Chapter 271
It's already midnight. Although I felt refreshed and full of energy after meditating, my biological clock is still reminding me that I should go to sleep.
"Listen to it at double speed once, take some notes, and then go to sleep."
The recordings for Little Cotton-padded Jacket were made right after the start of the course, including segments on Meditation Method practice and later classes where Qing Bao was the little teacher. She listened to the recordings while referring to her notes, fast-forwarding and filling in any gaps in her knowledge, and felt extremely fulfilled.
However, half an hour later, the progress gradually accelerated to an abnormal point.
"Ugh, Xiao Qing, no... it itches."
"That's terrible, glug, glug..."
Chu Wangshu initially thought it was a hallucination. She took off her headphones in a daze, then put them back on. Her fair earlobes gradually turned red amidst the suspicious sounds.
"Hmph, caught you? Begging for mercy? No way! I'm going to get my revenge right in front of Xiao Shu!"
"No, no, pouring magic into it is cheating! Xiao Qing is a bad person, a bad thing!"
"... It's so hot, I'm so full, ugh, I... I... I'm letting go, I... I don't give up, but... but you can't drink anymore!"
These strange, trivial sounds were far less clear than during lectures; instead, they were obscure and indistinct, like a low-resolution short film, mixed with a peculiar sense of ambiguity. Occasionally, there was the rustling of fabric and the sound of a kitten drinking water.
As Chu Wangshu listened, using her newly activated Supernatural Senses, she pieced together the suspicious recording with a mixture of imagination and speculation. Her lovely face flushed red, and she transformed into a steampunk goddess with a burnt-out CPU.
The girl's usually studious mind was now filled with pink, adult information. Her dark eyes darted around, and she felt as if a new world had been opened to her. Overwhelmed with shock, she was speechless.
After listening for a while longer, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket finally realized what was happening and stammered to herself:
"Huh? So... so, Charlotte wouldn't open the door for me back then because... because she was doing... doing that kind of thing with Qing Bao?!"
Chu Wangshu was incoherent, her mind was in disarray, and her face was flushed with embarrassment.
Haha, no wonder... no wonder Qing Bao and Sister Charlotte's faces were so red, and their eyes were more alluring than usual. So that's why... that explains it. So their blushing makes perfect sense now.
Chu Wangshu was so ashamed she wanted to disappear. She had unintentionally disturbed, and even participated in, Charlotte and Qing Bao's sex life! They would definitely find her annoying, bothersome, and even hate her, right?
Wait, something's not right! This isn't the time to worry about that. The real question is, when did Charlotte and Qing Bao develop this kind of relationship?
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket slapped her cheeks hard with both hands. She hurriedly stopped recording, not daring to listen anymore. Her mind was a mess, her thoughts a jumbled mess. It took her several minutes to calm down and finally manage to sort out her thoughts.
First, Charlotte said that she has a very good relationship with her Dad.
This is good. One possibility is that she's a potential stepmother, or it could simply be seen as a "friendship despite the age gap," meaning they're good friends.
But before that, Xiao Qing and Charlotte's relationship was obvious to all.
As soon as Chu Yuanqing arrived in Vienna, he lingered for a long time for Charlotte. The next day, he asked the contestants in the Vienna Division for her contact information. After that, he spent almost 90% of his time on his phone chatting with Charlotte.
The most obvious difference is their behavior after they meet.
That was an emotion that people who had only known each other for a short time couldn't possibly display. Given their shared identity as Magical Girl, she had already privately imagined a lot about their past. Now that she knew they were a couple, aside from the shyness of being overheard, she wasn't actually that shocked.
After all, after the sixth episode aired, just a short time surfing the internet would reveal how Austria and Great Xia netizens were wildly speculating about the relationship between the two. These possible seeds had been planted in her heart to some extent, and now she was simply seeing them actually sprout.
Well, although this sprout grew into a towering tree right in front of me, at least I was somewhat prepared.
"It's... it's still better than misunderstanding that Liuli has a crush on Yayoi- neechan!"
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket tried to convince herself. She rubbed her face with both hands, nodded, and continued:
"Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Charlotte's strong affinity, which inexplicably made her get along well with everyone, things would have seemed off between her and Xiao Qing long ago."
