NOVEL WEB Chapter 37: The Queen and Her Devilish Boyfriend
Don't Forget to Review!!
he suddenly felt that Mai seemed a bit mischievous, labeling the boy named Badr like this. It looked like they had a pretty good relationship.
And… always available?
Could this be her boyfriend?
Uh… impossible, right…
Although this kind of intimate note made her a bit suspicious, Hanawa Ryouko couldn't help but deny it.
After all, who could make the dazzling girl Mai Sakurajima take a fancy to them?
Soon, after finishing the commercial shoot, Mai Sakurajima walked out of the studio. Hanawa Ryouko went over to hand her the phone.
"Miss Mai, a boy named Badr just called you."
"Is that so? I know, thank you."
Hearing the name Badr, a smile couldn't help but appear on Mai Sakurajima's face as she took the phone from Hanawa Ryouko.
Seeing the smile on Mai's face, Hanawa Ryouko couldn't help but feel a little suspicious:
When she heard the name Badr just now, Mai seemed really happy?
But Mai, being an actress, quickly controlled her emotions and calmly said:
"Miss Ryouko, my work is done, you can go home now. You've worked hard today."
"Haha, okay, then I'll give you a ride." Hanawa Ryouko fiddled with the car keys.
Mai Sakurajima shook her head with a smile. "No need, I have some things to do, I'll go back by myself later."
Saying that, she picked up her phone, as if to make a call.
Seeing this, Hanawa Ryouko didn't ask any more questions and, after saying goodbye to Mai, left.
Mai Sakurajima then dialed Badr's number, and the call was quickly connected after one ring.
"Mai?"
"It's me. Where are you?" Mai Sakurajima said, holding her bag and leaving the company.
This was not her agency, but a company that had paid a lot of money to invite her to shoot an advertisement after her comeback, with strong financial backing and previous cooperation.
"I'm at the izakaya here."
"Then let's meet at the pedestrian bridge."
Mai suggested a meeting spot, and Badr naturally had no objections. He glanced at the darkening sky; it was just the right time to pick Mai up.
Five minutes later, Badr arrived at the pedestrian bridge first and soon saw a stunning figure walking gracefully from the other end of the bridge.
With long, straight black hair, perfect body proportions, a beautiful face with a calm expression, exuding a regal aura, she was the epitome of a proud queen.
Perhaps because she had just finished work, her attire still had a hint of a business style, paired with black stockings and high heels…
Hiss…
Already tall, she now looked extremely mature, making it hard to believe she was still a high school student.
Badr approached and saw that her face, still with delicate makeup, made her originally stunning beauty even more exquisite, almost like she had walked out of a painting, perfect and flawless.
This beautiful girl made Badr unable to help but admire her carefully.
The surrounding passersby had already focused their attention on her.
"Hey, hey, hey… Isn't that Mai Sakurajima?"
"Wow, really, so beautiful… Should we secretly take a photo?"
"Uh, wouldn't that be inappropriate…"
Seeing the eager looks of those two men, Badr raised his eyelids slightly and snapped his fingers.
Snap!
—Common Sense Change!
Immediately, both of them looked dazed, touching their phones, not knowing what they were doing.
Mai Sakurajima saw all this and couldn't help but smile faintly.
She knew Badr wouldn't let them do as they pleased.
Although she often encountered such trouble, she had to pretend not to see or hear it, really not liking it in her heart and having no way to deal with them.
Since their hands, feet, and mouths were on other people, what could she control? If handled poorly, she would be online with people saying she was putting on airs like a star, causing even bigger trouble.
Now, with Badr, the Devil boyfriend, taking action, he just sent them away, solving a lot of Mai's troubles.
"Daring to take photos of my cute girlfriend, how impolite."
Seeing Mai come closer, Badr finally retracted his hand, speaking calmly.
"How cute?" Mai said with a playful smile, holding onto Badr's words.
Badr then seriously described, "Like the cuteness of an atomic bomb explosion."
The girl was instantly speechless. "What kind of comparison is that…"
"Just the level of cuteness with overwhelming destructive power."
