Chapter 808

Yukinoshita changed her form of address, speaking with a slightly certain tone.

"It's you, right, Miss Sakurajima Mai."

Three seconds later,

Sakurajima Mai moved her red lips and spoke. "It's me, Yukinoshita-san. This should be our first formal interaction, right?"

There had been interactions before, but they were based on the premise of Lin Ye relaying them; Yukinoshita couldn't hear her voice.

"Yes."

But Yukinoshita was more concerned about Lin Ye's situation. "Where is he?"

"He's tired and just fell asleep."

Six words made Yukinoshita Yukino tremble.

"Where?"

"A hotel. A love hotel."

The black-haired girl's face turned pale.

Location + status—she already understood Lin Ye's current situation.

He hadn't answered the phone earlier, probably because he was busy with a major life event, right?

Now that Sakurajima Mai was taking the initiative to use Lin Ye's phone to call, she must be here to declare ownership and their official relationship, hoping she would consciously withdraw, right?

"Yukinoshita-san, Lin Ye and I are officially dating now."

As expected, she was here to declare sovereignty; as expected, she wanted her to consciously give up.

"You might not know yet, but just in Akihabara..."

"I watched the video."

Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted.

This was a fact; it wasn't a fact that could be shifted by her will.

Instead of avoiding it, she might as well accept it.

"Since you watched the video, I don't need to explain more. He confessed to me, I accepted his confession, and we even kissed in public to indicate our relationship. We will be spending the night at a hotel tonight."

She was telling the truth.

Sakurajima Mai pursed her lips.

She knew she was deliberately deceiving and inducing Yukinoshita.

But on this battlefield of love, she couldn't afford not to use small schemes.

Sakurajima Mai sighed that she had finally stepped into this vortex of love.

She had never thought of it before, but now she had suddenly stepped in.

"I know."

"Mm, Yukinoshita-san, I won't interfere with your normal social interactions as friends with Boyfriend-kun, but I hope you can keep your distance from him."

Sakurajima Mai was nervous, her heartbeat slightly accelerating.

If Yukinoshita Yukino directly expressed acceptance, this would be her victory; if she couldn't accept it, then perhaps she would have to look for another method.

"I..."

"Please speak. But no matter what you want to say, it won't affect my relationship with Boyfriend-kun."

"..."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent.

Since a physical relationship had already occurred, what else could she do?

Could she continue to interact with Lin Ye with the same attitude as before?

He had a lover.

End it. Let it end here!

This thought grew stronger, constantly occupying her body and mind.

She realized she no longer had the impulse to continue.

"I understand."

The simple words made Sakurajima Mai raise a victorious smile, but this smile held some bitterness and guilt.

She was a despicable woman. No matter what, Yukinoshita had taken the initiative to help her, and yet she was treating Yukinoshita this way.

"Miss Sakurajima Mai, do you like Lin Ye?"

But a sudden questioning sentence immediately pulled Sakurajima Mai back to reality.

"Is your liking for him out of your own love, or out of gratitude for his help in saving you?"

The words Sakurajima Mai was about to say were interrupted.

Her liking was mostly out of gratitude, right?

If Lin Ye hadn't acted for her, she wouldn't have been able to hold a liking for Lin Ye either.

"I am grateful to him, and I also like him. That is my answer, Yukinoshita-san."

Sakurajima Mai didn't continue to have a headache over the complex distinction of emotions.

She felt there was absolutely no need to clearly distinguish them; just accept all these emotions calmly.

"Mm."

Yukinoshita Yukino said "Mm."

Things had reached this point, and she seemed to have no choice but to accept it. Only, she was still unwilling. "There is one thing I need to trouble you with."

"Please speak."

"Tell him to come and say it to me in person—that this relationship of ours ends here. I will end the fiancé-to-be relationship with him, and we will return to our original relationship as classmates and club members."

Sakurajima Mai:???

She slowly typed out a few question marks.

Her goal had succeeded, but she was also about to face failure.

Her intention had been to let Yukinoshita Yukino withdraw voluntarily. Now, Yukinoshita was indeed prepared to withdraw voluntarily, but the request she made would expose this lie she had woven.

And once the lie was exposed, her goal would face failure, her behavior this time would even face failure, and her own image would suffer a major blow.

What to do about this?

How to resolve this?

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, wouldn't it be better to leave a decent separation?"

"No need. I, Yukinoshita Yukino, don't need such decency. Since he has decided to be with you, does he not even have the courage to face me and tell me in person to end the relationship? Does he not even have that courage?"

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled some of Lin Ye's shocking remarks from the past. "I remember he once openly declared the grand goal of wanting a forest."

Sakurajima Mai was shocked upon hearing this.

So Lin Ye had said that kind of shocking remark in front of Yukinoshita too!

Did that guy really not know how to measure his words? Was he really not worried that his strange and terrifying remarks would scare girls away?

"What, now he doesn't even have the courage and guts? Knowing he did something to wrong me, his fiancé-to-be, now he needs you, Miss Sakurajima Mai, this third party, to relay it?"

Sakurajima Mai's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Don't put it so harshly.

What third party.

But thinking carefully about the relationship between the three of them now, she was definitely a latecomer no matter how you looked at it.

The order of arrangement was all behind Hoshino Ai and Yukinoshita.

And in terms of relationship, compared to Yukinoshita's fiancé-to-be status, her girlfriend status seemed slightly insufficient.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't wait for a reply from the other side, her eyes shimmering with an increasingly bright expression.

As expected.

It was the same as her guess.

There was definitely some problem in the middle.

"Miss Sakurajima Mai, I am his fiancé-to-be. Our relationship has been recognized by our parents and elders, and we are in contact and communicating. Unless he gives up, I won't give up on my side."

Sakurajima Mai shouted that things were troublesome.

"A woman who has fallen for a man is truly unimaginable in what she might do."

The suggestive words hit Sakurajima Mai's heart directly.

As expected, she had been seen through. ===== CHAPTER 809 =====
