Chapter 561

"Let's go!"

The two walked out of the apartment one after the other and took the elevator to the first floor.

A taxi took them to Chiba Station, and they boarded the train heading to Tokyo.

'Clatter, clatter...' the rhythmic sound of the train moving continued to ring out.

On the train,

Yukinoshita Yukino, in her long dress, became the focus of the carriage. Not to mention the men, even many women cast looks of amazement and envy toward her.

They, too, wished to possess a beauty as exquisite as Yukinoshita's.

No matter who they are, everyone pursues beautiful things.

Yukinoshita Yukino composed a message and sent it to her sister, Haruno, stating that she would not be returning home for Huang Jinzhou.

In past long holidays, she would always return. Although she disliked staying at the Yukinoshita mansion, she would choose to return during the holidays to reunite with her family.

But for this May Day Huang Jinzhou, she would be spending it with Lin Ye.

It was the first time in her life she had gone out alone with a member of the opposite sex during a holiday.

And as for this particular companion, neither her parents nor her sister would object.

Two minutes later,

Yukinoshita Yukino's phone rang.

It was a call from her sister, Haruno.

"Yukino, are you going to Tokyo to hang out with Lin-kun?"

The moment she answered, Haruno went straight to the point.

When Haruno saw that message, her expression changed immediately.

Her sister going out alone with Lin Ye—even if nothing happened, the progress and changes in this relationship worried her.

Her sister not only let Lin Ye stay overnight at her apartment but was even willing to go to Tokyo with him. Even if it was to find that 'Sakurajima Mai,' it still put her on high alert.

"To find someone, sister, you know that."

"Hey, hey, you're going to help Lin-kun find a girl? This... isn't that bad?"

"It's just helping, nothing more."

"If Lin-kun runs off with that girl, you won't even have a place to cry."

Haruno was probing.

She wanted to understand her sister's true thoughts regarding this relationship with Lin Ye.

"If he really runs off with another girl, it just means he and I aren't a good match."

She glanced at Lin Ye from the corner of her eye, her red lips moving slightly as she spoke.

"Can you bear to part?"

"He and I have never been together. Right now, we are just in the stage of contact and communication. If the contact isn't suitable, our communication will just stop there. We will return to our previous relationship as classmates and club companions."

These were Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts at this moment.

"If Lin-kun heard that, he would definitely be sad."

But Haruno felt relieved; as long as her sister held firm to her own bottom line, she wouldn't have to worry about her sister falling completely and losing herself.

"He is right beside me."

"Eh, eh, eh,"

Haruno's voice rang out with a feigned, exaggerated tone of shock.

"Classmate Lin, sister has something to tell you,"

Yukinoshita held the phone to Lin Ye's ear; at this distance, she could actually hear it too.

"Lin-kun, you must be devoted to my sister! If you are unfaithful, my sister will 'not want you' anymore."

You clearly hope that I keep my distance from your sister, and it would be best if we separated right now.

"I'm actually quite devoted and single-minded,"

"Oh, you're single-minded, yet you go looking for other girls?"

"Cough, cough, cough, I am single-minded toward a group of people."

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a flash of helplessness; she didn't even want to retort.

Only a man like Lin Ye would dare to be thick-skinned enough to say such a shocking statement to her face; if it were any other man, how would they dare to say that?

"Hahaha, Lin-kun, you really are interesting! I wonder if big sister here is within your range of single-mindedness?"

"No, absolutely not, please rest assured."

"Heartbroken, big sister here is truly heartbroken!"

After Haruno wallowed in her own sadness for a while, she continued, "Take good care of Yukino. Since you're going to Tokyo to hang out with her, you must protect her safety. I don't want to hear any news of Yukino getting into trouble."

"Mm, I will,"

"Be careful with protection! You two are still young."

After dropping that line, Haruno immediately hung up the phone.

'Beep, beep...'

Lin Ye's gaze fell on the face of the girl beside him. At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino's delicate cheeks were flushed with a faint red glow.

At her age, how could she not understand the subtext of her sister's words?

What is sister thinking about in her wild imagination!

"Miss Haruno told us to use protection."

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at him, then straightened her posture and closed her eyes. At this moment, she was keeping people at a distance and didn't want to communicate with Lin Ye.

Lin Ye laughed and sat there.

'Clatter, clatter...'

Yukinoshita Yukino's soft body leaned against Lin Ye's side, and her little head rested there due to a brief nap. Lin Ye smelled the scent of the girl's hair and sat motionless, avoiding any disturbance to the girl's rest.

Half an hour later,

They were about to reach the transfer station. Lin Ye spoke up, "Yukinoshita, we're almost at the station."

Seeing the girl didn't react, he placed his right hand on her shoulder and shook it slightly, "Wake up, we're almost at the station."

"Ugh..."

Yukinoshita Yukino then slowly opened her eyes, "We're here?"

"The transfer station, we need to transfer to head to Akihabara."

"Mm."

She was still a little dazed.

When the train stopped and the doors opened, the young girl stood up and was still a bit unsteady. Lin Ye supported the girl with one hand and pulled the suitcase with the other as they walked out of the train.

"Sorry, I was dazed from sleeping,"

"Didn't you rest well last night?"

Thinking back now, the young girl's condition today wasn't very good.

"Mm,"

"Insomnia? It wouldn't be because you thought I would launch a night raid that you couldn't sleep, would it?"

Lin Ye thought of a possibility and spoke hesitantly.

If that were really the case, he shouldn't have stayed over last night; he should have left.

"No,"

"Then..."

"Don't ask,"

"Does it have to do with me?"

"..."

Seeing the girl's reaction, Lin Ye immediately realized that the girl's insomnia had to do with him.

"It seems it's my problem, I will take responsibility,"

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her eyes to look, her gaze holding a trace of doubt,

"I will take responsibility for your sleep quality tonight, ensuring you sleep comfortably for the night."

Lin Ye's words were solemn, but Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts went astray.

"I don't need you to take responsibility,"

"Since it's already happened, how can I not take responsibility!"
