Chased by Magical Girls After Becoming Their Enemy

Even Luo Xiyan, standing beside them, smiled and waved at him.

Aside from his surprise, Ling Feng could only sigh.

After quickly washing up and changing into a clean, handsome outfit, he headed out under Ling Xiaoyu's helpless gaze.

Sure enough, the moment Ling Feng stepped outside, he saw those two from earlier.

Wasn't this a little too early?

Su Xiaoxiao and Luo Xiyan were both wearing youthful, eye-catching JK uniforms today. Ling Feng felt a little embarrassed walking beside them.

Even though it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone on the street still looked at him with nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment~

Su Xiaoxiao wore a pure white shirt, while her blue jacket was decorated with a ring of golden tassels. The handmade tailoring gave it the feel of a blue-and-white sailor uniform, making her look even cuter.

Luo Xiyan wore a pink-and-white pleated JK skirt, with a light pink dress and bow tie, along with white stockings that stretched deep out of sight. She was the very picture of pure temptation!

Combined with her peerless beauty, an ordinary person would probably fall for her at a single glance.

"Hey, aren't you going to take us somewhere to have fun?" Su Xiaoxiao asked brightly, seemingly because today was a special day.

"Together?"

"Of course. Xiyan's paying for everything today! We just need to have fun!"

"Ah... how could I possibly accept that..." Ling Feng said awkwardly.

"As long as you're happy~"

A faint smile rested on Luo Xiyan's face, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

Now the envy, jealousy, and resentment Ling Feng received from passersby instantly multiplied several times over.

Ling Feng did not even know whether he should be worried or happy~

For the rest of the day, the three of them dove straight into a leisurely stretch of entertainment.

They ate, shopped, watched movies, shopped and ate some more, went to amusement parks, museums, parks, art exhibitions, musicals, and escape rooms...

After less than half a day, Ling Feng was nearly exhausted to death. They had also bought who knew how many souvenirs. Thankfully, he dealt with them all using magic in the end.

By evening, red lanterns could already be seen hanging high along the streets.

Whenever the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, all sorts of lanterns in different shapes and colors would be hung throughout southern regions. Some were handmade, while others were mass-produced in factories.

Under their parents' guidance, children would make their favorite lanterns early on... Lanterns primarily served as lighting, but they were also symbols of happiness and reunion, representing a family's peace and safety throughout the year.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Worship Festival, Moon Festival, Reunion Festival, and more, was a traditional Chinese folk holiday. The fullness of the moon symbolized human reunion, carrying people's longing for their hometowns and loved ones. Since ancient times, the festival had included customs such as worshipping the moon, admiring the moon, lighting lanterns, and eating mooncakes, traditions that had endured to this day.

Yet the most iconic thing was still the mooncake. As a traditional Mid-Autumn Festival food, mooncakes let visitors learn about festival customs while experiencing the fun of making them. Making floral lanterns and solving lantern riddles also drew many children in, allowing them to feel the rich holiday atmosphere through hands-on activities.

The mooncakes they had bought today alone came in no fewer than dozens of flavors.

Could they finish them all? That was what Ling Feng was worried about now.

"What do you want to eat tonight?"

Before they knew it, it was already seven o'clock. Luo Xiyan looked at Ling Feng, whose face showed a hint of fatigue, and asked softly.

"Mooncakes!"

"Street food!"

Ling Feng and Su Xiaoxiao shouted almost at the same time. Ling Feng felt that buying so many mooncakes only to waste them would be a shame, so he decisively gave his answer.

"Hehe~ Ling Feng, you've made a tactical mistake. Xiyan will definitely choose mine~" Su Xiaoxiao confidently glanced at Ling Feng, clearly placing great faith in the bond between friends, before adding,

"Come on, genius. Who eats mooncakes for dinner? At a time like this, we should go grab some skewers~ What do you think, Xiyan?"

"Mooncakes." Luo Xiyan gave her answer without even thinking.

"That's more like it~... Wait, no! Xiyan, did you say the wrong thing??"

Su Xiaoxiao froze for a moment, apparently not expecting Luo Xiyan to answer so decisively.

"If Xiaofeng wants mooncakes, then we'll eat mooncakes."

When Luo Xiyan said that, even Ling Feng was moved. This was true love!

"Xiyan, you actually betrayed me! By age, I'm your older sister, aren't I? Boohoo~ I've been abandoned~"

Su Xiaoxiao pretended to be heartbroken and wiped away tears before receiving a phone call.

"Hello?"

"What?! Right now? Okay, okay, I'll be there right away! Wait for me!"

After hurriedly hanging up, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly put on an excited little expression.

"Hehe~ Zhao Ping and the others invited me to play games with them. How about it? Want to come too, genius?"

"No, no need."

Ling Feng replied awkwardly. He had thought Su Xiaoxiao was genuinely crying just now and had nearly been scared to death.

"Then that's it, bye-bye (＾ω＾). Hehe, you stay with Xiyan so she doesn't get too bored and go to a bar by herself again~"

After Su Xiaoxiao left, only Ling Feng and Luo Xiyan remained.

"What? Weren't we going to eat mooncakes?" Luo Xiyan said gently to Ling Feng.

