Being Pursued by Magical Girls After Becoming Their Enemy

Alright, it really was pretty cold...

But that probably wasn't what she truly felt, right? Ling Feng thought without hesitation.

Luo Xiyan didn't say another word along the way, because even she didn't know what she could say.

It seemed Ling Feng was too embarrassed to speak as well.

After the elevator rose an unknown number of floors, the two arrived outside a room.

Just then, Ling Feng's phone rang again. He casually glanced at it—it was Ling Xiaoyu calling again.

As he considered whether to answer, Luo Xiyan spoke.

"If you don't want to answer, then don't. Follow your heart."

"Mm."

Ling Feng didn't think much about it and hung up directly. She was probably urging him to go back again; he didn't need to think to know that.

Yet just as he hung up, the phone immediately rang again. He had thought it was Ling Xiaoyu again, but it turned out to be someone else.

When he saw the caller's name, Ling Feng jolted. It was the mother from his memories—the one he had considered a cheap substitute mother. But now, his feelings seemed much more complicated.

While Ling Feng was still hesitating over whether to answer, Luo Xiyan directly took the phone from his hand and answered it?!

Ling Feng was completely dumbfounded.

Was this really okay?

Before Ling Feng could say anything, Luo Xiyan spoke first.

"Hello? Feng said she's in a bad mood today and doesn't want to go back. Could you please stop calling?" Luo Xiyan said in a slightly cold tone.

On the other end of the call, Fang Lin was visibly stunned when she heard the voice.

What was going on? Was Xiaofeng with a girl?

Fang Lin had originally been angry that Ling Feng planned to stay out all night, but for some reason, after hearing what the other person said, she was no longer as angry. She even felt a little...

Relieved??

"Um... young lady, what are you to Xiaofeng?" Fang Lin hurriedly asked.

"What am I?"

Luo Xiyan thought for a moment, then looked at Ling Feng. Even she didn't know what kind of relationship she had with him. They should count as friends, right?

"Oh, I'm her girlfriend."

After conducting a rational analysis, Luo Xiyan said it in an even tone.

There really was nothing wrong with that statement when analyzed, but Ling Feng was rendered speechless. Girl, did you know what you were saying?

"Really??"

"Mm."

Luo Xiyan's tone was utterly calm when she spoke.

But Fang Lin on the other end was incredibly excited, caught between surprise and delight. At the same time, Ling Feng stared at Luo Xiyan with an incredulous expression.

Her precious son had finally grown up.

Perhaps even Fang Lin herself hadn't realized that she had often lectured her son about puppy love back in middle school.

It was rather strange.

Noticing Ling Feng's odd look, Luo Xiyan was somewhat confused.

Had she said something wrong?

"Aren't we friends?" Luo Xiyan asked, sounding inexplicably disappointed.

"I've considered you a friend ever since we met last time!"

Ling Feng was also startled by Luo Xiyan's sudden question.

The way this girl spoke really seemed a little different from everyone else's, didn't it? Talking like that could easily cause misunderstandings, hey!

"So... where are you two right now?" Fang Lin pressed.

"Then what are you to Feng?"

Perhaps because of what Luo Xiyan had just said, Ling Feng's heart was racing now. He was at a loss, his mind a mess, not knowing what he was doing.

"I'm his mother," Fang Lin said frankly. They were bound to meet sooner or later anyway, weren't they?

"Y-you... you're Feng's mother?"

The moment Luo Xiyan finished speaking, Ling Feng froze.

Ling Feng had never seen Luo Xiyan speak so haltingly before. She was way too cute!

His heart practically melted. Seriously, this...

"Um, big sister? We're at a hotel right now."

"A ho—?!"

"Whoosh!" Before Fang Lin could finish, Ling Feng realized something was wrong, swiftly snatched back the phone, and hung up.

This was going to get him killed! Letting his mother know that he was in a hotel with a girl in the middle of the night—what was she supposed to think?!

After the call ended, Fang Lin stood there stunned for over ten seconds.

A hotel?!

Wasn't this a little too early, Xiaofeng?!

"What's wrong? You look completely enthralled. Did you win the lottery?" Father Luo sat on the sofa. Seeing Fang Lin standing there motionlessly, he lowered his newspaper and asked curiously.

"Heh, anyway, it's something worth celebrating."

"Mom, how did the call go? Is Xiaofeng coming back?"

At that moment, Ling Xiaoyu had just finished cutting fruit and came out of the kitchen carrying a fruit platter. She saw Fang Lin right after she ended the call.

