Lin Ye had never imagined he would stop Yukino in such a way, but the effectiveness of this method seemed genuinely quite good.
At the very least, Yukino had now given up struggling and let him kiss her.
Feeling the girl's lips, soft as jelly, Lin Ye couldn't help but continue kissing, even pressing the girl down onto the infirmary bed, savoring her red lips while both his hands began moving of their own accord, taking some liberties with the girl.
This was probably because of that night with Ryou Fujibayashi, which had flipped certain forbidden switches in Lin Ye's heart, allowing his hands to unconsciously do such things.
Panting heavily,
Lin Ye heard the girl's muffled whimpers.
In the end, a sudden sharp sting on his lips abruptly brought Lin Ye back to his senses for a moment.
He lifted his head, looking at the girl right before his eyes—the glimmer of tears in her eyes was unmistakable.
"Don't go too far,"
she said with a cold expression.
It was only then that Lin Ye realized his right hand had been touching a certain part of the girl.
"Sorry, Yukino,"
He withdrew his hand, gently reaching out his fingers to wipe away the tears from the girl's eyes.
These tears pained him to see.
Yet his gaze gradually drifted down from the girl's bright eyes and finally settled once more on her red lips, and that wonderful sensation from before suddenly resurfaced.
Reluctance, a fluttering heart, the desire to do it again.
Sensing where Lin Ye's burning gaze lingered, the girl let out a soft sigh. Her eyes shifted away slightly, and finally she slowly closed them, only her long lashes trembling faintly.
The meaning was self-evident.
Compared to the forced kiss before,
now Yukinoshita was permitting him to kiss her.
"Whew…"
His heart raced, pounding even more violently.
Lin Ye adjusted his posture and once again leaned down, sealing the girl's lips.
This time, the girl did not resist—she even actively cooperated.
This elevated Lin Ye's experience and the sensation even further.
Five minutes later,
Lin Ye stopped. Yukinoshita was panting heavily, her face and ears flushed red, her bright eyes not daring to look at Lin Ye.
Yukino Yukinoshita recalled what had just happened, pursing her lips. Her first kiss really had been lost in such an unexpected way!
Her first kiss stolen by a forced kiss—
At first she had hated it, found it utterly distasteful; she was unwilling to have her first kiss taken by this man who hadn't even cut ties with other girls.
But,
by now, her heart had already accepted it, and she felt that having it taken by Lin Ye wasn't something unacceptable after all.
At that very moment,
Click—the infirmary door opened,
and a woman in a white coat barged in.
It wasn't the infirmary teacher, but Shizuka Hiratsuka.
"You two…"
Shizuka Hiratsuka was dumbfounded.
Staring at Lin Ye and Yukino Yukinoshita lying on the bed with their clothes in disarray, all she felt was shock upon shock.
Lin Ye aside, Yukino Yukinoshita's impression on her was that of a serious, diligent, model student who would never get involved in something like sneaking off to the infirmary to fool around with a boy.
But now, the scene before her forced her to realize just how wrong her assumption had been.
The colder and more aloof a girl appeared on the outside, the more passionate and excitable she was on the inside?
Unbidden, this thought sprang into Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind.
Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned too!
Of all the scenarios she'd calculated, she'd never imagined that Hiratsuka-sensei would come to the infirmary at this very moment,
and as for herself…
She lowered her head and saw her Sobu High uniform in disarray, exposing a glimpse of fair, tender skin, and her face instantly flushed crimson.
No, no, it's not like that.
She instinctively wanted to open her mouth to explain, but then felt that speaking up would only be making excuses instead.
She was already so utterly conflicted that she didn't know what to do.
"Sensei,"
Lin Ye spoke up, "this has nothing to do with Yukinoshita,"
"Hm?"
Lin Ye's words as he sat up left both of them puzzled.
"I took advantage of her vulnerability—right now, while Yukinoshita is feeling unwell, I forcibly kissed her and took liberties with her. Sensei, if you want to hit me or scold me, direct it all at me alone! Calling the police is fine too."
Not knowing the girl's true thoughts right now, Lin Ye decided to take the blame upon himself first, to reduce Shizuka Hiratsuka's misunderstanding of Yukinoshita.
Of course, Lin Ye was also ninety percent certain that Shizuka Hiratsuka wouldn't do anything extreme, such as calling the police.
