Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Betrothal Banquet

[I can't understand it! 】

[How can you understand the feelings of a scumbag!] 】

Akane Takasaka put down the phone in her hand, she already knew the news of the engagement banquet, and she had already told the other party just now that she would definitely go!

She wants to fight for her own happiness, and she is not the kind of woman who will give up her happiness easily.

Villa.

Bang!

An expensive vase slammed into the floor, shattering even if the person who threw it was a young girl.

Even if they are glued back together, the cracks on them will not return.

Lin Yi sat on the bed, and it was still night outside.

"I already knew that you had an unusual relationship with that old woman, but no matter what, I didn't expect that you would want to embarrass me at the engagement party!"

"It won't be like this!"

"How not? The scene of my betrothed partner, giving another woman a wedding ring at the wedding banquet has come to my mind. ”

"In short, I can't stand it, you can go with whoever you like to get engaged!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu yelled at Lin Yi.

She was really angry this time, whether it was her longing for love or her dependence on Lin Yi, she was overwhelmed by anger at this moment.

Even...... She also felt a sense of powerlessness and frustration.

Lin Yi wanted to step forward to appease, but he was thrown away from his palm.

If you want to open the Crystal Palace well, how can you do it without a little means?

The accommodation of those girls in the past has created Lin Yi's excessive self-awareness, and what he thinks is okay is a big problem in the eyes of others.

This is a conceptual divergence.

If he wants to change this situation, he must make the change himself.

————————————————————

Lin Yi left the villa, and he returned to his small two-story building, which was his real home after all.

He is alone.

The emotional problems did not substantially affect his real life, and the first volume of "The Tale of Transformation" has already begun to be sold at Dengeki Bunko.

The topic of him on the Internet is still long-lasting.

Celebrities have their own erosive private lives, which are reflected in him.

The engagement party was held in a five-star hotel, and his parents would come to this day, and he was ready for it.

The person who invited the invitation has received an invitation letter.

Including Machida Enko!

The clear sky in summer, the endless blue of the sky does not bring a trace of coolness to the pedestrians on the road, but the shade of the trees makes people more comfortable.

Without the idea of going out, Lin Yi has been lying in his two-story building for the past few days and has never gone out.

On the other side, Kasumigaoka Shiha lives alone in an empty villa and feels an unspeakable fear.

Every late at night, she would feel her heart being squeezed hard, and the dullness made her a little breathless.

But during the day, she still forced herself to smile and greet blessings from classmates or relatives.

Only she knows how heavy this feeling really is.

If only I hadn't met him in the first place.

Such a thought flashed through his mind, the reality still has to be faced, and there is still a day before the engagement banquet of the two.

She sat in the living room and put her thoughts, pain, and torture into words and wrote them down in a book.

The scorching sun was obscured by dark clouds, and the day of the engagement feast was cloudy.

The pervasive heat has been alleviated, and people are willing to go out in such weather.

Machida Enko stood at the door of the hotel in casual clothes, her left hand in the bag she carried with her, and inside was a festive red poster.

"What's wrong? Don't you go in? ”

"Akane!" Machida Enko ran to the familiar figure, and hugged each other after going up.

"Okay, it's been so long, don't think about it anymore, just treat you as my friend today." Akane reassured.

She was eager to understand the meaning of Lin Yi's words and the purpose for him to say them.

After thinking about it for so long, she felt that she still understood the other party, and the engagement was not marriage, and she still had a chance!

At this critical moment, if she shows a trace of weakness, she will be seen as a joke!

Pulling Machida Yuanzi, the two stood in the elevator and went all the way to the top floor.

There are not many friends and relatives on both sides, and there may be many empty seats at the tables on this floor.

Lin stood in front of the bathroom mirror with a cold face and tidied up his clothes.

When he walked out of the bathroom, he had a fake smile on his face again.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's expression was more discordant than his, and the stiff smirk made some of the old fritters and sharp-eyed people around him feel that something was wrong.

At noon, the host was already on stage to tell the journey of the relationship between the two, from a year ago to the present.

At the end of the conversation, the guests below gave him a warm applause.

Shiyu Kasumigaoka, who was wearing a white dress, and Lin Yi, who was wearing a black suit, took the opportunity to walk to the host's side.

The four eyes met, and under the gaze of everyone, Lin Yi put on a ring for Kasumigaoka Shiyu.

"Oh!"

The crowd below began to coax, especially Lin Yi's classmates, who had already begun to coax.

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

……

"It's a vulgar bad taste." Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the diamond ring that shone with a sparkling light in his hand.

"Cooperate with me, even if you really have any thoughts about me in your heart, you can't change the fact that you are now my legal wife."

The girl closed her eyes helplessly, resisting and expecting.

Lin Yi was not stupid, he slowly approached the other party, the noise in his ears seemed to have nothing to do with it, he kissed extremely seriously, without any perfunctory.

It was over, and the engagement banquet took place as usual.

As the protagonist, Lin Yi drank a lot of wine, and when he deliberately walked to Akane Takasaka's table with clear eyes, he took out another small ring from his pocket.

"Because of her, I can't give you a place in public, but at least I will do what I promised."

Lin Yi's actions attracted the attention of his fellow tablemates, but his speed was very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, he had already put the ring on the other party's finger.

