Chapter 922

Tachibana Rui's gripped hands became even tighter.

That soft touch was even more obvious.

The feeling was quite good.

But if this stimulation continued, he was afraid he would start floating in fantasies.

After the breakthrough of 0, his body was increasingly reacting, seemingly craving more.

Lin Ye took a light deep breath, calming the restless emotions in his heart.

Cultivate the body and mind.

Can't think too much.

Lin Ye gave himself a suggestion.

A few seconds later, Lin Ye patted the girl's back and said, "Tachibana-san, alright, if you keep hugging, I'll have to suspect you're deliberately taking advantage of me."

This made the girl tremble, her hands subconsciously loosening, but not to the point of letting go.

"Hate it?"

A calm voice came; she asked such a question.

"I don't lose out, but you, as a girl, lose out."

"I'm willing."

"You mean it as if I can take advantage of you as much as I want, for example... touching you."

Lin Ye shrugged and said.

Like this, the girl should shyly retreat, right!

The slightly cute girl raised her eyes, and the pair of eyes with blue hair met Lin Ye's gaze.

The next second, her red lips moved slightly, "You can."

She agreed.

She actually agreed.

Lin Ye was astonished for a moment, then accepted it with relief.

Reality is reality, works are works, but in the end, there is still a certain connection between the two.

The situation of the girl in reality was still highly similar to the girl in the work.

In the original work, Tachibana Rui found the male lead to do things adults do because of her sister's words 'you're still young, not an adult yet'.

This girl in reality likely also had this part of similar consciousness and thoughts.

"If you agreed to this unreasonable request of mine to repay my life-saving grace, there's absolutely no need for that."

As the words fell, Tachibana Rui revealed an astonished expression.

In her view, since she had already agreed, shouldn't Lin Ye, as a male, have made a move?

From the previous stroking of hair to stroking skin, from stroking through clothes to direct skin stroking, and finally even possibly to stroking sensitive areas.

She had already prepared herself mentally.

And one of the reasons, also the biggest factor, was the life-saving grace Lin Ye mentioned.

She could use this to repay Lin Ye's kindness; she wasn't resistant, even somewhat welcoming.

If Lin Ye did nothing and asked for no return, she would feel uncomfortable instead.

"Alright."

Lin Ye, who patted the girl's shoulder, placed his hands on the girl's shoulders and gently pushed the girl away with force.

The two were one meter apart.

Tachibana Rui's eyes watched the man in front of her, her heart lingering with meaning.

She felt that this distance now was somewhat uncomfortable, somewhat reluctant.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back."

The time in the restaurant was synchronized with reality,

but dining in the restaurant had taken a lot of time, and his entanglement with the restaurant chef and waiters had also taken quite a bit of time.

Lin Ye walked to the girl's side.

Tachibana Rui followed subconsciously, walking on Lin Ye's right side.

Her gaze always lingered on that dim cheek illuminated by the streetlamp.

"Lin-san, that restaurant later..."

"Nothing happened."

"Hmm?"

Tachibana Rui was stunned.

"Can't you say?"

"It's best not to know."

Looking at the girl's slightly unhappy reaction, Lin Ye had actually thought about whether to use hypnosis to make the girl forget that memory of the restaurant.

On one hand, Lin Ye didn't think it was absolutely necessary for Tachibana Rui to forget this matter; unlike Isshiki, the things Isshiki witnessed needed to be forgotten.

On the other hand, if Tachibana Rui forgot about the restaurant, she might continue to pester him later.

Considering that his future life shouldn't be disturbed by the girl, sparing the girl from retaining that memory was the best choice.

And the disadvantage was that Tachibana Rui, who had contacted the Eerie and held memories related to the Eerie, would have an increased possibility of encountering the Eerie in the future.

But how to put it!

Whether this probability was related to the girl having contacted the Eerie, or simply related to the memory of having cognition of the Eerie, Lin Ye couldn't be sure either.

News from that otaku in Tokyo let him know that the otaku hadn't encountered the Eerie again to this day, so the possibility of those who had contacted it retaining memories related to the Eerie and continuing a normal, peaceful life was still quite high.

Comprehensively speaking,

Lin Ye decided not to use the hypnosis superpower to interfere with Tachibana Rui's memory.

"Why?"

"For your own good."

This sentence immediately triggered Tachibana Rui's memory;

her sister also used this statement in many matters to make her give up deep investigation.

"Is it because I'm too young? If I... grow up and become an adult woman, will it be okay?"

Her words had a bit of desolation.

"It has nothing to do with age; it's best not to know about this matter for a lifetime if possible. Tachibana-san, believe me, at least I won't harm you."

The blue-haired girl's eyes reflected Lin Ye's familiar face.

She blinked and nodded slightly.

"I believe you."

She believed Lin Ye.

In a crisis, Lin Ye prioritized her safety, protected her, let her escape danger first, and was even willing to use valuable Eerie Coins.

For such a male, how could she not believe him!

In the whole world,

besides her parents and sister, the person she trusted most was Lin Ye.

"Hmm, just believe me, don't ask more, don't think more, just let what happened just now become the past forever."

Lin Ye felt much more at ease.

Every girl has different personalities and ways of reacting; a girl with Tachibana Rui's personality, having agreed now, wouldn't go back on her word but would abide by it well.

Tachibana Rui nodded.

The two walked side by side, and under the orange-yellow streetlamp light, their shadows were drawn very long.

Ahead, the train station soon appeared in the field of vision.

Lin Ye asked again, "What was the matter with asking me for a private talk this time? Tachibana-san hasn't told me yet."

The blue-haired girl stopped her pace.

She noticed the scattered passersby around.

"Here... it's not suitable."

Because there were people, she had concerns and didn't want to be heard by others.

"There's no park nearby either."

Lin Ye took out his phone and looked at the electronic map; the nearest park was also two kilometers away, and besides, parks weren't necessarily empty.
