Chapter 72
Looking at the slight vulnerability on Karuizawa Kei's stunning face, Ye Yu felt an urge to hold her in his arms and cherish her.
He walked straight to her side and gently pulled her into his embrace.
"Tell me—what exactly happened?"
Karuizawa Kei's body trembled obviously, but since they had already done almost everything except the final step, she didn't resist.
Instead, her body unconsciously leaned closer to him. Then she slowly began to speak.
"My dad wants to marry me off to a stranger!"
Ye Yu: ???
After Karuizawa Kei's explanation, Ye Yu roughly understood the whole story.
Kei's mother, Ryoko, couldn't stand her dad's constant drinking and laziness. So she decided to divorce him. At that time, she remarried without taking Kei with her.
So over the years, her alcoholic dad had been using Kei to threaten her, constantly demanding living expenses!
But recently, her mom—whether she found out Kei had left or finally couldn't tolerate the exploitation anymore—refused to pay the living expenses.
As a result, that beast of a dad directly introduced Kei to his creditor.
And he even went to the school, demanding Kei drop out and go marry that man immediately!
"In this world, there are still scum who sell their daughters?"
Ye Yu held Karuizawa Kei and smiled.
These bastards dare to snatch my girl—they're really tired of living!
"I finally managed to integrate with my classmates, but after he made a big scene at school, I feel like my classmates and teachers look at me strangely! I don't even have the face to go back to class now."
Thinking of this, Kei felt overwhelming grievance in her heart.
Ye Yu wasn't worried that Kei would be bullied again because of this.
With Kushida at school, Kei wouldn't suffer any loss.
"So how do you want me to help you?"
Karuizawa Kei's face flushed slightly. What she originally thought was: Ye Yu could pretend to be her boyfriend and convince her dad to cancel the engagement.
But then she remembered—Ye Yu is Ichika's boyfriend!
"Pretend to be my boyfriend and convince my dad to cancel the engagement…"
Hearing this, Ye Yu directly faced her face-to-face and said playfully:
"Just pretend?"
Looking at Ye Yu's expression, Kei felt bitter in her heart.
She turned her head, not knowing how to respond to Ye Yu.
This man is too despicable—he already has a girlfriend, why is he still bothering me!
But Ye Yu was a man of action. With such a beautiful sight before him!
How could he not taste it first!
He kissed Karuizawa Kei's lips heavily.
Karuizawa Kei's mind went blank. Her eyes filled with disbelief.
Though this wasn't their first kiss!
But Ichika had just gone next door—who knows when she'd return.
If she saw this, it wouldn't just be social death.
She felt she wouldn't be able to stay in this house anymore!
"Mmph… stop! I can't betray Ichika! Get up right now!"
At that moment, the sound of a key unlocking the door came from the entrance.
Karuizawa Kei felt her whole body go soft with fear. Her hands still weakly protested.
"Ichika, didn't you say that bastard Ye Yu came back? Where is he?"
Nino held a stack of review materials, looking at Ichika with impatience.
Then the five sisters all walked in and sat down on the sofa one by one.
Karuizawa Kei felt like she was going crazy—because she was already being held by Ye Yu on the floor.
And he had thoughtfully placed a soft blanket underneath.
Her mind couldn't help but recall the time at her own house.
Her alcoholic dad was right there, and he couldn't see them either.
What kind of strange fetish does this guy have???
Ichika looked strangely at Karuizawa Kei's small bag on the sofa.
While dialing her number, she muttered in confusion:
"Where did Kei-neesan go? She was just here…"
The phone rang, but the phone was inside that small bag.
Yotsuba's eyes flickered. She had a feeling in her heart.
Is Ye Yu with Karuizawa Kei right now?
Thinking of what Ye Yu had done to her before, her heart felt very complicated.
Miku directly picked up her review materials and started studying.
"The exam is coming soon—hurry and look at the review materials!"
Nino snorted coldly with disdain.
"That guy is really unreliable! If he loses the bet, I'll definitely make a super difficult demand!"
Ichika smiled awkwardly, then sat down to study too.
For their convenience, Ye Yu had set up the previous enhancement learning halo in both his house and theirs. So they quickly entered study mode.
But soon, Itsuki frowned slightly and sniffed lightly.
"Why do I smell something strange…?"
…
Outside the window, at some point, dark clouds had gathered densely, pressing down oppressively over the entire city.
Bolts of lightning tore through the sky like sharp knives, splitting it in two.
Immediately after, deafening booms came—like the angry roars of gods, making people shudder with fear.
In an instant, torrential rain poured down from the dark clouds. Huge raindrops smashed against the windows with pitter-patter sounds.
Rainwater quickly gathered into streams and flowed into the drains.
…
Karuizawa Kei lay powerlessly on the blanket. Right now, she just wanted to slap Ye Yu.
Does this man have some strange fetish?
Seeing Ichika and the others studying intently, she felt so embarrassed she was about to faint.
Finally, the five sisters finished studying and all returned to their rooms.
Only then did Karuizawa Kei breathe a sigh of relief.
Then she glared at Ye Yu like an angry little kitten.
"Hmph, you bastard! I used to think you were a good person."
Ye Yu smiled and held her, his large hand gently stroking her smooth lower abdomen.
"You like me and I like you—how did I become a bad person? Weren't you just hugging me and saying…"
Seeing Ye Yu getting more and more outrageous, Karuizawa Kei directly covered his mouth.
"Enough! Don't say any more…"
…
Twenty minutes later, when Ichika returned to the room, she saw Ye Yu sitting on the sofa, while Karuizawa Kei was taking a bath in the room.
"Where did you two go? I called you but no one picked up?"
Ichika looked suspiciously at Ye Yu, feeling like something had happened between them.
"Something happened at Kei's house. I went to help deal with it. How come you missed me so much after just a short while?"
Ye Yu smiled faintly and directly pulled her over.
