My ex-girlfriend is a magical girl junior?

Chapter 230 A Morning Prank

Ye Zixuan woke up very early, even earlier than the first rays of dawn appearing on the horizon outside the window.

This is not because she is not used to sleeping in a particular bed, but rather because of the biological clock she has developed through years of almost rigid self-discipline. She can wake up on time at a fixed time without the help of any alarm clock.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was a pale pink ceiling unlike the one in her own room, and a faint, unfamiliar fragrance filled the air.

For a moment, her eyes were filled with confusion, but she quickly recalled everything that happened last night: the life-or-death battle with Jingjue, being saved by Xiaoying at the cost of her life, and spending the night with Xiaoli in Yuqing's room.

Ye Zixuan tried to move her body a bit and could clearly feel that although she felt a little weak because of yesterday's fierce battle, after a full night's rest, she felt more refreshed and relaxed than ever before.

As long as you don't transform and engage in high-intensity combat, you should be able to recover from this damage quickly.

After confirming her physical condition, she turned her gaze to what was in front of her, or rather—to her arms.

Luo Bingli was nestled there peacefully, her breathing light and steady. The faint morning light shone softly on her tranquil sleeping face through the gap in the curtains.

Ye Zixuan's gaze softened as she quietly looked at the girl in her arms. Recalling how the girl trembled last night because of her father's phone call, a strong protective instinct immediately welled up in her heart.

Xiao Li—she must have been very sad last night. It's so good that she can sleep so peacefully now.

And so this is what it feels like to have a friend you can lean on? It really is—strange and something to cherish.

Ye Zixuan smiled and carefully adjusted her position, hoping to make the other person sleep more comfortably and peacefully.

Although it made almost no sound, it was this slight movement that caused Luo Bingli, who was already a light sleeper, to flutter her eyelashes and slowly open her eyes.

The first thing she noticed was the fabric of Ye Zixuan's pure white nightgown, which she herself seemed to have been clinging to the fabric of the dress.

His gaze slowly moved upwards, and then met a pair of bright eyes that were quietly watching him with a gentle smile.

Recalling everything that happened between the two of them last night—from the awkward silence to their mutual consideration, and then to the shocking surprise at the end—Luo Bingli's cheeks instantly turned hot, and she lowered her head again, somewhat embarrassed.

"Good morning, Xiao Li," Ye Zixuan said softly upon seeing her. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"—I slept very peacefully." Luo Bingli's voice was barely audible, she didn't even dare to meet the other person's gaze, "Thank you, Zixuan—last night—"

"You're welcome." Ye Zixuan's smile grew even gentler. She said in a slightly indulgent tone, "It's still early. If you're still sleepy, it's okay to continue sleeping for a while."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingli simply shook her head gently and replied softly, "—No need, I feel I've rested quite well."

Seeing this, Ye Zixuan nodded slightly and did not insist further, only adding, "If you want, you can do it like before anytime."

Luo Bingli's cheeks flushed even more. She softly hummed in agreement and slowly sat up from the bed.

Looking at the gentle girl beside her, Luo Bingli suddenly felt a little incredulous.

They had only met for the first time yesterday, and even had a significant conflict because of Senior Xing Shuang, but after what happened last night, their relationship seemed to have grown closer at an extremely rapid pace.

It was as if—in just one night, they had become close friends who had known each other for many years and could talk about anything.

When Ye Zixuan saw Luo Bingli sit up, she also stood up gracefully, stretching her slender waist comfortably. The loose white nightgown tightened instantly with this movement, perfectly outlining her breathtaking curves.

This scene immediately caught Luo Bingli's attention, and it also made her involuntarily recall the crisp cracking sound before the two said goodnight to each other last night. A look of concern immediately appeared on her face.

She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Um, Zixuan, what should we do about your broken thing?"

"what?"

Ye Zixuan, who was tying her long hair into a high ponytail, paused slightly upon hearing this. She felt around for a moment, then lifted her chest slightly before saying in a relaxed tone, "Oh, you mean this?"

"It doesn't look completely broken yet. It's okay. I'll find some time today to go to my place in this city and change into a spare."

Upon hearing this, Luo Bingli breathed a sigh of relief, then apologized again with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through at the time—"

"Xiao Li, didn't you already apologize last night? Besides, this isn't something worth apologizing for at all."

Ye Zixuan waved her hand dismissively.

She turned around, a mischievous smile on her face that was completely different from her previous gentle demeanor. She winked at Luo Bingli and suggested, "Instead of this, let's go check on Xiaoying and Yuqing now. What do you think?"

"Huh? Why?" Luo Bingli was taken aback when she heard this. She subconsciously glanced at her phone and found that it was indeed still very early, far from her usual wake-up time.

"Because Xiaoying is definitely still asleep," Ye Zixuan replied without hesitation. "If we go over there now, maybe—we can take some more cute videos and photos, right?"

"Xiaoying sleeping — videos and photos —"

These words seemed to possess a magical power, instantly making Luo Bingli's eyes light up; she was clearly tempted.

"And—" Ye Zixuan suddenly lowered her voice and said, "What I promised Yuqing was only last night—I won't argue with her."

"It's already dawn, and the agreement from last night has long expired, so of course I'm going to go and cause her some trouble."

""

Luo Bingli was at a loss for words. Looking at the smug, self-righteous grin on the other person's face, she suddenly realized that this might be the real reason why the other person had chosen to go to the next room right now.

A pale purple magical light flashed briefly at the door lock, and with a barely perceptible click, the door to Lin Che's room was quietly opened from the outside.

Ye Zixuan gently pushed open the door to Lin Che's room a crack and cautiously peeked inside.

