Chapter 317
Xiao Qiu was speechless. She tapped Chen Xiaoxia on the head with her phone. "Don't do this kind of thing when someone has lost their memory! Delete the video right now!"
"Ugh! I don't want to! It's rare to see this guy like this..."
"No means no!"
Xiao Qiu firmly refused.
Chen Xiaoxia's expression fell, but she still prepared to delete the videos on her phone as Xiao Qiu had told her.
But just as Chen Xiaoxia was about to delete the video—
"Xiao Qiu... Sister...?"
Xiao Bai looked at Xiao Qiu, tilted his head, and called out to her softly.
"!!?"
Xiao Qiu's eyes widened in that instant, becoming bigger than copper bells.
She turned her head sharply and met Xiao Bai's eyes, which were now completely clear and pure.
After staring at each other for a long time, Xiao Qiu asked, "What... what did you just call me...?"
"Xiao Qiu... Sister...?"
In that instant, Xiao Qiu clutched her heart.
She felt as if her heart had been struck a heavy blow!
Seeing Xiao Qiu's behavior, Chen Xiaoxia leaned closer with a teasing look, gently nudged Xiao Qiu with her elbow, and whispered:
"Should the video be deleted?"
"Of course... after all, this kind of thing is... wrong!"
"Oh?" Xiaoxia raised an eyebrow, her fingers moving slightly as she tapped the video she had just recorded. Xiao Bai's voice came from it.
'Sister Xiao Qiu ~'
"!!"
Xiao Qiu clutched her heart again.
Xiaoxia leaned closer mischievously and asked, "... Should I delete it?"
"Wait... wait a minute!"
Driven by her own 'shameful' Desire, Xiao Qiu ultimately succumbed to the evil forces. Trembling, she took out her phone and said to Xiaoxia:
"Just this one! Keep only this one! Delete the rest! This is wrong!"
Yes, yes, yes.
Xiaoxia didn't say anything, and casually sent the video she was holding to Xiao Qiu's phone.
I'm sorry, Xiao Bai! I'm truly ashamed that I succumbed to my Desire...
As Xiao Qiu received the recording, she silently repented in her heart.
Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 345 The Unique Treasure
(Ah! My sister Bai! I'm dead!)
(So cute! So cute! So cute!)
(Stella! Although I don't quite like you yet, you did a good thing!)
(Well done! This is a stunning view! Well done!!)
Xiao Bai:"..."
Her gaze shifted from the Sky Screen, swept around her surroundings, and she asked softly:
Where is Xiaoxia?
"Um... he hasn't come back from the restroom yet..."
Xiao Qiu answered for her, then looked cautiously at Xiao Bai: "... Are you angry?"
No.
The Xiao Bai- skinned man forced a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.
Xiao Qiu was a little incredulous. "... Really?"
"Of course, I just didn't expect you to have such a quirk." Xiao Bai glanced at Xiao Qiu.
"No, no, no, I... I didn't! I just... um... anyway, it's Xiaoxia's fault!"
Xiao Qiu tried to explain, Xiao Qiu failed, and then tried to shift the blame.
But this can't be blamed on Xiao Qiu. Even Xiao Bai herself felt as if her heart had been struck when she heard herself on the Sky Screen calling out to Xiao Qiu.
Of course, it's probably because Xiao Bai listens to the same type of sounds every day, so she has a high resistance to it. In addition, her expression is somewhat blank, which is why she doesn't reveal her 'hobby' to others.
Therefore, Xiao Qiu's reaction is understandable.
"We'll deal with her when Xiaoxia gets back."
Xiao Bai concluded.
She didn't believe Chen Xiaoxia could hide in the bathroom forever.
She'll come back someday, right?
Considering her behavior on the Sky Screen this time, coupled with her previous actions in the 'Wish Book,' she's committed multiple offenses, and Xiao Bai feels it's time to teach her a lesson.
"... What are you two doing?"
Xiao Chun came out of the kitchen carrying dinner and, seeing the two of them, made a similar complaint to Xiao Qiu's earlier.
Xiao Qiu stepped forward and hugged Xiao Bai, gently rubbing her cheeks with her own, then answered Xiao Chun's question:
"I just think Xiao Bai looks so cute..."
"Hmph, that's when she's actually a bit cute," Xiaoxia deliberately contradicted.
"Once she regains her memory, I wonder how she'll start arguing with me."
As Xiaoxia spoke, she poked Xiao Bai's cheek with her finger.
Xiao Bai felt a little uncomfortable from being poked, so she shrank slightly towards Xiao Qiu and whispered to Xiaoxia:
"... Sister Xiaoxia, please don't do this..."
"!!!" Chen Xiaoxia immediately stopped what she was doing. She looked at her fingers, then looked up at Xiao Bai, who was staring at her innocently, and suddenly turned to her companions and said:
"... Maybe we should just leave Xiao Bai like this forever! Oh dear--"
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Chun delivered a solid chop to her forehead.
