Chapter 1041: Haruno

Seeing Lin Ye's stunned reaction, Haruno inwardly sighed at her own wit for not directly informing him of Yukino's decision.

This counted as recovering a little bit of favor.

"Lin-kun, look, I did all of this to test Yukino's favor and feelings for you."

Yes,

this was all for the sake of testing.

"Look, I even told Yukino we were breaking up, said I was going to find other girls to be my girlfriend, including Yuigahama Yui, Isshiki Iroha, Shiromeguri Meguri, and even myself."

"Under such circumstances, Yukino still didn't agree to break up."

"She still wants to maintain a lover relationship with you; you can see how deep her favor for you is."

As she spoke, Haruno's self-confidence returned, and she held her head high. "For you, I risked everything. Now the result is good; Yukino's feelings and favor for you are deeper than we imagined."

"Yukino is unwilling to break up with you."

"And you, my dear Lin-kun,"

"can now even more blatantly find other girls to flirt with, and Yukino can only watch silently, unable to stop you in the capacity of a girlfriend or fiancée."

"Be happy! Be joyful! Be delighted!"

As she spoke, Haruno raised her hands and cheered.

Watching Haruno use his own body to make such gestures in his field of vision, Lin Ye felt a wave of discomfort.

"Stand still."

"Eh?"

"Don't think I'll believe this nonsense of yours."

"But this is the truth!"

She said as if it were a matter of course.

"If I believe you, I'll be damned."

"It is true that Yukino refuses to break up; it's truer than real gold."

The credibility of this statement was still very high.

But why would Yukino do this?

Lin Ye had an explanation.

That was that Yukino had already discovered the problem, had already discovered that his body had been occupied by someone else. As for whether she discovered it was Haruno, he couldn't be entirely certain.

"Haruno, Yukino has already discovered that you aren't me."

Lin Ye voiced his guess.

"This... is impossible."

Haruno subconsciously denied it. "I was following your speaking style as much as possible, and besides, who could imagine that another person's consciousness would occupy your body?"

"Yukino knows about this new ability of mine; I told her, and I even tested it with her."

Things had reached this point, so there was no need to continue hiding it from Haruno.

Haruno was stunned.

She had told Yukino about such things; compared to Yukino, shouldn't she have told her instead? Wouldn't it have been better to test it with her?

At this moment,

Haruno had a feeling of having lost to her younger sister. This sense of frustration made her uncomfortable, and her heart felt blocked.

From childhood to adulthood, she had always been more outstanding than her sister, but in the eyes of this man, she seemed not to compare to her sister at all.

They had clearly gone to the Aocheng casino together, had clearly shared a bed, and had clearly shared common secrets, but why, why was Lin Ye still unable to trust her more?

Was it because of her procrastination in searching for 'Yuuki Asuna'?

For a moment,

Haruno thought of many things.

Rational thinking decreased significantly at this time, leaving only instinctive emotional thoughts.

"You aren't deliberately lying to me, are you?"

"Why would I lie to you? Does it have meaning?"

That was true.

Haruno's last bit of wishful thinking vanished.

Her status in Lin Ye's heart was completely different from Yukino's.

Thinking about it carefully, this was not a problem at all.

Yukino was the girl Lin Ye truly liked, while her acquaintance with Lin Ye was destined to be entangled with interests.

There was an essential difference between the two; who would like a girl mixed with interests!

Haruno smiled bitterly.

From the very beginning, she had chosen the wrong path. She felt a bit of regret, but after calming down and analyzing it rationally, she accepted it calmly.

There was nothing to say about this.

She, Yukinoshita Haruno, was definitely not the kind of woman to wallow in regret.

"So, has Yukino already guessed it's me?"

Haruno recalled everything.

"I don't think the possibility is high. She shouldn't have guessed it's me. If she knew the person in your body was me, she should have said so directly, and if it were someone else, she should have kept her distance from me in time."

However,

Haruno also thought of another possibility, which was that Yukino deliberately pretended not to recognize her for the sake of safety.

In a situation where it was unclear whether the consciousness occupying Lin Ye's body was good or bad, Yukino exposing and pointing it out would only put herself in a dangerous situation.

Therefore,

Haruno leaned more toward the idea that Yukino was unaware.

Lin Ye didn't have complete certainty either, but regardless, Yukino had firmly refused Haruno's breakup attempt, which was a good thing.

"Go in, come with me to explain."

"..."

Haruno hesitated. "How about I wait outside, and when you call me, I'll go in?"

Lin Ye didn't refuse.

Subsequently, Haruno successfully opened the entrance door lock using the password, and the two successfully entered.

Lin Ye stood in front of Yukino's bedroom.

'Dong dong dong...' The sound of knocking on the door rang out,

but there was no response.

"Yukino, open the door, I want to explain to you."

But there was still no sound from inside the room.

"Yukino, if you don't open the door, I'm going to force my way in."

The door lock was already closed.

But soon, Lin Ye saw Haruno find the key from a corner of the living room.

Sure enough, how could this woman not hide the key to Yukino's bedroom!

'Click...'

After the key was inserted, Lin Ye successfully opened the bedroom door.
