think I shouldn't stop you from choosing your own happiness, I should support you!"
In the end, she was moved to hold the hand of the delphinium for some reason, and said affectionately:
"So, don't worry about what I think anymore! Feel free to pursue your own happiness! β
Seeing Lin Xiaolu holding her hand, Delphinium felt that her vision was slightly dilated.
What the hell is this girl talking about? What exactly is she trying to express? Speaking of which, is the person she is talking about a little familiar?
Her mind was full of chaotic thoughts, but she knew that it was far from the time to admit defeat, and the more critical it was, the more she should stay calm and let the rumors end to the wise.
So, how do you explain it? What kind of reason can bypass Lin Xiaolu's strange logic and re-convince her that "Lin Yun" and "Delphinch" have no emotional entanglement?
In an instant, the delphinium set off a brainstorming with only its own and began to quickly find a suitable plan and reason.
- "Xiaolu, you can't do this, little senior, it's not that she resists exposing this relationship to you." β
But before Delphinium could come up with a new statement, Xia Liang on the side suddenly spoke.
She had an empathetic smile on her face, like a pure cupid: "If you want me to say, she is actually just not ready to accept the identity of 'mother' like this." She's not ready to accept a daughter like you. β
"Accept me...... This daughter? β
As if seeing a new continent, Lin Xiaolu repeated what Xia Liang said: "Is there anything wrong with this?" β
"Of course there is."
Xia Liang put his hands behind his back and smiled on his face: "So, you have to make her feel that being your mother is not a bad thing, and it won't be a burden to her." β
Lin Xiaolu was stunned.
She understood what Xia Liang wanted to express.
She looked at the glazed Delphinium in front of her again, and subconsciously opened her mouth, but she only felt a little dry at this moment.
Her lips closed slightly, then reopened, her teeth tapping gently with her movements. Then, from her mouth came a consonant that was neither flat nor curved.
"Mom, Mom."
In this way, she took advantage of the momentum at the moment and shouted a word that she couldn't even believe.
"Mom!"
Bai Jingxuan, who was on the side, also seemed to realize something, trotted to the side of the delphinch, and shouted.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
The two girls, one older and one younger, gathered around the delphinch, shouting the same word one after the other.
Sandwiched between them, the delphinium remained silent, allowing them to repeat the most identical words of human language like children who had just learned to speak.
She didn't look at Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang, or Bai Jingxuan. Her eyes looked straight at the void in the distance, as if she had seen the vast galaxy universe, and as if she had seen an endless abyss.
Nothing is left behind.
