Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 64 – Night talk
After studying the uses of the Magical Assembly with Xia Liang, it was already close to midnight. The three of them separated at the open space and each went on their way home.
Cui Que walked away from the open space and looked into the distance. Just as she found a relatively secluded spot and was about to ascend and fly back home, she realized that someone was following her.
It was Lin Xiaolu.
Lin Xiaolu stood beside her, looking hesitant and wanting to say something.
"What's wrong?" Cui Que asked directly.
Lin Xiaolu glanced at her and then lowered her gaze. "Cui Que."
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".
When she heard her code name, Cui Que turned around and looked at her attentively, indicating that she was listening.
"A few days ago, I heard about... my mom," Lin Xiaolu said.
But Lin Xiaolu didn't meet Cui Que's gaze and whispered, "She's also a Magical Girl, right?"
"Yes."
"And she used to be your teammate."
"That's right."
Cui Que didn't hide anything about these questions. She knew that Lin Xiaolu had these doubts because she showed her an old photo a few days ago.
Whether to tell Lin Xiaolu that "Cui Que" knew An Ya and that they were the same person was something Cui Que had seriously considered. After all, it would undoubtedly link the identities of Cui Que and Lin Yun in Lin Xiaolu's mind.
Although there was no reason for her to suspect that they were the same person, the risk had increased.
But Cui Que also knew that she couldn't deceive Lin Xiaolu with two identities forever. As she spent more and more time with her daughter, there would come a day when Lin Xiaolu would realize that "Lin Yun" and "Cui Que" never appeared together.
She didn't like the feeling of deceiving her daughter, but given their relationship before and even now, the identity of "Cui Que" was still necessary.
There were many questions that she couldn't explain in detail as Lin Yun, but as Cui Que, she didn't mind saying a little more.
At this moment, when she saw that her daughter had questions about the photo, she felt obligated to answer them properly.
After receiving Cui Que's confirmation, Lin Xiaolu continued to ask, "Then, what kind of Magical Girl is my mom?"
"Your mom..."
What kind of Magical Girl was An Ya? Cui Que couldn't help but start to recall this matter.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.
From her perspective, powerful, righteous, shining... all these beautiful words could be used to describe An Ya because she was indeed an excellent Magical Girl with a kind heart.
However, if she had to choose one outstanding characteristic, these words were not comprehensive enough.
To describe An Ya, there was a more suitable word.
"Probably optimistic," Cui Que said softly.
"Optimistic?" Lin Xiaolu was a little confused.
This was not the answer she expected, as this word sounded too ordinary and didn't even seem to describe a Magical Girl.
"No matter how strong the enemy is, she never despairs. She never gives up in the face of any difficulties, and she doesn't sink even when she suffers setbacks. She's probably like that," Cui Que explained.
Facing Lin Xiaolu's confusion, Cui Que continued, "Although she may not be the strongest or the wisest person, and sometimes you might think she's just a silly fool who only knows how to laugh. But her emotions can always infect you, make you feel that things haven't reached a dead end, that there's still hope as long as she's there."
This answer fascinated Lin Xiaolu.
But along with it came a lingering sense of inferiority in her heart.
"In that case, my mom must be a Magical Girl who is loved by everyone, right?"
"In fact, that's the case," Cui Que nodded decisively.
"Are you disappointed now?" Lin Xiaolu suddenly asked.
"Huh?" The change of topic made Cui Que feel a little uncomfortable.
"I've been thinking about this for the past few days because you, Cui Que, came to Fangting for my mom's sake, right?"
Lin Xiaolu unconsciously grasped her own clothes. "So, compared to my mom, I must have disappointed you."
"Do you really think so?" Cui Que frowned along with her thoughts.
"I actually don't want to think in this direction... but I also feel that there's no other possibility."
Lin Xiaolu's voice sounded a bit dry. "I know what kind of person my mom is, and I can imagine that if she's a Magical Girl, her passionate personality must be very popular with everyone."
"Compared to that, I have no talent, and my personality is very bad. I'm not like Xia Liang, who knows how to be likable, and I always make difficult requests. It must be annoying, right?"
"And when you see the huge difference between me and my mom, do you feel a great disparity? In the end, if it weren't for this connection, what qualities do I have that would make you pay attention to me?"
Cui Que approached Lin Xiaolu a little.
She tried to see the expression on her daughter's face when she said these words, but Lin Xiaolu turned her head and continued to speak somewhat absentmindedly:"I heard that woman named Hong Siyu say that you, Cui Que, are an Inspector. You must be a big shot in the magical Kingdom, right? And you came to Fangting City just to investigate the disappearance of senior Mo Ke. But in the end, you discovered a good-for-nothing like me and have to waste your energy on me every day. This is so unfair to you."
Cui Que's cold voice carried a hint of confusion, "Are you saying that you hope I would just leave you alone?"
"No, not like that!"
Lin Xiaolu quickly raised her head, explaining somewhat flusteredly, "I'm not trying to drive you away, how could I possibly think like that! I really hope you can stay here, it's just that, right now..."
"You feel that you're not worth it?" Cui Que followed her train of thought and helped her summarize.
"Well, you could say that." Lin Xiaolu stuttered a bit in her response.
"If I tell you now that it's not the case, you would think I'm just trying to comfort you, right?"
"...Yes."
Lin Xiaolu's soft answer melted into the night sky.
Seeing her respond this way, Cui Que knew that her daughter was indeed experiencing a lack of self-acceptance, even feeling inferior, hence her low spirits.
This low mood had been quite evident these past few days, after all, Lin Xiaolu was not a child good at hiding her emotions.
Cui Que had been wanting to find an opportunity to talk to her, and now it seemed, this was the chance she had been waiting for, so she proposed:
"So, would you like to take a walk together?"
"Take a walk at this time? What for?" Lin Xiaolu was somewhat bewildered.
"Let's walk and talk about other topics."
Cui Que turned her body to the side, pointing to the road ahead, signaling Lin Xiaolu to accompany her, "For instance, now that you know about your mother's identity, do you have any other thoughts?"
