Zongman: Dream with me

Chapter 166 Who is cuter

After listening to Irena's story, Yukinoshita and the others looked at each other, while Hiratsuka Shizuka turned her head slightly towards Kozawa beside her.

"Did you take her to the psychiatric department during the examination just now?"

"Huh? You don't believe it?" Xiao Zuohe looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in surprise. She just felt that little Irena was really pitiful, being inexplicably teleported to this world.

"...Not really." Hiratsuka Shizuka was silent for a moment, then answered as a matter of course.

Although the two spoke in low voices, it did not escape Yukinoshita Haruno's attention. But what shocked her was that these two adults with independent thinking actually believed the little girl's childish words.

Could it be... Yukinoshita Haruno looked at Mu You, who was looking at Irena with a gentle expression. Her green eyes emitted a soft light, like a beautiful jade.

"Traveling through the world because of a book..." Mu You recalled the settings of "Witch's Journey" in his mind, but found nothing. After all, he had only read half of the book. But for a world with worldviews such as demonic peeping, time travel, and parallel worlds, traveling through another world should not be a difficult problem, right?

But, why here?

"Mr. Mu You, have we... met before?"

Little Irena looked at Mu You with some curiosity. For some reason, although she had no impression of the person in front of her, the inevitable nervousness she had felt when she suddenly visited a strange place disappeared inexplicably.

It was like meeting an old friend whom I hadn’t seen for a long time in a strange country, and the sense of familiarity came all at once.

"Really? Maybe we were travel companions before." Mu You said jokingly.

“But I haven’t started traveling yet…”

"That was my past." Mu You casually changed the subject. "By the way, besides not being able to use magic, do you have any other feelings about this world?"

"This?" Irena thought, closed her eyes, and began to carefully sense her body. Although she could not use magic, as a magician, she was still very sensitive to herself and the surrounding environment, and soon noticed those abnormal parts.

Irena stretched out her hand, waving her slender fingers lightly in the air, as if stroking a piece of gauze that could be torn apart by a blow. "I don't know why, everything seems so real, but there's an inexplicable distance, just like... just like..."

“It’s like I’m having a very real dream.”

"That's right, it's like a dream!" Little Irena suddenly realized, then looked at Mu You who reminded her, and found that the smile in the other's eyes became even more intense, which made people angry.

"What's wrong?"

Is this funny? Irena asked in a somewhat irritated tone.

"It's nothing, but Miss Irena, I will help you find your way home, I promise!"

At this moment, Mu You made his promise. This solemn expression made little Irena dazed for a moment, but her mind was still blank as if shrouded in fog, and she couldn't remember anything.

"Yeah." Irena turned her head away with a blush.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was not far away, saw this scene and for some reason, her fists stiffened. It was really a case of drought and drought, flood and flood. First there was Shiina Mashiro, then there was Yukinoshita, and now he was flirting with other girls right in front of her, right? This time, she would definitely not let this guy go. Come back and study hard!

Well, she was trying to remind this guy of his duty as a student, not out of envy or revenge.

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Mu You with a sharp gaze, and then she saw a scene that made her even more stunned.

"Ah, that's a really cool way to say it. Yu-kun really knows how to please girls."

Yukinoshita Haruno grabbed Mu You's arm, leaned on him, and spoke in the tone of a hostess.

"That's true, after all, Miss Irena is also very cute, although not as cute as my sister."

Mu You looked at Yukinoshita Haruno strangely, wondering what she was planning to do. After all, this girl was known for her bad temper and her love of fun.

Seeing Irena's puzzled look, Haruno explained kindly, "Yes, the girl who saved you is my sister, Yukinoshita Yukino, and I am her older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno. Since Miss Irena is so cute, you can call me sister too."

"If I'm upset with someone, please don't drag me into it." Yukinoshita Yukino still couldn't keep her composure, her eyes fixed on Yang No who was holding Mu You's hand.

She and him...when?

Irena looked at Yukino, then at Haruno, and murmured in confusion, "Isn't the difference too big?" Irena thought, then lowered her head again...

Well, she is only fourteen years old now, she still has a chance!

Little Irena thought of her mother and instantly plucked up courage.

"Oh? I'm telling the truth. Do you think your sister is partial to you, Xiao Xueno? Then let's ask Youjun and let him tell us who is cuter between you two!"

Yukinoshita Haruno finally revealed her true intentions and threw this question to the confused Mu You.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to the only boy present. Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes were cold, and Irena also pretended to be serious and puffed out her chest, looking at Mu You intently.

"I……"

"Wait," Yukinoshita Haruno stretched out a finger, gently pressed it against Mu You's lips, and chuckled, "You can only choose between these two people. There can't be a third option, otherwise it wouldn't be fair..."

Yukinoshita Yukino & Irena: "..."

Why does it feel like I've already lost before the game even started?

"Okay, stop playing!"

Just when Mu You was in a difficult situation, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally chose to come to the rescue. She gave Mu You an unpleasant look, turned around and left the ward.

"Kasugano-san, come out with me for a moment."

Although it seemed that Xiao Jing was not in a good mood at the moment, Mu You still gave her a grateful look, and then left with her, leaving Yukinoshita Yukino and Irena looking at each other in bewilderment, as well as Haruno and Kosawa who were unable to eat the melon.

After a while, Irena came back to her senses and suddenly remembered how Shizuka Hiratsuka addressed Mu You just now. However, after Yukinoshita Haruno's explanation, she became even more confused.

"So he was trying to trick me just now?"

But why devise such a crude lie when it could easily be exposed? Or does the name have some other meaning?

Irena fell into deep thought, while Yukinoshita Yukino looked at the scene in front of her and was about to say something, but was stopped by Haruno's eyes.

……

On the other side, Mu You followed Hiratsuka Shizuka in the elevator all the way up to the rooftop of the hospital. It was already late at night, and with the gentle evening breeze, the two leaned on the railing and admired the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs.

Both of them were silent. After a while, Shizuka Hiratsuka took out her cigarette again, looked at Mu You, hesitated for a long time, and finally lit it.

Mu You remained silent. Through the hazy night, he silently watched the red firefly flicker in the darkness before finally going out...

"Hey, hello!"

When Mu You came to his senses, he saw a pair of slender hands waving in front of him.

"Ah, what's wrong, Xiaojing."

"Call me teacher, kid!" Hiratsuka Shizuka had already started to complain, but she sighed and softened her tone, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, I just got distracted."

"Really?"

"Really." Mu You answered calmly.

"Really? That's not like you at all. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

Shizuka Hiratsuka muttered, then immediately returned to her serious expression and looked at him seriously.

"What's going on between you and that little girl named Irena?"
