Chapter 19

"Since we made a mistake, it means that we still haven't found the original source of your ability. Let's continue looking for it now."

Long Yi said calmly, but Mai Sakurajima seemed a little silent.

After walking a few steps and finding that the girl didn't reply, Long Yi paused and turned back to look at Mai Sakurajima.

Although the girl didn't speak, her lowered head showed that she seemed a little depressed.

"Mai?"

"... Let's stop here today. I'll go back first."

The tone seemed to have regained calmness, without the previous uneasiness and hesitation.

As she said that, Mai gently pushed Long Yi's hand away and walked forward silently.

Looking at the girl's back leaving alone, Long Yi secretly sighed. At this time, how could he feel at ease to leave her alone?

He walked forward quickly and easily caught up with Mai Sakurajima.

Long Yi reached out and hugged the girl from behind, whispering:

"Don't give up too early. If there is no smile in this world, wouldn't it be much more boring..."

Mai's body also trembled suddenly at this moment...

...

26, I like holding your hand

Although Mai acted very calm, Long Yi could not help but feel her helplessness and despair.

If even Long Yi gave up, she would really disappear from this world completely.

"It's useless, don't worry about me anymore..."

The girl held in Long Yi's arms spoke slowly, but there was a little crying in her voice.

Even her biological mother was affected and forgot about her. This incident was a huge blow to her.

At this moment, barely maintaining not crying was already a manifestation of the girl's extreme strength.

"Maybe there may be someone else who remembers you somewhere else."

"It's as if everyone except Long Yi has forgotten me."

Mai laughed dryly, and the smile seemed very forced.

It is undeniable that the current state makes people have to think so.

Even Mai Sakurajima herself thought so, so she said such words.

Long Yi was silent. He knew that he could see Mai Sakurajima because he was now a demon.

He was also thinking that he might go to Lias and others who were also demons. Maybe there would be some way.

But in this case, the contract he needed would be ruined.

But if it really came to that, he couldn't care so much. After all, he couldn't just watch Mai Sakurajima disappear.

Compared with that, the contract was a trivial matter.

"How about going to confirm it first?" Long Yi didn't know how to comfort Mai Sakurajima.

"What's the point of confirming it? If I confirm that no one except you, Long Yi, remembers me, what can I do..."

Mai Sakurajima was a little depressed.

"It does sound useless, but in this way, I can still be with you." Long Yi smiled and said softly.

"......?"

"To be precise, I need this reason to stay with you, isn't it okay?"

Long Yi said this to the girl peacefully.

"......It's okay..."

"And this is the date you invited me to, isn't it?" Long Yi then added another reason.

"It's the date you wanted, right? And you're not here to sign a contract, Mr. Devil."

Mai Sakurajima seemed to be finding reasons to persuade herself.

Long Yi smiled: "The reason for signing the contract, although you can also say that."

"If that's the reason, I won't agree to you."

"Because I want to stay with you, Mai."

Long Yi smiled and continued:

"And at this time, you can only rely on me, I just need to work a little harder, I can win your heart, I don't want to miss such an opportunity."

Unexpectedly too straightforward words.

Mai Sakurajima was slightly stunned.

She then said stubbornly:

"I won't be taken down so easily by you."

"...I think I have a good chance?"

"You are taking advantage of someone's misfortune. You are worthy of being called Mr. Devil."

"Thank you for the compliment." The young man smiled.

Long Yi hugged Sakurajima Mai's body and could feel that she had stopped trembling in his arms.

"No way..." The girl muttered slowly.

"Hmm?"

"If you don't want me to go back, it's not impossible to continue dating you..."

She said this proudly with her head down.

Long Yi smiled and nodded, let go of the girl in his arms, took a step forward and looked at Sakurajima Mai's beautiful face, and whispered: "It's still early, let's go to a farther place to have a look."

...

The time came to 7:30 in the evening.

Qianxun ろ1二八⒈㈣①Э9

The location is a city nearly 60 kilometers south of Xindu.

Long Yi took Mai and walked a long way in the car.

Along the way, he would ask passers-by around him. Passers-by who used to not see Sakurajima Mai had now all forgotten her existence.

From beginning to end, Mai looked at those people expressionlessly;

She seemed to have put all her emotions into her heart, whether it was sadness, fear, or expectation, they all disappeared, and only the dullness remained.

Returning disappointed again, Long Yi could only shake his head gently at Sakurajima Mai.

"It's better not to have any hope." Sakurajima Mai whispered.

Long Yi was speechless: "Why are you the one who persuades me instead."

"Long Yi is the one, why haven't you given up even now..." Mai asked in a calm tone.

"...This feeling is as if you have played a game and charged up 648, but still haven't drawn the character you want. But if you miss that character, you will never get it again. Will you give up easily?"

"Is that so? I'm really sorry to disappoint you."

"Although it's not entirely due to sunk costs."

Long Yi shrugged: "After all, a cute girl like Mai needs help, so I will definitely get it. Don't underestimate men with normal aesthetics."

"...This is the first time I've seen someone express an uprising so elegantly." Mai couldn't help complaining.

Long Yi didn't care about Mai's complaints and just naturally held Mai's hand.

"I didn't allow you to hold her." Mai said calmly.

Long Yi was not pretentious at all and said bluntly: "Please allow me to hold your hand, Queen Mai."

"reason?"

"I like the feeling of holding your hand."

Sakurajima Mai: "..."

She turned her head and looked away.

"...It won't happen again."

Suddenly he said this.

"Huh?" Long Yi smiled and said, "This is really disappointing. Can I find an excuse next time?"

"Then it depends on what your reason is next time."

Mai answered, and you could hear a little shyness in her tone, but also some joy and happiness.

Holding Sakurajima Mai's hand and walking slowly, we came to this unfamiliar place. In fact, we could still see the advertisement shot by Sakurajima Mai on the advertising space, but no one around us could see it.

Long Yi was troubled. Now it was not just a matter of him signing the contract, but that he sincerely wanted to help Sakurajima Mai get out of this predicament.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to stay first." Mai Sakurajima suddenly reminded her at this time, and whispered softly: "I want to take a bath..."

Long Yi glanced at the time and nodded. He looked around and soon found a hotel in front of him.

He held the girl's hand and walked in. Fortunately, Mai couldn't be seen by others. Otherwise, if he led a big star into the hotel like this, the news headlines would have exploded tomorrow...

The girl at the front desk stared at Long Yi for a few times. The boy was very handsome, but he still looked like a high school student. Why did he come to the hotel alone to book a room at this time, empty-handed?

Although he was confused, there was nothing to doubt, and soon Long Yi opened the room smoothly.

It's a single room...

He originally wanted to ask if there was a double room, but the girl at the front desk immediately opened a single room. Mai didn't say anything and walked directly towards the elevator. Long Yi didn't ask any more questions.

When I opened the door and took a look, I found that the room was a bit too small. There was only a bed, table, chairs and sofa inside, and at most it was paired with a dressing table.

Mai Sakurajima didn't care about this, she went in and sat on the bed, took off her shoes and fell on the bed.

I am indeed a little tired today.

…

27. It was the first time someone warmed my bed.

Seeing that the bed was occupied by Mai, Long Yi walked to the single sofa and sat down.

Here Sakurajima Mai sat up again and stretched out her hand to rub her ankle.

Long Yi stared straight at the girl's beautiful legs in stockings.

"What are you staring at me for..."

"Looking at the beautiful lady and her beautiful legs."

To be blunt…

Sakurajima Mai was speechless: "So you are such a hard worker."

"Please forgive me for having a room with a beautiful girl for the first time in my life." Long Yi shrugged.
