Luo Tianyou never imagined that Yuexia Liuli would do something like this.
She held the petite figure in her arms.
The starry battle suit, having lost Yuexia Liuli’s magic power, scattered into mottled stardust and vanished. Similarly, Yuexia Liuli’s own battle suit also dissolved into stardust.
Luo Tianyou’s head felt dizzy, as if suffering aftereffects.
She plopped down onto the grass, kneeling, with her delicate body pressed together in pale closeness.
“Be careful, I’ll ask Iron Thorn to bring you some clothes.”
Lin Weiwei took off her own coat and draped it over Luo Tianyou, then sensibly stepped back a few paces, constructing a barrier with magic.
The Management Bureau hadn’t arrived yet in the distance, and Iron Thorn was urgently tending to the children and Qingluan.
“Thank you.”
Luo Tianyou’s cheeks flushed as she used her hand to cover between her thighs.
A bit embarrassed, and even more worried that someone might notice her current state.
To be honest, she wasn’t even a Magical Girl yet, let alone a girl.
Lin Weiwei’s coat barely managed to cover her upper body.
Cool air crept up along her calves, but much of it was dispelled by the small, warm softness in her arms.
Especially where their skin touched—warm and delicate—like a piece of heated jade, making Luo Tianyou’s face burn red.
This was too much.
Compared to any previous forced hug or kiss, this moment of unguarded skin-to-skin contact left her even more at a loss.
She could clearly feel Yuexia Liuli’s steady heartbeat through the thin chest wall, blending with her own chaotic pulse.
That petite form was also deeply imprinted in her senses.
A wave of shame flooded over her, making her ears burn.
Her fingers unconsciously curled up—neither able to hold nor let go.
Embarrassing.
And most importantly, the person in her arms.
At this moment, Yuexia Liuli’s features were even softer and more childish.
Her pink lips were pouting slightly, looking incomparably weak and fragile.
But Luo Tianyou couldn’t forget.
She couldn’t forget the complex look in Yuexia Liuli’s eyes when she looked back, the trace of blood at her lips, nor the small, dimming figure as she pushed her out of the barrier.
Why did she do this?
For those children.
For this city.
But really, there was no need to send herself out.
This wicked person had, from the first meeting, schemed to toy with her, control her, determined to turn her into a plaything drowned in desire, and to take revenge on her own mother.
Even leaving her in the seal of Kiriel wasn’t a problem.
Yuexia Liuli chose the hardest, most self-damaging path—forcing herself, severing control, sending everyone away, and facing the unknown danger alone.
Luo Tianyou felt her thoughts tangled into a knot.
Did she hate Yuexia Liuli? Yes.
She hated her domineering ways, her teasing, her shameful actions and words, and even more, she hated always being forced by her.
Was she afraid of Yuexia Liuli? Maybe a little, especially when faced with her unpredictable mind.
But besides hate and fear—was there anything else?
If it were before, faced with this exposed situation, she would have dumped Yuexia Liuli on the grass long ago.
How could she be holding her like this?
Luo Tianyou stuck out her tongue lightly.
She had no clothes for now, so she just hugged Yuexia Liuli, gazing at the repaired barrier.
She was too weak.
She inherited her mother’s power but didn’t understand it at all, nor how to use it better…
“yiya!!!!!!”
Suddenly, Luo Tianyou let out a strange yelp, her face flushing red.
She quickly pressed down Yuexia Liuli’s hand.
“Where are you touching…”
Before she finished, Luo Tianyou realized Yuexia Liuli was still asleep—her hand had just accidentally fallen between Luo Tianyou’s thighs.
Lin Weiwei, nearby and hearing everything clearly, stared at the sky in a daze.
Whether it was flirting or not.
Don’t think, don’t look, don’t ask.
Iron Thorn brought over two large Management Bureau standard overcoats, setting them gently beside Luo Tianyou before quickly turning away to continue working.
Luo Tianyou laid Yuexia Liuli on one of the overcoats, her body shivering slightly in the cold wind. She hurriedly picked up the other overcoat and shook it out.
