I'll give my daughter one more second.

Chapter 1049 There are two Yunying!?

After all that, it turns out that Xiaoying and Xiaoyan wanted to go to the food competition and the haunted house because they wanted to make their parents' relationship closer.

"Actually, Xiaoying and Xiaoyan, you don't need to worry about this issue so much. Your father and mother have always had a very close relationship."

Not long ago, they even had close physical contact several times.

"But if that's the case, why don't Daddy and Mommy take the initiative to hold hands?" Xiao Ying pouted unhappily.

"Yes, yes, isn't it normal for couples to hold hands? Before, we had to help them hold hands."

"If it could be explained before as being because of Sanae's mother, now that she has left with Misaki-neechan, the level of closeness with Papa Mama has not improved at all."

“Exactly, exactly. As a loving couple, isn’t it perfectly normal to openly show affection?” Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yan, doing this will get you burned at the stake by the FFF group.

"Um... can I ask you what kind of actions you consider to be affectionate?" Wu Shen asked.

After all, he had promised to fulfill Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan's wishes before they left, so if possible, Wu Shen hoped to meet their demands.

If they want to see their parents being affectionate, then help them see it.

After several friendly yet exciting Pokémon battles, the closeness between the two sides has increased dramatically. Wu Shen also has memories of Hiratsuka Shizuka's future, and their relationship has now naturally progressed.

"Like this, linking arms intimately, that's basic practice!"

Xiao Ying leaned closer and linked arms with Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan nestled against Xiao Ying's shoulder. If it weren't for the two little girls, their actions and posture would really look like a couple.

“Uh…” Wu Shen and Hirazuka Shizuka exchanged glances, both showing troubled expressions.

It's not that they can't do this move; in fact, when Sanae was still around, the three of them did it once in such a short time.

It was just that it was a playground at the time, and most of the people there were visitors from outside the school and students who set up stalls here and there, so they were seen.

The rumors circulating among students are already a burden for Wu Shen, since he already has recognized titles such as "Erotic Demon King" and "Public Enemy of Women."

However, there are quite a few teachers and school officials patrolling and directing order in the teaching building right now. If they see Hiratsuka-sensei and a student being too close, it would be bad if it affected her work in the future.

“Little Oriole and Little Swallow, you need to understand that at this point in the past, we still had the teacher-student relationship, so it wasn’t appropriate for us to be too public…” Wu Shen and Hirazuka Shizuka each pulled a little girl to their side and patiently explained.

"Hmm, I see." Xiao Ying nodded thoughtfully after listening to Wu Shen's explanation.

"I'm glad you understand."

"So, as long as no one recognizes that they are Mommy and Daddy, we can openly show our affection?" Xiao Ying's eyes sparkled.

Why are you guys so obsessed with "showing off your love"?

"We're transparent, so we can temporarily cover ourselves with the plush toy costume, and then no one will be able to see us. That way, as long as we change clothes, no one should recognize Mommy, right?" Little Oriole said excitedly, waving the fluffy paw pads of the Meow Meow plush costume.

"Theoretically, that's true, but you wouldn't want Shizuya to wear a maid outfit, would you?"

Wu Shen glanced at Xiao Ying's cat costume, then at Hiratsuka Shizuka not far away. He tried to imagine combining the two in his mind, and found it surprisingly cute.

"Let me tell you beforehand, I'm not wearing such an embarrassing cat costume!" Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed Wu Shen's gaze and protested, blushing.

These cute clothes are indeed suitable for little girls, but if adults wear adult-sized mascot costumes when they're not performing in a play, the sense of shame they feel is no joke.

"It's okay, Mom, I have another good idea. There are so many maid cafes here, we can borrow a maid outfit for Mom to wear, then no one will recognize Mom." Xiaoyan said, pointing to a row of maid cafes in the corridor.

"Wearing a maid outfit will only make Jing stand out more, Xiao Yan, what are you thinking?" Wu Shen asked helplessly.

"No, no, Dad, think about it. Mom is a teacher now, right? Under normal circumstances, no one would expect a teacher to wear a maid outfit, right? So if Mom wears a maid outfit and changes her look, even if someone sees Mom, they will think it is Mom's relative or someone who looks similar, and they will not think it is Mom herself at all."

