Chapter 18
The content is that she has already gone out and is rushing to the agreed place.
"She's already gone."
Long Yi spoke softly.
"Um……"
Mai Sakurajima took a deep breath. After Long Yi's deliberate stimulation yesterday, she also planned to face her heart and show her cards to her mother.
Long Yi had a tacit understanding with her, so he and she gathered early and rushed to Qili Bin.
The three stops passed quickly. The two of them walked out of the subway station, came to the embankment, walked down the steps, and arrived at the seaside.
No one had arrived yet, so the two of them just walked around the beach and chatted.
"It is said that there is no Nanalihama." Mai Sakurajima stepped on the beach in boredom.
"It's normal. Shilitun is also Shili."
The two talked nonsense.
"Haha, after resuming my acting career, I really want to come here to film and shoot scenes." Mai Sakurajima suddenly smiled.
"In that case, maybe I can be your acting partner."
"Based on Long Yi's acting skills, I'm afraid he can only be a dragon in armor."
"Hey, it's really too much to attack people like this."
"Just telling the truth."
The two of them kept talking to each other, and soon ten minutes passed, when a beautiful figure walked up the embankment.
From a distance, she looks a bit like Sakurajima Mai.
No, it should be said that Mai Sakurajima looks a bit like that person, because the person who came was none other than Mai Sakurajima's mother.
Long Yi pursed his lips and smiled, stopped and looked at Mai Sakurajima, meaning "I won't disturb your mother-daughter reunion"
Mai Sakurajima was silent for a moment, calmed down her little nervousness, and walked towards her mother.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
The girl said hello. Although she was a little far away, Long Yi heard her very clearly.
The mother's pace was slightly slower, but she did not respond to Sakurajima Mai, but continued walking towards her.
"……Mother?"
Sakurajima Mai called out in slight shock.
...The pace still didn’t stop.
Long Yi, who saw this scene from a distance, couldn't help but frown.
Such a strong woman shouldn't be so uncultured and not talk back to others, especially when the person is her own daughter.
A bad premonition suddenly appeared.
He looked at Mai's mother, whose eyes were not fixed on Mai in front of her, but seemed to be searching for something.
There is no way she could turn a blind eye to her own daughter...
At this moment, Sakurajima Mai also woke up and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
Long Yi's expression darkened slightly, and he understood clearly in his heart.
Report wrong.
A bad situation has arisen...
…
25. If there was no such thing as your smile in this world,
The situation at this time was really unexpected.
Who would have thought that my mother, who could communicate through emails smoothly before, would suddenly become unable to observe her after arriving at the meeting?
Mai Sakurajima was having a hard time accepting it at this time.
She quickly walked around to her mother's side and waved her hand in front of her.
"Can't you see me!?"
The voice became much louder, and Mai's mood became obviously aroused.
Right……
Anyone would be excited about this situation.
That's her biological mother.
He had clearly remembered himself a moment ago and was about to prepare for a frank communication, but now such an accident occurred.
Mai couldn't accept it.
Unfortunately, her mother still kept walking.
This situation made the girl's hands hang down helplessly.
Her previous experience told her that no matter how hard she tried now, it would be in vain, and her mother would never see her again.
Even because her mother couldn't see Sakurajima Mai, she bumped into her shoulder, causing Sakurajima Mai to stumble.
Seeing that Sakurajima Mai was about to fall, Long Yi, who was twenty meters away just now, came in a flash and was at Sakurajima Mai's side in an instant, supporting the swaying girl.
Long Yi suddenly appeared from the side, so fast that her mother didn't notice it immediately. When she turned to look at Long Yi, she saw the young man who had appeared beside her at some point.
There was a flash of surprise in her eyes, and she seemed to be startled.
I remember that this boy seemed so far away before, but how could he be so close in the blink of an eye...
"Hello, my name is Long Yi."
Long Yi took advantage of the situation and took Mai Sakurajima's hand, protecting her behind him and looking directly at Mai's mother.
