[There is no such thing as writing a "funny diary" when you have nothing to do every day, leaving behind some stains that are likely to be discovered by others even if they are hidden well.]
[This is just a small matter, just a little bit of wind and frost. ]
[It is enough to just quietly prepare yourself mentally. ]
【...】
【Time passes quietly, and there is no time to look back. 】
[After several days of torture, this torture is finally over. ]
At night, Lu Mian, who was really bored, lay on Xilin's princess bed with his belly up and his legs up in the air, thinking about life.
At this time, Xilin, who had unknowingly turned eight years old and grown a little taller, pushed the door open and walked in carelessly, not looking like a lady at all.
She was still wearing the "little angel" dress that served as the magical girl's battle uniform.
It is endowed with magic that allows it to adapt to age and body shape.
If the wearer doesn't get tired of it, it's probably something they can wear for a lifetime.
Anyway, at least now the other party is not bored at all, and from time to time he will turn around and admire the clothes like he did when he first got them.
Xilin came in such a hurry and acted mysteriously. I guess the so-called "surprise" was finally prepared.
Lu Mian thought so in his heart, and sat up calmly, "My dear, has Mei Ya finally finished preparing the surprise she prepared for you guys?"
"What the hell is this good treasure?" Xilin was staggered by this magical name, and she put her hands on her hips with a bit of arrogance and annoyance, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago? You have to call me 'Queen'!"
After saying that, he turned his head away as if in a huff, with an expression that said, "I don't want to bother with you right now."
But he soon couldn't stand the loneliness anymore, turned around in silence, and said excitedly:
"The surprise is ready. Mom, Bella and I have been preparing for a long time. You must like it, don't you?"
Over the past year, she has really changed a lot.
Lu Mian couldn't help it and shook his head and chuckled.
Good fellow, giving a gift and ordering the recipient not to like it? Is this so overbearing?
He smiled, but still gave a proper reply, "Yes, Your Majesty. No, Your Majesty the Queen!"
Hearing this, although still a little strange, Xilin, feeling satisfied, nodded her head with satisfaction.
Then he reached out and held Lu Mian in his soft and warm arms, and walked straight to the living room outside the room.
Chapter 5 New Skin (Two-in-One)
Xilin held Lu Mian in her arms and walked all the way to the living room.
But in the living room, which had already been powered on and was even showing signs of moving towards smart living, there was rarely any light on.
Only a few warm candles were lit on the dining table.
In the darkness, the warm flames gently set off the cake on the table and Maya and the girls standing behind the table.
Lu Mian Tuan lay in Xilin's arms, feeling the girl's body temperature and heartbeat, quietly watching everything in front of him.
Even though I had known about this "surprise" for a long time, even though I had already secretly prepared myself mentally.
However, at this moment, he still couldn't help feeling deeply touched, and he couldn't help but look forward to the specific appearance of the surprise.
Perhaps it’s because feelings and emotions have always been so indescribable yet incredibly magical.
When Xilin walked to the dining table with her arms around Lu Mian and stood still, Mei Ya handed over the small gift box in her hand that had obviously been carefully wrapped.
While handing it over, he smiled gently and said softly:
"Mr. Cat, please open it and take a look. We spent a lot of effort to prepare this."
The "we" in his words naturally refers to everyone present except Lu Mian.
[Speaking of which, you have corrected Meiya's polite yet somewhat awkward nickname "Mr. Cat" several times, and thought that simply calling her "Mian" was good enough.]
【However, it has not been changed until now. 】
[At this point, you have actually gradually started to get used to this somewhat polite but still special name.]
[After all, what demure woman would call a cat "Mr. Cat"? ]
[Even if it's a magical cat that's so magical that it's beyond belief, it won't work. ]
[What you don't know is that Meia actually thought about changing this name many times. ]
[But such ideas usually have only one very consistent and certain outcome in the end - nothing comes of it.]
[Perhaps this is because she herself wants to keep this "specialness" that is completely different from her daughter. ]
[However, this clever little idea has now been completely declared a failure. ]
[Because Bella, Agatha, Aurora, and Galina, four little cuties who were rescued from the Babylon Tower laboratory, are very close to Silin but not too familiar with you. ]
[So, instead of calling him "Mian", which is obviously more intimate, they also followed Meia and called him "Mr. Cat".]
[This really is all fate, nothing can be changed by humans...]
Back to the topic, facing the gift handed over by Mei Ya, Lu Mian did not get emotional or act pretentiously.
He just activated the "Fishing Magic" and carefully took the rather small gift box from the air.
After unpacking the items, I saw the carefully prepared surprise, which turned out to be a pendant in the shape of a cross.
At this moment, it is lying quietly in the small gift box.
After staring at the cross pendant in silence for a while, Lu Mian moved.
He hung the pendant around his neck without any hesitation.
Then he looked at it carefully.
The pendant is made of silver and has a mirror finish, and it seems to have been specially treated to prevent scratches and friction.
Looking at the whole thing, there is an inexplicable feeling of refinement and elegance. In addition, it has a strong handmade style, so it must be handmade without a doubt.
If you look closely, you can also see the cursive signatures of Maya and Celine, a mother and daughter, on it.
On the other side, there are the cursive signatures of the little girls Bella, Agatha, Aurora, and Galina.
