My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl! Chapter 48

Even Tang Zhiqing was stunned for a moment.

Seeing the photo brought a different kind of shock. It really looked like Haiyang's Magical Girl had been fighting some terrifying Evil Beast.

And... she had won with ease.

She had even had enough magic power left over to protect the entire city's residents from being woken up.

The composure of a true powerhouse.

"So strong, so strong! As expected of a new first-tier city!"

"Any veterans from pure first-tier cities care to weigh in?"

"@Empress, are you there? Who's stronger?"

"Big shots don't use this site. She only registered an account when she was new, but she should find out tomorrow."

"..."

Tang Zhiqing looked through the comments, feeling that things had gone a little beyond her expectations.

Deep in thought, she suddenly looked in the direction of Lu Ming's home.

"Could it have been him?"

Lu Ming looked at the magic power consumed within his body with great satisfaction. At last, his magic power had found a use.

Then he saw the magic barrier slowly spread from the heavens toward the city, and something felt off.

Once the entire city was covered by the magic barrier, Lu Ming began to panic.

This... wasn't going to cause some huge problem, was it?!

He hurriedly canceled the magic barrier. The magical fragments shattered beautifully through the air, while the magic power inside him seemed to be nearly depleted, making sweat bead on his forehead.

"I have this much magic power? I'm city-level?!"

Lu Ming was stunned.

No wonder Death Spiral wanted to capture Star Bearers for power generation. So every Star Bearer was a miniature nuclear power plant—or was he just special?

Feeling uneasy, Lu Ming checked the news and found nothing unusual. Then he looked at the class group chat, where everyone was just chatting idly.

Lu Ming: "Did you guys see that?"

Cao Guang: "Don't worry, our city doesn't have that."

Were they talking about the same thing?

Li Deng: "Want to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel?"

Lu Ming: "I haven't finished building my deck yet. I'll let it cook for a while, then I'll play you."

There was no way he was going to let Li Deng stomp him!

It seemed none of them had noticed anything strange, so everything was fine.

Lu Ming stretched and relaxed.

He rubbed his stomach.

He was suddenly a little hungry. He could make some Master Kong instant noodles, order an anime, and watch an episode of Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

A high school boy had to watch romance anime like this.

He could study up on the art of romantic mind games.

Three minutes later, the noodles were ready. Lu Ming slurped them down as Kaguya's voice rang out from his phone: "How adorable~"

When morning came, Haiyang's sunlight was as pleasant as ever.

After getting up, Lu Ming saw Lu Annuan looking a little nervous. "You didn't run into anything strange last night, did you?"

Lu Ming answered firmly, "No. What's wrong?"

Lu Annuan tilted her head in confusion. "It seems Magical Girls from other cities are all talking about our city. They said a terrifying Evil Beast appeared here, and there was this huge magic barrier last night. It's my first time seeing one that big. Look at this picture!"

Lu Ming nearly dropped his phone when he looked.

It had been taken really well.

Did Magical Girls have professional reporters too?

After thinking for a moment, Lu Annuan said, "But since nothing happened, we probably don't need to think too much about it, right?"

"I think you're right."

Lu Annuan smiled. "Why do you look so nervous today?"

"I'm playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel with Li Deng later. I'm getting myself fired up."

Lu Ming said.

Lu Annuan puffed out her cheeks and frowned. "Huh? You're playing games again?"

"Can't help it. Li Deng keeps begging me. If I don't play with him, he'll practically get on his knees. He doesn't have many friends, so he's pretty pitiful."

Lu Ming said.

"Oh... I see."

Lu Annuan became a little uneasy. She had always thought of Li Deng as nothing more than Lu Ming's gaming buddy, and she did not like him much.

"He plays Yu-Gi-Oh! because he wants to make more friends. Don't blame him."

Lu Ming sighed.

"Then play with him more, but don't get too addicted, Lu Ming. Otherwise, the grades you worked so hard to improve will drop again."

Lu Ming nodded and sat down to eat, then suddenly froze.

Something was wrong.

Why had Lu Annuan started pointing fingers at him and meddling in his life?

They were not married!

The two of them took the bus to school together. Lu Ming got off first, while Lu Annuan got off at International Middle School.