"…."
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes smiling sweetly, giving Badr a sweet look.
"Why are you here today?" She reached out her hand and naturally linked her left arm with Badr's.
Immediately, Badr felt the soft touch on his arm.
Suppressing his excitement, he had to answer his girlfriend's question and smiled, "Because I missed you."
"Oh?"
Mai wasn't buying it.
"Does that mean you didn't miss me the past few days?"
"Of course not, because I missed you especially today."
Very good, full marks for the standard answer.
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but smile. "Okay, you're cleared."
Badr chuckled, softly muttering to himself with a gentle laugh, "Long live Queen Mai."

Linking arms with Badr, Mai Sakurajima felt very at ease, completely not worried about being photographed and causing rumors.
Because as soon as they were discovered, Badr would use Common Sense Change to make those people forget what they saw.
Mai Sakurajima thought this was really awesome, satisfying her normal life without affecting her work. The big problem that used to trouble her was easily solved because of Badr's presence.
On the way to the station, the two chatted casually.
"How's work progressing?"
"Not bad, the commercial shoot is finished, and it went quite smoothly."
Since it was her favorite career, Mai Sakurajima looked quite happy.
"After all, it's Mai, an actress with superb acting skills. Smoothness is to be expected."
Mai was quite pleased to hear that, a small hint of pride showing on her usually composed face. "Of course, if it were Badr's acting, it would definitely be lacking."
"Hey, you're looking down on your boyfriend like that." Badr smiled gently.
Mai Sakurajima had no intention of backing down. She liked teasing Badr, a bit mischievous, and said with a smile, "Because Badr likes to be teased by me, right?"
"Because it's Mai's teasing that I like."
"Hmph."
It seemed like she was quite dissatisfied, but Mai's evasive eyes revealed her shy heart.
"This time your acting was pretty good."
She lightly attributed Badr's words to his acting.
If she didn't cover it up a bit, he really might discover that he had already stirred her heart to pound.
Hearing this, Badr tilted his head slightly, then reached out to wrap his arms around Mai's waist, with a faint smile, peacefully continuing along with her words:
"This is true emotion in acting. How could it be bad?"
Mai Sakurajima: "..."
His tone was extremely gentle.
Making his voice sound very cool.
Looking at the boy in front of her with those warm, loving eyes, Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but be overwhelmed.
The boy was really captivating, his handsome appearance aside, his true emotions without pretense were simply nauseatingly sweet.
Mai couldn't help but think that she must have incredible fortune to make this boy show his true heart to her.
Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but hug the boy's shoulder, looking into his eyes, lost in his gaze:
"Badr doesn't need that kind of acting. Just be yourself, you're very likable."
That was her true thought.
But when Badr heard it, he laughed casually:
"Oh, well… It's because I know being myself is too likable, so I use that kind of acting."
Mai Sakurajima: "…??"
For a moment, the girl was speechless and amused.
"You're really not modest at all."
"Overly modest is the same as arrogance."
Mai Sakurajima couldn't take him anymore. This guy was quite narcissistic.
Holding the beautiful girl in his arms, Badr's fingers itched, the devil needed to release his desire, so he honestly looked at Mai Sakurajima's lips.
"Mai."
He whispered, his gaze completely unreserved.
Seeing Badr staring at her lips, Mai Sakurajima naturally understood what he wanted to do, and she immediately became a bit nervous.
She looked away twice, watching the boy slowly approach, her eyes full of shyness.
As Badr got closer and was about to kiss Mai's lips;
Suddenly, Mai raised her hand and gently pinched the boy's cheek, even playfully tugging it a couple of times, turning the boy's originally peaceful expression into a funny grimace.
"Ouch, that hurts."
Actually, it didn't hurt at all.
Badr didn't get angry being teased by Mai, letting his girlfriend pull his face, just like whining, expressing his feelings.
Mai was so amused by the boy's adorable, sulking behavior, her face couldn't help but show a playful smile.
"You thought I was going to kiss you just now, right?"
