Under One Person: The Forbidden Files of the Magician

Inside the retro-luxury private room,

The warm yellow light illuminated the table full of exquisite Beijing-style delicacies.

Xu Si was drinking with Lu Jin, whose face was rosy, and boasting about his past "achievements," while Xu San occasionally chimed in with a word or two.

Feng Baobao was completely immersed in her own world, her chopsticks flying, her cheeks bulging, eating like some kind of animal that hadn't eaten for three days... focused on eating.

Lu Linglong sat next to Lu Xiaobai.

Watching him intently devour the peanuts from the Kung Pao Chicken, one after another.

She quietly took out her phone, leaned forward slightly, lowered her voice, and said with a hint of embarrassment, "Xiaobai, um... there were too many people before and I didn't add them, hehe..." She scratched her head awkwardly.

Seemingly to cover up this slight shyness and embarrassment,

She immediately turned her head, raising her voice slightly, and looked at Feng Baobao, who was engrossed in her work across from her:

"Feng Baobao, how about we add one more? More friends mean more happiness!" The tone was questioning.

Feng Baobao lifted her sauce-covered face and stared blankly at Lu Linglong.

He glanced at his phone again, then nodded and gave a muffled "hmm" as a sign of agreement.

This scene caught the attention of Lu Jin and Xu Si, who exchanged a meaningful smile that seemed to reveal all.

Xu San frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Seeing this, Xu Si slapped Xu San on the shoulder, grinned, and conveyed the message with his eyes: It's okay, brother, it's time for the baby to have his own circle of friends. This is good.

Xu San watched as the baby imitated Lu Linglong's way of using a mobile phone, and his brows gradually relaxed.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

In the end, Xu Si and Xu San, unable to hold their liquor, both collapsed onto the table, snoring loudly, completely drunk and unconscious.

Although Old Master Lu Jin's face was flushed, he reeked of alcohol, and his eyes were somewhat glazed over.

But that indomitable spirit was at an all-time high.

He popped open another bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor) with a "snap," and, facing Feng Baobao who still looked dazed and was gulping down the whole bottle as if it were water, roared with heroic spirit:

"Continue... Feng Baobao!"

"I'm going all out today! I refuse to believe... I can't outdrink a little brat like you!"

Feng Baobao blinked her clear, big eyes and naturally picked up a new bottle.

A strange aura of "stubborn to the end, ready to fight if you disagree" suddenly erupted from Lu Jin—clearly, the old man was completely out of his mind.

the other side,

Lu Linglong was strolling through the night market in Beijing with Lu Xiaobai.

Under the guise of showing him around local customs and culture, the whole trip turned into Lu Xiaobai's frenzied spree of various food stalls.

Fried sausage, grilled squid, jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), donkey roll...

Lu Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he kept tapping his fingers.

Before they knew it, their arms were full of fragrant, steaming hot snacks.

Sitting on a quiet bench by the river in the park, the moonlight, as smooth as a mirror, spilled onto the shimmering surface of the river, outlining the silhouettes of two youthful figures.

Lu Linglong took a bite of the fried skewer and asked casually:

"By the way, Xiaobai, aren't you in school now? At your age, you should still be in high school, right?" She turned her head, her eyes filled with curiosity in the moonlight.

"Um... I've graduated."

Lu Xiaobai was busy eating a fried chicken leg and gave a somewhat vague answer.

"Huh? You graduated high school so quickly?" Lu Linglong's eyes lit up, and she subconsciously moved closer to Lu Xiaobai, bringing the two of them even closer.

"That university..."

"University?" Lu Xiaobai swallowed the meat in his mouth, a signature, slightly proud smile curving his lips.

"Hmph, don't let my young appearance fool you. I graduated from MIT at fourteen and achieved the 'Supreme Title' at fifteen—the world's most brilliant genius!"

He put down the chicken bone, placed his hands on his hips, and slightly raised his chin. The moonlight seemed to fall on his confident demeanor. "By the way, I'm nineteen this year! So don't treat me like a kid, okay?"

"Huh?! You're nineteen?!" This time, Lu Linglong was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at the boy beside her, with his delicate features, clear eyes, and a touch of youthful arrogance.

It's impossible to associate him with words like "graduated from MIT at fourteen," "supreme title," and "nineteen years old."

This stark contrast instantly ignited her burning thirst for knowledge and curiosity.

She suddenly remembered something.

His eyes were wide open, his hands were clasped together in front of his chest (like a devout believer making a wish), his body leaned slightly forward, and his face was filled with longing and pleading:

"Wow! That's right! Little White, Little White!"

"Could you show me that thing you conjured up back then?"

