I'm in Morioh, just joined a chat group for cute girls.

This guy seems to have gotten a little smarter. A thought flashed through Gu Ye's mind. Just as he was about to put his phone away, another profile picture started flashing.

【Devilish Muscle Rin】: @WeatherForecastGuYe, when are you free? I need to go over there to help Sakura with her health issues. I've already prepared the points.

[Weather Forecast]: School ends in one hour, wait a bit.

【Devil Muscle Rin】: Okay.

Gu Ye turned off the screen, put his phone back in his pocket, and turned his gaze back to the distorted formulas on the blackboard, but his thoughts had already drifted back to the gentle purple figure at home.

As soon as the school bell rang, Gu Ye was the first to rush out of the classroom.

When he returned home, he was greeted by the familiar aroma of food.

Sakura Matou was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron when she saw him return, and immediately gave him a gentle smile.

"Brother Gu Ye, welcome back."

"I am back."

Gu Ye changed his shoes, walked to the kitchen doorway, leaned against the door frame and said, "Sakura, there's something I need to tell you. Your sister, Rin Tohsaka, is coming over later."

"elder sister?"

Sakura paused for a moment while chopping vegetables, the blade hovering in mid-air.

The color drained from her face at a visible speed, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head instinctively and asked softly, "Is it... about me?"

"Yes, she has accumulated enough points and is preparing to exchange them for items to help you completely resolve the problems in your body."

Gu Ye said.

Sakura fell silent, and only the faint hum of the range hood remained in the kitchen.

She didn't want her sister to pay such a high price for her; 50,000 points was almost all of Rin's wealth.

More importantly... if her body is truly cured, will the unique, intimate connection between her and Brother Gu Ye, built upon the "treatment," cease to exist?

Will the feeling of being held in his arms, feeling his warm body temperature, and listening to his steady heartbeat... that joy deep within her body, which made her feel both ashamed and incredibly happy... all disappear?

No... I don't want to lose it.

This thought grew wildly like a vine, coiling around her heart.

"Brother Gu Ye..."

Sakura looked up, her eyes pleading. "Could you... ask my sister if she's already bought that item?"

Gu Ye looked at her and understood her unease from her eyes.

He didn't ask any more questions, but simply took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat.

[Weather Forecast]: @DevilMuscleRin, have you bought the props yet?

【Devilish Muscle Rin】: Not yet. I'll buy it in front of Sakura once you agree to let me go, so she can feel at ease.

Seeing this reply, Ying felt like she had grasped a lifeline and immediately said, "Brother Gu Ye, quick! Tell my sister not to buy it yet!"

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the chat group started vibrating again.

[System notification: Group member "Devil Muscle Rin" has requested to enter your world. Do you agree?]

"She applied directly."

Gu Ye looked at Ying, waiting for her decision.

"Once our relationship is official, you shouldn't have to leave, right?"

Gu Ye asked tentatively.

Sakura's body trembled slightly. She shook her head, a bitter smile on her face: "No, Brother Gu Ye. If that happens... Sister might go crazy."

She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and her eyes became firm again.

"It's okay, Brother Gu Ye, please approve my sister's application."

She gave Gu Ye a reassuring smile, "Leave the rest to me."

Gu Ye gazed at her, and in those seemingly gentle eyes, he saw an undeniable will. He chose to believe her.

"it is good."

He clicked the "Agree" button on the screen.

In the center of the living room, a ripple spread through the space, and a red figure appeared out of thin air, accompanied by a unique magical fluctuation.

As soon as Rin Tohsaka stood up, she put her hands on her hips and looked at Gu Ye with a dissatisfied expression.

"What are you doing? It took you so long to get here. Don't you know how worried I was..."

She stopped abruptly halfway through her question.

Her gaze passed over Gu Ye and landed directly on Matou Sakura, who was walking out of the kitchen.

Rin's eyes widened suddenly.

The woman before me was dressed in simple, elegant home clothes, her face glowing with a healthy rosy hue, her long purple hair neatly tied back, and she exuded a peaceful and gentle aura.

