Isami Suzuka was a friend of Ren Nanase from their time in nursing school, and also a friend of Ryou Fujibayashi. The three had a very good relationship during nursing school, frequently studying, eating, and going shopping together.
After graduation, she even entered Chiba City Hospital to work alongside Ren Nanase.
It was a rare break this weekend. She had asked Ren Nanase out a few days in advance, but Ren Nanase said she didn't have time. She then asked Ryou Fujibayashi, but was also politely refused, with Ryou saying she had things to do over the weekend.
This made her very depressed.
Faced with the fact that both friends had appointments this weekend, she was naturally curious and suspicious.
There were rumors in the hospital that Ryou and her older sister were arguing over a man, and Ren Nanase had received a phone call during work with a happy expression that was hard to conceal. Suzuka increasingly felt that both her friends had fallen in love, or at least had members of the opposite sex with whom they shared a special relationship.
She hadn't tried to pry into Ryou Fujibayashi's side of things yet.
As for Ren Nanase, she had jokingly probed for information yesterday. Although Ren Nanase kept denying it, Suzuka didn't believe her.
She just hadn't expected that coming alone to this Italian restaurant in Chiba today to treat herself would result in coincidentally running into her good friend Ren Nanase and that mysterious male!
Isami Suzuka was excited.
She carefully took out her phone and pressed the camera button.
"Very good, now Ren can't deny it. Hmph hmph, dressing up so beautifully to come out on a date with a man, and they say they aren't a couple? Hmph hmph."
She hummed twice.
Isami Suzuka held her fork, twirling the pasta before stuffing it into her mouth. As she chewed, the pasta, which was originally quite delicious, suddenly felt like it had unexpectedly lost its flavor.
She was no longer in the mood.
At this moment, Isami Suzuka only wanted to know what stage the relationship between Ren Nanase and that man had reached.
"Right, I'll send Ryou a message. I can also take this opportunity to ask Ryou about the situation with that mysterious man on her side."
This was a good opportunity.
Isami Suzuka immediately edited a message and selected send.
—Ryou, do you know who I ran into while eating at an Italian restaurant? Explosive news!
A minute later, Isami Suzuka received a reply.
—Who? A celebrity?
—No, it's Ren. Ren is secretly dating a mysterious boyfriend this weekend and came to the Italian restaurant to eat. I just happened to bump into them, hahaha.
After sending it, Isami Suzuka felt it wasn't enough, so she edited another one.
—I'll send you the photo I secretly took. Ren is so beautiful today; it's the first time I've seen her dressed up this beautifully. Saying she's a female celebrity wouldn't be wrong at all; even Mai Sakurajima isn't as good as the current Ren.
The photo she took was also sent over.
However, Isami Suzuka did not receive a reply for a long time.
She was puzzled.
Why wasn't Ryou replying to the message?
She thought about it and edited another message.
—Ryou, what about you! Confess honestly, are you also secretly dating a boyfriend behind my back? You two have both found boyfriends, leaving me as the only one still single. That's too much!
It took two minutes before she received a reply.
—No.
The reply was very cold.
Isami Suzuka felt it.
—Suzuka will find a partner! Sorry, my sister is calling me. I'll go first, let's chat later.
So that was it!
She had thought Ryou was dissatisfied with her!
Isami Suzuka looked again toward the distant seat where Ren Nanase was smiling like a flower.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"Very good looking, smiling so brilliantly. A date with a man really is different."
She shook her head.
She was considering whether she should go over and disturb them, give Ren a huge surprise, and incidentally take a look at her good friend's boyfriend!
*
Kyou Fujibayashi, who was playing with her sister in Odaiba, clearly felt the change in her sister's mood.
Her lost appearance was as if she had suffered some major impact.
"Ryou, what's wrong?"
But her younger sister didn't respond. This made Kyou Fujibayashi step up to her sister's side, placing one hand on her sister's shoulder and shaking her as she spoke.
"Ryou."
