Chapter 153 The Easily Appeased Shiina Mahiru
After finishing their milk tea, it was getting late, so Natsumi and Mai Sakurajima took the train home.
The two had different destinations and got off the train one stop apart.
Mai Sakurajima was in front, followed by Natsuo.
The two did not exchange a single word during the tram ride.
Mai Sakurajima sat in her seat, gazing out the window, seemingly lost in thought, completely motionless.
If Xia Sheng hadn't reminded her, she would have missed her seat.
As for what she was daydreaming about, Xia Sheng guessed it was related to an indirect kiss.
He's not blind; how could he not see how much she cared?
He even dared to show off.
It seems she is indeed taking action.
I didn't lose out today.
Not only did she have a date with Mai Sakurajima, but she also got to try imported milk tea.
Xia Sheng was very satisfied.
But when he got home, his smug feeling vanished instantly.
"My cousin's back? Did you have a lot of fun?"
As I was changing my shoes in the entryway, Yuki Suoh came over. Her tone was laced with sarcasm, and she kept gesturing for me to go inside.
Natsuki noticed Shiina Mahiru sitting inside.
After changing into his indoor shoes, Natsumi ignored Yuki Suoh and went to the living room, where he casually sat down next to Mahiru Shiina.
Yuki Suoh returned to her room and secretly watched from the doorway.
"Phew, that must have been exhausting." Xia Sheng let out a long sigh and exclaimed.
"Is that so?" Shiina Mahiru asked him, her expression indifferent.
You seem very happy, don't you?
"What are you talking about?" Xia Sheng felt a pang of panic, but remained outwardly calm.
"See for yourself." Shiina Mahiru didn't say anything more and simply tossed her phone to him.
Xia Sheng took it, glanced at the content on the screen, and his lips twitched.
[Shocking! Mai Sakurajima's boyfriend looks like this!]
[Shocking! In broad daylight, Mai Sakurajima was caught taking turns drinking bubble tea with her boyfriend!]
[Mai Sakurajima and her boyfriend are sweetly playing the claw machine!]
[Sakurajima Mai...]
Xia Sheng was filled with curiosity as he looked at several trending topics, after all, the headlines were too attractive.
It's especially related to Mai Sakurajima.
Mai Sakurajima transitioned from a child star to an actress, gaining immense popularity and becoming a household name across all ages.
The news and trending topics related to her, especially these kinds of gossip, are incredibly popular.
Xia Sheng had anticipated this, but he didn't expect it to spread so quickly.
No wonder it felt a little cold in the house when he came back.
"Ahem, as expected of Mai-senpai, she's really famous." Xia Sheng coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment and was about to put away his phone.
"What are you doing? That's my phone," Shiina Mahiru reminded her.
"Oh!" Xia Sheng realized what was happening and quickly handed the phone back to her.
"Heh~" Shiina Mahiru took the phone and smacked it softly.
"What's wrong? Feeling guilty?"
"Feeling guilty? Why?" Xia Sheng asked righteously.
"Then why are you so nervous?"
"Nervous? No, not at all."
"You're sitting very upright, what's going on?"
"Really?" Xia Sheng immediately relaxed and leaned back on the sofa.
"Stop pretending." Shiina Mahiru's expression turned cold, and she rolled her eyes at him. "Oh, I was just afraid you'd get jealous~" Natsuo wasn't shy at all, and directly grabbed her hand and started to act cute.
"Why would I be jealous?" Shiina Mahiru asked expressionlessly, glancing down at Natsuo's hand.
His hands were very restless, rubbing the back of her hand.
"You really weren't jealous?" Xia Sheng asked, expressing disbelief.
The two have been together for quite some time, and especially after their relationship became intimate, Shiina Mahiru's emotions are quite obvious.
Like a vinegar jar.
"no."
"No, that's good." Natsumi didn't stand on ceremony and hugged Shiina Mahiru, placing her on his lap.
Shiina Mahiru panicked for a moment, grabbing her collar to steady herself: "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to do anything, I just want to hug you." Xia Sheng wrapped his arms around her slender waist and gently inhaled her sweet scent.
A sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.
"You just came back from going out with another woman, and you still have the nerve to hug me?" Shiina Mahiru said in a low voice.
