The next day, which was Sunday morning.
Originally, Lin Yi planned for the three of them to get together first and see if they could spark some sparks.
If they could spark some sparks, then the second half would probably be spent in a hotel. Why even attend a singles gathering?
However, after calling them, they both said they had things to do.
Lin Yi was puzzled. What could be more important than playing games with three people?
Out of curiosity, Lin Yi used the crystal pendant to investigate and found that Ran and Sonoko were shopping at the supermarket.
"I haven't even brushed my teeth yet... and they're already at the supermarket. It seems I've been getting lazier lately."
Lin Yi muttered, looking at the things in their shopping cart: cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar, milk...
So they were buying ingredients to make chocolate.
Lin Yi suddenly realized, and then he felt that he shouldn't have looked. If he looked, the surprise they prepared for him would be gone.
Seeing this, Lin Yi decisively turned off the "monitoring".
If you know everything, then there's no point in having a future without surprises.
I wonder what they'll write on the chocolate.
After washing up, Lin Yi started his fitness career again.
With the medicinal wine these days, without the interference of muscle soreness, he has been Keep fit .
For a week, his fair and smooth arms have already taken the shape of muscles. Before long, he will transform from a greasy senior to a hunk.

11:00 AM.
Lin Yi met up with Ran and Sonoko on time.
They both had bags slung over their shoulders, obviously with the chocolate inside.
Lin Yi could only pretend he didn't know anything and chat with them.
"When are they coming?"
"Mr. Minagawa said he would drive over to pick us up... Ah, I see him, across the street."
Across the street stood a pretty boy, next to him was a musclehead so big it was scary.
Originally happy, the two of them immediately felt a little strange when they saw a handsome guy next to Ran.
Although Sonoko had told them in advance that a boy would be coming.
If Katsuhiko Minagawa had known in advance that the other party was actually a handsome hunk, he would definitely have tried to decline.
Lin Yi's appearance gave Katsuhiko Minagawa a headache. He was the organizer, he was the protagonist. As a supporting character, how could he be more handsome than the protagonist? That's against the rules.
But now it was too late to ask him to leave.
Alas, he had to step into the pit he dug himself, even if he was crying.
The musclehead's name was Toshihide Wakamatsu, and his mind was as out of sync with his appearance as his name.
Don't look at his rough appearance, he didn't have much of an opinion on Lin Yi's arrival.
He knew he was going down the macho route, relying not on his face, but on his muscles!
And Lin Yi was going down the handsome guy route. The two were not the same type at all.
There was no collision, so naturally there wouldn't be too much resentment, just a slight eyesore.
As for why? He didn't know either.
"Miss Sonoko, Miss Ran... hello."
Katsuhiko Minagawa first smiled and greeted Sonoko and Ran.
But when facing Lin Yi, Katsuhiko Minagawa directly put on a deadpan face, hoping that the other party was a smart person who could read the expression on his face and retreat in the face of difficulty.
Unfortunately, in Lin Yi's eyes, Katsuhiko Minagawa was just a minor character whose life was in his hands.
If he was happy, he could save the other party's life.
If he was unhappy, then the other party could only die with a smile, happily receiving his takeout box.
Judging from the other party's performance now, Lin Yi was very unhappy, and he had a 90% chance of dying. The last 10% was if he had a change of heart.
Fortunately, Katsuhiko Minagawa was, after all, a well-mannered college student. Even if he had a few choice words in his heart, he couldn't very well say them to Lin Yi's face, so he could only bite the bullet and bring Lin Yi home.
-----
Inside Katsuhiko Minagawa's house, at the party.
"Lin-kun, what do you usually like to do?"
Sitting next to Lin Yi was a female college student named Kaya Sekiya. She held a glass of beer, asking while leaning closer to Lin Yi.
"I like singing, dancing, rap, and basketball."
"Really? I also love to dance."
The girl named Naomi Watanabe was more reserved and didn't crowd around, but she still asked with great interest, "What kind of dance do you like? Breaking, popping, or locking?"
"Calisthenics…" After Lin Yi answered, he saw their blank looks and added, "The eighth set…"
Kaya Sekiya and Naomi Watanabe were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Lin-kun, you're so funny."
"You're such a comedian, I like people with a sense of humor like you."
"…"
Seeing the three of them chatting so happily, Sonoko and Ran felt like they were turning green with envy. Both of their mouths were puffed out, very annoyed.
"I knew I shouldn't have brought him!" Sonoko said indignantly.
"We shouldn't have come," Ran muttered.
Sonoko glared at Ran, who pretended not to know anything and took a sip of fruit juice.
At this moment, Katsuhiko Minagawa rushed over, grinning as he raised his glass. "Ran-san, shall we chat?"
As Ran was thinking about how to politely refuse, Sonoko pointed to a bottle of beer and said, "If you want to chat with Ran, finish this bottle of beer first! Only then will you be qualified to chat with Ran."
"Okay! For Ran-san, I can down this bottle of beer!"
Toshihide Wakamatsu was very generous. He picked up the bottle, popped the cap, and began chugging it down.
This guy's alcohol tolerance was indeed impressive. Before long, he had finished the entire bottle.
"I finished it! Ran-san, let's chat!"
Toshihide Wakamatsu put down the bottle, looking a little nervous. This big guy was actually acting shy. "Um… how… how do you see me?"
"You're a good person."
Ran smiled and gave him a friend card.
"Is… is that so?"
Toshihide Wakamatsu chuckled foolishly, "Then… then…"
Just as he was about to ask a second question, Sonoko picked up another bottle of beer and placed it in front of him. "We're done chatting… If you want to ask a second question, finish this bottle of beer!"