Lu Annuan sat in her classroom, her delicate brows slightly furrowed and her lips faintly puffed out.

Thinking about Lu Ming going to Tang Zhiqing's place to learn martial arts made her feel a little uncomfortable. Of course, she knew there was a reason for it, but she still could not help feeling unhappy.

A man and a woman alone together—how inappropriate.

What if people misunderstood?

Smack!

Meng Xuan flicked Lu Annuan's puffed-up cheek with her finger and asked with a grin, "What are you worrying about, Ice-Slick Little Princess?"

"Stop it!"

Lu Annuan turned her head away, but she could not help saying to Meng Xuan, "I have a friend... Her male friend, whom she's been close to since childhood, went to another girl's house. Don't you think that's strange?"

This friend you were talking about...

Did her surname happen to be Lu?

And was this male friend named Lu Ming?

Meng Xuan was, after all, the beloved Meng Xuan everyone liked. She would not casually expose someone's secret, so after some thought, she asked, "Has your friend ever been to this male friend's house?"

In fact, they lived together.

"All the time."

Lu Annuan thought for a moment before answering.

"Then is that normal?"

Meng Xuan asked.

"It's perfectly normal."

Lu Annuan said.

Lu Ming and I are childhood friends. What was wrong with living together?

Meng Xuan covered her forehead and sighed. "Then in that case, isn't it normal for this male friend to go to someone else's house too?"

...That actually made sense!

Lu Annuan propped her cheeks up with both hands and muttered, "But... it still feels uncomfortable."

After thinking it over, Meng Xuan asked gossipily, "How about telling your friend to change her approach? She should take the initiative and act like his girlfriend. Then he'd be too embarrassed to get close to other girls, wouldn't he?"

"Would that work?"

Lu Annuan's whole face turned red.

"Of course it would!"

Meng Xuan slapped the desk. "If you just confess to him directly, I bet you'll have him in the bag!"

Lu Annuan did not even notice that Meng Xuan had directly said "you." She imagined herself confessing.

It was a little scary.

What if Lu Ming rejected her?

He had stayed so calm even when looking at pictures of her legs.

Lu Annuan shrank back a little.

Still... claiming the position of Lu Ming's girlfriend first was not a bad idea. Other girls would not dare get close to Lu Ming then, right?

If she made Lu Ming miss out on finding a girlfriend, she could just compensate him by becoming his girlfriend herself.

A girlfriend named Lu Annuan—he probably would not dislike that, right?

Lu Annuan's mindset gradually changed, and her gaze grew firm.

Beside her, Meng Xuan nodded in satisfaction as she looked at Lu Annuan with relief.

The Ice-Slick Little Princess of Dongming International School was finally going to make a move in love!

Chapter 46: Accidentally Touching the Student Council President's Chest.

Lu Ming was playing Chinese chess with Ran Yanyue. Although Haiyang No. 2 Middle School did not allow poker cards and similar tools of academic corruption, intellectual games were still permitted.

Lu Ming looked at his own side, which had been butchered into human sticks. On the Chu River side, he only had two guards and one horse left, while the enemy's troops were strong and their horses vigorous, glaring at him hungrily. Lu Ming felt that his general was probably in despair too, perhaps smoking with a bitter face as he studied his opponent for his next life.

He had already given up, but Lu Ming had not.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment, pointed at his only horse, and asked Ran Yanyue, "Could my horse... be a thousand-mile horse?"

Ran Yanyue gave a cold laugh and directly moved her chariot to capture Lu Ming's general. Beheaded!

"Lost again. Defeat after defeat."

Li Deng shook his head sympathetically from behind him.

Lu Ming's expression was grave. "Sister Ran, you weren't screen-peeking, were you? Why do I feel like you saw through every move I planned?"

Ran Yanyue could not help turning her head away, covering her mouth as she laughed.

"Pfft."

Sometimes, when someone was too weak, even their excuses became a joke.

Even a cold and aloof beauty like Ran Yanyue could not help laughing.

Lu Ming: "..."

Was what I said really that funny to you?

Take off your clothes. Let's settle this one-on-one in the ring.

Oh, Committee Member Ran was a girl, so maybe she did not need to take off her clothes.
