Chapter 319

The thin-skinned girl made meaningless sounds of resistance.

"Shall I tell Kitakami-kun that you like him?"

Xiang Xiang Yingli hadn't forgotten what she promised Kitakami Yoru.

A massive secret.

Besides this, she had one other thing in her hand that could count as one.

It was about her own experience.

"Let's talk about Yumiko. I think Yumiko is acting a bit strange."

Yuigahama Yui forcibly changed the subject.

After saying this, she remembered that Miura Yumiko also liked Hayama Hayato but had never been with him, nor had she confessed.

The situation was exactly the same.

Climbing the steps, Kitakami Yoru coughed twice and followed.

"Where does Kitakami-kun live?"

Xiang Xiang Yingli turned around and asked naturally.

"I live alone in a studio apartment, two stops from school, not too far away."

Kitakami Yoru answered without thinking.

"That's so close. I live quite far away, and the key thing is it's in the opposite direction..."

Xiang Xiang Yingli frowned slightly and complained.

Yuigahama Yui, standing to the side, was almost stunned.

"Is it really okay to be so direct when asking a boy where he lives?"

"Xiang Yingli is so open-minded and amazing. She's not afraid at all..."

Secretly shocked, Yuigahama Yui imagined herself in that situation...

Forget it...

"How about you take Yui home? My place is really too far."

Suddenly, Xiang Xiang Yingli, who had shown a struggling expression a second ago, instantly switched to testing the waters.

"I don't mind. If your place is far, you can leave first."

Kitakami Yoru didn't think at all, having already fallen into the trap woven by Xiang Xiang Yingli.

"Yui is fine with it too. I just asked her. I'll leave it to you."

Xiang Xiang Yingli blinked repeatedly at Kitakami Yoru, which was actually a secret signal unique to sisters.

"Then I'll take you home, Yuigahama-san."

Kitakami Yoru looked down at Yuigahama Yui's injured calf.

68: No traces of a man's life.

Yuigahama Yui hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, but she was made dizzy by Xiang Xiang Yingli and Kitakami Yoru's few words.

"How did it turn out like this..."

"Kitakami-kun is taking me home tonight?"

"How strange..."

"Yui, say yes."

Xiang Xiang Yingli couldn't help but urge Yuigahama Yui, who hadn't reacted for a long time.

"Oh? Yeah! Okay, no problem."

The startled girl's expression carried a hint of panic.

"Where is your place?"

Kitakami Yoru looked at Yuigahama Yui and asked.

"In Higashi-Ikebukuro..."

Xiang Xiang Yingli answered for Yuigahama Yui.

"This silly child, sigh..."

After saying this, she sighed secretly at Yuigahama Yui's performance.

"Kitakami-kun, will it be a bother to you?"

Yuigahama Yui came back to her senses and spoke.

"No, Higashi-Ikebukuro isn't very far."

Kitakami Yoru smiled.

"Since that's the case, I'll go first. It's really not on my way."

Xiang Xiang Yingli felt relieved, pointed to the transfer passage, and said to Kitakami Yoru.

"Stay safe."

Kitakami Yoru nodded and walked to Yuigahama Yui's side.

After waving, Xiang Xiang Yingli secretly blinked triumphantly at Yuigahama Yui, out of Kitakami Yoru's line of sight.

"About the massive secret..."

"Forget it, I'll wait for Xiang Xiang Yingli to tell me herself."

Watching Xiang Xiang Yingli leave, Kitakami Yoru remembered this and muttered, turning to face Yuigahama Yui.

They happened to make eye contact.

"Ki... Kitakami-kun..."

Yuigahama Yui's soft, fragrant body trembled, and she quickly looked away with dodging eyes.

"Anyway, no one saw the milking incident, so I won't go around talking about it."

"Set your mind at ease, Yuigahama-san."

Kitakami Yoru naturally assumed that Yuigahama Yui was shy in front of him because of that incident.

After all...

A large amount of rich, warm, milky white liquid had splashed onto his face, emitting a faint, fishy smell...

"Even the most innocent person would definitely misunderstand if they heard that..."

"It was just too similar..."

"Mm..."

Kitakami Yoru tilted his head, his expression gradually becoming strange.

"O... okay..."

Yuigahama Yui shrank her neck and buried her head in her chest.

Evening rush hour.

The station was crowded.

When the train was about to enter the station, Kitakami Yoru used his tall stature to lead Yuigahama Yui to the front row, where they stood quietly.

After the train entered the platform, those getting off and those getting on squeezed in together.

Near the door, a seat on a bench happened to become vacant.

They grabbed it decisively, and the two sat with their thighs pressed tightly together.

"Does your leg still hurt?"

Kitakami Yoru sat down and asked casually.

"It won't hurt if I don't do strenuous exercise."

Yuigahama Yui tilted her head to one side.

Sitting opposite them were likely two high school girls, or at the very least, college students.

Their eyes were bright, staring unblinkingly at Kitakami Yoru.

How could there be such a good-looking boy...

Yuigahama Yui subsequently noticed this and had no idea what to do.

Fortunately, Kitakami Yoru closed his eyes to rest.

About forty minutes later.

They got off at Higashi-Ikebukuro Station.

"Should we have dinner together before going back, or go back now?"

