I just wanted to cultivate immortality, but I was forced to open a harem

Lin Hezhen withdrew his hand expressionlessly - he had just hit Mai on the head.

"Go to bed quickly and stop thinking about those messy things."

After saying that, Lin Hezhen turned around and flicked Yukino's forehead with his finger.

"It hurts." Xueno's eyes were filled with tears.

"Every thought is empty."

Lin Hezhen muttered something and rubbed Yukino's head with his big hands.

"I have cast a 'Forgetfulness Spell' on you. You will forget the dark and cruel plot you just watched and have a good sleep."

"Good night, girls, and sweet dreams." He calmly left the room and closed the door.

"Damn senior brother, he always knows how to play tricks on me!" Mai grabbed the pillow and threw it at the door.

Xue Nai stroked the spot on her head that he had just rubbed, and murmured to herself: "Bad guy, you come to disturb my heart again, it's really unforgivable..."

Chapter 131 Asking what love is in the world

After Lin Hezhen left, Mai and Yukino finally calmed down and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.

Lin Hezhen's room is the master bedroom. The big bed is 2 meters wide, enough for two girls to sleep safely.

They lay on each half, each covered with a thin blanket.

The night wind at the end of May blew slowly from Dongdu Bay. The moon was dim in the sky, and the tall buildings in the distance cast a neon glow, which fell on the ground through the gaps in the curtains.

“The last time we slept together was when we were camping with Kazuma and Maki-nee.”

In the quiet space where you could hear a pin drop, Mai's emotional voice suddenly rang out.

"Yeah, it happened not long ago, but it seems like a long, long time ago." Yukino also sighed.

The biggest change was that about a month ago, she could lie next to Mai Sakurajima without any grudge, instead of like now, there seemed to be a deep, invisible and intangible gap separating the two.

When it comes to the reason, Xueno knows very well that the gap does not come from the outside world, but from her heart.

It was her soul, her subconscious, and every cell in her body that was resisting this girl named Sakurajima Mai who loved Hayashi Kazuma.

The culprit who caused all this was lying in the next room, snoring heartlessly.

Leaving behind two sleepless girls, they talked about their thoughts under the moonlight.

"What does Senior Mai think of Lin Jun?" Xueno suddenly asked.

"You ask this." Mai suddenly remembered something and laughed silently.

"Yukinoshita-san, what do you think loneliness is?" she asked back.

Yukino didn't understand why she asked this, but still answered honestly: "For me personally, loneliness is not in the mountains but in the streets, not alone but among many people."

"I see, it seems we have similar views in this regard. I also feel that when I am forced to be in a crowd, that is when I feel the loneliest. There are so many people in this world, but no one is waiting for you to go home. When you return to an empty house and say 'I'm back', no one will ever reply 'Welcome home'. For me, that is when I feel the loneliest."

Mai continued, "I thought I would live a lonely life like this until I met him."

"At first, to me, he was just an ordinary boy, just like thousands of other boys, no different; to him, I was just an ordinary girl, I didn't need him, and he didn't need me. But as we got to know each other, I was gradually attracted to him and accepted by him. To me, he was unique in my world."

"But, does Lin Hezhen also think of you in this way?" Yukino asked gloomily.

Mai smiled: "What he thinks, does it matter? Liking him is my own business and my own decision. Maybe I will meet someone who treats me better than he does, but I will never be able to treat anyone else the way I love him."

Xue No was amazed at her realization, but couldn't agree with it: "I like things that will be rewarded as long as you work hard, because as long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. If there is no reward no matter how hard you work, it would be too hopeless and too cruel."

"That's because you haven't figured out what love is. Love means that once you fall in love with someone, you feel that that person is the only one for you; once you fall in love with someone, you want to possess that person completely; once you fall in love with someone, you want to be with that person forever! I'm talking about a lifetime. One year, one month, one day, or one hour less doesn't count as a lifetime!"

"Will such a person really appear?" Yukino stared blankly at the chandelier on the ceiling, her eyes somewhat dazed.

Mai sighed softly: "Maybe that person has already appeared, but you haven't discovered it yet."

Xueno said nothing more.

What Sakurajima Mai is looking for is so slim.

The man had built a siege around his own heart. The walls were so high that they blocked out all visitors. Anyone who wanted to get into his heart could only wander in vain outside the siege.

It is destined to be extremely difficult for Mai Sakurajima to get a reward for her efforts.

But, precisely because it is difficult, it is the real thing.

Because the truly important things will never be easily obtained from others. Things that can be easily obtained from others must be fake.

Yukinoshita Yukino knows very well that people cannot fully understand each other because humans are such pathetic creatures.

The desire to fully understand other people is an extremely self-righteous, arbitrary and arrogant desire, and the person who has such a desire is simply hopeless.

However, if both of them have such thoughts, and impose their crazy self-satisfaction on each other, if such people and such relationships really exist...

"I want to have the real thing, even for a moment."

As the girl sighed, the hazy night sky dripped raindrops as if in response to her.

The sky was hazy, with faint thunder.

The rainy season in May hides the girl's thoughts...

The next day.

The sky was gloomy, and intermittent showers fell in Dongdu as the rainy season arrived.

At this time, a drizzle covered the entire city, and the rain fell on the leaves, making a rustling sound.

Lin Hezhen still got up early.

In fact, sleep is optional for him. Practicing meditation can completely replace sleep and also allow his body to get sufficient rest.

It’s just that Lin Hezhen has a golden finger that allows him to practice automatically. He can practice while slacking off and while sleeping, so there is naturally no need for him to sacrifice his sleep time.

