Is it OK, Fukuyama? Shiraishi's voice, with a hint of barely perceptible hesitation, sounded softly in a corner of the empty classroom, as if even the dust in the air was gently stirred by this subtle inquiry.

What? Fukuyama raised his head, and took his attention away from the pile of books for a moment, his eyes full of confusion.

I mean, just now in the corridor, it was clearly a great opportunity to get close to the East Coast of the United States, why didn't you seize it? Shiraishi's words were full of regret, and he knew his friend's desire to establish a new relationship.

Do you think I'm really ready? Fukuyama smiled bitterly, and that smile hid too many unsaid stories and inner struggles. If I really had that courage, perhaps I wouldn't be alone a long time ago.

Hearing this, Shiraishi sighed softly, as if he felt helpless for his friend's situation, but he couldn't change anything directly. You're right, this matter really can't be rushed.

After a short silence, Shiraishi changed the subject, as if he wanted to change the topic to ease the atmosphere. By the way, Shiraishi, do you have any plans after class today?

You know that I have a full schedule until the end of the fourth period. Shiraishi answered with a hint of fatigue in his tone.

What about after that? Do you have any plans? Fukuyama asked, with a certain expectation in his eyes.

I have to go home quickly, Nasuno is waiting for me to help him take a bath. The little guy is particularly resistant to taking a bath recently, I have to find a way to coax him~. Shiraishi explained.

Oh, so... Fukuyama seemed a little disappointed, but soon thought of something, but if you are free later, can you come to a social gathering? Someone here suddenly caught a cold, and we are worried about not having enough people.

Were you listening to me just now? Shiraishi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He really couldn't imagine that he would have the energy to attend any social gathering after helping Nasuno take a bath.

Of course I'm listening, but this is also an opportunity, right? Fukuyama tried to convince him, and the girls in this social gathering are very special, they are from the nursing department.

When it comes to the nursing department, Shiraishi's eyes light up slightly. He doesn't have a special preference for girls in the nursing department, but because of the indescribable feelings in his heart - Akagi Yumi, the girl who works silently in the nursing department of the medical school, is a touch of tenderness in his heart.

Although he knows that it is unlikely to meet Yumi in this social gathering, it is also a comfort for him to be able to contact people in the same department as her and understand her daily life.

However, reason quickly suppressed this impulse. Shiraishi and Mai are in a stable relationship, and he knows that he can't do anything that may hurt each other.

I can't go, Mai will be unhappy. He firmly rejected Fukuyama's invitation.

What if Mai agrees? Fukuyama doesn't seem to be willing to give up easily. He knows the hesitation and struggle in Shiraishi's heart, so he puts forward such a hypothesis.

Bai Shi was stunned. He had never thought about this question. If he could really get Mai's understanding and support, then...

I'll call her and ask her. In the end, Shiraishi made a decision. He picked up his phone and walked out of the classroom, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that this call might change something, but he also understood that no matter what the result was, he needed to be responsible for his relationship with Mai.

The moment the call was connected, Shiraishi's heartbeat quickened. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and sincere. Mai, I have something to discuss with you...

"What's wrong?" On the other end of the phone, Mai's voice was mixed with some noise from electronic devices, and she seemed to be busy checking the email from her agent. Shiraishi took a deep breath and told the whole story in detail, and every word carried his respect and cherishment for this relationship.

"In fact, someone invited me to a social event." Shiraishi's words were accompanied by a subtle nervousness. He waited for Mai's reaction, just like waiting for an unknown trial.

"And then?" Mai's response was concise and direct, without any dragging.

"The problem is that this social gathering is temporarily short of people, and it's today." Shiraishi continued to explain, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

"So, are you hesitating whether to go?" Mai seemed to have seen through his thoughts long ago, and there was a hint of teasing in her words.

"The other party is from the nursing department of our school... I think I shouldn't go, right?" Shiraishi carefully raised his concerns, fearing that he would touch the sensitive points in Mai's heart.

However, Mai's answer surprised him: "Just go." Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if this was a very common thing.

"Uh, is this really okay?" Shiraishi asked back in disbelief, with a complex emotion in his heart.

"After all, with your personality, if you miss this opportunity, you may really have no chance to go to such occasions for the rest of your life." Mai's words were a bit teasing, but more of it was understanding and tolerance for Shiraishi.

"But, Miss Mai, you are my girlfriend, you should stop me." Shiraishi tried to regain some of his stance as a boyfriend. .
