Something's off about this magical girl.

Chapter 56 The Wheelchair Magical Girl Makes Her Debut

It's Wednesday, lunch break time.

The psychological counseling center officially opened today.

As for the first patient, it was naturally the "clever and bright" Tao Zhuo.

"so--"

Tao Zhuo sat crookedly on the sofa, arms crossed over her chest, and her words bombarded out like a machine gun without stopping:

"Teacher, you mean that during yesterday's ceremony, you dragged Senior Qiuji on a wonderful armed off-road monster-slaying and money-making adventure through various disaster zones, and then this morning you came back and told me, a magical girl who is already bankrupt, in debt, and on the verge of a breakdown, such a devastating story?!"

She cursed, wondering why she hadn't gone straight to the teacher after the ceremony yesterday afternoon. She thought she might have been able to get a free meal that way. Finally, she muttered under her breath, "That damn lolicon!"

"Huh?" Gu Bai was amused and put down the research booklet that Dong Chun had left there. He reached out and pinched Tao Zhuo's cheek: "Your ability to label magical girls is top-notch."

"Okay, okay, I'll forgive you for this, teacher. But... teacher, I have a question for you."

Tao Zhuo paused, lightly tapping her knee twice with her fingertips, unusually restraining her impulsiveness before leaving the scene.

"Um, what does the magical girl the teacher is looking for look like? Do you have a picture? I'm pretty popular and know a lot of magical girls, maybe I can help!"

Her delicate peach-shaped eyes blinked rapidly.

She figured she should have raised her teacher's favorability rating enough by now.

Choosing to cut to the chase at this moment, he asked the question he had always wanted to ask but had never dared to.

"well..."

The relaxed atmosphere vanished instantly upon hearing those words.

Gu Bai's gaze passed over Tao Zhuo and looked out the window. The light from the window fell on his profile, softening his usual composure. This guy went through all that trouble just to ask about this.

Should I say something? Maybe it would be good to say something?

"Ink Heart".

He spoke her name aloud, as if confirming something that had been on his mind for a long time, and things about her gradually came to light.

With white hair and dark eyes, her features are delicate, she has a gentle nature, and speaks softly and delicately.

She would stand up and stop any injustice she witnessed, no matter who the perpetrator was.

No one dislikes her, no one disagrees with her, and perhaps it is because of her personality and beliefs that she became so powerful after becoming a magical girl.

I still remember the last time I saw her. Her dark eyes reflected six star marks. At that time, I didn't know what it meant, but now it seems that the word "genius" can be used to describe her.

The voice continued downwards, the tone remained flat, but the spacing between words gradually increased:

Sometimes, in the darkness of night, under the moonlight, she would sit by the window, hugging her knees, and become particularly melancholy.

She was alone, not saying a word.

At this point, she would only hold his hand tightly if he reached out, as if she would lose him if she let go.

Later, she went from disappearing for a few days a month, to being nowhere to be seen for a few days a week, to occasionally appearing briefly beside Gu Bai, until finally disappearing completely...

The words faded away.

Gu Bai looked at Tao Zhuo again: "So, there isn't much information. All I know is that she's a magical girl."

After briefly explaining her situation, I felt a bit less stressed.

"A foolish person."

Tao Zhuo's tone was light and casual, with a hint of teasing, but there was something else mixed in with the teasing, something hard to put into words, and it was unclear what it was, or what other thoughts she might have in her heart.

Gu Bai ignored the comment, put down his teacup, picked up the booklet again, opened it, and focused his gaze on the pages.

However, it's not good to keep the atmosphere stuck here.

Tao Zhuo tapped her fingers casually on the back of the chair twice, then suddenly remembered something, and the corners of her mouth curved up again:

"Teacher, do you know that Sister Dong has been preparing..."

"To pique the reader's interest but not finish the story deserves execution!"

Gu Bai didn't look up, but his hands were already reaching out, gently pinching Tao Zhuo's cheeks and pulling them to the sides.

It feels surprisingly bouncy, springy, and soft, giving you a great sense of satisfaction.

"Woo-I surrender, I surrender, meow!" Tao Zhu waved her hand in surrender, shrank back, and covered her cheeks with her hands: "Sister Dong is brewing medicine, for the purpose of seeking immortality. She tries a different formula almost every month and has been doing it for a long time."

"Does it work?" Gu Bai was speechless.

Tao Zhu shrugged and bluntly offered her answer: "If it works, do we still need to readjust it?"

"Just like you, I'm far removed from people now," Gu Bai finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"Don't bring up Dong-mei when you're talking about her—"

—Didi.

Just then, Tao Zhuo's phone beeped.

If the notification sound came from the Qixin APP, then there's probably only one possible outcome: pack your things and prepare for a new round of battle.

Tao Zhuo slowly took out her phone and turned on the screen.

Her expression underwent a rather complex change over the next few minutes.

First, there was a moment of stunned silence, followed by a blankness as some kind of information was being rapidly processed.

She got stuck.

Finally, Tao Zhuo put down her phone, looked up, and looked at Gu Bai seriously. She spoke in a solemn tone that she rarely used: "Teacher, I have something to tell you, but please don't get excited."

Gu Bai put down his teacup: "What is it?"

"Perhaps, a wheelchair-bound character will be appearing soon."

"?"

Gu Bai sorted through the sentence and felt that the amount of information it contained was as empty as the teacup in his hand:

"What does that mean?"

"It means exactly what it says." Tao Zhuo stood up and walked towards the door with a rather ceremonial gait. She turned back, her expression subtly shifting between solemnity and suppressed laughter: "Teacher, are you ready?"

Without waiting for an answer, she placed her hand on the doorknob and, answering her own question, uttered a single word: "Open."

In the corridor outside the door, sunlight streamed in obliquely from the large window at the end of the corridor, clearly illuminating the figure's outline.

A blue-haired girl sits upright in a wheelchair.

The girl sat upright, her posture effortless and naturally elegant, with a black umbrella resting on her lap and her right hand casually resting on the armrest.

Seeing Gu Bai looking over, she raised her right hand and waved to him, a smile he had seen before, always one that conveyed a sense of propriety: "Good afternoon, Teacher Gu Bai."

Gu Bai stared at that familiar, handsome face with a steady smile, and went over the scene in front of him from head to toe.

He spoke, his tone carrying something—not surprise, but more like genuine speechlessness:

"Why is it you?"

Guanlan maintained her smile perfectly. After a pause, she used a dating technique she had seen in a video before, making a peace sign above her right eye, then closing her left eye tightly before speaking:
