Chapter 243

The pink-haired girl took heavy steps as she walked up to Lin Ye. At this moment, she lacked her usual weakness and had gained a touch of firmness and anger, as if Lin Ye had done something to wrong her.

"What's wrong?"

"Yesterday, yesterday..."

Yui Yuigahama clenched her fists, feeling stifled and anxious, while a faint mist of water appeared in her eyes, looking like a sad person ready to shed tears at any moment.

"Lin-kun and Yukinoshita-san clearly arrived at the Chiba mall first, clearly went to look for Sable first, and even, even encountered a stray dog attack. Even though such a serious thing happened, why, why didn't you tell me? Everyone, isn't everyone partners who promised to meet up and search together? Co, could it be that because I... am not a Service Club member, so, so..."

Exclusion.

Yui Yuigahama felt the rejection from Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita. She clearly wanted to integrate into this group and become a member of it.

But yesterday's reality gave her a head-on blow, making her realize how superfluous her thoughts were.

This group didn't need her to join at all; she was redundant.

"Yuigahama-san, don't overthink it."

"I, I am not overthinking it."

You are definitely overthinking it; you're about to cry. Is this what you call not overthinking?

"Yukino and I arrived first, so we searched first. Not telling you about this matter was also because we didn't want you to worry. After all, we really did encounter a stray dog attack, and you are prone to overthinking."

"I, I am not."

"Oh! Do you really believe that yourself?"

Seeing Lin Ye's finger pointing at her face, Yui Yuigahama lowered her head, a blush of shame and embarrassment appearing on her cheeks.

She was indeed overthinking it.

"Since you're not overthinking 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 knew that Lin Ye and Yukino's purpose in hiding it was so she wouldn't have unnecessary worries, but she just wasn't happy.

"Go settle the score with Club President Yukinoshita; it has nothing to do with me."

"Lin-kun is really cunning."

Yui Yuigahama actually showed a slight smile at this moment.

"Alright, the time is about right, and the president isn't here, so the Service Club is ending early today. I'm planning to go back."

"Are you going to visit Yukinoshita-san?"

The pink-haired girl stared at Lin Ye like a curious baby.

"Going back to my apartment to rest."

"Oh!"

She felt a bit disappointed; she seemed to really want to visit Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I don't know where she lives."

"I know. I got the address from Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka."

Lin Ye understood; this girl in front of him hoped he would accompany her to Yukino Yukinoshita's place.

But he knew that Yukino Yukinoshita was the person least willing to see him.

"I won't go. Yuigahama-san, you go by yourself!"

"But if it's just me, Yukinoshita-san won't see me, right?"

If you bring me along, she definitely won't see you.

Lin Ye comforted her, "She will. Don't look at Yukino'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 parting at the school gate, she issued an invitation to Lin Ye once again.

"Lin-kun, why don't you come with me? I, I'm still a bit worried by myself."

The pink-haired girl was still a bit worried, her heart filled with anxiety.

"You can do it, keep it up."

In the end, Lin Ye did not agree. Yui Yuigahama accepted it unwillingly, greeted Lin Ye, and left.

Lin Ye watched the red-orange sunset gradually sinking in the west and headed toward his residence.

Today,

he would just walk to his apartment!

……

Arriving at the entrance of the luxurious, tall apartment building, Yui Yuigahama felt even more psychological pressure.

She dialed Yukino Yukinoshita's phone; the 'beep, beep, beep' sound was exceptionally long.

"Hello, hello!"

"It's me, Yui Yuigahama, Yukinoshita-san."

"Is there something the matter, 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 it was my matter that caused you to be frightened."

Yui Yuigahama's tone was full of apology. As soon as Yukino Yukinoshita heard this, she thought that Lin Ye had told Yui Yuigahama about the attack yesterday.

There was no need to talk about such things.

"I'm doing quite well, I'm fine, so there's no need to make a special trip to visit me. I appreciate your intentions."

"I'm already downstairs at the apartment building where you live."

Yukino Yukinoshita was silent.

How did Yui Yuigahama find this place? Could it be that Lin Ye told her? But how did Lin Ye know the location of her residence?

"Come on up, 16th floor."

Soon,

the door at the entrance opened automatically. Yui Yuigahama walked in immediately and pressed the elevator button for the 16th floor.

Yukino Yukinoshita estimated the time, opened her apartment door, and came to the entrance to welcome this visiting guest.

"Wait..."

"Lin Ye isn't coming too, is he!"

This possibility was very high!

At this moment, the elevator door opened. Yukino was startled and subconsciously turned around, wanting to run back.

"Yukinoshita... -san?"

Yui Yuigahama was bewildered. Why did Yukinoshita-san look so scared?

Was it an illusion?

"It's nothing, come this way."

Not seeing Lin Ye, Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief.

That guy didn't come.

Arriving in the living room, Yukino Yukinoshita 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 Yukino's physical condition.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"Mm-hmm, I was scared to death after hearing about it from Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka."

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned, only then realizing she had misunderstood Lin Ye.

"What else did Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka say?"

"That such an important matter, you and Lin-kun didn't even tell her immediately, completely disregarding her as an advisor."

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but imagine the scene of Shizuka Hiratsuka being furious and angry. Although that teacher complained, she was still worried about her safety.

"I just didn't want you all 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." ===== CHAPTER 244 =====
