Teacher, I am actually a villain magical girl

"of course I remember."

At that time, they would play house games like other girls.

She is the husband and Huihara is the wife.

At that time, we also said that we would get married in the future.

When they were playing house, Huibara would often act coquettishly in front of her and tell her things that made her unhappy.

After the cleaning was completely finished, the two of them sat on the sofa, leaning against each other, and just sat there, saying nothing and doing nothing.

The house, which had just been dusted, was very quiet.

Hong Shangying sat there without saying anything, but his hand slowly moved towards Huibara until he gently held his childhood sweetheart's hand.

Then, she carefully moved her body over, put her cheek against Huibara's soft hair, kissed it lightly, and then slowly hugged Huibara with her arms.

Huiyuan was stunned for a moment and raised her head.

But the clumsy woman just pressed closer, rubbing her cool skin and hair against her like a big, unintelligent dog, and whispered:

“…When I was a kid, it was like this.”

Chapter 61: Things are

When she was in high school, Hong Shangying chose to go abroad and left Huiyuan.

At first, she thought this was just a separation that would be a little unbearable and bitter. After getting the results she wanted abroad, she could fulfill a promise they made when they were young, and then she could formally propose to Huibara without fear.

The time they spent apart was indeed very long, as if she was the only one left in the world. She could only find a little comfort when she called or emailed Huibara.

Hong Shangying feels that he is doing something meaningful.

Later on, Huihara contacted her less and less, took longer and longer to reply to her emails, and later seldom answered her calls, which made Hong Shangying gradually doubt himself.

After so many years, she still hasn't achieved any results...

Did Lily no longer believe in her?

Was it because of what I did that Lily lost her patience and became disappointed in me?

Under such anxiety and uneasiness, Hong Shang worked harder and harder, and her contact with Huihara began to decrease. She began to immerse herself in research, hoping to achieve the results she wanted sooner.

In the blink of an eye, she and Huibara were both old enough to go to college.

Then, she succeeded.

During that period, she was ecstatic and couldn't wait to express her success and joy to Lily.

But she did not get the same joyful response from Huibara.

On the contrary, after learning about her success in research in Europe, Huihara's tone when talking to her revealed a depressed mood.

This confused Hongshang.

I even felt wronged and angry, and didn't understand why Lily was so cold.

She was upset and didn't contact Huibara for a long time.

Until one day, she accidentally learned that Huihara's parents died shortly after she left.

After that, Huibara has been living alone.

I worked alone, went from high school to college alone, and I never told her about these things.

Hong Shangying realized that he had been doing stupid things for all these years.

...............

After cleaning the house, Huihara and Hong Shangying were outside preparing to find a place to have lunch.

There are no good restaurants in this old town.

After so many years, most of the shops in my childhood memories have been replaced with new ones. There are no familiar people or familiar looks.

This is also very common. At least in the past few years, Haibara and Kirio just found unfamiliar small restaurants to eat, as long as they could fill their stomachs.

But after driving for a while, Hongshang unexpectedly found a familiar store not far from his home.

A shop selling oden.

In the past, after school, they would often buy oden here, which is a very nostalgic memory.

Although the sign and curtains have been replaced with new ones, Hong Shangying can still be recognized.

When Hong Shangying was about to take Huibara into the store, she didn't notice that Huibara's expression hesitated for a moment, as if she was a little dazed, but Huibara quickly regained her composure and obediently entered the store with Hong Shangying.

The boss is a young man, not the old man with an accent as before, but the price of oden doesn’t seem to have become more expensive, as if everything is still the same as it was back then.

It’s really a very small shop, only big enough to seat five or six people.

Hong Shangying and Huihara sat down and watched the skewers being cooked in the hot broth, with white steam rising. Although such scenes could be seen everywhere in the city, there was a very special feeling about it.

When she was a child, Haibara thought the smell of oden was strange.

It could also be that the sauce tasted weird.

It was not until she ate it for the first time that she gradually got used to the smell.

Later I found out that not all oden has this smell.

The crab fillet was placed on the plate, and the soup dripped onto the sauce. Huihara did not eat it quickly, but dipped it repeatedly like this, as if in a daze.

