My and Their Anime-Style Otherworldly Survival Adventure

Jiu Xiao quickly composed himself, gently squeezed Mami's shoulder, and said firmly, "Mami-senpai, what nonsense are you talking about? I won't allow you to fall in front of me, not even Jesus, I said it!" Jiu Xiao stopped, turned around, gently cupped Mami's cheeks in his hands, and looked intently into her eyes.

This time, Jiu Xiao caught Mami off guard. She had only said it casually, but she didn't expect Jiu Xiao to react so seriously.

Mami Tomoe paused for a moment, then a blush crept onto her face, and her heart involuntarily quickened. She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Jiuxiao's burning gaze, and said softly, "Jiuxiao-kun, you...you really are something. I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously..."

Sometimes, casual jokes can touch upon the deepest truths of the heart. Mami Tomoe is inherently insecure, and these words might have been unintentional tests, though she herself was probably unaware of them.

Jiuxiao sensed her unease and gently pulled her into his arms, resting his chin lightly on the top of her head, his actions speaking volumes. It was as if he was silently telling Mami, "No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

The two remained silent for a long time until passersby cast curious glances at them. Mami Tomoe then gently nudged Jiuxiao, a little embarrassed, and whispered, "Jiuxiao-kun, we...we're still on the street."

"What? Are you shy?" Jiu Xiao's lips curled into a mischievous smile as he deliberately leaned close to Mami's ear and whispered, "Mami-senpai, don't you like this? Or would you prefer me to do something more attention-grabbing in front of everyone?"

Mami Tomoe's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. She glared at Jiu Xiao in a panic and whispered reproachfully, "You, you're being silly! This is the street, it's not good if someone sees us..."

"What does it matter?" Jiu Xiao shrugged, looking completely unconcerned. "They don't know us anyway. Besides, Mami-senpai is so cute, I'd love for the whole world to know you're my girlfriend."
