My brother couldn't be a corrupted magical girl.

Chapter 63 Gathering at the Noodle Shop

The starry sky, which was usually obscured by dark clouds, was now fully revealed, dazzling and beautiful, as the two walked together on the path of the teaching building.

"Ms. Bai, what are your plans for this weekend?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably stay at home."

"Don't you find it boring and tedious, Mr. Shiro? As a teacher, you should at least be a little more positive and uplifting," Mr. Hoshino said, somewhat puzzled.

"If you can't stay home during the holidays, then the holidays will be meaningless." Bai Yuze spoke the true thoughts in the hearts of every homebody.

"Hoshino-sensei, what about you?"

"...Hmm, I guess I'll go on a trip." Hoshino-sensei said after a moment of thought.

"Ah, a trip that you can just take on a whim is wonderful!" For Bai Yuze, going on a trip during his vacation is just spending money to suffer.

Walking, climbing mountains, taking photos, and carrying all sorts of things for Bai Youqing—it was even more tiring than going to work.

"Teacher Bai, your eyes clearly reveal a deep fear of travel."

"No, not at all."

"Teacher Bai, you sound so fake when you're not telling the truth."

The two walked into the parking shed. It was already late, and most of the teachers had left. There were far fewer cars in the shed, with only four or five left parked there.

One of the black cars and one of the white cars were parked together. Bai Yuze found his black electric car, inserted the key, and waved to Hoshino Seri.

"See you Monday, Hoshino-sensei."

See you Monday, Teacher Bai.

Watching Bai Yuze's departing figure, Hoshino Seri turned her gaze away, got on the white electric scooter, and smiled sweetly with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth.

A faint white light almost swept away the gloom of the night, shining through the window onto the bedside.

Bai Yuze opened his eyes and glanced at his phone.

6:40?!

He was about to be late, so he suddenly raised his head, paused for a moment, and then lay back down.

It's Saturday today, nothing to do.

After a while, he got up again, shook his head, and said, "Your biological clock is really harmful."

Bai Yuze yawned, went into the washroom and quickly washed up.

I opened the refrigerator, picked out a few eggs, and decided to have plain noodles today.

By the time everything was done, it was already 7:30, and Bai Youqing had already gotten up.

After washing up, the girl sat at the dining table, her eyes still sleepy, watching Bai Yuze busily working in the kitchen.

It's so nice to be able to eat breakfast made by my brother every day.

Good morning, Xiaoqing.

Bai Yuze came out carrying two bowls of plain noodles and greeted his sister.

Good morning, brother.

"By the way, Hoshino-sensei is on vacation these past few days, so you'll have to find something to do on your own."

"Mm." Bai Youqing nodded.

His face remained expressionless, but he was overjoyed inside, as he had two more days of free time to learn from Senior Violet.

Last night, that test paper was a real blow to her. She had never scored so low before. Luckily, she had Senior Xia Qing with her, otherwise she would have broken down.

Bai Yuze slurped his noodles, but his thoughts were still on yesterday's class.

He could understand Bai Youqing's low score, because she was a newcomer who had just joined the magical girl group and hadn't learned the basic theories yet.

But what's wrong with Xia Qing? She also failed the test, as if she had never encountered this subject before. You know, the "Magical Girl Code" used to be like multiplication tables for every magical girl; it was something they had to learn.

However, recalling how the Gladiolus mage had dumped the Gladiolus squad on him as if it were a burden when they first met, he seemed to understand something.

Just as he was filled with doubt, his phone vibrated.

I opened WeChat and found a friend request from "Li Xuanyu".

"Hello, Teacher Bai, I am Li Jianguo's daughter. I hope sending a friend request at this time is not bothering you. My father would like to ask when you are free so we can have a meal together."

Bai Yuzhe gave a wry smile; after all, it was from a long time ago.

The girl who used to dare to ride on his head and urinate on him has now become very demure.

