My ex-girlfriend is a magical girl junior?

Lin Che gripped his phone tightly in his palm. In the dim light of the screen, he glanced at the message Luo Bingli had sent him again. Every word on it reminded him of the immense hurt his unintentional mistake had caused the person he cared about most.

His chest felt like it was weighed down by a heavy stone, and his breathing was labored. But he knew that this was not the time to wallow in self-blame. Every second he wasted could deepen the rift that had been created by the misunderstanding.

We must act immediately to make amends and salvage this situation.

Without a moment's hesitation, he immediately dialed Luo Bingli's phone number.

Meanwhile, in the quiet room, Luo Bingli was still hugging her pillow, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart. The sudden ringing of the bell made her let out a small gasp.

She hurriedly grabbed her phone and saw the name "Lin Che" displayed on the screen, and her heart skipped a beat.

It was Lin Che. Did he reply so quickly? Did he see her message and prepare to respond? What would he say? Would he think she was acting strangely?

A mix of emotions—anxiety, anticipation, shyness—instantly swirled within her. Her finger hovered over the answer button, hesitated for a moment, and finally slid down, bringing the phone close to her ear.

"Feed?" Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"Luo, there's something I need to tell you right away, about Yuqing." Lin Che's voice came through the receiver, lacking his usual gentle and casual tone, replaced by a serious and urgent one that Luo had never heard before.

His tone was so serious that Luo Bingli felt a chill run down her spine, triggering her instinctive wariness of the virtual beasts and danger. But Lin Che's next words struck her like a thunderbolt, leaving her completely stunned.

"She...she just saw the text message you sent me. She misunderstood, she misunderstood our relationship...anyway, she's very emotional right now."

Misunderstanding? Text message? Luo Bingli's mind went blank. In the midst of the chaos, the text message she had sent with great courage and caution flashed through her mind—the thank-you message filled with her complex emotions.

How could Yuqing see it? Why could she see it? And after she saw it... what happened?

Before she could ask any questions, Lin Che continued, quickly recounting the astonishing argument that had just taken place in the room—Su Yuqing had an emotional outburst after seeing the text message, accusing him of lying, and then ran out crying.

Luo Bingli was completely stunned. She never expected that her carefully sent text message would cause such a big reaction from Su Yuqing, even causing her friend to misunderstand and have an argument with her brother.

Guilt and self-blame surged up like a tidal wave, instantly overwhelming her. Her body trembled slightly, and her fingers gripped her phone tightly.

"How could this be... how could this happen..." she murmured, her voice filled with disbelief. It was all because of her, because she sent that text message, because she hadn't thought things through!

"I'm going to explain to her!" Luo Bingli said immediately and decisively. "I'm going to call her! No, I'm going to find her right now!"

"Wait, Luo!" Lin Che urged urgently, "You can't go to her now!"

Luo Bingli was stunned, her tone filled with confusion and anger: "Why? She misunderstood! It's all because of me! I have to go and explain things to her!"

"Listen to me, Luo," Lin Che tried to keep his voice calm and patient, "She's very emotional right now, and her emotions are very unstable. Even if you go over and explain now, she might not be able to listen."

"She might even vent her anger and resentment towards me on you, saying things that you both regret. If she's not careful... your relationship could develop an irreparable rift."

"No! It can't be!" Luo Bingli shook her head violently, unwilling to believe Lin Che's words. Su Yuqing was her best friend, how could this cause a rift between them? She refused to believe it.

"Then...what should I do?" Her tone was no longer forceful, replaced by an obvious urgency and helplessness. She felt completely flustered and unable to think. "What can I do? What should I do?"

"Do you know someone... someone who's familiar with both of you, and someone Yuqing trusts very much?" Lin Che paused, then began to guide the conversation, "Have that person go and comfort Yuqing first, wait for her to calm down, and then you can step in and explain things clearly. What do you think?"

A figure flashed through Luo Bingli's mind in an instant, with a gentle and all-encompassing tenderness, a soft smile, and an aura that made both her and Yin Xue feel at ease.

Senior Star Frost.

Her friend's trust and reliance on Senior Xing Shuang was obvious, even to the point of worship. Moreover, judging from their previous conversations, she had confided her troubles to her friend in the guise of Yin Xue.

Should I tell her? Would she... be willing to help?

Luo Bingli felt a surge of hesitation and unease. Asking Senior Xingshuang for help felt so awkward, so... illogical.

But Lin Che's words echoed in her ears again—"Someone that you two both know well, and someone Yuqing trusts very much."

Apart from Senior Xing Shuang, in her world, it seems... it seems that no one else can meet both of these conditions at the same time.

Although a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness flashed through her mind at exposing these private emotional entanglements in front of her senior, she had no choice but to do so for the sake of her friend and to make up for the harm she had caused.

