Chapter 127
The girl with pink hair buns walked with heavy steps to Lin Ye. At this moment, she had less of her usual weakness and more firmness and anger, as if Lin Ye had done something to wrong her.
"What's wrong?"
"Yesterday, yesterday..."
Yui Yuigahama clenched her fists, feeling suffocated and anxious, and there was a faint mist in her eyes, looking like she was sad and about to cry at any moment.
"Lin-kun and Yukinoshita-san clearly arrived at the Chiba mall first, went to find Sable first, and even encountered an attack by wild dogs. Since such a serious thing happened, why, why didn't you tell me? Aren't we partners who agreed to meet up and search together? Could, could it be that... because I'm not a member of the Service Club, so so..."
Exclusion,
Yui Yuigahama felt the rejection from Lin Ye and Yukinoshita Yukino. She clearly wanted to integrate into this group and become a member of it.
But yesterday's reality gave her a blow to the head, making her realize how superfluous her thoughts were.
This group didn't need her to join at all; she was superfluous.
"Yuigahama-san, don't overthink it."
"I, I didn't overthink it."
You definitely overthought it; you're almost crying, and you call that not overthinking?
"Yukinoshita and I arrived first, so we searched first. And not telling you about this was also because we didn't want you to worry. After all, we really encountered an attack by wild dogs, and it's easy for you to overthink."
"I, I didn't."
"Oh! Do you really mean that?"
Seeing Lin Ye's finger pointing at her face, Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, and a look of shame and embarrassment appeared on her face.
She had indeed overthought it.
"Since you didn't overthink it, that's even better. Our Service Club has also completed your request. I wonder if Yuigahama-san is satisfied?"
"Satisfied. If you hadn't hidden it from me, I would be even more satisfied."
She emphasized.
She now also knew that Lin Ye and Yukinoshita's purpose in hiding it was so that she wouldn't have unnecessary worries, but she just wasn't happy.
"Go find President Yukinoshita to settle the score; it has nothing to do with me."
"Lin-kun is really cunning."
Yui Yuigahama showed a little smile at this time.
"Alright, it's about time. The president isn't here either, so the Service Club is ending early today. I'm preparing to go back,"
"Are you going to visit Yukinoshita-san?"
The girl with pink hair buns stared at Lin Ye like a curious baby.
"Going back to the apartment to rest."
"Oh!"
She was a bit disappointed; she seemed very much to want to visit Yukinoshita Yukino.
"I don't know where she lives."
"I know, I got the address from Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei."
Lin Ye understood; this girl in front of him hoped that he would accompany her to Yukinoshita Yukino's place.
But he knew that the person Yukinoshita Yukino least wanted to see was him.
"I won't go. Yuigahama-san, you go by yourself!"
"But if I'm the only one, Yukinoshita-san won't see me, right!"
If you take me with you, she won't see you even more.
Lin Ye comforted her, "She will. Don't look at Yukinoshita's cold exterior; she is actually very gentle. If you go to visit her, she will definitely be willing to see you, I guarantee it."
Under Lin Ye's guarantee and encouragement, Yui Yuigahama decided to go alone, and before they parted at the school gate, she issued another invitation to Lin Ye.
"Lin-kun, why don't you come with me? I, I'm still a bit worried alone."
The girl with pink hair buns was still a bit worried, her heart uneasy.
"You can do it, come on."
In the end, Lin Ye didn't agree, and Yui Yuigahama reluctantly accepted and said goodbye to Lin Ye before leaving.
Lin Ye watched the red-orange sunset gradually setting and headed towards his residence.
Today,
he would just walk to the apartment!
Arriving at the entrance of the luxurious and tall apartment, Yui Yuigahama felt even more psychological pressure.
She dialed Yukinoshita Yukino's phone, and the 'beep' sound was unusually long.
"Hello, hello!"
"It's me, Yui Yuigahama, Yukinoshita-san."
"Is there something wrong, Yuigahama-san?"
She had received a text message from Lin Ye saying 'Sable has been found', and the request should be over.
"I, I want to visit you, because you were frightened because of my business."
Yui Yuigahama's tone was full of apology, and Yukinoshita Yukino immediately thought that Lin Ye had told Yui Yuigahama about the attack yesterday.
There was no need to say such things.
"I'm fine, it's over, so there's no need to come visit me specially. I appreciate your intentions."
"I'm already downstairs at the apartment building where you live."
Yukinoshita Yukino was silent.
How did Yui Yuigahama find this place? Could it be that Lin Ye told her? But how did Lin Ye know her address?
"Come up! Sixteenth floor."
Soon,
the door at the entrance opened automatically, and Yui Yuigahama immediately walked in, went to the elevator, and pressed the button for the sixteenth floor.
Yukinoshita Yukino calculated the time, opened the apartment door, and came to the entrance to welcome this visiting guest.
"Wait..."
"Lin Ye isn't coming too, right!"
This possibility was very high!
At this moment, the elevator door opened, Yukinoshita was startled, and subconsciously turned around, wanting to run back.
"Yukinoshita... san?"
Yui Yuigahama was confused; why did Yukinoshita-san look so scared?
Was it an illusion?
"It's okay, come this way."
Not seeing Lin Ye, Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief.
That guy didn't come.
And when they arrived in the living room, Yukinoshita Yukino poured a cup of tea for Yui Yuigahama, who was sitting on the sofa, and prepared cookies and apples.
"Thank you."
Yui Yuigahama thanked her and picked up the tea, blowing on it gently.
After a while, she took the initiative to ask about Yukinoshita's physical condition.
"I'm fine, you don't need to worry."
"Mhm, mhm, I was scared to death after hearing about it from Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei."
Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned, only then realizing that she had misunderstood Lin Ye.
"What else did Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei say?"
"That you and Lin-kun didn't tell her about such an important matter immediately, completely ignoring her as an advisor."
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but imagine the scene of Shizuka Hiratsuka being furious, and although that teacher complained, she was still worried about her safety.
"Just didn't want you to worry."
"..."
Yui Yuigahama wanted to say something but stopped, finally holding it back.
"Thank you, Yukinoshita-san, and Lin-kun for your help. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have found Sable,"
"It was you and Lin Ye who found it; it has nothing to do with me. The person you should thank most is Lin Ye."