"Eh? Ah! Sister, what is it? Is something the matter?"
"I should be the one asking you that. absent-minded, looking uncomfortable... did something happen?"
"No, nothing..."
Ryou Fujibayashi shook her head repeatedly in denial, but Kyou Fujibayashi didn't believe it. How could she not see her sister's lost and unhappy appearance!
"Speak. I am your sister."
"Really, nothing."
Kyou Fujibayashi recalled something. Her eyes looked down, her gaze landing on the phone in Ryou Fujibayashi's right hand.
"Give me the phone."
"No."
"As expected, there is a problem. Did Lin Ye contact you to ask you out to play today?"
Because Ryou was already here in Tokyo's Odaiba with her, her sister definitely couldn't keep the appointment unless she chose to abandon her, the older sister. But Ryou obviously couldn't do that to such an extent yet.
"No, Sister. Lin-kun didn't send me a message."
Ryou Fujibayashi said this while stuffing the phone into her shoulder bag. "Let's go! Sister, we haven't eaten yet! I want to eat a pork cutlet bowl."
"Alright then!"
There were quite a few people in Odaiba on the weekend.
But in the restaurants at this specific time, the number of dining tourists wasn't large.
Kyou Fujibayashi soon brought her sister to a restaurant and sat down, ordering two pork cutlet bowls.
While waiting, Ryou Fujibayashi got up first to go to the restroom.
Kyou Fujibayashi made a decision after a brief thought. She took out her sister's phone while her sister went to the restroom.
Face recognition, unlock successful.
There was absolutely no privacy between them as sisters.
After a short while, Kyou Fujibayashi knew the situation.
The man sitting opposite Ren Nanase was Lin Ye. Although it was only a back view, she recognized him at a glance. And if she recognized him, let alone her sister.
"Sister..."
Ryou Fujibayashi, who had returned, looked at her sister blankly. "How could you do this?"
She ran back quickly and snatched the phone, looking angry, yet forcefully enduring it without exploding.
"I apologize to you. Sorry for checking your phone without permission."
Kyou Fujibayashi didn't make excuses. Her calm eyes gazed at her angry sister, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke, "Ryou, give up!"
One sentence spoke Kyou Fujibayashi's heartfelt thoughts.
Give up!
Give up on Lin Ye!
"Ren Nanase likes him. Your friend likes him."
Sentence after sentence struck Ryou Fujibayashi's heart, causing this slightly pale-faced girl to sit on the chair with a thud.
She felt somewhat powerless.
"Let it end here! It's a good thing for you, and for Miss Nanase."
"..." Ryou Fujibayashi bit her red lip tightly, her eyes revealing a trace of stubborn unwillingness.
She couldn't let go.
"They are just friends going out to play. It was the same on previous weekends."
Upon hearing this, the helplessness between Kyou Fujibayashi's brows became even more obvious.
This sister of hers was deceiving herself now.
"It's fine if you use those words to fool me, but don't fool yourself."
Ryou Fujibayashi could deceive others, but she couldn't deceive her own heart.
"If you really thought that, why did you look like you lost your soul, absent-minded and uncomfortable, after receiving this photo! I am your sister, the twin sister who grew up with you since childhood. How could I not understand you?"
Ryou Fujibayashi lowered her head and looked at the tabletop, her right hand fiddling unconsciously.
Kyou Fujibayashi didn't rush her either.
A few minutes later, the waiter brought the two pork cutlet bowls to the table.
The pork cutlet was fried golden and crispy, garnished with red ketchup. Pickled ginger strips and cucumber served as side dishes. There was also some black sesame on the white rice, and a bowl of miso soup emitting hot steam.
Kyou Fujibayashi's appetite opened up. Having walked all morning, she was long since hungry.
"Eat first! Ryou."
"Mhm."
"Sigh. How about this? Big Sister will help you find a man who is handsome, tall, and provides a sense of security!"
The best way to cure 'heartbreak' is to start a new romance.