She gritted her teeth, suppressing all her hesitation and unease, and said with an undeniable determination, "There are such people."

Lin Che asked somewhat nervously, "Who is it?"

"Yes... she's a senior I know, and Yuqing is also very familiar with her."

"Okay." Lin Che agreed, feeling a slight sense of relief. Luo Bingli had indeed thought of Xing Shuang. "Then you should contact her now and explain the situation to her as soon as possible."

"I understand," Luo Bingli replied immediately, without the slightest hesitation.

"I'll wait for your news," Lin Che said as he hung up the phone and took out the transformation device from the drawer.

Given Yuqing's current state, whether it's him, the person who was misunderstood, or Luo Bingli, the one who caused the misunderstanding, directly trying to explain would only add fuel to the fire and provoke even stronger resistance from the other party.

At the same time, he had no intention of waiting for the other party to calm down before explaining, as it was unacceptable for the other party to remain in such pain and misunderstanding for even a second longer.

Therefore, intervening in this misunderstanding as Xing Shuang and using Yin Xue's trust in Xing Shuang to appease her seems to be the only option.

In order to make Xing Shuang, who was originally "unaware" of the incident, the only option was to guide Luo Bingli to tell her about it.

He wasn't 100% sure he would succeed. He was afraid that Luo Bingli would reject this seemingly strange proposal. Fortunately, she accepted his guidance. It was a choice she made in a critical moment, based on the trust she had initially built with him.

And he absolutely cannot betray this trust.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately pressed the button to transform, then took out the cell phone from "Tears of the Star" that had exchanged contact information with Liuli and Yinxue, and waited for the call to come.

After hanging up the phone, Luo Bingli took a deep breath and felt her palms were sweaty. Instead of immediately dialing Xing Shuang's number, she rushed into her room and locked the door.

With a slight thought, the "Tear of the Star" gem emerged from her chest and emitted a dazzling deep blue light. In the light, the girl shed her ordinary appearance and transformed into "Ruri," dressed in a blue and white combat suit.

She glanced at her phone, then at Ruby floating beside her.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong?" Ruby asked with some concern. Seeing the solemn expression on Liu Li's face, it knew that something serious must have happened.

"Ruby, I'll explain it to you later."

Liuli didn't answer. She took a deep breath, pulled up her phone's contacts, and found the name "Senior Xingshuang".

The moment she dialed the number, she felt her heart pounding faster than ever before, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

This was the first time she had contacted Senior Xingshuang in her capacity as Liuli, and it was for something like this—for the misunderstanding she had caused, and for her friend's breakdown.

She didn't know how her senior would react, or whether he would be willing to help, but for Yuqing's sake, she had to do it.

Her fingers trembled as she held the phone close to her ear, and a soft "feed" came through the receiver.

"Senior Xing Shuang! It's me, Liu Li!" Liu Li's voice was visibly hurried and anxious. She began to quickly explain the misunderstanding that had occurred that afternoon: her text message, Lin Che, Yu Qing, the hug at the mall, and Yu Qing's current emotional state...

Xing Shuang listened quietly, her face remaining calm. She understood the whole story of the misunderstanding perfectly, and she knew that Liu Li must feel very guilty and scared.

She took a deep breath, her gaze unwavering. Now was the time for "Star Frost" to step in, to appease "Silver Snow," and to mend the misunderstanding he had unintentionally created.

"I understand, Liuli." Her voice was gentle and steady, carrying a reassuring power. "Don't worry, I'll arrange to meet Yinxue and try to calm her down."

"Just like you said, after I've explained things to her and she's calmed down, you can step in and tell her in person everything that happened in the mall to clear up the misunderstanding."

When Liuli heard that Senior Xingshuang was willing to help and include her in the effort, she felt a little relieved.

The feeling of being affirmed and needed by her senior eased some of her self-blame and panic, and she immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."

"That's settled then. I'll contact Yin Xue right away and then let you know where we'll meet."

"I understand." Liuli hesitated for a moment, her tone filled with heartfelt gratitude and pleading, "Senior... this time... I'm really troubling you."

Xing Shuang answered without the slightest hesitation: "It's what I should do."

After hanging up Luo Bingli's call, Xing Shuang didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately found Su Yuqing's contact information—which was also the number belonging to "Yin Xue".

With her finger hovering above the dial key, Xing Shuang took a deep breath, as if gathering strength.

Beep... beep...

The phone rang in the dark room. She knew that the girl on the other end of the line must be suffering from immense pain, insecurity, and the torment of betrayal.

The next conversation is crucial; she needs to use her identity as Xing Shuang to comfort the heartbroken girl who was hurt by the misunderstanding.

She had to pull the other person out of this pain.
