Chapter 20 Starry Sky Tales
Chapter 20 Starry Sky Tales
For the next hour or two, Bai Youqing led Bai Yuzhe toward the fluffy toy shop, where they looked around and touched everything.
Amidst the reluctant gazes of the dolls and toys, Bai Youqing pulled Bai Yuzhe into the jewelry store. This store didn't sell the expensive gold and silver ornaments displayed on the first floor, but rather simple ornaments that young girls like: hair clips, headbands, bracelets, and necklaces. They were cheap but pretty and durable, and it wouldn't be a big deal if they were lost.
Amidst endless choices, the girl's gaze lingered between the Losiman four-leaf clover bracelet and the Starry Night Story bracelet, seemingly conflicted. She turned to Bai Yuze with a questioning look, "Brother, which one do you think looks better?"
"I think they all look good, why don't you buy them all?"
Bai Yuzhe glanced at it casually.
The Rossiman four-leaf clover bracelet has a pale blue gem in its mouth, which sparkles under the light.
The Starry Sky Story bracelet is shaped like a blooming star, and compared to the former, it is more understated and meaningful.
Overall, they each have their own merits.
"I don't care, I just want you to choose one!"
"Let's talk about Starry Night." Bai Yuze thought for a moment and chose the latter, hoping that his sister could keep a low profile.
As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat." My younger sister has a great talent for magical girls and will definitely make a name for herself in the future. However, this will also bring all sorts of open and hidden attacks that are hard to guard against.
"Okay, I'll listen to my brother."
Upon hearing her brother's recommendation, Bai Youqing readily chose the Starry Sky Story bracelet, put it on, and examined it in front of the mirror. It indeed suited her temperament perfectly.
On the way to Guancheng District Park
"How much? I'll send it to you."
Sitting in the dark blue seat by the window, Bai Yuze glanced at the bag in his hand.
And you know what? It feels so different when you can bring up your own things one day.
But thinking about how heartbroken my sister looked when she took money out of her savings account, these outfits must have been expensive.
Unexpectedly, Bai Youqing, who had just been looking sullen, immediately waved her hand and said domineeringly, "I don't need you to give me any, I have plenty of money."
Are you sure?
"Sure!"
"Alright."
Bai Yuze clicked his tongue. His younger sister was different after becoming a magical girl; she spoke with much more confidence than before.
Sitting next to Bai Yuzhe, Bai Youqing stared at her phone, searching for fun attractions in the parks of Dongguan City: haunted houses, bungee jumping, river crossings on the Mi River, Ferris wheels, pirate ships...
Ultimately, my attention was drawn to the Ferris wheel, which I heard offered a panoramic view of the entire Yeqiu City.
Bai Youqing had wanted to come for a long time, but Gu Xiaorou had never dared to. She felt that it was meaningless to appreciate the scenery alone; she should either come with her best friend or with her favorite or closest person.
After deciding on their destination, the two didn't rush there. They first found a fast food restaurant, ate and drank their fill, and then set off.
The park in Guancheng District is one of the famous attractions in Guancheng District, covering an area of nearly two million square meters, and has a wide variety of activities and attractions.
Naturally, the tickets aren't cheap either, costing 240 yuan per person.
This time, Bai Youqing didn't pretend to be rich; Bai Yuze paid for it.
It's easy to imagine just how severe Bai Youqing's financial loss was this time.
Upon entering the park and receiving her wristband, Bai Youqing, who had planned ahead, took out a park map from a nearby notice board. Her eyes scanned the map, and finally she pointed to the Ferris wheel, exclaiming, "I want to ride this!"
"Xiaoqing, I think the view from the Ferris wheel is definitely the most beautiful at dusk."
After a slight pause, Bai Yuze pointed to the promotional image of a live-action CS:GO match next to him and said slowly, "How about we go play this first?"
From the moment he entered the park, his eyes were immediately drawn to the poster. If you want to experience a real gunfight, you have to do it in real life; shooting games on the computer just don't have the same fun.
Once upon a time, the only time she, as a magical girl, made a request to the authorities was to use real guns for target practice. However, before her request was approved, she was kidnapped to the abyss by the demon girls.
Seeing the unusually intense look in her brother's eyes, Bai Youqing decided to go along with him this time.
She is now a mature magical girl, no longer the spoiled and willful little sister who needed her brother's care.
Sigh, I've sacrificed so much for this family...
"Okay." Bai Youqing nodded, without objection.
Bai Youqing knew a little about her brother's hobbies; no boy disliked playing with swords and spears, and she liked them too.
"Hey...hey, Xiaoqing, when did you become so easy to talk to? I was all ready to go ride the Ferris wheel first."
Bai Yuzhe turned his head and looked at his younger sister with disbelief in his eyes.
"How shameless of you!"
Bai Youqing grabbed the soft flesh around Bai Yuzhe's waist and twisted it hard.
"Hiss! Wrong, wrong, where did you learn such a vicious trick?"
As the two were playfully bickering, and Bai Yuze and his companion were preparing to head to the passenger train to their destination, a tall woman in light blue work clothes approached them, saying apologetically.
