"How was my rescue?"
Once I ca out of the room, I saw Bingtang smiling mischievously.
"Rescue whom?" Jiang Si tilted his head, glanced back, "Susan?"
", , , I rescued myself, how about that."
The girl pouted, naturally linking her arm with his, "Oh, I’m also going to compete with Zi Yuan for Jiang Si."
Jiang Si habitually gave a casual push, "Are you very idle?"
"Just a joke." Bingtang didn’t let go, only tugging Jiang Si along as she walked forward. As long as she didn’t release her grip, Jiang Si wouldn’t really push her away. It has been this way for three years, "Anyway, let’s head back to the sect first and give your gift to Yu Mo and the others..."
Initially, she wanted to talk more about the arrangents for An Shiyu as the key, but suddenly Bingtang heard the neighbors gossiping next door.
"What’s going on, how co this kid changed partners again? Did he ditch all those from last ti? This is too wild..."
"The son of the Old Jiang Family is doing well, bringing girls ho every day. This ti it’s two at once, each one prettier than the last, what a waste, it’d be great if he gave one to my son. My son is always at ho, getting so envious, always asking how he’s worse than this Jiang Si kid."
"Oh, co on, just look at your son, of course, they wouldn’t be interested."
"Shoo shoo, your son is no different."
"Tell , how can this kid handle having two girls getting along so well? My son would cause a ruckus with even just one at ho..."
"What a waste of talent, I bet he won’t be satisfied until a heavenly goddess descends to sleep with four at once..."
Sweeping back her hair, Bingtang montarily forgot what she was about to say.
Jiang Si seed to sense sothing too, glancing sideways at her, "Why aren’t you speaking?"
"Nothing, I just heard soone saying I’m very obedient."
Bingtang pursed her lips, smiled lightly, "I’m wondering, am I really that obedient?"
"Oh, indeed."
"If even you think so, but I absolutely won’t let others have what belongs to ."
Jiang Si nodded, "That’s right, precious things belong to those with virtue."
"Hehe." Bingtang tightened her hold a bit, "You said it yourself."
Walking down the street openly, the two girls linking arms with a young boy naturally attracted countless gazes.
Bingtang, however, calmly ignored those curious or envious eyes, saying softly,
"Leave the rest to ."
...
She wanted to beco friends.
An Shiyu was sincere about that.
For a girl who had always lived in an orphanage, with little contact with people later on.
The relationships she could understand weren’t many.
As for being in a romantic relationship, she indeed had dreams, but when asked what that really ant.
In truth, An Shiyu herself couldn’t say for sure.
She just believed in her heart that becoming romantic partners ans being together forever, living like family.
What is a true romantic partner?
What are the boundaries of being a romantic partner?
What are her own feelings?
What is the distance between lovers and friends?
What is the desire to rely on soone?
And...
What do lovers do with each other?
She only had a vague concept.
Her own feelings wouldn’t be spoken aloud; she could only strive to interact as friends, whether with Zi Yuan or Jiang Si.
But to what extent can friends go?
While she was pondering, Keke got up to check the fridge; seeing there wasn’t much food, she said she would go buy so groceries.
Susan followed her.
The once-bustling living room suddenly only had An Shiyu and Li Yi left.
Though slightly awkward, seeing Li Yi remaining silent, An Shiyu decided she should take the initiative to foster a good relationship.
To make lots and lots of friends.
She stood up and filled Li Yi’s teacup with water, then said earnestly, "Miss Li Yi, I have sothing to ask you, may I?"
Li Yi, still reminiscing about her sister’s mory in heaven, was slightly startled by An Shiyu’s sudden question, but quickly picked up her teacup, saying, "I know, you want to ask about Zi Yuan, right?"
"Uh...I am indeed quite curious about Miss Zi Yuan."
"Beihai’s strongest Magical Girl," Li Yi said, her tone complex, "You saw it too, she’s very beautiful and her power is unrivaled. At present, I can’t imagine anyone who can match her, perhaps it’d be a Magical Girl at full bloom from the legends."
As a newly-inducted Magical Girl, An Shiyu showed a look of admiration, "That’s amazing?"
"Not only that, the largest Magical Girl organization in Beihai is actually the Cyan Cloud Sect, which is under her command."
An Shiyu’s eyes widened, "Then, what about the Disaster Strategy Bureau? Isn’t that the official Magical Girl organization?"
"Uh, for various reasons," Li Yi coughed, "we plan to support the Cyan Cloud Sect to beco the largest Magical Girl organization in Beihai."
The novice Magical Girl was both astonished and awed, "So, Magical Girls can reach such heights. I thought Magical Girls could only join official organizations, could I join the Cyan Cloud Sect too..."
"You, you shouldn’t think too much. For a novice Magical Girl like you, it’s better to join the Disaster Strategy Bureau."
Li Yi recalled her first ti eting Keke, the disparagent towards the Cyan Cloud Sect, and knew this was not the ti to voice it...
"Magical Girls who aren’t great can’t join the Cyan Cloud Sect!"
Though slightly disappointed, An Shiyu still nodded, "Okay, I’ll just study at the Disaster Strategy Bureau for now, we can talk later."
Why view the Disaster Strategy Bureau as a stepping stone—apparently, Keke had the sa thought initially.
