My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl!

Lu Ming wanted to say something, but in the end, he nodded vigorously.

Cao Guang was an old buddy too. Better not hurt his feelings.

Lu Ming got on the bus. He hadn't forgotten that he needed to pick Lu Annuan up from school. When they arrived at International Middle School, she happened to be waiting at the bus stop. Once she got on and saw Lu Ming, she sat down beside him.

"Your classmates didn't say anything this morning, did they?" Lu Ming asked.

"No, no. Wei Lihui doesn't come to our class anymore, either. Before, he'd block our classroom door the moment class ended. It was hard for me to even go get water." Lu Annuan hurriedly waved her hands, then added after thinking for a moment, "I've only said a few words to him. We're basically strangers."

Why were you in such a hurry to explain?

I didn't ask for that much detail.

Still, you said it, and I listened.

And it did put me in a pretty good mood.

Tell me more things you hate about him.

"That's good. Otherwise, if Uncle Lu asks, I won't be able to say I took good care of you," Lu Ming said.

"You haven't really taken good care of me anyway," Lu Annuan muttered softly.

Who said I hadn't? I even helped shut the bathroom door for you so no one could peep on you.

I personally guarded the bathroom door. If I weren't afraid you'd be too touched, I would've told you already.

Lu Ming said, "Let's get off at Happiness Road later. We can buy some fruit to take back."

Lu Annuan liked juicy fruit, things like watermelon and peaches.

"Sure, sure. There isn't any fruit at home either," Lu Annuan said with a smile.

Whose home did you just say?

Lu Annuan tapped her chin and said, "When I was training at school before, I felt like I couldn't land a triple jump. Maybe it was because I hadn't eaten bananas. This is a good chance to replenish myself."

"Can you say that?" Lu Ming hurriedly asked.

"Huh? Why can't I?" Lu Annuan asked curiously. "Our coach said bananas replenish potassium, maintain the heart muscle and blood pressure, and reduce nervous tension. Even Olympic athletes eat them!"

"It's nothing, nothing. I was overthinking it."

Lu Annuan used an iPhone and only played match-three games. It really was hard to explain certain things to her. But that was fine too. Better for her to stay away from the cesspits of the internet.

The two of them went to a fruit shop to pick out fruit. The owner said they could sample some.

Lu Ming picked up a plum from the layers of plums in a foam crate. "Boss, are these plums sweet?"

"They were delivered by truck this morning! If they're not sweet, you don't pay!" the owner said with a laugh.

"Oh, then give me two pounds of the unsweet ones first," Lu Ming said.

Hey, were you here to wreck the place?!

The owner panicked.

Lu Annuan stepped on Lu Ming's foot and hurriedly waved her hands. "Boss, he's joking!"

When the owner saw Lu Annuan, his expression immediately softened. "Oh, I see. It's fine, it's fine. Joke all you want."

The sight of a pretty girl even made the owner's tone gentler.

Lu Ming took the greenest plum, wiped it with his hand, and bit into it. The instant he took a bite, his hand jerked violently. It was so sour his teeth nearly went numb.

"Here. This one's sweet," Lu Ming said without changing expression as he handed it to Lu Annuan.

Lu Annuan took it without suspicion and bit into it. Her eyes instantly teared up from the sourness, and saliva practically flooded her mouth.

"Hey!" Lu Annuan snapped.

This guy was bullying her again!

He was always tricking her!

Why did she always fall for his tricks?!

She would never believe anything he said again!

Lu Ming picked up another fully ripened red plum and took a bite. Mm... now this was more like it. It was sweet enough to reach his heart.

"This one really is sweet," Lu Ming said, handing it to Lu Annuan.

"I don't believe you!" Lu Annuan crossed her arms and stuck out her tongue. Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell across her fair cheeks. Even her eyelashes caught the light as they trembled slightly.

"It really is sweet!"

Lu Annuan accepted it doubtfully and carefully took a bite. Her eyes immediately lit up as if stars had appeared in them. "It really is sweet!"

Lu Ming wasn't that bad after all!

"See? I didn't lie to you," Lu Ming said with a smile.

The owner watched the two young people in front of his stall with a complicated expression. They were only in high school, yet they could share the same plum without it seeming strange at all?

Wasn't the marriage rate declining lately? So you two were the ones keeping it afloat?

Lu Ming and Lu Annuan had grown up together. Sharing the same fruit was already a habit for both of them. Back in kindergarten, they had even often bathed together naked.

Lu Ming bought a small bag of plums, a bunch of bananas, and some peaches. The watermelons weren't ripe enough yet and wouldn't be sweet, so he would wait until summer to buy them.

They weren't far from home now, so there was no need to waste time waiting for a bus. The two of them planned to walk straight home.

Just then, Lu Ming saw the boy who had been pursuing Lu Annuan, Wei Lihui, get out of a BMW up ahead. Wei Lihui saw them too and walked over.

Time to fight!

Awesome!

What kind of BMW was that? It wasn't even as good as the least flashy car in Ran Yanyue's family. If she ever decided to show off her wealth, not many people in all of Haiyang could compare.

Lu Annuan puffed out her cheeks and whispered to Lu Ming, "Let's take the small road home. Don't talk to him."

