The warm and cozy meal time passed quickly. Lu Mian looked at Mei Ya and Xi Lin, and after confirming that they had nothing else to do, he said softly:
"Don't go, don't go. I have prepared gifts for you."
Hearing this, Meiya and Xilin looked at each other and were both silent.
In the end, Maya forced herself to suppress the surging emotions in her heart and said, "Mr. Cat, Xilin and I have already received a lot of help from you. I am really embarrassed to accept your gift again."
After the words fell, Xilin also nodded.
Although she is a little bit crazy in her concepts and mental state due to her experiences in her past life, she still cares deeply about the people around her.
More often than not, she prefers to be the one who gives more.
How is it possible to get free food and accommodation like now?
In fact, even when Lu Mian came with money and proposed to renovate the entire house, Mei Ya and Xilin clearly refused.
But it didn't work.
That time, Lu Mian, who was always a gentle and good cat, was tough for once and made the decision without saying a word.
The subsequent plan to improve the food was arranged without even asking any questions.
As for the gifts nowadays, even if one is as thick-skinned as the corner of a city wall, one would be too ashamed to accept them, right?
Lu Mian looked at Mei Ya and Xilin, and found that the purple-haired mother and daughter, one big and one small, showed surprisingly consistent resistance on their faces. He shook his head.
Then, she pretended to be sad and lost, "It seems that I still can't fit into this family, and you still don't treat me as a family member.
"How can family members owe each other anything? Besides, didn't I say from the beginning that I want to lead you to a good life?"
Such words cannot be called lies at all.
If he could become a family with Meiya and Xilin, he would never refuse it.
As for the promise of "living a good life" at the end, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
After all, he said this from the beginning because he loved Kiana deeply and wanted Sirin to be happier.
After truly witnessing the relationship between Maya and Celine, this mother and daughter, such promises are all inexplicable yet legitimate and sincere.
[You have always been this kind of person. As long as you meet the right person, you will release your kindness to the greatest extent. ]
[If not, there is no need to say a single extra word. ]
[Otto and Kallen were like this in the past; those shining people in the previous civilization were like this; and the people headed by Kiana in the current civilization are like this. 】
[The same is true for Meiya and Xilin, mother and daughter, today. 】
【That’s nothing. 】
[After all, being able to catch your eye and make you willing to shine for it is a very high threshold. ]
[It’s just that now it’s you who is in more and more trouble. ]
[In the past, you would just stuff money or checks into Mebius and May's mouths and walk away, unlike now when you still have to coax them.]
[Anyway, they really do look like a family...]
After Lu Mian's performance that was enough to shock the eight old Yimous and his patient persuasion, Mei Ya and Xilin finally agreed, either hesitantly or with twinkling eyes.
Seeing this, Lu Mian shook his head and started distributing gifts.
He first gave Xilin a pink star gem, and then explained very attentively:
"I'm the magic cat, and you're my magical girl. This has been decided from the beginning.
"Since you are a magical girl, you naturally have the ability to transform. You can hold this gem and whisper the spell 'Miracle☆Magical Girl' to successfully transform.
"There is another surprise after the transformation. Do you want to read it out now and see what that surprise is?"
Hearing this, Xilin, who was originally looking forward to the gift with great interest, seemed to be struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Miracle☆Magical Girl?
That’s not it, isn’t that what she had in mind in those early years?
This, hiss...
-----------------
A long time had passed since her rebirth, and Xilin was living a life she had never dared to dream of before.
I live in a warm home with my mother and eat delicious, nutritious food with a balanced combination of meat and vegetables.
He is accompanied by elders like Lu Mian who are both teachers and friends, and they spend an ordinary but not boring life together.
Although there is not much subjective initiative involved.
But...it's not bad.
It's funny to say that Xilin has been able to let go of her obsession. Even though she still looks down on people other than her family, she is no longer as crazy and paranoid as before.
She was truly changed by this wonderful life.
However, all of this collapsed when Lu Mian blurted out the words "Miracle☆Magical Girl".
My middle school thoughts were known to an elder of the opposite sex and read out loud to him/her, in front of my biological mother.
What kind of experience is this?
Don’t ask, if you ask, I want to die, I want to die very much;
Don’t say it, if you do, I’ll regret it, very much.
This is not funny, kids.
It is said that everyone has the urge to strangle their younger self. Let’s not talk about others for now, but Xilin has it now.
Xilin suppressed the thought of running away with Benares in her arms, looked at Maya who was expectant, and then looked at Lu Mian who seemed to be encouraging her. Finally, she made up her mind and murmured like a dream:
"Miracle, Miracle☆Magical Girl."
After the words fell, one second, two seconds, three seconds...
Three full seconds passed and nothing happened.
Xilin was no longer as pale and thin as before. Instead, her fair, beautiful and delicate face quickly turned blood red as if it had been dyed.
