I'll give my daughter one more second.

Wu Shen then turned his gaze to Shi Yu and asked for her opinion.

"It doesn't matter, Xiaowuyi can come along if she wants to. I'll go buy groceries too." Shiyu nodded slightly.

"Hey, so Shiyu, do you know I have to work today and come with me to the supermarket? Are you going to wait there with me for two or three hours?" Wu Shen originally thought Shiyu would definitely wait at home for him to come over in the evening, but he didn't expect her to even want to come with him to work.

“Didn’t I ask you to prepare dinner tonight? Tell me what ingredients you need to buy, and while you’re at work, Wu Yi and I can go to the supermarket to buy them for you. That will save a lot of time,” Shi Yu said, sharing her idea.

Wu Shen couldn't find any reason to refute it, so he could only agree to Shi Yu's plan.

So the three of them left the school together, leaving only those who stayed behind for club activities. Therefore, they didn't cause much of a commotion. However, a few scattered people still saw Wu Shen and Shi Yu holding hands as they walked out of the school gate.

"I reckon there will be even more outrageous rumors tomorrow," Wu Shen said helplessly, glancing back.

"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"

"Of course I don't mind, but Shiyu, are you really okay?"

"Guess~~" Shi Yu replied playfully, to which Wu Shen could only respond with a wry smile.

When they arrived at the supermarket, as usual, Nanami was the first to arrive on duty. When she saw someone come in, she subconsciously said, "Welcome... Wu Shen, you're here? Oh? Shiyu came with you too?"

To avoid repeating the same mistake as before, Wu Shen preemptively said, "I have a part-time interview job and need to accompany Shi Yu for a while."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Shiyu, but this time Shiyu didn't react at all; her reaction was surprisingly calm. How strange! Of all the girls he knew, why did Shiyu always seem to have a problem with Yukino? Wu Shen was completely baffled.

"I'm going to pick out the ingredients with Mai first. You can take your time with your work." On the way here, Wu Shen had already decided what to do that evening and told Shi Yu what ingredients to buy. After saying goodbye to Wu Shen and Nanami, Shi Yu and Mai headed into the supermarket.

Wu Shen, having changed into his work uniform, also arrived at the cashier's counter. He glanced at Qi Hai, seemingly casually, and noticed that she looked somewhat listless, with slightly dark circles under her eyes, appearing as if she hadn't slept well.

"Nanami, are you alright?" Wu Shen asked with a slight frown and some concern.

"It's nothing, I've just been working a lot of part-time jobs lately, and with the voice actor training course going through tests, I need to practice more, and I also have to take care of Mashiro, so I'm a bit tired."

"If you're too busy, you don't have to take care of Shiina for the time being. You can let Kamiigusa look after her, or you can leave her to Sengoku-sensei."

Ye Ge stayed at home. Like mother, like daughter, and Wu Shen probably also understood just how terrifying the clueless Zhen Bai really was.

"No, no, you have no idea how terrifying Kamiigusa is. If we let her take care of Mashiro, there will definitely be huge problems! She might even infect poor Shiina and turn her into an alien. I will never allow Shiina, who is as pure as a piece of paper, to be defiled." Nanami clenched her fists.

"Do you need my help?"

“You’re even worse! In some ways, you’re far more dangerous than Ue-i-kusa. Don’t approach Shiina!” Nanami crossed her arms and looked at Wu Shen warily.

"Huh?"

After just one day of care, Qi Hai's attitude completely changed, and Wu Shen was really curious about what had happened during the day.

"At first, I just thought Shiina wasn't very good at taking care of herself, but it turns out the situation is much worse than before." Nanami rubbed her eyes, forcing herself to stay awake. "As for Sengoku-sensei, she's just as unreliable. There's no way we can entrust her to her!"

"Are you sure you're really okay?" Wu Shen asked with some concern, but he knew that asking wouldn't make much sense, as Nanami was a girl with a strong sense of independence.

