After an unknown amount of time, Lin Shiye flashed back to his original spot.

Seeing that the other person looked refreshed and energetic, Yachiyo couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Did something interesting happen?"

"More or less," Lin Shiye said.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"Shouldn't we get rid of this thing?" Yachiyo glanced at the heart and felt a chill run down her spine even from a distance.

"Don't worry, I've prepared a backup plan. Everything is going according to plan." Lin Shiye smiled happily.

"Let those time jackers do whatever they want. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of fun they'll give me."

Hearing this, Yachiyo nodded as if she understood.

"Hearing you say that makes me feel relieved." She smiled gently.

"As long as you are safe and sound, that's all that matters."

Lin Shiye's hand, which was about to snap his fingers, suddenly froze in mid-air.

He paused for two seconds, then turned to look at the girl's figure, his tone softening slightly:

"Hmm... I'll get you a body."

"Huh?" Yachiyo was taken aback.

"It's not good to be an electronic ghost forever. Having a physical body means I can live with Aya and the others, right?" Lin Shiye said.

Yachiyo's eyes lit up; she was tempted.

……

"So, from now on, Yachiyo is also a member of the family."

After everything settled down, at Aya's house, Lin Shiye showed the two of them a living Yachiyo.

Aya looked at Yachiyo in front of her, her face flushed, and she stammered, unable to speak.

Huiyao, on the other hand, was on high alert, rolling around on the ground and making a huge fuss.

"No, no, I'm the only baby in this family!"

"It's okay, Huiyao." Lin Shiye squatted down, patted her head, and spoke in a tone as if coaxing a child.

"Even after Yachiyo joined this family, you will still be our most beloved baby~"

"Really?" Huiyao stopped throwing a tantrum and looked up with teary eyes.

"Of course it's true. From now on, Yachiyo will be your older sister." Lin Shiye's lips curled up, and then he looked at Yachiyo.

"You should be more considerate of your younger sister from now on~"

"Okay~" Yachiyo smiled, her eyes crinkling with happiness.

"I don't want to!!!" Huiyao cried out in desperation.

"I want to be the older sister! No matter what, I want to be the older sister!"

Seeing that she was getting more and more out of control and the volume was approaching the threshold for disturbing the peace, Caiye raised her hand expressionlessly and gave her a precise flick on the forehead.

"It hurts so much..." Huiyao could no longer get up.

"Are you sure?" Lin Shiye tilted his head seriously.

"If you're the older sister, you can't cuddle in Aya's arms anymore. That's a privilege only the youngest child in the family has."

Huiyao's ahoge (cowlick) stood up.

"Then I'll stay as the younger sister."

Seeing her like this, Aya sighed and covered her forehead, Yachiyo chuckled, and Lin Shiye relaxed and straightened up.

"Alright, now that everything's over, I should go home." Lin Shiye stood up, grabbed his coat, and walked out the door.

Go to sleep early, goodnight.

He pushed open the door, and Aya was about to stand up to see him off, but Yachiyo had already taken the lead and followed him.

"Lin Shiye"

"Um?"

Hearing the sound, Lin Shiye turned around in confusion. The next second, Yachiyo stood on tiptoe and gently placed a kiss on his face.

"Huh..." Caiye stood there, dumbfounded.

Huiyao squatted on the ground; its CPU was already overheating.

"Thank you so much, Dad~" Yachiyo made a heart shape with her hands and smiled mischievously.

"No... I didn't do anything." Lin Shiye was also startled, but quickly regained his composure and spoke with a serious expression.

"Can we do it again?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Huiyao finally came to his senses, immediately jumped up, pouted and started kissing Lin Shiye's face all over.

"No, are you giving me cupping therapy?" Lin Shiye said, both amused and exasperated, as he reached out to cover Huiyao's head.

Let him off the hook. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't be that intimate.

After dismissing Huiyao, his gaze fell on Caiye.

Caiye froze, her ear tips instantly turning bright red.

"Me, I want to kiss too?"

"Yes." Huiyao and Yachiyo nodded.

"Given our relationship, a kiss isn't too much to ask, right, Caiye?" Lin Shiye pressed his advantage, grinning like a scoundrel.

As soon as he finished speaking, Caiye rushed over with a flushed face and pushed him by the back, chasing him towards the door.

"Didn't you want to go home? Haha... Hurry up and go!"

"It's time for us to go to sleep too, goodnight!"

Lin Shiye looked disappointed, but he didn't resist and let the other person push him.

