Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

"You bullied me into only being able to use rock and paper! Still want to play now?"

Mo Ke popped out from the side, joining in the taunt, "We're the ones going out to enjoy a lovely afternoon tea, while you can only stay at home cleaning and eating dust, meow ha ha!"

"Afternoon tea?"

Lin Xiaolu glanced at it and said indifferently, "Anyway, it's Xia Liang who's having a good time chatting with her classmate, you're just air there, aren't you?"

"Besides, even if we don't play rock-paper-scissors, don't you have to go out for a walk every afternoon? Going out with Xia Liang just means changing the place, right?"

"What are you saying!"

Mo Ke instantly got furious, puffing up and glaring, "How many times do I have to say it, this is the work of a Seeder!"

"The work of a Seeder is to run to the orphanage and spill the dark secrets of your companion to unsuspecting little girls?"

Lin Xiaolu narrowed her eyes, "Really impressive, no wonder you are called a big liar."

"What orphanage, I haven't been there for a while now..."

Mo Ke subconsciously started to retort but suddenly realized what Lin Xiaolu meant and paused, then looked towards Bai Jingxuan, "Xiao Xuan?"

All he got was a slightly embarrassed smile from Bai Jingxuan:

"Sorry, was that something I shouldn't talk about?"

That afternoon, while cleaning the living room, she had shared some of her past experiences with Lin Xiaolu, and in the flow of conversation mentioned the things that happened when she first met Mo Ke. Lin Xiaolu hadn't shown any noticeable reaction while listening, so Bai Jingxuan didn't realize that what she said was essentially betraying Mo Ke.

It was more than just "shouldn't talk about."

Mo Ke wanted to shout just that but it was too late, and he could only look stiffly towards Lin Xiaolu.

"What's wrong? Why are you staying so far away from me?"

Lin Xiaolu put her hands on her hips, staring at Mo Ke, "Heard you still want to play rock-paper-scissors? Come a bit closer to me then."

Mo Ke flapped its wings and took two steps back, "Meow ha ha, don't want to play anymore, meow."

"Don't want to play?"

Lin Xiaolu sneered and lifted her fist, "That won't do; now I demand to continue playing rock-paper-scissors, my hand against your face."

Mo Ke shivered all over, backing away even further, "That's not a rock-paper-scissors game! Meow!"

With that, it turned and flew towards the stairwell, escaping down to the basement.

"Don't run! Stop right there!" Lin Xiaolu shouted chasing after it, charging down the stairs with it.

Left in the living room, Bai Jingxuan and Xia Liang watched as the two of them started fighting the moment they met and now ran off out of sight, only able to exchange a helpless glance.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Forget about those two childish ghosts, let's clean up the things we bought and put them in the fridge," said Xia Liang with a smile.

The two of them then went back to the kitchen together and started dealing with the various plastic bags piled up there.

Opening these bags, Bai Jingxuan surveyed the fresh vegetables packed inside. At first glance, nothing seemed special, but upon a closer look, she couldn't help exclaiming, "Xia Liang, the vegetables you picked are of great quality!"

The appearance of the vegetables in the bags was excellent; even the worst among them was at least good quality.

"I'm quite confident about that," Xia Liang said somewhat proudly, "After all, I've been living alone for a long time, so skills like grocery shopping and cooking I'm quite proficient at."

"That's amazing!" Bai Jingxuan praised earnestly, "I need to learn well too."

"It's a pity that I was only asked to buy groceries close to noon," Xia Liang efficiently organized the fridge, "The best selection had already been picked over by that time."

—"But I don't remember agreeing that grocery shopping should take four to five hours."

Lin Xiaolu's voice suddenly emerged overhead; she was holding Mo Ke in one hand and had the other hand on her hip as she walked forward, "Because of you, Bai Jingxuan and I could only have takeout for lunch!"

"Even if you came back as fast as possible, you still wouldn't have had time to make lunch, would you?"

Xia Liang smiled helplessly, "Plus, I did send you a message saying I wouldn't be back for lunch."

"You just wanted takeout for yourself!" Mo Ke, caught in her hand, shouted, "Full of oil and salt, you'll end up with a face full of pimples!"

"Mind your own business!" Lin Xiaolu rubbed Mo Ke's head vigorously and said in annoyance.

After venting her emotions, she tossed Mo Ke aside, squatted in front of the plastic bags on the floor, rummaged through the edges, and after confirming the contents, she looked up and said:

"Speaking of which, everything we bought is fresh produce; there's no pre-made food."

"You didn't ask for pre-made food," Xia Liang replied as she stuffed vegetables into the fridge, "And constantly eating industrial products is not good for health; it's safer to make it yourself."

Lin Xiaolu didn't respond to her but was still searching for something in the bags; not long after, she tossed the bags aside, looked up and asked, "So, what about our dinner?"

"Dinner?"

Xia Liang blinked twice, unsure how to respond for a moment.

"I told you before you left, didn't I? To pick up something that we could eat directly for dinner," Lin Xiaolu said with her arms folded across her chest, "Now, where's our dinner?"

The words finally reactivated Xia Liang's memory. She looked into the plastic bag again, was still for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, I forgot!"

"You really forgot!"

Lin Xiaolu pointed at her: "You said playing with your classmate wouldn't interfere with serious matters; isn't this a big problem?"

"Um... I can't argue with that." Xia Liang looked downcast and admitted honestly.

"Now, tell me, Director of Imperial Cuisine!"

Lin Xiaolu knocked on the fridge door making a "bang-bang" noise, pointing at Mo Ke who had just received a lesson, "Where is our dinner? Be careful, or I'll have your head!"
