"It's okay now. It happens occasionally. It was more serious in the past. There were even bastards who followed me for a long time." Mai Sakurajima looked calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.

"It's not easy to be a star."

"There is no such thing as easy in the world of adults."

Lin Hezhen raised his eyebrows: "Are you an adult?"

"I am not yet 18 years old, but I debuted very early and have been working hard in the entertainment industry for more than ten years. Psychologically speaking, I am no longer a child."

"What would you do if I weren't here today?"

"Of course, we need to contact the station staff. If we have photos as irrefutable evidence, they will deal with this candid pervert."

"Aren't you considering calling the police?"

Mai Sakurajima was silent for a second and said, "If you call the police, you will probably see all kinds of ridiculous rumors on the Internet tonight."

Recalling that when searching for "Mai Sakurajima" on the Internet, many scandalous rumors came out, Lin Hezhen nodded thoughtfully: "Being too famous is not a good thing."

"Right? So I have had a wish since I was a child. I want to go to a place where no one knows me."

"Does your previous invisibility have something to do with your wish?"

"I don't know..." Mai Sakurajima lowered her head and played with the hem of her skirt, neither admitting nor denying.

"Do you have any idea why it's like this?"

"Why should I answer the question honestly from a junior at the same school? Where are you a plainclothes policeman from?"

"Because Mai doesn't want to go on like this forever, living alone in the world like a transparent person."

Mai Sakurajima jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "You actually called me by my name? We are not so close to each other, right?"

Lin Hezhen said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just for calling people names?"

"It's so rude, you are unbelievably frivolous." Mai Sakurajima's face was slightly red, but she still looked aggrieved.

"Alas." Lin Hezhen sighed helplessly.

People in this country will get hung up on the little things and forget about the things that really matter.

"So Sakurajima-san, could you please tell me how you ended up in this state? I'm very curious."

"I have no reason to satisfy your curiosity." Mai Sakurajima smiled slyly.

Her eyes wandered around the carriage, and when she saw a movie poster in the advertising column, she couldn't look away.

It is a big IP movie adapted from a popular novel. The heroine is a rising star in the industry. Her image and acting style are very similar to Sakurajima Mai. In recent years, thanks to Sakurajima Mai’s retirement, she has gained many opportunities. .

Mai Sakurajima stared at the heroine, her lips pursed tightly, her eyes were full of nostalgia and unwillingness, and her emotions were very complicated.

"In short, forget about me and don't have anything to do with me. This is for your own good. I'm serious. You don't want to get involved in trouble that you can't solve because of your curiosity."

When the train arrived at the station, Sakurajima Mai left these words and got off the train without looking back.

Lin Hezhen shrugged and said that he could not solve the problem. He was really looking down on others.But Mai Sakurajima doesn’t know that she is an immortal cultivator.

He slowly followed her out of the car.

Lin Hezhen and Sakurajima Mai live in the same apartment building and have exactly the same route home, but it's not that he wants to be a stalker.

In short, Lin Hezhen watched Sakurajima Mai leave the station, stopped in front of a small bread shop, and said to the old woman selling the bread: "Please give me a butter bread."

However, the old lady completely ignored her existence. She could neither see her nor hear her voice, as if there was nothing in front of her.

Mai Sakurajima showed an expression of astonishment and distress and repeated over and over again: "Please give me a butter bun."

However, the old woman still had no reaction.

However, several more customers came later, and they all successfully bought the bread they wanted, which proved that the old woman's hearing and vision were not problematic, she just simply couldn't see Mai Sakurajima.

Mai Sakurajima stood aside lonely, like a kitten abandoned by its owner, tasting despair alone in the wind and rain.

"Please give me two butter buns, packed separately." Lin Hezhen stepped forward and said to the old lady.

"Ok."

After paying, Lin Hezhen handed one of the loaves to Mai Sakurajima and said, "Take it, don't you want it?"

"Thank you." Mai Sakurajima took the bread with mixed feelings.

"You're welcome. Just remember to give me the money, double it. As a middleman, I'll make the difference."

