Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 509 - 102 On the Road_2

Xia Liang smiled like a crafty little fox, "But I won't do as expected, my request is that you take a good rest to prepare for the upcoming journey to the Kingdom."

"...Indeed unexpected," Emerald Sparrow opened his mouth, ultimately only able to comment thus.

"Hehe, every day caught between two girls vying for affection, having to carefully balance them both, plus a whole bunch of messy work to handle, must be really tough, right?"

Xia Liang stood up and patted her coat. "So with me, you don't need to worry about this or that, just relax, I won't make things difficult for you."

Halfway through her sentence, she paused, and then looked at Emerald Sparrow again, "Hard to understand?"

"A little bit," Emerald Sparrow nodded.

"Because this is my new strategy that I've come up with recently."

Xia Liang seemed proud, hands on her hips, "I call it the 'Gentle Haven Strategy.' When Xiao Lu and Xiao Xuan are showing their worst in front of you to win that bit of affection, all I need to do is to remain gentle, tolerant, and detached. Let you, Emerald Sparrow, feel no pressure when you're with me, and even feel refreshed as if spring has come, thinking that it will be more relaxing to be with me than with them. In the long run, won't my impression score skyrocket easily?"

"...Maybe there's that possibility."

Emerald Sparrow evaluated frankly while still puzzled, "But is this something you can tell me directly?"

"Of course, I have to say it."

Xia Liang blinked, "This is what you taught me, Senior. If I don't say it, and then you don't feel the careful consideration behind it, wouldn't all my efforts be wasted?"

Emerald Sparrow was at a loss for words.

"Alright, so you just relax, go to sleep in peace."

Xia Liang sat back on her own bed, put her headphones back on, and waved her hand, "Don't worry about me, I will go to sleep when it's time."

That's what she said, and indeed, that's what she did.

When Emerald Sparrow really took her word for it and decided to go to bed first, he realized that Xia Liang indeed continued to sit on her bed watching videos, with no intention of doing anything sneaky.

With such behavior, she truly made him relax quite a bit.

Without worrying about those unnecessary things, Emerald Sparrow naturally could relax his mind, let his thoughts drift into nothingness, and give himself a good mental rest.

He didn't know what was happening with Lulu and Xiao Xuan.

Such stray thoughts flitted through his mind, but they were just distractions in the end, and he wasn't going to disturb others who might be sleeping by going to their cabins because of such a thought.

Then, Emerald Sparrow closed his eyes in bed.

...

...

As the Land Ship entered the depths of the Wilderness, the night was deep, and the soft white moon hung high in the night sky, draping a tranquil glow over the pitch-black Land Ship.

Lin Xiaolu glanced at the endless Wilderness outside the window, watched the unchanging scenery for a while, then closed her eyes and drew the window curtains.

The crisp sound of the blinds broke the silence of the small cabin.

Bai Jingxuan, who had been reading with her head down, silently lifted her head and glanced at the window, realizing where the sound had come from, then silently lowered her head again without a word.

Consistent with the agreement made during the game, because neither had won at Ludo, they had to share a cabin.

The moderately sized cabin could just fit two single beds, and in between the beds lay a fixed table on the floor. When passengers aboard the Land Ship did not need to lie down to rest, they could sit at the edge of the bed, facing the table, and do some simple work.

At that moment, Bai Jingxuan had her book on the table, engrossed in reading by the cabin's light.

Lin Xiaolu's gaze carelessly swept over the book and easily recognized the content printed on it—it seemed to be an elementary school textbook.

Knowing that Emerald Sparrow was preparing to get Bai Jingxuan back to school, she didn't say much, just covered her mouth and yawned silently, then kicked off her shoes, crawled back into bed, and pulled out her phone to clear her daily mobile game tasks.

The two were like water not encroaching on each other's river, each doing their own thing. Bai Jingxuan's book pages turned one after another, and the screens on Lin Xiaolu's phone kept changing. Bai Jingxuan left the room alone a few times, but soon returned to the room somewhat forlornly and without saying anything. Lin Xiaolu didn't ask her what she went out for.

It wasn't until the dead of night, with only the roar of the Land Ship's engines and no other noise, that Lin Xiaolu blinked sleepily, yawning again before sitting up in bed.

She was accustomed to wash up before sleeping, but as there was no private bathroom in the cabin, she had to go to the Land Ship's communal restroom.

However, as Lin Xiaolu sleepily walked some distance out of the cabin, she realized that she seemed to have a tail following her.

Looking back, she saw it was Bai Jingxuan standing behind her.

"...What's up?" she asked subconsciously.

"Need to pee," Bai Jingxuan answered rather bluntly.

"Oh," Lin Xiaolu thought nothing of it and continued walking ahead.

But as she moved on, Bai Jingxuan still dangled not too close nor too far behind her, sparking curiosity, so she turned again and said, "Um, do you really need to follow me like this?"
