The story was not very long.
"The first time I saw Jiayu Jie, we were still studying in Shanghai."
"At first, I was quite wary of Jiayu Jie, thinking that beast-kin were not good people, but she didn't despise me because of my coldness."
"Then one night, I had a high fever, and my dad couldn't make it back from work. Jiayu Jie carried me for two kilometers to the hospital to see a doctor."
"From then on, I felt... beast-kin weren't 'all bad people' as the legends said, and I gradually became family with Jiayu Jie."
"But..."
Nan Xiaofeng's tone shifted, and Su Tianqing's ears immediately perked up.
"But?"
"Hmm... it's not that I think Jiayu Jie is bad, it's just that she's quite introverted, often keeps to herself and doesn't talk, and she's quite fierce when tutoring my homework."
"Hahahaha, that's just how Jia Yu is, she's very serious about studying." Su Tianqing chuckled, covering her mouth.
"But sometimes it's really frustrating!"
Nan Xiaofeng said, feeling dejected,
"And the homework she's assigned recently is so much... the kind you just can't finish..."
"Then, Nan Xiaofeng, have you tried talking to Jia Yu about it?"
"I don't dare to say anything..." Nan Xiaofeng shrunk her neck.
"Then I'll go talk to Jia Yu and ask her to assign you less homework, so Nan Xiaofeng, you can rest more~"
Su Tianqing said with a light chuckle.
Nan Xiaofeng looked at Su Tianqing in surprise. In her eyes, the little Fox Fox in front of her was simply a little angel who had fallen from the sky.
No wonder everyone wanted to chat with Tianqing Jie! There was a reason for it!
"Thank you, Tianqing Jie!"
"It's nothing~"
Su Tianqing waved her hand and said with a smile,
"Nan Xiaofeng, I'm very happy that you're willing to tell me these things. Usually, almost no one except Jia Yu is willing to chat with me."
"Eh?..."
Nan Xiaofeng was stunned.
No one willing to chat with Tianqing Jie? Such a cute and sunny angel Fox Fox, and no one chats with her??
"It's surprising, isn't it?" Su Tianqing said with a smile, "Before I met Jia Yu, I lived all by myself."
"Going to school alone, eating alone, leaving school alone, sleeping alone."
"I really envy you, Nan Xiaofeng, to have so many friends, and... such a happy family..."
The Golden Fox's eyes lowered.
Nan Xiaofeng's heart tightened, and she pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.
"But it doesn't matter now, all that is in the past." Su Tianqing said with a smile,
"So I made up my mind to help children like me, which is why I found Muyao Meimei (Muyao Little Sister) and made you all friends."
What a gentle and radiant Tianqing Jie!
Nan Xiaofeng's heart was filled with only this single emotion, and the happiness and satisfaction of basking in the sun.
She couldn't just simply bask in the sun like this! She had to do something!
Thinking this, Nan Xiaofeng gathered her courage and looked up at Su Tianqing.
"Tianqing Jie!"
"Hmm?"
"If, if Tianqing Jie doesn't mind, then let's be friends!"
Su Tianqing was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and chuckled, laughing very happily.
"Hahahahaha... how could I dislike you, Nan Xiaofeng."
"From now on, we're good friends~ If you encounter anything you can't solve, Nan Xiaofeng, just quietly tell me, and I'll definitely help you sort it out~"
【Mission: Hyacinth's Past, Completed】
The sound of the secret codex echoed in her mind, and Su Tianqing's mood was ecstatic.
But then, another voice sounded:
【Mission Refresh】
【Critical Event: Swift as a Rabbit】
【Prevent the new villain Magic Girl from losing control】
【Reward: Hyacinth Trust +1000, secret codex Shop Self-Select Item x1】
...What?
With a forced smile on her face, Su Tianqing's heart was already turbulent.
It seems... something big is about to happen.
...
...
Dinner time.
It was already quite late when they had originally planned to go out, and after exchanging merchandise and chatting, it was soon evening.
The two decided to eat at a newly opened steak hotpot place and had a great time.
"Nan Xiaofeng, do you like eating pot-side bread?"
"I do!"
"But this one is a bit dry from being roasted, let's eat this steak first."