Xiao Chun said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? The Erosive Power on Xiao Bai's body hasn't been resolved yet. What if she gets completely corrupted by the Erosive Power if we don't help her regain her memories?"
"I was just saying... after all, this Xiao Bai is really cute..."
Chen Xiaoxia muttered to herself.
Without a doubt, Chen Xiaoxia was also captivated by Xiao Bai's current appearance.
"... Xiao Bai, is it really possible to regain your memories?"
Xiao Qiu held Xiao Bai, gently stroking Xiao Bai's silver hair, and looked up at her companions, asking a question.
Xiaoxia and Xiao Chun remained silent for a moment. Xiaoxia replied:
"Probably...?"
"But, Xiao Bai burned all our memories of her, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't have forgotten her. And even now, it seems... we haven't been able to recall anything from the past related to her..."
This is what Xiao Qiu is really worried about.
Xiao Qiu is now absolutely certain that she and Xiao Bai were once friends, and may even have been inseparable confidants.
The original trio should have been a group of four. In fact, Xiao Bai and Xiao Qiu may have been childhood friends, and their relationship is probably even closer than that of Xiaoxia, whom they met in elementary school.
But to this day, Xiao Qiu can't recall any memories of the past related to Xiao Bai no matter what she tries.
This worried Xiao Qiu a lot. She was worried that Xiao Bai would never be able to regain her lost memories, and that Xiao Bai would always be like this, never able to find her memories again.
"Then I will always take care of her."
Fang Ming also walked over at this moment and said to everyone.
He had clearly overheard the Magical Girls' conversation.
He placed the prepared food on the table and earnestly said to Xiao Qiu:
"Because she is my sister, even if she never regains her memory, I will take care of her."
"Wow! Fang Ming, that was so cool!"
Chen Xiaoxia gave Fang Ming a thumbs up.
Xiao Chun said worriedly, "Leaving aside memories for now, the main problem is that we have no way of knowing the extent of Xiao Bai's corruption. What if Xiao Bai is severely corrupted..."
"Yes, that is indeed a problem." Xiaoxia nodded seriously.
Fang Ming smiled and said to everyone, "But as things stand, there aren't any problems, are there? The most important thing facing you now is the newly appeared Demons, isn't it?"
"Since Xiao Bai doesn't have any answers right now, let's wait until we've dealt with the Demons before figuring out a way to help her. For now..."
Fang Ming pointed to the dinner on the table. "Shall we eat first?"
The world is vast, but the belly is the biggest.
Whether it's Xiao Bai's matter or the recent issues related to the Demons, we'll have to wait until after dinner to deal with them.
Everyone composed themselves and went to have dinner.
After dinner, Xiao Qiu and the others went out on their night patrol as usual, while Fang Ming stayed home to take care of Xiao Bai.
Although we didn't encounter Demons all day, it doesn't mean Demons won't appear tonight; the usual patrols still need to be conducted.
The patrol assignments will be carried out as arranged yesterday.
Xiao Chun brought Nino, Xiao Qiu brought Dongdong.
Xiaoxia was with Aurora.
This is the team that Xiao Chun assigned yesterday, so that Xiao Chun wouldn't run into Aurora by herself.
Since they don't really like each other right now, it's better for them to separate to avoid another argument.
In contrast to Xiao Chun and Aurora's mutual dislike, Xiaoxia and Aurora get along quite well.
Perhaps because they were both straightforward and honest people, they became friends in a short period of time.
"Wow! I didn't know Brother Fang Ming was so amazing!"
"Yeah, that uncle is amazing! He took care of all those gangsters with guns in no time!" Aurora mimicked Fang Ming's movements from back then, and then said:
"I became his apprentice because I saw how skilled he was in martial arts."
"Brother Fang Ming is very good at hiding this side of himself. I've known him for so long, and I never knew he had this side to him."
Xiaoxia pinched her chin, feeling an urge to spar with Fang Ming.
She wanted to see whether Fang Ming was more powerful or she, who had learned martial arts from her father for several years, was more powerful.
If Fang Ming is really better than me... then could I ask him to teach me a few moves? Then I could go back and teach that jerk of a father who bullies me because of his physical advantage a lesson.
Xiaoxia thought about it more and more and felt that this matter had great potential!
"But speaking of which..." Aurora paused, then suddenly asked Xiaoxia, seemingly casually, "What's with that green thing?"
"Huh? You mean Xiao Chun? By the way, why did you and Xiao Chun have a fight? Can you tell me now?"
Xiaoxia asked Aurora this question yesterday.
But Aurora brushed it off with the excuse that "it's not good to talk bad about people behind their backs."
Xiaoxia didn't quite understand why Aurora said that at the time, and she still doesn't quite understand now, but considering that her relationship with Aurora is pretty good now, she simply asked the question again.
Actually, Xiaoxia asked Xiao Chun the same question today, but Xiao Chun didn't say anything.
"... This is something I can't tell you!"
However, unlike yesterday, Aurora refused to answer Xiaoxia's questions today without any hesitation.
