Chapter 64 Night Talk (Part 1)
After Xia Liang and I finished studying the purpose of the magic suit, it was almost midnight. The three of us parted ways in the open space and each set out on the journey back to our own home.
Delphinium slowly left the clearing and looked into the distance. Just as she found a relatively secluded spot and was about to take off from there and fly back home, she found that there was someone following her.
It’s Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu stood beside her with her head down, looking hesitant and hesitant, obviously wanting to say something.
"What's wrong?" Delphinium asked directly.
Lin Xiaolu raised her eyes to look at her, then lowered her eyes again, "Delphinium."
When she called her code name, Delphinium turned around and looked at her seriously to show that she was listening.
"I heard about it a few days ago, about my mother."
Lin Xiaolu didn't look at Kuizi at all, and whispered, "She is actually a magical girl too, right?"
"Um."
"And we used to be teammates."
"Yes."
Cuique did not hide any of these questions, because she knew that Lin Xiaolu had such doubts because she showed her the old photo a few days ago.
Whether to tell Lin Xiaolu that "Delphinium" knew Anya was actually something he had seriously considered. After all, there was no doubt that this would make the identity of Delphinium associated with Lin Yun in Lin Xiaolu's cognition.
Although she had no reason to realize that the two were the same person, the risk was still increased.
But Cuiqiao also knew that she couldn't deceive Lin Xiaolu with two identities for her whole life. As she spent more and more time with her daughter, one day, Lin Xiaolu would realize that "Lin Yun" and "Cuiqiao" had never appeared together.
In fact, she didn't like the feeling of deceiving her daughter, but given the father-daughter relationship before and now, the identity of "Delphinium" was still necessary.
There were many questions that she couldn't answer in detail when she was Lin Yun, but as Cuiqiao, she didn't mind saying a little more.
At this moment, seeing that her daughter did have questions about the photo, she felt that she had an obligation to answer them properly.
After getting a positive answer from Delphinium, Lin Xiaolu continued to ask: "So, what kind of magical girl is my mother?"
"Your mother..."
What kind of magical girl is Anya? Delphinium couldn't help but start to recall this incident.
From her point of view, powerful, upright, shining... these many beautiful words can be placed on Anya, because she is indeed an excellent magical girl with a kind heart.
However, if one had to choose one most prominent quality, none of these words would be comprehensive enough.
There is a more appropriate word to describe Anya.
"Maybe, I'm optimistic." Thinking of this, Delphinium said softly.
"Optimistic?" Lin Xiaolu was a little confused.
This was not the answer she expected. After all, the word sounded too ordinary and didn't even sound like it was describing a magical girl.
“No matter how strong the enemy is, she never despairs. No matter what kind of difficulties she faces, she never gives up. No matter what kind of blow she suffers, she never sinks. She is probably such a person.”
In response to Lin Xiaolu's doubts, Cuiqiao explained: "Although she may not be the strongest or the wisest person, and sometimes you may even think that she is a fool who only knows how to laugh. But her emotions can always infect you, making you feel that things are not at the end of the road yet, and everything can still turn around. As long as she is here, there is still hope."
This answer made Lin Xiaolu somewhat fascinated.
But what followed was a lingering sense of inferiority in my heart:
"In that case, my mother must be a magical girl who is very popular with others, right?"
"As far as the facts are concerned, that's right." Delphinium did not hesitate to answer and nodded simply.
"Well, are you a little disappointed now?" Lin Xiaolu suddenly asked.
"Hmm?" The change of topic made Delphinium a little uncomfortable.
"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, because Cuiqiao, you actually came to Fangting because of my mother's matter, right?"
Lin Xiaolu pinched the corner of her clothes unconsciously: "Then, compared with my mother, I should disappoint you."
"You think so?" Her thoughts made Delphinium frown as well.
"I don't really want to think about it...but I also feel that there is no other possibility."
Lin Xiaolu's voice was a little dry: "I know what kind of person my mother is. In fact, I can imagine that if she were a magical girl, such a warm personality would definitely be very popular with everyone."
"In comparison, I have poor talent and a bad personality. I don't know how to please people like Xia Liang, and I always make embarrassing requests. It's really annoying, isn't it?" "Then, seeing how different I am from my mother, do you feel a big gap? In the final analysis, if it weren't for this relationship, what advantages do I have that make you focus on me?"
Delphinium moved closer to Lin Xiaolu.
She tried to see the expression on her daughter's face when she said these words, but Lin Xiaolu turned her head away and stated in a self-centered manner:
"I heard from that woman named Hong Siyu that you, the Inspector of Cuiqiao, are actually a big shot in the magic kingdom, right? And it seems that you came to Fangting City only to investigate the disappearance of Senior Mo Ke. In the end, you found out that I am useless, and you have to waste your energy on me like this every day. This is too unfair to you."
There was a hint of doubt in Delphinium's cold voice: "You mean, you hope I will just ignore you?"
"No, that's not it!"
Lin Xiaolu raised her head quickly and explained in a panic: "I'm not chasing you away. How could I think that? I really hope you can stay here, but now..."
"Do you feel that you are not worthy of this now?" Delphinium followed her thinking and helped her summarize.
"Well, you can say that." Lin Xiaolu answered hesitantly.
"If I tell you now that this is not the case, you will think I am just comforting you, right?"
"……Um."
Lin Xiaolu's soft reply blended into the night sky.
Seeing her answer like this, Cuique knew that her daughter was indeed lacking in self-identity and even felt inferior, so she was in a very depressed mood.
This depressed mood was actually very obvious in these days. After all, Lin Xiaolu was not a child who was good at hiding her emotions.
Delphinium had been wanting to find an opportunity to talk to her, and now it seemed that this was the moment she had been waiting for, so she took the opportunity to suggest, "Then, do you want to take a walk together?"
"Take a walk at this time? What are you going to do?" Lin Xiaolu was a little confused.
“Let’s talk about other topics while we walk.
Cuiqiao turned sideways and pointed to the road ahead, signaling Lin Xiaolu to go with him: "For example, now that you know your mother's identity, do you have any other ideas?"
