Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 252 - 90: Love, Death, and the Wretched

Upon a closer look, it was Jiang Si.

The usually indifferent Teacher Zi Yuan showed a rare gentle smile when Jiang Si took her hand.

This was a smile that had only been seen when Teacher Zi Yuan went on a date with Jiang Si last time.

However, for some reason, this time Keke didn't feel so complex.

She stared blankly at Teacher Zi Yuan's expression, then turned her head to glance at Jiang Si.

Jiang Si always had that stern expression, even a bit weary and impatient.

Yet, when watching Teacher Zi Yuan pull Jiang Si away from her.

Instinctively, she didn't want to call out to Teacher Zi Yuan.

Keke wanted to call out to Jiang Si.

As Zi Yuan dragged Jiang Si further and further away, she felt panic, suddenly opening her eyes.

Sitting up and feeling some unease, she hugged the pillow in her arms more tightly.

What exactly am I afraid of...

It's not that she had any other thoughts about Teacher Zi Yuan being with Jiang Si; she had long accepted this fact.

She was afraid that Jiang Si and Teacher Zi Yuan would leave for a place where she couldn't find them...

She glanced out the window once more, noticing signs of heavy rain.

The rain in Beihai over the past few days had been more frequent than in all the previous years combined.

It always left people feeling a bit uneasy.

Sighing, she bent over, crouching on the sofa, resting her head on her knees, and gently massaged her toes with her fingers, occasionally warming them.

She remembered that Teacher Zi Yuan didn't have nail polish on her hands before, not knowing why she later applied purple nail polish.

As a girl, she naturally was sensitive about these things.

Was it applied after confirming the relationship with Jiang Si?

Was it because Jiang Si liked it?

Or did she simply like it herself?

Did Jiang Si help her apply it?

Touching her toenails, she wondered if Teacher Zi Yuan had toenail polish too?

Having Jiang Si help with applying toenail polish is not unusual for lovers, right...

Shaking her head, Keke told herself not to overthink it.

She didn't know how Jiang Si was doing in Jiangming, having heard he could be home today.

Originally, Senior Iridescent was supposed to stay by his side for protection, but in the end, it was said that Iridescent and Jiang Si got separated.

Yiyi nearly burst into tears; no one expected the Full Blossoming Magical Girl to be so unreliable...

Actually, it was predictable since Senior Iridescent had always behaved quite unreliably.

However, at the time, it seemed that with Iridescent's experience, escorting Jiang Si wouldn't be problematic.

Yet, something still went wrong.

It was said that she fell asleep directly in the car and ended up lost... utterly incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Teacher Zi Yuan also went over and cleaned up the entire Jiangming City Witch Association and Disaster Beasts.

She had seen photos shared online before, with the sky over Jiangming City filled with stringed Disaster Beasts, a terrifyingly spectacular scene.

However, the Disaster Strategy Bureau quickly brought it under control.

The Bureau's management of online information is quite swift, with rumors saying the main bureau has a Magical Girl whose abilities specifically involve controlling network information.

A bit hard to imagine.

Having saved Beihai and Jiangming and displayed unrivaled strength, even the main bureau would probably have to reassess the Cyan Cloud Sect's strength and change the way they interact.

There were rumors about plans to reinstate the old director of the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau.

But the reason for Zi Yuan's visit to Jiangming remained unclear.

Most likely, it was because of Jiang Si?

Was it because Jiang Si wanted to visit Jiangming to see old friends, and he went along for the safety of her boyfriend?

Or was it simply to resolve the Jiangming City Witch Association, making it a convenient side trip?

Or perhaps Jiang Si never had friends, and it was Teacher Zi Yuan who wanted him to go, so he went...

Thinking of this, Keke shook her head immediately.

No, someone like Jiang Si wouldn't easily listen to others; he must have had his reasons for going.

Recalling Jiang Si's attitude and expression towards Zi Yuan, Keke felt slightly relieved again.

Jiang Si wasn't actually as obsessed with Teacher Zi Yuan as it seemed, was he?

At least when facing Zi Yuan, Jiang Si's expression never changed, remaining as indifferent and even a bit impatient as usual.

It seemed like that was the only expression he ever showed.

Except for that day.

That day, when he fervently rushed towards the Magical Girl, Jiang Si wore a smile she had never seen before, an unprecedented fervor as if it could devour everything!

Yet, what he pursued that day was the Magical Girl Cui Que.

Was it love at first sight?

The Magical Girl Cui Que, powerful, beautiful, and mysterious, coupled with her short stature.

But in these respects, Teacher Zi Yuan and Senior Iridescent were still quite similar.

Could it be that what Jiang Si truly liked was the Senior Cui Que, and Teacher Zi Yuan was merely...

She shook her head, not letting herself overthink.

Because it was heard that Senior Cui Que already had a lover, and Iridescent said that Senior Cui Que's retirement was significantly related to her lover.

So, was Jiang Si actually hopelessly in love with Cui Que, unable to pursue her, and thus turned to Teacher Zi Yuan?

The more Keke thought about it, the more it seemed to be the case.

Aside from this reason, she couldn't understand why Jiang Si was so fervently pursuing Senior Cui Que.

Nor could she find any reason for Jiang Si to be in a relationship with Teacher Zi Yuan.

The more she pondered, the more it seemed true.

Would Jiang Si eventually go looking for Senior Cui Que?

If that's the case, what about Teacher Zi Yuan?

Clearly, they're lovers, one unattainable, while the other is treated as a substitute, it's so tragic...
