Why did someone have to come at this time?
Lin Yi couldn't help but want to curse!
Did he really have to be an adulterer?
He clearly hadn't done anything!
He just came to cook a meal with Yoko Okino... Although he had other bad ideas in his mind, he hadn't put them into action yet!
Ding-dong, ding-dong——————-
"Yoko, we're here! Open the door!"
Lin Yi quickly put the shoes back into the shoe cabinet and hurried back to the bedroom; he felt that he wouldn't be able to leave tonight.
Lin Yi groaned inwardly. Just as he reached the living room, he saw Ono Yoko coming out of the bathroom, and their eyes met.
Ono Yoko was momentarily stunned.
Lin Yi quickly returned to the hallway, opened the walk-in closet, and ducked inside.
"What's wrong?"
Hoshino Terumi asked curiously, "Is your stomach still upset? I'll go get some medicine for you."
"No... no... no need."
Upon hearing the doorbell, Ono Yoko's hands began to tremble with nervousness.
She hurriedly said, "Terumi, the doorbell... it sounds like the doorbell rang. Could you please get the door? I'll get the medicine myself."
"Are you okay?" Hoshino Terumi said worriedly.
"Yeah... I'm... much better already."
Ono Yoko forced a smile.
"Then I'll go open the door."
Hoshino Terumi didn't think much of it, let go of Ono Yoko, and ran to the entrance to open the door.
After Hoshino Terumi passed the walk-in closet, Lin Yi slowly pushed the door open, glanced at Hoshino Terumi's back, came out, gently closed the door, and walked quickly toward Ono Yoko.
"Quick... quick..."
Ono Yoko pointed at the bedroom door, looking like she was about to cry from anxiety, and said, "Hurry back into the bedroom."
"No, I can't go back there."
Lin Yi shook his head in refusal. To get from the bedroom to the entrance, one had to pass through the living room. If there were only one person, it might be fine, but with three people waiting in the living room, Lin Yi would never have another chance to get out.
He said, "Later, you take them into the bedroom, and I'll take that opportunity to leave..."
"Um... I understand."
Ono Yoko nodded quickly. "Then where will you hide?"
"The closet... it's closest to the entrance."
As Lin Yi spoke, he headed back toward the closet, but halfway there, he heard the sound of crowded footsteps and conversation.
Lin Yi slammed on the brakes and stopped. He quickly turned around and headed toward the bathroom. As he passed Ono Yoko, he didn't forget to tell her, "Find a way to trick them into the bedroom quickly!"
Ono Yoko nodded frantically and watched as Lin Yi entered the bathroom and the door was gently closed.
At this moment, Ono Yoko had already begun to regret it.
She felt immense frustration.
If she had known things would turn out like this, she might as well have just let Terumi see Lin Yi.
At most, she would have faced a lecture from Terumi.
But now, if they were discovered... it would be much more than just a lecture.
Even if she explained that the two of them were innocent, they wouldn't believe her.
Ono Yoko felt that this was so difficult.
Takeno Yuki and Kusano Kaoru, who had entered the living room, both greeted Yoko.
"Yoko, long time no see..."
"Eh? Why do you look a bit unwell?"
"Ah... it's nothing."
Ono Yoko waved her hands repeatedly to show she was fine. "I just had some beer with Terumi earlier."
"She clearly still can't drink like before, but she insisted on drinking with me."
Hoshino Terumi said irritably, but she didn't say too much. Instead, she asked, "Are you two hungry? Yoko made some mapo tofu. If you're hungry, I'll help you heat it up in the kitchen."
"I want some!" Kusano Kaoru said, raising her hand. "I haven't had dinner yet!"
"Me too," Takeno Yuki agreed with a nod.
"Hmm? It's already this late, and you haven't eaten dinner?"
As Hoshino Terumi spoke, she carried the mapo tofu into the kitchen to reheat it. She checked the rice cooker; there was still quite a bit of rice, enough for each of them to have a bowl.
"Sigh, I just came back from that banquet..."
Kusano Kaoru said somewhat helplessly, "There were too many people there, I didn't dare eat too much... It was a bit boring, so I came back early."
"I just finished a shoot... I didn't have time to eat either..." Takeno Yuki added.
"..."
Watching them naturally sit down at the dining table to wait for food, Ono Yoko had no idea how to speak up and trick them into the bedroom.
And even if she did trick the two of them into the room, Hoshino Terumi was still in the kitchen, so Lin Yi wouldn't be able to run out anyway.
At the thought of this, Ono Yoko felt a massive headache.
There was no other way; she could only wait until they finished dinner before asking them into the bedroom.
Ono Yoko endured it, waiting for Hoshino Terumi to bring out the heated mapo tofu, and then waiting for the two of them to finish their dinner.
During this time, Ono Yoko was extremely worried that they would suggest going to the bathroom.
Once they went to the bathroom, they would find Lin Yi!
Finally, the beer-drinking phase began!
Ono Yoko said impatiently, "Let's go into the bedroom to drink!"
"Eh? Why do we have to go into the bedroom to drink?"
Kusano Kaoru asked, puzzled, "I think it's fine to drink here."
"Back when we were trainees, didn't we often gather in the room and chat together?" Okino Yoko smiled embarrassedly and said, "I want to reminisce about the feeling of the past."
Yueye Xue nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right... Although we couldn't earn much money back then, and we didn't have any fame, we were always happy as long as the four of us were together."
"Then we'll..." Okino Yoko was overjoyed and was about to take everyone to the bedroom when Hoshino Terumi objected, "Forget it, let's just drink in the living room... If we drink in the bedroom, it will be full of the smell of beer."
"We might even throw up... That would be troublesome."
"That's true."
Yueye Xue nodded, "Let's not cause trouble."
Okino Yoko hurriedly said, "It's no trouble... I just want to... relive the feeling and atmosphere of that time."
"You say that now, but if you really throw up on your bed, we'll have to clean it up."
Hoshino Terumi said, "If you want to relive the atmosphere of that time, just squeeze together on the sofa."
"Yes, yes... Let's just forget about it, Yoko."
Kusano Kaoru said with a smile, "And if we see something we shouldn't see in your room, that wouldn't be good."
"..."
Okino Yoko forced a smile, troubled, not knowing how to trick them into the bedroom.
"I'm going to the restroom..."
Hoshino Terumi stood up and walked towards the bathroom, "I drank a bit too much with Yoko just now..."
"..."
Okino Yoko watched Hoshino Terumi walk towards the bathroom, she opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
She just kept drinking, feeling that she had to get herself drunk before things got worse.
Then she could pretend she didn't know anything, and maybe she could get away with it... right?