Mai Sakurajima put away the emotion she felt just now and said angrily: "I know, I will definitely not take advantage of you."

"It's just a joke, it's only 130 yen. This small amount of money is just a treat for you."

"No, I'll pay you back now." The girl took out her wallet and took out the change, not wanting to accept Lin Kazhen's favor at all.

Seeing this, Lin Hezhen no longer refused, took the change and put it into his trouser pocket.

He took a bite of the butter bread. The skin was soft, the butter was sweet, and the taste was great. No wonder Sakurajima Mai was so determined to buy it.

"You said before that you wanted to go to a place where no one knows you. In fact, it feels very uncomfortable. Being ignored by everyone makes life very inconvenient. You can't even buy the bread you want to eat."

"I didn't expect things to turn out like this. It's different from what I originally wished for..." Mai Sakurajima said in a low voice, and the second half of the sentence was barely audible.

However, he still couldn't hide it from Lin Hezhen's ears, and he caught the key words.

"Make a wish?"

"It's nothing." Mai Sakurajima decisively avoided the topic.

The two walked side by side on the road in silence.

The setting sun coated the two figures with a layer of gold. The streets were bustling with people, cars and pedestrians were bathed in the sunshine. The whole city seemed to be covered with a golden gauze like cicada wings.

"Om-"

Mai Sakurajima's cell phone vibrated. She took out the cell phone covered in a rabbit shell, glanced at the caller ID, immediately cut off the call, and put the phone in her pocket.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Lin Hezhen saw clearly that the caller's note was "agent."

I remember Maki Murakami once said that Mai Sakurajima’s manager is her mother.The note to the mother is "agent" instead of "mom", which is really interesting.

"Since when did it become like this?"

"Why do you keep asking about this?"

"Because I want to know you better."

"Confession? Sorry, I'm not interested in boys younger than me." Mai Sakurajima refused skillfully, thinking that she usually said similar things.

It's a pity that Lin Hezhen is not greedy for her body at all, and patiently explained: "It's not a confession, I just want to know the inside story. And in terms of mental age, I am definitely older than you."

Mai Sakurajima glanced at him, feeling that this guy was mocking what she said at the station.

Seeing that Lin Hezhen helped him buy butter bread, he had to reluctantly satisfy part of his curiosity.

"I realized something was wrong on the second day of spring break, when I went to the aquarium on a whim."

“There are elephants in the aquarium, right?”

"How is that possible?"

"Oh, I thought you went to the aquarium at Kaitan Zoo."

"I've never heard of anything like that."

"Okay, please continue." Lin Hezhen made a "please" gesture.

So, Sakurajima Mai continued to talk.

Chapter 18 Mai Sakurajima’s invisible state

"No one could see me in the aquarium. At first I thought it was an illusion. After all, I had stopped acting for almost two years, and everyone was concentrating on watching the fish."

The two walked side by side, Mai Sakurajima's tone gradually became heavier as she recalled her previous experiences.

"But on my way home, I entered a certain coffee shop and no one said 'Welcome' to me or took me to a seat. From that moment on, I was convinced that something strange was happening to me. "

"Perhaps it's a self-service coffee, or simply an unmanned cafe? Isn't this kind of hype concept store very popular now?"

"How is that possible? It's just an ordinary old-fashioned coffee shop. Apart from the bar, there are only four tables. There is only one barista and one waiter in the shop."

"It's also possible that you did something to offend the boss, so that you were refused entry."

"It's not that likely. This is my first time going to that store. You asked me to tell you what you said, so just listen with your ears and don't argue with me!"

Mai Sakurajima raised her foot angrily and stepped hard on Lin Hezhen's leather shoes.

Of course, her little feet could not cause any harm to Lin Hezhen. Rather, it would be better to say that this little feminine movement made Lin Hezhen feel a little novel.

"Mai, feet."

"I told you not to call me by my name!"

"My feet."

"What's wrong with the foot?" Mai Sakurajima looked innocent, as if she had "no idea what was going on." Can she be said to be a capable actor?