"Of course. I know a place. Want me to take you there?"

"Sure. As long as I'm with you, anywhere is the same."

Luo Xiyan said it without the slightest hesitation, smiling all the while. Ling Feng did not even know how to respond.

As night fell, stars filled the sky and blinked down at them. The bright moon seemed to have long guessed their thoughts; she drew back the curtain of night and revealed her smiling face.

At that moment, the moon was so gentle, softly scattering her golden light across the earth and pouring it into every corner.

At night, the embankment at Blue Mountain Park was still lined with drooping willows, while the river breeze blew gently, cool and pleasant.

Beside the park pond came the soft murmurs of the Meijiang River. On one side, branches of every kind swayed gracefully within the park, and the night grew ever more beautiful.

At that moment, two people sat facing each other in a pavilion. One was as beautiful and graceful as a fairy, while the young man sitting across from her seemed long accustomed to it.

Ling Feng took out all the mooncakes they had bought earlier and placed them on the smooth stone table, preparing for the two of them to enjoy them together.

There still seemed to be a little too many mooncakes. Ling Feng should have made Su Xiaoxiao take more.

"There are so many. If we can't finish them, we can only take them back and put them in the fridge. We can't just throw them away. That would be too wasteful."

Ling Feng sighed, grabbed one, and started eating.

Mmm... it was five-nut filling!

"Huh? Xiyan, you're not eating? It seemed like you barely ate anything all day."

"Um... I brought some osmanthus wine. Do you want to drink some together...?"

Luo Xiyan seemed somewhat hesitant when she spoke, but she still took out several bottles of brewed wine and placed them on the table.

The moment Ling Feng saw them, his entire demeanor changed. Seeing his expression, Luo Xiyan became a little nervous, and an inexplicable flush appeared on her face.

"You promised me."

"Well, since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival today, can I just have one bottle?"

When Ling Feng did not react, Luo Xiyan became even more embarrassed. She naturally knew he was doing it for her own good.

But she still could not quite resist...

"I was wrong. I'll put them away, okay?"

"Mm."

"Sigh~"

Luo Xiyan sighed, casually picked up a mooncake, and began chewing it slowly.

"Sigh, sorry. I made you angry." Ling Feng finally sighed as well.

"Huh? I'm not angry."

"You're obviously angry."

"No, no. How could I possibly be angry with Xiaofeng?"

"Nonsense. You're angry."

"Do I look angry to you?"

"..."

Ling Feng was speechless.

The answer was written all over her face, okay~

The First Change

After sleeping in a girl's bed for an entire night, Ling Feng felt that something about it was just wrong no matter how he thought about it.

It was too embarrassing, too awkward.

Just imagine it: a girl invited you over to her house to hang out, but while you were hanging out, you ended up falling asleep in her bed. What was that supposed to count as?

The key was that she had sat beside his bed all night. Did she not need rest? The more Ling Feng thought about it, the guiltier he felt.

But Luo Xiyan herself had been rather engrossed. In any case, she was already used to it, so it did not affect her much.

She had already obtained her material, and she was in an excellent mood now, spacing out again.

As for what she was spacing out about, she was actually wondering why Ling Feng had turned off the lights when he showered yesterday.

If Ling Feng knew what Luo Xiyan was thinking, he might be stunned to death.

Other than unnecessary physical contact, Ling Feng still considered himself very self-disciplined. He was not that kind of person.

"Um, thank you for yesterday."

Only after Ling Feng became a little more awake did he hurriedly offer his thanks. He was still drowsy, his eyes hazy.

But after waking up from this sleep, Ling Feng felt like he was back in action.

Generally speaking, certain feelings of sadness might merely be illusions of our own making, but no matter what, life was always difficult.

If one could only remain calm and composed under the sun, then when the heart was at its most exhausted, one should at least be allowed to rest for a while.

Luo Xiyan did not speak, but Ling Feng could sense a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

It was utterly confusing.

I seem to remember not doing anything, though? Ling Feng thought.

Afterward, Ling Feng quietly went to the bathroom to change clothes, transformed once through layering, then came out and prepared to say goodbye to Luo Xiyan.

Yet before he could speak, Luo Xiyan spoke first.

"Goodbye..."

Ling Feng froze when he heard that. She had seen through him again?

"Thank you..."

"Mm..."

As she blankly watched Ling Feng leave, an imperceptible smile crossed Luo Xiyan's lips.

Even she did not notice it. She only felt as though her mood were as bright as sunshine, wonderfully cheerful~

Luo Xiyan carefully folded up the pajamas Ling Feng had changed out of and put them away, with no intention of washing them.

In the early morning, golden fallen leaves carpeted both sides of the road, using their brief, departed years to decorate the street scene.

When he passed a vegetable market, people crowded shoulder to shoulder. Hawking cries and bargaining voices intertwined, adding a lively atmosphere to the market.

Car horns and the clamor of pedestrians filled the streets, turning the holiday roads into a boiling pot.

Only when he saw that familiar intersection did Ling Feng stop his hurried steps and walk straight toward the familiar breakfast stall.

"Two fried dough sticks and a cup of soy milk, please."