He changed his clothes and went to the bathroom as usual to take a shower.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yukino sitting on the toilet with the top three buttons of her pajamas undone, revealing a large area of ​​her body. Her pair of beautiful legs were completely exposed in front of him without any cover.

"you you you……"

Yukino was dumbfounded. She had never expected Lin Hezhen to suddenly barge in.

The pretty face turned red visibly, and even the slender and elegant neck was covered in pink.

"Sorry, I didn't see anything." Lin Hezhen closed the door and left at the speed of light.

"Can't you knock on the door? Obscene, disgusting, pervert!" Yukino's angry shout came from inside the door.

Lin Hezhen retorted: "You are the one. Don't you know to lock the door when you go to the toilet?"

"I didn't expect you to just barge in."

Yukino felt extremely ashamed.

It was all because the layout and decoration style of the rooms in this apartment were too similar. She had just woken up and her mind was not clear enough, and she almost forgot that she was staying at Lin Hezhen's house.

"Don't worry, your figure is nothing special. It looks the same from the front and back. You don't have to worry about exposing yourself."

"Asshole! You're taking advantage of me and still acting like a good kid. How can you comfort people like this in the world?" Yukino was furious.

Lin Hezhen suggested: "How about this, I'll take off all my clothes for you to see, and then neither of us will owe anyone anything."

After saying that, he pretended to push the door open again.

Xue Na was shocked and angry: "Lin Hezhen, if you dare to take it off, I will fight you!"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Mai came out of the kitchen in a panic.

"Sister Mai, he bullied me!" Yukino came out of the bathroom with tears in her eyes and threw herself into Mai's arms.

Mai scolded, "Kazuma, how could you bully little sister Yukino? That's outrageous. Apologize to little Yukino now."

Lin Hezhen was surprised and asked, "When did you two become so close?"

"We have always had a good relationship. In fact, if it weren't for a certain bad guy, Yukino and I would definitely become friends."

"You can be friends now."

"No," Mai smiled, "The moment Yukino realizes her heart, we can no longer be friends."

"What riddle are you talking about?" Lin Hezhen was confused.

"You'll know soon enough," Mai asserted.

"..."

Lin Hezhen could only say that no matter how many times he traveled through time, he still could not understand girls.

"It's time to eat."

“Wow, that looks delicious.”

"Thank you, Mai-sister."

"Just whatever I made. I hope it suits your taste."

Today's breakfast is Eggs Benedict made by Mai.

The tender poached soft-boiled egg is paired with flavorful smoked salmon, served with seasonal vegetables and soft bread, and finally drizzled with sour Dutch sauce, which is very appetizing.

Lin Hezhen praised: "Mai, you are too modest. With your cooking skills, you are more than qualified to open a restaurant."

Mai lowered her head slightly and said gently: "I don't have time to open a store. For me, being able to cook the dishes that the person I love likes is enough."

"Ahem," Lin Hezhen quickly changed the subject, "Mai, what time is your flight? Do you need me to take you there?"

Mai curled her lips and said, "No, my assistant will pick me up later."

"And he has an assistant, he's really a big star."

"I told my assistant that I stayed at my boyfriend's house last night." Mai leaned close to Lin Hezhen's ear and said with a smirk.

"Poof!" Lin Hezhen almost spit out the milk in his mouth.

"It's not appropriate to make such a joke," he said with a wry smile.

Mai pretended to be distressed and said, "But if I say that I stayed overnight at the home of a junior from the same school who is not my boyfriend, wouldn't that make it even more obvious?"

"Then you don't have to say you're staying over at my house. We all live in the same apartment anyway."

Mai Yi showed a tearful expression: "Brother, does it bother you so much if outsiders know about our relationship?"

Lin Hezhen scratched his head and said, "Oh, that's not what I meant. No, we are not that kind of relationship at all."

"Ding dong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell suddenly rang.

"Coming."

Lin Hezhen hurried over to open the door, only to see a young woman wearing glasses, short neat hair, and a professional suit standing outside.

"May I ask you are?"

"Hello, you must be Lin Hezhenjun that Mai mentioned. I'm Mai's assistant. Is she in there?"

"Ms. Ryoko, you're here." Mai came over after hearing the voice.

"Mai, have you gotten enough motivation from your boyfriend?" the assistant joked.

"Ms. Ryoko!" Mai showed a slightly shy and angry expression.

"Ah, this..." Lin Hezhen was a little embarrassed. He wanted to explain, but was worried that it would make Mai sad, so he just remained silent.

The assistant kindly reminded them, "You two are already living together, so you should be a little more careful. It would be bad if paparazzi secretly took photos of you and reported it to the media. Although you are an actress and not an idol, you are still so young and the news of you living together with your boyfriend has been exposed. Be careful of rumors."

Hearing this, Mai said seriously: "Just take the photo. Then I will hold a formal press conference to announce the fact that I am in a relationship."

"Aren't you afraid that it will affect your career?"

Mai said firmly: "If I can't be with the person I love openly, then I don't want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry."

"Mai..." Lin Hezhen looked at her stubborn look with a complicated expression.

Miss Ryoko laughed and said, "You are worthy of me, Mai. My boyfriend-san, you should cherish such a lovely and devoted girlfriend."

"Hahaha." Lin Hezhen didn't know how to answer and could only laugh dryly.

"I believe Kazuma will not let me down." Mai looked straight at Lin Kazuma, her eyes shining with innocence and enthusiasm, sparkling mysteriously like stars in the water.

"Ah, stop showing off your love and consider the feelings of an older single woman like me." Miss Ryoko shook her head with an expression that showed she couldn't stand it.
