Yes, I did all this!

Volume 1: Chapter 265: Private Conversation

——Cang Yi is right. Since there is no way to solve those things, we have to put it aside for the time being.

Now, improving strength is the most important thing.

On the top of the mountain, Xi Ri clenched her fist and looked at the boulder in front of her.

Her fist ignited with flames, and with a shout, she slammed into the stone.

The fist was dully imprinted on the stone, with traces of burns, and cracks with fire spread from the stone.

Bang!

With the sound of the explosion, the stone exploded and scattered in front of Xi Ri.

"......No."

Putting down her hand, Xi Ri sighed and looked at the scene she caused, feeling a little regretful and helpless.

She was not dissatisfied with the fact that the attack she caused was too weak. On the contrary, the damage she caused was still too strong, beyond her expectations.

—— Although her strength is strong, her weak physical fitness cannot support her to fight for a long time. For this reason, in addition to further improving her physical fitness, she has to use every bit of strength accurately.

......But this is not what she likes.

She prefers to attack the enemy with direct force, making the enemy unable to breathe. But the current situation is completely different from her idea, and she can only use tactics she doesn't like.

"Huh..."

Exhaling a breath, Xi Ri looked around, and there was already a lot of gravel on the ground.

Silently canceling the transformation, Xia Yan wiped the sweat off her face, turned around and left.

Not far from the top of the mountain, Duanmu Mo's car was parked nearby.

The car with a dark black background and dark gold outlines looks ordinary, but it didn't suffer any scratches in Xi Ri's gravel attack.

Obviously Feng Ling spent a lot of thought when making this car. Xia Yan roughly tested it and found that this car can ignore the attacks of ordinary monsters and can also block her powerful punches.

She came to the trunk and looked at Duanmu Mo in front of the computer with a smile on her face:

"What are you looking at?"

"Isn't this based on your commission to find Neville's trace."

Duanmu Mo looked away from the computer, rubbed his eyes, and pretended to be tired:

"Have you finished practicing? Do you need me to take you to tutoring?"

"It's Saturday now, I don't need to go to class."

Hearing Xia Yan's righteous answer, Duanmu Mo sighed again.

It would be good if she could learn 50% when I teach her. In the tutoring class... Duanmu Mo doesn't know if Xia Yan can remember at least 10%.

But it's okay, Duanmu Mo's purpose of doing this is just to distract her attention.

"Okay, Neville and the like can be talked about later, let's go back first."

Xia Yan smiled and pulled him out of the trunk.

"There are other things than Neville..." Xia Yan grabbed Duanmu Mo's hand and suddenly whispered: "My birthday, don't forget it."

"..."

Duanmu Mo took a deep breath and suddenly seemed to think of something: "By the way, speaking of this, Yu Zhi has been planning to prepare a birthday present for you recently, so you can go shopping with her."

Then, without waiting for Xia Yan to speak, he opened his mobile phone with his other hand and called Yu Zhi.

What made Duanmu Mo happy was that Yu Zhi answered quickly: "Hello, Mr. Duanmu, what's the matter?"

"Well, how is the training now?"

"It's over, and I'm about to go back."

"Well, you can go out with Xia Yan and prepare some birthday presents for her. I'll go back to the office to look for traces of Neville."

"Okay, no problem." Yu Zhi said with a smile.

"That's it, where are you? I'll pick you up right now."

"Um..."

--Under Xia Yan's dissatisfied gaze, Duanmu Mo held her wrist with his backhand and took her to the car.

"Go shopping with Yu Zhi~ I won't bother you anymore."

Duanmu Mo drove her away with a comfortable expression.

......

"Beep beep~"

The car stopped in front of Yu Zhi, Xia Yan got off reluctantly, and Duanmu Mo also rolled down the window and greeted Yu Zhi with a smile:

"Take Xia Yan out for a walk more often, I won't accompany you anymore, C... Goodbye~"

Sitting in the car and waving his hand, Duanmu Mo smiled and left the sight of the two.

Seeing this, Xia Yan pouted, showing an unhappy expression, while Yu Zhi smiled and watched him leave.

"Okay~Senior Xia Yan, is there anything you want to go shopping for?"

After Duanmu Mo left, Yu Zhi turned to look at Xia Yan and asked with a smile.

Xia Yan's expression eased, and she thought for a while: "Games... Let's go to the nearby shops?"

Although she had a stern face to Duanmu Mo, Xia Yan was actually just being rude to him, and she would never make such a face to Yu Zhi.

When Xia Yan was lost and venting because of the existence of Du Man, it was Yu Zhi and Duanmu Mo who kept helping her, so in her heart, Xia Yan had already regarded Yu Zhi as a friend she valued.

"Then let's go."

Yu Zhi smiled gently, walked side by side with Xia Yan, and talked happily.

"——Has Cang Yi told you something important recently?"

Xia Yan asked with her hands in her sweater pockets, looking around for something fun.

"That's not true, but she also proposed some strange exercise methods, such as asking me to meditate under a waterfall, practice sword practice at the bottom of the sea, etc... Although she said that I don't need to do this now, but I always doubt whether this is really useful..."

Saying that, Yuzhi sighed:

"Every time like this, I will lament the gap between me and Cang Yi... I really can't believe what Cang Yi has gone through to become so strong."

