Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl

Chapter 44 – Sleeping together



In the steaming mist, a hand reached out and turned off the hot water by grabbing the showerhead.

Cui Que stepped out of the shower, wiped off the water on her body, and untied her hair, looking at the mirror in the bathroom.

In the mirror, a girl with long azure hair looked back at her expressionlessly. Her symmetrical and slender figure appeared fragile like a doll.

This seemed to be the first time she had bathed in this body since her return. Cui Que thought to herself.

When she was young and had just become a magical girl, there were occasional situations where she needed to clean this body. She would always close her eyes and quickly finish washing, blushing and feeling embarrassed. Even when facing the opposite sex body in the mirror, she would feel quite nervous due to the restless hormones and dare not look for too long.

After a long time, now, looking at this childlike body, she no longer had any impure thoughts in her mind.

Rather, as time went on, in her eyes, the transformation state of the magical girl was no different from a weapon. This body was both a weapon and armor, like a soldier's armor to her, appearing delicate and beautiful on the surface.

However, the power of magic was enough to freeze time on the magical girl. Occasionally, looking at the unchanging appearance in the mirror for more than ten years, she would feel a sense of temporal dislocation, as if she were still in the past.

Unwilling to immerse herself in this emotion, Cui Que closed her eyes and averted her gaze from her reflection in the mirror, no longer thinking about it.

After putting on the clothes prepared by Xia Liang and rolling up the sleeves and trouser legs, she walked out of the bathroom and saw Xia Liang searching for a pillow in the wardrobe.

"Let me help." She suggested, and the two of them started to work together.

Xia Liang's room only had a small single bed, so for the sake of sleep quality, she decided to use her parents' master bedroom.

In her words, "Anyway, it's empty. It's a good thing to be able to use it to accommodate guests."

It took about ten minutes to tidy up the bed and put away the extra things in the cabinet. Looking at the bed in front of her, Cui Que's expression became somewhat complicated.

Although she now only appeared as a little girl on the outside, no matter what, she was essentially an adult man. Next, she would have to lie on a bed with a girl who was about the same age as her daughter, and the ethical and moral pressure made her feel heavy.

During this time, Xia Liang had returned to her own room without knowing when, and now she was standing by the bed, looking at Cui Que with an expectant expression.

The situation was like an arrow on the string, only one step away from the door. If she refused again, it would only hurt this child.

With countless conflicts in her heart, but unable to say a harsh word, Cui Que could only sigh and say, "Let's turn off the lights and go to sleep."

"Okay!"

Xia Liang, who had been waiting for a long time, responded happily.

After closing the door of the master bedroom and turning off the lights, Cui Que and Xia Liang climbed into bed one after another.

Because she had many concerns, Cui Que deliberately kept her distance from Xia Liang, ensuring that there would be no physical contact between the two.

It's not that she had any thoughts about Xia Liang. In fact, facing such a child, she couldn't summon the mindset of a man looking at the opposite sex at all. She just felt that she had to act like an adult and maintain basic etiquette.

Unfortunately, while she thought this way, Xia Liang didn't think so.

After lying on her side with her back to Xia Liang for a while, Cui Que didn't even warm up the pillow under her head before she felt a pair of hands reaching out from behind and hugging her.

"Ah, it's really soft and fragrant when I hug you. It feels even better than hugging a pillow..." Xia Liang's voice came from behind her.

Cui Que was stiffened by her hands and her face turned stiff. She lightly pushed twice with her hand but to no avail, so she could only ask helplessly, "Can you let go?"

"No." Xia Liang's answer was also very straightforward.

"Don't you feel crowded sleeping like this?"

"This is a rare opportunity to sleep with my little senior. I'll keep hugging until my arms get sore."

"...You're being too willful."

"After all, it's what my little senior requested. Tonight, I'm just a willful child." Xia Liang answered in her ear.

Hearing this answer, Cui Que knew that there was no room for negotiation. She could only sigh with her eyes closed and say, "I'm starting to regret it now. It feels like I've really gotten into trouble."

"Hehe, my little senior feels a lot like Little Lu in this aspect." Xia Liang didn't mind at all and laughed softly instead.

"Where?"

"Tough on the outside, soft on the inside." Xia Liang replied, "The words you say sound harsh, but your actions often contradict them."

"I'm going to get off the bed."

"No." Despite saying that, Xia Liang held Cui Que's hand tighter.

Unable to resist, Cui Que sighed again and let Xia Liang hug her for a while. She found that the girl behind her seemed to still be awake, so she asked again:

"About what we talked about tonight, about your parents... Do we need to tell Bai Mei?"

"No need."

"Why?"

"If I say it like that, Little Lu might start sympathizing with me because of her personality."Xia Liang spoke softly, "I don't want our relationship to become strange because of 'sympathy'. I want to build a good relationship with Little Lu and become real friends. If this relationship is mixed with elements of 'sympathy', I would feel very unhappy."@@novelbin@@

"Is it okay to tell me?"

"Hehe, after all, you are a mature adult, right?"

Saying this, Xia Liang paused slightly, as if to confirm, she asked Cui Que, "Is it okay to think this way?"

"As long as you're happy, it's your own family matter, whether you want to talk about it or not is your freedom." Cui Que closed her eyes, her tone gradually softening.

However, as she said this, she suddenly felt a dampness on her shoulder.

Silently, she tilted her head slightly and saw Xia Liang burying her face in her shoulder. In the darkness, her bangs covered her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

But Cui Que could guess that she was crying.

Why she would cry at this time was something Cui Que couldn't understand. She could only feel that Xia Liang didn't want her to break the mood, so she closed her eyes again, pretending to know nothing, and let Xia Liang hold her.

When you're just trying to make great content at .

"Thank you, junior."

Before long, Xia Liang's slightly hoarse voice came from behind again.

She knew it was inappropriate to cry at this time, but it had been a long time since someone needed her, listened to her talk so much, and even told her she could be a little "willful". So many "long time no see" gathered together, making her feel as if she was in a beautiful dream again.

"It's nothing." To this, Cui Que responded lightly. Because she knew that at this time, it was appropriate to accept it calmly.

"Junior."

"Hmm?"

"I will work hard for the certification exam."

Lowering her voice, Xia Liang's words revealed a certain determination, "I also want to become stronger, and then one day, I want to stand by your side."

Cui Que's breath hitched slightly.

"...You will, you all definitely can." Then, she encouraged Xia Liang with a cold but gentle voice.

After saying this, she seemed to remember something, and then said with some hesitation, "But since we're on this topic, I made a decision just now, I just don't know what you think."

"What is it?"

"From next time on, let's have our study sessions at your place."

Cui Que said this while still leaning against her, so in the darkness, Xia Liang couldn't see Cui Que's expression.

But she knew what her own expression was like.

Burying her face in Cui Que's back, her heart was fluttering. She tried to control her upturned lips, and then replied softly:

"Yes, I would be honored, really."
