Chapter 31 Morning Chores
"It has nothing to do with you, right?"
Lin Xiaolu turned her face away, seeming to be somewhat resistant to Lin Yun's questioning. After a while, she turned her gaze to look at him again: "And speaking of being late, aren't you the same?"
"This was just an accident." Lin Yun tied his tie and picked up the briefcase beside him. "I was busy with work until the early morning and didn't come back until the early morning. I wouldn't be like this at other times."
"Then I was also surprised."
Lin Xiaolu muttered, "I got home late to begin with and had to practice... do homework, so I just went to bed too late."
Lin Yun just looked at Lin Xiaolu like this, and Lin Xiaolu also glanced at Lin Yun. The father and daughter looked at each other in a rather awkward state for a long time, and in the end, the father's side was defeated.
"Go back and comb your hair first."
Lin Yun looked helpless. He picked up his briefcase and turned to the kitchen. "What do you want for breakfast? Instant noodles or bread? Or should I boil two eggs?"
"Ah? Breakfast?"
Lin Xiaolu raised her eyebrows, and was surprised at first, then puzzled: "It's already this late?"
"I'll drive you there later." Lin Yun took off his suit jacket and put it on the back of the chair next to the dining table.
"I don't want it, just go on your own."
"What if I'm late?"
"...If I'm late, I'm late." Lin Xiaolu felt a little guilty, but still stubborn.
Is this child planning to fly to school? Does she know that the movement of her magic power when flying is comparable to fireworks? Putting everything in his hands on the chair, Lin Yun looked at his daughter for a while and shrugged expressionlessly:
"Okay, but go and comb your hair first, and I'll boil two eggs."
"I told you not to..."
Lin Xiaolu wanted to continue to refuse, but suddenly she realized something and widened her eyes. She tightened her grip on the door frame and said in a weaker tone, "Oh, I see. I'll go, okay?"
Then he walked towards the bathroom reluctantly.
From Lin Yun's perspective, Mo Ke suddenly flew from the door to her ear and whispered a few words. Lin Xiaolu's attitude suddenly softened.
It seems that Mo Ke knows better than herself. He thought so.
This guess is correct and it is indeed the case.
"Mo Ke, what did you mean by what you said just now? What do you mean that frivolous girls can fly to school, but I can't?" After entering the bathroom, Lin Xiaolu lowered her voice and looked at Mo Ke who was floating aside with a bad face.
After finishing the magical girl class last night, Lin Xiaolu’s task was not actually over yet, because she still had homework to finish when she got home.
Usually this was just her business, but since she met Xia Liang, there was an idle figure beside her when she was busy doing her homework, who would often persuade her not to do her homework and to play games together.
Since she claimed to have run away from home and stayed at Lin Xiaolu's house that day, Xia Liang often went to have dinner with a smug look on her face. In her words, it was because the food cooked by the hourly worker Aunt Liu was better than that at home.
Judging from her attitude, if she wasn’t worried about leaving a bad impression on Lin Xiaolu’s parents, she would probably continue to sleep there.
Although Lin Xiaolu didn't like studying, she was more resistant to being associated with the "frivolous girl" she thought of, so the more Xia Liang harassed her, the more she insisted on finishing her homework. After finishing her homework, she even took out the review questions that she had not touched before, and started preparing for the upcoming final exam.
Regardless of the result, she studied until the early morning, which is commendable.
But the result was that Lin Xiaolu overslept in the morning and happened to meet Lin Yun. Now she was yawning and combing her hair in the bathroom.
"Who told you that you haven't learned how to use magic yet?"
Hearing Lin Xiaolu's slightly dissatisfied questioning, Moko's cat face vividly revealed a teasing expression: "Xiaoliang mastered it in two days, but some people can't learn it in two weeks!"
"Xiaoliang..."
The hand holding the comb subconsciously exerted force, and Lin Xiaolu looked at Mo Ke with a subtle look: "You two seem to be getting along quite well recently."
"Meow, hahaha, after all, Xiaoliang is a gentle, cute and talented kid. It's a shame that we met too late."
Mo Ke covered his chest in ecstasy: "She praised me for being smart and reliable!"
"Why do I feel like you're flattered by her sweet words?" Lin Xiaolu drooped her eyelids.
It's no wonder she thought so. After all, Xia Liang seemed to like Moko's cute appearance. He often held it like a pet and said a lot of nice things to make Moko happy.
Although Lin Xiaolu has been with Mo Ke for a longer time, ever since that night when Mo Ke admitted that he had lied to Lin Xiaolu under Delphinium's questioning, he has never received a good look from Lin Xiaolu again.
This missing love was satisfied by Xia Liang, even more than that. No wonder Mo Ke now calls her "Xiao Liang" all the time.
"This is jealousy and prejudice! As a sower, it is a must to have a good relationship with the magical girls you sign!"
Mo Ke shook his head and pointed at Lin Xiaolu, then said smugly: "Xiaolu, are you jealous? Do you feel a sense of crisis because Xiaoliang is so outstanding? Do you want me to change my mind?"
"Who are you jealous of? Are you jealous of an idiot goblin who knows nothing?"
Lin Xiaolu curled her lips and turned her gaze back to the mirror, staring at the sticking hair on her head in the mirror, her hands moving non-stop: "What's the compulsory course for sowers? They didn't teach me the basic common sense of magical girls at all, and in the end I have to trouble Delphinium."
"B-idiot goblin?"
Mo Ke shuddered upon hearing that, flew to Lin Xiaolu's back and slapped her hard with his claws: "I can't pretend I didn't hear such an outrageous statement! Besides, I have also told you a lot of knowledge, but you just don't know how magical girls practice and fight!"
"Wouldn't ordinary sowers understand?" Lin Xiaolu glanced at it sideways and asked lightly.
"Of course... Well, I understand, but my situation is rather special..." Mo Ke avoided the question.
"Because you are a fake?"
"Could you please not use such vicious words?"
"Those are the refugees who stowed away from the magical kingdom."
"Isn't this evaluation getting lower and lower?"
"When I was allowed to be a magical girl, you said I was a genius, and now you mock me for being stupid every day."
“Hmm…”
Shocked by the strong resentment in Lin Xiaolu's words, Mo Ke's attitude had to soften, and he honestly admitted: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't say such things. Don't be angry, okay?"
"A filthy goblin who rubs his face against a girl's chest when she holds him."
"You're still talking!"
"A suspected corrupt fugitive."
"This is pure slander! Xiaolu is a science idiot who failed math!"
"What the--a goblin liar who deceived a little girl!"
"A stunted, utterly shorty!"
…
In the restaurant not far away, Lin Yun took the boiled eggs out of the pot and put them into cold water with a colander. He shook his hands, took out a glass, and took out a box of milk from the refrigerator. He took the prepared breakfast and walked to the dining table. He couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of the bathroom.
Listening to the vague quarrel coming from inside, he raised his eyebrows in confusion: "...What's going on?"
