"No need, here's 30,000 for you."

Ye Ziye knew what the woman was thinking. Without further ado, he swiftly took out 30,000 yen from his pocket and handed it over.

Now his salary is rising steadily, and he also receives royalties every week, so this amount of money is nothing to him anymore.

Kato Megumi, standing to the side, seemed somewhat surprised, as if she hadn't expected Ye Ziye to be so quick at shopping, considering that it usually took her at least ten minutes to buy things.

Do boys always buy things this quickly?

Looking at Ye Ziye's calm expression, Kato Megumi came to this conclusion.

"Ye Zi, aren't you going to look at the others?"

"No, this is fine."

Without giving the shopkeeper a second glance, Ye Ziye hung all of Kato Megumi's things on the handlebars, pushed her bicycle out, and finished buying the last item. Her date could now be considered over.

Contrary to Ye Ziye's expectations, nothing special happened today, and the two of them did things like ordinary friends.

However, receiving the first gift of coming into this world is still something to be happy about.

After leaving the mall with Kato Megumi, it was already past noon, lunchtime. There were far fewer people gathered outside, probably because they had all gone inside to eat.

Looking at the bright sun and rising temperature outside, Ye Ziye frowned. Summer was getting closer and closer, and he didn't like the hot air...

"Ye Zi, do you want to go home or have dinner?"

Gazing at the same bright sun, Kato Megumi asked her question, which stumped Yoko Yoru. It was a question worth pondering.

If two people go out together, it would be a shame not to have a meal together; otherwise, the day would be somewhat incomplete.

But if he and Kato Megumi eat out, Artoria will be left alone at home and will go hungry.

It's worth noting that he didn't leave any food with him when he went out, which was a miscalculation on his part.

He forgot about eating and didn't expect that girls would spend so much time shopping; his original plan was to finish in an hour.

Then he can go home with his inspiration and enjoy this wonderful weekend.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ziye made a decision.

"Kato, why don't you come to my house for dinner? I'll cook for you."

Hearing Ye Ziye's words, Kato Megumi was taken aback at first, then slowly nodded.

"Okay."

Kato Megumi had no worries about going to the home of a boy who was going through puberty, because the boy was Yoko Yo.

She had also eaten some of Ye Ziye's cooking, but only a small portion; she had never had a complete meal with her, which was a bit of a regret.

"Then you can sit in the back. I'll drive you there. I promised you I would. My house is nearby, we'll be there in no time."

Ye Ziye pointed to his back seat. Finally, he could do this action. He had seen Artoria do this action countless times over the years.

"Ah."

Kato Megumi remembered Ye Ziye's promise back then. Without hesitation, she lifted her skirt and sat down in the back seat in a very ladylike manner, holding Ye Ziye's clothes with one hand as a protective measure.

Ye Ziye understood the girl's reserve. Although it was somewhat dangerous, he could just ride a little slower.

However, just as he was about to leave, Kato Megumi spoke up.

"Ye Zi, you don't live alone, do you?"

Chapter 118

Kato Megumi's question came as a surprise, and Ye Ziye was taken aback, not knowing why she would ask it.

However, when he felt the girl's burning gaze behind him, he snapped out of his reverie and said...

"Yes, I don't live alone. I share an apartment with Artoria from our school. You should know her; she came to my classroom before."

Ye Ziye had no intention of lying. He felt there was no need to lie to Kato Megumi about this issue, because it was an established fact and there was nothing he couldn't say.

After he finished speaking, he could feel that Kato Megumi's hand, which had been gripping him tightly, loosened slightly.

“I knew it, you two have been coming to school together every day lately.”

Kato Megumi's voice returned to its calm tone, and the gaze behind her was no longer so intense. Ye Ziye roughly knew why she was experiencing such a change in emotion; he wasn't stupid.

"Thank you, Yezi, you didn't lie to me."

"You're welcome..." 12

Ye Ziye didn't know why he was being thanked, but he still followed etiquette and said, "You're welcome."

After confirming that Kato Megumi had no questions for anyone else, he felt relieved, stepped onto the bicycle pedals, and prepared to head home.

This was his first time carrying someone, but he was quite skilled and got off to a smooth start without any major mishaps.

For example, a scenario where a girl falls off her bicycle and then falls onto the boy, accidentally kissing him, will not happen.

Ye Zi drives incredibly smoothly at night!

However, the speed was a little too fast. Kato Megumi, who was originally just holding onto Ye Ziye's clothes, now had her arm around his waist.

On the smooth asphalt road, Ye Ziye rode his bicycle like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins. For some reason, he felt that cycling was a great sport, and he felt a sense of freedom from it.

He glanced at Kato Megumi behind him, the wind blowing through his hair and revealing his delicate face. His fair and lovely cheeks were flushed, and beneath his calm expression lay a hidden excitement. His clear eyes were also trembling slightly.

Today, Kato Megumi experienced what it's like to ride a roller coaster. She never imagined that Yoko Yo, who seems gentle and refined and has a scholarly air, could ride a bicycle so wildly and so fast.

