CIATB Chapter 229 Night Talk
Chapter 229 Night Talk
"Splash splash splash..."
Li Kexin stood calmly in front of the showerhead, letting the hot water wash over her body.
The girl's ankles glistened in the water, her toes curling slightly inside her slippers, but quickly relaxed, and with a sigh, she gently rose onto her tiptoes.
"Is the water temperature suitable, miss?"
"suitable."
A somewhat weary female voice came from outside the door.
Li Kexin didn't say much. She silently picked up a small bag from the shampoo shelf, carefully rubbed it into her hair, and quietly enjoyed this time alone.
In the residential area of the Li Group Industrial Park in Guangzhou, the lights were on in an unnamed mansion.
Nan Xiaofeng lay on the living room sofa, playing on her phone with one hand. She was only wearing a nightgown and pajama bottoms, completely unconcerned about exposing her flat stomach to the warm air in the living room.
Hua Ling and Lin Muyao huddled around the coffee table, eating their late-night snack while their eyes were glued to the television program.
Magical Girl☆Red Rose: Astral Monster Battle
This is a classic film starring Red Rose herself, telling the story of Red Rose's battle against the evil organization "Adding Assam Milk Tea to Tofu Pudding Around the World".
It's a classic, and many people's introduction to magical girl movies, with a large audience worldwide.
The actions and lines of Red Rose in the movie have become scenes that many magical girls now try to imitate, and even her gorgeous and dazzling magical show fighting style has been imitated by many magical girls.
"Click".
The bathroom door opened, and Li Kexin walked out wearing a bathrobe. She immediately saw Nan Xiaofeng and his two companions watching TV and eating a late-night snack in the living room, and raised her eyebrows.
"Huh? Why are you guys still eating at this hour?"
"After a great battle, we must have a delicious meal; this is how we celebrate our victory!"
Nan Xiaofeng looked up at Li Kexin from the sofa, smiled at her, and handed her a roasted chicken leg.
"Here, a New Orleans roasted chicken leg, want some?"
"..."
Li Kexin stared silently at the chicken leg coated with honey and sauce, her eyes trembling even more violently.
"…Xiao Feng, I want to ask you something."
"What's wrong? Don't you like this flavor?"
Nan Xiaofeng asked in confusion, stuffing the honey-glazed chicken leg into his mouth, and then took out another braised chicken wing for Li Kexin.
The girl sighed softly, waved her hand to indicate that she wouldn't eat, walked to the sofa, sat down, picked up a glass of warm water, and took a sip.
"What I'm trying to say is, as a close-combat fighter, shouldn't you be paying more attention to your weight?"
"this……"
Nan Xiaofeng paused for a moment, then looked down at her belly, which was almost covered in abs. Li Kexin followed her gaze.
"It seems like I don't need to manage my weight for now."
"yes."
When the two spoke up, Li Kexin felt that asking someone who could wield a giant sword with one hand and perform a whirlwind sword dance about weight management seemed a bit too presumptuous.
So her gaze fell on the television, and she happened to see Red Rose striking her classic pose, which made her heart flutter slightly.
"Hey, this is the move! I love it!" Nan Xiaofeng suddenly perked up and said to everyone.
"I told you this looked great, Xiaofeng, you said it wasn't good last time," Lin Muyao replied.
"Who said it's not possible? I meant we all have to use the group position, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, it would turn into something like radio calisthenics."
Hua Ling added quietly, showing everyone a postcard she had taken during Bai Lili's team's rehearsal.
The four magical girls in the picture are striking a synchronized pose, which is indeed very energetic, but it does give people the illusion of doing calisthenics.
"……puff."
Li Kexin stared blankly at the picture, her lips twitching violently. She tried to suppress her laughter but couldn't, and burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, where did you get Karin from?!"
Nan Xiaofeng almost spat the chicken leg in his mouth onto Lin Muyao's face while laughing, but was stopped by the latter's magical barrier.
"Xiao Feng, just eat your food! Don't talk to people like that! Next time I'm going to get Sister Xiao Yu to beat you up!"
"Oh dear, sorry, but this is really funny!"
"Really?... Hahahaha!"
Lin Muyao turned around and burst into the same laughter.
The girls' late-night chat didn't seem so pleasant, Li Ke thought to herself.
However, the girl couldn't help but think of what Xin Yuehu had said to her:
[Miss Wheat, have you never had a late-night snack with your friends?]
That was the mockery Xin Yuehu uttered when he first met her.
But at the time, I was blinded by inexplicable anger—before today, I had almost never eaten a late-night snack, let alone with friends.
...I don't even have a decent friend.
But now, not only can he laugh with Nan Xiaofeng and the others, but he's also sharing a rather delicious-looking late-night snack with them...
The young lady stared at the braised vegetables and roasted meat on the plate, then reached out and picked up a braised chicken wing, tearing off a piece in small bites.
It's fresh, fragrant, and slightly salty, but the flavor that seeps into the meat is irresistible, making you want to take more bites.
"Well, Bai Ling said she bought it from a shop recommended by Hui Yun, which is said to be a very famous old brand in Suicheng."
"...Indeed, it's quite delicious."
Looking at Nan Xiaofeng's expectant smile, Li Kexin answered blankly.
"Hehehe, I knew you'd like it!"
Nan Xiaofeng still wore a bright smile.
Just as the four were about to begin their discussion, a white ferret that flew in through the window suddenly cried out:
"Hey! Xiao Feng! You guys are secretly eating behind my back again!"
"No, we're just helping you taste it—"
Nan Xiaofeng nervously turned around and gave an awkward laugh, when she suddenly noticed the Stargazer Fox following behind Bai Ling, who was wagging her tail and greeting her.
Good evening, Xiaofeng, Hualing, and Muyao.
"Hey hey hey! Xiaoyue!"
Lin Muyao exclaimed in surprise and greeted the golden fox carrying a bag of snacks.
Then Bai Ling flew up in front of him and tapped him on the forehead.
"It's you! Still eating! Let go of my chicken wings!"
"No, no, it's mine!"
A burst of laughter followed.
Seeing the joyful atmosphere before her, Li Kexin's smile became even brighter.
The golden fox floated down to the girl and greeted her.
Good evening, Miss Kexin.
Good evening, Xiaoyue.
The young woman restrained herself slightly, displaying the demeanor of a well-bred lady, and calmly greeted them.
"Thank you so much for your and Ms. Dandelion's support today. If it weren't for you, I might already be..."
"It's okay, we're friends."
Fox, the stargazer, put his hands on his hips and chuckled.
"But speaking of which, Green Ivy and the others are recovering quite well. Shall we go visit them tomorrow?"
Bai Ling flew up to Nan Xiaofeng and said to her.
"Tomorrow? Of course!" Nan Xiaofeng readily agreed.
"But then again, Kexin, didn't you have a fight with them? Should we...?"
"No need, I'll go tomorrow too."
Li Kexin said calmly.
"I did have conflicts with them, but they are also my companions."
"...I see."
Yue Tianxin smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.
The moonlight calmly illuminated the silent city of Guangzhou, and the late-night whispers of young girls.
