Dark-colored Fairy Tale: Seven Magicians - Chapter 15
Chapter 15
“Since we were little, he’s always pushed me to study hard. He told me that even after I get married, I need to take good care of him and give him a privileged life. But I still liked him. After all, he was my older brother, and he was good to me.”
“So, I always forced myself to be excellent, because only by being more excellent could I provide him with a high-quality life.”
Hearing this, Liu Menglu was completely shocked. Lu Yumo not only sucked the life out of his parents, but he also wanted to suck his sister dry?
Lu Yuting’s narration continued, “Later, when I entered high school, my grades were completely crushed by you. Lu Yumo was very angry and thought it was because I wasn’t working hard enough.”
“But later, as I continued to be completely overshadowed by you, he finally felt that I might never be able to surpass you. So he turned his attention to you. He hoped that by becoming your boyfriend, he could be taken care of by you forever.”
“The first time he gave me a gift, it was to get me to ask about your preferences. The first time he helped me take care of my orchids, it was to get me to arrange a meeting for him with you. That scumbag!”
Hearing this, Liu Menglu’s expression also became a bit dark. She had no idea that Lu Yumo had such a motive for wanting to confess to her. Although she had rejected his confession, it still felt a little disgusting.
Seeing how bad Liu Menglu’s face looked, Lu Yuting suddenly started to laugh. She laughed very happily.
She patted Liu Menglu’s shoulder and said, “Now he’s dead. Everything has disappeared into smoke. So why don’t you choose to be happy?”
Liu Menglu forced a smile. She was about to say something similar, but in the next second, Lu Yuting was knocked unconscious by Chloe.
Liu Menglu was stunned. Chloe just glanced at the sky, which was about to have a downpour, and took Lu Yuting home. She won’t remember him tomorrow. That kind of family will be better off without a vampire like him. Thinking of this, Chloe couldn’t help but glance at Liu Menglu.
Children raised in different families are different. Compared to a scumbag like Lu Yumo, the Chinese-American man who died at her hands was truly excellent. Being loved and cared for by such an excellent brother must be every girl’s wish, right?
But that good brother was erased by her…
Thinking of this, Chloe’s mood became a little heavy, and she sped up her departure.
Seeing the magical girl she had just found about to run away, Liu Menglu quickly chased after her. “Don’t go! I want to be a magical girl too. Take me with you.”
“We are not magical girls; we are magical beings.” Chloe, afraid that Liu Menglu would fall while chasing her, turned around, her face full of disapproval.
“What’s the difference?” Liu Menglu tilted her head, confused. In her opinion, they were the same thing.
This time, Chloe was silent. A deep sadness crossed her cold, golden eyes. “Magical beings are different from magical girls in anime. You are not suited to be a magical being.”
“Why not?!” Liu Menglu quickly pressed her. She had loved magical girls for so many years. Now that she had a rare chance to become one, how could she not grab it with all her might?
Chloe didn’t answer. She carried Lu Yuting and quickly disappeared at the end of the road.
Without intentionally waiting for Liu Menglu, Chloe’s speed was something Liu Menglu couldn’t keep up with. After Liu Menglu chased her for a short while, she found that Chloe, who had just been in front of her, had completely disappeared.
Although she knew she could find Chloe at Lu Yuting’s house, Liu Menglu looked at the dark, oppressive clouds and finally took a deep breath. She grabbed her bag and walked toward her house.
I didn’t succeed this time, but the next time I see her, I can shamelessly beg her.
With this thought, Liu Menglu’s slightly gloomy mood lifted again.
…
Shortly after Liu Menglu got home, the long-brewing storm finally poured down from the sky.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Liu Menglu couldn’t help but worry.
That magical girl won’t get wet, will she?
Tossing and turning, Liu Menglu didn’t know when she fell asleep. The dreams were not good. The giant monster was the most realistic nightmare. Although a magical girl always came to the rescue in the end, the immense sense of fear when she was all alone still consumed Liu Menglu.
She woke up the next day.
Liu Menglu shook her dizzy, groggy head. She could still vaguely feel the extreme fear from the night before.
Humans were such a species. When you have no one to rely on, you can use your own efforts to suppress your fear. But once you enter a safe environment, that fear that should have disappeared keeps wrapping itself around you.
Looking at the dark circles under her eyes, Liu Menglu suddenly felt that her perfect image as a campus goddess might be ruined today.
She let out a long sigh and pulled back the curtains. Unlike the lightning and thunder of the night before, today’s sky was crystal clear. The sun shone with a warm glow, chasing away her night of nightmares.
However, Liu Menglu knew that this was just the beginning. She had another battle to fight today.
Looking at the students bustling about, Liu Menglu stood at the door of Class 5, Year 3. She felt a little nervous for some reason.
Lu Yumo died yesterday. What would these students think today? How did the teacher announce Lu Yumo’s death?
Liu Menglu was a well-known person at school, so as soon as she arrived at Class 5, Year 3, she was surrounded by a large group of students.
A senior student with glasses looked at Liu Menglu, her eyes shining, and asked, “Hi, are you here for something?”
Liu Menglu looked at the girl’s kind expression. The psychological pep talk she had given herself over a dozen times that morning finally paid off.
She took a deep breath and gave a perfect smile. “Hi, I was wondering if a student named Lu Yumo is absent from your class today?”
Hearing the name Lu Yumo, a look of confusion clearly flashed in the girl’s eyes. She hesitated for a moment and then answered carefully, “Junior, are you sure you have the right person? We don’t have anyone by that name in our class.”
Liu Menglu was stunned, then nodded. She gave an apologetic smile and left the third-year building. When she returned to her own class, she saw Lu Yuting sitting there, diligently reviewing the questions she had highlighted.
Looking at the exam paper, Liu Menglu’s mouth was slightly agape. She didn’t know how to ask. Should I say, “Your brother died yesterday. Are your parents sad?”
Thinking of this, Liu Menglu felt a headache coming on. She kept glancing at Lu Yuting, who was diligently working on her questions.
Finally, after Liu Menglu had looked her way for the fifteenth time, Lu Yuting couldn’t take it anymore and said, “You! What are you staring at me for! Don’t think that just because you highlighted some key points for me, and yesterday…”
