Chapter 556

Tachibana Rui,

This blue-short-haired girl stood at the entrance of the teaching building,

After noticing Lin Ye's appearance, her expression changed slightly, and she turned toward Lin Ye.

Lin Ye intended to ignore her, pretending not to see her, but the girl's voice rang out.

"Lin-kun,"

She took the initiative to greet Lin Ye, and she even walked over toward him.

Only then did Lin Ye turn to face Tachibana Rui.

"Tachibana-san, good morning. Is something the matter?"

It was probably about Teacher Tachibana Haruna again; this was truly similar to her behavior in the original work.

Whether Tachibana Rui was essentially a sister-complex who yearned for her sister Haruna in her heart—this will influenced the girl's actions.

"Do you have time after school?"

The somewhat aloof and cold blue-haired girl stared at Lin Ye just like that, waiting for his answer.

"Can I refuse?"

"You can,"

She unexpectedly did not deny it, "but I will follow Lin-san."

"Actually, Tachibana-san, I have already stated my position regarding Teacher Haruna; I will not talk about it."

"I will not give up, and besides, I am not here for that matter this time."

Tachibana Rui said earnestly.

"Alright then!"

Seeing that Lin Ye did not refuse but instead agreed, Tachibana Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

She had prepared herself mentally to be rejected and to continue being persistent, but she had not expected Lin Ye to agree.

"However, as a corresponding return, I hope Tachibana-san can stop asking about what happened between Teacher Haruna and me from now on. Knowing it really isn't good for you."

This condition,

it would be hard to accept, right!

Lin Ye thought.

This was actually Lin Ye's way of refusing in disguise.

"Okay."

But, contrary to Lin Ye's expectations, the girl still agreed.

This response made Lin Ye wonder for a moment if Tachibana Rui was trying to fool him, just giving a perfunctory answer to get him to agree, intending to go back on her word later.

Lin Ye stared into the girl's eyes, and seeing her earnest expression, he ultimately chose to believe her promise.

"See you after school."

"See you after school."

Tachibana Rui nodded to signal to Lin Ye and left.

The two were in the same grade but not the same class, so they walked one after the other.

Because of their auras, no one thought that Lin Ye and Tachibana Rui had a very good relationship.

A few minutes later,

Lin Ye walked to the classroom.

The moment he entered, he looked toward that familiar position.

Bright sunlight from outside the window shone in, and the thin light spread across the classroom.

The black-haired girl's long, straight hair fluttered slightly in the breeze, and her exquisite face revealed a hint of holiness.

Class J was an international class with more girls, but Yukinoshita Yukino was still the most outstanding one among them; her actions always drew the attention of many students in the class.

Beauty is something everyone, regardless of gender, instinctively pursues.

Lin Ye walked forward step by step, his gaze fixed on the girl, observing her reaction.

Yesterday's events,

he had finally used his hypnotic superpower to alter the girl's consciousness, making her accept the fact that he and Mai were dating.

But ultimately, the girl was definitely unwilling in her heart.

Today, now that she had calmed down, what attitude would she use to face him?

This also related to their future interactions.

"Morning, Yukinoshita."

Lin Ye greeted her.

The surrounding students had already gotten used to Lin Ye greeting Yukinoshita.

At first, Yukinoshita Yukino would ignore him, but recently, it was said that Lin Ye had joined the Service Club founded by Yukinoshita, and when faced with Lin Ye's greetings, Yukinoshita would also respond.

They had seen Yukinoshita's response more than once.

No matter how novel a thing is, once it happens enough times, they would no longer be surprised.

This time, Yukinoshita should also give a simple response.

The students thinking this way, however, discovered that Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting in her seat, her eyes lowered slightly to look at the book on the desk, completely ignoring Lin Ye who had taken the initiative to greet her.

Didn't hear it?

No, impossible.

This was definitely Yukinoshita's intentional behavior.

It meant their relationship had worsened, and Yukinoshita didn't even want to pay attention to Lin Ye anymore.

Suddenly, several boys felt overjoyed in their hearts, extremely happy.

With the ice-beauty Yukinoshita Yukino getting close to a boy, they were naturally worried that news of them "dating" would appear in the future.

But now it seemed their worries were superfluous; there was absolutely no need to worry.

How could Lin Ye, who had already been rejected, possibly be dating Yukinoshita!

That was impossible. The two had only gotten slightly closer because they were in the same club, and now, it was likely that Lin Ye had developed an illusion because of that slight change, leading him to confess again, only to be rejected by Yukinoshita Yukino once more.

And now, Yukinoshita Yukino was using her cold attitude to show Lin Ye her inner determination.

To them, this was absolutely a good thing.

In the large classroom, whispers arose.

The voices were very soft, but if one listened carefully, one could still hear the students' exchanges.

"He must have done something to make Yukinoshita unhappy."

"I bet he confessed again!"

"Haha, that's really possible. How could Yukinoshita possibly agree? How could she possibly fall in love?"

"In our school, probably only Hayama..."

*Thud!*

Just at this moment, a loud *thud* suddenly rang out; the sound of a book hitting the desk made a harsh roar.

In an instant, the classroom fell silent, and everyone stared blankly in the direction the sound came from.

That was the direction where Yukinoshita Yukino was.

The roar just now was caused by her.

"There's a mosquito, it's very noisy."

The book she had slammed onto the desk had rebounded and slid to the floor.

"Lin-san, can you help me pick it up?"

Actually,

the book wasn't far away; the girl only needed to bend over slightly to pick it up, and Yukinoshita Yukino herself was a girl who didn't like to trouble others.

But this time, she spoke up.

Lin Ye immediately saw the meaning behind this behavior, and the other students guessed it too.

This was a disguised way of standing up for Lin Ye!

Shock.

The students of Class J were shocked once again.

Was this already the same person shocking them again?

They couldn't imagine it.

What must the relationship between these two be for Yukinoshita Yukino, who at first glance seemed to be repulsed by Lin Ye today, to choose to step in and stand up for him?

The relationship between these two was quite intimate and complex!

The boys who were secretly rejoicing a moment ago felt their hearts turn cold, feeling incredibly miserable.

It would have been better if Yukinoshita Yukino had just treated him normally from the start.
