Chapter 945: Temperance, Sleepless Night【7k】

"Lin-kun,"

Hina pointed her right index finger at her own abdomen, her playful gaze rising, and she continued with a full smile, "What do you think we should name our future child?"

Lin Ye slowly projected a few question marks.

A child?

Your train of thought is jumping quite far.

"Let's end the jokes here."

"I'm serious! I want to bear a child for Lin-kun."

She smiled; the words were a joke, yet the way she spoke made one unable to help but believe them.

"Don't."

"Is one not enough? Then two, or perhaps three would be fine too. Any more than that won't do. If Lin-kun really wants more by then, I'll have no choice but to ask Yukino for help."

Aren't you the one most opposed to me getting close to your sister?

Why are you using your sister to bewitch me again?

Part truth, part lie, reality and illusion intertwined.

Lin Ye knew he just needed to grasp the core of Hina's words; he shouldn't be mesmerized by her superficial behavior, but rather seize the essence of the matter.

"Skip the middle process and just let Yukino do it directly."

In an instant,

Lin Ye captured a flash of astonishment and unwillingness on Hina's face.

This sister-complex still didn't want Lin Ye to get close to the sister she loved and cared for most.

Otherwise, why would Hina arrive so promptly every time he visited Yukino's apartment recently?

"I can't skip that process! If I'm skipped, how can I make you happy, Lin-kun?"

"I'd be even happier if you were skipped."

"How sad. How can Lin-kun treat a great beauty like me this way!"

"An annoying great beauty can be dealt with like this."

"Even sadder now. I really don't know why a big star like Sakurajima Mai would like a boy like Lin-kun."

Hina sighed.

Lin Ye smiled, "Can't you guess the reason?"

Now that Sakurajima Mai's presence had been restored and the memories of those involved had returned, it was impossible for Hina not to know the reason; one must know that Hina had participated in this event from beginning to end.

"Sigh, a hero saving a beauty, rescuing a damsel in distress from the depths of hell—it's no wonder Sakurajima Mai fell for you."

Putting herself in those shoes,

Hina felt that even she might have fallen. She was already a fairly rational girl,

more rational, more mature, calculating based on interests and gains.

She was many times stronger than Yukino.

But if she faced the same situation as Sakurajima Mai, facing a Lin Ye who reached out to help regardless of the cost, her strictly controlled maiden heart would sprout, grow, and perhaps even bloom into charming flowers in the end.

"Lin Ye is truly too formidable; girl after girl falls into your gentleness."

"You are not, you have not."

"Hahahaha..."

Hina's smile was brilliant.

Lin Ye said goodbye to Hina.

She walked him a few steps before returning. Arriving at Yukino's apartment again, she didn't detect any problems in the living room.

How should she put it!

Knowing Lin Ye had come to Yukino's apartment, she panicked!

Even if she knew she could guard against him for a moment but not for a lifetime, anxiety was anxiety. To soothe her inner worries and seek peace of mind,

Hina knew her state was wrong, but she couldn't avoid it. When it involved her sister, she was often unable to remain rational.

"Sigh!"

If she wanted true peace of mind in the future, either Lin Ye had to leave Yukino completely, or... he had to truly be with Yukino.

Hina sighed softly and arrived before Yukino's bedroom.

'Knock, knock, knock...'

She knocked on her sister's bedroom door.

"Please come in."

From the rhythm of the knocking, Yukino knew it was her sister.

Today, her sister had visited once again.

To be honest, the frequency was a bit high.

Thinking of how her sister had arrived both times when Lin Ye was there, she couldn't help but connect the two.

Once might be a coincidence, but twice? The possibility of it being a coincidence was very small.

Yukino quickly arrived at a guess.

This guess made her dissatisfied with her sister.

"Good evening, Yukino."

Before responding, Yukino tried her best to sit up and lean back, making herself look more natural.

"Sister, is something the matter?"

"Can't I visit Yukino even if there's nothing the matter?"

Hina finished speaking and walked to the bedside, "Yukino, guess who I ran into when I arrived?"

"Lin Ye."
