"Of course! No!" Yayoi flatly refused.
What are high school students thinking about these days?! Yayoi cursed in her heart. Is it all just perverted garbage?
"Then there's really nothing worth mentioning," Hayato said, losing interest.
"...What?!" Yayoi's eyes widened. This guy was too audacious, wasn't he? D-did he think that just because she invited him to eat a few times, he could develop that kind of relationship with her?!
A-although he was quite handsome, and she had seen him in the infirmary—
Yayoi's legs trembled slightly.
She had previously thought it "wouldn't be a loss," and now this idea became even more prominent.
But she suppressed the flutter in her heart—if she agreed, what would happen to her was beside the point. This young man would definitely go down a path of no return.
Yayoi would never let that happen.
"Yayoi-sensei," Hayato pulled out his phone, his lips curving upwards: "You don't want yesterday's audio to be leaked, do you?"
—!! Yayoi looked at Hayato in disbelief.
Was this little brat so sneaky and malicious? Where did he learn such disgusting tricks!?
She looked at Hayato.
Her horrified eyes met his calm ones. Yayoi swallowed again, and after her throat moved, she made up her mind:
"Gulp… Do whatever you want!"
"Ha, I just want you to help me buy beer from the convenience store—" Hayato said helplessly. "Since you're unwilling to agree, then I'll invite Aiwu Guang to review last night's scene again."
Saying that, he opened the video on his phone without a care.
First, he let Yayoi see her own embarrassing state from last night.
Actually, the content was not R-rated at all; it could even be called all-ages.
It was just extremely unfriendly to Yayoi.
Because…
"Guh-hehehe~~~~"
"Come give mama a kiss~~~~~"
"Wahahahahaha, Mr. Hayashi, mama's going to take you back to be my bandit chieftain's wife."
It was all such exaggerated and ridiculous Ugly.
Aiya Yayoi immediately squatted in the corner, feeling self-conscious, looking at Hayato with a dark expression:
"Delete it, I agree, I'll go buy you beer…"
However, it turned out that "things unsuitable for minors" referred to buying beer, which Yayoi really hadn't expected… He had made it sound so ambiguous that it had even made her slightly excited.
But if she thought about it, ah. Boys can "do it" from 14 years old, but drinking alcohol requires being twenty.
It truly was "unsuitable for minors."
Let's rewind to today.
"When did you start calling him 'Xiao Lin's brother'?" Yayoi asked Aiya Hiroshi.
Aiya Hiroshi thought for a moment, "Just recently, why?"
"Don't you think," Yayoi's forehead twitched, "that putting 'Yayoi-nee' and 'Xiao Lin's brother' together sounds a bit strange?"
"...Indeed, it feels like I'm reaching too high," Aiwu Guang nodded.
"Let me ask first, who do you mean is reaching too high?"
"Of course, Yayoi-nee, you're reaching too—"
Before he could finish, Aiwu Guang's head was met with an iron fist.
"Do you really think your sister-in-law is unmarriable?!" Yayoi huffed.
Aiwu Guang clutched his head in pain, his face contorted, but after hearing Yayoi's accusation, he instead revealed a knowing smile.
"Of course not, Yayoi-nee. I know everything," Aiya Hiroshi said with a smile, "My parents advised you to remarry... They escaped reality and went back to the countryside, only you stayed in Shikenjaya. You're just unable to let go of the past."
Yayoi was silent for a moment. She looked back at Aiya Hiroshi, her gaze softening. "Aiya Hiroshi, I..."
"But you shouldn't set your sights on Xiao Lin's brother. He's way out of your league—" Aiya Hiroshi said, waving his hand, with an expression that clearly said, 'I'm not looking down on you.'
"Go to hell! You hang out with that brat for two days and you're closer to him than your sister-in-law, huh?!" Yayoi said, about to kick him, but fortunately, Aiya Hiroshi had anticipated it and ran away quickly.
Yayoi 'hmph'ed twice, then raised her hand.
On her finger, she still wore that pull tab from a can, gleaming under the incandescent light.
Yayoi considered herself a mature older sister; if something bothered her, she would say it directly.
This time was no different.
"Hey, brat, are you not interested in this older sister at all?" Yayoi raised an eyebrow at Hayato at the time. "An older sister who's hungover is lying in your arms, and you don't have any other thoughts?"
Yayoi suspected there was something wrong with her charm.
"I do," Hayato answered very seriously, but Yayoi didn't believe him, thinking it was just a child trying to save her face.
Then Hayato gave a well-reasoned and convincing explanation:
"But I'm afraid you'll throw up in my mouth if we kiss."
After saying that, he was chased by Yayoi for at least ten minutes.
Kobayashi Ayaka, Shigen Ryouka, and Miyajima Sakura.
Yayoi recalled these young girls who had interacted with Hayato. Not to mention that I, Yayoi, have become an old hag; even in my youth, I couldn't compete with them.
Aiya Yayoi smiled, wanting to throw the pull tab into the trash can.
After thinking about it, she stood on her tiptoes and placed it on the highest shelf.
It's better if it's out of sight.
Yayoi thought, then yawned, grabbed a can of beer, and lazily walked towards the second floor.
...
At Yayoi's doorstep.
Yukino Fuyumi followed behind Hayato, subconsciously looking towards the light on the second floor.
Then her cheeks puffed up like steamed buns.
Hayato is just a young boy, so it's normal for him to like girls his age.
But why is he so close to that old hag (derogatory term) who lives across the street?! Isn't that old hag even older than her?
They can chat and laugh, but when it comes to her, all that's left is "I don't like you anymore"?
Yukino Fuyumi was even so angry that her heart ached.
Why should I want you to like me, why should I want you to like me, why should I want you to like me? Who are you to say you don't like me!
"—Hiss." Hayato gasped.
He looked back.
The red-eyed Yukino Fuyumi was staring intensely at his back, and a biting cold wind swirled behind him.
If it had been Nanao Akane who encountered trouble this time, Hayato would have definitely scolded her for being too careless going out late at night, at least to pay attention to safety.
But for this woman, he didn't feel that way, because he suspected Yukino Fuyumi was doing it on purpose, wanting to give that black guy a hard time—speaking of which, it was careless not to finish him off just now. However, given the latter's mental state and vital signs at the time, even if he didn't finish him off, he probably wouldn't have lived much longer.
He followed the two not to save Yukino Fuyumi, but with the intention of "beating someone."
In fact, ever since he transmigrated, he had always wanted to find something to vent his frustrations on, and that black guy became a suitable punching bag...
Saving Yukino Fuyumi was just a matter of convenience.
He didn't want this woman's gratitude, but repaying kindness with enmity was a bit too much.
