"Little Linlin, look at me, please, I... I really like you. Ever since we first met, you've always been in my heart. Now... I want you, okay?~"
When Qi Wu finally broke through that last barrier, her eyes shone with the deepest affection as she gazed at him.
Little by little, as I approached him.
The girl's lips were so close, and getting closer and closer.
Lorraine's pupils contracted.
However--
Just as the distance between the two was about to shrink to zero and they were about to touch each other, Lorraine deliberately turned her face away.
This scene.
The moment also made Qi Wu stop moving. The feelings she had finally mustered up the courage to reveal were dealt a heavy blow.
She asked, her voice trembling slightly, with disbelief and sadness in her eyes.
"Why?"
Those three simple words seemed to encapsulate all the sadness she felt at that moment.
Lorraine closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, then opened them again, calmly looking at her, and gave a serious reply, "Qiwu, some things... once done, can never be undone, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, I don't understand at all. All I want to know is, why?"
"Can you let me get up first?"
"Little Linlin, do you think I'm not pretty?"
"pretty."
"Isn't it cute enough?"
"So cute."
"You have a great figure, don't you?"
"Um."
"Then why... why did you reject me? Is there something I didn't do well enough?"
"That's not how it is, Qi Wu, calm down."
Lorraine wanted to get up and have a proper talk with the other party.
Ke Qiwu clearly didn't want this to happen.
Instead, she hugged him tightly, still lying on top of him, Qi Wu pressed against his chest. At this moment, she could clearly hear Lorraine's strong and powerful heartbeat echoing in her ears.
——
Lorraine struggled to no avail and could only give up for the time being.
Qi Wu's voice rang out.
"I... I'd do anything for Xiaolinlin."
"Qi Wu".
"Xiao Linlin also said that I am a very important person, right?"
"Um."
"Then why won't you truly accept me?"
“I’ve always felt that now is not the time to think about these things.”
"Is it because of... Maitina-chan?"
"What?"
Lorraine was taken aback upon hearing this.
Qi Wu continued.
"Hey, Linlin, I want to know... how does Linlin view Maitina-chan?"
"Even if you suddenly ask me this, I thought you've always known my answer."
"Is it... is it someone she likes? Is the person Xiaolin likes Wutina-chan?"
"It's less about liking and more about loyalty, mutual reliance, mutual trust, and being like family. So whether it's you, Mutina, or Kurisu, Shinju, or Mamo... you are all the most important people to me. I have no other wish but that you are safe and sound. And you... are my only concern in this world."
"Family... but what about becoming real family?"
Qi Wu hugged him even tighter and said sincerely, "I want to become a real family with Xiao Linlin, okay?"
This is a heartfelt confession.
Lorraine heard it too.
but……
As the many memories of past separations flashed and shone through his mind like a frantic slideshow, they began to play out rapidly.
Lorraine also spoke sincerely.
"Qi Wu, you have to understand that I am ultimately different from all of you. Whether you are magical girls or evil organizations, you possess magical powers that allow you to do things that ordinary people would never dare to imagine. Your futures are incredibly bright and dazzling. But what about me? I am just an ordinary person. I have no power, no magic, no cheat codes, and no security that can put my mind at ease. To this day... I have lost count of how many times I have been prepared to sacrifice myself. The reason I am still standing here is only because of luck."
"No, to me, Linlin, you will always be the best."
“When a person has too many attachments in their heart, the parting will be even more painful. Qi Wu, I can’t be this lucky forever. I don’t have… the capital to bear failure, not even once.”
No, it won't.
"Qi Wu, I could sacrifice myself at any moment in the future, so... I understand your feelings, and I'm grateful for your affection. You're a good girl, really, you're the best. So choosing me... might not be a wise choice. Actually, I really don't think I can survive to the end. Human life is just too fragile. If someone is killed, they die. I know that all too well. Perhaps, that's just the fate of ordinary people."
"It's okay, I'll protect you!"
"You know, that's impossible."
Lorraine's words.
Qi Wu's eyes welled up with tears, and she exclaimed, "Will Lin Lin feel okay if I marry another man and date other men in the future?"
"I……"
Lorraine fell silent.
Qi Wu laughed instead, because the silence at this moment was the best answer. "It seems that you can still be jealous, Linlin. If you really didn't care, you would have given an answer without hesitation just now. But the more silent you are now, the more you can't say it, the more it means that you care about me, right? You don't want me to be with other men, right?"