"Caiye, you're so boring." He shook his head, his tone feigning extreme sadness.

Caiye pushed him to the top of the stairs before leaning close to his ear and whispering, her face flushed red.

"Next time... next time when no one's around."

"I just can't do anything with you." Lin Shiye dodged Caiye's shove, brushed off imaginary dust from his shoulders, and turned to go downstairs.

"I'm really leaving this time, bye-bye."

Only after his footsteps completely disappeared into the hallway did Caiye breathe a sigh of relief, her face burning. But when she turned her head, she saw…

Teruyao, Yachiyo: stare————

"What's wrong?" Aya asked, her face flushed, raising her voice as if trying to cover something up.

"Go wash up and go to bed!"

"Okay~" Yachiyo agreed with a smile.

"Caiye, you're disturbing the peace by being so loud," Huiyao couldn't help but say.

The result, naturally, was a blow from the iron fist of love.

.........

The next day, the school's service department.

Kitahara Iori, carrying a banner wider than himself, burst through the door in a flurry of activity.

The red background and yellow lettering were particularly eye-catching, and it was clearly written on it:

"You complain about the hassle of asking, but then you get things done!"

"This Service Department is awesome!"

Signed: Respectfully presented by Kitahara Iori

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched violently as he looked at the flamboyant banner.

Yukino Yukinoshita was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure and nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your recognition, Kitahara-kun."

Yui Yuigahama happily accepted the banner and was wondering where to hang it most prominently.

"Thank you so much!" Kitahara Iori said sincerely, almost bursting into tears.

"Chisa finally doesn't look at me like I'm trash anymore! We've been talking more often lately!"

"This is also the result of your own hard work." Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms, sat upright in her chair, glanced at him from head to toe, and added casually.

"Hmm, not bad, at least you're dressed like a human being."

Kitahara Iori's smile froze instantly, as if he had been struck solidly in the heart by an arrow.

"Keep it up," Yukinoshita said calmly.

"Don't let it all come back to square one in a couple of days."

"No, no! I will definitely try my best to become better!" Kitahara Iori immediately gave a thumbs up and grinned foolishly.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked away, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Just then, the door was pushed open again, and Lin Shiye walked in, carrying a stack of freshly developed photos.

"The photos are all developed."

Several people crowded around, and their expressions varied after reading it.

"That was really badly shot." Hachiman Hikigaya showed no mercy, delivering a precise and devastating blow.

"Lin-kun, how about you consider changing your hobby?" Yukino Yukinoshita added insult to injury.

"Hahaha, you piece of trash!" Kitahara Iori laughed so hard he almost fell over.

Lin Shiye's lips twitched, and a vein throbbed on his forehead.

"...I think it's pretty good!" Yui Yuigahama hurriedly tried to smooth things over, reaching out to pull out a card.

"Look how cute this photo is..."

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence.

In the photo, Kitahara Iori is picking her nose in front of the camera with a smug expression.

"You're just going to pick any picture and start praising it?" Hachiman Hikigaya scoffed.

"You're really something, Yuihama."

The moment Yui Yuigahama saw the contents, she was instantly dumbfounded, covering her face and squatting down.

"sorry……"

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, and Kitahara Iori could no longer smile.

"What do you know? These are all candid shots, they're really hard to come by!" Lin Shiye retorted.

"Oh, right, right." Hachiman nodded perfunctorily.

"Look, this picture of Yukinoshita is very beautiful." Lin Shiye pointed to one of the photos.

"What a pity." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her chin, her tone calm yet self-assured.

"Is it possible that I'm just naturally beautiful?"

She paused for a moment, then cut to the chase: "First of all, there's a serious problem with your shooting angle."

This woman is so narcissistic… Hachiman Hikigaya silently rolled his eyes.

"The third place on the beauty list is a mess." Lin Shiye's expression was exaggerated, and he immediately started to mock.

"This is clearly due to my superior filming technique!"

"It's just a list compiled by a bunch of bored people using worldly perspectives; it has absolutely no reference value," Yukinoshita sneered, retorting.

"But you, Lin Shiye, are you getting all smug just because you're number one on the handsome guy list?"

"Dare you say I'm not handsome?" Lin Shiye raised an eyebrow, smiling confidently.

"Good children shouldn't lie."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

She choked for two seconds, closed her eyes, and decisively shifted the focus.

Ah, inner beauty is true beauty.

"Oh, the third place is a mess." Lin Shiye persisted, precisely circling back to the starting point.

Her pink fists clenched tightly beneath the snow.