Chu Wangshu barely managed to recover and regain some of her senses. She felt somewhat disappointed, as she had previously hoped that Charlotte and her Dad had an ambiguous relationship and that she might become a new mother.
But in the end, Charlotte ended up getting together with her number one stepmother candidate—a gentle, radiant, stunningly beautiful, youthful yet mature woman with a large bust, long legs, superb cooking skills, and even the ability to tell stories, plus a white-haired, golden-eyed Qing Bao named Qingbao!
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket was secretly heartbroken; after all this, it was like losing two mothers!
Although... although she knew that no matter what her Dad thought, he couldn't possibly get along with these two, she still felt that something was missing, and she felt empty inside.
Oh, what a pity. If Dad, Charlotte, and Qing Bao were together, she could have a perfect new family.
Chu Wangshu stared blankly for a while before extinguishing the absurd thought. She shook her head in shame, feeling that she was incredibly strange. How could she keep imagining other girls as her stepmother? This must be a kind of illness!
"However, it seems I've only ever had these fantasies about Xiao Qing and Charlotte. I haven't had any for Sister Xie or Yayoi. There are so many pretty women in the base, it's quite normal in my eyes."
"Thinking about it this way, maybe they're just too special?"
After thinking about the question for a while, Chu Wangshu no longer found it strange.
Both Charlotte and Chu Yuanqing are incredibly charming girls. Charlotte is practically the national flower of the Holy United States, while Chu Yuanqing receives flowers from strangers wherever she goes. They are the kind of girls who can captivate hearts with their looks without any idol aura.
"I'm just a sucker for good looks."
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket suddenly realized that the answer made a lot of sense. She ruled out the possibility that she was a pervert and felt much more at ease.
Afterwards, Chu Wangshu looked at the obscene recording on the tablet, hesitated for a moment, then fast-forwarded to the serious lecture, quickly finished taking notes, deleted the recording, turned off the tablet, and collapsed onto the soft bed to go to sleep.
In her Little Cotton-padded Jacket state, she could still hear strange water sounds from time to time, keeping her tossing and turning all night.
The girl couldn't help but imagine what lewd things Qing Bao had done to Charlotte in bed that night. But as soon as she started imagining it, she would roll around in bed in shame, and she didn't know how long she tossed and turned before she could finally fall asleep.
On the other side, the Doomsday Diva suffered repeated defeats, yet she fought on despite them.
Finally, enraged and embarrassed, she resorted to both pleading and threats, forcing the innocent Chu Yuanqing to forbid her from using magic. Only then did she and the Golden Haired Doggy use Magic Replenishment techniques to thoroughly bully the other party for an hour.
Afterwards, Miss Saintess felt as if she had discovered a new continent.
That's right, if we don't Magic Replenishment and only focus on love, then Qing Bao is nothing to worry about!
Unfortunately, just as Charlotte was about to push her luck, the Pure White Witch ordered her Golden Haired Doggy to tie her up and give her all the punishment she had suffered in the previous hour, severely punishing this fallen Saintess.
After a process that omitted five thousand words, the trio's music party came to a successful conclusion. They all went to the bathroom to take a shower, put on bathrobes, and, feeling refreshed and tired, fell fast asleep on a bed.
It's worth mentioning that Chu Yuanqing was still in the middle, her slender waist was being hugged by the clingy Golden Haired Doggy, her back was pressed against the heavy, warm flesh that felt like a flattened grapefruit, and in her arms lay a beautiful Diva with reddened eyes and a smile on her lips, looking holy and pure, her palms filled with the other's delicate thigh flesh.
Well, the nature of this scene is quite subtle. It's unclear Qing Bao is enjoying the blessings of having two women, or whether she's being divided and possessed by the two of them.
However, since everyone was only wearing underwear and not covered by blankets, it was indeed a very erotic scene, so vivid and suggestive that it could be used as CG in an adult game.
The next morning.
Chu Yuanqing brushed aside the Golden Haired Doggy's little paws from her waist and moved Charlotte's thighs off her. She got up precisely at six o'clock, picked up the pajamas she had tossed on the sofa, put them on, poked Xie Bao's waist, and pinched the Saintess's thighs to remind the two that it was time to get up. Then she used elemental magic to conceal her figure and went outside.
