A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

"Did you do it with her?"

Hearing Mai's mother's unexpected words, Uesugi Genshin subconsciously had a question mark in his mind. This question was a bit tricky.

"Yes," he answered truthfully, and they did it together.

It was the most unforgettable moment in his memory, it was the first time for all three of them.

Of course, this is not the only unforgettable thing.

Mai's mother did not react to this. It is unknown whether she was simply not interested in such matters or did not pursue the matter any further.

"Can I call you Hyun Shin-kun?"

"It doesn't matter." You are welcome.

"What is your relationship with the girl you just talked to?"

It was unclear which one he was referring to, but he said, "Subordinates and companions, most of them have this kind of relationship."

"What about the girl with black hair?"

Here, Mai's mother is obviously not asking about Yukinoshita, because Yukinoshita Haruno must have told Mai's mother that Yukinoshita Yukino is her sister.

"She is Kasumigaoka Utaha. I met her at her autograph session before. She is also a novelist like me, but she writes romance novels..."

As he was talking, he saw the dojo right in front of him. He reached out and opened the door, and sure enough, he saw Mai's figure inside.

At this moment, she was facing the door, wearing a blue shirt with a blue ribbon and blue casual pants.

It was really difficult for her to find such a pair of pants from the closet, because Uesugi Genshin knew that most of her closet was filled with skirts and...stockings.

Without Genshin Uesugi in the execution department, there would be no sparring session, so no protective gear would be worn.

"Xuan..." Seeing that it was her lover who opened the door, Sakurajima Mai was about to call out his name, but she discovered something even more surprising.

"Mom!" Kasan's word was filled with her surprise.

Of course it was a surprise to see her lover, but after all, she knew that this man would never die outside by mistake, and it was even more surprising that her mother appeared in front of her unharmed.

The hand holding the bamboo sword dropped limply, the fingers loosened, and the bamboo sword fell to the ground.

She took two steps forward barefoot, then paused, somewhat incredulous, and hesitated there with her eyes wide open.

"Mai..." Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, Sakurajima's mother also stood there.

"You are safe."

Hearing the sound of Mai about to cry, Uesugi Genshin trembled all over.

He knew that Mai was very strong, as she dared to rush back to the apartment from her workplace alone, and he was also very aware of her weak spots.

But this was the first time I heard her voice sound wet with tears.

Just as he predicted, the tears in her eyes accumulated more and more, as if the emotion in her heart could burst out at any time.

Mai's tears finally flowed from her eyes. She could no longer suppress her inner excitement and walked forward quickly.

Meanwhile, Sakurajima's mother covered her mouth and big tears fell from her pupils as she suddenly raised her head.

The two of them moved closer to each other and gradually accelerated.

In the center of the dojo, they hugged each other tightly.

"Mai..."

"mom!"

Mai was seen sniffling and rubbing her face against her mother's shoulder.

Uesugi Genshin leaned against the door frame, watching the reunion quietly.

After all, they are still mother and daughter.

Even if they had conflicts before and were isolated from each other, they were still mother and daughter.

Just when the snot was about to flow out of his nose, Uesugi Genshin was stared at seriously by her. He guessed that she probably didn't bring a handkerchief, so he raised his hands as if in surrender.

The eyes and nasal cavity are connected through a structure called the nasolacrimal duct. When people cry, a large amount of tears may flow into the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal duct, so a lot of mucus will flow out.

He took out a tissue from his pocket, pulled out a piece, and handed it to Mai, and of course Mai's mother.

After a brief silence, Mai left her mother's side.

Her tears had stopped, leaving only light tear marks on her face.

"Let's go back to the apartment first." Mai said first, then reached out, held Uesugi Genshin's hand, and pulled him out. Mai's mother followed behind them.

On the way, Mai seemed to have no intention of letting go of her hand. Even though her mother was beside her, she held her hand tightly and walked beside her mother.

"You live here." After arriving at the apartment, Sakurajima's mother looked around.

Of course, there was no one in the apartment. Uesugi Genshin knew that Shiyu was still working in the publicity department and had just dropped her work to greet him. Fengbin was rehearsing with his team members in the AV building. The performance would be on Sunday soon, and this time it would be more than an hour long. Kato was preparing lunch in the cooking department. The preparations before lunch were very time-consuming, especially for hundreds of people.

"Yes, along with the other three."

The apartment is not small, but it seems a lot more crowded with four people living in it at the same time.

But they are not sloppy girls. Even Shiyu would only forget to do housework when she was absorbed in her creation. And in this apocalypse, there are no editors urging for manuscripts.

The tidy living room made Sakurajima's mother nod with satisfaction. She sat on the sofa and asked, "Do you want to come with me?"

He got straight to the point, but Mai easily followed up with a firm answer: "No."

"You didn't even ask me where I was going."

"I don't want to ask."

As if the touching encounter just now was an illusion, Uesugi Genshin saw the mother and daughter starting a tit-for-tat conversation.

"The Self-Defense Forces set up an evacuation point in Haneda, and I was thinking about whether I should go there."

"The government is not trustworthy, let alone the Self-Defense Forces who are paid to work there." She actually went to the Kisarazu garrison to take a look.

"You want to stay here?"

"Yes." Mai nodded without any hesitation.

"......" Sakurajima's mother frowned, then quickly relaxed and said, "It's up to you. I hope this place is really safe."

