In fact, that's exactly what happened.
Lu Mian was already used to it, and didn't have any intention of chasing after her to comfort Xilin.
There is no need to coax them, because the other party will leave regardless of whether you coax them or not. They just have become wild and don't want to stay at home. There is nothing to say.
It's time to come back after a while.
[Looking at Xilin's departing back, you silently looked at the talent named "Guide" that was quietly in your status bar. ]
[In a trance, I saw the figures of Otto and Kallen. 】
[Although not out of the ordinary, his rebellious behavior from time to time is in stark contrast to his obedience.]
【You can't help but fall into deep thought. 】
[Is this BYD Laoshi guide talent the only negative talent you have encountered in several simulations since you encountered the system? ]
While Lu Mian was lost in thought, a graceful figure, whose figure, hair color, hairstyle and even appearance and eye color were extremely similar to Xilin, but much older than Xilin, came over with a plate of washed fruits.
It was none other than Meiya, who had become a magical girl and was now more like Silin's sister in every aspect.
Like Lu Mian, Mei Ya also ignored Xilin's strange action of "suddenly running away from home".
It's not that she is a heartless mother, but she has been completely numbed by the fact that he has run away from home sixteen times in half a year and returned quickly every time.
After placing the fruit in her hand on the coffee table in front of the sofa, Mei Ya turned and sat next to Lu Mian, tied up her hair and said softly:
"It looks like that girl Xilin is playing a prank with you, Mr. Cat, again?"
"Don't," Lu Mian raised his paw and waved it expressionlessly, "It's just a joke. It's too much to say that this behavior is out of anger. If the child wants to go out and play, let her go. It's nothing."
Hearing this, Maya chuckled and nodded.
[Neither you nor Meiya are worried about Xilin's safety.]
[Meiya believes that you, a qualified elder from beginning to end, will not let the child suffer any injustice. She believes in you very much.]
【And you know what's going on. 】
[Let’s not talk about the fact that Xilin is a magical girl. Her own strength has been honed for such a long time. In addition, she has mastered the ability to use space in her previous life. If she is not invincible, no one can hurt her. ]
[In addition, you also gave her a full 520 layers of shields. The protection is so strong that she can survive even if she encounters a world-destroying fission bomb.]
【What? 】
[What should I do if I am deceived by a real bad guy like "Cocolia" who is the only designated Babar in the Collapse World? 】
【Will not. 】
[Because, the Fool who was sitting idle in Tianming had already arranged everything in secret. ]
[Bewitched? All your ashes will be scattered. ]
[Besides the safety issue, you are not worried that Xilin will go astray because of a slight change in her mind.]
[Even if there are small frictions like this from time to time, there is no problem with your teaching. ]
[Xilin will no longer kill innocent people without scruples like she did in her previous life. Her previous extreme behavior was only directed at those bad people in the universal values.]
[If you were born like that, everyone would despise you. If you die, you die. Even if you die 10,000 times, it won’t make any difference. You won’t care.]
【...】
[Although killing bad guys is like stepping on a bug in your home, after you step on one there will always be another one, so it can be considered a futile effort.]
[But Xilin is willing to do it, so let her do it. ]
[As for you, you still have to take care of this family and the girls who still live in this family. ]
[Now I really have my own life. ]
After skipping the topic about Xilin, Lu Mian and Mei Ya huddled together to watch TV for the entire afternoon.
Around dusk, Maya, who had to prepare dinner for today, got up and walked towards the kitchen.
There was no point in Lu Mian staying alone, so he simply turned off the TV and started checking the rooms of the other girls and the girls in the rooms.
The first room he passed was Aurora's room. The smiling girl was studying flowers and plants as usual. When she saw him, she warmly invited him to appreciate the beauty of the flowers and smell their fragrance together.
The second room was Agata's room. A girl with red hair tied in a high ponytail was playing an exciting racing game. When she saw him come in, she naturally invited him to play with her and even made some space for him.
The third room was Galina's room. There were blackout curtains on the windows, but the lights were not on and it was pitch dark.
Instead, a starry sky lamp was turned on here, and the starry sky was reflected on the plain white ceiling, just like the real night sky.
Under the night sky, a girl who still has some "homebody" tendencies is sitting in front of a fluorescent computer, typing away on the keyboard.
Looking closely, it turns out to be code words.
Oh, it’s coding.
There's really nothing to see here, let's go.
Chapter 7: Can't Close Legs (Two in One)
After seeing what Aurora, Agata and Galina were doing, Lu Mian walked all the way to Bella's room and knocked on the last door as usual.
"Clap clap clap."
There was a heavy knock on the door caused by the cat's fist.
Not long after, a slightly cold but intellectual female voice came through the door, "Come in."
Seeing that the owner of the room had given his permission, Lu Mian was no longer polite - he used his magic power to turn the doorknob, then walked straight into the room.
Bella's bedroom.
Looking around, I saw Bella, wearing a blue and white dress, sitting at the desk by the window in the simple but not deserted bedroom, reading a thick book carefully.
Facing the sun, sideways to the door.
Lu Mian stood at the door, quietly admiring Bella's silent and tranquil appearance while she was reading, and also admiring her beautiful profile.
Suddenly, a breeze rushed into the room due to the opening and closing of the door, blew slowly past, lightly lifting the thin white gauze curtains by the window.
