The Self-cultivation of the Passerby Male Protagonist

"Wu Ye."

"what?"

"Remember to pay after eating."

"..."

I'll give you a lung!

Of course, Wu Ye didn't dare to say this sentence, after all, he didn't want to be sanctioned by Reimu's iron fist so soon.

He stuffed the dumpling into his mouth in twos and downs, and drank the bitter old tea like water. Wu Ye stretched his legs, supported his back, let out a sigh of dissatisfaction, and then opened his mouth in Lingmeng's eyes that were about to eat people.

"It wasn't that I went looking for her on purpose, but, um, how should I put it, I always felt as if she was waiting for me there specially."

It's rare for Wu Ye not to talk nonsense, and directly cut to the point: "She and I... said something very, weird, um, yes, it's just weird, because I still don't believe what she said at all."

Lingmeng hesitated for a moment, then asked, "...what did she say?"

"Well..." Wu Ye hesitated, glanced at Lingmeng quietly, and asked tentatively, "I told you, can you not do it?"

"……Let me try."

"Forget it, I still won't tell you."

"Tsk," Lingmeng said in an extremely depressed tone with several veins popping up on his head, "I promise, I will never do anything."

"That's good," Wu Ye heaved a sigh of relief, after a pause... still shook his head: "No, it's better not to tell you."

when! !

The familiar crisp sound echoed over the Hakurei Shrine, but this time it was no longer Takeya but Reimu who cried out in pain.

"It hurts! Takeya, you bastard! Did it on purpose?!"

Reimu blew on her red right hand in distress. Just now she really felt what a routine is. Her right fist hit Takeya steadily without any deviation... the summoned Gungnir superior.

Looking at the shriveled Reimu, Wu couldn't help sighing, "I think I can play this one for the rest of my life."

"Bastard! You actually tricked me!"

"Tch, who just said that you can't do it?"

"Who told you to trick me on purpose!"

"So don't you see that I didn't intend to tell you what the conversation was about at all?"

"Let's find a fight, you Wu Ye!"

"Calm down, I mean it."

After playing around, Wu Ye said sternly: "It's not that I wanted to hide it on purpose, but what she told me was too amazing. I can only tell you after I have to verify it."

"Hmph," Lingmeng turned her face away with some dissatisfaction, and her tone was obviously perfunctory: "Then what are you going to tell me today?"

"A guess."

Wu Ye looked at Lingmeng firmly and said: "If that person... what she said is true, then she chose to leave you and us back then, in fact, it was for our own good."

"..."

Hearing this, Lingmeng was slightly taken aback, then cast a cold glance at Wu Ye, but did not speak.

The two are childhood sweethearts, after the ancestor maiden left, but in this Gensokyo, they can almost be regarded as "depending on each other" to grow up.

Of course, this has to get rid of some factors that Wu Ye is in the outside world, and Reimu is still under the care of Yakumo Zi.

The long-term companionship has given them a unique tacit understanding. There are some things that even Marisa is inconvenient to talk about, or that idiot will not take the initiative to talk about these things.

Marisa has an extraordinary talent in magic, but she is recognized as an idiot, because this guy is almost becoming the famous saying machine of Gensokyo.

However, even a fool would not take the initiative to touch Reimu's restricted area.

Reimu hates trouble the most, and idiots are always associated with trouble, but Reimu doesn't hate Marisa, even though she never makes him feel better.

The ancient priestess is the deepest scar in Reimu's heart, a distance that even a fool can't touch, but Takeshi can.

Takeya once said jokingly that in Gensokyo, they were also left behind by the previous priestesses, and they could be regarded as relatives of each other. Reimu always remembered this sentence.

For Lingmeng, Wu is her only relative now.

The departure of the ancestor maiden, the two had different opinions, and there were no more than two types of results, one was optimistic and the other was pessimistic.

The optimistic view was put forward by Takeya. The previous priestesses chose to leave only to allow Reimu to grow into an independent priestess.

And the pessimistic view was naturally put forward by Reimu. As time went by, one year, two or three years, the previous priestess had been silent, and Reimu, who was sure that the other party would not come back, came up with this idea——

We are abandoned.

"……Do you believe?"

After a long silence, Lingmeng raised his head, looked at Wu Ye complicatedly and asked, "Do you believe it? She said it?"

"..."

Wu could also hear that what Lingmeng asked was not what he didn't say, but asked himself again, "Do you believe that the ancient witches chose to leave and abandon us for our own good?"

Wu Ye hesitated for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I told you not to do anything."