She remembered that on the day her parents passed away, she did not eat until she felt very hungry, so she had to go out and find a store to fill her stomach.

What she found at that time happened to be the oden restaurant near her home.

Of course, the taste of oden will not change.

It was still delicious as usual, the crab patties were delicious, the sauce was delicious too, but Huihara had no idea what it tasted like, and after eating a few skewers, she didn't want to eat it anymore.

As for now, she had an ordinary appetite.

“Does it taste the same as before?”

Hong Shangying asked.

Huiyuan nodded.

The taste is not much different from what I remember. In other words, no matter how bad it tastes, it can’t be that bad. All you have to do is cook the ingredients, and the ingredients can be bought in the supermarket.

So, nothing has changed at all.

"…………"

Huihara remained silent and bit the tofu.

At that time, after her parents passed away, she began to learn to cook on her own.

The result was that everything tasted terrible.

She herself didn't know what to do.

Thinking about it now, it really feels like a dream.

What seemed most strange to her at the time was that her own life had been turned upside down, but everything around her was still functioning as normal.

The shops selling oden and croquettes are still open, and the teachers in the school are still teaching. Nothing has changed at all.

There's actually nothing strange about this.

The world doesn't revolve around her.

Even if the small world she lives in changes a lot, the world will not stagnate.

It’s just…it makes people feel their own insignificance.

After lunch, Huibara got into Hong Shangying's car again, but there was actually nothing to do next.

If she had to stay here another day, she would probably stay in a hotel this year.

After all, she is with Hong Shang.

The car started moving without them noticing. Huibara slowly lowered her head, her eyes cast down, hidden in the shadow of her falling hair, looking a little dim.

Car horns, old city scenes, and childhood sweethearts.

All of this...

Soon after starting the car, Hong Shangying felt that the car was too quiet.

Huibara kept her head down, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

Until she reached a red light, she turned her head and saw Huibara with his head down, and then she was stunned for a moment.

"Lily?"

This usually cold woman now revealed an adorable melancholy on her face, but Hong Shangying did not find it strange because her childhood sweetheart also had such a time when they were young.

When you are sad.

As if noticing Hong Shang's gaze, Huiyuan raised her head slightly and said in a low voice:

"Why are you looking at me?"

She looked downcast.

Hong Shangying was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but then she saw Huibara lowered her head a little more, then stretched out her hands to cover her face, as if she didn't want her to see.

Huibara realized that this wasn't the right way to go, so she raised her head again and put her hands down, trying to make herself look less embarrassed.

But she was a little sad.

Her nose felt a little sour and her eyes a little hot, and she didn't realize it. She didn't feel like crying before, after all, ten years had passed.

It’s only been the past ten years…

"…………"

Tears fell slowly and silently from Huibara's eyes. She still had a blank expression on her face, but she did not hide it anymore.

She tried to wipe her tears, but they still flowed down, getting all over her hands, making her look very embarrassed.

Hong Shang, who was standing aside, was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became flustered.

After hurriedly finding a parking place nearby, Hongshang looked at the crying Huibara at a loss.

She also saw Huibara cry when she was a child.

At that time, she couldn't do anything about Huibara who was crying, and could only stand by and panic.

She touched Huiyuan's face a little clumsily, wiped her tears, and then stammered:

"Right...right, Lily, your birthday will be soon. Do you want any gift?"

At this time of year every year, she would prepare gifts for Huibara in advance.

Huiyuan wiped her tears, suppressed her tears, and whispered:

"You are ready now."

At this time, Hong Shangying probably had already prepared the gift.

She understood this about the other person very well.

Hong Shangying didn't know how to respond for a moment.

“…That’s right.”

This year's gift is the most special gift she has been preparing since high school.

She wanted to give this to Huibara as a gift to fulfill the promise they made when they were children.

Seeing Huiyuan's pitiful appearance, Hong Shangying quickly said:

"That gift... do you want to take a look at it in advance?"

She wanted Huibara to see the gift right now.

Actually, this is a bit strange.

After all, there is no such thing as a birthday gift that can be shown to others in advance.

But Hongshang thought that if it was that gift, maybe it would make Huibara happier.

However, Huihara did not respond immediately.
