Chapter 150 Mai Sakurajima's Abnormality
"Is it not allowed? Or do you not want to come out with me alone?" Mai Sakurajima stared into Natsuo's eyes and asked.
"No, I'm actually very happy to be able to go on a date with the famous Mai Sakurajima. That's something to brag about," Natsumi replied, meeting his gaze with pride.
"What's so great about that?"
"You don't understand ordinary people, you don't understand men's thoughts, but you should understand the sense of accomplishment, right?"
"You mean you feel a great sense of accomplishment being with me, right?"
"That's roughly the idea, after all, you are Mai Sakurajima."
"Not lying? I remember you weren't interested in my identity at all before." Mai Sakurajima looked at him calmly.
"These are two different things," Xia Sheng said with a smile, shaking his head.
"I don't follow celebrities, but now that you're right here beside me, things are different. Naturally, I'll have those kinds of thoughts."
"You're really honest."
"There's nothing to hide."
"That's hard to say. Most people wouldn't directly express their true thoughts."
"That just means I'm not an ordinary person."
"You're definitely not an ordinary person, and it's fortunate that you are."
"Hmm?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.
Mai Sakurajima didn't explain. She met his gaze, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "I asked you out today for no other reason than to have you keep me company."
"That's not a problem, but is it really okay?"
"What?"
"You weren't even disguised, so you're easily recognized. If people take pictures and post them online with me, they'll probably misunderstand, right?"
"Let it be a misunderstanding. I've already planned to retire. It was bound to happen sooner or later," Mai Sakurajima said nonchalantly.
"It'll probably cause a sensation, right?"
"Are you scared?" Mai Sakurajima chuckled softly.
"Scared? Have you forgotten what I just said? This is something men can brag about."
"Is that so? Then please be my protector."
"Leave it to me."
When the tram arrived at the station, the two got off one after the other.
As soon as Natsumi got out of the car, he felt intense stares from behind Sakurajima Mai.
He looked up and saw many people casting admiring glances at him, as well as scrutinizing ones.
The stunning impression was of Mai Sakurajima, while the scrutiny was directed at Natsuo.
This is the first time that a man of the same age has appeared next to Mai Sakurajima in the public eye like this.
They were questioning his identity and his relationship with Mai Sakurajima.
"Are you nervous?" Mai Sakurajima asked Natsumi in a low voice.
"Nervous? Not at all. As long as you feel fine, that's all that matters." Xia Sheng laughed.
"That's definitely no problem, that's why I invited you out."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion. "Nothing, let's go, have some fun with me." Sakurajima Mai shook her head, offered no explanation, and led the way.
Xia Sheng followed her helplessly, walking alongside her.
Ignoring the stares of onlookers, the two left the station and headed towards the city center, behaving like normal companions.
Those who lingered on the platform followed them with their eyes until they disappeared. After a moment of silence, the atmosphere suddenly became restless.
"Isn't that Mai Sakurajima?!"
"Rarely seen! And in uniform!"
"Is she filming a movie?"
"Who's that guy with him? His boyfriend?"
"This is big news!"
Natsuo and Sakurajima Mai were unaware of the commotion at the station, but they could guess what it was.
Being an actor or celebrity dictates this kind of influence.
However, Mai Sakurajima's sudden invitation to Natsuo to go out left him somewhat confused about her intentions.
Is it really just a trip for fun?
And what did she mean by the reason she gave?
After wandering aimlessly with Mai Sakurajima for a while, Natsuo couldn't help but ask.
Where are we going?
"There's a dessert shop nearby that hasn't been open for long, I'd like to try it," Mai Sakurajima replied.
"What's wrong?"
"Just going to get dessert?"
"Yeah, it's just normal after-school fun, something I've always wanted to experience."
Xia Sheng wasn't sure if she was telling the truth, but after following her to the dessert shop she mentioned, seeing her order a lot of cakes, and sitting with her in a corner, he started to believe her.