Kyou Fujibayashi decided. Finding a man better and more outstanding than Lin Ye for her sister would suffice.
"Sister, you should consider yourself first!"
"Hmph, my little sister's major life event hasn't been determined yet; how can I, as the older sister, go first!"
Ryou Fujibayashi raised her eyes and pouted, saying, "The one I like, you clearly oppose."
"..."
"It's not the same."
"Lin-kun is really very good."
"If he were really very good, he wouldn't be ambiguous with other girls. Who knows what the content of their date is today."
Ryou Fujibayashi felt even worse upon hearing this.
This was also something she was worried about.
She really wanted to go back to Chiba!
The purple short-haired girl lowered her head, eating the pork cutlet bowl with chopsticks.
Kyou Fujibayashi didn't expect to succeed in persuading her sister to let go in one go, but at least there was progress. Lin Ye's date with Ren Nanase today was a thorn stuck in her sister's heart.
A few more thorns, and her sister would be able to let go.
She was grateful to that girl named 'Isami Suzuka'.
*
Ren Nanase stared blankly at the girl waving and greeting her from the distance, her brain falling into a momentary crash.
Why was Suzuka here!
Last time she went to eat at a Wagyu BBQ restaurant with Lin Ye, she ran into Ryou. And this time coming to an Italian restaurant to eat, she ran into another good friend. What kind of situation was this?
Recalling Suzuka's teasing from yesterday, Ren Nanase immediately sprouted the thought of wanting to leave immediately.
"Lin-kun, if you're done eating, let's go!"
"Okay."
Lin Ye thought Ren wanted to leave more time for the afternoon date activities.
He had told the girl in advance and agreed on today's time schedule.
Lin Ye packed up his phone, checked that he hadn't left anything behind, picked up the bill, and went to the cashier to pay.
Ren Nanase followed.
This shocked Isami Suzuka. They don't intend to acknowledge me!
"A woman who forsakes friends for lust."
She ate the last piece of cake on her plate in one bite, then immediately grabbed her black handbag and trotted to catch up.
Clack clack clack... The sound of footsteps rang out continuously.
"Ren, good afternoon!"
Ren Nanase smiled bitterly. In the end, she really couldn't hide.
Sigh.
She sighed lightly.
"Good afternoon, Suzuka. Are you eating here too?"
"Yes, what a coincidence. I chose an Italian restaurant, and unexpectedly ran into Ren eating with your boyfriend's family!"
"Not boyfriend."
"Oh!"
Isami Suzuka dragged out the sound, smiling as she continued, "I'll go pay the bill first. Let's chat more in a bit."
She walked quickly toward the cashier, not giving Ren Nanase a chance to refuse.
Ren Nanase felt increasingly helpless.
At this moment,
Lin Ye finished paying the bill and saw the gray long-haired girl walking over quickly.
He had seen this girl before. That day he was staking out Chiba City Hospital, which was the day he met Ren Nanase, he had even seen the scene of this female nurse undressing and revealing her figure in the changing room.
Suzuka.
He remembered. Ren Nanase's good friend in the original work.
Lin Ye smiled and signaled as a greeting, then walked toward Ren Nanase who was already waiting outside the store.
"Friend?"
"Mhm, my friend from nursing school. Me, Ryou, and Suzuka, the three of us have a very good relationship. After graduation, Suzuka started working at Chiba City Hospital with me."
Lin Ye gained a bit more understanding of the relationship between the two.
Isami Suzuka finished paying the bill and stepped out of the store in her clacking shoes.
"Hello, Boyfriend-kun. I am Isami Suzuka, Ren's good friend."
She took the initiative to greet him, enthusiastic and cheerful, the smile on her face like a spring breeze.
"Hello, I am Lin Ye."
"Eh? A person from Xia Country?"
"Yes."
"Wow! Then in the future, won't Ren have to marry abroad to Xia Country!"
This sentence stabbed fiercely into Ren Nanase's heart again.
