Chapter 89 Signature
"...Dean Liu."
Seeing that Liu Wenqin's topic was gradually going off track, Cuique had to remind her, "This is not part of the scheduled conversation."
"Oh, sorry, this is my first time seeing a magical girl up close, so I said too much."
Liu Wenqin paused and smiled apologetically: "I have asked everything I wanted to ask, let's get back to the topic."
Putting aside his excessive interest in conversation, the old dean rummaged through a pile of documents on his desk, took out a dozen bound forms, and handed them to Cuique.
Cuiqiao took the small stack of documents with some doubts, and simply flipped through them, only to find out: this turned out to be Bai Jingxuan's case report, as well as many documents and certificates before she was accepted into the welfare home.
It contains a relatively detailed and official description of Bai Jingxuan's experience, the reasons why she entered the welfare home, and her current situation.
Holding the papers gently, Delphinium said nothing, but just flipped through the documents silently.
She read many things from the documents. She knew that Bai Jingxuan was born with a strange disease; she knew that she lost her parents and eyes in an attack by brutal beasts; she also knew that no one had adopted her after waiting for three years in the welfare home.
Delphinium felt that she was not a person with excessive compassion, but she had the most basic empathy of an adult. Holding such information, she felt her palms became heavier.
The number of attacks by cruel beasts has never been a trivial matter. Although there are magical girls and the Strategy Bureau responsible for maintaining the safety of the city, there will always be casualties.
Every casualty is just a count in black and white in the files, but behind it often means the breakup of a family.
"I have been observing Xiaoxuan's situation and have often heard the caregivers talk about her. I can only say that her situation is indeed...special."
Seeing Cuique looking down at the documents, Liu Wenqin also added from behind the desk: "Her parents died in an accidental attack by beasts, and her life has become very inconvenient since then. Although she usually behaves normally, we are not sure whether what she expresses is her true feelings."
"If these things were considered unexpected disasters before, and we ordinary people couldn't even think about them, then after becoming a magical girl and having the ability to defeat and kill the remaining beasts, I'm worried about what kind of emotions she will have."
"She has always been very quiet and sensible, and because of this, everyone is even more worried. How much hatred she will have for the beasts, and how this hatred will affect her, these are things I cannot predict and cannot control."
"In a place like ours, the care that the caregivers can give her is ultimately limited; if no one is willing to adopt her, then she may always lack a mentor to guide her correctly in the rest of her life."
"But, Miss Cornflower, if it's you, the one who once saved this city... I believe you can lead her back on the right track."
"It's not just about making her a magical girl like you, but more importantly, guiding her out of her own emotions so that she can gain a completely new perspective on the world."
Liu Wenqin spoke these words very sincerely.
Not only as the director of an orphanage, but also as an elder, these words reflect her real concerns for Bai Jingxuan.
"...I will." Looking up from the documents and looking at Liu Wenqin, Cuiqiao answered calmly and seriously.
Bai Jingxuan has become a magical girl with the help of Mo Ke, so she is a member of the Fangting City Magic Girl Team and Lin Xiaolu's partner now and in the future. Whether it is out of sympathy and concern, or as a magical girl's senior, there is no reason for me not to train her well.
Learning about Liu Wenqin's experience and condition will help me better teach her according to her aptitude and help her grow.
At this point, the purpose of this dialogue has been achieved.
When Cuiqiao finished reading the information and expressed his gratitude to the other party, Liu Wenqin suddenly lowered her voice and spoke as if whispering:
"I heard from the staff of the Strategy Bureau that after this incident, I will gradually forget about it without any negative effects."
"Then I will probably forget that Xiaoxuan has become a magical girl, and I will also forget that I have ever seen you, right?"
"So, I still have to say thank you to you solemnly. I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of everyone in this welfare home, and I wish you success in your future work."
She said this, hesitated for a moment, then with an embarrassed smile, she opened the notebook on the table, took out a bookmark from it, and handed it to Cornflower: "Although I asked for it for my daughter, could you please leave me an autograph?"
Looking at the bookmark she handed over, Delphinium picked up the pen. There wasn't much she could do in response, all she could say was "thank you".
With mixed feelings, she wrote the words "cornflower" on the bookmark and said goodbye to Liu Wenqin behind the desk. After leaving the office, she turned around and saw Liu Wenqin sitting there, waving calmly and smiling at her.
She was very open-minded about forgetting the experience, but both she and Delphinium knew that even if they met again, they would only be strangers.
Perhaps forgetting these things and returning to peace is the safest choice for most ordinary people.
On the way home, Lin Yun sat in the light rail tram, looking at the street scene outside the window, his expression dazed and lost in thought.
The Strategy Bureau acted quickly. After just one day, the blocks surrounding the welfare home had been basically repaired, with only some corners still having security fences.
Although he had never been back to the company to check, he knew that it would not take long to repair the office building. The magician's skills were far superior to those of ordinary construction units in this kind of thing.
A lot of things happened in the past two days, so he had been in a tense mental state. As the finishing touches of the events were completed one after another, while he relaxed, he also had to make plans for what was to come.
He has officially resigned from Gaosheng Company, which is why he can still go to the welfare home leisurely on weekday mornings. However, he has not yet decided whether he should stay at home after resigning.
Although he would be active as a delphinium during the day, as a father, Lin Yun felt that he should not tell Lin Xiaolu that he had quit his job. After all, not having a job would affect the image of a middle-aged man.
He is still deciding whether to keep his resignation secret or find a job with no real content and no income.
With my resignation, Lin Xiaolu and her classmates' summer vacation is still going on. Next, after I officially start coaching them, how to train them needs to be considered.
Bai Jingxuan, orphan, disabled, and displaced.
These key words flashed in Lin Yun's mind, forcing him to seriously think about the next educational issues.
"Anyway, talk to her first."
