Chapter 141: This Man Feels a Bit Special [5th Update]

Barbecue restaurant,

Lin Ye was eating barbecue, enjoying the deliciousness on his tongue, and seeing that Qilai Ren hadn't recovered yet, he took the initiative to ask.

"Unhappy things can be said; I don't mind being a listener."

He grilled the beef.

"No,"

"Then eat the barbecue properly; if you don't eat, I'm going to finish it."

Qilai Ren then discovered that half of the barbecue on the grill was gone.

"Eat quickly,"

Lin Ye used tongs to pick up the barbecue and put it on Qilai Ren's plate, urging the girl to eat quickly.

Qilai Ren said 'mm' and started eating with her head down.

Lin Ye knew she had something on her mind.

A few minutes later,

Qilai Ren spoke in a low voice,

"Lin-kun, actually, she is my friend from nursing school."

"Oh, I know,"

Qilai Ren tilted her head, revealing a confused expression.

"Is it that you and her were fighting for favor in nursing school, and in the end, the man you liked was snatched away by her? Now her appearance has hooked out your past painful memories of failure. Women, sigh!"

Lin Ye sighed, and with one chopstick, he sent the barbecue covered in fragrant sauce into his mouth.

This taste, indeed, was okay.

Expensive also had its reasons; the texture was completely different from ordinary beef, and even he could taste the difference.

"How, how could there be such a thing! I don't have a boy I like at all; she... she doesn't either, but now I don't know if she has one."

Qilai Ren explained in a flurry.

"Since that's the case, what's there to be sad about? Your relationship isn't good."

"Very good,"

"Very good? Then wouldn't friends meeting again be even happier? Who are you showing that sad face to?"

Soon,

Qilai Ren stated her reason: they agreed to contact her actively when coming to Chiba, but the person came to Chiba and didn't contact her; did she hate her?

This surprised Lin Ye.

Just because of this conjecture?

Women, the thought process is indeed a bit different. Qilai Ren thought too much.

"Maybe she didn't want to trouble you,"

"What's there to fear about trouble between friends? Does Lin-kun fear friends coming to trouble you?"

"Then it's wanting to give you a surprise."

This... seems... possible.

Qilai Ren pursed her lips and fell into thought.

"Don't have a headache, go ask directly; if you're embarrassed, I'll go,"

After speaking,

Lin Ye made a move to stand up, but Qilai Ren hurriedly stopped him.

"Lin-kun, wait... wait, let's go over after we finish eating."

Lin Ye thought about it and agreed.

This barbecue was a bit rushed, but there would be another meal; Lin Ye remembered.

Qilai Ren took a deep breath and stood up, preparing to walk toward Fujibayashi Muku's seat, only to see the Fujibayashi sisters also stand up.

The two looked at each other, seemingly realizing each other's thoughts, and smiled knowingly.

The gloom in Qilai Ren's heart lessened by more than half; she felt it must be her overthinking.

Subsequently,

"Ren."

"Muku, welcome to Chiba."

"Mm, mm, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Is this your boyfriend? Boyfriend-kun, good evening!"

Fujibayashi Muku greeted with slight nervousness,

Her introverted and weak personality had changed to a certain extent; at least now she dared to greet people she met for the first time, it was just that every time she spoke, there was a kind of weak and soft feeling.

"No, no, Lin Ye isn't my boyfriend, he is... my friend."

Qilai Ren explained anxiously, but Fujibayashi Muku looked back and forth, remembering the scene where Lin Ye fed Qilai Ren, and felt that her good friend Qilai Ren was shy and unwilling to admit it.

"I understand."

"Really not, really, believe me."

Qilai Ren almost wanted to hug her to explain.

However, when the few were about to introduce themselves, the waiter came to remind them.

So the four went to the cashier to pay the bill first.

Toward Qilai Ren paying the bill, Lin Ye was calm, without any special reaction.

However, this meal was indeed quite expensive, 29,000 yen; Qilai Ren really went all out, a big bleed.

"Welcome guests to come again next time."

Under the waiter's send-off, the four left the barbecue restaurant and walked on the street.

Deep night sky, little stars twinkling, faint light sprinkling on the earth, adding a sense of mystery and silence to the sparsely populated street.

Qilai Ren started the introduction first,

"This is my friend Lin Ye,"

"Hello! I'm Lin Ye."

Lin Ye greeted the twin sisters.

In his previous life, he really hadn't encountered identical twin sisters in daily life, let alone high-value twin sisters.

"This is my classmate from nursing school, Muku, Fujibayashi Muku, and this is Muku's twin sister Fujibayashi Kyou; beautiful, right! These are all beautiful girls, always having many pursuers."

"Ren, don't say that."

Fujibayashi Muku shyly shook Qilai Ren's arm, and then she greeted Lin Ye, "Hello,"

And Fujibayashi Kyou just nodded to indicate a greeting.

Only at this time, all three noticed the change in Lin Ye's expression.

"Lin-kun, what's wrong?"

"Is Fujibayashi-san from a small town called Koubata?"

"Eh, eh, eh! Lin Ye-kun, you know Koubata town!"

It really was!

At this moment, Lin Ye was completely certain.

Didn't expect that even the female lead of the work "Clannad" would appear in this world.

Thinking back to those years, how much he liked the work "Clannad"; it was already 2024 in his previous life, 17 years since "Clannad" was broadcast, and he didn't know how many people still remembered this work.

"Heard of it, I even thought about going to Koubata to attend high school before!"

"Eh, this... if that's the case, my sister and I would have become your seniors; it's... seniors, right!"

Fujibayashi Muku wasn't quite sure of Lin Ye's age.

"Yes, seniors."

Lin Ye confirmed,

"I want to ask if Fujibayashi-san knows Sakagami Tomoyo-san!"

"Sakagami-student council president? Know her, at that time there was no one in school who didn't know her; she was the student council president of Koubata High School when we were in our third year of high school. Lin Ye knows her too?" ===== CHAPTER 142 =====
