The next day, Mai was woken up by a strange sensation. She felt a tightness in her chest and a little numbness. She opened her eyes and saw a person "eating breakfast." Renji saw her wake up and greeted her. "Good morning, Senior Mai."
"..." Mai was stunned, then her cheeks flushed. "Good morning, you pervert!"
Mai pushed Renji off the bed. The result of not being liked enough and doing bad things was that the beautiful girl got angry. But Renji remained calm. He got back on, hugging Mai. "I'm sorry, who made a senior sister so cute when she's sleeping?"
"Shameless! Just because I'm cute, you can do bad things?" Mai struggled for a bit, then softened. "Get your hands away. I don't know how long you've been messing around."
"Hey, I just woke up. But I've already put a mark on you, a fingerprint. Mai, from now on, you're mine!"
"You scoundrel~" Mai glared at him, her eyes misty.
Renji smiled and lowered his head, kissing Mai's red lips. Relationships needed to be maintained. The reason he dared to was to show his feelings. If he didn't say it, how would Mai know he cared? Although Mai was embarrassed, she didn't push him away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around Renji's neck and enjoyed the kiss.
After they separated, she stressed, "I'm just practicing to be a better actress, don't misunderstand!"
Renji smiled, pinching Mai's chin. "I'm not misunderstanding. I'm honored to be your practice tool, but you can't practice with others. If there's a kissing scene, invite me to be the male lead."
Mai's eyes lit up. "Although I don't want to admit it, you're handsome. Do you want to be an actor with me?"
Renji touched his chin and nodded. "Alright. I have a story I want to star in. Do you want to hear it? We can take some time to act together during the holidays."
"You said you wouldn't go back on your word. Tell me your script. If it's bad, I won't take it!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied! This is a story about a bond, about a cycle of life and death."
Renji then told the outline of the popular movie, Your Name, to Mai. He changed the male protagonist's name to Renji Zhengxi. He didn't want to use his real name. Mai was fascinated.
"Junior, even though you're a pervert, I have to admit your talent. Can you write this story as soon as possible? I want to be the female lead!"
And, if the protagonists switched souls, wouldn't Renji have to act like a girl and Mai like a boy?
Renji saw Mai's naughty expression. "It's no problem to write it, but why do I feel like you're thinking of something strange?"
"No! I'm just impatient. I'm really looking forward to your new script."
"Okay, okay. I'll start writing today and will show it to you." Renji stroked Mai's hair lovingly. His eyes fell on her fair skin, and he was a little excited.
Mai noticed his eyes, glaring at him. "Do you want to keep being naughty? You've already woken me up." Mai still felt a little numb.
"Hey, sorry. But Senior Mai is so cute when she's sleeping. A high school boy like me can't resist your charm. Remember the bunny girl costume..."
"Be quiet! Don't mention that!" Mai hugged her head in embarrassment and pressed it against Renji's chest.
Renji, who was already satisfied, continued his morning behavior. Mai shivered, looking at him shyly. Seeing Renji so obsessed, she was embarrassed but also proud. I'm still so attractive. Her mother warned her not to focus too much on her career, as it could drive men away. But this guy coveted her beauty so much, so how could he leave? She asked Renji not to have any intimate contact or kissing.
But it was unavoidable. She could only pull Renji into acting too. Let's do business together! That's what she said, but...
"That's enough. If you continue... I... can't take it."
Renji looked at her flushed face and smiled contentedly. "If you can't take it, just give yourself to me."
"Get out! I like to think about it, but I'm not ready yet. Although I don't mind dating a guy younger than me, I'm not ready."
"Then I'll wait for you, Senior Mai." Renji smiled gently, kissing her face.
Mai nodded. Although his behavior was bad, for some reason she was a little happy. Mai felt like she was on a pirate ship she couldn't leave.
Renji savored Mai's touch once more, then left reluctantly. It was time to wake Mashiro up.
He entered the room and pinched Mashiro's face. "It's time to wake up, Mashiro." The girl opened her eyes, looked at him resentfully, then opened her arms. Renji picked her up. He started dressing Mashiro. Although Mashiro could dress herself, she wanted to hand all the "trouble" over to him. For Renji, such trouble was an exclusive bonus.
After he was done, Mashiro tugged at his sleeve. She wanted to drink milk. What could Renji do? The adorable blonde girl looked at him hopefully. Of course, he had to satisfy her.
Afterward, he gave her some baumkuchen as a treat. Because he knew Mashiro liked the cake, he always bought it. Of course, he wouldn't let Mashiro eat too much, as it was just a dessert. He wanted Mashiro to be healthier.