For her current petite figure, the Management Bureau’s standard overcoat was indeed too big—practically a wedding train.
She quickly wrapped herself inside.
The coat’s length dragged to the ground, the sleeves extended far past her hands and had to be rolled up several times, and even the belt barely fit around her waist, leaving it loose—but at least it was wearable.
Next was Yuexia Liuli.
Luo Tianyou looked at the blond, childlike girl sleeping soundly on the overcoat and hesitated.
For her size now, the overcoat wasn’t just big—it was a giant sleeping bag.
She could easily be wrapped up inside, but wearing it was impossible.
Only wrapping would work.
But how to wrap her? Like swaddling a baby?
Luo Tianyou tried lifting the small Yuexia Liuli and draping the overcoat over her.
But the coat simply covered her from head to toe, leaving only a little tuft of golden hair sticking out, like a cocooned silkworm.
That wouldn’t do.
She couldn’t move or even breathe.
She tried several other ways—too loose and it would fall off, too tight and it might choke her.
Finally, Luo Tianyou looked at her own overcoat and a helpless, slightly embarrassed idea came to mind.
Forget it…
Luo Tianyou sighed in resignation, readjusting her own overcoat by loosening the belt to open the front wider.
Then, she gently lifted Yuexia Liuli, setting her facing her on her folded legs, so the small body pressed close to her chest and abdomen.
Next, she used her own large overcoat to wrap them both together.
She closed the front of the coat, loosely tying the belt around both their waists to secure them.
This way, Yuexia Liuli was nestled within Luo Tianyou’s arms and the inner space of the overcoat, only a fluffy golden head showing, resting below Luo Tianyou’s collarbone.
Luo Tianyou herself stuck out her head and shoulders from the coat’s collar, arms encircling the little heater in her lap.
This posture was overly intimate.
Close enough to count each eyelash, close enough to feel the subtle patterns of each other’s skin.
“Always making trouble for me…”
Luo Tianyou muttered softly, her tone lacking conviction, sounding more like a resentful wife caring for her little girlfriend.
Perhaps sensing her voice—or maybe just shifting position—Yuexia Liuli suddenly moved, her little head nuzzling into Luo Tianyou’s neck, letting out a fuzzy murmur.
Her small hand unconsciously grasped a bit of the coat’s inner fabric.
Luo Tianyou’s body stiffened, holding her breath.
A few seconds passed.
Seeing Yuexia Liuli didn’t move again and was still peacefully asleep, she slowly relaxed.
A strange calm quietly spread.
The noise outside seemed cut off by the overcoat.
At that moment, Management Bureau staff finally arrived and busied themselves in the distance.
The sirens of ambulances could be faintly heard, and Lin Weiwei’s magic barrier still blocked everyone’s view.
In this small space formed by the overcoat and their body warmth, time seemed to slow.
Luo Tianyou lowered her head, looking at Yuexia Liuli’s tranquil sleeping face.
Her fingers unconsciously brushed across Yuexia Liuli’s soft golden bangs, tucking a stray strand behind her ear.
When the movement ended, even Luo Tianyou herself was stunned.
What am I doing?
She drew her hand back as if burned.
“Lin Weiwei.”
Luo Tianyou looked up, calling to Lin Weiwei not far away.
“Is everything settled here? Yuexia Liuli needs to go back and rest as soon as possible.”
Lin Weiwei hurried over, her gaze flickering at the two wrapped together in a single overcoat, then respectfully lowering her head.
“Yes, Lord Luo Tianyou. On-site treatment and seal monitoring are in place, and Director Zhou Zheng has arrived with reinforcements. The car is ready and can take you both back to the city at any time.”
“Then let’s go.”
Said Luo Tianyou.
“My lord, the supporting S-class Magical Girl is almost at the city. Do you wish to meet her?”
“Let’s wait until Yuexia Liuli wakes up.”
“Understood. That S-class Magical Girl’s codename is Xiao Yuan.”