To others, it was like the two of them shaking hands.

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu on the side saw everything very clearly, this was not the first time the two daughters had met, and the smell of gunpowder in the air was getting stronger and stronger.

"Hello, my name is Akane Takasaka, but if you are a person in the industry, I still hope you can call me Akasaka Zhuyin!"

"Well, I'm his wife." Kasumigaoka Shiyu owed a debt, and then stepped forward to grab Lin Yi's arm.

She is very obviously using her identity to suppress Akane Takasaka, who is much higher than her in the industry.

Is it going to go to this person's club after that?

The two sides looked at each other for a moment, then looked away at the same time.

"Let's go."

"You're not angry?"

Kasumigaoka Shiyu said with some bitterness, "Is it useful to be angry?" ”

Lin Yi showed an embarrassed smile and pulled the other party to continue to walk between the wine tables.

After returning to the main table, he drank Kasumigaoka Shiyu's father to doubt his life without the slightest accident.

If it weren't for Mrs. Kasumigaoka, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to go home at night.

"He's like this, drinking so much, does he want to crawl to work tomorrow?" The first half was said to Lin Yi, and the second half was clear to whom.

said so, but he still couldn't help but care about the other party, wiped the corners of his mouth for him, and kept supporting him.

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

After sending the two elders home, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening.

The car stopped on the side of the street, Lin Yi sat in the driver's seat and quietly looked at the traffic lights standing in front of him, the neon brilliance slowly blurred, he pretended not to care and asked the girl on the side, "Are you going back to the villa?" ”

"Take me to your house, you can't refuse me now, right?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu raised her left hand, which had the ring that Lin Yi had put on her hand.

"Okay."

Lin Yi didn't get entangled.

In the small bedroom, the computer on one side is still on, and the lines and columns of text on it can be seen that Lin Yi was still working before going to the engagement banquet.

Looking in along the computer desk, there is also a workbench, messy folders leaning against the wall, and inside the pen holder, there are various types of brushes, all used.

"This is your home with her?"

"Yes and no, she knows I like you, but she still wants to be with me, which is why I accept her." Lin Yi walked over to the workbench and stroked the rough tabletop.

"Oh? Then you accepted her, and it seems that your love for me is nothing great. ”

"It's not a question of more versus less."

"What's that?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu stared into the other's eyes, trying to get an answer.

What is the shared experience between the two?

"Forget it, don't you want to see it, you can take a good look at it now."

Not wanting to continue talking about it, he walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down, the undigested alcohol beginning to do its job.

His head grew heavy, and he closed his eyes and just wanted to sleep.

But his strong physique and mental strength did not allow him to get his wish.

Kasumigaoka Shiwa walked through the entire second-story hut, and she found many daily necessities that only women use.

And the relationship between Akane Takasaka and Lin Yi is also clear in front of her eyes.

Only the body had a relationship, but the spirit was still towards her, and she wanted to make herself happy, because at least she didn't lose it all, but this happiness didn't seem too hypocritical.

It's like you're deceiving yourself.

"I want to stay here tonight."

Lin Yi rubbed his eyebrows, "Don't you mind?" ”

"Something that will happen sooner or later, is that different from happening now?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu is not stupid, she has already fallen into it, and if she wants to get out, then she will take the initiative to admit defeat in this contest.

Now it is she who is in the dominant position.

She is the one who has the name!

Then why is she afraid of Akane Takasaka?

She decided to change Lin Yi, even if she couldn't change it, it was nothing, at least she wouldn't lose it.

Because she owns all these things.

But if she wins, then the other side loses everything.

—————————————————————————————

An Yilun also did not attend Lin Yi's engagement banquet, and that night, it was Ying Lili and Kato Megumi who came.

They could see that something was wrong between the two men, who seemed to be close.

But I didn't say it, I was a little uncomfortable.

So the two of them summed it up, and the next day they drove together to the door of the villa.

After ringing the doorbell for a while, there was no response inside.

"Ah, forget it, give them a call."

Holding the naked (harmonious) girl, Lin Yi was woken up by the ringtone, and wanted to sit up and answer the phone with his hands.

The slender arm went around Lin Yi's neck and forcibly pressed him under him, "Don't go!" ”

It's hard to be able to get a good night's sleep, Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't want to get up so quickly, and it's summer vacation!

Except for the members of the club, the person who can call him is the old woman!

So I can't let him answer the phone.

On the side of the villa, Ying Lili listened to the phone ringing and was very irritable, "Don't answer." ”

"Sawamura-san, forget it, maybe they're really sleeping, let's find a place to rest first."

"Ao~ I didn't sleep well last night, and now I want to make up for my sleep." Megumi Kato hit a hatchet.

"Let's go open the house." Ying Lili speaks amazingly.

No way? Sawamura-san still has such a hobby, what should I do? Do you want to obey her, but I'm a very ordinary and normal female high school student!

Ying Ri frowned and looked at Megumi Kato, I don't know why, she always felt that the other party was thinking about something more rude.

The reason why Sage Megumi has few facial expressions is only because she is used to this.

It's not easy for others to see what's going on in her heart, and that's why it's true.

The eternally flat, unfazed tone, and the super-powerless reaction were all her disguises.