Coincidentally, the curtain was blown by the wind and gently covered Bella's head, who was concentrating on reading at the time.
For a moment, it really looked like someone's lovely bride was wearing a holy and flawless veil.
It can be called a stroke of genius.
Lu Mian has never had a hobby of taking photos nor has he had the strange habit of carrying a camera with him, so he could only remember this scene with his eyes.
However, it's enough.
After all, such scenes are more suitable to be treasured in one's heart rather than preserved and shared with others.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
After three full seconds, Lu Mian moved.
He first closed the door with magic, then walked all the way to Bella, fixed the window screen for her, and tied it up.
Bella remained motionless throughout the entire process, her eyes just staring softly at the large book in front of her.
It is really hard to say whether I am lazy or I have become dull from reading too much.
It can't be some kind of "silent coquetry", right?
Lu Mian shook his head slowly, stopping the surging thoughts in his mind, and just floated in the air, supporting his face, silently admiring Bella while she was reading.
After a while, Bella, who felt a little embarrassed by being admired so closely, was no longer as calm as before, but she didn't say anything in the end.
After a while, she turned her head, twisting her hair with her fingertips, and looked at the cat floating beside her.
Her expression looked a little "silly" for some reason. She pursed her moist pink lips and silently pointed to her own white thighs that were pressed together.
This is - because he feels a little embarrassed by being stared at, so he chooses to break the awkward situation by inviting others to read books together?
Guessing this, Lu Mian tilted his head, then shook his head, rejecting the suggestion of "sitting on the girl's lap" which sounded extremely tempting.
Afterwards, he used magic to pull a chair that was not far away, sat down at the desk, and began to look through the "grimoire" that came with his innate talent.
In the original setting of the League of Legends game, the most magical magic cat "Yuumi" relies on this thing to travel around the Rune Continent and embark on a journey to find his master.
Lu Mian has no master, but he also has someone he cares about:
But a picture appeared faintly on the magic book, and the person in the picture was none other than Xilin who had just "run away from home".
Bella, who was already very close, naturally caught a glimpse of the picture displayed on the magic book.
She, who has always been known for being "thrifty with words", paused and took the initiative to speak:
"Sister Xilin, did she run away from home again out of anger?"
[In terms of age, Bella is actually older than Celine. ]
[It is a bit strange to call someone "sister" when you are older than them.]
[But she didn't feel anything strange.]
[At the same time, this is not a problem in your family, which is already somewhat special and has been reorganized into countless layers. It can even be said that it is not surprising.]
Lu Mian was naturally happy when Bella, who was usually taciturn, asked questions proactively.
However, the answer was the same as the one given to Maya:
"That girl was just having fun at home with nothing to do. To say that she ran away from home out of spite is a bit of an exaggeration.
"It's normal for children to have their own ideas when they grow up. Just let her be. There's nothing to worry about."
"But Mr. Cat, you are still worried about Sister Xilin's playfulness which is nothing to worry about, aren't you?" Bella said as she curled the corners of her mouth slightly. She seemed to be smiling, and her smile was somewhat happy.
Hearing this, Lu Mian subconsciously lowered his eyes and looked at Xilin who was preparing matters related to "Justice Execution" in the magic book.
The tenderness in her eyes was visible and seemed about to solidify into reality. "Of course I would worry like this. They are my own children. Even if the preparations and protections are all appropriate, I am still afraid of the unexpected, right?
"I can allow you to grow freely as long as you do not go against universal values; but I cannot allow you to suffer even the slightest injustice because of my own negligence."
These sincere words are full of the responsibilities and obligations that "elders" should have.
Bella nodded slightly, a gentle smile quietly appearing at the corners of her lips.
She stared at the large book in front of her and murmured softly, as if in a dream:
"I see, this is really..."
The sense of security that makes you feel so happy that you want to cry.
The words were not yet finished, but there was no need to say more.
In the following time, neither the man nor the cat spoke any more. They just basked in the warm sunshine together, silently enjoying this rare reading time with each other.
A long time, a long time.
Bella turned a page of the book and suddenly spoke thoughtfully:
"Mr. Cat, aren't you the most amazing magical cat? Can you transform into a human?"
"Girl, why are you asking such a question all of a sudden? Tell me! Are you trying to get my information?"
Lu Mian did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked at the figure of Xilin on the magic book that was used as a magic video tool and said so with interest.
Bella tilted her head, her eyes as pure as an innocent child, "If I have to answer, it's probably because I can't control my curiosity?"
【Do you become a human? 】
[If this question is asked to you during your time as Void Manzang, then it is undoubtedly true.]
[If you change the time and answer the question when you first come to this simulated world, you will get a completely opposite answer.]
[And now, the answer to the question of whether or not you can "transform into a human form" is once again in sync with your answer during the Xukong Wanzang period.]
[It is probably possible, and can even be said to be child's play. ]
[You have not yet regained your human form because you have been a human for too long.]
[For you, the opportunity to become a magic cat and live for a period of time is a novelty that you should cherish. 】
[It’s not impossible, but it’s not necessary. ]
[The simulation will eventually come to an end. After the simulation ends, you will shed your identity as a magic cat and return to your previous human identity.]
【This is the only certain thing.】
【Therefore, there is no need to rush. 】
