Chapter 820

Next time?

This phrase made Lin Ye pause, realizing that Fujibayashi Kyou's resistance toward him had indeed decreased significantly.

It would be strange if it hadn't decreased.

In the Dungeon, he had saved Fujibayashi Kyou multiple times; no matter how hard her heart was or what personal opinions she had, she should have accepted him by now!

Fujibayashi Kyou's current reaction was actually normal.

It was just that he wasn't quite used to it.

"Where's Muku? Didn't she come back?"

"The hospital suddenly contacted us this morning, needing Muku to return to work, but don't worry, she'll be back before seven."

As a hospital nurse, Fujibayashi Muku's shift schedule had been out for a long time, but this time, due to a sudden accident in Chiba, the Chiba Zhongxinyi Academy was short on medical staff, leading the hospital to contact doctors and nurses on leave.

Fujibayashi Muku hadn't returned to the hospital to help, but she didn't want to miss tonight's dinner and would return in time.

"Is it a big problem?"

Lin Ye asked.

"Should be fine, don't worry."

Fujibayashi Kyou gestured, "Please come in."

Led by Fujibayashi Kyou, Lin Ye once again entered the house he had visited several times.

The living room was clean and tidy, a pot of fresh flowers was in full bloom, and the air was filled with a faint floral fragrance.

Because of today's dinner, the sisters had clearly done some cleaning.

"Are your parents not home?"

"No, they're on a business trip again and won't be back for the next two days."

Lin Ye nodded understandingly, "I haven't met your parents yet; it makes me feel like my luck isn't very good."

"Do you want to meet my parents?"

"Just a thought. If I really met them, I'd be afraid of being treated like a future son-in-law visiting; the pressure would be huge."

This sentence instantly caused Fujibayashi Kyou's expression to change slightly, a faint blush appearing.

"Don't get any wild ideas. You are a friend to me and Muku—you were before, you are now, and you will be in the future."

After saying this, Fujibayashi Kyou didn't really have much confidence in Lin Ye; keeping this guy away from Muku was almost impossible. Saying this now wouldn't make Lin Ye easily accept that he was just a friend to the sisters.

But at least she had to state her stance; if she didn't even state her stance, this guy would definitely become even more excessive.

For Fujibayashi Kyou, as long as Lin Ye kept a friendly relationship with her sister for now, once she fulfilled her promise, if her sister and Lin Ye really wanted to be together, she wouldn't say much more.

"The future isn't certain, is it?"

Lin Ye's retort earned him an eye-roll from Fujibayashi Kyou, who brought over a cup of tea and some cookies as snacks, placing them on the coffee table.

"Sit for a while; I'll go to the kitchen to prepare tonight's meal."

"Need any help?"

"There's no reason to make a guest help."

On this point, Fujibayashi Kyou was very insistent, so Lin Ye didn't continue to offer to help in the kitchen.

*Tap, tap... *

Fujibayashi Kyou turned and left the living room, heading to the kitchen to stay busy.

Lin Ye sat on the sofa, his eyes moving, observing the situation around the living room.

A simple and warm home.

Although the Fujibayashi family hadn't moved here long ago, the layout of the living room and the photo of the whole family on the cabinet showed the kindness and friendliness of this family.

This was a loving family.

"Fujibayashi, can I walk around the house and take a look?"

"Sure, but you are not allowed to go into my room,"

"Okay."

"And you can't go into Muku's room either. If I find out you dared to go into Muku's room, heh."

Fujibayashi Kyou hummed twice, expressing her true inner feelings.

"Now that you say that, I'm even more interested."

Lin Ye stood up, raising a playful smile,

which made Fujibayashi Kyou's heart flutter.

"No, you're not allowed to go."

Fujibayashi Kyou held a spatula, warning Lin Ye with her eyes, her tone firm.

"You wouldn't be hiding something unspeakable, would you!"

This sentence seemed to hit Fujibayashi Kyou's heart, making the girl's emotions even more agitated.

"What are you talking about? No, I didn't buy those weird things; you men are the ones who like that kind of stuff."

"Well... Miss Fujibayashi, I don't think I specified what type of thing I was talking about!"

The expression on Fujibayashi Kyou's face froze.

"What other type of thing could you men think of? I've seen plenty of lecherous men like you."

Me, lecherous?

Lin Ye really didn't think he belonged in the lecherous category.

At most, he just skirted the edges a little!

If he were strictly lecherous, when he obtained the time-stop, X-ray, and invisibility superpowers, wouldn't he have used them to the fullest to satisfy his lecherous heart?

But he hadn't done that at all; some of his 'lecherous' behaviors were just drawbacks of the superpowers and had nothing to do with his own will.

"Since you've said so, I won't deny it."

"Hmph, as I thought,"

"I definitely have to check. Let me see if Miss Fujibayashi has those special items. I'm a lecher, and who knows, maybe Miss Fujibayashi is a nymphomaniac,"

After saying this,

Lin Ye turned and walked toward the stairs, his speed catching Fujibayashi Kyou off guard.

"Wait, stop right there."

Fujibayashi Kyou completely disregarded her image, taking large strides to catch up, and immediately grabbed Lin Ye's wrist tightly with one hand.

"You're not allowed to go,"

"Miss Fujibayashi doesn't get to decide that."

The two stood in a standoff.

Lin Ye moved slightly and successfully broke free from Fujibayashi Kyou's grip.

"Lin Ye, don't go, I'm begging you. My room... is a bit messy and not suitable for guests,"

She gritted her teeth in frustration, but her words were a plea, begging Lin Ye.

"Fine!"

Lin Ye had always been one to yield to soft pleas rather than hard resistance;

sometimes he didn't even yield to soft pleas.

But now that Fujibayashi Kyou had softened her stance and made a request, he didn't continue to make things difficult for her.

"Mm."

Fujibayashi Kyou hummed and returned to the kitchen.

"Almost burned it,"

she immediately flipped the ingredients in the frying pan.

*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle... *

Oil splattered, and an enticing aroma kept wafting through the air.

*Ding-dong... *

Lin Ye, who had returned to the living room, had been sitting for less than ten minutes when the doorbell rang.

Lin Ye got up to open the door.

"Oh my, Senior."

It was Iroha Isshiki.

She had arrived.

"Senior, that's too much. You haven't answered my calls for two days, and you didn't reply to my messages. You're so hateful,"
