Crossover Anime/Manga - Not Everyday Life

Chapter 391 Mai Narumi's Dead Ex-Boyfriend

Friday arrived in the blink of an eye.

These past two days have been the beginning-of-month testing period; time has flown by.

After school, Natsumi didn't go home with Shiina Mahiru and the others, but went to the train station alone.

When the tram arrived at the station, Natsumi boarded, found an empty seat, and took out his phone to contact Mai Sakurajima.

Savior: [I have arrived.]

Mai-senpai: [I'll be waiting for you.]

Savior: [Okay.]

The tram departed and arrived at its destination a little over an hour later.

As Xia Sheng got off the train, he saw a beautiful and charming voice on the platform.

Her long hair was loose, and she stood quietly, like a beauty in a painting, seemingly out of place with her surroundings.

The people around her were also staring at her blankly, not blinking.

"Mai-senpai." Natsuki waved and walked towards the fairy in the painting.

"Natsuo."

When Mai Sakurajima saw Natsumi, she brushed her bangs aside and smiled slowly.

Her smile was mature and gentle.

Mai Sakurajima is probably the most mature girl Natsuo has ever met.

After all, she has experienced far more than others; she has been in society for a long time.

"Mai-senpai, I miss you so much."

When he arrived in front of Mai Sakurajima, Natsuo didn't stand on ceremony and hugged her directly.

"Yes, I missed you too." Mai Sakurajima hugged her back, her smile widening.

As expected, their actions drew the sound of cameras being taken around them.

This slightly dampened Xia Sheng's spirits.

"Is it okay?"

"No problem, but let's leave here first." Mai Sakurajima shook her head nonchalantly and pulled Natsumi away.

"Are you sure it's okay? I can handle it quietly."

"I'm not an idol, so there's no problem. Don't you want to be rumored to be dating me?" Mai Sakurajima asked with a smile.

"No way, I'd be overjoyed," Xia Sheng replied immediately.

His girlfriend is a big star, and their intimate moments are posted online, passively asserting his dominance. Xia Sheng is quite happy about this situation.

"That's settled then?" Mai Sakurajima smiled slightly.

"As long as it doesn't affect you."

The two held hands and left the station, walking towards the town.

This is a small town far from the city, and Mai Sakurajima is here, naturally, to film a movie.

Her first project after returning to the entertainment industry was a movie.

This was carefully selected by her; it's a female-centric story with a little dog as her partner, and there's no opposite-sex couple.

There was nothing she could do; she had agreed to Xia Sheng's little request.

In fact, there are many dramas that don't focus on romance or involve couples, and there's no shortage of scripts with this theme. Given Mai Sakurajima's fame, she has received many invitations to participate.

She has now also announced her participation conditions.

There's no problem at all; it's for her boyfriend, so it's perfectly reasonable.

Directors who have worked with her only find her adorable, given her undeniable acting skills.

If a person is good enough, then some minor conditions become insignificant.

The town was bustling with people; after all, a film crew was shooting there, and everyone wanted to join in the fun, hoping to become a passerby.

Mai Sakurajima was already a household name here, so when she walked with Natsuo, holding hands, it naturally attracted everyone's attention.

They looked around, curious, and amazed.

Xia Sheng sensed this from the gazes of those around him.

I don't know about his situation at school, but with his looks, he's definitely a perfect match for Mai Sakurajima.

Handsome men and beautiful women are always the best.

"Ms. Sakurajima, is this your boyfriend?"

"He's so handsome!"

"You have excellent taste!"

"You two are such a perfect match!"

"Thank you." Mai Sakurajima smiled and thanked those around her softly, without any shyness.

Xia Sheng nodded in agreement, his smile friendly. These people were so kind and simple, and their voices were so pleasant to hear; he liked them very much.

The two walked along and soon arrived at the film set.

"Miss Yi Dian, you're back! Get ready." A staff member immediately greeted her.

"it is good."

