Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 493 - 99: One Night
Because she had to work outside during the day, Emerald Sparrow was responsible for the household chores after dinner this evening. By the time she had finished washing the dishes and tidied up the tools, it was already half past seven.
Swinging her slightly damp hands from soaking them in water for a long time, Emerald Sparrow walked into the living room and saw Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang sitting on the couch, playing with their phones.
Xia Liang, who always seemed more perceptive than Lin Xiaolu, noticed Emerald Sparrow first and waved, saying, "You’ve worked hard."
Lin Xiaolu then looked up belatedly and chimed in, "You’ve worked hard."
"It’s nothing, how was the special training today?" Without engaging in further small talk, Emerald Sparrow walked into the living room and asked directly.
"The progress is barely okay... After all, Sister Hong’s teachings are quite difficult."
Xia Liang blinked, "But truth be told, after learning for so long, there’s quite a lot I don’t even know what I’m learning."
"I know it’s hard, so keeping up the progress is good."
Emerald Sparrow nodded, "The study of techniques is supposed to be a relatively long-term matter. It’s just that we are limited by time, and my personal ability is also limited, which is why the tasks at hand are so urgent, and I can only ask for your extra effort."
"No, this, how should I say it..."
Puffing her cheeks, Xia Liang let out a sigh: "Math and physics often can’t be advanced by sheer effort alone..."
"Are you stuck?" Emerald Sparrow approached the two.
"Not exactly, it’s just really, really, really difficult."
Using three "reallys" to describe her situation, Xia Liang silently glanced at Lin Xiaolu beside her and seeing no reaction, she dawdled, "That’s why I have to go to class with Sister Hong tonight, thinking about the daunting tasks ahead makes it feel so tough, is there anyone who can give some encouragement to helpless me right now..."
"Keep going." Lin Xiaolu patted her shoulder.
"I really need some encouragement now." Xia Liang’s smile froze for a moment, but she quickly carried on as if nothing had happened.
"Like this?" Hearing her repeat this request, even the obtuse would understand what she meant. Thus, Emerald Sparrow crouched down on the spot, clenching her fist slightly and extending it forward.
Seeing the fist Emerald Sparrow extended in front of her, Xia Liang gasped.
"Young predecessor."
"What’s wrong?"
"Who taught you to encourage people this way?"
"Umm... We often do this during battles, right?"
Emerald Sparrow pondered briefly, then opened her tightly clenched fist: "Or do you prefer this kind? Should we stack our hands together?"
"...Let’s just bump fists."
Their communication finally ended with Xia Liang’s compromise. Discover more stories at novelbuddy
Their fists gently tapped each other in mid-air, then they both pushed forward strongly and then retracted.

"Keep going."
Emerald Sparrow encouraged her this way.
"...Yeah."
Xia Liang, after a short silence, smiled and responded, "By the way, the new clothes look pretty."
"Let’s not talk about that."
Brusquely shifting the topic, Emerald Sparrow turned her head to look at Lin Xiaolu: "Okay, we should go to class now, Bai Mei."
"Okay."
Lin Xiaolu, who had been silently watching their interaction, finally turned off her phone screen, stood up, and for some reason, Emerald Sparrow perceived a hint of "obedience" in this rebellious girl.
"Let’s go, Emerald Sparrow."
As Lin Xiaolu said this, she walked two steps ahead to follow behind Emerald Sparrow, then taking advantage of the moment Emerald Sparrow turned away, she chuckled at Xia Liang and flashed a victory sign with two fingers.
Xia Liang rolled her eyes at her, uninterested in retorting.
Seeing that Xia Liang didn’t respond, Lin Xiaolu didn’t continue to provoke her, but instead caught up with Emerald Sparrow’s pace, holding her phone out: "Emerald Sparrow, do you want to see the photos I took for you in the afternoon?"
"What photos?" Emerald Sparrow curiously asked.
"The new clothes." Lin Xiaolu stated matter-of-factly.
"If you guys think they look good, that’s fine."
After a moment of silence, Emerald Sparrow did not take the offered phone, but replied somewhat helplessly, "I actually don’t really care about these things."
"Take a look anyway, I took many photos, picked out the best ones for a long time, and even edited them."
Lin Xiaolu whined, "I spent all the time before and after meals doing this, it’d be a waste if you don’t look."
"With the national assessment coming so soon, where do you find all this spare time..."
Emerald Sparrow looked at Lin Xiaolu sideways, about to lecture her, but then seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped. She changed her approach, "What photos need hours of editing?"
"Ta-da!"
Seizing the moment, Lin Xiaolu ran ahead of Emerald Sparrow, holding up her phone screen: "Now it’s time to show off my personal talent— Whoa!"
Then, before she could finish speaking, as she walked backward she stepped onto the staircase, causing her to lose her footing along with her phone flying out.
The brief scream stopped almost instantly, as fortunately Emerald Sparrow quickly reached out to grasp Lin Xiaolu’s arm.
This posture lasted for several seconds, and after a moment of eye contact, Lin Xiaolu belatedly grasped the nearby stair railing with her other hand.
