“I say, is it really okay for us to do this?”
“Shhh, what’s wrong with it? As her older sister, can’t I see how my little sister finally leaves the single life?”
Behind a telephone pole, Luo Shuangyue and Xia Mo were hiding within Stealth Magic, their eyes shining as they watched Yi and Luo Shuangxing sitting across from each other not far away.
After a few days of mental preparation and an intense psychological struggle, Yi finally couldn’t hold back any longer and invited Luo Shuangxing out.
Luo Shuangxing had likely realized something as well, as she had specially dressed herself up before heading out today.
Even Luo Shuangxing, the girl who was invited, had put in the effort to dress up, so Yi, as the one who extended the invitation, naturally wouldn’t go without any grooming.
This young girl was also dressed beautifully today, even wearing the traditional Elf clothing that she usually couldn’t bear to wear.
“Do you think those two can succeed today?” Luo Shuangyue asked Xia Mo.
This question really lacked any technical depth. Xia Mo rolled her eyes. She felt that the real suspense today should be whether Luo Shuangxing would come home for dinner.
After confirming their relationship, shouldn’t two girls in the honeymoon phase do the things they were supposed to do? Like whispering sweet nothings, flirting, and playing little games that only couples could play.
“They will definitely succeed. Look at the way they’re looking at each other; their gazes are practically sticking together,” Xia Lin said, pointing at the two girls sitting across from each other.
How Luo Shuangxing and Yi’s relationship had become so close was something she wasn’t actually very clear about.
During that time, she and Luo Shuangyue had been busy with survival in the Otherworld wilderness.
However, if she had to guess, Xia Mo could probably figure out most of it.
At that time, Yi was Luo Shuangxing’s only friend in the Magic Department. With just a little bit of friction between the two of them, sparks were bound to fly.
Magical Girls’ emotions were very rich.
As long as their relationship wasn’t too bad, they would definitely grow closer after spending time together.
If they happened to catch each other’s eye, the relationship would progress by leaps and bounds.
Furthermore, Yi and Luo Shuangxing already had a connection before Yi even became a Magical Girl, and it was quite deep at that.
Under this premise, it would be a miracle if no sparks flew between them.
“What’s the point of just staring? They should say something!” Watching the two girls who still hadn’t said a word and were just staring at each other, Luo Shuangyue felt a bit anxious.
‘I went through all the trouble of playing matchmaker for you two, and it wasn’t so you two could stare at each other like idiots.’
“Don’t be impatient. Their personalities are just like that. Believe it or not, they already know everything by now; they’re just too shy to say the words.”
“I believe you, but someone has to say it eventually.”
“It should be soon. I bet someone will be unable to hold it in after a few more minutes of staring.”
Luo Shuangxing felt her throat go dry.
The moment she saw Yi today, she knew her intuition was right. Today was truly an important day. Fortunately, she had also dressed up; otherwise, she would have felt utterly ashamed in front of an Yi like this.
But after sitting down, Luo Shuangxing suddenly didn’t know what she should say.
What could she say? Should she just ask Yi directly if she had feelings for her? Luo Shuangxing wasn’t that bold or shameless yet.
She could feel the heat and expectation in Yi’s eyes, along with a tiny hint of hesitation.
And her own gaze was likely the same.
They were both waiting for the other to speak.
The awkward silence lasted for a very long time. Finally, Luo Shuangxing couldn’t take it anymore.
“I—”
“I—”
But as luck would have it, the two of them spoke at the exact same moment. This made the atmosphere even more awkward.
Yi’s face suddenly turned bright red. “Let’s just walk around for a bit…”
It wasn’t right to just sit here staring blankly at each other, after all. Luo Shuangxing nodded.
The two girls stood up and somewhat awkwardly took each other’s hand, interlacing their fingers as they walked toward the bustling street.
This was something they hadn’t dared to do before, but today, they had both coincidentally chosen to muster their courage.
There was no active or passive party; they had both reached out to the other at the same time.
Their hands were tightly clasped together, and they both coincidentally showed a timid and shy smile to the other.
“Huh? That’s it? It’s over? What about the confession?” Luo Shuangyue watched her sister and Yi, who seemed to have finished, with an expression of disbelief.
‘What kind of situation is this? How did you two just hold hands and walk off together without saying anything?’ She could obviously tell that her sister and Yi were officially together now. If this didn’t count as a success, then not many couples would count as successful.
But where was the confession she wanted to see? Where did the confession go!
“To them, a confession isn’t that important. As long as they’ve confirmed each other’s feelings, it’s enough.” Xia Mo, on the other hand, could understand the thoughts of those two children.
Ultimately, a confession was just a way to confirm the other’s feelings—the horn of victory blown after a win. Its existence wasn’t mandatory.
Like Luo Shuangxing and Yi, having everything understood without words was also a way to confirm a relationship.
That hand they both reached out to each other was a silent confession.
Compared to saying everything out loud, Xia Mo actually felt that this way—saying nothing but already being in sync and holding hands—was also very good. It was sweeter and allowed one to feel the delicate emotions that belonged to them even more.
“Tch. Let’s go, we’re following them. I want to see if those two come home tonight.”
“If Shuangxing finds out, she’ll kill you.”
“It’s fine, she won’t kill me. Besides, Mom will definitely support me!”
Luo Shuangyue indicated that it wasn’t a big problem; she wasn’t fighting alone. Recording her sister’s first date was a very important matter.
She believed that even her own mother would support her in this.
“Mentor…” Xia Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
Recalling White Night’s personality, she realized that Luo Shuangyue was actually right. In these minor matters, her Mentor would never hide her mischievous streak.
She wouldn’t stop Luo Shuangyue from spying on Luo Shuangxing’s date, and of course, she wouldn’t stop Luo Shuangxing’s retaliation afterward.
To her, these were just small internal family conflicts.
“Let’s go, let’s go. Do you think Shuangxing has secretly practiced her techniques and was just waiting for this day?” While pulling Xia Mo along to follow her departing sisters, Luo Shuangyue whispered under her breath.
Hearing this made Xia Mo even more speechless. ‘What does she mean by “practiced her techniques”? Shuangxing is a very pure girl, okay!’
Even she had only started intentionally seeking out knowledge in that area after she found out that Luo Shuangyue was a girl.
“I feel like neither of them knows how. Even if they don’t go home tonight, they probably won’t do anything. At most, it’ll just be some hugging and cuddling.”
“Eh? That’s so lame.”
“Are you any better than Shuangxing?” Xia Mo glanced at Luo Shuangyue, who had completely become the submissive one, indicating that she had no right to say those words.