What kind of ingenious logic is this? Wu Shen felt a wave of embarrassment as he listened.

Wu Shen glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka subconsciously, only to be noticed by her gaze.

"Isn't a maid outfit even more shameful than a mascot costume?! I won't wear it, absolutely not!" Hiratsuka Shizuka wrapped her white coat tighter around herself and covered her chest with her hands.

"Even if we really have to wear it, it should only be when the two of us are alone together..." Hiratsuka Shizuka lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

Hmm? Did they unlock some new dress-up gal? Unfortunately, Wu Shen, with his keen hearing, still heard Hiratsuka Shizuka muttering to herself.

"Eh... That's strange. Last year when Mommy celebrated Daddy's birthday, she wore a pretty maid outfit. Why is she so resistant to this era?" Xiaoying pouted unhappily.

"Huh, Jing wore a maid outfit for my birthday?" Wu Shen showed great interest in the information his daughter had revealed.

"You bastard, what have you done to my future self?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka grabbed Wu Shen, as if she was about to punish him with an iron fist.

"Calm down, calm down. I'm not going to take the blame for my future self."

"Yes, yes, Mom, you shouldn't blame Dad. Because I remember that this was Mom's own choice, saying that she wanted to give Dad a surprise. She also told us that we absolutely could not tell Dad in advance."

"Ugh... What happened to me in the future?! This can't be right!" Hiratsuka Shizuka covered her face with her hands.

"Hmm, Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan should try to reveal less about the future in the future."

"Why?" Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan turned their heads at the same time, looking at Wu Shen with their cute little eyes.

“I already know that Jing will wear a maid outfit to celebrate my birthday, so when the future comes, I will already know this, and I won’t be surprised, right?” Wu Shen patted Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan’s fluffy doll heads.

"It's okay, we can just have Mom change into something else later."

“That makes sense,” Wu Shen nodded.

Since maid outfits no longer feel novel or exciting, why not just change to another one? I can't believe I didn't think of that. Am I just too inflexible in my thinking?

"Forget about maid outfits or mascot costumes. If it's just to avoid being recognized, a simple disguise like this should be fine, right?"

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka took out a headband from her shirt pocket and tied her hair into a single ponytail. At the same time, she took out a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses and put them on.

Finally, she took off the outer layer of her white coat and handed it to Xiaoying and the others, revealing a fitted short-sleeved shirt underneath that accentuated her figure.

"How about it? At first glance, it doesn't look like the original me anymore, does it?" Hiratsuka Shizuka brushed a strand of hair from her forehead.

"..." Wu Shen remained silent for a moment.

"What's wrong? Tell me your thoughts." Hiratsuka Shizuka walked in and waved her hand in front of Wu Shen's eyes.

"Sorry, sorry. I was just feeling a bit emotional. It's so easy for a woman to change her style."

The feeling was quite strange. Hiratsuka Shizuka's appearance hadn't changed fundamentally, but she looked completely different from before.

"Speaking of which, Jing, do you still carry your glasses with you at all times?"

“These are just blue light blocking glasses I bought before. This way, I can fulfill my daughters’ wishes without being recognized, right?” Hiratsuka Shizuka walked forward with a slightly flushed face and put her arm around Wu Shen’s arm.

"Yes, it's perfect." Xiao Ying nodded in satisfaction.

"But if that's the case, won't this new, unfamiliar woman suddenly appearing next to Baba cause any trouble at school?" Xiaoyan asked with some concern, recalling her parents' previous worries about being seen by others.

“There’s no need to worry about that. You should know that it’s already commonplace for your dad to suddenly have a new woman by his side at school.” Hiratsuka Shizuka nestled against Wu Shen, while showing a “kind” smile.

"Wow, Baba is so amazing!"

"Ahem, there's nothing to be proud of about this. Let's not talk about it anymore, let's decide where to go first." Feeling the grip on his arm tighten, Wu Shen quickly changed the subject.

“Let’s go to the haunted house first. Anyway, I already know from my future memories that Wu Shen is a very good cook. Even if he wins the competition, I won’t be surprised. We can leave that for later.” To avoid Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan arguing again, Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke first.

