“Xia Yue, Xia Yue, what do we do if a cat takes Hatsune Miku away!”
Seeing that the teacher’s attention wasn’t on her, Bai Xiaocha quickly propped up a book to cover half her face and whispered anxiously to Xia Yue for help.
“What? You lost that moving figure?!”
Xia Yue had originally planned to pretend to be a good student listening attentively and not bother with Bai Xiaocha, after all, this silly loli hadn’t let her play with the figure earlier.
But when she heard that the other girl had lost that amazing little thing, she turned her head with a shocked expression to look at that pitiful little face.
“I just wanted to reach out and pinch him during class, but who knew he’d suddenly fall out of the drawer, and the worst part is, a cat happened to run by and take him away.”
Bai Xiaocha looked really upset; she just wanted a little close interaction with her little princess, what did she do wrong!
“Look at you, he’s a living thing, and you keep trying to pinch him, of course he’d get annoyed. Maybe he even fell out just to avoid your hand.”
Xia Yue hit the nail on the head.
“Stop it, stop it, hurry up and think about how we can find him.”
After being told that by Xia Yue, Bai Xiaocha felt even more guilty.
What if Xia Xi was taken by the cat and eaten right away! If that happened, wouldn’t she become a murderer, a criminal!
Well… even though it’s just a figure…
“You lost him, so you should be the one to find him~”
Xia Yue’s eyes spun around, and she crossed her arms, acting like she didn’t want to bother with Bai Xiaocha.
“Oh dear, oh dear, good Yueyue, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have not played with you~ After class in a bit, let’s go to the school store, I’ll treat you to snacks!”
Seeing that the silly loli had a good attitude in admitting her mistake, Xia Yue finally dropped the act she had put on.
She wasn’t worried at all, after all, the cat Bai Xiaocha was talking about was right there on the windowsill, only this silly loli hadn’t noticed it.
“Xiaocha~”
“Huh? Xia Yue, do you have a solution?”
“Believe it or not, I’ll count to three, and the figure will come back on its own.”
Xia Yue looked at the nervous Bai Xiaocha and confidently raised three fingers.
“If that really happened, that’d be great, but you’re not some magical girl, how could something like that happen.”
Bai Xiaocha clearly didn’t believe it, even though she really hoped that, like Xia Yue said, the figure could come back on its own.
“Hehe~ So, do you believe it or not?”
Xia Yue lifted her little head, looking completely confident.
“Xia Yue! That’s your first warning, next time you’ll have to stand up and listen to the lecture!”
But before she could be proud for even a few seconds, a certain teacher’s roar reached everyone’s ears, scaring her into a shiver and making her whole body slouch down.
“Xiaocha, it’s all your fault! I got yelled at by the tigress too.”
Scared by the teacher, Xia Yue redirected her anger at Bai Xiaocha, of course in a joking tone, because how could real friends really get mad over something so small?
“Oh dear, oh dear, that’s not important, we’ve been told off by her plenty of times.”
Bai Xiaocha waved her hand, signaling it didn’t matter.
The two of them getting called out by the teacher in class was already a regular thing, what could they do, they just liked whispering during class~
Chatting during breaks didn’t have that sneaky, secretive thrill like during class.
It’s like a pack of spicy snacks, eating them during a break versus sneaking them during class are completely different experiences.
That feeling of half-hiding under the desk, nervously pinching the snack wrapper, waiting for the teacher to turn around to the blackboard, then quickly lowering your head, pulling out a snack strip, hiding it in your mouth, covering it with your hand, and enjoying it comfortably—it’s super exciting.
“Oh right, Xia Yue, weren’t you just saying you were going to count to three? Go ahead and count.”
As for her little princess Hatsune Miku figure, Bai Xiaocha had come to terms with it; there was nothing she could do while class was going on, no matter how anxious she was, so she might as well calm down and wait for class to end to go out and search properly.
“You didn’t believe it anyway.”
Xia Yue rolled her eyes in exasperation.
“I believe, I believe now, my good Yueyue, please start your performance~”
“Pfft, you spineless, weak little loli!”
Xia Yue scolded her with a laugh.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to count, it was that she had already seen the Hatsune Miku figure sitting on the cat’s neck, like a princess riding a mount, coming toward them.
Honestly, seeing a figure sitting on an animal’s neck for the first time was really novel.
“Xiaocha, Xiaocha!”
“Xia Yue, were you just calling me?”
Bai Xiaocha looked at Xia Yue in confusion, who hadn’t opened her mouth, wondering where the voice in her ear was coming from.
“Xiaocha! Silly loli!”
Hearing the words ‘silly loli,’ Bai Xiaocha instantly pinpointed the source of the voice and quickly looked down.
“You’re the…”
She was about to look down and call whoever called her a silly loli a silly loli, but she didn’t expect to see Xia Xi sitting on the cat’s neck at first glance.
“Ah! The figure really did come back on its own! Xia Yue, could it be that you’re a magical girl hiding beside me? Where’s your wand, let me see! Are you magical girls still recruiting people, what about me, do I qualify?!”
Bai Xiaocha reached out and grabbed Xia Xi, then held him in her palm, looking at Xia Yue with a surprised expression.
In her eyes, Xia Yue seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious mist, turning into one of those magical girls hiding in the shadows of the world, silently protecting humanity.
Seriously, since a possessing ghost guy exists, why can’t a magical girl exist!
And she had long felt something was off about Xia Yue. Before, when Brother Xia Xi, her, and An Xiaoyu swapped bodies, Xia Yue seemed unfazed, not particularly surprised.
Thinking about it now, as a magical girl, she probably encounters supernatural events like that often, right?
“Silly loli.”
“You’re the silly loli!”
Faced with the barrage of questions, Xia Yue was full of question marks.
When did she become a magical girl? If she were a magical girl, she’d definitely drop out of school, stop studying, go home, sit on her brother’s head and do her business! No, wait—sit on her brother’s head and use force to make him hand over his cash!
“Stop! Can you put me on the desk first?”
Xia Xi was held in Bai Xiaocha’s palm. Although he wasn’t being squeezed like before, because Bai Xiaocha was so excited, her arms were shaking up and down, so now he felt dizzy from being swung around like a pendulum.
“Ah, sorry, sorry.”
Hearing Xia Xi’s words, Bai Xiaocha finally held him and placed him on the desk.
Only after setting foot on solid ground did Xia Xi feel relieved.
“Little princess, little princess, what’s the deal with this cat?”
Bai Xiaocha covered her whole head with her textbook and stared at Xia Xi with wide, curious eyes…