Thinking it over, Bai Yuze looked up at Bai Youqing and asked, "Since you're free today, why don't you come with me to Uncle Li's house for lunch? It's been a long time since I've tasted Uncle Li's cooking."

"...Okay." Bai Youqing hesitated for a moment, but when she saw that Senior Violet hadn't sent any class information in CCSA, she agreed. Uncle Li had been very good to her when she was a child, almost like a godfather.

Bai Yuze accepted Li Xuanyu's friend request.

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit."

"And don't be so polite, I won't show you any mercy."

You know, when we were kids, you and Bai Youqing were two little devils. You tore up all my treasured comic books, claiming it would make me focus on my studies. Now that you're in my hands, don't expect any good days ahead of you.

Li Xuanyu: "......"

In the morning, Li Xuanyu got up very early. She originally wanted to make a phone call directly, but then she thought that it might be impolite to make a phone call directly.

What if the other person was sleeping? So she chose to add them as a WeChat friend. After adding, deleting, modifying, and checking for a while, and confirming that there were no problems, she finally clicked send.

After sending it, her heart was pounding.

What if the other person is still sleeping? What if they think I'm a scammer? What if...?

Then, with a "ding," the other party accepted her friend request and sent her a long message.

What a joke! This is definitely talking about her. How could she possibly do something so despicable?

Li Xuanyu blushed slightly, but after the other person mentioned her embarrassing past, she felt less nervous.

Thinking about it, she typed another message and sent it.

Li Xuanyu: "Teacher Bai, how many people are on your side? I need to inform my father to reserve seats at Fukangxiang."

Bai Yuzhe: "No need, Bai Youqing and I came here just to try Uncle Li's cooking."

Li Xuanyu: "Okay, sure."

Li Xuanyu put her phone away, ignoring the customers in the shop, and ran to the noodle shop next door. "Dad, Teacher Bai just replied and said that he and his sister will be coming over for dinner today."

Li Jianguo raised his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, glanced at the store, and seeing few customers, simply said:

"Okay, there aren't many people on Saturdays, so let's just close down for today."

"That's right, Dad. You're busy every day of the year, you should have taken a break long ago." Li Xuanyu ran over, took a towel and wiped the flour off Li Jianguo's forehead, complaining.

"It's okay, let's keep going for a few more years. Once you graduate from university, I'll be able to relax."

Li Xuanyu was speechless, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

After a while, she decided to change the subject.

"Let's not talk about me anymore. How old is that Teacher Bai this year? When I looked him up a few days ago, he seemed so young."

"Let me think... Hmm... I should be twenty-four or twenty-five today, right?" Li Jianguo suddenly slapped his forehead. "Oh right, now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that next week is Xiaobai's birthday."

"Huh? You even remember his birthday? He's not your illegitimate child, is he?!"

Li Jianguo immediately flicked Li Xuanyu's forehead with his thumb and said irritably, "What are you thinking? If I had a son as smart as him, I would have thrown you in the trash long ago. But what you said isn't entirely unreasonable."

If I had adopted him back then, I'd be living a life of luxury now! What a pity, that old bastard Bai Xingjian got lucky; he would have been a perfect son or son-in-law.

Thinking back on the past, Li Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. Time waits for no one. In the blink of an eye, the two little girls who were only calf-length have now grown into graceful young women.

Especially Bai Youqing, that girl, she's almost taller than him now.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around, and asked, "Girl, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"Squid." Li Xuanyu blurted out without thinking.

Her mind is currently focused on what her father just said: adoption?

Teacher Bai was originally an orphan, but was later adopted by Bai Youqing's father. Her father must have had the same idea back then.

If he had been adopted, he would have had an older brother. Even if he hadn't been adopted, his father had likely shown some concern for Teacher Bai.

Thinking about it that way, it's not surprising that the other person is so familiar with her.

"Squid, right? Okay, keep an eye on the breakfast shop too, close it when I get back."

"Um."