Swiping his card to exit the station, Kitakami Yoru's gaze swept over Yuigahama Yui's pair of long, white legs.

When they returned from Chiba, they hadn't eaten together.

"Eat at home."

Yuigahama Yui didn't hesitate at all; shy as an ostrich, how could she dare to have dinner with Kitakami Yoru?

"Lead the way. Is it close?"

"If not, we can take a taxi."

Kitakami Yoru paused for two seconds, remembered the girl's mother, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui, and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "We can have Yuigahama-san come pick us up by car."

"At this hour, she should be free, right?"

"Yeah, wait a moment, I'll make a call."

Yuigahama Yui's eyes lit up.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Leaving these words, Kitakami Yoru followed the signs to the restroom.

When he returned.

He was holding two bottles of water and a bag of biscuits and snacks.

"Just eat something."

Handing over the food and water, Kitakami Yoru said.

"Mm, my mom is driving over now."

Yuigahama Yui took them and conveyed her thanks with her eyes.

She drank some water and left the station with Kitakami Yoru.

They found a bench outside the station and sat for a while.

Less than ten minutes, probably.

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui drove over, parking on the side of the road with her hazard lights on.

"Yui, Mom is here."

"Oh, Kitakami-kun, you're here too?"

Hearing that her precious, cute daughter was injured, Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui, as a single mother, was very worried and drove quickly to get Yuigahama Yui.

Sigh...

Assuming a mother who dotes on her daughter so much, if the boy her daughter likes doesn't like her daughter, in what way should the mother keep the person her daughter likes?

Smile...

"We... we went out to play on a whim, didn't have time to say."

Yuigahama Yui's spirit jumped; how could she have forgotten about Kitakami Yoru?

"Yuigahama-san's leg is injured."

Kitakami Yoru politely kept his distance from the daughter in front of the mother.

"Is it serious?"

"I'll take a close look when we get home."

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui acted as if Kitakami Yoru didn't exist, squatted down, and with her ample chest swaying, pointed her finger at the outer side of Yuigahama Yui's calf wound.

"It doesn't hurt here."

Yuigahama Yui shook her head reluctantly.

"Have you had dinner? What about Kitakami-kun?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui stood up and looked at Kitakami Yoru to ask.

"No... not yet..." The words on Kitakami Yoru's lips immediately stuck.

At this moment, the experience Yuigahama Yui had earlier transferred to Kitakami Yoru.

She must have been in such a hurry to come out that Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui was wearing a yoga outfit that fit her mature, ample, and juicy body perfectly!

Her hair was pulled up into a bun at the back of her head.

A few stray strands of hair were dampened by a light, lingering sweat.

A high-end body wash mixed with a wonderful body fragrance drifted toward Kitakami Yoru as she spoke with her red lips.

If I look a few more times, I will definitely...

"Huff..."

Exhaling forcefully through his nose, Kitakami Yoru stood up quickly, intending to leave.

"Thank you for bringing Yui back. Since you haven't eaten, would you like to come to my place and sit for a while?"

"Have some dinner?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui asked, and judging by her expression and tone, it really wasn't just polite talk.

"Is that really okay..."

Kitakami Yoru's footsteps stopped.

"It's fine, I haven't had dinner either. It's just right for the three of us."

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui waved her hand and said.

"Mom... you... that's impossible..."

Yuigahama Yui's eyes widened, and she let out a silent protest in her heart.

Why would she invite Kitakami-kun back home?

"It's fine, get in the car. It won't be a bother."

"You played all day, you must be very hungry since you haven't eaten."

"Yui's leg is injured, it's not convenient to eat out. Let's go home and take a look first."

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui said, reaching out to pull Kitakami Yoru.

"Then I..."

Kitakami Yoru's heart skipped a beat, his gaze shifting to Yuigahama Yui's pretty, tender face.

The familiar car.

The back seat.

Kitakami Yoru chuckled at the shy Yuigahama Yui, feeling a bit embarrassed himself.

"Kitakami-kun, what do you like to eat?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui turned the steering wheel and looked at the handsome Kitakami Yoru through the rearview mirror.

"Anything is fine, I'm not a picky eater." Kitakami Yoru replied casually.

Faced with such a question, no one would be silly enough to overthink it, right?

"Mm, it's fine."

"Actually, Yui is a bit picky. It doesn't matter if you say it out loud."

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui pursed her lips.

"Mom..."

The next second, Yuigahama Yui's dissatisfied complaint sounded.

"Just joking. Yui, you're not going to school tomorrow, right?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui hummed lightly.

"No, I'm taking a day off."

Leaning back into her seat dejectedly, Yuigahama Yui crossed her arms and secretly glanced at Kitakami Yoru.

His expression was normal.

Everything was fine.

"Okay, I'll help you ask for leave from Hiratsuka-sensei later."

"Can you tell Mom specifically how your leg got injured?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui asked about the serious matter.

"At the ranch, I tripped while walking and fell onto a rock."

When Yuigahama Yui said this, she felt speechless and regretful.

"Does Kitakami-kun know?"

Yuigahama Yuigahama Xianghui tapped the brake lightly and looked back at Kitakami Yoru.

"No, I only found out later that Yuigahama-san had fallen and gotten hurt."