She would more likely handle it appropriately—even if Yukinoshita wanted to pursue the matter, she would act as a mediator to smooth things over. And right now, there was no way Yukinoshita would pursue the matter, so Shizuka Hiratsuka was all the less likely to do anything extreme.
"Lin Ye, do you know what you're doing? This is harassment, you could be arrested for it,"
In Japan, harassing a woman was a serious crime.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was exasperated, nearly driven mad with anger.
She had assumed Yukinoshita and Lin Ye were dating, secretly carrying on a romance here, but it turned out Lin Ye had forced himself on her—which actually cleared everything up for her.
How could Yukinoshita possibly date Lin Ye!
There was absolutely no chance of that.
"Sensei, I'm willing to bear the corresponding consequences for my actions. Go ahead and call the police!"
Shizuka Hiratsuka: ???
I never even intended to call the police, yet you're telling me to have you arrested. Do you think the police station is some fun place you can casually walk out of after going in?
This would leave a criminal record. As a foreign exchange student, once you're arrested and it's on record, even after being released you'd be deported.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was furious.
"Yukinoshita, what do you say,"
Shizuka Hiratsuka had no intention of actually calling the police, so in the end she tossed the question to Yukinoshita. If Yukinoshita planned to let Lin Ye off, that would be best; if Yukinoshita planned to call the police and have him arrested,
then she would act as the peacemaker, putting in a good word to make Yukinoshita abandon the idea.
She really didn't want Lin Ye to end up at the police station over this.
Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips in silence, her navy-blue eyes fixed steadily on Lin Ye,
which made Shizuka Hiratsuka nervous. Yet Lin Ye, the very one facing judgment, looked perfectly calm, without a trace of nervousness.
Shizuka Hiratsuka was livid—at this point, Lin Ye should be apologizing properly, showing his remorse and a willingness to make amends, but instead this guy was truly just lying flat, not caring about anything.
"Kill him,"
Shizuka Hiratsuka: ???
Her eyes went wide—surely it wouldn't come to killing him!
"Yukinoshita, calm down a little,"
"My first kiss was stolen by him. Killing him would be letting him off easy,"
The angry words carried a faint trace of sorrow. Yukino Yukinoshita was full of icy chill, but most of it was an act—she was pretending to be angry and furious.
"This… apologize, quickly, Lin Ye, hurry and apologize, offer your apology and seek Yukinoshita's forgiveness. I think Yukinoshita won't make things too hard for you,"
Patting Lin Ye on the shoulder, Shizuka Hiratsuka urged him forcefully.
A girl's first kiss is precious, and an innocent girl like Yukino Yukinoshita would be even more conservative. Yet today, this girl had clearly not only had her first kiss stolen but had even had liberties taken with her body.
Shizuka Hiratsuka truly couldn't believe that the usually low-profile Lin Ye would do something like this—going all the way to such a big move right off the bat. If she hadn't come, would Lin Ye have continued to the next step?
Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't even dare to keep imagining it.
If Lin Ye really had gone to the next step, this would no longer be a forgivable illegal act, but a genuine criminal offense.
Even she wouldn't want to step in and beg mercy for him.
"Student Yukinoshita, I'm sorry,"
"..."
Yukino Yukinoshita watched coldly.
After a moment, she slowly opened her mouth, "Take responsibility."
Those two words rang out.
Shizuka Hiratsuka's mouth fell slightly open, her eyes filled with astonishment.
Take responsibility—what did that mean?
Could this possibly mean she wanted Lin Ye to become Yukinoshita's boyfriend?
Holy crap, holy crap, oh my.
Shizuka Hiratsuka screamed inwardly—was this not all wrong? Lin Ye forces a kiss, and the result is Yukinoshita wants to date Lin Ye? Wasn't this making out like a bandit?
Just thinking about it, the desire of envy began to surge within Shizuka Hiratsuka. She even wished her own guess were false.
Soon,
Yukino Yukinoshita's cool, clear voice rang out again.
"Anyone who can kiss me, who can touch my body, must at the very least be my boyfriend. A relationship beneath that, I will not allow. I will choose to use appropriate means to retaliate and make him pay the price."
We… we're already engaged, aren't we! And even more than that, boyfriend and girlfriend.
Lin Ye knew that for Yukino Yukinoshita to say this, she definitely had her own purpose. This was absolutely not merely about letting Hiratsuka-sensei know of their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship;
there was surely another purpose he hadn't yet figured out.
"Student Lin, what's your answer? Accept, or refuse?"