Although the Little Cotton-padded Jacket had awakened her Supernatural Senses, they were limited to perceiving undisguised magic, just like how she used to vaguely sense the Heart Tide of her teammates.
However, those with stable structures and expertise in concealed magical techniques can largely ignore this basic Supernatural Senses.
Well, let alone the most overpowered rule-based and concept-based magic, even low-level elemental and mental spells are exempt from this kind of novice-level observation.
Therefore, unless the Little Cotton-padded Jacket learns detection techniques or her Supernatural Senses evolve to the point of being able to see the whole picture from a single leaf, it would be incredibly easy for this couple to avoid being exposed.
It can only be said that Charlotte underestimated her daughter yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been just like the magic Chu Yuanqing used to conceal her in the coffee shop, which could have combined invisibility and soundproofing, and even created an illusion outside, without leaving any flaws.
Having experienced yesterday's social crisis, Chu Yuanqing has learned her lesson and reminded herself not to make the same mistake. She is determined to use magic to protect her and Charlotte's image in her daughter's heart!
Therefore, the Pure White Witch was extremely cautious. She not only got up at six o'clock, but also used magic to conceal her figure all the way back to her room silently. After washing up and changing clothes, she immediately went to the glass dining room, which was like a sunroom, took out her phone, and secretly urged Charlotte not to stay in bed.
And a short while later,
Xie Qingxuan took the lead and sat down next to him. She was in excellent condition. Her already fair and smooth skin was even more beautiful in the bright sunlight. Her long and thick eyelashes blinked, and her dark eyes looked at Chu Yuanqing, slightly wet, like a puppy's.
Chu Yuanqing found her appearance both adorable and soft, and couldn't help but stroke her platinum blonde hair. However, the Golden Haired Doggy seized the opportunity and planted a kiss on her cheek, allowing him to passively relive the soft, rose-like lips of hers in the early morning.
The Pure White Witch's heart pounded with fear. She instinctively used magic to shield her surroundings, then looked around to make sure her daughter wasn't there. Only after confirming she hadn't seen her daughter did she place her fingertip on Xie Qingxuan's lips and earnestly instruct him:
"Xiao Xuan! In the future, when you do things like this, you must pay attention to your surroundings and make sure Xiao Shu doesn't see you!"
Xie Qingxuan nodded obediently. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Liuli Cat Cat coming down the stairs in the distance, her eyes still sleepy. She simply put Chu Yuanqing's fingertip, which was touching his lips, into her mouth.
Then, the Golden Haired Doggy's eyes became misty, and seizing the opportunity when the other party was confused, it grabbed that slender white wrist, leaned in, blocked the target, and briefly Magic Replenishment.
Tang Liuli walked to the "empty" dining table, and just as she sensed something was amiss, their lips parted.
Chu Yuanqing wiped her lips with a tissue, her small face serious as she told Xie Qingxuan to sit back in her original seat, feeling somewhat exhausted.
Then, she decisively dispelled the spell, startling the bewildered Social Anxiety Cat into a frenzy.
Tang Liuli noticed Xie Qingxuan's moist lips in just a second. Based on her past experience, and looking at his completely innocent and calm expression that seemed to take it for granted, she had already figured out what had just happened.
Green Eyed Cat puffed out her cheeks. Sitting on the other side of Chu Yuanqing, she felt that Xie Qingxuan must have deliberately done such a bad thing in front of her. It was simply too much. She glared at him angrily.
Unfortunately, this gaze, devoid of any intimidation, only prompted the Golden Haired Doggy to look back and ask in confusion:
"Does Liuli want a kiss too?"
Xie Qingxuan said earnestly:
"Sure, Xiao Shu hasn't arrived yet, so Xiao Qing won't refuse Liuli."
A question mark popped into Chu Yuanqing's head; she felt like she had been kidnapped by this lecherous dog.
Tang Liuli was shamefully moved, and she said coyly:
"Xiao Qing, the toothpaste I used today is grapefruit and white tea flavored, it smells really good."
Chu Yuanqing felt she couldn't keep going like this. If she was any slower and Yayoi or Charlotte saw her, she would have to repeat the process again, and sooner or later her Little Cotton-padded Jacket would notice. So she simply gave Liuli a quick kiss on Liuli lips, lingering for a few seconds before stopping abruptly after tasting the grapefruit and white tea flavor.