Inappropriate age, and future residence.
In an instant, she felt a little lost about the future of the two.
"Don't know yet. But one point that needs correcting is that I am not Ren's boyfriend."
"Really not the boyfriend? I thought Ren was lying to me!"
She looked at Ren Nanase with a teasing look, causing Ren Nanase to speak up again to explain, "Suzuka, what I said yesterday was true."
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll count it as you not lying to me. But the relationship is definitely not ordinary. Otherwise, how could Ren dress up so meticulously to come out on a date with a male!"
She pointed, asking with a hmph, "You can't deny this, right!"
This really couldn't be denied.
"Just... coming out to play."
"Ohoho, when you went shopping with me before, I never saw you dress up so beautifully, Ren."
Ren Nanase was left speechless, unable to find an excuse to explain.
The afternoon sunshine was brilliant, and the breeze brought traces of coolness.
The three walked on the road, chatting while strolling.
Isami Suzuka found quite a few topics, mainly revolving around the relationship and progress between Lin Ye and Ren Nanase.
"Boyfriend-kun—no, it should be future Boyfriend-kun. Yesterday Ren refused to admit the relationship between you two to the death, saying you were just her ordinary friend."
"Mm."
Ren Nanase wanted to explain.
"And then! I directly said Ren should introduce you to me to be my boyfriend, and she immediately refused anxiously in one breath, not giving me a single chance at all, hahahaha..."
"Suzuka."
Ren Nanase tugged at her good friend shyly.
"What I said is true, absolutely no fabrication."
She smiled and continued, "So, add oil. Work hard, and you'll soon be able to successfully pursue my Ren and bring the beauty home."
"Thank you."
Lin Ye looked at Isami Suzuka. He thought of Kyou Fujibayashi; unlike that sister-con Kyou Fujibayashi who constantly guarded against him, the girl in front of him hoped for his success.
"But you aren't allowed to bully Ren. If I find out, I won't let you off."
Isami Suzuka raised her fist and waved it in front of Lin Ye threateningly.
"Lin-kun won't bully me."
"Tsk tsk tsk. Defending him so much before even confirming the relationship. If you marry him, that would be the end of it."
Ren Nanase blushed bright red from the words.
"Haha, alright, you two. I won't disturb you two anymore. I'll go first."
She took the initiative to say goodbye to the two. "Have fun in the afternoon. As for the evening... mm, hahahaha..."
Ren Nanase stomped her foot in shyness. Watching her friend's retreating figure, she was finally relieved of a heavy burden.
If Isami Suzuka continued to stay and not leave, there wouldn't be much time left for her date with Lin Ye.
"Miss Isami is quite a nice person."
"Mhm."
Ren Nanase gave a hum. "Let's go to the seaside! The weather is very good today; let's go for a walk by the sea!"
Lin Ye hailed a taxi and headed to Chiba Beach.
As a coastal city, Chiba had quite a number of beaches.
Over ten minutes later,
The taxi slowly stopped.
Lin Ye and Ren Nanase got out of the car and walked shoulder to shoulder toward the beach.
Here, the sea breeze was stronger, blowing both of their hair into a messy flutter.
A while later,
The golden beach appeared in their field of vision. The azure seawater rippled with a crystalline luster. Tourists in groups of two or three were strolling, and some were playing beach volleyball on the sand, with cheering sounds coming from time to time.
"Haven't been to the seaside in a long time. What about you, Lin-kun?"
"This should count as the first time coming to the seaside in my memory!"
He hadn't been to the seaside in his past life, and he hadn't in this life either. Saying this was completely problem-free.
Ren Nanase's eyes lit up.
Lin-kun's first time would be received by her.
Crunch, crunch...
Lin Ye and Ren Nanase walked along the coastline, stepping on the golden gravel.
"Lin-kun."
"What's wrong?"
"Why not take off the gloves!"
Ren Nanase said.