After reacting, the mother frowned slightly.
"So, it's you, right?"
Her eyes were mixed with displeasure, and she looked very similar to Mai. Her words made Long Yi's eyes narrow slightly.
"What do you mean ma'am?"
"What do you want me to do by calling me to a place like this? I don't know you. It looks like you are still in high school. Are you doing some silly prank? If so, I will call you family." I need to discipline you."
She stood there and spoke quickly, with obvious displeasure on her expression, and raised her wrist to glance at the time.
It can be seen that she is a person who cherishes time very much, maybe because she has too much work waiting for her to deal with.
"You seem to have misunderstood. It was Mai who called you out." Long Yi opened his mouth and explained the situation directly.
He could feel a little bit of sweat on the palm of Mai Sakurajima's hand that he was holding. It seemed that Mai was a little nervous, so Long Yi tightened Mai's hand slightly to signal not to worry.
The mother then looked at Long Yi with a critical eye.
"Can you tell me again who called me?"
"It's Mai."
Hearing this, the mother stretched out her hand to tidy up her hair that was blown by the sea breeze, and a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"...Who is Mai?"
At this moment, even Long Yi was slightly stunned.
He held Mai's hand, and Mai held it tightly in an instant!
Long Yi's face darkened slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
Damn it, the current situation seems to be more than just missing Sakurajima Mai, right?
"Mai Sakurajima, she is your daughter, don't you remember?"
"Stop joking, I don't have a daughter."
Mother frowned, showing an obvious look of impatience: "Your name is Long Yi, right? What on earth do you want to do by calling me out?"
Long Yi glanced at Mai Sakurajima beside him and could feel Mai's wavering.
At this time, Sakurajima Mai's expression was very stunned and helpless.
Long Yi's eyes darkened slightly and he said in a calm tone: "Where's the email asking you to come over here? You replied, so you should remember it."
"I'm also very curious about this."
Mother took out her mobile phone and showed it to Long Yi:
"The sender of the letter is unknown, but I marked it on my schedule, and I deliberately made time for it, but I don't remember anything important."
Glancing at the phone screen, the word [Ma Yi] written on the sender was particularly dazzling to Long Yi and Mai.
It's not like my mother is turning a blind eye or pretending not to recognize him.
She really doesn't remember Sakurajima Mai.
Even though she has raised Mai for more than ten years, Mai's name is still clearly written on the sender of the email.
Long Yi took a deep breath.
The current situation is almost clear.
He suddenly bowed slightly to his mother and apologized sincerely.
"I'm sorry. It seems I made a mistake. I'm sorry for wasting your time."
"Huh? Is that so..."
Mother couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Maybe it was an instinctive feeling that something was wrong.
"I'm leaving?"
"Okay, I'm really sorry."
"...No, it's okay."
With a puzzled expression, the mother slowly left.
"Long Yi..."
Sakurajima Mai called softly, Long Yi looked over and saw the worry in Sakurajima Mai's eyes.
She realized the situation was getting worse.
Long Yi's expression became much more solemn and he said softly:
"This shows that capabilities are still spreading, and we have made a mistake somewhere."
If her ability previously affected people's normal sight and senses, she just couldn't be seen, heard, or touched by people...
So from this moment on, the memory of Mai Sakurajima gradually disappears from the minds of those who know her well!
The uneasiness in Mai's eyes became even stronger.
Although people couldn't observe her in the past, the memory of her still existed, which was why she was still calm. But now it turns out that everyone has forgotten her.
Then wouldn't she become a living ghost?
No, maybe that's more terrifying than a ghost...
"Calm down, Mai. At least now I can still see you and remember you clearly."
Long Yi comforted him softly. Even if such a change happened, he was very calm at this time.
There can be no chaos at this time.
Long Yi's calmness infected Mai, and his presence was indeed a shot in the arm for Mai now.
"Walk."
He suddenly spoke out, holding Mai's hand and walking towards the top of the embankment.
"Where to go?"