Just when she felt she had been fooled and was filled with shame and anger, something strange happened.
With the arrival of the next second, the girl's body began to radiate a dreamy color composed of light pink and light purple.
The light enveloped it, becoming increasingly intense, until finally, it suddenly became so bright that it could not be looked at directly.
Such a transformation is too redundant and affects actual combat.
But it doesn’t matter, after all, you are invincible when you transform.
After just a few seconds, the light around Xilin gradually dissipated bit by bit.
When the light disappeared, she, who had been wrapped in the light, showed up for the first time.
But it is indescribably stunning.
The poor little girl with a pale face and skinny body and wearing patched clothes has disappeared.
Instead, there was a girl with fair skin and delicate face.
Due to her age, she could not be said to be absolutely beautiful, but she was indeed like a fine doll, indescribably lovable.
In the dim and warm light of the fire, she stood quietly in front of the dining table, as dazzling and unconventional as the brightest pole star in the night sky.
The golden-orange eyes are bright, as if they contain thousands of lights, flashing with the proper innocence and an indescribable sense of brokenness.
The long purple hair that grew to her heels was no longer split and frizzy, but was softer than the finest silk. It swayed gently without wind, like ripples in a lake in spring.
Looking down, she was wearing a lovely white and purple dress that looked like a gorgeous gown, dotted with purple flowers.
The deliberately widened sleeves and the fluffy white skirt fluttered gently, inadvertently drawing a dreamy arc.
The delicate patterns embroidered on the skirt seemed like a gift from nature, making her look as noble as a little princess and highlighting her innocence as a child.
She wore a pair of white over-the-knee socks and a pair of round-toed leather shoes.
Beautiful, very beautiful.
This set of transformed clothes was designed entirely by Lu Mian himself. Of course, it inevitably borrowed a lot from Xilin's style in "Honkai Gakuen".
After Xilin turned around in front of Meiya as if to show her off, she couldn't wait to run to her bedroom and take out the mirror.
Even though she was either wrapped in rags or barefoot in her previous life, her basic aesthetic sense was still there.
He immediately exclaimed in surprise and emotion:
"Oh my god, this is so beautiful, isn't it? ...Mian, thank you."
Looking at Xilin's excitement, Lu Mian had no doubt that if he was not in the form of a furry cat at this moment, he would definitely get a kiss.
In that case, the dog might do it, which is not appropriate.
Well, there is one more benefit to turning into a magic cat.
Ahem, let’s get back to the topic. Looking at Xilin, who was so happy that she almost forgot her last name and “almost forgot her past life”, Lu Mian shook his head and explained:
"We are all family, there is nothing to thank.
"If you like it, just keep wearing it. This dress is specially prepared for you. It is a gift just like the magical girl's gem.
"As for the abilities you gain after transforming into a magical girl, the relevant information should have been transmitted to your mind. By the way, the transformation lasts forever and has no time limit."
Hearing this, Xilin tried to search.
Sure enough, when she thought of magical girls, the related abilities and how to use them slowly emerged in her mind.
Took a look, nothing special.
It can even be said that her abilities are exactly the same as those in her previous life.
Not as good as the nice clothes you are wearing.
......Um?
Exactly the same?
Xilin stretched her neck and suddenly found something wrong.
But on second thought, he didn't care too much - this was the pufferfish's nature that was exposed at this moment because of the joy of getting new clothes.
Otherwise it wouldn't be so bloated...
Ignoring for the moment Xilin, who was so happy about getting new clothes and looked a bit like Kiana, Lu Mian tilted his head to look at Meiya, who was also looking forward to it, and said softly:
"Madam, I have also prepared a corresponding gift for you, but it is not an extraordinary item like a magical girl."
Hearing this, Mei Ya nodded at first to show her understanding, and then blushed for some reason.
Only she herself knows why she blushes:
She is already in her twenties and is a mother. She really can't be called a girl. She should be ashamed if she has anything to do with a girl.
If Lu Mian knew about this idea, he would definitely give examples to refute it.
After all, he had not only seen little girls in their forties, but also girls who were probably over 50,000 years old.
The world of collapse is magical, isn’t it?
Of course, Lu Mian couldn't read minds, and couldn't guess what Mei Ya was thinking. He just assumed that she was still feeling ashamed, so he added as he took out the gift:
"If you really feel bad, you can just repay me casually. It's fine as long as you feel better."
After hearing this, Meiya, who was originally blushing with embarrassment, felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
But I felt a little emotional and a little bit unbelievable.
You know, when her ex-husband learned that she had an incurable disease, he ran away that night without any hesitation.
Even the young Xilin couldn't keep the other person.
But this is not surprising at all.
After all, poor couples have many sorrows.
This is the norm.
Because of this, Lu Mian's behavior is more lethal in comparison.
