Chapter 53 Lin Xiaolu gave up thinking
Lin Xiaolu did not listen carefully to the conversation between Hong Si and Lin Yun.
Because, at that moment, her mind was blank.
The conversation between the two was just a few words like "junior" and "get along well" that reached her ears, but it did not arouse any reaction from her.
She had no recollection of what she was doing at that time. She seemed to just be standing there blankly. After seeing Hong Siyu leave, she got into the elevator as if she was escaping and ran back home.
The fact that her father knew the contact person of Delphinium was such a huge shock to her that she didn't know what she was worried about for a moment.
Did he already know that she was a magical girl? If her father already knew that she was a magical girl, wouldn't her lies these days be a joke? Did the woman named Hong Siyu suddenly come to visit her home, was it really just because of Cui Que's request? Since he knew the woman named Hong Siyu, what was their relationship? There was even a question that she was most reluctant to think about, which was: Did Cui Que also know her father?
All the possibilities made her feel confused when she thought about them.
In fact, she always had a vague doubt, that is, was Delphinium too gentle and caring towards her?
She had not thought about it seriously before, and even actively ignored it, because she subconsciously hoped that Delphinium's concern was simply because she was optimistic and liked her.
Delphinium is the perfect magical girl in her mind, just like a virtual character from an animation, satisfying all her beautiful yearnings for magical girls. She admires and respects Delphinium from the bottom of her heart, so she hopes that she is also special to Delphinium.
But she couldn't convince herself. Why did she get the attention of Delphinium?
It was obvious that in terms of strength, she could only stand behind Cuique and serve as a background; in terms of talent, Xia Liang was better than her; in terms of personality, she also knew that her insincere words and deeds were not pleasing.
Why would such a perfect magical girl need to be so special to herself?
It was not until today, when she saw the conversation between her father and Hong Si, that she realized that this question actually had an answer.
If his father really knew Delphinium, then Delphinium's intentional care was most likely just a request from his father, just a favor between adults.
This situation is not uncommon in schools. Students whose families have connections may receive more attention and advice from teachers. It is almost a semi-transparent thing.
However, as an ordinary father, what kind of reward can I give to make Delphinium care about me?
If we think more extreme, is it possible that Delphinium has a deeper connection with her father? She always emphasizes that she is an adult. Is this also a hint that she may have a closer relationship with her father? Will they...
Lin Xiaolu didn't want to think about it any further. There were too many possibilities and she couldn't delve deeper.
She only knew that because of this state of mind, she was a little absent-minded the whole night.
Even after she received a message from Cuiqiao in the newly created group, informing her to go to Xia Liang's house to attend a study session, Lin Xiaolu still couldn't get rid of these messy thoughts.
Xia Liang's comfort, with a hint of worry, failed to calm her down.
As the night deepened, she also didn't hear a word when Delphinium explained the questions to her in a cold voice under the light.
She really wanted to ask right here, to ask whether Delphinium knew her father, and whether her concern for her was just out of human affection. But she was also afraid that if she got a positive answer, this beautiful scene would no longer exist.
Even if she was so distracted and still couldn't get the point of a question after being explained several times, Kuei-Ching would still repeatedly and patiently explain the idea of the question to her in order to make her understand. Such beautiful and illusory tenderness made Lin Xiaolu even more reluctant to break this dream.
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Wait until something happens.
She developed this ostrich mentality at the table.
Just pretend you don’t know what to do and continue to hypnotize yourself and enjoy the present moment.
Lin Xiaolu gave up looking for answers.
However, a few days later, when Lin Xiaolu thought she had successfully forgotten it all, another incident pulled her out of her state of self-deception.
——She found that her father was actually taking care of his clothes and grooming.
It's not about dressing up meticulously like you would when going to work on weekdays; it's about dressing up from a real aesthetic point of view.
He found a casual shirt from his closet that he hadn't worn for a long time and paired it with a summer-style silk-wool-linen suit jacket. He used the bottles of men's skin care products that he hadn't touched for a long time to clean his face, and went to the barber shop to get a haircut, which made his whole mental outlook look a lot younger.
Lin Yun's appearance was not bad to begin with, and after taking some serious care of himself, his evenly-proportioned tall physique, coupled with a handsome face with a hint of vicissitudes of life and maturity, exudes the demeanor of a gentleman.
This kind of behavior is not a problem for ordinary people, but it is quite strange for Lin Yun, who has almost no leisure life, and it even makes Lin Xiaolu feel like a bolt from the blue.
"No, no... this is really abnormal."
The next morning, Lin Xiaolu lowered her head and covered her head with her hands, looking stunned and said, "This is definitely not something he would normally do."
"Haha, even if you say so..." Xia Liang on the side laughed dryly.
In the past two days, she was also troubled by Lin Xiaolu's frightening mental state. She was relieved to see that she was getting better, but she didn't expect that her condition would become even more abnormal today. She could only reluctantly comfort her: "Maybe your father just has an invitation for a special occasion next time?"
"Him? An invitation?"
Raising her head from her depression, Lin Xiaolu stared with bloodshot eyes: "What kind of occasion can make a man over 35 dress so coquettishly?"
"Well... maybe, attending someone else's wedding?" Xia Liang tried hard to play dumb.
"It's an affair, it's an affair!"
Patting the sofa next to her, Lin Xiaolu said loudly: "It means he is going on a date with a woman!"
"I think your father's situation is a bit of an affair..."
Xia Liang felt like his face was almost frozen from laughing: "And there's no evidence that he wants to find a stepmother for you, right?"
"If he wants to find it, then he can find it. I don't care about that."
Lin Xiaolu puffed up her lips and complained, "I just don't want him to date that woman named Hong Siyu. That guy doesn't look very serious at first glance."
Moreover, there is another possibility that she did not say.
What if, what if, the person he was dating was not Hong Siyu, but... what should he do? When he thought of this possibility, the restless emotions that had been suppressed would continue to surge, swallowing up Lin Xiaolu's remaining rationality.
"No! I have to find out what's going on!"
She suddenly pulled herself together and stood up: "Moko!"
"Huh?" Mo Ke, whose name was called by her, had no idea what was going on and answered in a daze.
"When the day comes that he really goes out privately, you come and help me!"
Lin Xiaolu clenched her fists and shouted, "I'm going to follow them!"
