: Ex-Girlfriend

Deadly enemy?

The way she addressed him—whether she loved him or hated him—didn't seem like she was addressing a stranger.

This was his first time visiting Qishan City; the two of them probably hadn't met before.

Therefore, it is entirely possible that Mu Ming has seen the girl in front of him but has forgotten about her.

Thinking about it this way, it seems the other party has admitted their mistake.

Judging from her tone, she seemed both annoyed and resentful, and she didn't seem too panicked or ashamed that she had seen her body.

It seems she mistook him for someone she had a close relationship with.

"You've mistaken me for someone else," Mu Ming explained, then tried to pull his head back out of the window.

"Still won't admit it?! Mu Ming, you scum!"

Mu Ming stopped moving, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

After he said he didn't know the girl, she suddenly became agitated. A fierce look appeared on her pretty face, and her wide-eyed stare twitched as if she was about to pounce on him and bite his throat.

That emotion didn't seem like acting.

The problem is that Mu Ming doesn't actually know her; it's his first time here.

But the girl seemed to know him very well, and she could even pronounce his name accurately. Keep in mind, he was wearing clown makeup.

People who aren't very familiar with each other probably wouldn't recognize him.

Innate ability?

The other party is likely already at the fourth level. If it's a precognitive ability, guessing his name wouldn't be impossible.

There are terminals provided by Xiao Hei online to help block it, but this is a real situation.

"You've mistaken me for someone else. I'll take my leave now," Mu Ming said to her, and then left through the window.

Unable to ascertain the girl's background for the time being, he decided to find an opportunity to follow her later.

"Wait a moment!"

A rustling sound came from the stall, and the girl moved quickly, rushing out of the cubicle wearing only a coat.

Her face was contorted with a mixture of ferocity and fear, and she even tried to grab Mu Ming's hand despite the risk of exposing herself.

This is bad. The other party is a magical girl, and her rank is not low. If she really wants to do something bad, I can't transform to fight back.

Just as Qian was about to take his hand, Mu Ming took a step back and put his hand behind his back.

The girl froze, her eyes instantly reddening, anger finally taking over her mind and body.

His fists were clenched tightly, and he was grinding his teeth. His glare was as if he were looking at a mortal enemy.

Mu Ming simply retreated slowly, keeping an eye on the situation in the changing room. If the other party tried to seal it off with magic, he would escape immediately.

Unexpectedly, the girl calmed down. Although her brows betrayed her hostility, she composed herself, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and buttoned up her clothes one by one to avoid ruining the current hostile atmosphere.

"That's true. Although you're not exactly a saint, you've at least done decent things. I remember you don't like to lie about serious matters, so when you said 'I don't remember,' you really meant it. If you forgot, you really forgot." She changed to a contemptuous tone.

"It's great that you understand." Mu Mingchao stepped back towards the door.

But her composure lasted less than half a minute. The girl lowered her head slightly, her brown bangs covering her eyes, making it impossible to discern her emotions.

"That's precisely why...it makes people...it makes people..." she said, emphasizing each word, "angry."

The next instant, the girl crouched low and charged forward at a speed that seemed inhuman.

Fortunately, Mu Ming was also a magical girl, and the girl's sudden attack did not surprise him much.

A hand with slightly long fingernails reached for his chest, but just as it was about to grab the strap of his overalls, it narrowly dodged the grab, leaving only a scratch in the air.

Having failed to land a blow, the girl tried to grab him back, but her ankle was stomped on heavily, causing her to lose her balance and fall straight to the ground.

After determining that it was not a good time to communicate with the other party, Mu Ming said:

"You need to calm down by yourself. I have to perform magic for the kids. If you really want to talk, you can wait for me at the amusement park entrance after get off work."

After saying that, he kicked her legs twice, which made the already furious girl almost turn into a tigress.

"Awoo awoo—"

Although she was a human, the girl made a sound like a cat hissing as she stared at Mu Ming. Even after he had walked quite a distance from the changing room, she still felt like she was being pricked by needles.

However, although she was emotional, she understood what he was saying and didn't actually rush over to fight him.

.......

As expected, the girl was indeed waiting for him at the door after get off work.

Now, she has changed into a school uniform, which gives people a subtle sense of familiarity.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

Mu Ming thought of Zhu Huan. Upon closer inspection, the girl did indeed have a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, but that was all.

There are certain differences in appearance between magical girls before and after their transformation.

Most importantly, Zhu Huan only knew Wu An after his transformation.

There's no reason for her to know him. Perhaps... the girl in front of her is related to Zhu Huan or something?

"My name is Lin Yuhuan." The girl introduced herself as soon as they met.

She stared intently at Mu Ming, trying to discern some emotion on his face, but all she saw was a continuation of her previous disappointment.

Mu Ming replied calmly:

"My name is Mu Ming."

"I know."

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Yuhuan couldn't help but ask:

"You really don't remember me?"

"I don't know them at all, so how could I remember them?"

Just one sentence made her want to punch him in the face.

Lin Yuhuan thought she was a relatively well-mannered person and that half an afternoon would be enough for her to calm down.

I didn't expect that I had overestimated my own abilities.

Or rather... they underestimated the bottom line of the person in front of them.

Even with complete strangers, you can use a more tactful and gentler way of putting it to make the listener feel better.

But Mu Ming seemed afraid of upsetting her, so he deliberately chose an unpleasant way to provoke her. This guy, even his breathing was offensive to her.

"You're from Qishan City, and I'm from Changming City. I'm just staying here for a while. How did we meet?" Mu Ming asked, unaware of Lin Yuhuan's thoughts.

"Do you erase your memories every day?! We met in Changming City..."

Lin Yuhuan still speaks very bluntly.

"I see."

Mu Ming's response remained lukewarm, as if he were discussing someone else's business.

Lin Yuhuan still wanted to get closer and punch him, but he was as afraid of dying as ever. Whenever someone invaded his safe zone, he would subconsciously move away and run away.

"Why did you come to Qishan City? Why did you come here to work?"

Lin Yuhuan asked two questions, and Mu Ming's answer remained the same: "It's none of your business."

"It has nothing to do with me, so why did you appear in front of me?!" She seemed to burst out, leaving Mu Ming completely bewildered.

"That's enough, why are you taking it out on me... You still haven't said what our relationship is, and I don't know anything about it. I don't even know you, so am I supposed to hide from a complete stranger?"

Looking back now, the girls I've met before were all surprisingly good-tempered; this is the first time Mu Ming has encountered such a neurotic girl.

It's really hard to communicate with her. I feel the right way to communicate with her is to knock her to the ground first, and then slowly ask her questions.

Is this really a stroke of good luck?

Or was it just an accident?

Mu Ming planned to listen to Lin Yuhuan's side of the story again. If she continued to vent her emotions, then there was no need to meet her again. He would just follow her a bit to see if she had any secrets.

Anyway, I'll be spending at least a week in Qishan.

"Our relationship..." Lin Yuhuan murmured, her hazy gaze drifting over, as if lost in memories.

She suddenly gave a bitter laugh: "Were you in a car accident and lost your memory?"

"No, this isn't some cheesy romance drama, and I'm not going to suddenly get cancer."

"Nonsense, who knows what this cancer you're talking about is..." Lin Yuhuan retorted angrily.

She took a deep breath and said, as if she had made up her mind:

"I'm your girlfriend." After a moment's hesitation, she added:

"But you dumped me without a word, so now I'm your ex-girlfriend."
