Chapter 539

Too much!

She also wanted to know, how could they not let her know!

This time, being invited to be a guest at the Fujibayashi house with the senior, Isshiki Iroha's expectations were full, curious about what interesting things would happen.

But the result was that interesting and fun things happened, but she didn't know about them herself; no matter how she thought about it, there was a problem.

Isshiki Iroha suddenly thought of a very serious problem,

did she really faint because she fell?

Why didn't she even have a single impression?

Isshiki Iroha rubbed her temples, racking her brains to try to remember something, but the related memories in her mind were like being deleted, disappearing cleanly, leaving nothing behind.

She had no choice but to give up thinking; thinking about anything else would just be a waste of time.

"Take care on the way, Lin Jun, Isshiki-san,"

At the doorway,

Fujibayashi Ryou said goodbye to Lin Ye and Isshiki Iroha.

Compared to the past, today's Fujibayashi Ryou was even more reluctant to part; after all, she had already established the most intimate relationship with Lin Ye.

The only regret was that she hadn't officially become Lin Ye's girlfriend, and the two hadn't officially become lovers.

Fujibayashi Ryou knew this was because Lin Ye still had concerns; even though the agreement with her sister had expired, he still had concerns.

She was anxious, but didn't want to urge Lin Ye; urging would only bring greater trouble to Lin Ye.

Therefore,

Fujibayashi Ryou decided to wait slowly.

"They left?"

Fujibayashi Kyou had just come down from the second floor and saw Fujibayashi Ryou alone at home; her younger sister was looking out the window, her right hand stroking the door frame, as if she were missing something.

She's fallen in, without a doubt.

Her younger sister is simply cute; she fell in love with someone, and now she's even deeper in it.

After all, her younger sister had even given herself away now.

Before, she could still remind her, and even stop her if necessary, but now, it wasn't suitable for her to do those things; besides supporting her, she had no other better choice.

"Mm."

"Rest well these few days, and tell me if there's anything uncomfortable."

"I know, sister, but Lin Jun will come tomorrow,"

"He's coming, it wouldn't be..."

Fujibayashi Kyou's hesitant expression immediately made Fujibayashi Ryou think of something.

"No, Lin Jun is worried about my body condition, it's not what you think."

"What do I think?"

Fujibayashi Kyou deliberately made a puzzled reaction, "I also thought he was coming to take care of you; although this is a lack of trust in me as your sister, you seem to have thought of something else, Ryou."

Suddenly,

Fujibayashi Ryou blushed, "Sister, bullying me,"

"Hmph, you're thinking that he's coming to bully you tomorrow, right!"

"Not at all,"

"Confess honestly, if he proposed it tomorrow, would you..."

Fujibayashi Ryou shook her head vigorously, and her firm attitude made Fujibayashi Kyou have no trust at all.

"Ryou, you also have to cherish yourself well!"

Fujibayashi Kyou had a look of anger at her lack of success, rubbing her younger sister's head vigorously,

Ryou hugged her head and combed her messy purple hair.

"Sister, I, I will cherish myself, Lin Jun isn't that kind of person either, he, he cherishes me very much,"

"..."

Recalling the experience last night, she really didn't dare to accept it.

Was it the influence of the drug, or was it his true nature?

If it was his true nature, then... her younger sister would suffer in the future...

Fujibayashi Kyou silently stopped thinking about it.

What she is worried about now is whether this empathy will still be effective in the future; however, during lunch just now, she didn't taste anything.

This can be considered good news, right!

If it really were the future, and she and her younger sister still had empathy, then... wouldn't this be equivalent to Lin Ye bullying her too?

Unimaginable, and even harder to accept.

She, she doesn't even know if she has experience or... no experience now.

"Anyway, if he bullies you and makes you unhappy, I'll definitely teach him a lesson for you, Ryou."

Fujibayashi Kyou clenched her fist,

Ryou even vaguely saw the dictionary in her sister's hand, that style from high school, which made her miss it very much.

Although she felt helpless regarding her older sister’s excessive protectiveness, she was, more than anything, happy.

Because of that previous declaration, she also believed her sister would no longer act recklessly, but would instead have a certain sense of propriety and boundaries—at least toward Lin Jun, she would not be the same as she was at the beginning.

"Alright, go back and rest quickly. I’m going to prepare dinner; I need to help you build your strength back up."

Fujibayashi Ryou’s face turned bright red at being told this.

"I, I’m fine!"

"Hehe."

Fujibayashi Kyou pushed her younger sister to sit on the living room sofa, while she walked over to the refrigerator, looking at the ingredients inside and pondering what dish would be best to prepare tonight.

……

……

Isshiki Iroha walked beside Lin Ye, trembling with every step.

With each step, the soreness in her leg muscles constantly stimulated the nerves in her brain, making her grit her teeth involuntarily.

It hurts!

It’s so sore!

It was extremely uncomfortable.

She couldn't figure out how, after just taking a nap and waking up, her leg muscles could be this painful, as if she had undergone high-intensity exercise.

‘Tap, tap…’

Isshiki Iroha wasn't walking fast, and seeing Lin Ye a few steps ahead of her, she grew increasingly angry inside.

She couldn't even walk properly; shouldn't her senior be coming over to support her?

"Senior, Senior, don't walk so fast, I can't keep up."

Lin Ye stopped in his tracks and turned to look at the trembling girl.

