Aoyama Nanami

"..."

["Why were you silent all of a sudden?"] Utaha asked.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about a question. I'm not destined to have a woman. Doesn't Kasumigaoka-san consider herself a girl?"

He was not afraid of oblique shadows. No, he hasn't done bad things, he's not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door! He and Yukino met by chance when they were shopping for clothes. If this can be considered a case of "betrayal" or "affair", then Wu Shen is also very desperate.

What's more, he and Kasumigaoka Utaha aren't at that level yet. Now it can only be considered a good relationship.

"By the way, you just asked me why I didn't answer the phone. I actually took Mai-chan shopping for clothes in the morning. It was really noisy in here, so I didn't hear the call."

["That's it. Mai-chan is the little girl who came to class to meet you that day. The relative who's staying at her house, right?]

["Can you let me hear her voice?"] Utaha asked this question, not knowing whether she wanted to prove whether Wu Shen was lying or simply wanted to hear Mai's voice.

"Mai-chan, come and say a few words to Kasumigaoka-san." Wu Shen was too embarrassed to refuse, so he placed the phone in front of Mai.

To prevent Mai from leaking any news, he deliberately gestured at her with his eyes. As for the plan to cover the phone and verbally remind Mai not to expose her secrets, it was actually impossible to implement.

Even if he covers the speaker with his hand, Wu Shen's voice can still be heard on the other side.

Upon hearing the word "Kasumigaoka-san", Mai, who was lying in bed bored after being tired, suddenly became energetic, jumped out of bed and flew in front of Wu Shen.

"Mother!" Mai was so happy that she didn't notice Wu Shen's gaze and habitually blurted out without thinking about it.

I knew something was going to happen! Wu Shen covered his face and raised his forehead.

["...Mother, mother?"] Utaha was stunned for a moment, then stumbled upon a question with a questioning tone.

"Oh!" Mai heard the voice on the phone and immediately realized she had spilled the beans. She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Wu Shen with pity.

Why am I always the one who gets hurt and why am I always the one who cleans up the mess? Sadness, sadness, just like a river of spring water flowing to the east! The sad lyrics and melody began to echo in Wu Shen's mind.

"Mai-chan was playing house, Kasumigaoka-san, don't pay too much attention. I'll ask her to apologize." Wu Shen quickly hid.

["It's okay. Children are naturally naughty. No matter what, I can't be serious with Mai-chan."]

"Kasumigaoka-san, it's better if you can understand. By the way, why did you call me today? Did something happen?" Wu Shen immediately changed the subject to prevent Utaha from further investigating the matter.

["I just finished drafting two or three chapters of the novel this morning. If you have time, I would like you to help me analyze the flaws this afternoon and tell me what you think as a reader."] Utaha's tone seemed a little hesitant.

"No problem, but I have something to do this afternoon and I need to go to work. How about 9 o'clock tomorrow morning?" Wu Shen originally wanted to agree immediately, but remembered that he would have to apply for a job later, so he changed his words.

["Okay, shall we meet at that same coffee shop?"]

"Well, let's go. I know the way after going there once." Wu Shen nodded.

["By the way, it's lonely leaving Mai-chan alone at home. Bring her with you, I want to meet her."] Wu Shen was already planning to say goodbye and hang up the phone, but Utaha came unexpectedly. Wu Shen was taken aback.

Isn't that too impatient? Wu Shen wasn't mentally prepared yet, so why did Utaha want to see Mai?

However, in order not to expose any flaws, Wu Shen could only agree: "Okay, that's it, see you tomorrow."

["See you tomorrow."] Utaha said goodbye and hung up the phone.

"Yes! Of course, mommy loves me more!" Mai jumped when she touched the elasticity of the bed.

"Be careful not to collapse the bed. This cheap product is not very strong. If it breaks, it will cost a lot of money." Wu Shen felt a bit of a headache.

After wandering around the room for a while, Wu Shen began to give many instructions to Mai, "We're going to see Kasumigaoka-san tomorrow, remember not to miss anything!"

"Understood!" Mai learned the previous lesson, and agreed immediately.

After arranging a time and place to meet tomorrow to resolve Utaha's matter, and seeing that it was time for him to leave, Wu Shen got ready and went to the supermarket.

The supermarket is located between Wu Shen's apartment and the school, so it's not very far. After about ten minutes of walking, Wu Shen arrived at the registration location.

"Welcome… ah, you're here to apply for a job, right?" The supermarket receptionist and cashier is still the girl with the brown and red ponytail he saw last time.

Wu Shen greeted her and was taken to the office at the back of the supermarket. The supermarket manager is a middle-aged woman who seems very intelligent and capable. She manages most aspects of the supermarket, including recruiting and interviewing new employees.

The interview process was as smooth as the girl said. After reviewing Wu Shen's various procedures and work permit and knowing that he was an international student, the interviewer exchanged a few words with him. Wu Shen, who was proficient in speaking English, passed without any problems, and then came the hourly wages, working hours and signing the contract.

After completing all of this, Wu Shen was given a set of supermarket cashier work clothes to wear, and Wu Shen successfully got the occasional cashier job as a part-time worker.

Looking at the work schedule, Wu Shen noticed that he seemed to be assigned to the same group as the girls at the same time. They worked afternoons on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and during this time, two people change shifts.

"We are truly destined." In fact, we are at the same workstation. There were no customers at that time, and the girl seemed to be responsible for organizing the items on the shelves part-time.

"Yes." Wu Shen's first impression of this girl was not bad, and he nodded in response.

"My name is Aoyama Nanami. The person in charge just said, let me teach you a series of cashier operations, ATM, code scanner, etc."

"My name is Wu Shen, please give me some advice. I really need you to teach me the basic operations. Sorry to bother you." Wu Shen responded with the same courtesy.

"It doesn't matter. I will receive some extra hourly wages for this portion of my time teaching new employees. Don't worry too much." Aoyama Nanami smiled, giving people a very simple and beautiful feeling.

What an honest girl. Wu Shen sighed in his heart. No wonder Aoyama Nanami gives people a sense of peace and closeness.
