Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected.
Erika Ikuta's mobile phone rang, and the number displayed on it was Mai Shiraishi.
Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then she became panicked.
"What's wrong?" Nishino Kazuki saw something wrong with her expression and asked quickly.
"It looks like Mai." Erika Ikuta said, paused, and thought about it again.
No, why should I be so scared? I haven’t done anything harmful to God or anything right now? I just want to celebrate my birthday with Mr. Kazuki.
Besides, Maiyan doesn't know about this, so why should I look guilty? Even if she comes to my house now, I should have a clear conscience.
With this thought in mind, Erika Ikuta pressed the answer button on her phone.
"Hey, Moshi Moshi~ How about Mai?" Erika Ikuta's tone was the same as usual.
Nishino Kazuki listened on the sidelines.
"Ikuta-chan, where are you?" Mai Shiraishi's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone, "It's raining heavily outside. You walked alone today, so I'm a little worried about you."
So that's it, Erika Ikuta breathed a sigh of relief.
After entering the door from Nishino Kazuki, the rain suddenly poured down outside, and the sound of wind and rain could be heard inside.
"It's okay, Mai. I've made it home successfully. Thank you for your concern." Erika Ikuta still felt warm in her heart at this moment. My dear sister, I really care about you.
"Now that you're home, prepare to open the door for me. I was too worried about you just now, so I took a taxi to your house. I'll be there soon." What Shiraishi Mai said reached Erika Ikuta's ears, leaving the latter in a daze.
This... what kind of trick is this?
It's too deep.
"What's wrong, Ikuta-chan?" Mai Shiraishi's voice continued, and now Erika Ikuta felt that the other party was simply a terrifying devil.
"No...it's okay. In fact, I have to go out soon. It doesn't matter if you don't come, Mai."
"It's a good time to go out. I'll be there in 2 minutes. Let's go with you."
Erika Ikuta was so restrained that her little brain couldn't think of any reason, and she was almost going crazy.
Mai Shiraishi laughed secretly in the taxi on the other side of the phone. She knew that Erika Ikuta was going to celebrate her birthday with Kazuki Nishino, but somehow she had a strange feeling in her heart, and then she came up with this idea, so she came up with it.
This comes out with action and phone calls.
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want Erika Ikuta to be alone with a young man?
If Matsumura Sayuri had seen it, he would have said that Shiraishi Mai was clearly jealous and unwilling to accept it. Couldn't the arrogant guy admit it earlier?
What's the point in using other excuses to deceive yourself?
But that's how people are. When they meet other people with emotional problems, they talk about the same thing. When they have problems themselves, they just want to find a rope to put them around.
After all, bystanders know better than the authorities.
Erika Ikuta covered the receiver with her hand, blinked at Nishino Kazuki, and said anxiously: "Teacher Kazuki, what should I do if Mai is coming here?"
"Come on then, we're not doing anything illegal." Nishino Kazuki seemed very calm. He was just celebrating his birthday, as if he was trying to catch someone.
"Oh." Erika Ikuta nodded, then let go of her hand.
"Okay, Mai, come on, but there are people here." Erika Ikuta also said it directly, but to her surprise, Mai Shiraishi didn't ask.
"I know, I'll ring the doorbell later."
Then the phone hung up.
This is wrong, Erika Ikuta thought about it in her little brain for a long time.
Did Mai know that Mr. Kazuki was here? Otherwise, she would still be so calm even when she said there was someone else around.
There must be something wrong with this. When was he exposed?
A few minutes later, the doorbell of Ikuta's house rang. She trotted to the door, looked through the peephole and saw that it was indeed Shiraishi Mai, and then opened the door.
Mai Shiraishi was holding a white umbrella, wearing a thick black velvet coat, a mask, and a scarf wrapped around her neck.
"Ikuta-chan, good evening." Mai Shiraishi put the umbrella in the umbrella release tool outside the door, and then said hello to Erika Ikuta.
"Good evening..." Erika Ikuta's tone was dry, then she thought about it and said, "Mai-chan, come in quickly."
After entering, Shiraishi Mai saw a pair of boys' shoes at the entrance and thought that it was just as she expected.
Nishino Kazuki was sitting on the sofa when he saw Shiraishi Mai coming in and said hello: "yo~"
Shiraishi Mai smiled: "So Nishino-san is here. I just said that Iku-chan is particularly energetic today. It turns out I am celebrating your birthday."
She told the truth directly, and she was in a disadvantageous position by trying to make excuses.
"You know it's my birthday, why don't you give me a gift?" Nishino Kazuki joked.
Mai Shiraishi glanced at him: "No."
In fact, she had just thought about whether to buy it, but when she thought about it, if she really bought it, it would confirm that she came here just for Nishino Kazuki.
"Stingy." Nishino Kazuki continued to sit on the sofa.
Erika Ikuta watched the two of them talking, and it seemed that the two of them had a very good relationship. She also remembered that Mr. Kazuki had talked about a TV series role specifically for Mai, and she felt a little sour for a moment.
I ate a lemon just after finishing the cake.
Today is obviously my home court, why does someone come to disturb it again?
"Mai, have you had dinner?"
"have eaten."
"All right."
Nishino Kazuki also noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, but fortunately, the sound of lightning outside broke the tranquility.
Erika Ikuta looked outside from the window. It seemed that the rain was unusually heavy. It was already November, and it seemed like it was summer when a typhoon was coming.
After the three of them sat down, they turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast.
"By the way, we still have the birthday cake, Mai, do you want to eat it?" Erika Ikuta thought of the cake she had just finished, and asked.
"Okay...thank you." Mai Shiraishi's dinner today was a bento delivered in the lounge. Because it was not tasty, she was not actually full.
Nishino Kazuki looked at the TV with interest, but he always felt that today's celebration was a bit anticlimactic.
After eating the cake, the three of them chatted about some interesting topics. Nishino and Shushang were used to variety shows, and many interesting topics came to them easily. The two girls were also teased by him and laughed again and again, and the atmosphere was restored.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the rain stopped, and several people's mobile phones received messages that there was a strong wind warning and heavy rain tonight, the subway had been suspended, and taxis were nowhere to be seen.
"How about... you guys stay here?" Erika Ikuta asked.
"Shiraishi is suitable, am I a bit...?" Nishino Kazuki said.
"Is it okay? If Mai is here, anything can be done." Erika Ikuta said with a smile.
I think it’s you who have been taken care of, Nishino Kazuki secretly complained in his heart.
"Then I'll sleep in the living room, and you two will sleep in the bedroom."
"if not?"
"How about I hug you and sleep?" Xiye said to Shupi.
