Chapter 787

"Senpai, if you said that to her face, she definitely wouldn't admit it."

"Oh!"

A stubborn girl who refuses to lose?

"Does she even dare to pet John?"

Mai Sakurajima said immediately.

"She doesn't dare, but she would muster up the courage to do it. She is just that kind of girl who refuses to admit defeat."

Lin Ye recalled Yukinoshita Yukino's personality.

She wasn't a perfect girl; there were many things she wasn't good at. But even for things she wasn't good at, if someone provoked her, she would be the first to retort and state her position.

If she accepted it calmly, he would instead suspect if the girl had encountered something, if her temperament had changed so much, or even suspect if she had been replaced by a body double.

"You know her very well."

That slightly nostalgic and emotional expression couldn't be faked.

Mai Sakurajima realized the sincere affection Lin Ye had for Yukinoshita Yukino.

The relationship of quasi-fiancés wasn't something to be taken lightly.

"Mm."

Lin Ye gave a soft "Mm." "I actually know you quite well too, Senpai, and I even want to know you better."

The piercing gaze made Mai Sakurajima tremble all over, her eyes revealing a look of astonishment. She never expected that Lin Ye, who was just talking about his quasi-fiancée, would give her such a big surprise in the next sentence.

Both shocked and happy.

In her view, this was practically a confession.

It was true that she had never dated and had never had any ambiguity with the opposite sex, but as a big star and an actress who had appeared in many romantic comedy dramas and movies, she had mastered quite a bit of relevant knowledge.

Lin Ye's words were not even a hair's breadth away from a confession; there would be no problem even if she took it as one.

"Jokes should have their limits. You have a quasi-fiancée now, after all."

Mai Sakurajima became serious.

"Senpai, have you forgotten about yesterday morning?"

Of course she hadn't forgotten.

"That was a joke, don't misunderstand."

"I've already misunderstood. What should I do?"

Facing Lin Ye's piercing gaze, Mai Sakurajima pursed her lips, her red lips moving gently as she spoke slowly, "There's nothing to be done. You're the one who's overthinking it. You're a man with a quasi-fiancée; you're not allowed to be unfaithful. I have no interest in unfaithful men."

Unless...

But she didn't say that "unless" out loud.

She was worried about giving Lin Ye hope.

Yesterday morning's behavior, besides being a coincidental impulse, was also a hope to increase Lin Ye's impression of her, hoping Lin Ye wouldn't forget her.

But today,

the situation had changed.

If Lin Ye's plan failed today, Lin Ye was destined to forget her. Since that was the case, why add another layer of ambiguous relationship?

Just like this, let her live her life alone in solitude; she could also accept the fact of witnessing Lin Ye with other girls.

Her heart would be able to accept it better and wouldn't be so sad anymore.

"Senpai, you're being unreasonable. I'm not unfaithful; I'm very devoted."

"You? Devoted?"

"Of course."

Lin Ye straightened his back. "I'm devoted to a group of girls—isn't that devotion?"

"You're trying to laugh me to death."

Mai Sakurajima couldn't help but say with a laugh.

"Senpai is living well; you're not dead."

"Hmph."

She began to prepare for going out.

Even if she wasn't observed by others, she still groomed and dressed herself to look neat and fresh.

"Senpai, why don't you put on some light makeup to make yourself look even prettier?"

"What kind of man says that to a girl and makes such a request?"

"I'm doing it for your sake."

Lin Ye thought about the moment his plan succeeded, when Mai Sakurajima would be observed again. If her makeup didn't look good, it might make the news and shock all her fans!

"You're clearly doing it for your own sake."

"Just consider it for my sake! So, Senpai, are you willing?"

"……"

Since you've said it like that, how could I have any reason to refuse?

"There are no makeup products here."

"I bought some."

Lin Ye went to the cabinet and took out a full set of makeup products.

Mai Sakurajima took one look at the dazzling array of complete makeup products and couldn't help but reveal a smile. "You're fully prepared. Which girl prepared this for you?"

This definitely couldn't have been prepared by Lin Ye himself; how would an average man understand these things?

"Yukinoshita."

"Junior, do you think I'll believe that?"

Mai Sakurajima wouldn't believe it was a gift from Yukinoshita Yukino. That girl was naturally beautiful, without a trace of makeup, and didn't need makeup products at all; how could she possibly buy them for Lin Ye?

On the contrary, she felt it was more likely to be the other two: Isshiki Iroha or Yuigahama Yui.

"Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukino's sister."

Mai Sakurajima rolled her eyes at Lin Ye and took the items to the bathroom.

Only there was a mirror.

Occasionally, Mai Sakurajima also found it strange: others couldn't see her, but the mirror could reflect her. What kind of existence was she now?

She skillfully arranged the items one by one, then began to use foundation, powder, eyeliner, and other products. The tools were flexible in her hands, and every move was very proficient.

As expected of a big star, this makeup technique was truly impressive.

Lin Ye guessed that Mai Sakurajima must have studied it professionally. Although big stars have people responsible for their makeup, she must have mastered considerable skills herself.

The whole process lasted twenty minutes.

Mai Sakurajima finished her makeup, neatly put away the products, and got up to wash her hands. "Alright."

At this moment,

the made-up Mai Sakurajima was breathtakingly beautiful, her carefully applied makeup radiating a charming allure that attracted everyone's gaze.

"What a pity."

That one word, "pity," made Mai Sakurajima's heart hang in the balance.

Was there something she didn't apply well?

"Only I can appreciate this beauty of yours, Senpai."

Sweet talk.

This thought immediately surfaced in Mai Sakurajima's heart, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but lift.

If this guy didn't have so many ambiguous relationships, how good would that be!

"Let's go!"

"Mm."

The two did a final check and left the apartment.

John watched them leave, and after the door closed, it played with the ball on the floor, passing the time of its boring home life.

Lin Ye and Mai Sakurajima went downstairs.

A black sedan was parked downstairs at the apartment building.

Mai Sakurajima saw it, but didn't think much of it until Lin Ye brought her to the side of the black sedan and opened the back door.

"Did you book this car in advance?"

Beyond her expectations, she hadn't thought of that at all. ===== CHAPTER 788 =====
