CHAPTER 75 : The melancholy Mai

"Do you still remember the time I confessed to Hiratsuka-sensei?" Wu Shen asked.

"Of course I remember. Back then, I was writing and was almost discovered by Hiratsuka-sensei, so you used this method to divert public attention in exchange for my secret not being leaked." Utaha who was originally excited, his tone of voice became a little lower.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Hiratsuka-sensei is very kind to students and didn't take my confession seriously. She probably realized it was just a hoax." Wu Shen smiled.

"Okay, but I'm asking about Yukinoshita-san. How did you talk about it? Are you changing the subject?"

"No, because of that incident, I was called to Hiratsuka-sensei's office. She said that as punishment, I was forced to go to the club founded by Yukinoshita-san to receive education. So my relationship with her is just that of members of the same club."

"I see. So you still blame me?" Utaha understood what was happening, and his voice got a little bitter, but I felt much more relaxed.

"I thought Wu Shen-kun liked a girl like Yukinoshita Yukino, who was cold and poisonous because she was a sissy."

Wu Shen's tense mood relaxed after hearing Utaha's playful words. Being able to joke like this proves that after her own explanation, Utaha no longer cares about the matter.

"Haha, actually, when it comes to being poisonous and evil, Utaha is also a first-class person."

"I am honored to accept your compliment."

"Is that kind of adjective a compliment to you?"

"It is not? it is not? Does that count?" Utaha asked.

"OK you won." Wu Shen did not dare to continue competing with Utaha.

"Then we'll see you after school tomorrow. Call me after you finish your part-time job, and I'll tell you my home address."

"Well, let's do this. Utaha, you should also go to bed early. If you keep pushing yourself like this, your body will collapse. It won't feel good anymore."

After saying goodbye, Wu Shen pressed the end button on his phone.

"Did Mom and Dad just talk about when to continue the next generation?" After the call ended, Mai, who was blatantly "listening" on the side and her face almost touched Wu Shen's ear, asked excitedly.

"Are you very impatient? There are ground rules for giving birth. We haven't even reached the courtship stage yet." Wu Shen patted Mai's forehead and sighed helplessly.

"It's all because daddy's a loser! It's been a week and mommy hasn't fallen!" Mai stood up on the bed while Wu Shen sat on the edge of the bed. It was rare to be able to hit Wu Shen in the head with a small fist.

"It looks like a war and it's still going down. You think I'm going to blow up the bunker." Wu Shen leaned forward slightly and easily avoided Mai's small attack.

After that Mai tried to attack several times, but failed, she rolled over on the bed angrily.

Wu Shen just watched Mai rolling over and over. When she was tired, Mai collapsed onto the bed. After a while, she asked with a hint of concern, "Dad, are you wholeheartedly devoted to my mother?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Wu Shen turned his head, very curious about this matter.

"Because there's sister Yukino on the other side. Dad, you're not going to fall in love with her are you?"

"Pfft!" Wu Shen almost laughed out loud.

"Dad, why are you laughing! I'm asking again, seriously!", Mai shouted with her little hands shaking.

"Even if I fall in love with Yukinoshita-san, it is impossible for Yukinoshita-san to fall in love with me," said Wu Shen with a self-deprecating smile.

"So Dad is attracted to Sister Yukino! I don't want to disappear!" Mai held his cheek with her little hand and looked at Wu Shen with pity.

"Where did you think of that? We're just friends, no, probably not even friends, just acquaintances." Recalling the previous scene where Yukino shook her head, Wu Shen changed his words midway.

"But I heard someone say that there is no such thing as pure friendship between men and women!" Mai muttered and responded with an unconvinced expression.

"But Yukinoshita-san and I aren't even friends." Wu Shen shrugged, "By the way, who do you think I am? It's not like I like a girl when I see one"

"But sister wolf in sheep's clothing said that every man is a playboy. Dad is also a man, so he must be no exception!"

"The wolf sister in sheep's clothing?" Wu Shen thought for a long time before realizing that Mai was referring to Haruno. When they met on the fourth floor of the department store that day, Haruno seemed to have said a lot of nonsense in front of Mai.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person!" Wu Shen patted his chest and said rightly.

"Does that mean Dad isn't a man?"

"Pfft... Mai-chan, what kind of logic are you talking about?" Wu Shen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He was defeated by Mai's innocence.

"Anyway, I'm afraid of disappearing…" Mai grabbed the sheets, remembering what happened in the future, and her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She did not disappear in an instant, but her presence gradually disappeared. First, her figure became irregular from time to time, but her parents occasionally ignored her presence and forgot to pick her up from school several times.

Immediately afterwards, the figure's dimming frequency continued to increase. At that time, Wu Shen and Utaha had completely forgotten about her existence and only considered her a lost child.

Then her figure gradually became blurry and transparent, and others did not even notice her existence. The evidence and traces of her existence in the world began to disappear little by little. Her name was not found in the school notebook. Mai's small bedroom has been turned into a study and there is no information about her in the residential registry.

Until the end of her confusion, Mai stood in the crowd and could vaguely see Wu Shen and Utaha passing in front of her. However, none of them looked back, and even Wu Shen and Utaha moved forward. separately. The directions are completely opposite, as if they were strangers who had never met.

Wu Shen didn't recognize Utaha, Utaha didn't recognize Wu Shen, and none of them could detect the blurry Mai.

When Mai wanted to scream to stop them, her vision went black and she lost consciousness. This was her last memory of her original time.

"What is wrong?" Wu Shen realized something was wrong. At first he thought it was just Mai who was getting weird again, but when he turned sideways and looked closer, he discovered that Mai's eyes were a little red.

"I don't want to disappear and I don't want my parents to become strangers without contact with each other. That kind of future... I don't want to see." Mai sobbed softly.

"Okay, don't think nonsense. Didn't I make a deal with you?" Wu Shen touched her little head and comforted her: "Just be careful, Mai-chan, because the girl I like won't be able to escape my clutches!"

"Haha, dad, you're talking about yourself like a villain from a fairy tale." Mai was amused by this phrase and burst into laughter.

Wu Shen said this on purpose, just to make Mai laugh.

"Dad likes Mom, right?" Mai asked after hesitating for a moment, her big watery eyes looking at Wu Shen expectantly.

"I like it, of course I do. Do I have any reason to hate a girl as good as Utaha?" Wu Shen quickly replied.

"Hehe, that's good!" Mai nodded with satisfaction, as if she had discovered something, and was suddenly enlightened.

"And I suddenly thought, if dad also likes sister Yukino, then he and mom can marry them all at home! With two moms, I can have double my money every month! Oh yes! Haha, I'm so genius! I really admire my intelligent mind..."

After saying that, he danced a little, and Mai, who was tired and sleepy, finally couldn't take it anymore and fell asleep peacefully.

Mai-chan... This kind of thing is simply impossible. Don't you know that the laws in most countries are monogamy?

Wu Shen, a pure and pure young man with an awareness of heaven and earth, had never had such devious thoughts.

Of course, children always like to simplify things. Wu Shen shook his head helplessly and covered Mai with a quilt as she slept.