"That's it! It's super cool! A hundred times more awesome than the magic wands in the movies! Please! I'll buy you lots and lots of delicious food next time!"

Good heavens, so the money for that snack spree was all sponsored by Miss Lu!

Lu Xiaobai's little bit of pride crumbled instantly under Lu Linglong's sincere (and tempting) praise.

He chuckled.

He snapped his fingers crisply with a flourish.

"Buzz!!"

The space seemed to ripple slightly, and a completely black staff that seemed to absorb all light appeared out of thin air!

The staff is not straight, but has an elegant and smooth spiral curve, and its surface is engraved with countless fine and mysterious runes that emit a faint blue light.

But the most eye-catching part is the staff head!

It is not a single structure, but rather a mysterious gemstone that is inlaid with two completely different yet harmoniously coexisting gemstones!

Two gems floated out of thin air atop the spiral staff.

One is mesmerizing and ethereal, the other is fiery and profound; together they form the core of the staff's power.

The staff hovered silently in front of Lu Xiaobai, exuding a mysterious aura that was both thrilling and captivating.

"Wow--!"

Lu Linglong's exclamation almost came out of her mouth.

His eyes were fixed intently on the staff, a work of art.

"I...can I..." She reached out her hand, then withdrew it timidly, looking cautiously at Lu Xiaobai, her excitement mixed with disbelief.

Lu Xiaobai tried hard to maintain his "genius" composure, feigning reluctance and pouting:

"Hmph, I'll only show you for a little while! Only a genius like me can use this. You should be grateful and worship it!"

With his will, the magnificent staff slowly floated to Lu Linglong's front.

Lu Linglong held her breath, extended her slightly trembling fingers, and touched the cold staff very gently.

She dared not exert any force.

I carefully traced the spiral pattern with my fingertips, feeling the faint energy pulse emanating from beneath the runes.

Then her gaze was drawn to the two gems.

Look at the dreamy, flowing rainbow on the left, and then look at the deep, fiery heat on the right, which seems to contain molten lava.

He kept whispering "Wow," "Amazing," and "This color is amazing!"

Completely immersed in the wonder of alchemical creations.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Lu Linglong glanced at Lu Xiaobai beside her, who was happily munching on a fried chicken leg.

She pretended to still be admiring the staff, and asked in a casual, conversational tone, as if it were just a casual question:

"Um... Xiaobai, you're so amazing, so... is there a girl you like? Or... a certain type you like?"

Lu Xiaobai's mind was completely occupied by the food, and his head was blank.

In a daze, I seemed to see a tall, blurry silhouette with a green afterimage, but the feeling was extremely faint, as if seen through a layer of frosted glass.

After all, as an avatar that carries memories and power, he had not truly experienced the unforgettable emotions of the original body and could not empathize with that sorrow.

He swallowed the chicken in his mouth and thought for a moment.

He answered honestly, "Hmm... I don't think so. There are just some annoying girls." His tone was relaxed and unburdened.

Upon hearing this, Lu Linglong suddenly felt that the magic wand in her hand was no longer appealing!

She immediately turned her head to look at Lu Xiaobai.

Under the moonlight, the boy's clean profile was soft, his skin was so white it was almost like a painting, his long eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyes, and there was still a bit of bread crumbs stuck to the corner of his mouth.

His somewhat childish and naive appearance contrasts strangely with his self-proclaimed identity as a "nineteen-year-old genius".

"Oh?" Lu Linglong's voice was clearly filled with interest.

They moved even closer together:

"What kind of girl is she? It must be awful for you to dislike her!"

Several blurry female images flashed through Lu Xiaobai's mind like a revolving lantern, finally settling on the pink-haired figure who had looked at him with an extremely "loose" gaze and a charming, seductive smile a few days ago.

He wrinkled his nose and said casually with a hint of disdain:

"Hmm...like that woman...with big breasts and pink hair? The way she looks at people...it's disgusting!"

The air froze instantly.

The laughter and chatter on the bench came to an abrupt halt.

The moonlight still gently shone on the river, but it couldn't illuminate Lu Linglong's stiff body and frozen expression.

She was still unconsciously holding the floating staff in her hand, but all her movements stopped.

Those eyes, which were originally full of curiosity and liveliness, were now wide open, and the pupils seemed to have lost focus.

Her long pink hair swayed gently in the night breeze, her chest rising and falling slightly as she suddenly held her breath...

Then, as if struck by an invisible petrifying magic, he froze completely in place.

Only a woman with large breasts and pink hair was left, instantly "petrified".

Under the silent moonlight, it weathers away without a sound...
