Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 528 - 106 Colorful Cloud Wetland_4

"Your sense of touch is more sensitive than mine."

Xia Liang turned her face and looked at her: "Just like a baby's skin is always more tender than an adult's. Perhaps the younger you are, the more obvious this feeling is. So, is it comfortable for me and uncomfortable for you?"

"I'm older than you." Lin Xiaolu narrowed her eyes: "Don't think about calling me immature in roundabout ways."

"Hmm? Is this considered 'scolding'?"

Xia Liang put on a thoughtful expression, then grinned: "No matter the age, from any angle, I am older than you, right?"

"Huh?"

Lin Xiaolu immediately sat up straight. She was about to stand up and confront Xia Liang but then remembered she was still bathing and it was not suitable to make big movements, so she had to grudgingly give up.

"I also think this tingling sensation feels weird..."

Just as the two were about to start arguing again, Bai Jingxuan spoke up. Unlike Lin Xiaolu who might feel uncomfortable but still continued soaking in the hot spring, Bai Jingxuan directly stood up with a bath towel wrapped around: "Soaking in the water feels horrible."

"See, Bo Xue also thinks this feeling is really strange."

Seeing this, Lin Xiaolu felt as if she got support and her confidence surged: "Among us, you are clearly the odd one out!"

"There's nothing to argue about. After all, she is still in elementary school, indeed a child."

Xia Liang was non-committal, looking unperturbed: "You're two years older than her. Are you really comparing yourself with her on this?

"Hmm..."

Lin Xiaolu wanted to refute Xia Liang's skewed logic but couldn't find a counterargument immediately, so she looked helplessly at Emerald Sparrow. Then, she saw Emerald Sparrow sitting quietly, tightly wrapped in a bath towel, legs curled next to the edge, eyes closed, silent and still.

"Long Dan?" Lin Xiaolu tentatively asked, suspecting the other was asleep.

"What is it?" Emerald Sparrow replied.

"Ah, oh, I saw you with your eyes closed not speaking, I thought you had fallen asleep."

Lin Xiaolu's tone softened, even gently asking: "How do you feel about this hot spring water?"

"What about the issue you guys were arguing over?"

Emerald Sparrow still had her eyes closed, her head completely motionless: "From my personal sensory experience, the feeling of Magic Power blending into the skin with the water flow isn't very comfortable, but it's not unbearable."

She paused for a moment, then added: "Also, for you, this tingling sensation could actually be a sign of improved skin quality. If that's something you need, feeling numb while soaking might actually be a good thing."

Splash.

Slosh.

As her words concluded, two distinct sounds of entering the water followed, Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan almost simultaneously submerged their entire bodies into the water, even burying half of their faces.

The hot spring had suddenly become a lot quieter. The juniors would still speak occasionally, making some noise, but at least there was no more arguing.

Everyone in the bath focused on the tingling sensation from the spring water, ensuring it truly had an effect on themselves. After a while, thinking the tingling sensation had dissipated, Lin Xiaolu finally spoke up again: "Um... Long Dan."

"Hmm?"

"Why have you had your eyes closed since you entered the bath?"

Lin Xiaolu twisted the tips of her hair, trying to squeeze out the water: "Is there some special reason for that?"

Emerald Sparrow's shoulders submerged in the water hesitated slightly, fortunately, the spring water and the steam around hid this minute change.

She lifted her head slightly, her expression unchanged as if she was merely organizing her thoughts, then she responded: "It's for sensory compensation."

"What's that?" Lin Xiaolu was puzzled.

"When one loses a certain sense, the brain enhances the other senses to compensate for the loss of information."

Emerald Sparrow explained seriously: "So close your eyes, keep quiet, and your vision and hearing will temporarily be disabled. This allows you to focus on bathing, feeling the changes in your body."

"Eh... I didn't know bathing in a hot spring required such considerations."

Lin Xiaolu believed Emerald Sparrow's explanation but didn't immediately try it out, because for her, today's bath was already over and she was not planning to focus further on it: "I learned something. As expected, Long Dan, you are impressive."

Emerald Sparrow nodded, showing no intention to continue the conversation—having come up with a fairly reliable reason, she certainly didn't want to slip up by talking too much. She couldn't candidly say "because I have to avoid impropriety, I don't want to see your bodies" in her identity as Emerald Sparrow, so it was best to quickly move past this topic.

Moreover, she felt someone fiddling with her hair.

Emerald Sparrow's hair, being extremely long, was tied up at the back of her head before bathing; now, what she felt was someone tugging at the hair at the back of her head a couple of times.

"What's up?"

After briefly sensing the direction and strength of her hair being pulled, Emerald Sparrow deduced who the person was and directly addressed Xia Liang: "Is there something wrong with my hair?"

"Nothing."

Xia Liang didn't deny it, her voice did not have the embarrassment of being caught in a prank, instead, she commented with a hint of admiration: "Just wanted to say, Young Predecessor, your hair is really nice. Is this also one of the benefits of becoming a full-fledged Magical Girl?"