"No, I'm honored to be stepped on. It's better to say that you are giving me a reward by doing this." Lin He was so thick-skinned that he was invulnerable.

"What a weird sexual interest."

Seeing this, Sakurajima Mai lost interest, took her feet back in frustration, and walked forward first.

Unknowingly, the apartment where the two lived was already in front of them.

"It's just a joke." Lin Hezhen shrugged.

"I think it's at least somewhat serious." She smiled slyly.

"I can only say that as a normal male, I don't hate this feeling."

"Okay, we can't continue the conversation. Shut up. Where were you talking about?" Mai Sakurajima forcibly changed the subject.

She didn't care on the surface, but her ears were getting redder and redder. This look of pretending to be mature and shy was so cute that people couldn't help but want to continue teasing her.

"Speaking of you getting banned from the coffee shop."

"I'm going to be angry." Mai said this with a sharp gaze, and it looked like she was already angry.

Lin Hezhen made a "sealing" gesture to express his introspective attitude.

Mai kept an unhappy expression and continued: "There was no response when I talked to the clerk, and the other customers didn't notice me at all, as if I didn't exist at all. I was stunned at the time, and when I came back to my senses, I was already in the dark. escape."

"Where did you escape?"

"At the station near my home, nothing seemed to happen when I got there. Everyone could see me, with a surprised expression on my face like 'I unexpectedly met Sakurajima Mai'. So I thought that what happened before was an illusion...but still I was very concerned, so I went to investigate whether the same thing would happen in other places.”

"Does the so-called investigation mean walking around in that bunny girl costume?" Lin Hezhen thought of her previous provocative outfits in movie theaters and libraries.

"Dressed like that, people who can see her will definitely stare at her, right? It can't be called an illusion if no one notices it." She stepped lightly on the steps in front of the apartment.

"Having said that, haven't you considered the consequences? Once the 'invisibility' status expires in public, you will be watched by everyone, and even photos and videos will be taken and posted online. Won't that cause trouble?"

Even though Mai Sakurajima has retired from the entertainment industry, she is still a well-known figure. Her huge popularity has caused her every move to be amplified and studied by unscrupulous media in an attempt to sensationalize and attract traffic.

From the fake news such as "pillow business", "depression" and "suicide attempt" that were previously searched on search engines, you can know how maliciously she was viewed by people.

Mai Sakurajima said disapprovingly: "Actually, I had a premonition before entering that state. Somewhere in the dark, my sixth sense would remind me that I would soon enter the 'invisible state'. Similarly, there will be something wrong when I exit." It's like a premonition, reminding me that it's time to change clothes. You are currently the only person who can still see me after I enter the invisible state."

"That's it. No wonder there are no other witnesses." Lin Hezhen nodded.

This makes sense, why there are no rumors on the Internet such as "Mai Sakurajima wears a bunny girl costume to have round sex".

"You must have done a lot of tests during this period. Have you found any patterns?"

"Probably the farther away from my activity range, the greater the probability that people can't see me and the longer the duration; and the closer to the place where I usually move frequently, the more normal people behave and the shorter the invisible time."

"That's it. Then when you are invisible, will you be photographed by cameras, mobile phones, cameras, etc.?"

"I tried to steal the spotlight when others took a group photo, but I didn't appear in the photo at all. I have to say it was amazing. Hey, did I awaken some amazing superpower?"

She looked at Lin Hezhen with her big eyes, which were big and bright, as if they had crushed a handful of stars and spread them into the deep pool.

Lin Hezhen was speechless. He stepped into the apartment elevator and pressed the floor button for his home. He also pressed it for Mai Sakurajima.

"Do you think you are the 'Invisible Woman' from the Fantastic Four? Don't think too much. How can something you can't even control be considered a superpower?"

Mai Sakurajima pouted and said unconvinced, "Maybe I can fully master this ability if I work hard."

Lin Hezhen smiled and said, "If you insist on thinking so, I can only wish you good luck."

"Hmph, I think you just said citric acid when it's not enough for a lemon."
