Chapter 585

In her heart, it was completely different.

"Next time."

Lin Ye decided to let the girl go; forcing it further would only trigger the girl's disgust.

The identity of boyfriend and fiancé was very useful, but the relationship between him and Yukinoshita hadn't truly reached that point yet; the degree of their emotional connection was still a bit low.

One could say they hadn't even officially started dating; they only had the name, without any activities like solo dates to improve their relationship.

The next step, if they needed to increase the feelings between them, was to cultivate it in this direction.

Find an opportunity to ask Yukino out on a date, and he had already obtained permission to hold hands.

Lin Ye was looking forward to it.

After standing up, Lin Ye looked at the young girl lying on the bed, "I'll head back first. If anything happens, contact me by phone, and I'll rush over as soon as possible."

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned.

She had already mentally prepared herself for Lin Ye to stay the night.

But she didn't expect Lin Ye to take the initiative to leave.

He was being polite now, on the contrary.

Shouldn't he be staying, or even suggesting he spend the night in her room, sleeping directly in her bed?

Yukinoshita Yukino had even prepared a series of explanations and persuasions for this.

But none of it was of any use; Lin Ye took the initiative to leave.

She didn't know if she should be happy or sad.

'Click...'

After saying goodbye, Lin Ye closed the bedroom door.

It wasn't that Lin Ye hadn't thought about staying, but once he thought of Fujibayashi Ryou, he felt he should go to Fujibayashi Ryou's side today.

The reason he came to see Yukino first was also because he planned to leave after visiting her, to spend more of today's time with Fujibayashi Ryou.

"I don't know when to tell Yukino about Ryou."

Keeping it hidden forever wasn't a problem.

But once he thought about Ryou's situation being known by Yukino and Utaha,

he worried a bit about that scene.

Could he withstand the rage of the two girls?

Wouldn't it really lead to a 'yandere' situation?

How about... hypnosis?

Lin Ye couldn't help but think of hypnosis again.

This superpower was really too easy to use.

The problem was, what were the flaws of the hypnosis superpower?

What consequences would these flaws cause? It was currently an unknown variable.

On the contrary, the flaws of 'devour' were easy to test; as for the hypnosis superpower, he currently had no idea what its flaws were.

The targets he had hypnotized so far were all normal and hadn't shown any problems.

"Take it one step at a time."

Lin Ye walked to the apartment door, opened it, and walked out to the elevator entrance.

'Click...'

The elevator door opened.

"Yo, Lin-kun."

A sudden greeting sounded.

Lin Ye saw an acquaintance.

The black-haired girl, Yukinoshita Haruno.

Appearing here at this time?

Lin Ye didn't think it was a coincidence.

It was the same before, and it was the same today.

It seemed Haruno was truly always concerned about her sister Yukino.

Worried about what he might do if he stayed the night, right!

"Haruno-san, what a coincidence."

"Haha, this shows that Lin-kun and I have a bond, doesn't it?"

"This bond is probably man-made."

"A man-made bond is still a bond. I've always hoped to have a deeper bond with Lin-kun."

Haruno laughed.

There were some things that both sides knew the other was aware of, but there was no need to expose them.

The two formed a potential tacit understanding.

"Forget it."

"What a pity."

Haruno shrugged and continued, "Leaving so early?"

"Haruno-san, didn't you come over because you were worried I'd stay the night at Yukino's place?"

"Sigh, how could I have such a worry? Lin-kun is Yukino's fiancé; staying at Yukino's place is a very normal thing. What do I have to worry about?"

Lin Ye didn't believe a single word of Haruno's.

"It's best if you're not worried. If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

As he said this, Lin Ye walked into the elevator.

And Haruno had no intention of leaving the elevator at all.

'Ding-dong...'

Instead, she followed Lin Ye to the first floor and walked out of the lobby together.

"Haruno-san, what are you..."

"Isn't this because I wanted to tell Lin-kun some good news! The matter you asked me to investigate has some leads."

"Hmm? Is there a result regarding Asuna?"

He had already asked Haruno to investigate Asuna for quite some time; logically, there should be a conclusion.

"Uh, this... that..."

Haruno showed a troubled expression, "Please give me a little more time; I still need to confirm further."

Lin Ye frowned slightly.

Haruno smiled awkwardly and immediately continued, "There is information about that little sister you asked me to investigate, Kasugano Sora."

Sora's matter?

That was quite fast.

"Go ahead."

"It's like this,"

Haruno organized her language, "I wonder if Lin-kun remembers the chain-reaction car accident that happened on the Chiba Expressway last month?"

Lin Ye nodded; he remembered. At the time, he was preparing to watch a movie with Nanase Ren, and Ren had left the cinema early due to a staffing issue caused by the accident.

And Ren's departure happened to avoid being dragged into the horror movie instance.

That could be considered lucky.

And he and Fujibayashi Ryou had their initial contact and relationship improvement because of that.

"I have an impression."

"That's good. The Kasugano Sora family happened to be the victims of that chain-reaction car accident."

"And her parents and brother all died in that car accident, only Kasugano Sora, who was in the back seat, survived."

"The older brother should have been in the back seat too, right!"

"Yes, but he was a victim. Only the little sister survived. After being rescued, she was sent to Chiba Municipal Hospital, received about ten days of treatment, and was finally discharged to go home."

It was the same hospital where Ren and Ryou were.

"Is that all the information?"

"Of course not. I asked someone to go to the hospital to inquire and investigate, and they said that Kasugano Sora, who was hospitalized, would occasionally call out the names of her parents and brother."
