The girl's crying caught Ye Ziye off guard. No matter the situation, tears were always something that left him helpless, and he didn't know how to deal with them.

"I don't know why, I was just so angry. He said those things about you. I don't think anyone has ever said anything like that to you before. I don't know why I did it..."

Ye Ziye didn't want to preach; he wanted to resolve the matter in a few words. However, Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her head against his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Not just physical, but also psychological.

Do you want to protect me?

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly took a step back, looked up at Yoko Yo, and for the first time today, she realized just how tall this boy was.

So tall that she had to look up to see him, and stand on tiptoe to touch that ridiculously beautiful face.

"Yes, that should be the case."

Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief and then nodded. He thought that was probably the case, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry.

He just didn't understand why Yukino Yukinoshita was willing to be so intimate with him, since the girl had always seemed unusually reserved to him.

However, today he also learned that Yukino Yukinoshita is not an iron woman. She has the fragility of a young girl and can shed delicate tears, which makes people feel sorry for her.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita's tears, he felt sad too, and couldn't help but put his hand on that beautiful face.

Ye Ziye had seen before that humans experience a brief impulse after intimacy. Ye Ziye thought this must be what humans call impulse, since he was clearly not such a rash person.

He thought that if it were Ms. Kato in front of him, he would definitely do the same.

At that moment, Ye Ziye realized that he was a strange person, capable of doing the same thing to two people, which is abnormal in human psychology.

But he couldn't care less about that now. He wiped away Yukino's tears and suddenly didn't know what to do. He could only stand there blankly, touching the girl's cheek like a hooligan.

"Ye Zi, you've never been in a relationship, have you?"

Seemingly taken aback by the situation, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly burst into laughter through her tears, looking at Yoko and asking him this question.

"No."

Ye Ziye spoke the truth. Others might think it's shameful to have never been in a relationship, but he would never think that way because he has a noble view of love.

"I knew it, seeing how dazed you were."

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed very happy and placed her hand in Yoru's hand, but her hand was too small to cover the large hand.

Ye Ziye was also stunned. Yukino's hands were icy cold, giving a strange feeling in the sweltering summer.

Have you ever been in a relationship?

For some reason, Ye Ziye asked such a question, and he was quite curious to know, because Yukino Yukinoshita's movements were very practiced.

"I don't have any either."

Yukino Yukinoshita raised her head openly and said that she, like Yoko Yo, had lofty values. She originally thought that she would never fall in love during her entire school years because the boys in the school were all too immature.

"Then how did you..."

“It’s Bibin. She often watches some strange TV series and movies, and she would describe some scenes to me. Over time, I learned some of them.”

Yukino's face also flushed slightly. She felt that she had been a bit abrupt, which seemed inconsistent with her usual reserved image. Perhaps this was just human impulse.

But none of that matters. Indulging in a little impulsiveness once in a while can be a good experience.

"I see..."

For some reason, Ye Ziye breathed a sigh of relief. Strangely, it wasn't schadenfreude, but simply a feeling of relaxation.

"Ye Zi, let me ask you one more question: you want to protect me, right?"

"Ah."

Ye Ziye nodded, his expression unusually firm. This was the first time he had made such a weighty promise to a girl.

"You must protect me."

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't want to see Yoru Yoru sad, as it would break her heart.

"I will protect you."

Ye Ziye made this promise, and looking at the girl's face, he couldn't help but smile. He felt that he would definitely keep his promise.

All the scenery he had ever seen in his life seemed to pale in comparison to the captivating charm in the eyes and brows of the girl before him.

Chapter 298

There were few cars and even fewer people along the riverbank. It should have been a good place for a stroll, but for some reason, the pedestrians slowed down.

From afar, a tall, slender boy stood there, making a promise to the fairy-like, beautiful girl.

The cool and beautiful girl had a faint smile on her face as she rested her head against the boy's chest. Although the two did not hug, the scene looked harmonious.

Behind the boy and girl was a clear blue sky and water, with dark blue paving stones and emerald green grass adding to the beautiful scene.

Passersby stood there, perhaps never before realizing that feelings between opposite sexes could be so profound and natural.

The two of them didn't do anything particularly intimate, but they looked so close that the atmosphere around them seemed to be tense and intertwined.

Passersby whispered among themselves, some jealous that the girl could have such a handsome man, others jealous that the boy could have such a beautiful woman, but most likely they were simply envious.

I haven't met someone like this at this age.

Island nations have never prohibited early romances, so no one disturbed this beautiful relationship. Yoko Yoru and Yukino Yukinoshita were exceptionally pleasing to the eye, unpretentious and genuine, making it feel like something out of ancient times.