Everyone agreed with her suggestion, and so the group harmoniously arrived at the first haunted house experience hall, which was converted from a large classroom.

——————————————————————————————————————

Because of Hiratsuka Shizuka's brand-new look, the two adorable little girls, and Wu Shen, who is definitely someone who attracts a lot of hatred, their group is quite eye-catching.

The first haunted house was surprisingly well-made and had a great atmosphere. It seemed to be a joint activity between two classes, with two adjacent classrooms connected together.

The classroom was divided into maze-like paths using cardboard and barriers, completely covered with black cloth, and then decorated with various props to create a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.

The machine, hidden somewhere, was playing eerie and ethereal music. Combined with the students dressed as ghosts and monsters lurking in various corners, it looked quite frightening.

"Damn it, it's that wicked demon king again. Why is he always surrounded by different women, and with such a cute little girl by his side!"

"Everyone, put on a great show and try to scare this guy so badly he'll pee his pants and make him look foolish!"

"Understood! All departments, activate the highest level of alert preparedness!"

"I hate it so much~~~ I hate it so much~~~ I hate it so much~~~ Ah~~"

Perhaps it was because Wu Shen harbored such intense hatred, but the actors playing ghosts in the haunted house performed with great enthusiasm.

Besides the two little girls clinging tightly to Wu Shen, even Hiratsuka Shizuka was pressed even closer, her nerves on edge as she watched her surroundings.

Only Wu Shen showed no reaction whatsoever, calmly continuing forward.

"Baba, aren't you afraid of ghosts at all?" Little Oriole asked, trembling as she poked her head out.

"When I was a child, my biggest fear was ghosts." Wu Shen sighed softly, his mind flashing back to his dark past that he had buried deep in his heart.

"I'm not so afraid now."

"Actually, I'm not afraid of ghosts either," Hiratsuka Shizuka stammered in her defense.

Hiratsuka Shizuka isn't really afraid of ghosts, but the background music that only plays on repeat in Dark5 videos is just too creepy. Add to that the occasional characters popping out, and even if they're not ghosts, they'd give you a real fright.

"Baba, how come you've become unafraid of ghosts?" Xiao Yan asked, shivering.

"Actually, it's nothing. Humans are very adaptable. If you experienced situations like Silent Hill, Midnight Horror, Escape, or Tomie every day, anyone could become like me after a while."

As Wu Shen was speaking, suddenly another blood-soaked "ghost" jumped out from the pitch-black corner in front of him.

"I hate it so much~~~ I'm so...ghostly!!!"

The demon was putting on a great show, hoping to scare Wu Shen so badly he wet himself. However, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, stared at Wu Shen and Hiratsuka Shizuka behind him, yelled, and then turned around and ran away.

"What's wrong with this guy? You're clearly a ghost, so why are you being scared away?"

Wu Shen was wondering when he suddenly heard Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan's voices behind him: "Daddy, Mommy, look! We're floating!"

"Hmm?" Wu Shen turned his head and found that the two mascot costumes were lying empty on the ground. In their place, Xiao Ying and Xiao Yan looked like ghosts, their bodies semi-transparent as if they had lost gravity and were floating in mid-air.

"Is this... similar to the situation before the bell? It looks like the time is almost up."

"It seems that the ghost that was shouting just now must be referring to Xiaoying and Xiaoyan."

"Hmph! That's so unfair! Where can you find ghosts as cute and adorable as us?" Xiao Ying said angrily, making a face in the direction she had just come from.

"We don't have much time left. It seems we need to get out of the haunted house quickly and then immediately participate in the food competition." Wu Shen said anxiously as he quickened his pace toward the other exit of the haunted house.

"No need, it's too late. We can sense that we don't have much time left." Xiao Yan rushed forward and grabbed Wu Shen.

"Even if we rush there now, we might just disappear on the way. In that case, we might as well stay in this haunted house for now."

"Is it really okay if I don't go?" Wu Shen seemed a little hesitant.

"Mommy and Daddy don't need to look so disappointed. We'll see each other again in ten months anyway. Smile!"