"It's nothing." Nanami stubbornly shook her head.

"Speaking of which, Aoyama, you've always given off the vibe of being a mother," Wu Shen said half-jokingly.

Nanami's attitude just now was exactly like that of an overworked mother. It seems that Mashiro is really giving Nanami a lot to worry about.

"You're the old woman here." Nanami's face flushed slightly.

Wait, did I set some strange flag because of what I just said?

To be honest, he's already got two daughters, and even if QB suddenly pops up inviting him to become a magical girl, or a dialog box pops up on his computer asking if he wants to know the meaning of life, he can remain calm. But the only thing that will make him completely uneasy is if the number of daughters continues to increase.

Should I start avoiding other girls from now on? Otherwise, it wouldn't be fun if a few more girls suddenly appeared. Sigh, as a single guy, I never thought I'd be thinking about such a bizarre question. Wu Shen sighed and complained to himself.

However, seeing Nanami's current exhausted state, Wu Shen thought he should visit Sakura-sou during his free time these next few days, and also interview Mashiro to finish the press release. He didn't want Nanami to overwork herself like this.

Chapter 162 Computer Accessories

Because Mai was still wearing her maid outfit, and Utaha already attracted a lot of attention, the cute little girl and the alluring high school girl walking hand in hand created a striking scene.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the supermarket at that time, so it didn't cause any major disturbance.

Just as Shiyu walked to the refrigerator and started selecting the ingredients Wu Shen had mentioned, Wuyi, unable to contain herself, looked around and suddenly noticed that Yueyin was peeking out from behind a shelf not far away, watching them.

Tsukine noticed that Mai had spotted her, but instead of running away, she waved to her, signaling her to come over.

Then, seeing the curious Mai looking up at Shiyu, she said, "Sister Shiyu, you stay here and watch over things. I'll go get the cola for my brother; the ingredients need this."

"Go ahead. But don't go too far. Just come find me here later." Shiyu didn't refuse Wuyi's suggestion and smiled as she touched her soft hair.

Once free, Mai quickly ran to the corner of the shelf and began to reunite with Tsukine.

"Tsukine, Tsukine, what are you doing here?" Mai walked up and asked curiously.

"Of course I'm here to help you. I remember you said you hoped that your brother and Shiyu could be together, right?" Yueyin blinked, as if she had everything under control.

"Tsukine, do you have a solution?" Mai asked, her voice filled with delight.

"Tonight is a golden opportunity," Yueyin said persuasively.

"I know, but my older brother and sister won't let me go with them. Besides, if I go, I'll be a third wheel. Tsukine, please help me think of a way. How can we get them together without me going?" Mai asked anxiously.

"Don't worry, the method is actually very simple. Just tamper with the ingredients needed for tonight's recipe. You're here for the cola, right? I've already prepared it for you." Yueyin said, taking out a large bottle of cola and an empty bag of MSG from behind the shelf. However, no one knew that Yueyin had simply poured all the MSG into the trash can, and the cola hadn't even been opened. Besides, mixing the two wouldn't actually produce any effect.

"This...this thing, could it be the legendary computer component?" Mai recalled the computer component formula she had discussed with Yege a few days ago.

"When these two things are mixed together, they can produce that kind of effect. If my brother uses this tampered cola while cooking, then what happens next will definitely be unsuitable for children." Yueyin's serious tone made it sound like she was really telling the truth.

Although the formula for this computer accessory was a completely unfounded rumor, Mai immediately believed Tsukine's explanation.

What should I do?

"It's very simple. I've already poured the MSG into the cola. Mai, you just need to complete the last step."

"What steps?" Wu Yi's eyes lit up.

"To make the MSG and cola mix thoroughly, you need to shake the cola bottle vigorously," Yueyin said, handing the cola to Mai.

Following Tsukine's instructions, Mai shook the cola bottle a few times, and countless bubbles immediately rose from the liquid inside, but they quickly settled back down.

Is this all?