Luckily, she was wearing a culotte today; otherwise, at this speed, it would have been easy for her to expose herself.

A gentle breeze stirred, and Ye Ziye slowed down her car. Kato Megumi also had time to free one hand to gently tuck a stray hair behind her ear, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Today, she seemed to have discovered a different side of Ye Ziye, and it seemed that she was the first to discover it. Kato Megumi didn't know how to describe this feeling.

If I had to say something, I would say I'm happy, extremely happy!

"Kato, hold onto my clothes, we're almost home, I'm going to speed up."

After saying this without warning, Ye Ziye didn't give Kato Megumi a chance to react and increased his speed.

He had slowed down because he needed to cross a traffic light, and now that he had passed the last traffic light, he naturally needed to speed up.

Ye Ziye felt he could go even faster. After Xiao Sanqi took Kato Megumi home, he planned to go out for a bike ride alone, as women really slowed him down.

When Artoria forces him to exercise later, he can ride a bicycle; he likes the feeling of the breeze on his face.

Almost instinctively, Kato Megumi hugged Ye Ziye tightly, even tighter than before.

In this day and age, it's rare for someone to take advantage of a girl by riding a bicycle, and Ye Ziye is obviously not one of them, but he may have unintentionally become one of them.

For some reason, Kato Megumi had a strange feeling that she was being led astray by Ye Ziye. The feeling of the breeze on her face was quite nice.

Before she could even process what was happening, Ye Ziye slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a sudden stop, briefly lifting her off her seat.

However, because she was holding Ye Ziye tightly, she didn't fall; they just ended up clinging even closer together.

"Kato, we've arrived."

Looking at the girl behind him with her eyes closed, Ye Ziye scratched his hair. He had been so engrossed in his own world that he had overlooked Kato Megumi's feelings.

Fortunately, the girl didn't blame him; her pretty face remained expressionless.

"Have we arrived yet..."

Kato Megumi spoke in an ambiguous tone, then released Yoko Yoru and jumped off her bicycle.

For some reason, the scene of a boy carrying a girl on a bicycle was completely different from what she had imagined.

According to the novel's description, under normal circumstances, a girl shouldn't be like her; instead, she should be facing the breeze with a bright, bell-like smile.

The boy should also keep an eye on the girl behind him, slowing down from time to time, and wearing a sunny smile.

However, the situation between the two just now was completely different from what was described in the novel. But when she thought that their personalities were also somewhat different from ordinary people, Kato Megumi felt relieved.

After taking a deep breath, he began to look around Ye Ziye's residence.

Although the house was built near such a large shopping mall, it was surprisingly simple. In the small courtyard, there was a withered cherry blossom tree, and in the nearby soil, there were some seedlings that had just sprouted green leaves.

The surrounding streets were incredibly quiet, and there were no elderly people sunbathing in the courtyards. The overall atmosphere had a sense of life, but it wasn't particularly strong.

Kato Megumi glanced at her a few times before looking away. Although she attended Shuchiin Academy, her family was only considered middle-class.

However, it is completely incomparable to the wealthy families like Kaguya Shinomiya or Yukino Yukinoshita, so the environment where she lives is similar to this place, only the surroundings are much noisier.

"Kato, let's go inside. My house is on the second floor."

After parking his new bicycle near Altria's blue bicycle, Ye Ziye said this, and Kato Megumi nodded.

Her clear eyes swept across the room on the second floor, lost in thought. She silently took out a small mirror and tidied her hair, which had just been ruffled by the wind.

Chapter 119

Leading Kato Megumi upstairs, Ye Ziye opened the door with his key.

Without the obstruction of the security door, the sound of the television and the faint chewing sounds coming from the living room could be clearly heard.

Hearing this sound, Ye Ziye automatically pictured either Artoria or Garfield eating in the living room.

"Kato, wear those slippers. They're new and haven't been used yet."

Those slippers were the ones Ye Ziye bought last time. He had a feeling that many people would come to visit his home in the future, so he bought an extra pair of slippers.

Kato Megumi nodded silently, tidied her hair, changed into slippers, and followed Ye Ziye inside.

In the living room, Artoria was sitting on the sofa holding Garfield, looking unusually serious, occasionally putting a little food in her mouth, while a very serious British TV series was playing on the television.

Ye Ziye could understand why Artoria was watching so intently, but he couldn't quite understand why Garfield was watching so intently.

The sound of the two people stomping on the floor was quite loud, and Artoria quickly snapped out of her serious drama-watching mode.

"Ye Zi, you're back!"

Artoria was very excited because Ye Ziye's return home meant that it was time to eat, and it was almost noon, the perfect time for lunch.

"Hello, Artoria..."

A soft, gentle voice came from behind Ye Ziye, startling Artoria, who couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound.

A short-haired girl stood quietly behind Ye Ziye, her eyes slightly narrowed, with a very friendly smile.

However, Artoria became wary after seeing Kato Megumi, not because she saw the girl as a rival, but because she hadn't noticed her at all.

Even if Ye Ziye's footsteps were very faint, she could hear them and detect them immediately. As a swordsman, she had incredible intuition and perception.