"You go back first. I'll play with him a little, so he doesn't come bother you again later," Lu Ming said.

Judging from Wei Lihui's expression, he had clearly spent the whole day thinking and had decided he still had a chance.

Lu Annuan thought for a moment. "Don't fight."

"Got it." Lu Ming made an OK gesture.

A one-sided beating didn't count as a fight.

Lu Annuan left by the side road, while Wei Lihui walked straight toward Lu Ming.

"What's your relationship with Annuan?" Wei Lihui demanded.

"Who are you, man?" Lu Ming asked in confusion.

Wei Lihui's face turned red. "You stole my ball and took a shot this morning!"

That was the most humiliating shot of his life.

From the first moment he saw Lu Annuan, he knew she was definitely the girl he liked most. Not only was she beautiful, she was also a national-level youth athlete. People from wealthy families like his actually started choosing girls they liked early on, then married them right after graduation.

Lu Annuan was the girl he had chosen.

But she was a little too aloof. At school, she only spoke to the two girls she knew, and whenever he went to her classroom to find her, she often avoided him.

Still, Wei Lihui believed Lu Annuan would understand his sincerity sooner or later. After all, he was the only one worthy of her.

Until this morning.

Wei Lihui had only just discovered that Lu Annuan could smile so happily at a boy. They had even stood on the street drinking lemon tea together. When he had invited her for drinks before, she would simply wave her hand and say that as an athlete, she couldn't drink beverages with too much sugar.

Why did she treat Lu Ming and him so differently?!

Wei Lihui really couldn't hold it together anymore. He had never encountered such a setback in his life.

"Oh, so it was you." Lu Ming seemed to have only just remembered. Smiling, he said, "What is it? Annuan and I have to go home for dinner soon."

"Dinner? You even go to her house for dinner?" Wei Lihui's expression changed.

"Huh? You didn't know?" Lu Ming asked in confusion. "She lives in the room next to mine. We live together."

Lu Ming's innocent, puzzled expression completely broke Wei Lihui.

His moonlight goddess... was already living with someone!

"You! I challenge you to a duel!" Wei Lihui had gone mad with anger.

"You want to fight?" Lu Ming shook his head and sighed. "I advise you not to."

"I don't care what you—"

Wei Lihui angrily rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight Lu Ming.

Suddenly, Lu Ming's eyes shifted. He grabbed Wei Lihui by the collar and threw him onto the ground beside him. The force was so immense that Wei Lihui couldn't even resist, but his mouth was still stubborn as he cursed loudly:

"Lu, you fucking—"

Boom!

Before he could finish, he saw a car smash down where he had just been standing. Even the road shattered, and several Evil Beasts were rampaging not far away.

More Evil Beasts had appeared.

Lu Ming's expression turned serious.

Wei Lihui stared blankly, swallowed, and said, "Y-your clothes didn't get dirty, right? I can wash them for you."

So tough before, so polite afterward. What a complete coward!

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

"Get lost already." Lu Ming waved his hand.

"You're not leaving?" Wei Lihui hurriedly asked.

This was just a dispute between young men over a girl, but he really hadn't wanted anyone to die. They were already in high school. They definitely had that much basic morality.

"Lu Annuan is still nearby. I have to go find her," Lu Ming said.

Wei Lihui's expression changed. He looked deeply at Lu Ming and felt that he had truly lost to him.

When faced with such danger, his first reaction had been to run, while Lu Ming's first reaction had been to find Lu Annuan.

That was why Lu Annuan liked Lu Ming instead of him.

This time, he accepted his defeat wholeheartedly.

"I won't go looking for Lu Annuan anymore," Wei Lihui said shamefully. He turned around, staggered twice, and ran off.

Lu Ming looked toward the place where the Evil Beasts were rampaging. A silver light rose there. It was the Magical Girl Polaris.

Lu Annuan really had come.

Because she was a Magical Girl who protected peace.

Not, Bro?

Silver radiance shot through the darkness like an arrow, piercing an Evil Beast that was rampaging. With a massive howl, the Evil Beast turned into dust and dissipated into the air.

Silver hair, a pure white dance dress, and a crystalline wrist gripping the Magical Girl's staff. Her exquisite face bore a resolute gaze.

The Magical Girl Polaris.

"Three left?" Polaris's eyes moved slightly. She hadn't expected to encounter an Evil Beast disaster just as she was about to reach home. For the sake of the citizens, she had to transform.

She landed lightly on the street. At that moment, an Evil Beast roared, opened its bloody maw, and lunged to bite her.

Polaris calmly shifted aside. The Evil Beast's sharp teeth swept past her side by a hair's breadth.

Polaris did not stop. Taking advantage of the momentum, she twisted her waist and, with an absolutely stable center of gravity, thrust her magical staff before the Evil Beast's eyeball.

This was the body control she possessed as the national youth figure skating champion: flexibility without sacrificing speed, beauty without sacrificing sharpness, nobility and precision combined, just like her title as the Ice Princess.

The Evil Beast's bulging eye widened slightly.

"Repent for the harm you've caused people!"

Magic power roared forth.

The Evil Beast slowly turned into dust and dissipated.

Polaris stood where she was, her cheeks gradually turning a little flushed.
