Chapter 118 Sigh
Although she was taller and more developed than I am,……
L felt inexplicably that the other party would be the type that was easy to bully.
By the time she came to her senses, her hand had already comfortably rolled several times through the other person’s fluffy hair.
The pink-haired Shushu, being touched, turned around in surprise to look at L. After being gazed at by her icy blue eyes for a moment, L hurriedly withdrew her hand and smiled awkwardly.
“Oh, I remember now, you’re the child with decent aptitude that Miti mentioned.”
After scrutinizing L for a moment, Sumu suddenly slapped her forehead in realization, then put down the controller in her hand, patted her slightly numb legs, and stood up.
L’s gaze gradually moved upward until it was firmly locked onto a pair of eye-catching things.
At a glance, it really looked quite indecent.
While she thought it was indecent, her body was very honest and unconsciously buried her gaze deep between Sumu’s cleavage, which barely held the buttons of her cartoon pajamas.
Such a straightforward gaze was naturally noticed by Sumu. She instinctively turned her body to the side and pursed her lips slightly.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean to offend.”
Seeing Sumu’s reproachful expression, L’s heart was immediately filled with panic and guilt as she repeatedly apologized while secretly blaming herself.
Why couldn’t I control myself at such a time? Could it really be related to that thing the woman left in my body?
“It’s fine, uh, let’s eat a pudding first, sit down.”
Sumu’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she turned to grab the pudding beside her, and she couldn’t help but grumble in her heart.
What was I thinking? She’s just a little girl, what does she understand? Look at how scared she is.
Even though she thought this way, Sumu still felt a kind of teasing sensation.
Since it had come to this, let’s eat some pudding to calm down.
“What’s your name?”
“Me? I’m Luo Jialan.”
L leaned against Sumu, tilted her head, and answered Sumu’s question while receiving the pudding she offered.
The sweet caramel aroma instantly rushed into her nostrils, making her unconsciously indulge in it. Sitting on this comfortable cushion felt a bit unfamiliar, as if she should have some sort of conflict with the other party.
But even after what she just did, she didn’t hold any grudges and was still being treated to such a nice pudding. This truly made her……
She’s really a very gentle person.
“Nice name, sounds very literary. I’m Sumu, the director of the magical girls. Don’t be fooled by my youthful appearance; I’m actually almost thirty years old.”
And still a thirty-year-old homebody who hasn’t found a partner or a job. If it weren’t for being a magical girl, she would have to rely on her mother’s support to get by.
“I can’t tell at all; you really look very young and beautiful.”
L’s astonished expression didn’t seem fake. Flattered by this, Sumu couldn’t help but smile, and kept adding pudding to L’s plate.
Her words are so sweet.
“So, do you want to become a magical girl? I can feel that you have great potential; you’ll definitely become a very famous magical girl.”
However, L’s gaze still lingered on Sumu and the plate full of pudding. After a moment of indecision, she subconsciously asked:
“After becoming a magical girl, will I be able to see you often?”
This question made Sumu freeze for a moment, her spoon hovering in mid-air.
“Of course, that’s possible.”
Surprisingly, Sumu didn’t offer any denial. Did she actually look forward to something like that?
Working alongside such a lively and cute girl.
Although they had only known each other for a few minutes, Sumu felt as though she had known her for a long time. Just looking at her slender fingers made Sumu feel relaxed and happy automatically.
Was it because she had been single for too long, or had she watched too many similar magical girl clichés lately?
But after all, I’m already 27. I shouldn’t delay her youth… She would probably be quite popular, never lacking handsome or humorous people by her side, eventually finding the one who fits her best.
“That’s great! I, I want to become a magical girl.”
L’s light purple eyes suddenly sparkled with dazzling light, momentarily making Sumu feel blinded and fascinated, even forgetting the messy thoughts from earlier.
In the end, the only response that came from her lips was a simple reply.
“Okay.”
The conflict that should have occurred was quietly eliminated in the sweetness of exchanging pudding.
On the side, “Miti,” who had been quietly watching for a while, silently sighed.
This is another story.
The camera in her hand froze this moment, everything gradually fading in the sound of the shutter.
What could prove everything from just now, besides the photo in Tang Nai’s hand, were the sincere feelings in Sumu and L’s hearts that would not fade.
Meeting again in different identities and images, then moving towards a conclusion that sounds more romantic.
And as the two girls locked eyes again, they had unknowingly embraced each other, with pure white light dancing around them, blessing them.
Additional memory points were lit up, leading to a better story, concluded with Sumu replacing Tang Nai.
L would probably no longer resent Tang Nai; she might prefer to forget that person and embrace the better, belonging to her Sumu.
“Don’t worry, at least I’ll always hate you.”
In Tang Nai’s ear, a voice resembling Sumu’s suddenly rang out. Upon hearing it, Tang Nai smiled knowingly.
“Classmate Irina, you just borrowed my collection to soak Miti and now are being ruthless, isn’t that a bit too early?”
“Look at what you’re saying; how can I be ruthless? Clearly, you let her get carried away; in the end, it’s still your fault.”
“If it’s my fault, then blame me, but I won’t take responsibility.”
After saying that, Tang Nai flicked the hair in front of her forehead, gently placed the photo in her hand down, and then quietly disappeared, just as silently as she had come.

“Hey, Wooden Mouse, which train are you taking back? Where’s your seat?”
“The first g74 train in the morning, carriage 10, seat 13D.”
Sumu reconfirmed the ticket while glancing at Ye Wanjing’s electronic ticket, her expression instantly freezing.
g74, carriage 10, seat 13E.
“Are you kidding me? Did you deliberately buy the seat next to mine?”
“Geez, as if anyone would want to sit next to you. I’m actually worried you’ll fall asleep and drool on my clothes.”
Though she said that, Ye Wanjing couldn’t help but show a bit of happiness.
“Only you would do something like that!”
Sumu was still surprised by this coincidence, even doubting whether Irina had secretly used some trick again.
“So for our 8-hour journey, what should we bring for tomorrow morning? Instant noodles? Self-heating rice? Playing cards?”
“I suggest you don’t get too excited too early.”
It wasn’t that Sumu intentionally wanted to douse Ye Wanjing’s enthusiasm; it was just that when she thought of her purpose for going back, her heart involuntarily became heavy.
Sigh.