Mother Sakurajima looked at him standing next to Mai and said, "I just thought that pink-haired girl looked familiar. You are the boy on TV before, right?"

"That's right." Uesugi Genshin admitted. He did change his image, as if he had entered the second stage, but Yui didn't change much. What's more, the Sobu High School uniforms worn by the others also reminded them of the protagonists of the malicious helicopter follow-up more than half a month ago, almost a month ago.

"What a big change." Sakurajima's mother sighed, "If it were in the past, I would probably ask you if you wanted to debut."

"I've already debuted." Uesugi Genshin smiled.

"Oh, yes, you are also a novelist." After looking forward briefly, Sakurajima's mother turned her gaze to Mai.

"Mai." Her tone was so serious that it made people feel cold. She asked, "Have you really thought about spending the rest of your life with this man?"

Chapter 217: Supporting My Sister

"I've already made up my mind."

Mai answered without a moment's hesitation, which touched Uesugi Genshin deeply.

On the way out of the apartment building, he asked, "Mai, do you hate your mother now too?"

After saying that they were going to pick up their sister after class, the two of them ran out temporarily.

"Hateful." He answered instantly.

There was no consideration and no hesitation.

She also did not deliberately speak out of turn, making Uesugi Genshin feel that she was just speaking out her inner thoughts.

Perhaps it was because of this that he even felt that Mai's clear distinction between likes and dislikes was so refreshing.

"That photo album I published in middle school,... I clearly told him that I didn't want to take swimsuit photos, but he agreed to it without my permission." From the expression, it seems that he doesn't care now, but...

"The disgust left behind at that time has not disappeared yet."

"Ah." Uesugi Genshin also understood, because hating mom in that matter and mom as a person are two separate things, "Hating is not important anymore."

"Yeah. And..." Mai took his hand, "Didn't a lot happen in this month?"

Mai glanced at him sideways, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

So Uesugi Genshin probably knew what she wanted to say.

Even though he knew it, he still hoped to hear Mai say it in her words, in her voice.

"what?"

Mai smiled helplessly. She stretched out her index finger and counted, "The sudden encounter with zombies, meeting Kazuka, knowing your existence because of Kazuka, the two days we lived together in the apartment, traveling together, and what happened after we came to Sobu High School. There were many battles where I risked my life, but it was also thanks to these experiences that I knew what was truly important."

The last part of the sound became very low, but Uesugi Genshin heard it clearly.

Moreover, the following words only need to be heard by him in this world.

"My hatred for that person has not diminished, but now there are many other important things in my heart. Although the feeling of hatred still exists, it is mixed with those important things, and as a result, I feel that it doesn't matter anymore and I don't need to care about it."

Mai, who continued to speak her inner monologue, finally showed a relieved expression.

In response to her explanation, Uesugi Genshin lowered his head and smiled, and also made him notice something.

People are complex. There are no simple positive and negative sides, nor are there black and white. Instead, there are turbid or clear gray colors, because various emotions do not exist independently.

If something good happens to you one day, because of this luck, the little things that you used to care about will no longer matter.

No matter how disgusting something is to you, you may be able to let it go because of something to be thankful for.

And Uesugi Genshin heard clearly that what Mai said was "there are many other important things."

In other words, her own words have already acknowledged that her disgust for her mother is also "important."

This kind of Mai gave Uesugi Genshin the feeling of a living person, and he could feel the warmth of a human being.

He is not a perfect superman or a fake with a mask, but a real person with complex thoughts of his own.

"I seem to like you more."

"What are you talking about? Suddenly." Just as Mai said this, she felt a warm touch on her cheek.

There was also a familiar and reassuring smell, followed by the flow of wind, and the feeling on my face immediately disappeared.

Mai quickly looked to the side, her fingers tightly clasped around his arm.

He tilted his head with a happy expression, as if he was happy that the prank was successful.

"Pfft..." Then, Uesugi Genshin took out Mai's cell phone from her trouser pocket with his free hand, placed it in front of her face and shook it.

"?" Mai looked at the black screen and saw herself being kissed on the cheek and looking at a loss.

It can be said to be extremely stupid!

The ensuing anger made her want to fight back.

She stood on tiptoe and was about to move her face closer, but she didn't expect that the other party had already expected it.

Instead of turning his profile towards her, he moved closer.

They felt the softness of each other's lips until Mai was out of breath, her heart pounding, and she felt like she was suffocating, then they separated.

Then they put their foreheads against each other and closed their eyes, savoring the feeling just now.

Looking at his smiling expression, Mai knew that he had succeeded.

But, I don't care.

On the contrary, Uesugi Genshin couldn't help but smile when he saw Mai's shy profile which was so cute.

The tall Mai's face was right next to her, so close that she could even count each of her long eyelashes.

He remembered that Mai was 165cm tall, which was considered very tall for Japanese girls, and even if she wore very high heels, she was only slightly shorter than him.

When I think about it, I want to see how she looks in high heels. I've never seen it before, and it would be even better if she could wear them with BunnyGirl's clothes.

"Um... is it appropriate for you to kiss at the gate like this?"

At some point, Isshiki Iroha, who was standing nearby, reminded her that she had just stood there and watched the entire thing!!!

"What, you're here." Uesugi Genshin looked at Isshiki.
