“Ding-dong~”
The crisp sound of a doorbell.
Rong City High-tech Zone, Li Group Industrial Park, Villa Area.
The girl stood calmly in front of a residential door, lowered her hand from knocking, and waited quietly.
Soon the door opened, and the girl calmly greeted the elderly butler who poked his head out from inside, then walked in amidst his surprised return greeting.
“Kexin Miss, why have you suddenly come to Rong City?”
“I’m here to play for a while; my father knows,” the girl said calmly, sinking into the wide, soft sofa to relax.
Although the butler was puzzled, he didn't ask further. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he went to arrange the bathroom and bed.
As an excellent butler, the most inappropriate thing to do is to ask questions.
Li Kexin sat silently on the sofa, scrolling through the search results on her phone screen.
【Magic Girl Dandelion Debut Video】
On the screen was the lively Golden Fox, introducing herself to the camera, her smile bright and sunny.
“Hello everyone~ I’m very happy to meet you all. I’m the newly debuted Magic Girl, codenamed 【Dandelion】~”
“From now on, I will be active in Rong City as a solo Magic Girl, assisting Hyacinth Squad in handling Monster attacks. I hope you all will support me~”
The bullet comments were filled with “Dandelion is so cute” and official Fox Fox head-peeking emojis.
A smile also appeared on the girl’s face.
Dandelion was very understanding, very cute, and even willing to chat with her.
This was probably her first friend, or rather, the first friend willing to chat so much with her.
No one had ever chatted with her about these things before! Past conversations were always very official and boring! There were no intimate girl talks like today!
What’s more, just a short while ago, she had arranged with Dandelion to go out and play tomorrow, which filled the girl with anticipation for the coming day.
But… if they were going out to play, where would be a good place to go?
Book a hotel ballroom? Or host a small cocktail party?
No, no, that’s too formal. Those are basically places her father goes for business. Dandelion looks to be the same age as her, so it should be a place people their age would go!
But where can students her age go to play? Is Dandelion’s school already on holiday? Will she delay her usual schedule just to play with her?
The more the girl thought about it, the more a little depressed she felt.
She didn’t even notice the butler placing the milk on the coffee table.
“Kexin Miss, this is today’s milk.”
“Ah… thank you.”
The girl quickly thanked him out of habit, picked up the warm milk from the table, and then fell back into thought.
“…Butler Wang.”
“Kexin Miss, please speak.”
“You said… if I were to go out with a friend, where in Rong City do you think would be fun?”
The butler was silent for a moment, then looked deeply at his young miss.
As a butler for many years, he knew his young miss’s personality all too well. To hear “go out with a friend” from her mouth was truly unexpected.
But did this also mean… his young miss had finally made a friend?
…
The next day, ten in the morning.
Hua Ling stood at the subway entrance.
The collar of the girl’s off-white sweater wrapped around her slender neck, her pinky hooked the stray hair on her cheek blown by the wind behind her ear, and through her round-rimmed glasses, she smiled and waved hello to the Golden Fox in front of her.
“Good morning, Tianqing Jie.”
“Good morning~”
Su Tianqing chuckled and waved, her tail wagging from side to side.
“Hua Ling Meimei, do you not have class this afternoon? You actually have time to come out and play, huh.”
“I’ve already finished my exams. Now I just have to wait for the results to come out before the holidays begin,” Hua Ling said with a smile.
No student dislikes holidays. Whenever holidays are mentioned, a joyful smile always appears, and Hua Ling was no exception.
“How about you, Tianqing Jie? I remember the pressure of exams at medical school is quite high.”
“Only two more courses left, but I usually study quite diligently, so the revision pressure isn’t too bad,” Su Tianqing replied with a smile.
“Jia Yu, on the other hand, is quite nervous. I asked her to come out and play today, but she said she needed to study. She probably wants to get a good score.”
“I see… Jia Yu Jie is very diligent.”
The two exchanged a smile and said no more.
Su Tianqing had originally wanted to invite Nan Xiaofeng to play as well, but unfortunately, she and Lin Muyao were both troubled by make-up exams, clearly the type who didn't study diligently normally.
It’s estimated that Xiaofeng will soon be given a beating by Jia Yu because of her grades.
Thinking of it this way, since Jia Yu is a Hellcat and Xiaofeng is a Hyacinth, the scene of Hellcat beating Hyacinth suddenly became very amusing.
But her target today was someone else. Since Nan Xiaofeng didn't come, it left her plenty of room to maneuver.
“Tianqing Jie, who exactly is that mysterious friend you mentioned?” Hua Ling felt a surge of curiosity and asked.
Just before going to bed last night, she received a WeChat message from Su Tianqing, inviting her to come out and play today.
【There will be a mysterious friend you, Hua Ling Meimei, would absolutely never guess~】
That’s what Su Tianqing said.
Hua Ling couldn’t figure out who this “mysterious friend” was, but seeing the Golden Fox beside her showed no signs of revealing the secret, she could only guess silently.
But soon, an eye-catching car by the roadside caught their attention:
A shiny rose gold Bentley GT, with matte white trim adorning various parts of the car body. The Li Group emblem was particularly striking on the car door.
When this Bentley stopped beside the two and opened its butterfly doors, extending that silver-gleaming running board, Hua Ling suddenly realized something.
A chestnut-colored British loafer extended from inside the car. The glossy shoe surface reflected the girl’s knee-length dark green plaid skirt and her knee-high cotton socks.
Underneath the fur-trimmed coat was an off-white puff-sleeved shirt, plus a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a handbag of unknown material, reflecting an aura of wealth on the car’s reflective rose gold paintwork.
Su Tianqing and the other girl were completely stunned.
This aura, this demeanor, this custom luxury car—doesn’t it make the two of us look like “the young miss’s two rustic friends” mentioned by the butler!?
Su Tianqing suddenly understood why Mai Sui had no friends.
Let alone friends, which ordinary person would dare approach her with that kind of aura!!
“…”
The Golden Fox met the gaze of the young miss.
With just one look, Li Kexin’s originally calm eyes immediately lit up with joy.
“Good morning, Hua Ling and Tianqing.”
The girl smiled and greeted them, her sparkling bracelet subtly visible on her wrist.
“Kexin Senior, um… this is…?”
“Hmm? Aren’t we going out to play today? So I specially dressed up—”
After speaking, the girl turned to bid farewell to the driver, then walked towards the two in front of her, her eyes filled with anticipation.
“Where shall we go play today—?”
