I'll give my daughter one more second.

Chapter 997 Do you want a daughter?

"If possible, I hope we can still be friends..."

After a long silence, Miura finally managed to squeeze out a seemingly plausible but ultimately ambiguous statement.

"Why use such hesitant words?" Yui murmured softly, her head down.

She longed for a positive answer from Miura to gain a sense of security, but Miura was probably even more confused about the current situation than Yui.

"I'm sorry, but I've never considered myself a noble saint. When I saw Kasumigaoka and Wu Shen together, I was insanely jealous. Looking back now, I was truly pathetic. I'm sure Wu Shen must have hated me back then too, right?"

Miura recalled some unpleasant memories, and his face immediately darkened.

"But I know that this is my nature, my true self. Although I hate this jealous side of myself, I can't control myself from having this desire for jealousy."

"Heh, what nonsense am I spouting? Yui, you must hate me too, right?" Miura said with self-loathing.

Miura shook his head, and just as she was about to continue walking forward, Yui suddenly turned around and grabbed Miura's hands.

"No! Yumiko! That's absolutely not true! I would never hate my friend! In fact, if Yuki hadn't transferred schools, what I did might have been even more despicable than Yumiko's."

"Yui..."

Yui tilted her head, seemingly struggling with something, but she quickly showed an expression of making a decision.

"Yes, Yumiko, I've made up my mind. No matter who Wu Shen chooses in the end, we'll always be best friends!"

“You are indeed much better than me.” Miura turned to the side, a faint bitter smile on his face.

If Wu Shen chooses me, Yui might be strong enough not to feel jealous and remain my best friend. But if Wu Shen chooses Yui, can I really refrain from any negative emotions and continue to view Wu Shen and Yui's relationship as before?

Despite his inner hesitation and confusion, seeing Yui's resolute eyes, Miura couldn't bear to say no and finally nodded.

What are they doing? I think they shouldn't even bother confessing. Since their relationship is so good, they should just become a lesbian couple. Wu Shen complained.

In fact, you don't need to worry about whether you can still be friends, because you're about to become sisters.

“Dad is really guilty.” Floating in mid-air, Mi-ling shrugged her little shoulders.

"Don't talk like that when you're not in the situation."

“I’m speaking as if I’m floating, Dad.”

To emphasize that she was floating, Wei Ling gracefully performed a 360-degree spin in mid-air.

"Dad, look, Yui-neechan and Yumiko-neechan are so conflicted and in pain. Dad will help them make up in a little while."

"Well... there's no other choice anyway, so we'll just have to leave it at that for now."

"Although Dad said that, he must be secretly happy inside, whistle whistle~~" Wei Ling whistled.

"You're clearly Sanae's daughter, why are you so naughty?" Wu Shen covered his face and rubbed his forehead.

“Okay, Dad, don’t worry about the details. The thing we need to do now is for Dad to jump from the roof to the rooftop and wait for Yui and the others to come in, instead of hiding here.”

The entrance to the rooftop is a small room protruding from the roof. Wu Shen is hiding on the roof of the room, so even if Yui and the others come to the rooftop, they can only see Sanae and not Wu Shen hiding on the roof.

"Stop nagging! Time is so tight, at least give me some time to prepare. I'll stay here for a little while, and go downstairs after I've prepared my explanation!"

While listening to the conversation between Yui and the others downstairs, Wu Shen racked his brains trying to figure out what to do next.

The atmosphere between Yui and Miura had become much more relaxed after their conversation.

"By the way, Yumiko, who do you think Wu Shen might choose among us?" Yui clasped her hands together, and the two of them stood guard at the entrance to the rooftop, passing the time before Wu Shen arrived by talking.

"To be honest, I actually think Yui is more likely," Miura said with a hint of self-deprecation.

"Huh? Why?" Yui seemed quite surprised for some reason.

"Reason? Maybe it's a woman's intuition. If I had to say, how could someone with such a terrible personality like me possibly be likable?" Miura leaned against the wall, looking like he had come to terms with it.

In fact, from the very beginning, she was already prepared to lose to Yui.

"On the contrary, Yui, you have a gentle personality, are understanding, and beautiful, oh... and your... thing is quite big too..."

"Yumiko, what are you saying?!" Yui blushed instantly and reached out to cover her face.

"Men all like big breasts, and Wu Shen is a man too, how could he not like them? Unless he's a perverted lolicon."

Miura concluded that one of the main reasons he failed last time was his personality, and another major reason was that he wasn't as alluring as Utaha.

"That's not necessarily true. Even so, I still lost to Xiaoxue last time. This is definitely not the deciding factor." Yui's fingers were pressed tightly together, pulling and closing them repeatedly.

"Dad, are you into big breasts or small breasts?" Wei Ling floated over and asked with a mischievous smile.

"Hmph, childish. Of course I am..."

"You want them all, right?" Wei Ling squinted her small eyes, as if she had already seen through everything.

"Ahem, Wei Ling, you can't just say things like that."

While Wei Ling and Wu Shen were chatting, Yui scratched her head and said, "Yumiko said I'm more likely to win, but actually I think Yumiko has a higher chance of winning."

"Yui, you don't really need to consider my feelings when you speak," Miura said with a smile.

"No, that's not it." Yui shook her head and said very seriously, "I'm serious. I really think Wu Shen has a higher chance of choosing you, Yumiko."

"Why?" Miura looked at Yui with considerable confusion.

In fact, Miura had no idea what advantages he had over Yui.

