CHAPTER 82 : I can not do this!
Waiting is always difficult. Even if you have everything in mind, you will always worry that something unexpected will happen. Looking at the loaded jobs, Utaha kept clicking the mouse to refresh the interface, looking a little uneasy.
"What's wrong, Kasumigaoka-san? It looks like the selection results will have to wait a while, right? It's useless no matter how much you update now." Wu Shen lowered his hand that was frantically clicking on the mouse. If she continued like this, sooner or later the mouse would be broken by her.
"Of course I know that, but when I think about the possibility of losing the election, I can't help but feel anxious."
Stopping Utaha from frantically clicking the mouse, Utaha began clicking her heels again.
Wu Shen could probably understand Utaha's feelings. The period of time that candidates wait for results to be announced after taking important exams must also be a great torment.
No matter how confident you are, when facing the unknown future, you will feel internal expectations and discomfort.
"Relax. If you fail, keep signing up and writing. It's no big deal," Wu Shen consoled.
From Mai's description, he knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha would definitely win the grand prize with this new book selection. But in order to change the future that was cut in half into three volumes, Wu Shen interfered with normal historical development.
Although, in his opinion, the content of the new novel should be stronger than the original two volumes. But in truth, Wu Shen had no idea how the judges would evaluate the new changes.
Seeing Utaha's anxious expression, even he himself became a little infected. I started thinking about whether it was right to change the story's progress like this. It turns out that I still passed the Grand Prix Competition. What if Utaha wasn't selected because of my interference?
In that case, wouldn't I have made a big mistake?
However, recalling the story that Mai told, which was also the present he was experiencing, Wu Shen unknowingly regained his composure.
If he wants to change the result of being cut in half, he must take risks and make changes. Both Wu Shen and Utaha think that the altered work is better than the original, so it's good to have a clear conscience!
"Yes, if you fail, keep writing and submitting. There is no other way to change."
"And no matter how anxious we are, future outcomes will not change because of our feelings."
"In the end, it's still me. I think too much." Utaha breathed a sigh of relief and slowly began to calm down and return to her original state.
"I didn't expect that, Wu Shen-kun, you're surprisingly good at comforting girls. I didn't think you were skilled at that kind of thing." Utaha turned sideways and looked at Wu Shen, who was sitting next to her, with a smile.
"Skilled... I can count on both hands the number of girls I have close relationships with in my life. Where can I be skillful?" Wu Shen said with embarrassment.
"So besides me, there are nine girls who have a good relationship with you?"
"Where did you hear that meaning? How can there be so many nine?" Wu Shen complained.
If we want to be more serious, Utaha, Yukino, Mai, Amane and Nanami are the only five girls he has a good relationship with and can talk to to exchange a few words. Amane is very young and could be excluded. Mai is his daughter, not counting her. There are only three that meet the criteria.
"That means there are less than nine, but is there?" Utaha caught something insightfully and the smile on his face grew thicker.
Oops, I accidentally spilled the beans. Isn't this self-inflicted?
"What a disappointment. Originally, I thought you were destined to be alone all your life." Utaha seemed vaguely lonely, but quickly returned to normal.
"Speaking of which, to comfort the girls, how long are you going to hold other people's hands like this? Are you comfortable?" Utaha didn't move away, but turned her gaze to her right hand, which was still holding the mouse, with her left elbow supporting it. Table, chin resting on palms.
"Ah... I'm sorry! I forgot to take this off because I was so excited." Wu Shen hurriedly released his outstretched right hand, as if he had been electrocuted.
"Since it's over, I'll leave first." Wu Shen stood up in a panic, preparing to leave.
"Don't you plan to stay a little longer?"
"It's getting really late and unfortunately I won't be able to catch the last bus. Plus, Mai-chan is still waiting alone at home."
"That's right, you still have Mai-chan's affairs, so this time you didn't bring Mai-chan here. Fortunately, I still want to get close to her." Utaha showed a bit of regret.
be sure. From now on, Utah, you will have plenty of time to get closer to Mai. This time is probably as long as half a lifetime. Wu Shen thought in his heart.
Wu Shen was already planning to leave, and when he arrived at the room, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside.
"This sound…" Utaha also heard footsteps approaching at this time, and her expression suddenly changed.
As children, if you do some secret things when your parents are not around, you will always develop the ability to judge your parents' steps. Utaha is obviously no exception.
She immediately dragged Wu Shen to the living room window and looked at the building's parking lot. When she saw a familiar vehicle parked there, her expression became panicked.
"That's my parents' car! They clearly said that they would work overtime tonight, why did they come back so early today? There is a great person alive at home!" Utaha looked out the window and quickly glanced at Wu Shen, suddenly his head seemed very big.
"Hide quickly! Hide quickly!" After Utah said this, he pulled Wu Shen's collar and tried to stuff him into his bedroom closet.
"I can't fit into such a small wardrobe," Wu Shen said helplessly after hitting his head several times.
The wardrobe in Utaha's room is not very big and there is a mezzanine in the middle where all kinds of clothes are placed. It is not easy for a living person like Wu Shen to hide.
"Jump out the window! You jump out the window and run away!" When the plan failed, Utaha immediately came up with another plan.
Wu Shen looked out the window. Utaha's house was located on the fourth floor of the apartment building. Due to the special design of the floor, it was almost as high as the fifth floor of an ordinary house. If Wu Shen jumped, he would jump. they only end up being torn to pieces.
"I can not do this." Looking at the height of the five-story building, Wu Shen broke out in a cold sweat.
"Hide in the bathroom, hide on the porch… anyway, hurry up and hide somewhere your parents can't find you." Utaha had completely lost her cool.
Wu Shen was also very nervous. He and Utaha still haven't gotten along, so now is not a good time to meet each other's parents.
There was no chance of getting through the main entrance. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Because of the delay, they missed the best time to leave.
If he had run decisively when he heard the footsteps, he might not have been discovered, but if Wu Shen opened the door and escaped now, he would definitely catch up with Utaha's parents and let them find out that he had run away from Utaha's house. The scene that comes out.
Where can I hide so I won't be discovered for a while? Wu Shen looked around Utaha's room, first hid his shoes, erased the traces of his presence, and finally made a decision.