The squats and high-knee lifts had been too much for the girl's leg muscles; after sleeping, the pain had instead erupted and manifested further.

However, Lin Ye had no intention of using hypnosis to help Isshiki Iroha as he had helped Fujibayashi Ryou. After all, Isshiki Iroha had already forgotten what happened this morning; if he used hypnosis again, it would only invite more curiosity and pestering from the girl.

"If you walk too slowly, you won't make it home in time for dinner."

"Eh! Then I'll just have dinner with you, Senior! Your cute junior is willing to eat with you tonight, okay! Happy? Joyful? Delighted?"

Isshiki Iroha brushed back her hair, raised her bright eyes to gaze at Lin Ye, and a hint of a smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

"Not interested."

"Wow! Senior, if you act like this, girls will hate you, and you'll never find a girlfriend."

Isshiki Iroha said repeatedly.

"That's not something you need to worry about. I think if I wanted to find one, I still could."

"Oh my, looking at you, Senior, it seems you have a target girl in mind. Who is it, who is it? Yukinoshita-senpai? Miss Fujibayashi? Or could it be me?"

She pointed at herself, revealing a shy smile, and a faint blush appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Sakurajima Mai. My target is..."

Three seconds after his voice fell, Isshiki Iroha laughed "hahaha" after a brief moment of surprise. "Senior, don't fantasize. Miss Sakurajima Mai already has a boyfriend. Even if we take a step back and say Sakurajima Mai breaks up in the future, there are so many men in the country who like her—it wouldn't be your turn, Senior!"

She didn't have much confidence in Lin Ye. "Senior, listen to me, it's better to find someone in your immediate social circle! Don't you like Yukinoshita-senpai a lot? Try hard to pursue her! I think you and Yukinoshita-senpai are getting along quite well right now; there's still a chance."

She said a lot, all of which was meant to show that she could increase the chances of success for Lin Ye's pursuit, and even went as far as to say she would introduce cute girls to him.

And all Lin Ye could think about was that this girl was trying to introduce herself to him.

"Sorry, my heart is set on Mai."

Isshiki Iroha was speechless.

Big stars are great, and Sakurajima Mai is even better, but one has to look at one's own strength and the gap. Is a big star like Sakurajima Mai that easy to pursue?

If she were really that easy to pursue, how could it have only been confirmed the day before yesterday that she had a boyfriend!

Isshiki Iroha explained earnestly, but Lin Ye's attitude remained the same.

"Senior, support me, I really... really can't walk anymore. My legs are too sore. I only ended up like this because I was invited to be a guest at Miss Fujibayashi's house with you. You have to take responsibility, Senior; it's entirely your fault."

The reasoning was incorrect, but the conclusion was correct.

Lin Ye thought for a moment and agreed to the girl, supporting her as they headed to the train station.

"Carry me on your back; supporting me is too much trouble."

A while later, Isshiki Iroha made another request.

"Don't push your luck."

"It's just carrying me on your back, what's so 'pushing my luck' about that? It's you, Senior, that's why I'm allowing it; others wouldn't have this opportunity."

This girl...

"You're too heavy, I'm not carrying you."

"Wow, where am I heavy? I'm very slim, I have a great figure, I'm not heavy at all."

At this moment, Isshiki Iroha was like a cat with its fur standing on end, hugging herself with one hand and punching with the other, jokingly complaining about her inner grievances.

She, Isshiki Iroha, was not fat at all.

Half an hour later,

Lin Ye finally delivered Isshiki Iroha to her front door.

"Senior, it's still early, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

"No, I have an appointment with Yukinoshita later."

Upon hearing "Yukinoshita," Isshiki's interest was piqued.

Having an appointment with Yukinoshita-senpai after school—this matter was anything but simple.

"Senior, Senior, I want to go too."

‘Thump!’

Lin Ye unceremoniously tapped Isshiki Iroha on the forehead with one finger.

"Don't even think about it, go back and rest quickly."

"But..."

"No 'buts'."

"Unless Senior tells me about that thing, our school..."

Lin Ye unceremoniously tapped Isshiki on the forehead again.

"What are you thinking about! Nothing to do all day, just letting your imagination run wild."

After saying this, ignoring Isshiki Iroha's pouting expression, Lin Ye turned and left, leaving only his departing back behind.

"Wuu wuu..."

Isshiki Iroha glared for a good while before turning to open the door.

"Eek!"

The moment she opened the door,

She was suddenly startled and jumped back a step.

"Mom, you, you are..."

Standing before her was her mother.

Isshiki's mother looked at her daughter, then gazed into the distance, but seeing no one there, she quickly withdrew her gaze.

"Who was he?"

"Ah!"

She had been heard!

Isshiki Iroha immediately felt embarrassed.

"Who was the person who just left? Is it that senior of yours from Sobu High? Could it be that Lin Ye?"

Isshiki's mother occasionally heard about the school life at Sobu High from conversations with her daughter, and had heard some names.

And Isshiki complained about that first-year senior the most.

She keenly sensed a problem.

After all, Isshiki's mother had also experienced high school and had faced a rose-colored youth.

"Ah, this, that..."

Isshiki Iroha realized her mother seemed to have a misunderstanding.

"You've been with him since yesterday, staying together until now."

The powerful deterrent force coming from her mother immediately increased Isshiki Iroha's pressure.
