Chapter 643

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed Lin Ye's change.

As the person who understood Lin Ye the best, she thought of something, which made her body shrink involuntarily, her hands subconsciously wanting to cover the sensitive parts of her body.

But thinking back to the experience of that week, she had already been seen clearly from top to bottom by Lin Ye, with no privacy left to speak of; even if Lin Ye were experiencing a similar situation now, there was little point in her covering up.

Might as well accept it calmly... as if!

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want to just lie there; she wanted to figure out Lin Ye's current situation.

"Is there still a problem with the beef?"

She asked again.

"No, it was me who had a problem just now."

Lin Ye said, shaking his head.

"Lin-kun, why don't you try my chicken?"

Yui Hamamatsu pushed her bento box in front of Lin Ye and pointed to the piece of fried chicken inside as she spoke to him.

The dumpling girl was also concerned about Lin Ye.

Mai Sakurajima watched Lin Ye being cared for by two girls, her emotions quite complex; this counted as seeing a harem protagonist in reality.

Youth, indeed!

This guy would sooner or later become a scumbag torn apart by five horses.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Lin Ye didn't refuse and used his chopsticks to pick up a piece of fried chicken.

He bit into it, eating half first.

It was very standard chicken with a crispy flour coating, and one could even taste a little bit of a mother's touch.

It was quite delicious.

"How is it?"

The dumpling girl watched eagerly, waiting for Lin Ye's answer.

"Delicious, your mother is skilled at cooking."

"That goes without saying, Mom's cooking is delicious, but I... I'm just no good, I can't learn it at all."

Thinking of her own cooking skills, every time she entered the kitchen she only ended up causing trouble, and the sub-par dishes she made were all dark cuisine; she felt very distressed.

She, Yui Hamamatsu, also wanted to make delicious food, but...

She just couldn't do it!

Last time she let Yukino help make cookies, but Yukino ended up with a stomachache and went to the hospital.

She didn't dare to let Yukino help anymore, and she herself had developed a trauma from learning.

Lin Ye took a second bite; the chicken was very normal, sweet and sour, tomato sauce...

Hmm?

Why is there the taste of tomato sauce?

Lin Ye looked at Yui Hamamatsu's bento box; he remembered very clearly that the fried chicken hadn't been dipped in tomato sauce.

"Hamamatsu-san, did you use tomato sauce for this fried chicken?"

"Ah! Sorry about that, no, I forgot to bring it today, I'm sorry, I'll definitely bring it next time."

Fried chicken that hadn't been dipped in tomato sauce, yet he tasted tomato sauce.

There was definitely a problem.

Had his sense of taste been affected?

Then what about the fragrance belonging to a woman that he had breathed in just now?

Had both his sense of taste and smell been affected?

Lin Ye pondered, but couldn't find a suitable explanation.

But his current anomaly definitely had a connection to eating.

"If there's anything, you can tell us; we can help you analyze and find a solution."

Yukino stared at Lin Ye and suggested.

She said 'we', but in reality, she meant 'I'.

Yui Hamamatsu was unaware; unless Lin Ye intended to inform Yui Hamamatsu, there was no need to tell her.

"If there is a need, I will."

This sentence made Yukino temporarily at ease; at least Lin Ye hadn't refused help.

Yui Hamamatsu saw this, her gaze moving back and forth between Lin Ye and Yukino; she was quite certain that Yukino Yukinoshita's attitude toward Lin Ye had changed significantly.

Yukino's treatment of Lin Ye was not the same as her treatment of others; if anyone else had encountered the same thing, Yukino definitely wouldn't have proactively offered help, but would only silently wait for a request for help and then decide whether to provide assistance based on the actual situation and her own thoughts.

But this time, it was different.

Yukino Yukinoshita had proactively offered; this was behavior of a completely different style from Yukino's daily routine, so there was definitely a problem.

Yui Hamamatsu was very concerned.

While eating, she thought about the progress of their relationship.

And Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking about what problem Lin Ye had encountered.

As for Lin Ye himself, he was eating his bento; when eating meat, the taste always changed, and after swallowing for a while, the residual taste continued to stimulate his tongue and impact his brain.

There was also a pleasant, faint fragrance.

He had a vague guess, but he was just one step away from the door, and Lin Ye couldn't be completely sure yet.

On the rooftop,

Haruna Tachibana and Rui Tachibana, the two sisters, were having lunch here.

Ever since the two sisters had eaten here once, they basically ate here every time.

"Wow! Rui, did you prepare fried chicken today?"

She lived with her sister, but hadn't paid attention to the lunch bento Rui had prepared.

Looking at the golden, crispy fried chicken and the red tomato sauce, Haruna Tachibana's appetite was stimulated.

She had long wanted to eat fried food to satisfy her cravings.

Recently, she hadn't eaten any fried food at all.

"Yeah, but it's cold now, and a bit soft too; the texture won't be very good. Fried chicken is best eaten hot right out of the fryer."

"It's fine! It's enough, I'm going to eat."

Haruna Tachibana immediately picked up her chopsticks and ate a piece of fried chicken first.

But after a while, her expression changed slightly.

"Um, Rui..."

"What's wrong? Sister, is it not good, or did it go bad?"

"No, it's... this fried chicken tastes like beef, and it's beef with black pepper sauce."

Rui Tachibana slowly displayed a question mark.

No matter how things changed, it was impossible to taste beef, and especially not black pepper beef.

"Let me try."

Rui Tachibana finished eating and indicated that the taste was very normal and there were no problems at all.
