Chapter 17
Bringing Sakurajima Mai Home for the Night

The highest level of changing the subject should be like Yan Xi, directly making Sakurajima Mai speechless.

"I'll just sleep on the couch." Sakurajima Mai said with annoyance.

Angry as she was, basic courtesy was still necessary.

She was a guest, staying at Yan Xi's place. There was no way she could ask him to give up his bed, no matter what.

Of course, if Yan Xi were to be a gentleman and offer her the bed, she would gladly accept it.

Thanks to Yan Xi's outstanding appearance, Sakurajima Mai felt that sleeping on his bed wouldn't be repulsive.

Of course, with their current relationship, even if Sakurajima Mai slept on the bed, she would be wearing clothes.

"It's great that Ms. Mai is so understanding." Yan Xi said easily.

Sakurajima Mai thought she would have to go back and forth with him, but it was decided so easily.

In this unexpected aspect, Yan Xi never disappointed her.

Next came the enjoyable part of eating. Sakurajima Mai went to take a bath, while Yan Xi listened to the sound of water in the living room.

Before entering the bathroom, Sakurajima Mai repeatedly instructed Yan Xi not to do anything strange.

But the rebellious nature of humans makes them want to do something more when they are told not to.

The sound of water flowed into Yan Xi's ears, making him think wildly.

Yan Xi was indignant, testing him like this?

No cadre could withstand such a test!

However, before he could act, Sakurajima Mai was already out of the bathroom.

"So fast!" Yan Xi was surprised.

"I don't need to soak, just a quick wash is fine." Sakurajima Mai said.

Before coming to Yan Xi's place, she went back to get a change of clothes, and threw the previous set directly into the washing machine.

Not a single chance was left!

Teenage boys have all sorts of strange fantasies, like doing something to their clothes.

But fantasies are just fantasies. If Yan Xi really did that, he would only feel that his actions were obscene and unworthy of him.

Seeing Yan Xi's look of regret, Sakurajima Mai said vigilantly, "You must have wanted to do something with my bath water!"

"Of course not... probably."

"Don't hesitate in your answer!"

At night, as agreed, Yan Xi slept on the bed and Sakurajima Mai slept on the couch.

The bedroom door opened, and in the small room, they could hear each other's breathing.

"I can't quite sleep." Sakurajima Mai said softly.

"Same here, want to do something fun?"

"No driving!"

"Yes, yes~"

Sakurajima Mai was silent for a while, then she said, "Why don't you talk about your past?"

"My life before was boring."

"I want to hear it."

What's with this slightly coquettish tone?

This Sakurajima Mai is not right!

But Yan Xi just ate it up.

"It was really boring, all I did was study and work part-time."

"I couldn't fall behind in my studies, because I needed a scholarship. The part-time job wasn't very tiring, because there was an age limit."

Yan Xi only said a few words, but Sakurajima Mai felt an unspeakable loneliness.

To be honest, even Yan Xi himself didn't feel anything from these few words, Sakurajima Mai's feelings were all her own imagination.

She must be really good at reading comprehension questions!

Sakurajima Mai didn't speak again. No matter what she said at this point, it would sound like pity and charity.

Yan Xi was a proud person, and Sakurajima Mai had realized this from their brief interactions.

Gradually, the two of them listened to each other's breathing and fell asleep.

……

……

Nothing happened that night, and Yan Xi was deeply regretful.

The next day, Sunday.

Sakurajima Mai got up early to prepare breakfast.

Sakurajima Mai was a great cook, she had trained for it when she participated in cooking related variety shows before.

"Good morning, Ms. Mai." Yan Xi yawned sleepily and greeted Sakurajima Mai.

"Breakfast is ready, come and eat."

Yan Xi sat down obediently, eating the breakfast prepared by Sakurajima Mai and said with a sigh, "Ms. Mai, you are actually the type to be a good wife and mother."

Sakurajima Mai raised an eyebrow and said, "Suddenly I'm curious, what kind of image do I have in your eyes."

"Overbearing female CEO?"

"You've read too many light novels!"

Hearing the evaluation of a good wife and mother, Sakurajima Mai actually felt a little smug, but in order to avoid making Yan Xi proud, she pretended to be unconcerned.

"If things go well, this life will be over today." Sakurajima Mai suddenly sighed.

The agency will hold a press conference at six o'clock in the afternoon, releasing the news of Sakurajima Mai's return.

As the person involved, Sakurajima Mai will naturally attend.

"I didn't expect Ms. Mai to miss this life so much."

Yan Xi meant disappearing.

As for what kind of life Sakurajima Mai was referring to, Yan Xi had no idea.

After breakfast, Yan Xi took out a notebook.

"Take a look."

"What is this?"

Sakurajima Mai curiously opened the notebook, which looked like a diary, except that some parts were erased.

"The erased parts are 'Sakurajima Mai'." Yan Xi said, "It seems that Ms. Mai has become 'The Disappeared Sakurajima Mai' again."

'Existence' disappears, and related information is erased by supernatural forces.

Learning that she was in a 'disappeared' state, Sakurajima Mai was not at all panicked, but instead looked at Yan Xi's notebook with interest.

Sakurajima Mai smiled, saying with pleasure, "You remember everything that happened after we met so clearly."

Yan Xi twitched his mouth and said, "Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing?"

"Anyway, you'll help me like you did yesterday, right."

Sakurajima Mai's trust in Yan Xi seemed to have taken another step forward.

"... No, your attitude makes me a little bit upset. I'm considering whether to help or not."

Sakurajima Mai coaxed, "Kind Yan Xi-sama, please help me~"

"What's with this childish coaxing tone!"

After the joke, Yan Xi and Sakurajima Mai randomly selected a lucky passerby on the street to write down a command.

The passerby happened to be a fan of Sakurajima Mai. He was ecstatic to see his idol, and Sakurajima Mai even gave him an autograph.

He's truly a lucky passerby now!

Yan Xi asked curiously, "Is it okay to sign autographs casually?"

Shouldn't celebrities' autographs be arranged by their agency?

"Of course it's fine, it's a small matter."

Yan Xi was instantly inspired.

Seeing him like this, Sakurajima Mai rolled her eyes and said, "You wouldn't want me to sign a lot, then take them to sell, would you?"

"Damn, are you a worm in my belly?" Yan Xi looked at Sakurajima Mai in shock.
