Being pulled into the warehouse and then pinned against the corner.
These two actions alone were enough to make a girl's imagination run wild and conjure up a whole bunch of storylines.
Like a forced kiss or something.
Yoko Okino was at the age of being prone to fantasies, and she often came into contact with TV dramas, so she inevitably went in that direction.
This made her suddenly shy, and her heart beat faster.
Yoko Okino subconsciously put her hands on her chest to protect herself, and her speech became a little awkward.
"You... you... what do you want to do? Don't... don't mess around. I'll... I'll scream, I really will scream..."
"It's not what I want to do... it's what you want to do that matters."
Lin Yi saw that it was about time, so he retracted his hand, folded his arms, and leaned against the wall, saying, "Also... eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good thing, Miss Yoko."
After Lin Yi took his hand away, Yoko Okino finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then inevitably felt a little disappointed—things didn't develop according to the script she had imagined.
"Don't call me Miss Yoko anymore... it sounds too distant." Yoko Okino said with a smile, "My friends all call me Yoko... you can call me Yoko too."
"Alright... Yoko." Lin Yi didn't become happy because of the change in address. He said, "Just now--"
Yoko Okino interrupted Lin Yi, "Then what should I call you?"
"Just call me Lin Yi... that's what my friends call me." Lin Yi tried to get back to the previous topic: "Just now you--"
"Lin Yi? Is that your real name? It's only two characters... that's rare." Yoko Okino interrupted Lin Yi again.
Lin Yi noticed Yoko Okino's playful side. The more he wanted to bring the topic back, the more she refused to go in that direction.
So Lin Yi leaned in and reached out to 'wall slam' Yoko Okino again.
Knowing that Lin Yi wouldn't do anything to her, Yoko Okino always subconsciously shrank back, but behind her was the wall, so she could only stick her head to the wall and blinked at him.
"That's not important..." Lin Yi said for the third time: "What's important is what you heard just now..."
This time, Yoko Okino finally didn't interrupt Lin Yi.
"Oh yes, I heard it very clearly..." Yoko Okino smiled, "Actually, the murder case was your deduction, right? Mr. Mouri only provided suggestions, right?"
"No, you've got it exactly backwards... I'm only responsible for proposing hypotheses, and Uncle Mouri is responsible for verifying them."
Lin Yi said word by word, which made his words seem even less credible.
"Is that so? Is that how it is?"
Yoko Okino smiled and nodded, then turned to leave, saying, "Then I'll just go ask Mr. Mouri... he wouldn't lie to me."
Lin Yi grabbed her shoulder and pressed her back.
This made the smile on Yoko Okino's face even brighter, and she smiled even more smugly.
Lin Yi seemed to have a headache. He rubbed his temples and then said, "Yoko... you see, we're friends now, and since we're friends, you should help me keep those things you heard just now a secret, right?"
"Well… that's not necessarily true."
Yoko Okino gave that answer.
"Then, what would it take… for you to keep this a secret?" Lin Yi said, "frowning."
"Hmm? You're frowning? Do you think I'm being excessive?" Yoko Okino saw Lin Yi's frown and immediately pointed at it.
"No… I was just thinking about the murder." Lin Yi quickly smoothed out his brow.
Yoko Okino happily clasped her hands together: "If you want me to help you keep this a secret… it's not impossible, it depends on your performance."
"Depends on my performance?" Lin Yi thought "seriously" for a moment, then quickly said: "Then… I'll give you hush money?"
"Hush money?" Yoko Okino pouted and retorted: "I'm a big star now… do you think I'm short on money?"
"I actually think you are short on money… otherwise, why would you have so many engagements to rush to? You don't even have time for lunch." Lin Yi replied.
"…"
Yoko Okino didn't know how to retort, she huffed and said: "I don't see any sincerity from you! I might as well go ask Mr. Mouri."
After speaking, she turned and tried to walk away.
Lin Yi "definitely" couldn't let her leave, so he grabbed her shoulder again and pushed her back.
"Okay, okay…" Lin Yi said with a "helpless" expression: "Sincerity, huh… let me think… hmm…"
Looking at Lin Yi's expression of racking his brains, Yoko Okino pursed her lips smugly.
"Then… I'll accompany you shopping?" Lin Yi tentatively suggested.
"Shopping?" Yoko Okino shook her head: "No, I'm a big star. If I'm seen shopping with a member of the opposite sex, I'll be in big trouble, change it… change it."
"This won't work either… then let me think again." Lin Yi "frowned" and thought deeply again.
Yoko Okino also enjoyed Lin Yi's expression of racking his brains, or rather, she enjoyed the process of Lin Yi thinking about how to bribe her.
"You're a star… you can't appear in public places, then… I'll just book a restaurant for you to have a meal? Or book an amusement park at night and let you play as you please?" Lin Yi inadvertently showed off his wealth.
Lin Yi's words did surprise Yoko Okino quite a bit. She didn't expect Lin Yi to be so generous, booking a place on the spot without hesitation, which made her curiously say: "Are you… very rich?"
"Not much, but not too little either." Lin Yi smiled and continued to ask: "How about this suggestion?"
"Not good… and if the amusement park isn't lively, it's not interesting to go." Yoko Okino shook her head, still rejecting the suggestion.
Lin Yi said helplessly: "How about this… I'll just buy groceries and go to your house, then cook you a meal."
"That's a good idea…" Yoko Okino's eyes lit up immediately, she clapped her hands and said: "It's settled then! You come to my house and cook me something delicious, and I promise to keep it a secret for you!"
"This… you're a star, it's not very convenient for me to go directly to your house." Lin Yi "reminded" her.
"It's okay, I just moved, they don't know where I live."
Yoko Okino indicated that Lin Yi didn't need to worry about these things, she even picked up her phone and handed it to Lin Yi: "Give me your phone number, I'll send you an address later, and when I'm free, I'll ask you to come over and cook for me…"
Lin Yi hesitated for a while, but finally took the phone: "Okay…"