Mai Sakurajima sat restlessly, her gaze constantly fixed on the counter where a female employee was preparing a cake for her.
She was eagerly anticipating it.
Soon, the cake was brought over. After the staff carefully arranged it, they lingered on Xia Sheng's face for a while before leaving.
She didn't have any feelings for Natsumi, but rather for Mai Sakurajima.
"Wow, this looks delicious!" Mai Sakurajima stared at the cake with shining eyes, almost drooling.
"So many......Can you finish them all?" Xia Sheng asked, looking at the colorful cakes.
"Isn't it because of you?"
"I?"
"Yes, I called you here so you could help me eat. I definitely can't eat this much by myself."
"I'll eat it for you... There are other options, right? Mahiru and the others like cake too."
"It has to be you~" Sakurajima Mai replied with a smile. "Aren't you going to tell me why?"
"It's not a very important reason," Mai Sakurajima said, glancing at the cake and picking up her knife and fork.
"Sigh." Xia Sheng sighed helplessly.
Her meaning was quite clear: she didn't want to talk about it.
"Stop sighing, hurry up and eat some for me, I want to try them all."
As Mai Sakurajima spoke, she divided the cake, giving most of it to Natsuo and keeping a small portion for herself.
"You only eat this little bit?" Xia Sheng's brow twitched upon seeing this.
"I can't eat that much, just a little bit of each is enough," Mai Sakurajima replied. "You're so generous..."
She said, "After all, I couldn't eat these things before, but now I can eat whatever I want. However, I still need to maintain my figure. You wouldn't like me getting fat, would you?"
"No, that won't happen," Xia Sheng shook his head and replied directly.
"Hmm?" Sakurajima Mai looked at him in surprise.
Xia Sheng picked up his knife and fork and said, "You might not believe it, but I don't care if you gain weight or not."
He did like Mai Sakurajima's appearance at first, but after getting to know her, he noticed that she gradually gained weight, so he didn't care anymore.
"Is that so?" Mai Sakurajima's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
"You're such a smooth talker."
"To be honest... this cake is really delicious!" Xia Sheng exclaimed in surprise.
The cream is delicate and silky, the cake is fluffy and soft, melts in your mouth, and is full of egg and milk flavor.
Even someone who doesn't like cakes can't help but like them.
"Right? If it's delicious, eat more." Mai Sakurajima laughed.
The two then stopped talking and began to enjoy the delicious cake. Mai Sakurajima also ordered black tea, and the cake and black tea were a perfect match.
It was the perfect after-school tea party.
After finishing the cake and drinking the black tea, Mai Sakurajima didn't rest much and left with Natsumi.
Her destination this time was the arcade.
There was a very popular arcade nearby. Natsumi followed Mai Sakurajima to the arcade and was amazed by its popularity.
The atmosphere was electric, and the place was packed!
Standing at the entrance of the arcade, Xia Sheng looked at the bustling scene inside and asked, "Why are we here?"
"What?" It was too noisy around her, and Mai Sakurajima didn't hear clearly.
Xia Sheng looked at her, and without hesitation, leaned close to her ear and asked again, "Why did you decide to come here?"
The breath coming from beside her ear made Sakurajima Mai a little uncomfortable. She shrank her neck and covered her ears.
She stared into Xia Sheng's eyes and noticed the smugness in them.
He did it on purpose.
Sakurajima Mai felt she had been provoked, so she patted his arm, signaling him to come closer.
She was more direct, blowing a light breeze into Xia Sheng's ear before replying, "I came when I wanted to."
Xia Sheng pulled his head back, shaking it, feeling a ticklish sensation that seemed to reach the very tip of his heart.
He looked at Mai Sakurajima's sly smile and nodded: "Alright, if you want to play, I'll play along to the end."
"Let's go then."
Mai Sakurajima led the way toward the counter.
Xia Sheng followed closely behind her.
The appearance of the two has already attracted the attention of many people.
She was naturally recognized as well.