"Thank you, Tianqing Jie!"
During their post-dinner stroll, Su Tianqing led Nan Xiaofeng around the mall twice, chatting about many things they hadn't mentioned before.
"So Tianqing Jie, you... ah, I'm sorry..."
After hearing about Su Tianqing's past life, Nan Xiaofeng felt a bit down.
"Let the past be the past, you can't just live in the past."
"Mm, I understand. I'll learn from you, Tianqing Jie!" Nan Xiaofeng nodded, saying with certainty.
The two strolled through the mall corridor at dusk.
The crimson sunset streamed indoors through the glass curtain wall, bathing the entire mall in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Looking at the distant sun, Nan Xiaofeng turned her head to glance at the Golden Fox beside her.
Su Tianqing was also gazing into the distance, with her familiar smile on her face.
Noticing Nan Xiaofeng's gaze, she turned her head to look back, grinning, her smile bright like the sun.
"What's wrong? Is there something on my face, Big Sister?"
"N-nothing."
Nan Xiaofeng hastily averted her gaze, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Nan Xiaofeng." Su Tianqing suddenly called out.
"Mm... hmm?"
"These past two days, have you been happy, Nan Xiaofeng?"
Nan Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment.
"...Very happy." Then, the girl softly replied.
They had visited a comic convention together, played a very interesting game, bought merchandise she had always longed for, and even exchanged collectibles with Tianqing Jie to become good friends.
Now she could show off in front of Hua Ling and Mu Yao!
"In the future, there will be many more happy days like today." Su Tianqing said.
"From now on, Jia Yu and I will always be by your side, until you, Nan Xiaofeng, also grow up and become an independent adult."
"At that time, it'll be your turn to accompany us."
"Definitely!" Nan Xiaofeng replied without hesitation.
The little Fox Fox smiled sweetly, the sunset falling through her hair, radiant with light.
The two walked out of the mall side by side, heading towards the subway entrance.
"I'll drop you off here, Nan Xiaofeng, you should head back too."
Standing in the plaza, Su Tianqing turned and said to Nan Xiaofeng.
"Mm, Tianqing Jie, please be careful."
"Got it~ I'll send you a message when I get home."
The little Fox Fox said with a light chuckle, waving goodbye to the girl.
Watching her walk towards the subway station entrance, Nan Xiaofeng imagined the future.
When she grew up, she would see Jia Yu and Tianqing Jie holding hands, waiting for her at the university entrance, and then happily embrace her sisters...
I must protect Tianqing Jie.
.
Suddenly.
A ripple of Star Realm Magic entered Nan Xiaofeng's perception.
Not far away, a strange pink silhouette fell from the sky, dust exploding.
People around began to flee in panic, and Nan Xiaofeng's mind buzzed.
Star Realm Magic?!
That person is... is a Magic Girl?!
"Finally... finally found it..."
"Fresh, abundant magic..."
The pink silhouette murmured, raising her head from the dust, looking at the little Fox Fox who had fallen to the ground not far away, her eyes glowing with desire.
People scrambled to escape.
The pink Magic Girl rushed forward, her eyes fixated only on the magic-filled Golden Fox not far away.
Su Tianqing fell to the ground in terror, staring blankly at the unfamiliar Magic Girl rapidly approaching her, at a loss for what to do.
Nan Xiaofeng saw it all, and her pace gradually accelerated as she ran towards the fallen little Fox Fox.
Tianqing Jie is in danger!
That unfamiliar Magic Girl... is a villain like Xin Yuehu! And definitely the very dangerous kind!
Su Tianqing's face showed fear, but her heart was indecisive.
She's the out-of-control companion! I should have thought of it sooner! That critical event! I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly at this moment...
Should I transform now? If I don't transform, I'll be treated as a magic source by this out-of-control, reckless newcomer!
The pink Magic Girl leaped towards her, her eyes devoid of any intelligence, only the light of instinct remaining.
Su Tianqing hesitated for only a moment, then a sky-blue figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
Star Realm Magic flashed, a greatsword was summoned, blocking the pink Magic Girl's pounce!
"Haaaaaah!!!"
Hyacinth roared softly, pushing with her greatsword, sending the dazed Rabbit Girl flying far away!
