Anime Crossover: My Little Sister is Too Clingy

But she still dared not sleep, afraid that if she slept, no one would remember her, afraid that the world would change, and even more afraid that if she slept, the big boy in front of her would forget her.

Seeing the pork belly staring blankly at the clock, Lai couldn't help but call out, "Pork belly...?"

Mai Sakurajima snapped out of her daze, lowered her head in frustration, and remained silent.

Lai raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled by her current actions.

I was just feeling pretty happy, so why did I suddenly become depressed after glancing at the clock?

Could it be that clocks possess some unknown magic that makes people unconsciously feel depressed at night?

That shouldn't be the case. This clock is custom-made; there shouldn't be so many strange things going on.

Mai Sakurajima lowered her head in frustration, not saying a word.

Lai was afraid something might happen to her, so he stood quietly by her side to protect her, occasionally taking a sip of water while watching over her.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 12:40.

The two remained in their original positions, neither disturbing the other.

Just then, Mai Sakurajima, who had been looking down, took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

She looked up, her eyes sparkling, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

"Lai, can you sit with me for a while?"

Lai smiled and nodded, "I would be happy to."

As he spoke, he put down his water glass, sat on the sofa, and kept his distance from her.

As soon as he sat down, Mai Sakurajima asked a strange question.

"Lai, will you forget me?"

Lai frowned, turned to look at her, not understanding the meaning behind her words.

Was he afraid that he would forget her like everyone else? Or did he have some other intention or purpose?

It's not that he's overthinking things; the question simply contains profound implications.

"Lai, will you forget me?"

Mai Sakurajima asked again, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the frowning boy, a sweet smile playing on her lips.

P.S.: Please look closely, this is Mai Sakurajima, there are no colors!

Chapter 100 Keep Me Company

Looking into her star-like eyes, Lai promised, "I will never forget you, never!"

"For me, forgetting a friend is an unforgivable sin!"

Mai Sakurajima felt a warmth in her heart, and her smile became even more captivating from the bottom of her heart.

"You idiot!"

Her heart was warmed, and she couldn't help but scold him.

"Hey, hey, why are you swearing?" Lai teased with a laugh.

Sakurajima Mai tilted her head back and said with a gentle smile, "I'll just scold you!"

"Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot Lai!"

Lai raised his hand, as big as a sandbag, and joked, "If you curse again, believe me, you'll get a taste of my slap!"

Sakurajima Mai shrank back, stubbornly saying, "Go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

"You asked me to do it, so I'll do you a favor."

Lai raised his hand, indicating that he was going to slap her delicate face.

Mai Sakurajima was so frightened that she closed her eyes. Who would have thought that this bastard would actually hit her?

Lai raised his hand in the air, grinning as he looked at Sakurajima Mai, whose eyes were closed and whose body was trembling.

Seeing that she was successfully frightened, he put down his sandbag-sized hand with satisfaction, picked up his water glass and took a sip.

"Hey, it doesn't hurt? Why didn't you get an injection?"

Mai Sakurajima closed her eyes and raised an eyebrow. Seeing that her face was still not in pain, she asked in confusion.

Lai almost vomited up the water he had just drunk.

How much do you secretly want me to hit you, or do you have sadistic traits?

Thinking of this, Lai teased, "Pork belly, judging from your tone, you seem to be eager for me to hit you?"

"You don't have some kind of secret fetish, do you?"

Mai Sakurajima realized she had said the wrong thing, opened her eyes, and retorted, "Nonsense...nonsense! Who...who likes it!"

"And another thing, you're the one with the fetish. If you try to frame me again, I'll bite you to death, believe it or not!"

As he spoke, he opened his mouth in the darkness, revealing his clean, white teeth, and deliberately made a gritting sound to indicate that he really wanted to bite you.

Seeing that she looked fierce but innocent, Lai didn't say anything more. He just silently drank his water, glancing at her every now and then with a teasing look in his eyes.

Seeing the unusual look in his eyes, Mai Sakurajima immediately lost her guard and glared at him fiercely.

Lai pretended not to see anything, drank the water in her glass in one gulp, and said gently, "It's getting late, you should go to sleep."

