Chapter 340

~6 min read 1,014 words

Ryou still needs your protection; you absolutely cannot fall here.

Believe in yourself, you can definitely do it.

Left hand or right hand.

Kyou Fujibayashi looked back and forth and made her choice.

"Right hand."

The little boy opened his right hand; it was empty, with no trace of candy.

Kyou Fujibayashi felt a wave of dizziness.

She lost; she guessed wrong both times.

"Teacher, it's not in the left hand either!"

At this moment, the pale little boy opened his left hand with a brilliant smile; there was no candy in that hand either.

Kyou Fujibayashi widened her eyes.

At this moment, she realized she had been tricked!

"Unfair, how could it be possible to guess correctly? No one could guess correctly, absolutely no one could guess correctly."

Two choices, and both options were wrong. How was she supposed to guess correctly and make the right choice?

She didn't believe anyone could guess correctly.

"Someone did guess correctly!"

The pale little boy smiled brilliantly.

"My friend lost to him, lost three games in a row! Didn't win even once,"

Kyou Fujibayashi didn't know if it was true or not, but compared to that, she knew even more about the desperate situation she was facing.

The shadows of fear and death were enveloping her.

Facing the smiling little boy, she felt absolutely no warmth.

"Teacher, next, please come with me! Let's go to that world that belongs to us."

'Clatter...'

Kyou Fujibayashi took a step back and bumped into a desk in the classroom.

She wanted to run,

but,

the classroom door was tightly closed,

and she knew she couldn't escape at all.

"Teacher, be obedient! A bet is a bet. If you're not obedient, I'll go visit the teacher's home..."

In an instant,

all the thoughts in Kyou Fujibayashi's heart were extinguished, disappearing completely.

"Don't go to my house."

She clattered into a chair, her whole body going limp.

"Kill me or cut me, do whatever you want, but please don't hurt my sister Ryou."

The pale little boy looked at Kyou Fujibayashi, the residual emotions in his heart touched, but they soon disappeared completely.

"Teacher, it's just staying there for two or three days, you won't be in any life-threatening danger."

A glimmer of hope surged in Kyou Fujibayashi, her eyes flickering with a hint of expectation.

She wouldn't die,

as long as she wouldn't die, as long as she returned alive, she could see her sister again.

That's great.

Kyou Fujibayashi's whole body relaxed. In a trance, she only felt a strong consciousness surging from the boy. In an instant, her brain ached and she lost consciousness, falling into a black slumber.

Kyou Fujibayashi's figure quickly disappeared from the classroom.

"I'm sorry."

An apologetic voice echoed.

Lin Ye headed to the train station and took out his phone to look at the time displayed on it.

"It's almost five o'clock,"

he estimated that by the time he reached Chiba Elementary School, there shouldn't be any teachers or students left.

Lin Ye got on the train and took the elevator to the station closest to Chiba Elementary School. He got off and headed to the restroom in the station.

"Rustle, rustle..."

Lin Ye took off his Sobu High school uniform and changed into the casual clothes he had specifically packed in his backpack today.

After a short while, he had changed into black sports casual wear of an inconspicuous color.

He jumped a few times, feeling the rebound from his sneakers, and Lin Ye felt he was in good condition.

"Let's go..."

Having finished changing, Lin Ye walked out of the restroom, confirmed the direction of Chiba Elementary School, and walked step by step.

At this time,

the sky was a sheet of red, the orange-red light of the sunset spilling over, rendering the earth in a warm, hazy color.

On the street, vehicles were coming and going, and occasionally a few pedestrians walked by—some middle-aged men in suits, others housewives carrying bags full of vegetables and fruits.

Lin Ye also saw middle school students playing around while holding a basketball.

He checked the electronic map on his phone; he was getting closer and closer to Chiba Elementary School.

Turning the corner,

Lin Ye suddenly stopped his pace.

An elementary school girl in uniform was walking over with her head down, completely unaware of the situation ahead.

If he hadn't stopped his pace and avoided her in time, she would definitely have bumped into him.

"Little one,"

"You should look ahead when walking from now on!"

Lin Ye reminded her in a friendly manner.

At this moment, the elementary school girl lifted her head, and an exquisite face was reflected in Lin Ye's field of vision.

"It's you... little Tsurumi."

Rumi Tsurumi,

Lin Ye was surprised.

This girl couldn't be attending Chiba Elementary School, could she? Lin Ye recalled, and it seemed the original work mentioned it was indeed Chiba Elementary School.

"Lin Ye?"

After hearing the familiar voice, Rumi Tsurumi lifted her eyes and saw the man's appearance, immediately recognizing who he was.

Some time ago, when she was attacked by a Tosa dog and was frightened and at a loss, it was Lin Ye who stepped forward to save her and sent her home.

He was a good person.

"Call me big brother; it's not polite to address me directly by name."

"..."

"Alright, be more careful in the future. Don't walk with your head down. What would you do if you bumped into a large dog?"

"Yeah."

She gave a 'yeah.'

"Hurry back! Be careful on the road, don't let your mom and dad worry."

Lin Ye smiled and greeted her, preparing to leave, but Rumi Tsurumi's voice came. "Lin... big brother, what are you doing here!"

"A friend of mine works nearby."

Although he didn't know if Kyou Fujibayashi had acknowledged his status as a friend, she had already been used by Lin Ye as an excuse.

Lin Ye supported his knees with his hands, leaned forward, and smiled. "Do you need me to send you home again?"