She was planning to bring another plate upstairs to Ling Wanqing, who was reading comics.

"Xiaofeng has something important to do tonight, so don't worry about him~"

Ling Xiaoyu:??

Silence

Ling Xiaoyu was utterly confused. She had never expected her mother to react like that.

Something important? What could possibly be more important than going home first to see the parents he hadn't seen in over two years?

The scene shifted. Ling Feng had already been brought into a room by Luo Xiyan.

The first thing that met his eyes upon entering was a large white bed. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. Several thin canvases lay on the table, the sparse colors on them showing how little care their owner had put into them.

Sharp-eyed Ling Feng also noticed several sets of clothes folded on the bed, along with even some personal items?!

"This is your room, isn't it?"

Ling Feng had thought Luo Xiyan would arrange a separate room for him.

"Mm. Rest for a while first. I'm going to take a shower."

Luo Xiyan said it calmly, as though she didn't care in the slightest that a boy had appeared in her room.

It wasn't that she truly didn't care. If it had been an unfamiliar man in her room, he might never have made it out again~

Seeing that Luo Xiyan didn't seem to feel anything inappropriate about it, Ling Feng was speechless.

After Luo Xiyan put away the clothes on the bed, Ling Feng finally couldn't help speaking.

"Xiyan! Are you really not worried at all?"

"Worried? No."

After saying that in the same calm tone, Luo Xiyan walked into the bathroom.

She had grown accustomed to wandering through this city alone with wounds in tow. The gentle spring breeze, summer's shade, autumn's yellow leaves, winter's frost—she had counted them all, and they had all been dyed with bleakness.

Since this was fate, Luo Xiyan couldn't be bothered to change it. This was fine. She would just let things take their course~

But Ling Feng refused to give up, whether because he had promised Su Xiaoxiao he would help Luo Xiyan or because of his own true feelings.

Because the bathroom glass in the hotel room was somewhat transparent, Ling Feng could see the girl's graceful figure inside slowly removing her clothes—her shape and movements.

The sight nearly made Ling Feng spit out blood.

It possessed a hazy beauty, with an almost ethereal quality.

"No! What am I thinking?! Don't look at what is improper!"

Ling Feng felt his blood boiling all over. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to restrain himself.

Too seductive!

Was she really not worried?

Being this beautiful meant she should be even more careful!

Instead, Ling Feng stood on the balcony with a strange sense of frustration, letting the wind clear his head.

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Feng heard something and raised his head.

A slender hand like white jade lifted the curtain. Luo Xiyan walked in lightly, using one hand to dry her wet hair with a clean white towel.

She wore a white robe as light as gauze, as though she stood amid smoke and mist. Aside from her long pink hair, everything about her was snowy white, and her beauty was peerless.

After her shower, Luo Xiyan seemed to have gained another touch of fresh, lotus-like elegance.

When she looked at Ling Feng, her eyes were like autumn waters, carrying an indescribable tenderness and charm.

"Why are you being so restrained? Just treat this place like your own home."

As she spoke, Luo Xiyan began making the bed. There was even a faintly indulgent note in her tone?? It was baffling.

Yet her expression remained unchanged—calm and devoid of emotion.

After hearing that, Ling Feng no longer felt as restrained as before. Instead, he teased her.

"Are you sure?"

"Mm."

"..."

Ling Feng was speechless. He truly hadn't expected Luo Xiyan to agree so readily.

But that only strengthened his resolve!

"I'll definitely help you!"

"Help me with what?" Luo Xiyan asked. Thinking back to earlier, she finally remembered something. "Did Xiaoxiao tell you about me?"

"..."

"It's fine. I'm already used to it. I don't care about other people's..."

"I care!"

Ling Feng immediately cut her off, his tone resolute and almost impossible to question.

Luo Xiyan froze, distracted for a moment. She seemed not to have expected Ling Feng to be so insistent...

The two of them clearly had no real connection at all...

Why did he want to help her so badly?

Even Luo Xiyan's biological parents had never cared that much about her life.

As the Luo Conglomerate's first heir, her parents only knew how to cultivate her methods and abilities. They had never cared about her physical or emotional well-being.

From childhood, she had received the highest standard of education, leaving people her age far behind.

Luo Xiyan, who had long since gone numb, had already lost her own emotions and feelings. Faced with the strange looks of others, her state of mind had always remained the same.

At that moment, she suddenly fell silent.