She was holding hands with Lin Ye walking, but Lin Ye's hand was wearing a glove. Although it was very thin, she felt it lacked a bit of flavor.
It would be best not to wear it. Wearing it felt a bit inferior.
This was her first day holding hands with Lin-kun; he shouldn't be wearing gloves.
"This... you know, if there is direct physical contact, it will..." Lin Ye reminded her embarrassedly.
He didn't want to wear them either, but there was no helping it. This drawback still needed two days to end.
"I know. Actually, today I..."
Under the blowing sea breeze, the girl's white dress fluttered, pure and beautiful.
Her embarrassed appearance as she spoke instantly made Lin Ye think of something.
Lin Ye was shocked. "Ren, you... you didn't go without wearing one, right!"
(╯°Д°)╯︵ ┻━┻
This girl was prepared early on and went directly without wearing one?
So fierce?
Lin Ye subconsciously looked down, and at one point even wanted to use his perspective skill to see if she really wasn't wearing any, but he forcefully held back.
"No, no no no, that's not it!"
Ren Nanase's face flushed red as she denied vigorously. "I wore two pairs. Two pairs. So... even if one is taken away, there is no problem."
Suddenly, Lin Ye understood.
"So that's how it is."
"Don't be regretful and disappointed!"
Ren Nanase pouted, shame constantly welling up.
"I am quite disappointed, truth be told."
"Pervert..."
Under the girl's urging, Lin Ye took off the glove.
He had chosen a light, thin, flesh-colored glove, but wearing it for a long time was ultimately uncomfortable.
After Lin Ye wiped his left hand dry with a tissue, he reached out and held the girl's right hand, fingers interlaced.
Ren Nanase trembled. This wasn't only because of the tactile sensation from her right hand, but also because of the change in sensation in a certain part of her body.
She just opened her mouth preparing to ask Lin Ye to return it, but saw Lin Ye stuff the item into his own pocket.
"Um..."
"Let's go!"
This caused Ren Nanase to not say it in the end.
The two walked hand in hand, fingers interlaced, along the edge of the golden coast.
*
Happy times were always short.
3:15 PM.
Lin Ye's phone rang.
A strange number.
Lin Ye answered it.
"Mr. Lin, I am Yamada. I have set off to pick you up. I wonder where you are right now?"
Lin Ye reported his address, and Yamada quickly confirmed the pickup location.
After ending the call,
Lin Ye discovered that Ren Nanase's mood had dropped quite a bit.
"Ren, time to go back."
"Mm."
She gave a hum.
"Aren't you going to ask what I'm going to do?"
She shook her head. "If Lin-kun wants to say, you will take the initiative to tell me."
This girl, the feeling of a virtuous wife and good mother. That feeling of trust made warmth constantly well up in Lin Ye's heart.
"I was invited to a classmate's home. It should be her mother who wants to see me."
"Her?"
That sounded like a female classmate.
"Mm. I saved her before. Her mother wants to invite me to her home as a guest to express gratitude."
Ren Nanase thought of what the matter was.
It must be in a Strange incident again where Lin-kun saved a girl.
"Lin-kun, pay attention to safety. Saving people is very good, but you must pay attention to safety and protect your own safety."
She looked at Lin Ye full of worry, the hand she was holding adding a trace of tension.
"I will."
Lin Ye answered with a smile.
The two walked to the agreed boarding point.
Five minutes later,
A black sedan slowly stopped.
"Yamada-san, trouble you to go here first. Send my friend home first!"
"You are too polite, Mr. Lin."
Yamada agreed directly. He didn't have any change in reaction after noticing Ren Nanase; instead, he drove with single-minded devotion. He even actively adjusted the position of the rearview mirror to avoid seeing the two in the back row.
On the way.
Ren Nanase was very nervous, and even more worried.
A rich Eldest Miss!
If the girl was also very pretty, would Lin-kun be moved?
She was a little worried. Her good mood from the day was constantly decreasing again.
About twenty minutes later,
The black sedan slowly stopped.