This signature should also be signed one by one and then carved out bit by bit with a chisel.
As the old saying goes: The handwriting reflects the character of the person.
Now it seems that this is true.
Look at the fonts on the pendant, each has its own characteristics and is very vivid. You can almost see the appearance of its owner from these fonts at a glance.
For example, Meiya is a quiet person, so her handwriting is naturally as peaceful and orderly as her.
Xilin has always been a mischievous person, so her handwriting is not ugly but very uninhibited.
Hmm - probably about the same time as when Kiana just started practicing calligraphy and got rid of her "dog crawling" habit.
Speaking of handwriting, Bella is smart and calm, and she likes to read books, so the name she wrote is much more beautiful than the names around her.
Agata, with her fiery red ponytail, is impetuous and her writing style is also vigorous and high-spirited;
Galina, who always hunched over at a young age, was more gloomy, and her handwriting was full of hidden edges and extremely restrained;
The quiet Aurora combines the above two characteristics and is slightly moderate.
In short, their names were engraved on the sparkling silver mirror, as if engraved for eternity.
Looking at the handmade cross pendant around her neck, Lu Mian finally understood why this "surprise" had been prepared for so many days:
First of all, this pendant was indeed forged by hand, which was a big challenge even for Sirin as a magical girl with extraordinary powers.
Secondly, engraving several people's names on the pendant is also a problem.
You know, except for Bella who usually loves reading and studying, the rest, including Maya, are at the "Jianyu" level, and their handwriting will definitely not be much better than Kiana before she practiced calligraphy.
It seems that it is really difficult for them to master their handwriting to this level and sign their names on the pendant in such a short time.
[Perhaps, the shocking feeling brought by such a silver cross pendant, which is pure handmade and still ordinary, cannot compare with the snow globe made by the young bishop and the saint, which can be called "cross-era". ]
[It’s probably no more practical than a scarf clumsily knitted by a girl with cherry-colored hair.]
[However, they are all the same, and the heavy and sincere emotions they carry are all the same. ]
【The touch and emotion it brings to you are the same. 】
The candlelight flickered gently, making Lu Mian's eyes extremely gentle.
Time passed quietly for a long, long time.
He opened his mouth and said softly:
"Thank you, I like this surprise very much."
As the thanks were expressed, Meiya, Xilin and her daughter, as well as the four little girls headed by Bella, all smiled.
Such a warm and comfortable scene was witnessed only by the flickering candlelight by the table and the bright night sky outside the window.
After some relaxed and joyful laughter, everyone took their seats.
Meiya, whose smile had not yet faded, rubbed the little head of Xilin who was sitting next to her, and said softly with a little gossip:
"Mr. Cat, you may not know this, but Xilin originally wanted to prepare a bell for you.
"But later we talked about it together and felt it was inappropriate, so we changed it to this silver cross."
Hearing this, Lu Mian, who was sitting in the main seat, was speechless for a while. Since he was a cat, he didn't need to care about being dignified. He flew in front of Xilin and lightly gave her two cat punches.
"Good boy, you really treat me as a pet, don't you? I'll beat you until you scream." He joked as he started to fight.
Perhaps it was because Lu Mian's gentle and approachable image had long been deeply engraved in people's hearts; or perhaps it was because these few cat punches with little force were more like a massage.
All in all, facing this "strict" and kind heart, Xilin narrowed her eyes very disrespectfully, with the word "comfortable" written all over her delicate little face.
After a while, he hummed softly and said:
"What's the matter? Bells are cute, okay? Decision, I'll give you a bell next time!"
After saying these words, coupled with the tone and expression, she is so indescribably cute and adorable that people can't help but want to hug her tightly in their arms and give her a good hug.
It looks more like a cat than the cat itself.
Seeing that the "little suspect" refused to plead guilty or repent, Lu Mian was very happy and began to act rashly.
He immediately used his magic to light a little cream on the cake on the table, and then smeared it on the nose of the girl in front of him in a lightning speed.
Suddenly, the whole place was silent.
No one expected something like this to happen.
Of course, the subsequent development of the story became extremely simple. First, a family cream battle between the magic cat and the magic girl broke out between Lu Mian and Xilin.
Afterwards, the war spread for some reason and affected Bella, Agatha, Aurora and Galina who were watching the show on the side.
After being smeared with cream, the four little cuties looked at each other, put aside all their worries, and happily joined the battle.
Until the end, even Maya, who had been watching the fight silently, was implicated and was pulled and smeared with cream.
At this moment, just as at that moment.
The current scene and development of events coincided exactly with what happened when we were playing in the water at the beach a few days ago.
It is worth mentioning that the ending of this cream battle is not much different from the original water play.
Lu Mian once again inexplicably became the target of concentrated fire, and by the time the final photo was taken, he had almost turned into a creamy kitten.
I got a new skin, which belongs to...
In addition, the four little ones led by Bella and even Meia all had varying degrees of "battle damage" on their faces, and no one was spared.
In sharp contrast is Xilin, who only has a little cream on her nose.
The little girl was obviously in high spirits, almost looking like a small fan-shaped statistical chart - smiling cutely with three parts of pride, three parts of silliness and four parts of inflated look, enjoying the victory that only belongs to magical girls.
But she didn't think that her victory at this time was not because of her identity and ability as a magical girl.
But...
