Witch Special
Chapter 216 In the eyes of parents, children are always children.
After a while, Lin Zhenxi's new sister appeared in front of the video.
She is said to be a 14-year-old junior high school student, but her development seems to be slow. Not only is she very petite, but her body curves are almost invisible. Her thin figure makes people worry that a gust of wind will blow her into the green belt beside the road.
But compared to her tender figure, the expression on the little girl's face was calm and indifferent, not at all lively like a 14-year-old should be.
But this is probably understandable. After all, he just lost his father who raised him, and now he is in an unfamiliar environment. Becoming mature overnight may be an inevitable choice under compulsion.
She had two ponytails, and used gray headbands to tie the ponytails on both sides into shape. The ends of the braids and the hanging headbands were almost level with her thin shoulders.
The clothes she wore weren't the loose, comfortable casual wear she'd wear at home, but something resembling a school uniform, a dress in that style. The long gray dress reached all the way to her thighs, creating a distinct area of space with the black knee-high socks underneath. Her light brown coat looked like an open-fronted women's suit, and a bright red bow tie adorned her neck. Two ribbons drooped naturally below the bow tie, adding a touch of detail to her flat chest.
Her face was as delicate as a life-size doll, and the most special thing about her was that her eyes were not the usual black or brown of Chinese people, but a very rare but beautiful silver-gray color.
The little girl seemed a little reserved standing in front of the camera, but she still politely bowed to Lin Zhenxi in the picture and said, "Hello Sister Lin, I am Qin Ningjing."
"What a cute little girl!" Lin Zhenxi put her face directly against the screen. If Lin's father's phone did not have the XR visual enhancement function, Lin Zhenxi could have directly popped out of the screen.
However, Lin Zhenxi's sudden action still scared the little girl. She took a step back in her bunny slippers and let out a super cute "Ah".
At this moment, Lin Zhenxi seemed to see the little girl's hair flash suddenly. In fact, the color of the headband and hair had reversed, the hair turned gray, and the headband turned black.
However, this change lasted for a very short time. In just a blink of an eye, the little girl's hair returned to its normal pure black color.
Well, it must be my eyes that are blurry, or the color signal of the video is just deviated.
The little girl quickly calmed down, lowered her head slightly and said, "Thank you, Sister Lin. I often hear my uncle and aunt talk about you. Sister Lin is indeed very beautiful."
"Hey, it's good enough that they don't complain about me. I don't expect them to say anything good about me. But now that she's in our family, there's no need to be so reserved. It doesn't matter if Mom and Dad can't change their ways for a while. I can just call her sister."
"Well...sister." The little girl nodded and said softly.
"Wow~~ I have a younger sister too. Although I've always been mentally prepared for this, it's still different to hear it in person. Okay, from now on, I'll be looking after you. I'll be home in a couple of days, and we'll have a good chat."
Lin Zhenxi's overly cheerful reaction seemed to make the little girl a little overwhelmed. She could only stand there, clenching her fists and looking at Lin Zhenxi helplessly with her watery gray eyes, not knowing how to respond.
"Okay, let mom answer the video call. I need to talk to her." Lin Zhenxi ended the conversation with her new sister.
Lin's mother quickly wiped the water off her hands and took over Qin Ningjing's shift. Lin Zhenxi asked Lin's mother how long her sister had been here, and why she was still wearing the same clothes at home, except for slippers. She didn't feel like she was at home at all, and seemed very uncomfortable.
When this was brought up, Lin's mother seemed somewhat helpless. She said, "That child is very stubborn about some things. No matter what we say, she won't listen. We bought her a lot of clothes, but she rarely wears them. She just wears her school uniform at home. She also has a pigeon. It's huge, almost as big as a parrot. I've never seen anyone keep a pigeon as a pet. They don't tie it up or keep it in a cage. Aren't they afraid it'll run away?"
"Wow~ What an interesting kid." Lin Zhenxi skipped this topic and started asking Lin's mother about the new sister's enrollment.
Lin Zhenxi had always wanted her parents to live in New Blue City. As one of New Blue City's earliest citizens, she had long since met the requirements for moving her family there. After all, New Blue City was at the forefront of the world, boasting comprehensive facilities. It could even be described as a futuristic city steeped in science fiction.