"Hello, I forgot to remind you when we were selling tickets. The park is having a cool summer event today. The park will randomly select winners based on the ticket numbers you purchased. The prizes include, but are not limited to, free admission, free food and drinks. We need to register your contact information. Is now a convenient time for you?"
"No need, we..."
Before Bai Yuzhe could finish speaking, Bai Youqing had already covered her brother's mouth tightly. "Convenient, very convenient. Where do I need to register?"
"Haha, you two have such a good relationship. You just need to register here."
The tall woman, with a professional smile, took out a folder and told Bai Youqing how to fill it out.
In about a minute or two, the required information was filled out, and the staff left.
Bai Youqing looked at Bai Yuze, who was wiping his mouth, and said angrily, "Are you disgusted with me?"
"Nonsense, your hands are sweaty and filthy in this heat."
"You're talking nonsense. This beautiful girl smells wonderful from head to toe."
Bai Yuzhe glanced at her disdainfully. Before high school, Bai Youqing couldn't stand the smell after returning from physical training every day. She didn't want to do it herself and always asked him for help when throwing old clothes into the washing machine.
It wasn't until high school that my younger sister started to adopt a gentler approach.
He'll remember her tomboyish image for the rest of his life.
Happy times are always fleeting. By the time the two of them came out, it was already getting dark. Bai Yuze was covered in colorful stains, while Bai Youqing had very few bullet wounds.
"You're really bad, you little rascal!"
When Bai Youqing walked out of the venue, her expression towards her brother was full of mockery, and her words were full of the air of a little devil.
"Don't you have any self-awareness about how I've become?"
Bai Yuze patted the dust off his body. The dust looked like a lot, but it was actually very easy to clean; it all fell off with a light pat.
Bai Youqing covered her nose and quickly moved away, saying with disdain, "I didn't ask you to come along and take a bullet for me."
Despite saying that, her eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay, I won't help you next time."
"Hmph! You dare?"
Bai Youqing huffed and then hugged Bai Yuze's arm again.
After boarding the passenger train in the park area, they arrived at the base of the Ferris wheel in about ten minutes.
The queue was quite long, after all, the view from the Ferris wheel at dusk is the most beautiful.
Before going inside, Bai Youqing was full of interest and excitement.
But when it was actually her turn, looking at the Ferris wheel in front of her, she couldn't help but feel her legs go weak, she shivered, and held her brother's hand tightly, not daring to let go, and she dared not move her whole body easily.
However, as the Ferris wheel slowly turned, she gradually relaxed.
Looking out the transparent window, the Ferris wheel slowly traced a beautiful arc in the air. The colorful neon lights and ever-changing skyscrapers made the crowds below appear as tiny as ants.
At that moment, Bai Youqing felt the sensation of flying for the first time, as if she were being protected by a soft feather, with her closest person sitting beside her.
However, an inappropriate phone vibration sounded at that moment.
"DuangDuang!"
The beautiful scene was disrupted. Bai Youqing glanced at her brother, who was leaning against the window, admiring the scenery outside, seemingly unaware that her phone was ringing.
He took his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was a message group exclusively for magical girls.
The group admin, Sister Yuyi, is tagging all members.
"Traces of the Villainess have been found near the park in Dongguan City. Please be aware and do not act on your own. I will notify everyone if there are any new updates. Please pay attention to group messages."
The park in Dongguan City? Isn't this the place where my brother and I are right now?
The evil witch organization, known as the Villainess Witches, has left its mark on many instances of monster appearances and destruction in its study notes. They are not simply categorized as good or evil.
If the monsters become too powerful, they will stand with humanity against the monster invasion. However, when humanity is able to annihilate the monsters in large numbers, they will reappear to hinder the magical girls.
Bai Youqing had no liking for this two-faced organization.
But now, her Green Ivy Star is still with Sister Yuyi, and her brother is right next to her, so Bai Youqing felt a little uneasy.
More than anything, she was afraid of Captain Yuyi. Her Green Ivy Star was still with her. If she found out that she had disobeyed, would she never be able to get the Green Ivy Star again in her lifetime?
For a moment, a myriad of thoughts flooded my mind.
The best course of action now is to pretend that we know nothing.
After we finish this activity, we should go home quickly so she won't make any mistakes...
In the end, she still posted her whereabouts in the group chat; she couldn't gamble with her brother's life.
"Sister Yuyi, my brother and I are in the park in Dongguan City right now."
Chen Yuyi: "......."
"I've emphasized again and again that these are turbulent times, so please don't go out..."
"But you said it was nighttime that day, and it's daytime now."
"You're quite stubborn, girl. I won't say any more. You and your brother shouldn't wander off. I'll get Xia Qing and Han Xue here right away!"
From the continuous messages on WeChat, Bai Youqing could sense the captain's resentment and anger.
Bai Youqing felt wronged after being blamed by the captain. How could she be blamed for this?
I finally managed to get out and have some fun with my brother, but before we even had a chance to enjoy the scenery, this happened. Is my luck really that bad?