"Don't feel inferior, Yuzhi." Xia Yan glanced at Yuzhi and said, "You also have us here. No matter what happens, it is you, Yuzhi, and not Cangyi who will experience it with us."

The tone was straightforward and sharp, very Xia Yan's style. Yuzhi also smiled and shook his head, saying that he was not affected by this:

"Cang Yi also keeps reminding me of this. I also understand that no matter what, I can't always be helped by my past self, so I still need to work hard to become stronger."

"We will help you if you encounter difficulties...but for now, let's relax and go shopping."

Xia Yan nodded and smiled. Although her expression was not as casual as she was when facing Duanmu Mo, she was still sincere.

"That's true."

Yuzhi breathed out and looked around, looking for something interesting.

"Ah, by the way, how about these flowers?"

Yuzhi's eyes lit up and he quickly walked to a nearby store and stopped in front of a flower shop.

Various flowers were hung everywhere in the flower shop. Yuzhi came to a handful of bright and fiery flowers and gently touched the petals:

"These flowers can be used as decorations on your birthday, Senior Xia Yan. What do you think?"

"I don't care. It would look better if it was decorated in the office, but if it's Duanmu Mo, it's probably going to be troublesome again."

Xia Yan fiddled with the flowers casually, smiled and said.

"Then make a note of this first and come back to buy it when the time comes."

The shelf life of flowers is very short. Even artificial flowers are almost useless after completing one task. Therefore, Yuzhi and Xia Yan also contacted the boss here and left here.

"Are you at Mr. Duanmu's office..."

Yu Zhi put his hands behind his back and said in a pleasant tone:

"Senior Xia Yan, you have already regarded Mr. Duanmu's office as your second home."

"—No, it's my first home."

Facing her inquiry, Xia Yan said straightforwardly, with a serious expression:

"It was you and Duanmu Mo who brought me a normal life and gave me a sense of trust - you and Duanmu Mo are already important family members in my heart."

"Senior Xia Yan..."

Yuzhi looked at her in surprise, and then showed a look of emotion.

Yuzhi, who has a normal family, only now realized that Xia Yan's thoughts were different from her own.

Xia Yan, who grew up in domestic violence, and then accidentally burned her family to death with force, wandered for a long time. Although at first glance, her thoughts and ideas are no different from those of normal people, deep down Xia Yan has her own way of doing things. Thoughts that you believe in.

It is not easy for her to choose to become a magical girl like this, but what is even more rare may be that now, she is alone and can have someone to accept her and a family that can accept her.

Yuzhi took a deep breath and said softly: "I may have regarded you and Mr. Duanmu as family members without knowing it."

She suddenly reacted and blushed a little: "Ah, but don't say these words to Mr. Duanmu."

"It doesn't matter to me, let's go, let's continue shopping!"

"Um!"

...

——This stroll lasted from morning to afternoon. No matter how mature and experienced they are, they are still young girls, and once their playful nature arises, it is difficult to extinguish it.

So when the two returned to the office, they were exhausted.

"Huh... I obviously didn't buy anything, but when I realized it, I was already exhausted."

Yuzhi sat weakly on the sofa and said with satisfaction.

"yes......"

Xia Yan had already taken two sundaes without permission and gave one to Yuzhi.

"If I had known you would call me, I would have taken you there." Duanmumo was still sitting in his office chair. Watching them come back, he just said hello, took a sip of the tea he made, and then continued Looking at the book, he said casually:

"How was the game?"

"I found a lot of good things, such as flowers, colorful strips..." Xia Yan simply lay on the sofa and ate the sundae leisurely.

After they started talking about Duanmu Mo, they chatted happily for a long time, from birthday decorations to Duanmu Mo's hobbies. The fatigue was not only reflected in the body, but also the spirit was tired after the excitement during the day.

After returning to the office, both of them felt a little sleepy.

"I'm a little tired, let me take a shower here..."

Yuzhi stretched out, looked at Duanmumo and said.

"casual."

There are Yuzhi's clothes in the office, and I don't know when they were left behind. Anyway, both sides of Duanmumo's wardrobe have unknowingly become the place for Yuzhi and Xia Yan.

——As Yuzhi walked into the bathroom with her clothes, the sound of water flowing was a little hypnotic. When Duanmumo got up to make another cup of tea, he saw Xia Yan lying directly on the sofa and falling asleep.

"..."

Duanmu Mo was not surprised. He just nodded her face, smiled, and sat back on the chair with his feet up to drink tea.

The tea was sweet and fragrant, echoing in this small office.

—— Not long after, the sound of water stopped, and Yu Zhi walked out of the bathroom with moisture, her hair was still wet.

"Ha... I almost fell asleep."

Yu Zhi looked at Duanmu Mo, and just as she was about to say something, she couldn't help yawning and looked at Duanmu Mo with a red face.

"No problem, sleep if you want to - I can help you blow dry your hair."

Seeing that Yu Zhi was so tired after shopping for so long, Duanmu Mo didn't mind helping her.

After all, it was Duanmu Mo's own idea to pull her out to go shopping with Xia Yan. From a certain perspective, Duanmu Mo was not without responsibility.

"Well... Then I'll leave it to Mr. Duanmu."
