CHAPTER 74 : Utaha's call
After finishing dinner and washing the dishes, Wu Shen, Mai, Yukino and Amane said their goodbyes for now and returned to their rooms.
Everything happened next as usual, Mai was playing and Wu Shen was taking care of the homework that was left for today. When all of this was completed, the time had entered completely late at night.
Wu Shen helped Mai take a shower, this time especially using a children's headband that she just bought from the supermarket. Now he no longer needs to make difficult movements to wash Mai's hair like before, and he no longer needs to be aware of problems like getting shampoo in his eyes all the time.
Right after giving Mai a bath, drying herself and getting dressed, when she came out, the charged cell phone placed next to the bed rang with an incoming call.
Taking a look at the caller ID, if Wu Shen remembered correctly, this seemed to be Kasumigaoka Utaha's phone number.
"Before leaving, she said she would call me in the evening. I thought it was just a joke, but it turned out to be true." Wu Shen sighed and answered the phone.
He didn't want to see Utaha angry like last time because he didn't answer the phone for a long time.
"Hey, Kasumigaoka-san. What's the matter? Do you want to discuss the content of the novel?"
"No, today we are not mainly talking about the content of the novel. I just wrote the first volume."
"Did you finish this? 80,000 words in less than a week?"
Wu Shen didn't expect Utaha to work so much, which is equivalent to an update volume of more than 10,000 words per day. But if you think carefully about her sleepy appearance on campus, you will know that Utaha must stay up late every day to write novels.
After practicing for so long every day, Utaha may be about to ascend to heaven.
"You're working too hard. You have to get some rest or your body might have problems like this." Wu Shen was quite worried about Utaha's physical condition.
"Due to the rewrite, there isn't much time left to participate in the Rookie Awards, and I can't help it. But after today's conclusion, I can sleep well." Utaha also typed a yawn.
"Go and rest early." Wu Shen didn't defend Utaha's risky behavior, but now he had no right to stop him.
"I'll sleep soon. Compared to this, the novel is finished. You can read it to me again tomorrow and give me your comments, and I will prepare to enter the competition."
"And tomorrow at noon?"
"The roof is blocked off. The new location is temporarily open for me. I'm not ready yet. Why don't we meet at the cafeteria after school?" Utaha suggested.
Although Wu Shen wanted to help Utaha, this proposal made him a little embarrassed. Because tomorrow is his work schedule and he has to work at the supermarket.
"I have a part-time job lined up for tomorrow night. I'm afraid I won't have time after school."
If he takes a leave of absence when he has just started working, he feels that the supermarket manager will not have a good impression of him.
"Is that so…" Utaha's voice gradually fell when she heard that Wu Shen was busy tomorrow afternoon.
"It can't be the day after tomorrow? It happens to be Saturday morning, so I have a lot of free time."
"Because the competition date is coming up, so I was hoping you could give me some advice tomorrow."
After a few seconds of pause, Utaha seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Let's go. How about I just wait for you to finish your part-time job and go home?"
Is Utaha coming to my house? Wu Shen was so startled by his sudden request that his body shuddered.
If these were normal times, Wu Shen might not have such a big reaction. Maybe he will be happy because their relationship can go further. But the problem is that today is different, because from today Yukino has moved in front of his house!
Imagine what Utaha would think if she saw that he lived so close to Yukino. What kind of misunderstanding can occur? Once it is actually discovered that Utaha may mistakenly think that he and Yukino have an intimate relationship, then the relationship he has worked so hard to establish with Utaha may be for nothing!
"This… this…" Wu Shen hesitated, feeling a little panicked.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll find the pornographic book you hid?"
"Who still uses paper pornographic books nowadays? All the ones I downloaded are electronic versions!" Wu Shen blurted out.
Because of Mai's arrival, Wu Shen reluctantly gave them all to Aki Tomoya and Nishimura Hideki.
"Oh? Didn't you refuse to admit it?" Utaha asked with interest.
It's a shame because he was so confused that he ended up saying it without thinking. Wu Shen patted his forehead, feeling irritated.
"The key is not this problem. Nowadays at home, at home…"
Wu Shen thought for a long time, but he couldn't find any reason to convince Utaha. He simply gritted his teeth and said boldly, "Actually, it's not a problem. Utaha, I actually want to visit your house!"
"Eh, eh!?" This time it was Utaha's turn to be incoherent. Obviously she didn't expect Wu Shen to be so bold and dare to hit the ball.
"Sorry, if it's not possible, forget it."
"No... I'm not saying it's not possible." After hesitating for a moment, Utaha replied, "My parents will be working overtime tomorrow night, so you can come here. ...I'll tell you my home address then."
"Kasumigaoka-san, did you agree?" Wu Shen was a little shocked and stood there in disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong. In fact, his words were just to attract Utaha's attention to other topics, and he didn't think such a request could succeed.
After all, he and Utaha had known each other for over a week and their relationship wasn't very close. And when you go to the opposite sex's house, you obviously need to have a very close relationship before the other party will agree.
Is your strategic plan about to be completed? Can he become the CEO soon, marry a beautiful girl and reach the peak of his life?
"Make no mistake, I'm just asking you to help me read the novel."
Utaha's words instantly brought Wu Shen back to his original state. It seems like I'm still being sentimental. The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
"I didn't think it was wrong, I was just surprised that you agreed. It's very risky for an unmarried man and woman to be in the same room together. You really trust me."
"What do I have to be afraid of now. If you were really the kind of person who can't control yourself, you would have acted directly last time." Utaha said indifferently, "Also, if it really happens' If it doesn't work, you can bring Mai-chan along with you, that way you can rest assured."
"What you said makes sense, but I'm speechless."
Wu Shen really had nothing to refute. It's fine in a love hotel, but will anything happen if you go to the other person's house? What's more, he can bring Mai with him. I believe Mai will be very happy to hear this news.
After making preparations for the evening, Wu Shen initially thought that Utaha was ready to say goodbye and hang up the phone. But after waiting for a long time, the other party just remained silent, but had no intention of hanging up the phone.
"Kasumigaoka-san? Is there anything else you want to ask?" Wu Shen was surprised by her silence, and at the same time, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Ah... it's about Yukinoshita Yukino. May I ask which club you're a member of? How did you get involved with her? Is Wu Shen-kun interested in her?" The question finally came. Wu Shen swallowed and felt a little nervous. The answer to this question is likely to greatly affect the progress of the relationship between him and Utaha.