With the mass emergence of aliens, perhaps only those living in New Blue City could guarantee themselves against harm from those aliens who might react to the sudden change of environment. After all, other cities didn't have such a comprehensive alien management system, so some aliens would undoubtedly exist outside of their control. If they committed crimes, it would be difficult for city administrators to catch these aliens, who were much stronger than humans, and even if they could, it would be at a great cost.
In fact, this is the current mainstream trend in the world. Aliens have brought to the world not only cultural diversity and rapid technological progress, but also social chaos and a decline in public security.
While New Blue City's strong public security system stifles all destabilizing factors, conflicts and even hostility between natives and foreigners abound in every corner of this world. After all, New Blue City is only the city that houses the most foreigners in this world. Even if it manages to accommodate 30% of the total number of foreigners, there are still 70% scattered around the world.
In fact, Lin Zhenxi has always been worried that her parents will be harmed by aliens outside. Although she has cast protective spells on her blood relatives over the years, the spell's effect will fade with the passage of time when she leaves the main world. Moreover, Lin Zhenxi doesn't know what type of power the aliens will use if their parents are really attacked. Maybe it is the type that the spell is not very effective in protecting against?
For example, protection spells are relatively ineffective against toxins and abilities that change the environment.
That's why Lin Zhenxi has always wanted Lin's father and mother to come to Xinlan City. There is a "company" to help maintain public order. At least no foreigners dare to mess around here.
But Lin's parents had worked hard their entire lives in their hometown, their wealth and connections all woven into their legacy. Asking them to give up all that and move to a new city to support their daughter seemed to have been a distant consideration from the outset. No matter how much Lin Zhenxi tried to persuade them, they kept reconsidering, and then, like having a second child, nothing happened. Ten years later, Lin Zhenxi had essentially given up on the idea of them moving in. It's not uncommon for parents to be stubborn and unwilling to listen to their younger children.
However, the new sister's learning environment seems to be a good entry point.
The teaching environment in Xinlan City is completely superior to that of other cities outside. After all, even the teaching equipment is much more advanced than that outside. Things like fully virtual real environment teaching and artificial intelligence one-on-one tutoring have long been popular. You can also freely choose subject modules and specific content. Even those niche traditional crafts can experience the most realistic hands-on teaching in a fully virtual environment.
If the little girl could be allowed to go to school in Xinlan City, it would definitely be much better for her future than staying in her hometown, and maybe we could also take this opportunity to get Lin's father and mother to come over as well.
As soon as Lin Zhenxi mentioned this, Lin's mother's attitude softened. Chinese parents are not all like this; sacrificing themselves for their children's education is common.
"Then, let me discuss this matter with your dad and ask Jingjing for her opinion. Aren't you going home in a couple of days? We can discuss it then."
It was already good to get such a result, so Lin Zhenxi decided to stop while he was ahead and not continue discussing this topic.
Although Lin's parents had only been separated from Lin Zhenxi for a little over two months, Lin Zhenxi had been struggling alone in another world for two years, and there was no telling how much she wanted to talk to her family. So naturally, this chat lasted a long time. It wasn't until Lin's father came out of the restaurant to tell Lin's mother that lunch was ready that Lin Zhenxi ended the video call.
At the end of the video, Lin Zhenxi was very tempted by the meal that her father had prepared. She was especially jealous of the scene where Lin's father, mother, and her new sister were sitting at the table together.
She should have been included in this, but she had other things to do. Furthermore, in the main world, Lin Zhenxi was unwilling to overly display or rely on her extraordinary powers. She still wanted to live a normal life in the main world, rather than being treated as an alien from others.
At this time, Lin Zhenxi also saw the very special pigeon pet that Lin's mother mentioned about her sister. It was really big, probably more than two times the size of an ordinary pigeon.
It was obvious that Qin Ningjing valued his pet pigeon very much, even allowing it to sit at the table during meals. The pigeon seemed quite sensible, not making any noise while eating, but quietly pecking at the food on its plate. It didn't even seem to be picky about food, and would eat whatever Qin Ningjing gave it.
This treatment is not much different from Lin Zhenxi's black cat, right?
