After Becoming Enemies with Magical Girls, They Started Chasing Me Back

Chapter 88: Sleeping Until Dawn!!!

"Cough... thanks."

In the end, Luo Xiyan still gave a sincere reply. A faint blush inexplicably rose to her face as she did not know how to express her gratitude to Ling Feng.

With words? Or with a hug?

Ever since becoming a Magical Girl, she seemed to have gained the power to change her own fate.

"Other than Su Xiaoxiao, you're the first person to care about me this much."

"So let me help you!"

Seeing Luo Xiyan open up, Ling Feng pressed on.

"Mm."

Luo Xiyan nodded lightly, then pointed toward the bathroom.

"Before that, please take a shower, then lie on the bed and wait for me."

"But I don't have any clothes to change into..."

At that, Ling Feng paused. "On the bed?"

What the hell?!

Ling Feng jolted in fright. He had no idea what this girl was planning.

No, he had definitely gotten the wrong idea!

"It's fine. Wear mine for now."

Luo Xiyan took out a set of her pajamas, then gently nudged Ling Feng into the bathroom with tiny steps.

Ling Feng did not even know how to react to Luo Xiyan's actions.

Taking advantage of the break, she used a hairdryer to dry her hair.

Actually, for people with Destiny Signs, bathing was not necessary at all. They could simply change into a fresh set of clothes; it was mainly about the feeling.

Who could resist taking a comfortable hot shower after a tiring day?

His math teacher had once said that the process mattered most.

Even if your answer was wrong, you would still get points for writing out the correct steps.

But if you only had the answer, you might not get a single point. They might even suspect you of cheating...

All right, that was getting off topic~

After being pushed into the bathroom, the rushing hot water made Ling Feng feel as though he had been cut off from the entire world. He showered for a long time.

And he had to change into someone else's pajamas afterward. That was way too embarrassing.

Ling Feng could even smell the faint fragrance on them. The loose, pale pink outfit gave him an almost ethereal look.

What was even more ridiculous was that he felt a little excited after putting it on.

By the time Ling Feng came out of the bathroom, Luo Xiyan was already seated before an exquisite square table by the bed.

The several canvases that had been there before had disappeared. In their place stood a top-of-the-line SV laptop and a black board.

A drawing tablet? Ling Feng thought. He remembered using one when he had studied digital painting before.

"You'll sleep on the bed tonight."

Seeing Ling Feng approach, Luo Xiyan said it directly. Perhaps because the two had become much more familiar, she no longer sounded as reserved as before.

That was good, though. It instead made Ling Feng feel a trace of closeness.

"Then what about you?" Ling Feng asked.

"I'll just sleep on the floor."

Luo Xiyan replied while operating the computer, as though she did not care about the subject at all.

But Ling Feng was even more speechless. What kind of host slept on the floor while letting her guest take the bed? He immediately held himself back.

"You..."

"Don't talk. Didn't you say you wanted to help me? You can help me now. Get on the bed."

"Huh?" Ling Feng had no idea how that was supposed to help her. Was lying on the bed all he needed to do?

"Um..."

"I can do it myself..."

Luo Xiyan directly pushed Ling Feng onto the bed, startling him, then had him pose on his side in a somewhat hazy position.

Anyone who did not know better would think this was the prelude to that sort of thing!

Miss, could you be a little more serious?!

"Mm, this is fine."

Luo Xiyan returned to her seat, picked up her pen, and began drawing on the tablet.

Every stroke seemed deliberate yet casual. Between each line, Luo Xiyan appeared so "solemn" and focused.

She usually used digital painting to draw things like illustrations and comics.

She concentrated on her drawing. From her elegant posture, one could feel her love and pursuit of art.

Quiet and graceful, sometimes furrowing her brow, sometimes relaxing it. It was pleasing to the eye.

Ling Feng was so absorbed in watching that he became slightly dazed. He more or less understood what Luo Xiyan was doing. Perhaps this was what a dream was?

Noticing that Ling Feng was distracted, Luo Xiyan immediately reminded him.

"Please look at me properly."

"Oh, sorry."

Realizing something was off, Ling Feng hurriedly gathered his thoughts.

This was so awkward.

Luo Xiyan adjusted the drawing tablet again and lightly brushed it. With a focused expression, she carefully depicted the scenery before her, first sketching it in plain ink, her pen flowing like drifting clouds and running water.