"No—" she muttered under her breath, "I can't see what's inside from this angle."

Following behind her, Luo Bingli watched Ye Zixuan instantly transform and then immediately deactivate in order to unlock the door, and asked softly with a hint of helplessness, "Is it really necessary to use a transformation just to open a lock?"

"Of course it's necessary!" Ye Zixuan turned to look at Luo Bingli, her face bearing a matter-of-fact expression.

"Didn't I just say? I can't accept Yuqing just peacefully holding Xiaoying and enjoying waking up naturally. I'm definitely going to cause her some trouble."

"The door is open now, let's go in." With that, Ye Zixuan quietly pushed the door open halfway, then tiptoed into the room, not forgetting to turn back and wave to Luo Bingli, signaling her to follow her.

Although Luo Bingli felt that doing so was not quite right, she could not resist the temptation of "being able to take new photos and videos of Xiaoying" and followed her without thinking.

The two walked to the bedside one after the other, and when they saw the two people lying there, Ye Zixuan's expression instantly became quite interesting.

Su Yuqing was holding Jiying tightly, a look of immense peace and contentment on her face.

In stark contrast, even in her sleep, Ji Ying kept her brows tightly furrowed, her little face scrunched up, as if she were dreaming of something extremely bad.

What made Ye Zixuan's eyes widen even more was that she clearly saw a faint but undeniable mark on the other person's neck—a mark?!

"hiss----"

Ye Zixuan gasped, slowly turning her head to look at Luo Bingli beside her with a shocked and incredulous expression.

Although she was already quite agitated, she still subconsciously lowered her voice and asked, "This guy—when he sleeps with Xiaoying, is he always like this?!"

Looking at the somewhat "horrible" scene, and then at Ye Zixuan's expression that was about to explode, Luo Bingli hesitated briefly before nodding slightly and replying, "That's probably it—".

"That guy!" Ye Zixuan's gaze returned to Su Yuqing, who was fast asleep, and she said through gritted teeth, "He actually did something to the real Xiaoying that I wouldn't even do to Xiaoying's clone!"

"So I was still a bit too reserved before?" Her voice was filled with regret. "And that mark—it's simply—unforgivable!"

Seeing Ye Zixuan's posture, as if she might pounce on the other person at any moment, Luo Bingli asked in a worried voice, "Zixuan, what are you planning to do?"

Ye Zixuan, however, suddenly calmed down. She turned back to Luo Bingli and gave her a reassuring smile, saying softly, "Don't worry, I was just—playing a little trick on her."

Then, she slowly squatted down and leaned against the bedside, picking up a strand of Su Yuqing's soft, long hair.

Looking at Su Yuqing's completely unguarded sleeping face, she pouted and muttered softly, "She's actually quite cute when she's asleep, much more lovable than when she's awake. It makes me almost reluctant to hurt her."

"But—" she changed the subject, a sly glint in her eyes, "I will absolutely not be soft-hearted about doing something like this to Xiaoying!"

As she spoke, Ye Zixuan began to point the ends of Su Yuqing's hair at her nostrils and then gently poked them back and forth.

"Mmm...uh..."

Su Yuqing, still asleep, immediately sensed the strangeness in her nasal cavity. Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and her sleeping face began to become restless.

She shook her head a few times in annoyance, instinctively trying to avoid the annoying itch.

But Ye Zixuan was determined not to let the other party have their way. She patiently adjusted the angle and continued to repeat the same action relentlessly.

"Achoo!"

Soon, accompanied by an extremely cute sneeze, Su Yuqing opened her eyes in a daze.

Immediately, she met the gaze of Ye Zixuan, who was looking at her with a smug and mischievous smile.

Ji Ying gradually regained consciousness amidst a deliberately hushed and highly charged conversation, while the struggle...

She seemed quite familiar with the voices of both sides arguing.

"That wretched cowgirl, I shouldn't have let you stay in my house!"

"Hmph, I didn't ask you to do that. You'll have to bear the consequences yourself. And what kind of strange title is that? Take it back right now!"

"No way! You woke me up using such a despicable method as tickling me with my hair! You're just jealous that I was sleeping with Xiaoying!"

"Also, Xiaoying clearly locked the door last night, so how did you and Xiaoli sneak in?"

"Heh, this simple mechanical structure is incredibly easy to control after transforming. And so what if I'm jealous?"

"—Transformation?! You—you actually went to the trouble of expending magic to transform just to wake me up?! Damn it—"

To the dazed and confused Jiying, these conversations sounded like a string of noises whose meaning was indiscernible; they were simply a bit noisy.

She clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction and subconsciously shifted her body, seemingly trying to find a more comfortable position to continue sleeping.

"Shh! Keep your voices down! You're waking Xiaoying up!"

Another familiar and gentle voice suddenly rang out, instantly stopping the two arguing voices.

"Xiao Li, you too! You actually joined Zi Xuan in teasing me!" Su Yuqing complained in a low voice.

"I—I just wanted to take videos and photos of Xiaoying while she's asleep, that's all—" Luo Bingli said in a slightly guilty voice.

"That reminds me—hurry up, let's film together! Hey, you over there, can we talk about the argument later after we finish filming?"

"Hmph—just what I wanted. It's more important to capture Xiaoying's cute appearance."

"What are you shooting?"

This keyword instantly jolted Ji Ying back to sleep.

She had a vague feeling that if she didn't wake up immediately, something extremely bad might happen.

Driven by this intense sense of crisis, she opened her eyes somewhat dazedly, her face still heavy with sleepiness.

Then she saw that three girls were surrounding her from different angles in the center of the bed.

In their hands, without exception, were all holding a mobile phone with the video recording function turned on.
