Chapter 67 Fairy and Friends
Fangting City No. 1 Social Welfare Institute is located in Lixing District and is one of the only two large welfare institutions in the city.
Many children who have lost their parents in accidents and have no one to take care of them, or elderly people who have no one to take care of them when they are old, will be brought here by the municipal government with their consent to receive relatively comprehensive care.
The welfare home covers a large area, has nearly 3,000 beds, and has 400 staff members. It has relatively favorable medical conditions, sufficient to provide rehabilitation therapy for every disabled elderly person and child.
Bai Jingxuan has lived here for three years.
In three years, she went from being ignorant to being able to reason. Most of the other children in the welfare home came and went, and were adopted by new families after a short period of living in the welfare home, but she was left here, like a defective product left over from a vegetable market.
In fact, in terms of personality, Bai Jingxuan is not a difficult child to get along with. She is very quiet and sensible. Compared with other 11-year-olds or even older children, her speech and behavior seem more mature.
In terms of appearance, she is also very cute, with fair skin, pretty features, and a chin-length bob. Because of her clothes and behavior, she seems a bit boyish, which makes her very lovable.
But the medical eye patch she wore on her left eye revealed a fact to outsiders: there was something wrong with her eye.
In fact, she was indeed missing an eye.
Not only that, she also suffers from a congenital disease that is undiagnosed and difficult to cure. The symptoms are intermittent dizziness and fatigue, and in severe cases, she may even lose control of some limbs.
This series of problems caused the couples who tried to adopt her to hesitate after learning the truth, and some even gave up directly. After a while, no one was willing to take Bai Jingxuan away.
So three years passed, and Bai Jingxuan still lived here.
Occasionally someone would ask her if she was sad, but she actually didn’t think there was anything wrong with such a life: the caregivers in the welfare home were very friendly and took good care of her; the grandparents in the home also liked her very much and would often invite her to chat with them; including the director of the welfare home, Aunt Liu, would often take care of her.
Perhaps the only drawback is that it’s a bit lonely.
In the afternoons these days, she always likes to go to the shade of the courtyard alone and read quietly there.
This was a habit she had never had before. In the past, she would not go to such a secluded place alone. She would rather go to a more lively place. No matter who she was with, chatting for a few words would make her feel more fulfilled.
The reason she did this now was because she had a little secret.
Or to be more specific, she has a new friend.
——"Xiaoxuan! I'm here!"
Accompanied by the call from above her head, Bai Jingxuan met the person she had been waiting for on this appointed afternoon.
So she put down the book in her hand, looked around to make sure no one saw her, then secretly waved to her "friend" above her and whispered, "Good afternoon, Miss Fairy."
She has a goblin friend.
This friend looked like a pink cat, but was only as big as her two palms. It had a pair of transparent wings on its back, which flapped as it floated in the air, with tiny balls of light floating around it, just like a fairy in a fairy tale.
"I've told you many times, just call me 'Moko', fairy or something is too strange!"
Gradually falling from the sky, the fairy who called herself "Moko" said to herself: "Just like I won't call you 'human', this name is actually very rude."
"Okay, I understand, Mo Ke." So Bai Jingxuan nodded obediently.
She met Mo Ke in the afternoon a few days ago.
At that time, she just happened to pass by here, and because of the hot weather in midsummer, she wanted to stay in the shade for a while. It was this action that made her meet the fairy flying from the sky.
At that time, she didn't know what a fairy was. She just found the cat flying in the air very novel, so she couldn't help but talk to it.
What surprised her even more was that the cat could actually talk.
Then she realized that the other person was the legendary "fairy".
The fairy who called herself "Moko" was very humorous and willing to chat with her for a long time. She told her many fairy-tale stories. Later, the word "magical girl" began to appear in its description.
Bai Jingxuan knew about magical girls.
Rather, her life was saved by the magical girl.
When she was 8 years old, her parents took her out to the hospital for routine check-ups for her difficult-to-treat congenital disease, and they happened to encounter the crippled beast.
At that time, Bai Jingxuan didn't even understand what was going on. She only remembered that she was sitting in the hospital lobby with her parents, talking and laughing with them, when suddenly a strong shock occurred around them.
An out-of-control beast crashed into the hospital and began destroying and killing like crazy.
The hospital was destroyed by the beasts, and a large number of medical staff and patients lost their lives in the attack. Later, Bai Jingxuan heard from others that it was the most tragic casualties in Fangting City in the past ten years.
In this incident, Bai Jingxuan lost her parents and her left eye, but she was the only one who survived.
A magical girl arrived in time, saved the remaining people and defeated the remaining beasts.
Although Bai Jingxuan was still young at that time and her perception of life and death was not so strong, as she grew up, she understood what a favor it was to have her life saved.
So she has a good impression of magical girls.
But in Moko's words, the magical girl seemed to break away from the halo in the eyes of others and become more real and more lifelike.
It told a lot of interesting stories about magical girls, and claimed that it knew magical girls in this city. According to the examples it cited, some of the magical girls in Fangting City failed their school exams; some were so stupid that they couldn't even learn how to use magic; and some bullied the weak and liked to bully fairies.
Although she didn't know how much of these words were true or false, and there were even a lot of negative comments mixed in, it didn't stop Bai Jingxuan from finding what it said very interesting, and because of this, she admired the magical girl even more.
Because she feels that it is precisely because magical girls are actually just ordinary people that their willingness to fight and save others is so precious.
Just when she started thinking this way, two days ago, when she and Mo Ke were enjoying the afternoon together and chatting happily with each other, Mo Ke suddenly proposed this to her:
"Xiaoxuan, did you know? You can actually become a magical girl!"
I would like to recommend a fan fiction written by a friend, "I am Aizen in Naruto".
According to reviews, this book perfectly reproduces Aizen's personality and behavior, as if it were really Aizen's story in the Naruto world. Interested friends can try it.
