Chapter 72

Her hesitant expression made Lin Ye let the girl into the room first.

After the girl entered, Lin Ye closed the room door.

"Hoshino-san, you really don't have any vigilance. Entering a man's room in the middle of the night, some terrible things might happen."

As the words fell,

Hoshino Ai hurriedly took two or three steps back, distancing herself from Lin Ye.

"That, that… forcing it is illegal, it's not good…"

She hugged herself tightly, her eyes filled with vigilance.

"I, I know you like me very much, but… but you can't… use this method to get me."

Lin Ye was embarrassed.

"The 'me' from before might have liked you, but the current me doesn't like you anymore."

Strictly speaking, the previous body's liking was not his liking either.

He felt even more bored with the amnesiac Hoshino Ai. If Hoshino Ai still had the memories of the hotel, he would have had some feelings; after all, they were partners who had shared hardships.

"Eh, why… why is that?"

Hoshino Ai let out an exclamation.

"You, you are Ai-chan's fan."

"Not anymore."

"Lin-kun, Ai-chan will be sad."

"It has nothing to do with me."

Just after finishing, Lin Ye realized something was wrong. He froze in place, his action of unscrewing the mineral water bottle stopping.

How did Hoshino Ai address him just now? Lin-kun?

He looked up and met Hoshino Ai's eyes, which were sparkling with starry smiles.

This is… could it be…

Lin Ye thought of something.

"Surprise, happy? Lin-kun, hehehe…"

Hoshino Ai tilted her head and raised a brilliant smile. At this moment, she could no longer hide the joyful emotion surging in her heart.

So happy!

She finally saw Lin Ye's shocked reaction as she had expected.

"It's the Ai-chan you know! How was my pretending to have amnesia just now? My acting skills are okay, right? Even you, Lin-kun, didn't discover my problem. Hehe, my acting, it must be better than Sakurajima Mai's. In the future, I can also become a popular big star."

Lin Ye's face 'swooshed' and fell. His gloomy appearance immediately made Hoshino Ai's heart hang in the air.

The young girl fell into tension and panic.

'Tap, tap…'

Lin Ye walked two steps closer to Hoshino Ai, which made Hoshino Ai instinctively retreat until she bumped into the bed and fell onto it with an 'oops' exclamation.

"That… Lin-kun, don't be angry. I, I was just making a joke. I, I really didn't want to tease you like this."

Seeing Lin Ye raise his right hand, she instinctively closed her eyes, curled up, and trembled subconsciously.

"Thump…"

Lin Ye's hand suddenly slowed down and landed gently on Hoshino Ai's face, his thumb and index finger applying force, twisting it.

"Woo…"

"It hurts, it hurts…"

Hoshino Ai cried out, but she was relieved. Lin Ye was not angry or furious; if he were truly angry or furious, he wouldn't bully her like this!

"Why did you do that?"

"Uh! This… isn't this because I wanted to give Lin-kun a surprise! I wanted to see Lin-kun's shocked reaction."

She said nervously.

"I'm asking why you didn't choose to refuse the invitation and leave the Eerie Game, becoming a game player. You will die in the next dungeon game. You should be clear about your own strength."

Hoshino Ai blinked, and a huge joy suddenly swept over her.

"So… Lin-kun was worried about my safety!"

So happy!

For the first time in her life, she was sincerely cared for by a man.

Lin-kun is really gentle and kind, really good to her. This is… love, right? This must be Lin-kun's love for her!

A certain conjecture became stronger and stronger.

"Don't change the subject. Answer my question, Hoshino Ai."

Under Lin Ye's further questioning, Hoshino Ai changed her posture, squatting on the bed, hugging her knees with both hands.

"It's not… I promised Lin-kun one thing: after leaving the hotel, I would wear white silk for Lin-kun and dance a dance."

In an instant,

Lin Ye felt as if he were having auditory hallucinations.

Just because of this promise?

He was speechless. He didn't know whether to feel uncomfortable or happy.

"Do you know what you are doing? In the next dungeon game, how will you survive? You don't still think there will be a player like me leading you through the dungeon game all the way, do you?"

"Eh, isn't there?"

She blinked, full of innocence.

"No."

At this moment,

Lin Ye felt that Hoshino Ai's IQ might also have a little bit of a problem.

Mentally problematic, her IQ is probably really problematic too.

But seeing that she still didn't look panicked, Lin Ye felt that Hoshino Ai still hadn't realized the seriousness of this choice and the degree of danger in the future.

Hopeless,

dead for sure.
