Chapter 336

Compensation—could it be that Lin Ye did something bad to Yukino? But if it were something bad, why would Yukino be the one preparing a bento for Lin Ye?

The dango girl's head was spinning, completely unable to understand the cause and effect of the situation.

"Dango..."

Yuigahama Yui tilted her head, stunned.

What dango? Was he referring to her hairstyle?

"Ahem, Yuigahama-san, I hope you can keep this a secret. If it gets out, I personally don't mind—my skin is thick enough—but it would inevitably affect Yukinoshita-san."

Yukino wouldn't say this, so he would be the one to say it for her.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't talk about it. I will strictly keep the secret and won't let anyone else know."

Yuigahama Yui made repeated assurances.

As Yukino and Lin Ye began to eat their lunch, Yuigahama Yui looked at the dishes in her own bento box and felt they were a little unsatisfactory.

Although the bento her mother made was delicious, she really wanted to taste the cooking Yukino made.

She believed that if word got out that Lin Ye could eat Yukino's cooking, countless boys would howl with envy.

She, Yuigahama Yui, was envious too!

After school,

Yuigahama Yui finished tidying her desk and left the classroom after saying goodbye to her friends, Miura Yumiko and the others.

"Yumiko, Yui hasn't been hanging out with us much lately."

The bespectacled girl with a scholarly air looked in the direction where Yuigahama Yui had disappeared.

The blonde Miura Yumiko didn't think much of it. "Maybe she's busy with something."

"Hmm."

"I heard a new dessert shop opened on the shopping street today. Hina, let's go check it out together!"

"Okay."

The two girls left the classroom together.

Miura Yumiko really wanted to call Hayama, but the problem was that Hayama was training with the soccer club today, and since the start of the week, she had felt that Hayama's state was off; he had been wearing a troubled expression.

She had asked him directly, but Hayama just smiled and said everything was fine. However, as someone who had always been paying attention to Hayama, how could Miura Yumiko not see the insincerity in his words?

After leaving Sobu High and heading toward the shopping street, Miura Yumiko asked Ebina Hina, "Hina, what do you think I should do to find out what's on Hayama's mind?"

"..."

Ebina Hina fell silent.

She knew all too well how difficult that was.

"Yumiko, why don't you consider how to make Hayama-kun feel better instead?"

This was a roundabout way of saying there was no way.

Miura Yumiko also knew the difficulty, so she thought about it and nodded, temporarily accepting this.

The two entered the train station and waited for the train to arrive.

Yuigahama Yui arrived at the Service Club and found that Yukinoshita Yukino was already there.

"Let's go to the cooking classroom."

Today was the day she had promised to teach Yuigahama Yui how to make cookies.

"Um... don't we need to wait for Lin-kun?"

Yuigahama Yui looked for the last member of the Service Club who hadn't appeared yet.

"No need. He told me he's going to the rooftop after school to meet a girl, so he won't be participating in the Service Club's activities today."

He's really going?

Isn't he afraid Yukino will be unhappy?

Yuigahama Yui was very clear about the school gossip, especially the fact that Lin Ye had confessed to Yukino multiple times, which she remembered vividly.

Could it be... that Lin Ye had already given up on liking and pursuing Yukino?

"What's wrong?"

"Should we... go take a look?"

"That wouldn't be appropriate."

At this, Yuigahama Yui said "Hmm" and followed Yukinoshita Yukino toward the cooking classroom.

Yukinoshita Yukino had already made an appointment with Hiratsuka-sensei to use the cooking classroom and had obtained the key.

After opening the door and entering, Yukino began the preparations. Yuigahama Yui offered to help, but her clumsy, flour-scattering performance gave Yukino a bad premonition.

"I'll handle it. Yuigahama-san, don't be in such a rush or so nervous. Cookies only need to be made step by step; the taste won't be particularly good, but it won't be terrible either."

"Mm-hmm-hmm."

The pink dango girl nodded vigorously.

Lin Ye arrived at the rooftop as promised.

However, when he opened the rooftop door, he didn't see the girl he had expected.

"Not here yet?"

He had arrived early.

Lin Ye looked around to confirm that the sender of the letter hadn't arrived yet.

He walked to the railing and looked down at Sobu High.

On the sports field,

The boys, having changed into sportswear, were shouting and playing soccer. Lin Ye saw a familiar figure.

Hayama.

The famous handsome guy of Sobu High, a "real-life winner."

Just like in the original story, he was still alone.

"If he wanted to find someone to date, I don't know how simple that would be."

That was the benefit of being handsome.

Of course, Hayama was not only handsome and good-natured, but he was also the ace of the soccer club; these points alone were enough to make him popular with girls at Sobu High, not to mention his family background was also good, making him a "multi-faceted warrior" in the marriage market.

*Click... *

The rooftop door behind him opened.

Lin Ye didn't turn around immediately. He waited until the door closed again before turning to look.

In an instant,

His eyes widened in surprise.

He had thought of Isshiki, but he hadn't expected the sender to be Tachibana Rui.

But seeing that the person who had come was Tachibana Rui, Lin Ye also felt it was quite normal for her to have sent the letter.

"Tachibana-san, is there something you need by asking me to come to the rooftop?"

The blue-haired girl in her Sobu High uniform walked over step by step and stopped two meters away from Lin Ye.

"I want to ask about something related to my sister."

Her voice was very calm, without much fluctuation.

But being alone with this girl always made Lin Ye think of the first scene of the original work.

He had watched so many normal anime, and the opening of this one could be considered explosive.

But the "lewdness"—he liked it.

In his previous life, when he watched the first episode, that was his exact thought.

"You're the teacher's sister; you should know more than I do, right?"

"About what happened last night."

Tachibana Haruna hadn't explained it?

An oversight.

Seeing that Tachibana Haruna hadn't sent him any follow-up messages, Lin Ye had assumed she had handled it properly, but now he realized his judgment had been wrong.