"Didn't you say you weren't jealous?" Xia Sheng looked at her amusedly.
"I'm not jealous, but that doesn't mean you're not jealous," Shiina Mahiru emphasized.
"Really? But you were the one who gave me permission to go out with Mai-senpai." Natsumi laughed, shifting the blame.
"I agreed to let you go out and have fun, but I didn't ask you to be all lovey-dovey with other people, play claw machines, or drink bubble tea... I haven't done any of those things."
"You still say you're not jealous? Admit it honestly." Xia Sheng released one hand and pinched her cheek.
Smooth and bouncy.
"So what if I'm jealous!" Shiina Mahiru slapped his hand away, no longer pretending.
"I'll be happy if you're jealous," Xia Sheng replied with a smile.
"happy?"
"It's simple, why are you jealous? Because you like me."
"That's wishful thinking. I never said I liked you." Shiina Mahiru turned her head away.
"I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite, Mahiru."
"You're so annoying!"
"Hehe~ Actually, I brought you a gift."
"What?"
"This." Xia Sheng handed her the bear plush toy that he had just placed aside.
"This is..." Shiina Mahiru blinked, staring at the bear plush toy with a look of delight in her eyes.
"Do you like it? It's a gift for you; it reminds me a lot of you."
"How is it similar...?"
Despite saying that, Shiina Mahiru took the bear plush toy and stared at it with bright eyes.
"Just sleep with it tonight, it's okay to treat it like me," Xia Sheng joked.
"Dream on! I'm not going to sleep with it in my arms. I'm not a child anymore," Shiina Mahiru refused.
"That's a real shame." Xia Sheng shook his head, not caring at all.
"Hmph~ I'll forgive you for the sake of this teddy bear."
"Mahiru-sama is the best!"
"Alright, put me down now. It's time to make dinner. You probably... haven't eaten enough, have you?" Shiina Mahiru squinted at him.
"Of course, I can't wait to eat the dinner you made," Xia Sheng replied immediately as he let go of her.
"That's more like it..." Shiina Mahiru nodded in satisfaction, got off Natsuo's lap, and walked towards the door.
"Aren't we making dinner?" Xia Sheng asked, puzzled.
"Put your things down for a bit," Shiina Mahiru replied without turning her head.
Xia Sheng smiled without saying a word. She really liked the doll, but it was uncertain whether she liked it just for the doll itself or because it was a gift from him.
"Cousin~"
After Shiina Mahiru left, Suo Yuki came out of the room and skipped towards him with a fawning smile.
"What's wrong?" Xia Sheng glanced at her sideways.
He knew she was peeking.
"Hehe~ Cousin is amazing! He managed to win over Mahiru-senpai in no time." Suoh Yuki gave a thumbs up and praised him.
"Of course." Xia Sheng proudly raised his chin.
"Hehe~ Shouldn't my cousin try to coax me too?"
"?" Xia Sheng looked at her, puzzled.
"Cousin, stop pretending. I saw it all. That kitten plush toy is for me, right?" Suoh Yuki stared at another plush toy next to Natsuo, her eyes full of anticipation.
"...Sorry, you're overthinking it."
"Huh?" Suoh Yuki stared at him blankly.
"What does my cousin mean?"
"This doll isn't for you."
"Really? My cousin isn't... lying to me?"
Why would I lie to you? And why would I try to comfort you?
"Cousin! I'm getting angry!" Suoh Yuki puffed out her cheeks, huffing and puffing.
"Give me a reason to be angry." Xia Sheng looked at her with a grin.
"I'm your cousin! How can you go out with other women behind my back? You've never even taken me out!"
"Of course I deserve it." Xia Sheng remained unmoved.
"cousin!"
"Alright, alright, next time, I'll definitely give you a doll next time, but I'll let it go this time."
Xia Sheng got up, rubbed her head to comfort her perfunctorily, and then took the kitten plush toy and walked towards his room.
"My cousin is so mean! He doesn't care about me at all!"
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Xia Sheng ignored her completely and went straight back to his room.
Entering the room and closing the door, Natsumi lay on the bed, took a picture of the kitten plush toy, and sent it to Yukino Yukinoshita.