Yui not only has a good personality and large breasts, but she also had prior contact with Wu Shen. She herself had just offended Wu Shen before her memories returned, and that behavior could easily provoke his displeasure.

Therefore, Miura was prepared to lose from the very beginning. For her, the biggest surprise would be if Wu Shen actually chose her.

"Actually, in the last future, I was always envious of how you two could tease each other so freely and naturally," Yui said with a hint of envy.

In fact, after Yui gained her memories of the future in reality, she always had a vague feeling that her relationship with Wu Shen was very awkward.

Although they were good friends, they didn't actually meet and chat very often. Many times, they would even pass each other by. Only when she took the initiative to greet him would Wu Shen respond politely.

There is an invisible barrier between Wu Shen and Yui.

Before gaining her future memories, Yui knew how popular Wu Shen was and subconsciously kept her distance from him. Wu Shen, on the other hand, was afraid of having a few more daughters, so he deliberately kept a certain distance from Yui and other familiar girls.

The two of them tacitly compromised, and as a result, their relationship became extremely distant.

Yui even realized that her few interactions with Wu Shen were all through Yumiko as an intermediary, which allowed her to develop a weak relationship with him.

The two first spoke during their duty shift because of Yumiko.

The occasional conversations they had outside were because they had unexpectedly run into Wu Shen while shopping with Yumiko, and Yumiko insisted on confronting him.

She went to the Service Department to request a service, and ended up meeting Wu Shen again. It was because Yumiko and Wu Shen had a conflict that she pretended to be Wu Shen's girlfriend.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for Yumiko's presence, which allowed her and Wu Shen to gradually become acquainted, they would probably still be strangers in the same class who didn't know each other and had never spoken to each other.

So Yui stood behind Yumiko the whole time, watching her charge at Wu Shen time and time again.

Despite their playful banter, their relationship is rapidly deepening. Yui believes that even without the influence of future memories, Yumiko will likely fall completely for him someday, triggered by a certain event.

So Yui, who always hid in the background, always admired Yuki, who spoke her mind, and also envied Yumiko, who dared to speak her mind.

"That's why I've always admired and longed for someone like Yuuko," Yui said.

Is this considered mutual flattery? A strange thought suddenly popped into Wu Shen's mind as he hid on the roof.

“Alright, Yui. There’s no point in continuing this discussion. Didn’t we already say we’d leave the choice to Wu Shen? Let him worry about everything. Let’s go up to the rooftop and wait. If we stay here, Wu Shen might hear us when he comes up,” Miura reminded her.

"Eh? Will Wu Shen hear what we just said, so embarrassing?!" Yui's face flushed red, and she panicked.

That's right. In fact, I heard everything. I'm almost embarrassed to admit it. Wu Shen thought to himself.

"Don't get excited, I just said it's possible. So let's go up to the rooftop first."

"Yes, yes. Let's go to the rooftop first!" Yui nodded vigorously and was the first to step forward and open the rooftop door.

Yui and Miura entered the rooftop one after the other, looked around, and were about to continue talking when they suddenly froze.

Because they discovered a person standing not far from the door on the rooftop. This person was not Wu Shen, who was still hiding on the roof, but the new transfer student, Sanae!

"Strange, isn't this Dongfeng Valley? Why is she on the rooftop?" Yui asked in a puzzled tone, leaning close to Miura's ear.

"Hmph, we were right before. This guy is probably one of the losers who traveled back from the future. I wonder how he found out about today's events; he might be here to cause trouble!" Miura looked at Sanae warily.

If even losers are divided into factions, then Miura and Yui are in one group, and Sanae, who is not in that group, is naturally a major enemy.

Despite being watched with suspicion, Sanae remained completely calm.

Unlike before, I now have a daughter. With a dragon charging right at my face, how can I possibly lose?

"Dongfeng Valley, I'll just get straight to the point. Are you also a loser from the future?"

Yui tried to stop him, but Miura had already stepped forward to ask.

At this crucial moment of decisive battle, there is no point in continuing to hide.

"Mm." Sanae didn't say much, just nodded in affirmation.

"As expected..." Seeing the other party nod in agreement, Yui revealed a knowing expression.

"You see us, and you don't seem to be confused at all?" Yui asked, puzzled.

Yui and Miura thought they had hidden themselves fairly well, so why did Sanae seem to know about them all along when she saw them?

"In fact, I already knew exactly who the five people were."

The Unheard Space was created by his daughter back then. Now he's like he has a cheat code for seeing through things. It's easy for him to find out who the five people are.

All of you were brought in by my daughter, how could I not know your true identities? If it weren't for Yun Ying's interference, Wei Ling could have claimed to have administrative authority over this world without any problem.

Who are the other two people?

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous. One of them has already made the first move, and the second doesn't seem to be competing at all."

"You don't want to talk about it? Fine, I'll ask another question. Did you come to the rooftop at this hour to disrupt our plans?"

Miura mistakenly thought that Sanae was just making up an excuse to avoid revealing the other two people, so he changed the subject and asked the most crucial question.

"Disrupt the plan? You've misunderstood. The reason I'm here is because I confessed to Wu Shen today and asked him to come to the rooftop after school to give me his answer." Sanae smiled slightly.

"What!? You're confessing today too?" Yui and Miura exclaimed in unison, both shocked.

"Yeah, are you guys like that too? What a coincidence. No wonder Wu Shen's expression was so strange when I confessed."

"Oh no, oh no, what are we going to do now, Yumiko? If someone gets involved, will our original plan be ruined?"
