Chapter 167 A Stranger's Confession
——"Lin Xiaolu! I like you! Can you be my girlfriend?"
Xizhao Middle School, outside the playground, next to the audience seats.
In mid-November, the weather gradually turns cooler, and even at noon when the sun is shining brightly, it does not feel too hot.
Because it was lunch break, there were not many students on the playground, only some energetic students were playing football on the grass. But their attention was focused on the fun in front of them, and no one noticed the corner of the audience.
It was in such a place that Lin Xiaolu received a confession from a boy in the same class.
This was the first time she had received a confession from the opposite sex since she entered junior high school.
She was originally wondering why this boy suddenly called her to the playground, but she didn't expect that after meeting him and just taking two steps with him, she heard such heavy words.
The other party's extremely direct and explicit expression made Lin Xiaolu's heart beat faster.
Not because of shyness, but because of fear.
"W-what are you talking about! What do you mean by 'girl, girl'... Aren't you ashamed to say such things?!"
She took two steps back in panic, questioning loudly at first, but then realized that it was not appropriate to say this out loud, so she lowered her voice slightly: "This is puppy love! This is not okay!"
"…Puppy love?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiaolu's answer was this. The boy, who was originally quite nervous, couldn't help but asked blankly: "But we are all junior high school students?"
"The teacher said that it's too early for us to fall in love at this age!"
Lin Xiaolu shook her head repeatedly: "No! I can't fall in love too early!"
“Ah, this…”
Before confessing, the boy had actually thought about what to do if he was rejected, but he never thought that he was rejected for this reason. After thinking for a while, he decided to stick to the original plan and said, "Well, instead of being boyfriend and girlfriend, how about getting to know each other first, going on dates and hanging out together?"
"Dating together?" Lin Xiaolu raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, I know some interesting shopping streets. I can take you there."
The boy hesitated and said, "Choose a time when you are free? I can treat you."
"Well...it's your treat."
Lin Xiaolu folded her arms and thought for a moment, but finally shook her head: "No, I don't have the time."
As an active magical girl, Lin Xiaolu has to patrol the city in addition to going to school. Compared with her peers, she does not have much free time.
She would rather spend her extra free time playing with her friends in the secret base than going out with relatively unfamiliar boys.
However, she couldn't say these considerations, as her identity as a magical girl was still a secret to the outside world. This made the boy in front of her particularly frustrated.
"You can't even go out... Do you hate me?" he couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"I don't really hate it, but I certainly don't like it either."
Lin Xiaolu lowered her eyelids slightly and shook her hand at the other party: "Anyway, I am against premature love, so no!"
After saying this, she turned around without hesitation, and walked quickly back to the classroom regardless of the boy's calls from behind.
The classroom was relatively quiet during lunch break, as many students were lying on their desks or leaning on their chairs to rest. During break time, only a few students were whispering, creating a dull "buzzing" sound.
Walking back to her seat, Lin Xiaolu pulled open the bench and just sat down when she noticed that the girl in the front seat suddenly turned around and looked at her:
"How is it? Did you accept the confession?"
The girl sitting in the seat in front of her was named Jiang Yuan. She was a slightly plump, introverted girl wearing glasses.
If we were to choose the most unsociable girl in Class 3, Grade 2, it would probably be Lin Xiaolu; if we were to choose the second least sociable girl, it would undoubtedly be Jiang Yuan.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the two were isolated by the girls in the same class. In fact, most of the girls in Class 3 were quite friendly, and many of them treated Lin Xiaolu as a younger sister because of her relatively petite and cute appearance. It can be said that if Lin Xiaolu was willing to open her heart to make friends, it would not be difficult.
The reason why Lin Xiaolu is alone most of the time is actually because she is used to being alone.
This is also the reason why Lin Xiaolu only received her first confession today: she did not give others the chance to understand her at all.
Although there were some boys who noticed Lin Xiaolu because of her appearance, most boys of this age were shy. Since Lin Xiaolu kept to herself, there was no chance for boys to approach her and talk to her.
When it comes to Lin Xiaolu's lack of sociability, it can be said that it is because of her somewhat awkward personality; when it comes to Jiang Yuan's lack of sociability, it is simply because it is difficult for others to communicate with her. Everyone who tries to chat with Jiang Yuan will fall into the dilemma of not getting a response at the beginning: in Jiang Yuan's own words, she can't even make a sound when facing unfamiliar people.
However, these two people who don't get along with each other became people who can communicate with each other after they became the front and back seats.
I don't know who started it, but the two of them started talking to each other during a break one day, and their conversations gradually increased from then on, and finally developed to what they are today.
"No, why would I accept the confession of someone I don't even know?"
Lin Xiaolu opened her schoolbag and said unhappily, "Besides, we shouldn't be dating at our age. This is puppy love, which is even worse!"
"Rejected? Well done! That's the way it should be!"
Jiang Yuan nodded: "What's the good of dating? Just reject those boys!"
"Why do I feel like you care about this more than I do."
Taking out the books for the afternoon class from her schoolbag, Lin Xiaolu looked at her in confusion: "What's wrong? Do you like that boy?"
"ha?"
Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly rose half an octave. After realizing that she might disturb others, she lowered her voice again: "How is that possible? If I want to fall in love, wouldn't that be a betrayal of our unsociable alliance?"
"What is the League of Misfits..."
Lin Xiaolu lowered her eyelids slightly: "I don't remember joining such an organization at all."
"Anyway, if you fall in love, our alliance will be broken! Don't become such a frivolous woman!"
Jiang Yuan concluded the topic and took out her phone from the side: "Since you refused, it means we are still friends. Did you play the mobile game I recommended to you yesterday?"
"game?"
Lin Xiaolu was slightly stunned when she heard this, and after a while she suddenly remembered what the other party said: after school yesterday, Jiang Yuan seemed to have recommended a mobile game to her.
It's just that at that time, Lin Xiaolu was obsessed with going on patrol, and her mind was not on the conversation with Jiang Yuan at all. She didn't even remember the name of the game.
"What's it called?"
So she could only bite the bullet and say, "I didn't find it when I got home yesterday, so I haven't played it yet..."
"Really? How could it be impossible not to search for it? This is the most popular mobile game recently!"
Jiang Yuan said with some dissatisfaction, showing her mobile phone screen: "Look, it's called this name, search it again and see."
Knowing that she was in the wrong, even though she was not very interested, Lin Xiaolu had to concentrate and look at the phone in Jiang Yuan's hand to identify what game the other party was talking about.
Then, she saw a fancy icon: the top part was two crossed magic wands, one white and one black, and below the magic wands was a cartoon girl's sketch made up of lines, which made people feel very cute at first glance. And below the icon was the name of the game: "Magical Girls Squadron".