"Ye Zi, I've always believed in you. Please protect me and help me in the future, okay?"

"it is good."

The brief and understated words perfectly suited Ye Ziye's personality. Perhaps it would be better to speak at length at this time, but he didn't like that. This kind of conversation was also more in line with the way the two of them got along.

"Let bygones be bygones. You don't need to worry about it anymore. I'll take care of the aftermath."

Seeing Yukino Yukinoshita raise her little head, Ye Ziye said this. He didn't think that the tall, thin guy would give up so easily, given his attitude just now.

"How do you want to handle this?"

For some reason, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly laughed, looked up at Yoko Yo, and her crystal clear eyes no longer had the same pitiful charm as before, as if she had returned to her original state.

Ye Ziye didn't mind. Although he liked to see the girls around him in different ways, it was better to maintain the original appearance in real interactions.

"I don't know yet, but I'll handle it."

Ye Ziye told the truth that he really hadn't thought it through, because his current circumstances didn't allow him to handle such a matter.

Even though he was a time traveler with a super cheat system, his life was always ordinary and uneventful. He didn't deliberately try to become a rich person or a powerful person.

He likes this kind of simple life, and he's willing to live the same way every day.

However, to deal with this kind of thing, a certain social status and economic strength are necessary. If possible, he doesn't want to disrupt his current lifestyle; he'd rather just continue living a mundane life.

But since things have come to this, let's put aside our current lifestyle for now and deal with this matter first before returning to our previous routine.

With the system as a cheat code, he had no doubt that he could accomplish this task; it was just a matter of how long it would take and whether he wanted to or not.

"We don't know yet, there's just nothing we can do about it~"

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly spoke, her voice slightly playful, but this tone was not disdainful; she simply found it amusing.

"You can think of it that way."

Ye Ziye wasn't angry; he had a feeling that Yukino Yukinoshita had something to say.

"You don't need to worry about this anymore, just leave it to me."

Following Ye Ziye's example, Yukino Yukinoshita patted his shoulder with a serious expression, as if she was really saying it for real.

"But..."

"No buts."

Miss Yukinoshita exuded a domineering aura, and it was hard to imagine that such a temperament could come from a sixteen-year-old girl.

Ye Ziye was stunned. Yukino Yukinoshita had always been aloof and cold. When had she ever been so domineering? She straightened her chest, even though it was flat.

"Trust me, I will handle it."

As the domineering Yukinoshita said this, Ye Ziye understood that it would be much easier for her to handle the matter.

Because Yukino Yukinoshita has a natural advantage—her status as a wealthy young lady and the influence of her family in all aspects of society—it's incredibly easy for her to handle any matter.

Ye Ziye wasn't particularly chauvinistic, but he still felt uneasy about letting Yukino Yukinoshita handle the matter alone.

Today, he finally understood what Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking when he put on the suit to complete the mission.

Moreover, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's domineering demeanor, he always felt like he was being kept by a rich young woman.

Miss Yukinoshita, with her keen insight, looked into Ye Ziye's eyes and seemed to understand his thoughts. She couldn't help but smile smugly; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Having been helped by Ye Ziye for so long made her proud heart very uncomfortable. Although she knew that the boy was trying to protect and help her, the pride in her bones could not be erased.

But today, Yukino Yukinoshita felt relieved because she also experienced what it was like to be Yoru Yoru.

"Ye Zi, I have great faith in your ability to handle this matter, but as you know, it would be much easier for me (Wang Li Zhao) to deal with it."

Yukino Yukinoshita truly trusts Yoru Yoru, and it's an unconditional trust. It's unclear when this strange emotion arose.

"I know... but I feel like I'm being kept..."

Ye Ziye expressed his feelings, but he didn't receive any criticism from Yukino Yukinoshita; the girl seemed to have expected this.

"Based on what I know about you, this should be a joke, but you can think of it that way."

With the same smile, Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Yoko Yoru's hand and walked to the side. She never wanted to use her family's connections, but today, it was a two-way protection.

Ye Ziye scratched the back of her head and suddenly thought that this wasn't so bad.

Perhaps being kept by a rich woman is a hidden dream in every man's heart.

Chapter 299

"Where are we going now?"

Pulled by Yukino Yukinoshita, Yoru's body involuntarily leaned forward; otherwise, the girl definitely wouldn't have been able to pull him.

"I don't know, but it's good to wander around."

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath. For some reason, she felt a little complicated.

After being cleansed by the sea breeze, her mind gradually cleared up, and from an angle where Ye Ziye couldn't see, her delicate and beautiful face began to blush.

Now the two of them are holding hands, something that would never have happened before; holding onto their clothes was already the limit.
