Concerned Citizen Mr. Mo
Raiden Mei: "..."
For some reason, Raiden Mei felt like she had been tricked again.
The so-called Eriyi was just an excuse made up by the other party.
Feeling extremely frustrated, Raiden Mei, who had never been so humiliated before, could only stand there, watching Mo Yi's figure disappear from her sight, with only one sentence on her mind.
Interesting man... no, he is
"That damned guy!"
That night, Raiden Mei went home, drank only a bowl of soup, and then went back to her room to rest.
Raiden Ryoma was worried all night, thinking that something had happened to his daughter. He even thought that it might be something as terrible as her falling in love.
Not only that, Raiden Mei couldn't stop thinking about that figure disappearing into the crowd that night, and she couldn't sleep for several hours, finally falling asleep around dawn.
Of course, after thinking about it all night, she had considered it.
That's right, it was all a clumsy attempt by the other party to get her attention!
If she's not mistaken, she doesn't need to bother the other person at all, because their goal is simply to get her attention, and their ultimate goal is naturally to confess their feelings.
In that case, the other party will inevitably continue to appear around her in other ways, such as the various chance encounters before, and all she has to do is wait and see!
Having figured out her past, Raiden Mei was finally able to let go of the teddy bear she had beaten up all night, revealing a relieved and expectant smile, muttering to herself, "I'll make you understand the origin of the name 'Queen Mei' then, you wretched guy!"
So the next day, Raiden Mei went to school as usual, but unlike before, she kept a close watch on her surroundings, looking for Mo Yi who might appear beside her at any moment by chance.
Then a day passed, and nothing happened on the other side.
Two days, a week, or even several weeks passed, and still nothing happened.
Raiden Mei couldn't help but wonder if this was an accident, or if her long-standing suspicions were actually the other party's true purpose.
Could it be!
Could it be that the other person's real purpose is to make me think about them all the time?
Thinking of this, and after being on guard for several weeks and feeling somewhat mentally exhausted, Raiden Mei gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Was this also part of your plan? You damned bastard!!"
PS: Because of the 'Divine Limit Emiya Shirou's' intermittent rant, the author's brain couldn't stop conjuring up strange images of various domineering Mei falling in love with me all night long.
Chapter 73: Mr. Mo, a Kind-hearted Citizen
Aside from their first encounter, Mo Yi was like a bubble that drifted in unexpectedly, suddenly entering Raiden Mei's mind and then suddenly disappearing.
After a month of being paranoid Raiden Mei finally returned to normal. Besides the fact that time heals all wounds, she also had a bit of a misconception that she had seen through Mo Yi's scheme. She thought that Mo Yi's goal was to make her remember him and then use that deep impression to win her over.
The best plan of resistance is naturally to pretend to forget about the other party, causing Mo Yi, who is secretly observing, to lose his composure, and then he will jump out.
As for the idea of finding Mo Yi in the vast Senba Academy, Raiden Mei had been waiting for him to come to her. After seeing through Mo Yi's evil plan, she knew she couldn't do that, because that would be falling into his trap.
The longer time passed, the more stubborn Raiden Mei became, and the less she wanted to go to the other party in person. Wasn't this just waiting to admit defeat?
And so it went, several more months passed.
Apart from Mo Yi, who appeared as brilliantly as fireworks and was occasionally remembered by Raiden Mei with gritted teeth, Raiden Mei's life these past few months has been no different from an accident, living the life of a pampered young lady.
Until that day arrived, a huge change quietly came!
ME Corp was suddenly exposed to an economic fraud scandal. Raiden Ryoma was not only dismissed from his position as president by the board of directors for allegedly forging financial documents, but also suffered imprisonment, causing his reputation to plummet.
This incident had a huge impact on Mei. In almost a day and a night, the classmates who had previously supported Mei suddenly turned cold and indifferent, and even her closest friends began to keep their distance from her, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mei was as if she had been instantly awakened from her dream of the Queen Mei by a bucket of cold water.
In just a few days, Mei's heart seemed to have grown for several years. As a disgraced young lady who once stood at the top of everyone's world, she now suffers all kinds of discrimination. After experiencing all kinds of human warmth and coldness, Mei has learned to be more sensitive and delicate in understanding the people around her. She still maintains the composure of a noble young lady. The more she is discriminated against, the more she builds a cold and beautiful shell to protect herself, leaving her tears in a corner where no one can see them.
For this reason, although Raiden Mei still adheres to her basic principles of being a decent human being, her view of the world has become cold, with a sense of "it's not me who's wrong, it's the world." Even though she still wears an elegant smile, she feels disgust and aversion towards the people and things around her.
'Another awful day—'
The current Raiden Mei no longer participates in club activities. After school, she usually finds a place to stay or goes to the ME Corp's research institute, which has been shut down, to look for evidence.
She always believed that her father was framed!
In fact, she was right. After all, her father, Raiden Ryoma, was a big figure who could influence the world. How could he possibly fall for something like economic fraud?
Unless there's an economic crisis or something truly out of the ordinary that can't be covered up, how could the interest groups closely connected to Raiden Ryoma possibly let him get into trouble?!
It's important to know that even major powers have cooperative relationships with ME Corp!
All of this conspiracy was orchestrated by Cocolia, the woman who called herself the root of Anti-Entropy. Presumably, because the Raiden Ryoma was hindering her plans, she naturally took action to remove it.
Although ME Corp is very powerful, it is still just an arms supplier. It can't stop an armed organization like Anti-Entropy, which has countless advanced technologies and Gundams.
Raiden Mei found a secluded corner, hugged her knees, buried her head in them, and stared Jingjing into space.
"Hello--"
At that moment, an unfamiliar voice rang in Raiden Mei's ear.
"Are you alright, classmate? Does your stomach hurt? Should I take you to the school clinic?"
Such a warm-hearted citizen of Changkong City is none other than Mr. Mo Yi!
The apocalyptic changes that happened to Raiden Mei had absolutely no impact on Mo Yi. After all, Mo Yi was just an ordinary high school student who liked playing games and never even watched the news. Whether the appliances in his home were made by ME Corp or some other company was of no concern to an ordinary person like Mo Yi.
Without ME Corp, can't we just switch to Lenovo or Samsung?
As usual, Mo Yi was looking for a secluded spot to write when he was surprised to find a female Top Student his usual seat.
Mo Yi wasn't the type to refuse to share his seat; he would simply find another place or sit nearby.
The way the other person was squatting there with their legs tucked in gave Mo Yi the feeling that the other person was in great pain.
Mo Yi, being such a warm-hearted person, couldn't help but feel sympathy. What if the other person was on their period and was in so much pain that they couldn't move?
"Thank you, I'm fine, I just wanted Jingjing and quiet."
Hearing an unfamiliar voice, and sensing genuine concern in the other person's tone, Raiden Mei looked up and offered an explanation.
"It's you?"