But the scene she was drawing was completely different from what was happening right then. She merely needed a person to inspire her imagination.

Following Luo Xiyan's instructions, Ling Feng reclined sideways on the brocaded soft couch, white as scattered snow. Even in sleep, the cloudlike melancholy gathered between his brows could not be erased.

With his eyes closed, a trace of pain showed on his stunning face.

Luo Xiyan noticed it and fell into thought. She unconsciously frowned but said nothing.

At some point, Ling Feng woke only after hearing Luo Xiyan's voice.

Looking at the girl before him, still as focused as she had been earlier, Ling Feng felt a little embarrassed.

"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep."

"Phew, it's done~"

Luo Xiyan let out a breath, sounding relieved and happy. Ling Feng was happy to hear it too.

At least it proved she was in a good mood~

At that moment, Ling Feng had yet to notice the sunlight shining through the curtains.

"By the way, what time is it now?" Ling Feng asked blankly.

"Now? Let me see... it seems to be after six..."

"What the hell?!" Ling Feng could not help crying out. "So you drew all night??"

"Mm."

Hearing Luo Xiyan's answer, Ling Feng was completely dumbfounded. Had he fallen asleep without realizing it?

That was such a rip-off!

Extra: Mid-Autumn Festival

Flipping through the thinning calendar was like turning over memories covered in tear stains. The full moon of Mid-Autumn hung with crystalline silver dew, sliding into one's eyes from the opening page of the days and splashing up pale sorrow.

Another Mid-Autumn Festival, another time when one had no choice but to stand on a beach washed by moonlit waves and gaze into the distance, waiting for Chang'e's beauty.

The morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival seemed no different from usual, unchanged despite the special holiday.

Ling Feng was still lying in bed while the phone on the table beside him rang nonstop.

Most of the messages on his phone were greetings celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, flooding WeChat with over 99 notifications.

"Damn it! It's a rare Mid-Autumn break! Can't you people give me a moment of peace?!"

Ling Feng sprang out of bed and pointed at his phone as he shouted.

He was so loud that even Ling Xiaoyu, who was downstairs preparing breakfast, could hear him. Had he had a nightmare first thing in the morning?

Coming back to his senses, Ling Feng picked up his phone and immediately opened WeChat to check the messages.

[Zhao Ping: Ling Feng, want to come hang out for Mid-Autumn Festival? I even prepared mooncakes, five-kernel filling! What do you think?]

[Yuwen: Little Feng, want the few of us to pull an all-nighter together during the Mid-Autumn break?]

[Tang Ling: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Hehe, how about we exchange mooncakes next time we're at school?]

[Liu Yinxuan: Classmate Ling, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~]

[Lan Yuxin: Little Feng, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~]

[Su Yun: Hello~ Is the great Astral Mark Girl going to keep partying with Yuwen and the others tonight?]

[Ling Wanqing: Brother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Let's save the world together!]

[Lin Ruoxi: Brother Ling Feng, happy Mid-Autumn Festival~ Want to go out and have fun with us today?]

[Qiu Yun'er: Classmate Ling Feng, I want to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival with you~]

[Lin Danyue: It's Mid-Autumn Festival today. Does Blueberry Jam have time to come back to the shop? We're holding an event, and there are cute bunnies too. You'll definitely love them~]

[Ye Qingya: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Blueberry Jam~]

[Bai Chuting: Brother Ling Feng, want to come to my house? It'll just be Xiaoxi and me~ We can eat mooncakes together!]

[Su Xiaoxiao: Ling Feng, happy Mid-Autumn Festival! Guess where I am right now, hehe~]

[Luo Xiyan: Can you spend this Mid-Autumn Festival with me?]

Looking at the full row of messages, Ling Feng had no idea how to reply.

Helplessly, he could only explain things to them one by one, and he had to consider their feelings too.

Sigh, this was kind of troublesome (>﹏<)

Zhao Ping and the others wanted to pull another all-nighter, and then there were all these girls.

Was this life?

When he saw Su Xiaoxiao's message again, Ling Feng froze for a moment.

"How would I know where you are? I'm not your mother."

Just then, Ling Feng heard someone shouting from outside the window.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar.

Ling Feng got up and pulled open the curtains. Sure enough, he saw two beautiful figures downstairs.

"Hehe! Didn't expect this, did you??"

Su Xiaoxiao stood below the door with a smug smile, as if she had predicted this exact expression Ling Feng would make upon seeing them.
