Luo Tianyou lowered her head, her eyes devoid of warmth.
There was no response.
With an expressionless face, she bent down and reached out, grabbing the back collar of Yuexia Liuli’s T-shirt like she was picking up a trash bag, fearing it might leak, and hoisted her up entirely.
Yuexia Liuli’s limbs dangled in the air, like a puppy being held by the scruff of its neck, swaying twice in mid-air.
Her cartoon T-shirt was stretched out of shape, revealing a small portion of her fair, tender shoulders and delicate collarbones.
She didn’t seem to expect Luo Tianyou to be so rough.
A flash of bewilderment flickered in her large golden eyes, but they were soon filled with a thicker mist of tears, and her small mouth puckered, looking as if she were about to cry.
Luo Tianyou ignored her performance, carried this dog, turned around, and fixed her gaze on a green tin trash can a few meters away.
She walked over.
Li Huayu watched from the side, dumbfounded, vaguely guessing what Luo Tianyou was about to do, and couldn’t help but whisper a reminder: “Tianyou, that’s a trash can…”
Luo Tianyou didn’t stop her pace.
She walked to the trash can, extended her arm, and let go.
Thud.
Yuexia Liuli sat right down on several discarded cardboard boxes stacked at the edge of the trash can.
Her golden hair caught some dust, and her bear T-shirt was also stained with grime, making her look even more disheveled.
Having finished all this, Luo Tianyou clapped her hands, as if she had just disposed of a large piece of trash.
She turned around and took Li Huayu’s hand again, her tone calm and waveless: “Let’s go.”
Li Huayu: “…”
She glanced at the trash can.
Yuexia Liuli maintained her position after being thrown in, her small face blank for a few seconds, seemingly not having reacted yet.
Not, Luo Tianyou, what are you doing, you actually dared to throw me into a trash can!
You, you, you….
You really treat me like your family dog!!?
A surge of anger rose in Yuexia Liuli’s heart.
What kind of joke is this! Do Flora and Luo Tianyou, this mother and daughter pair, both not treat me as a human??
Unreasonable! An absolute humiliation!
A small golden head, topped with a cardboard box lid, popped out from the edge of the trash can.
“Luo Tianyou, how dare you! I’ll ban your identity immediately and send you to prison….!”
Luo Tianyou glanced back at her.
Yuexia Liuli immediately broke into a smile, “Heh heh….”
“Heh.”
Luo Tianyou laughed out of anger and pulled Li Huayu to walk even faster.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with Yuexia Liuli anymore.
Once they returned to the city area, she would tell Zhou Zheng and the others what happened here and leave C City.
Looking at Luo Tianyou’s exceptionally cold back, the fire in Yuexia Liuli’s heart somehow began to flicker and weaken as it burned.
Luo Tianyou was truly angry.
It wasn’t the kind of anger from before, which was a mix of shame and indignation with a hint of powerless resistance, but a complete sense of disappointment and alienation.
She couldn’t even be bothered to say a single word to her.
A person’s heart turning cold often begins from here.
This won’t do.
It can’t be like this.
If she really let Luo Tianyou walk away like this, leaving with complete disappointment and estrangement, then it might truly be over between them.
This was not the educational result she wanted.
Yuexia Liuli pursed her lips, stepped out, and chased after the direction Luo Tianyou was leaving once again.
This time, she didn’t use acting spoiled, throwing a tantrum, or exaggerated performances to attract attention.
“Luo Tianyou, wait a moment!”
Luo Tianyou acted as if she hadn’t heard.
Li Huayu felt a bit strange inside.
Isn’t Tianyou in that kind of special relationship with Lady Yuexia Liuli? Why is it that now when they meet, they don’t even speak? It looks like Tianyou is unilaterally rejecting Yuexia Liuli?
That’s great.
Oh, no, no.
She just felt that having kissed and being in a special relationship back in Doomsday Arrival, it would be such a pity to just part ways like this.
She sincerely felt it was a pity, that’s all.
Yuexia Liuli blocked Luo Tianyou’s path again, spreading her arms.
“Move.” Luo Tianyou finally spoke, but her voice was ice-cold.
Yuexia Liuli looked up, “I have something to say.”
“I don’t want to hear it.” Luo Tianyou pulled Li Huayu, trying to go around her.
“It’s about what happened in the room earlier.”
Yuexia Liuli said hurriedly, “I lost control at that time; it wasn’t on purpose! I consumption was too great, and my body instinctively wanted to replenish magic. The magic on you has a strong attraction to me, plus our magic now has a Symbiotic Dependence. I almost lost consciousness then, leaving only the instinct to take! I… I didn’t mean to treat you like that!”
She finished in one breath, her eyes staring at Luo Tianyou without blinking.
Luo Tianyou stopped her footsteps.
She turned her head, her gaze cold.
“Lost control?” Luo Tianyou’s voice was very soft, “Yuexia Liuli, you are an S-rank magical girl, the Moonlight Witch. Are you telling me you couldn’t control your own instincts?”
“My power was severely overdrawn at that time, and my body regressed to childhood. My control over magic and my willpower both dropped to the lowest point…” Yuexia Liuli tried to explain.
“And? So that’s the reason? Because you were weak, because you couldn’t control yourself, you could pounce like a beast regardless of others’ wishes, ignoring others’ feelings, touching however you wanted, biting however you wanted?! Do you know how scared I was?! Do you know that I… I was…”
She couldn’t go on, her chest heaving violently.
“I’m sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose. I regretted it very much after I woke up. I didn’t expect to make you cry…”
“Enough, I don’t want to talk about this with you. I will return that ten million or so to you through the original route. From now on, don’t come looking for me again.”
Luo Tianyou calmed her emotions and bypassed Yuexia Liuli.
Li Huayu was stunned for several seconds before hurriedly catching up, but her mind was a complete mess.
Room? Which room? A hotel suite?
Li Huayu remembered the stories about magical girls she used to hear from older people in the organization.
Those stories were always full of terms like “ho-ho,” “oh-oh,” and “broken,” which she completely didn’t understand at the time.
Even though she didn’t hear these terms from Luo Tianyou, her head had already begun to automatically fill in the blanks.
So, the tear stains on Tianyou earlier weren’t because she was worried about me, but because she was made to cry.
She was made to cry.
So Tianyou was made to cry by Yuexia Liuli.
Couldn’t she have been a bit gentler?
Lady Yuexia Liuli looks so small now yet is so capable.
Or rather, did she turn back into her adult form at that time? Or even better, she gets big one moment and small the next, getting big when she cries and small when she shouts…
She walked a few steps faster to catch up with Luo Tianyou, carefully observing her profile, and said with full heartache:
“Tianyou, are you okay then? Is it very painful?”
Luo Tianyou was stunned for a moment when she heard Li Huayu’s nonsensical question.
She then realized Li Huayu might have thought of something and explained irritably, “It’s not what you think! Anyway, it was very out of line!”
“…”
Li Huayu lowered her head.
She didn’t speak her mind.
Next time, can you call my name ? I want a sense of participation.