"No, we need to shake it even more violently." Yueyin's smile grew even stronger.

"Huff, huff..." Mai continued to shake the cola bottle frantically until she was panting and exhausted, then she finally stopped. "This... this time... should be okay, right?"

“Of course, you did a great job. Now all we need to do is give this bottle of cola to Shiyu-nee to pay the bill. With this computer accessory, they’re sure to have a very memorable night.” Tsukine clasped her hands together and chuckled.

"Thank you so much, Yueyin! You're such a kind person! If the plan succeeds, just let me know if you need any help in the future." After saying that, Mai picked up the cola bottle and ran away.

"Pfft, I actually got friend-zoned. But I'm not exactly a good person, you know? Father always says I'm a bad kid." Yueyin covered her mouth and chuckled a few times.

Time flies, and two hours have long passed. Perhaps because Shiyu and Mai have been waiting at the door, the supermarket is doing much better business than usual today.

After finishing his work and changing his clothes, Wu Shen came out to find that only Shi Yu was standing alone outside, her eye-catching dance costume gone.

"Hmm? Where did Mai go?" Wu Shen looked around but couldn't find the little maid Mai.

"She said she didn't want to be a third wheel, so she sneaked away by herself just now." Shi Yu brushed her slightly messy hair, which had been blown about by the night wind.

"A light bulb? Uh..."

"My cousin exposed my plot, huh? Looks like Wu Shenjun's scheme against me paid off. Were you planning to smuggle some nasty drugs into the food?"

“I would never do such a thing,” Wu Shen joked. “I’m a member of the Glowing Cuisine School, and I would never put drugs in food. That’s a skill that only chefs at Totsuki Culinary Academy need to learn.”

In the past, he might have half-jokingly admitted that his scheme had indeed paid off. However, since Ye Ge's arrival and his suspicions about Yu Yin and the others, Wu Shen's behavior has clearly become less proactive, leaning more towards passive defense.

Now that he knew about his other daughters, he could no longer be as carefree as before, only concerned with Wuyi's situation. But he also realized that he couldn't keep running away and staying put.

They continued walking and chatting for several tens of minutes before finally arriving at Shiyu's house.

Wu Shen cautiously entered the room. Although he had been there once before, the psychological trauma left by his previous experience was too severe, giving him a feeling of "once bitten by a snake, twice shy".

"Your parents shouldn't suddenly come back today, right?" Wu Shen asked with some concern.

"Didn't I say that my parents are going on a business trip out of town and won't be back for at least a month? If they really come back suddenly, they can just frankly admit that you are my classmate and friend," Shiyu replied calmly.

"Indeed, even if we're misunderstood, it's better than another night of nightmares in the bathroom. If that situation were discovered, it would be really hard to explain."

Wu Shen shrugged, picked up the plastic bag containing ingredients, and tried to find the kitchen. He planned to start preparing dinner and show off his skills to Shi Yu.

"Where is the kitchen? Can you take me there?"

Led by Shi Yu, Wu Shen arrived at the kitchen. He observed the layout of Shi Yu's kitchen and was about to start preparing when he suddenly noticed that Shi Yu was standing to the side without any intention of leaving.

"Aren't you going out first? The kitchen will smell really strong with cooking fumes soon," Wu Shen advised.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to see your cooking skills for myself." Shi Yu smiled faintly. "Speaking of which, what dish are you planning to make?"

"Cola chicken wings, look forward to it." Wu Shen answered confidently, then placed the cola on the table and twisted the cap with his hand.

Chapter 163 Petrification Magic

The cap on the large bottle of cola was a bit tight, but Wu Shen managed to loosen it by twisting it forcefully.

However, the moment he opened the bottle cap, there was a "plop" sound, and a large amount of cola liquid, along with countless bubbles, gushed out of the bottle opening, directly "splattering" Wu Shen's face.

Because Shi Yu was standing very close to Wu Shen, she was also drenched in the splashing liquid and foam of the cola.
