After my triumphs and defeats, I created multiple aliases across countless worlds.

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Byakuya in surprise.

Good guy.

Is it really that hard to talk to yourself about this?!

"Of course it's hard to talk about. Just think about it, I definitely can't bring myself to say it."

After all, I have written a book.

But if you really want me to tell you my own story...

It's really hard for me to do.

However, if you'd like to hear it, I can give you a brief overview.

I think it's okay to give a brief overview.

"can!"

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded in agreement.

That's not a problem.

It's not like we absolutely have to make Bai Ye explain everything.

I just wanted to start a conversation.

As she spoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and leaned against Byakuya, then hugged Byakuya and rested her head on his chest.

He rubbed his head.

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly smelled a very pleasant scent on Byakuya.

But they couldn't explain why.

Leaning against it like that, Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a sense of peace and tranquility.

It seems like this is pretty good too.

Why didn't I think of these things before?

Hiratsuka Shizuka found it strange that she had also discovered something after opening Pandora's box.

It seems that some things are not actually unacceptable to me.

Even at this point, Hiratsuka Shizuka began to regret her actions.

I knew things would turn out this way.

I shouldn't have rejected Yang Nai's suggestion back then.

In fact, Yang had already told her about this from the beginning.

However, at the time, Hiratsuka Shizuka was actually somewhat reluctant.

Of course, when Yang said that, he was actually joking.

At first, when Haruno found out that Hiratsuka Shizuka was actually having this fake relationship with Byakuya and then going home to lie to her parents...

Yang was shocked.

She discovered this by chance, when Hiratsuka Shizuka still refused to admit it.

If I hadn't kept asking, I probably wouldn't have been told this.

And that's exactly what made Yang Nai realize something.

So this is how you can do this?

So, at that time, Yang Nai was just joking.

However, looking back now, it seems that if I had followed Yang Nai's wishes back then...

It might already be the same as it is now.

As Hiratsuka Shizuka listened to Byakuya whisper the story in her ear, she would lean in and kiss Byakuya when she got emotional.

Although I had seen some explanations of the plot before, after hearing them, I suddenly felt a little heartbroken.

Thus, she also began to become a walking encyclopedia of questions, just like Kasumigaoka Utaha back then.

These two books resonated with her.

Why are you crying...?

Bai Ye felt that his own body was also soaked with sweat.

So you can cry while listening to stories? And when did Hiratsuka Shizuka become so sentimental?

Bai Ye also didn't quite understand.

"Why can't I cry? Who told you to write it like this! Both books are tragedies, you might as well have written 'Make-Out Paradise'!!"

Upon seeing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly spoke up as well.

Reading Bai Ye's writing style is really making my stomach hurt.

That would be better than writing about intimate paradise!

So this guy either writes unhealthy or offensive things.

"You're upset about this?! I think you just want to watch more 'Make-Out Paradise,' right? Speaking of which, you didn't watch 'Make-Out Paradise' before and then... um... I mean, you didn't want to fall in love just because you watched 'Make-Out Paradise,' did you?!"

Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in her lower back. If she had said those words aloud, she figured Hiratsuka Shizuka wouldn't have let her off the hook.

But Bai Ye was also somewhat confused.

Based on this, it seems that Hiratsuka Shizuka in the anime also wanted to be in a relationship, but not to this extent. It's as if I flipped a switch on Hiratsuka Shizuka.

A normal romantic relationship should involve holding hands, going on dates, kissing, hugging, and so on.

But then things changed completely.

This left Bai Ye feeling somewhat confused.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Bai Ye could only attribute it to Hiratsuka Shizuka seeing her own Icha Icha Paradise.

Thinking about it, he felt it might actually be true. He hadn't expected it; this was the allure of a paradise for intimacy.

"I only glanced at the book 'Make-Out Paradise' occasionally. As for what you're talking about, I haven't done any of that. Besides, I've wanted to be in a relationship for a long time. I'm getting older, so why can't I be in a relationship?!"

Besides, the reason I was single all this time was because I hadn't met someone I liked.

If I have someone I like, of course I'll make a move! I'm not the kind of person who just sits around waiting to be taken advantage of!

Hiratsuka Shizuka simply means she hasn't met someone she likes.

If she meets someone she likes, Hiratsuka Shizuka will certainly take the initiative.

As for the "Intimate Paradise" thing, Hiratsuka Shizuka was too embarrassed to talk about it with Byakuya anyway.

Even after today, it seems that she has no secrets from Bai Ye. He knows everything about her. Even if they don't know each other inside and out, they know what the other is like. She feels that she will no longer be able to keep up appearances in front of Bai Ye.

Chapter 251 - Were they both too tired last night?

"So, like this?"

Byakuya rubbed his chin and joked, "Judging from Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression, it seems she really did keep her word."

She wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die; in fact, she didn't sit idly by and wait to die. Instead, she took the initiative to attack.

Even though Bai Ye was reluctant to admit it before.

But this time it was indeed Hiratsuka Shizuka who took the initiative.

If it weren't for Hiratsuka Shizuka taking the initiative, I would never have gotten to this point.

At first, Bai Ye thought that this was just like before, that the two sides would simply meet and then the matter would be over.

It's possible that I might stay here for a while afterward.

But this time, staying to rest was truly beyond Bai Ye's expectations.

Of course, even if he stayed to rest, Bai Ye was actually quite clear-headed; he would most likely just rest for one night and then leave.

But unexpectedly, Hiratsuka Shizuka's proactive attack caught him off guard!

"What?! Don't you like my initiative?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka glanced at Byakuya, feeling that Byakuya was a bit too irritating.

It's clear that Bai Ye took all the benefits.

But Bai Ye's expression seemed to be saying something, and I just didn't like it.

She just wanted to be more proactive. In Hiratsuka Shizuka's view, if she met someone she liked, but in the end couldn't take the initiative to be with that person...

It would be better not to meet her at all; that's not in Hiratsuka Shizuka's character.

Therefore, since she and Byakuya were destined to be together, and this was also her first opportunity, Hiratsuka Shizuka naturally decided to make the most of it.

Ultimately, she didn't want to let this matter slip away from her grasp; she wanted to win over Bai Ye.