Xie Qingxuan watched the whole process and exclaimed in surprise:
"Xiao Qing, you're so skilled."
Whose problem do you think this is?!
Chu Yuanqing was about to get angry and embarrassed. She really wanted to bully the other person, but she was afraid that it would accidentally become a reward.
After much deliberation, the girl could only pick up a piece of soft bread from the plate, tear it off, and stuff it into the Golden Haired Doggy's mouth until its cheeks bulged, only then did she feel a sense of peace.
On the other side, the Green Eyed Cat, who had been easily dealt with, looked on with envy and longed to be fed.
Well, this resulted in Little Sakura and the Saintess arriving at the restaurant to find the Pure White Witch feeding cats and dogs with a spoon, a heartwarming scene that made people wonder if they were filming some kind of "cute pet" program.
"Xiao Qing, I want you to feed me too!"
After Charlotte sat down, she spoke her willful words with a self-righteous air.
Kiriwake Yayoi smoothed her skirt, looked around at the Little Idol, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Xiao Qing isn't everyone's mother, so it's best if she does these things herself."
"Speaking of which, hasn't Xiao Shu gotten up yet?"
It was now exactly seven o'clock, and the five people had all taken their seats. The only one who hadn't arrived was Chu Wangshu, who was usually the earliest and most self-disciplined, which made everyone feel a little strange.
Chu Yuanqing didn't think much of it. Yesterday, Xiao Shu had been staying at their place for special meals until almost midnight, so she didn't go home until three or four hours later than usual. It was normal for her to stay in bed a little longer today.
Chu Yuanqing smiled optimistically as she gently wiped the cat's mouth with a tissue, saying:
"They should arrive soon."
Sure enough, about five minutes later,
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket, with unsteady steps, sat down beside the group. She looked listless, her eyelids drooping, as if she hadn't slept well. She seemed to be in a daze while drinking her milk, her focus unfocused, with a kind of adorable, clumsy charm like a fledgling.
Charlotte was overcome with maternal instincts. She sat down next to her daughter and, taking advantage of her daughter's dazed state, touched and hugged her. If it weren't for her exceptional beauty and charm, this behavior would have been extremely suspicious.
Chu Yuanqing was also charmed. She secretly took out her phone to take pictures. After taking a few sets of photos, the Golden Haired Doggy and Green Eyed Cat next to her came over to join the shot, so she simply included Little Sakura in the picture as well, taking a family photo. After having her Little Idol next to her edit the photos, she happily posted them on Weibo.
The caption was quite simple. "Good morning, everyone is so lovely!"
Well, actually only the first half of that sentence was addressed to the fans; the second half was about the Little Idol and their daughter.
But in Little Yuan Xiao's eyes, this sentence was simply Qing Bao praising herself, so much so that the crazy commenters in the comment section couldn't beat the fans who were as pure and kind as angels. This made all the comments on this Weibo particularly heartfelt, and even the magic of the feedback was exceptionally strong.
Chu Yuanqing was unaware of this delightful misunderstanding. After taking the photos, she touched her daughter's hair and asked with concern:
"Did Xiao Shu not sleep well last night? She looks very tired. Why don't you go back to sleep for a while?"
Kiriwake Yayoi also suggested:
"If you don't sleep well, your training efficiency will be greatly reduced, so Xiao Shu can't push herself too hard."
Avoiding the gazes of Charlotte and Qing Bao, Chu Wangshu lowered her head and whispered:
"I... I'm fine! I'll just have breakfast."
The Green Eyed Cat tilted its head and looked at the Little Cotton-padded Jacket for a while, then sensed something was wrong and became wary.
Xiao Shu, you didn't guess they had a music party, did you?!
After getting over the grogginess of waking up, Chu Wangshu focused on eating. She didn't dare look at her two favorite and closest Little Idol next to her, afraid that she might accidentally recall their husky voices, feeling both ashamed and embarrassed. It wasn't until she was halfway through her meal that she finally couldn't hold back anymore.
The Little Cotton-padded Jacket looked up at the two of them, took a deep breath, and couldn't contain her curiosity, so she asked:
"Sister Charlotte, Xiao Qing, when did you two get together?"

Once this statement was made...