Lin Ye sent Ren Nanase to the downstairs of the apartment building.
"I'll be going first."
"Please wait."
She took two steps, arriving in front of Lin Ye. Pursing her lips, she stood on tiptoes and quickly kissed Lin Ye on the left cheek.
Back at the zoo, Ren Nanase had kissed his right cheek.
"This way, it's fair and equal."
The girl ran away blushing, running into the apartment building.
Lin Ye returned to the back seat of the sedan with a smile.
Driver Yamada said nothing, maintaining silence the whole way.
The vehicle drove smoothly.
Lin Ye admired the scenery along the way.
It had been over half a month since transmigrating, but he had never properly admired the scenery of this city.
"Mr. Lin, we are almost there."
Yamada reminded him.
"Okay."
The vehicle stopped slowly.
Lin Ye got out of the car.
"Yo..."
A familiar greeting sound rang out. It was Haruno Yukinoshita.
Today she was dressed casually in beige leisure clothes and black slim-fit trousers, clean and neat yet highlighting her feminine charm.
"Welcome to the Yukinoshita home, Lin-kun."
"I thought President Yukinoshita would come to receive me!"
"Eh eh, I'm heartbroken. Am I... not good?"
She pointed at herself playfully. "As expected, compared to the older sister, Lin-kun still likes the younger sister more!"
"That sentence of yours is the truth."
"I hate it. I am also a girl; I will be unhappy, you know!"
Haruno extended her hand to guide Lin Ye and walked by Lin Ye's side. The two entered the Yukinoshita residence.
This was a traditional Japanese-style building. Cobblestones lined both sides of the path, and the trimmed fir trees were neat, elegant yet grand.
"As expected of the Yukinoshita family. The old home is just different."
"I'll take that as Lin-kun's praise."
"I didn't have any meaning of mockery."
"Thank you."
But Haruno took two quick steps at this moment, turning around to block in front of Lin Ye. This made Lin Ye stop his steps too.
"What's wrong?"
Haruno leaned in and sniffed vigorously. "Sniff sniff..."
She lifted her eyes to look at Lin Ye. "A girl's perfume scent. Very strong. You spent quite some time together, right!"
The driver definitely sent a message to Haruno.
"You've seen her. The girl from that night we returned to Chiba, Ren Nanase."
"Oh, that pink long-haired cute female nurse. I thought it was the purple short-haired female nurse!"
She smiled. "Really excessive. You clearly agreed to come to my house, yet you went on a date with another girl. If Yukino knew about this, who knows how unhappy she would be."
"President Yukinoshita wouldn't be unhappy because of me."
"You're wrong about that."
She turned around and returned to Lin Ye's side, and the two walked forward again.
"Yukino's expression changed greatly yesterday when she heard you might not come today. If you flaked out, do you know how Yukino planned to take revenge on you?"
Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to take revenge on him?
Probably not! He felt Yukino Yukinoshita shouldn't be that kind of girl who held grudges and sought revenge.
"Drug you."
Lin Ye: ???
"Drug... what drug?"
"Relax, it won't be poison that kills people."
Haruno was very satisfied with this reaction from Lin Ye. "It won't be an aphrodisiac either; Yukino isn't that kind of girl."
"Then it is..."
"Hormones. Hormones that promote pigs to grow faster. Anyway, for a long time afterward, you will have to eat the cuisine made by Yukino. If she secretly adds a little for you, you definitely won't know."
Lin Ye thought of his appearance growing fat and sturdy.
"Isn't this wanting to make me into a dead fat otaku?"
"Hahahaha... A fat otaku Lin-kun must also be very cute!"
She laughed out loud.
"Not at all. At that time, it will definitely be everyone looking at me with disgust."
"Haha, no way. At least I won't. Even if all the girls in the world despise Lin-kun, I won't! Miss Haruno can swear and guarantee this to you here."