After saying that, he put down his water glass and prepared to stand up and go upstairs.

Suddenly, a delicate hand grabbed his wrist, preventing him from leaving.

Lai looked down at Sakurajima Mai, who was holding his wrist, and asked in confusion, "Pork Belly, what are you doing?"

Mai Sakurajima lowered her head, her long, flowing hair obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her expression or guess what was on her mind.

He gripped it tightly with his right hand, seemingly unwilling to let go.

Lai raised an eyebrow, but didn't try to break free. He simply stared at her, wondering if she had something to say.

Mai Sakurajima was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Stay with me, okay?"

Lai's brows furrowed, and her tone sounded pleading.

Mai Sakurajima looked up, her dark blue eyes glistening with tears.

"Stay with me, I'm scared, I'm afraid to fall asleep, I'm afraid that if I fall asleep I'll be all alone in the world, I'm scared!"

"Waaaaah..."

After she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face as if they were free. She cried with a sense of bewilderment, weakness, and helplessness, a sight that evoked pity in me.

Lai sighed, thinking to himself, "I'm such an idiot, I forgot she's a high school student."

"It's no wonder that it's hard to accept such a strange thing happening at the prime of one's life."

Thinking that she was a girl who was strong on the outside but tough on the inside, Lai's heart softened. She sat back down on the sofa and reached out to wipe away the tears in her eyes.

Overwhelmed by his gentle treatment, Mai Sakurajima couldn't hold back the grievances she had suffered over the past few weeks and burst into tears, her tears falling incessantly.

Lai didn't offer any kind words of advice; sometimes it's better to cry than to hold it in.

......

After crying for ten or twenty minutes, Mai Sakurajima leaned on Rai's shoulder, hugged his arm tightly, and pressed her body close to his.

Lai picked up a tissue from the table and carefully wiped away her tears without saying a word.

Mai Sakurajima cooperated by closing her eyes and letting him wipe her face without saying a word, even when his hands touched her face.

After wiping it clean, Lai began to speak his first words.

"Sleep well, don't be afraid. Even if the whole world forgets Mai Sakurajima, I will never forget!"

These simple yet gentle words reached Mai Sakurajima's ears.

She opened her eyes, and a pair of eyes appeared in the darkness.

Bright, gentle, and profound, it seems to contain a vast array of stars, drawing you in at first glance.

Seeing those eyes, coupled with that promise, Mai Sakurajima's heart skipped a beat, pounding repeatedly.

When Lai saw that she was staring at him without moving, he smiled unintentionally, thinking that she was frightened by what he said.

His unintentional smile, coupled with his appearance that transcends his race, was captivating.

Sakurajima Mai's heart seemed to be gripped by something, making it impossible not to fall in love with her.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Lai touched her face in confusion, checking if it was wet with tears.

Mai Sakurajima snapped out of her reverie, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, and said softly, "No, I was just thinking about something, thinking about something."

Lai didn't doubt it and replied, "Have you thought it through?"

"If you haven't made up your mind, I can stay with you a little longer until you've thought it through, and then I'll go upstairs to sleep."

Mai Sakurajima felt a warmth in her heart from the first sentence, but the second sentence made her feel uncomfortable.

What, can't you spend a little more time with me?

I have both a great figure and a beautiful face!

The men who are pursuing me could line up from here to overseas, but they're not even as good as your broken bed.

You want to sleep upstairs? No way! You have to stay with me tonight, you can't go anywhere!

Thinking about this, an idea popped into her head.

Under Lai's gaze, she let go of his arm and sprawled out on the sofa without any regard for appearances.

Then it turned to its side, revealing a lonely and helpless silhouette.

Lai was also completely baffled by her actions.

Is she going to sleep here?

Lai reached out and touched her, asking in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you say you were thinking about something? Why are you sleeping here thinking about it?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Mai Sakurajima put on her years of acting skills and said sadly, "Go upstairs and go to sleep. Don't worry about me. I'm very grateful that you didn't mind me crying just now."

Lai noticed that her tone was different, carrying a hint of suicidal thoughts and sorrow.
