He reheated the leftover bento and ate it for dinner.
Just then, a text message arrived on his phone.
Lin Yi opened it and saw it was from Sonoko.
She said that they needed a few days to think it over before they could give him an answer.
Lin Yi understood this very well.
Whether male or female, everyone wants to save face.
Saying they need a few days to think it over is just the girls' last stubbornness to maintain their dignity!
If he were to pursue them aggressively now, it might only be counterproductive.
But if he didn't keep an eye on them, something else might happen.
Don't forget, women are fickle.
Lin Yi thought for a moment and quickly had an idea. He replied: [Are we going to the amusement park tomorrow?]
Going to the amusement park was just an excuse; the ultimate goal was to find out if she had any plans.
And this 'we' isn't just the two of us, it's the three of us.
Shortly after the text message was sent, there was a reply:
[Ran and I are going to a Valentine's Day singles party tomorrow! It's at 13 Takeshita Street, 11-chome, Mihana Town 4.]
"She even sent the address... Isn't this clearly telling me to go together?"
Lin Yi muttered, "Valentine's Day is the perfect time to level up three times in a row, it's a pity to miss it... And why are they going to a singles party? Do they want to show off and make others jealous?"
Although he couldn't fully understand their thoughts, Lin Yi decided to go along with what they wanted and replied: [What time are you planning to leave?]
Less than four seconds after the text message was sent, there was a reply: [Eleven o'clock, just in time to go for lunch.]
Then, Lin Yi didn't give a definite answer, just replied: [I see.]
-----
"I see?" Sonoko and Ran huddled together, staring at the screen, reading out the text message Lin Yi had just sent.
Ran tilted her head and looked at Sonoko, slightly worried: "'I see'... Does that mean he's coming? Or not coming?"
"Don't worry! He'll come."
Sonoko said confidently, "Didn't you see that he already asked us what time we're leaving? He'll definitely come!"
Ran thought about it and felt that it made sense.
"Alright! Now let's put those things aside... Let's go shopping!"
Sonoko put her arm around Ran's shoulder and suddenly exclaimed, "This seems to be our first time shopping this week, right?"
Ran thought about it carefully and said, "It really is."
According to their long-standing routine, they should go shopping at least three times a week. Less than three times, and they always feel like something is missing.
However, their routine has been broken by Lin Yi!
Sonoko rubbed her face against Ran's breasts and whined, "This is not good~~~ I'll be sad if I spend less time with Ran."
In the past, when Sonoko rubbed against Ran's chest, Ran would smile like a loving mother and pat Sonoko's head.
But now that her breasts have been developed by Lin Yi, when Sonoko rubs against them again, it makes Ran feel strange.
She quickly pushed Sonoko away before she became too strange, and said with a flushed face, "This... this is... unavoidable, there's... another person between us."
"Who says it's unavoidable?"
After being pushed away, Sonoko didn't give up, hugging Ran's waist and smiling slyly: "As long as we go together... won't that greatly save time?"
Ran's face turned red, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no, I don't want to... the three of us together... don't... don't you think that's weird?"
"What's so weird?" Sonoko put her head on Ran's shoulder and said softly, "It's not the first time..."
After saying that, Sonoko blew a breath into Ran's ear.
Ran felt a shiver all over her body, and she quickly came back to her senses, reminding Sonoko: "What are you doing~~ Let go of me. There are a lot of people looking here."
Sonoko giggled mischievously: "I won't let go if you don't agree."
"Let go first and then we'll talk~~~"
"I won't~~"
"....."
--------------------------------------------------
Ah, I'm going to be alone tonight.
So lonely.
A lonely night, where should I put my heart?
Of course, go out and have fun!
Lin Yi put on a handsome suit again, and strode with arrogant steps towards Kabukicho.
As before, Lin Yi originally wanted to come here to farm boxes to strengthen his strength.
However... his state of mind had changed.
"Come on, Mr. Lin, drink up."
A stunningly beautiful young woman smiled as she brought the glass to Lin Yi's lips.
But Lin Yi wasn't happy at all; he felt a faint sense of repulsion.
These escort girls were all beauties, some even rivaling or surpassing Ran.
However, Lin Yi couldn't muster any interest in that area.
It wasn't that Lin Yi had lost his mojo; it was that he was starting to find it all meaningless.
After successfully conquering Ran and Sonoko, his views on spending money for pleasure began to shift.
Women you can get with money... it's too simple, too easy.
There's no sense of accomplishment.
It's like the difference between Dynasty Warriors and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
The former is just slash, slash, slash. At first, you're happy, thinking you're awesome, capable of single-handedly killing thousands.
But over time, that sense of pleasure gradually fades until it becomes boring. Your body doesn't even need to tremble before you feel a sense of emptiness.
And Sekiro? Although you'll die countless times at first, once you successfully defeat the boss, joy, excitement, and exhilaration erupt!
These emotions completely take over your mind and body, lingering for a long time, hard to dissipate!
There's no comparison between the two!
Although it's annoying, you have to admit that people are quite perverse.
What they can't get, they'll try every possible way to obtain, to satisfy their sense of conquest!
And those things that are easily obtained are often not cherished!
Those escort girls were easily obtainable for Lin Yi, so his interest quickly faded.
At first, he came because he hadn't had meat in too long, so he wasn't picky; any meat would do.
But once you've had too much meat, you start to be selective.
If it's not steamed, he won't eat it.
If it's not pan-fried, it's not tasty.
If it's not braised, he's not interested.
Lin Yi was now in this state...
In simple terms, he was starting to be a picky eater!