Under the reddish sunlight, Haruno had her hands behind her back, her black short hair fluttering. Her smile was brilliant, and her beautiful figure radiated a faint glow.
At this instant,
Even Lin Ye had a moment of palpitation.
This was appreciation and liking for beautiful things.
Setting aside other things, just with Haruno's fine appearance, beautiful figure, and occasional heart-moving words, an ordinary man would have long been teased beyond control and fallen under her pomegranate skirt.
"Say that sentence again when I am destitute and without any value!"
He walked past and patted Haruno's shoulder. "At that time, I will definitely believe you."
"Eh, ay ay! Then it looks like I have no chance. Regrettable. I firmly believe Lin-kun won't be destitute, because I will forever be Lin-kun's staunch supporter. I can be poor to anyone but I can't be poor to Lin-kun!"
Haruno followed with a grin.
Passing through the courtyard, Lin Ye followed Haruno and continued walking.
The wooden floor emitted soft sounds.
A short while later,
Lin Ye was led by Haruno to the parlor.
A mature woman wearing a gray kimono was sitting quietly. The moment Lin Ye and Haruno appeared in the parlor, she stood up and raised a smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Lin."
"You are too polite. You can just call me Lin Ye."
Lin Ye's eyes reflected this mature woman. She was well-maintained, her skin snow-white, her face without a single blemish. Outlined by the kimono, her figure was graceful. Many would believe it if one said she wasn't even thirty yet, but she was already the mother of two girls.
Her eldest daughter was even already attending the second year of Chiba University.
"Then I won't be polite, Lin Ye."
Lin Ye nodded.
Mother Yukinoshita signaled for Lin Ye to sit. "Please sit."
Lin Ye sat down.
"Haruno, call Yukino over!"
"I understand, Mother."
Haruno nodded and left the living room.
Mother Yukinoshita sat down and brewed tea for Lin Ye personally. Her technique was skilled. With splash splash sounds, the tea in the cup filled the air with a clear fragrance.
"Please use."
"Thank you."
Lin Ye lifted the teacup and took a sip. "Very delicious. However, I don't understand tea. The tea I brewed before had a bit of a bitter taste."
"If Lin Ye is interested in brewing tea, Yukino can teach you. My little daughter has a certain level of skill in the art of tea."
This 'certain level' was definitely quite outstanding!
Lin Ye remembered that apart from existing severe defects in physical stamina, Yukino Yukinoshita was 'excellent' in all other aspects.
"I will definitely ask President Yukinoshita for advice if there is a chance."
He drank another mouthful.
"Both Haruno and Yukino have been in your care. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with them."
"It is Miss Haruno and President Yukinoshita who have taken care of me and borne with me."
Mother Yukinoshita smiled and lifted the teapot to refill the tea for Lin Ye.
And outside,
Clack clack clack... soft footsteps could be heard.
Haruno entered first.
Followed by Yukino Yukinoshita.
The moment she appeared, Lin Ye was stunned.
In his field of vision,
The girl's black long hair was rolled up and tied with a hairpin. Her face was even more exquisite and fair. An elegant kimono with a purple dominant tone and white tulip flowers outlined her slender and shapely figure.
She lowered her head slightly, appearing shy, but Lin Ye felt it was more helplessness.
Stunning!
The girl at this moment gave a completely different feeling from when she was in the Sobu High school uniform.
This was the first time Lin Ye saw Yukino Yukinoshita wearing a kimono.
It was an unexpected delight.
He hadn't expected that for the visit today, Yukino Yukinoshita would actually dress up specifically.
This woman definitely wouldn't wear a kimono specifically on her own.
So, this was likely... Mother Yukinoshita's request!
The one sitting opposite him, she wouldn't be truly planning to finalize his and Yukino Yukinoshita's marriage today, right!
Lin Ye felt it was increasingly possible.
But he had expected all this long ago.
Lin Ye had already prepared corresponding coping strategies.
Today, an interesting drama of a stubborn daughter refusing a majestic mother was about to be staged.