Since you've put it that way, do I have any grounds to refuse?
If I refuse, isn't that exactly giving you the answer to your 'either-or'? It would give you a perfectly legitimate reason to end your relationship with me.
Shizuka Hiratsuka gritted her teeth—the dreaded spectacle she least wanted to witness, being force-fed dog food, had appeared. And what angered her even more was that Lin Ye actually seemed to be hesitating, as if reluctant to agree.
Yukino Yukinoshita, the ice-cold beauty of Sobu High, the dream girl of so many men, and moreover a girl you once confessed to—and now you're actually hesitating, reluctant to accept?
Are you kidding me.
Since you don't want to accept Yukinoshita, to make her your girlfriend, then why did you just kiss the girl and take liberties with her?
Shizuka Hiratsuka was nearly going mad.
"I accept,"
Lin Ye gave his answer.
Yukino Yukinoshita felt faintly helpless. It wasn't that she hadn't entertained the thought of Lin Ye refusing, but Lin Ye accepted after all.
"Good. In that case, as my first request as your girlfriend, I want you to be devoted to me alone, to like only me, to love me and me alone, and to not have overly intimate contact with any other woman."
Anywhere in the world, this would be a perfectly normal request.
In a relationship between a man and a woman, asking the other to be faithful to you could be called the most basic of requests.
Since Lin Ye had chosen to accept, Yukino Yukinoshita then deployed another plan.
"Sorry, I can't do that,"
But Lin Ye gave an answer that, while within Yukinoshita's expectations, was sigh-inducing all the same.
She had wanted to use Shizuka Hiratsuka to pressure Lin Ye into agreeing, even if only verbally, but in the end Lin Ye paid it no mind at all. He didn't care in the slightest about Shizuka Hiratsuka being present, instead bluntly stating his true inner thoughts.
Inexplicably, it was saddening!
"Hey, hey, hey, Lin Ye, has your brain gone fuzzy? Yukinoshita—Yukinoshita is willing to be your girlfriend, and you're still unwilling? You're going to refuse? Have you lost your mind?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka was shocked once again.
She had absolutely never expected Lin Ye to say he couldn't do it. Was that something a person would say?
Was this doing right by such a beautiful girlfriend?
A beautiful girl that so many men longed for, and this guy actually dared to act this way—Shizuka Hiratsuka could hardly imagine it.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, as I mentioned before, I—I've now fallen for Mai Sakurajima. Asking me to let go of Mai, I… I can't do that."
Shizuka Hiratsuka: "..."
She genuinely thought Lin Ye's brain had malfunctioned.
Mai Sakurajima was beautiful and popular, but compared to Yukinoshita, at most she had the advantage in fame. In terms of looks and appearance, the two were evenly matched—Shizuka Hiratsuka even thought Yukinoshita was far prettier.
But the issue was that right now one girl was willing to be his girlfriend, while the other was far away in Tokyo, with no contact or interaction whatsoever. And he'd still choose that out-of-reach Mai Sakurajima over the Yukinoshita right before his eyes?
At the very least, if Shizuka Hiratsuka were the one choosing, she would definitely pick Yukinoshita over Mai Sakurajima.
"Yukinoshita, he must be running a fever, his brain's gone foggy. I'll call the infirmary teacher over right away to take a look at him."
She was making excuses for Lin Ye; she was fighting for one last chance for him.
"My mind is perfectly clear, and Yukinoshita knows I'm serious,"
Lin Ye's tone was calm.
The two of them had once again returned to this dispute.
Their previous dispute had ended because of Lin Ye's Hypnosis, and the second dispute had been forcibly interrupted by Lin Ye's kiss. This was the third time—what would the outcome be this time?
Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, could I trouble you to step outside for a moment?"
She wanted to talk with Lin Ye alone.
"I… I understand. The two of you talk privately."
Shizuka Hiratsuka cooperatively left, leaving the infirmary space to the two of them.
Today, she had truly had her eyes opened.
Lin Ye forced a kiss, Yukinoshita accepted and expressed willingness to become his girlfriend and officially date, and the result was that Lin Ye was willing but couldn't accept being faithful to Yukinoshita.
If this were spoken aloud, no one would believe Lin Ye had behaved this way.
After all, this was Yukino Yukinoshita—a beautiful, lovely girl from a good family, adored by who knew how many men.
'Click…'
The door closed.
Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to eavesdrop, to know what they were discussing inside, but in the end she held back, not stepping forward to press against the door and commit such an unseemly act.
Inside the infirmary,
Yukino Yukinoshita and Lin Ye locked eyes, silence spreading ceaselessly.
"Whew…"
Yukino Yukinoshita lightly exhaled a breath. "So this is your decision?"
"Mm."
"It can't be changed?"
"I…"
He looked at Yukinoshita and continued, "I want it all. I'm very greedy."
Lin Ye reached out to take the girl's hand, but the girl pulled her hand back.
"That's impossible, and you know it."
"With me, there's nothing impossible. I'll make it become reality."
Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Lin Ye. "Are you planning to use that Hypnosis ability of yours again—the one that distorts people's hearts and alters their consciousness and memories?"
"I can promise you, Yukino, that I won't use Hypnosis on you again."
"So, you have other magical abilities, don't you!"
Now,
Yukino Yukinoshita already understood Lin Ye's situation.
This guy had multiple abilities, and the variety would only keep growing.
In the future, abilities similar to Hypnosis—capable of altering people's hearts and memories—appearing again was absolutely possible.
In the past, she wouldn't have thought along these lines, but now, she would only think along these lines more and more.
Up to now, just how many magical abilities had Lin Ye already displayed?
Every single one was an ability ordinary people craved, yet he alone possessed so many of them.
"I do,"
"What?"
"There are some even I don't know about—at least the current me doesn't know,"
Yukino Yukinoshita fell silent.
She didn't think Lin Ye would deceive her on this point, at least.
"You are not to alter my memories or distort my consciousness again,"
she said seriously, "and in exchange, I can maintain our current relationship with you, and I won't force you to break up with Mai Sakurajima and end your romantic relationship,"
If she pressured Lin Ye, it would only backfire, only provoke Lin Ye into using unconventional means to achieve his goals.
Yukino Yukinoshita did not want to be hypnotized and lose herself again, nor did she want her memories to be affected once more.
Last time, Lin Ye's Hypnosis had held something back—it had merely made her accept the situation of him and Mai Sakurajima.
This showed that Lin Ye had no intention of distorting her into a woman without self-consciousness.
And she had absolutely no wish to become that kind of walking corpse.
Therefore,
Yukino Yukinoshita also knew that changing Lin Ye's mind had to be done gradually, not all at once. Forcing was the worst possible approach, the one most likely to invite a fierce counterattack from Lin Ye.
Compared to her, Lin Ye had far too many methods. Hypnosis alone could leave her without any means to defend herself.
This time she had been able to recover her memories, but what about next time? Could she truly manage to recover her memories every single time?
And even taking ten thousand steps back, even if she recovered her memories every time, there would still be at least a few days in between.
And during those few days,
recalling her own state over those days, Lin Ye could do whatever he pleased, and she would surely accept it.
Just now, too—Lin Ye's forced kiss—in the end she had accepted it, had even tacitly allowed it.
"Fine, I agree to your terms,"
Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. For Lin Ye, this was absolutely a good thing—the girl was willing to accept the current relationship, to accept the three-person arrangement.
Was there any news better than this?
"Yukino, if you have any other conditions, feel free to bring them up. As long as I can do it, I'll agree as much as possible,"
At this moment, Lin Ye, in a great mood, went so far as to directly make this promise, all to make the girl happier.
"I do,"
Yukinoshita said without reserve, "You are not to force me to do things I don't want to do, things I'm averse to,"
"This…"
"You can't?"
The girl drew out her words, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.
"I can, but I can only promise you I'll try not to,"
"Try?"
Not an ounce of sincerity.
She was extremely dissatisfied.
"Mm,"
Lin Ye let out a hum, then continued, "For example, just now when I kissed you, Yukino—at first you were unwilling, you were averse to it, but…"
Yukinoshita's face flushed red.
This bastard, daring to cite something like that as an example.
"So, Yukino,"
"You're not allowed to touch my hand,"
Lin Ye sat down beside her, wrapping his arm around the girl's slender waist.
"Yukino, I want…"
"Not allowed,"
But Lin Ye leaned in close.
Facing the ever-approaching Lin Ye, Yukino Yukinoshita pushed at him for a while, but in the end she gave up struggling and just let Lin Ye do as he pleased.
Once again,
their lips met, kissing together.
In the infirmary, a sweet, ambiguous atmosphere spread.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the first-year grade,
a first-year girl wore an unpleasant expression.