Mai Sakurajima nodded in response, then looked at Natsuo: "I still have scenes to film today, wait for me a moment."

"Can I watch from the side?" Xia Sheng asked, intrigued.

He wanted to see Mai Sakurajima filming; it must be very captivating.

"Okay, I'll let the staff know." Mai Sakurajima nodded.

"come on!"

"Don't let me be your charmer."

"I've been captivated for a long time."

"Heh~" Sakurajima Mai smiled contentedly and went to put on makeup.

A moment later, a female staff member came over and led Xia Sheng to the director's side.

She's a female director.

"Who is he?" The female director asked, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Xia Sheng, puzzled.

What a handsome young man!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he's the son of a god, would it?

What kind of role requires such a handsome young man?

"Director, this is Mr. Natsuo, Ms. Mai's boyfriend."

"You're Mai's boyfriend?" the female director asked in surprise.

"Hello, director."

"Wow, he's so handsome! Mai has such great taste!"

"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Sheng smiled slightly.

Why do the people here all speak so pleasantly?

I'm starting to like this place; I'll come here often in the future.

"You're here to visit Mai, right?" The female director started chatting with Natsumi.

"Yeah, I've missed her after a few days," Xia Sheng replied honestly.

He really missed Mai Sakurajima after not seeing her for a few days.

"Mai misses you too. She was feeling down last week, and she even took the day off today to pick you up." The female director smiled.

"I see."

"Speaking of which, you probably haven't seen Mai act before, have you?" the female director suddenly asked.

No.

"Then you'd better take a good look later, it will definitely amaze you."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Not long after, Mai Sakurajima came out dressed in a brown detective outfit with a cool shawl.

The movie she made is about detective work, and she plays a female detective who wants to find out the truth in order to avenge her deceased ex-boyfriend.

That sounds pretty good.

Mai Sakurajima entered the frame, nodded to Natsuo, and then got into character.

In an instant, her demeanor changed, as if she were truly a detective.

Xia Sheng was immediately drawn to her and watched her intently as she filmed.

It felt like a long time had passed, yet also like a short time. After the scene ended, Mai Sakurajima walked over, and Natsuo finally realized what had happened.

"How is it?" Mai Sakurajima asked with a smile.

"That's amazing!" Xia Sheng praised without reservation.

"Mai-senpai, how can you be so charming? Your acting was amazing just now."

"Do you like me more now?"

"It's always been my favorite."

"Hmph~" Sakurajima Mai hummed contentedly.

"Hehe~ You two young people, can you please stop showing off your love in front of me? I'm getting jealous." The female director joked with a laugh.

"Um... Director Miyamoto, I'm sorry." Mai Sakurajima apologized shyly.

"Haha~ Just kidding, it's rare to see Mai like this."

"Hmm..."

'

"By the way, Xia Sheng, I just thought of something and wanted to ask you for a favor. I wonder if you would be willing."

"Director, you go first."

"I want you to play Mai's ex-boyfriend, a real ex-boyfriend," the female director said.

"Hmm?" Xia Sheng looked at her in confusion.

"Well, this character wasn't originally supposed to have any scenes; she was basically just background noise. But after seeing you just now, I suddenly felt that she needed some screen time."

Why?

"Actually, I've been wondering why the female lead was willing to risk everything and go into danger for her ex-boyfriend? Was it because she liked him?"

"Because of love? But the female lead is so young, how could she have such a passionate love? Even if her ex-boyfriend died for her, it makes sense because he's your ex-boyfriend." The female director laughed.

"Me?" Xia Sheng looked at her, puzzled.

"Because you're good-looking enough. With an ex-boyfriend as handsome as you, what girl wouldn't do anything to get revenge?"

"What do you think?"

"Well..." Natsuo looked at Mai Sakurajima, wanting to get her opinion, but found that her eyes were bright and full of expectation.

It seems there's no need to hesitate any longer.

"Okay, I agree."