This was completely different from the sister she remembered, who was always pale, had empty eyes, and carried an inescapable sense of gloom.

In that single glance, Rin felt a sharp pang in her heart.

She realized with absolute clarity that Sakura was living a much better life here than she was at the Tohsaka family, or when she was by her side—a thousand times, ten thousand times better.

A pang of bitterness and jealousy welled up inside me, but it was quickly replaced by a stronger sense of guilt and determination.

It's okay... Soon... Soon Sakura won't have to live under someone else's roof anymore.

"cherry!"

Rin quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sakura's hand. Her hand was a little cold, while Sakura's hand was warm.

"elder sister……"

Sakura called softly.

"I'll go buy the items in the chat group right now!"

Rin's voice carried a hint of urgency and undeniable determination, "We'll restore you to normal right away! You'll never have to suffer like that again!"

However, to Rin's surprise, Sakura gently shook her head and placed her other hand over Rin's hand.

"Sister, no."

Sakura's voice was soft, but unusually firm.

"what?"

Rin froze, almost thinking she had misheard. "What did you say? Sakura, do you know what you're saying? Why don't you want to?"

"Because...it's not worth it."

Sakura gazed at her older sister, her eyes filled with seriousness. "My sister has already sacrificed so much for me. I can't let you waste such precious points on me. It's not worth it."

"What's the big deal about whether it's worth it or not! I'm your older sister!"

Rin's voice rose a few decibels; she was getting a little anxious.

"and,"

Sakura continued, her voice still steady, carrying a comforting power, "My health has actually improved a lot. Brother Gu Ye and Sister Medea have been helping me, and I feel... that after a while, I might be able to recover on my own. Really, Sister, you don't need to worry about me."

She took a step forward, grasped Rin Tohsaka's hands tightly with both of them, leaned forward slightly, and almost pressed her forehead against Rin's shoulder.

"Sister, let's go back."

Sakura looked up, her eyes reflecting Rin's astonished face. She gave him a gentle and earnest smile. "I don't want you to spend money on me. Let's go home, okay?"

Rin Tohsaka's brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were filled with lingering worry.

She looked her younger sister up and down, from her smooth purple hair to her fair and rosy cheeks, and then to her steady breathing.

The cherry blossoms before me showed no signs of illness or weakness whatsoever; instead, they resembled carefully tended flowers, radiating a healthy and serene glow.

"Really...no problem?"

Rin was still worried, so she reached out and gently touched Sakura's forehead; her temperature was normal.

She then took Sakura's wrist and felt her steady, strong pulse.

"It's really alright, sister."

Sakura smiled as Rin examined her, her voice gentle yet persuasive, "See, am I not fine now? Better than ever before."

"But... what exactly is going on?"

Rin finally let go, but her doubts deepened. "Since you're all better, why didn't you tell me sooner? Do you know how worried I was about you!"

A blush crept onto Sakura's cheeks. She lowered her head slightly and whispered, "I'm sorry, sister. It's because... I only started to feel completely better these past few days, and I'm afraid the situation might be unstable and give you false hope, so I want to observe it a little longer..."

This explanation was so reasonable that Rin couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Looking at her sister's expression, which carried a hint of shyness and apology, the last trace of doubt in her heart finally vanished.

She let out a long sigh of relief, and her tense shoulders relaxed.

"Really... That's good, that's good."

Rin murmured to herself, then gripped Sakura's hand tightly again, as if afraid she would disappear once more, and said in an unquestionable tone, "Since everything's alright, let's go home together! Let's go home!"

"Ah."

Sakura nodded gently and obediently let her older sister pull her along.

At the doorway, as Rin turned to activate the teleportation magic, Sakura stopped and glanced back at Gu Ye, who was standing in the living room.

Her eyes shimmered with a complex and bright light under the lamplight. There was no reluctance to part in her eyes, but rather a sly smile and unparalleled confidence.

That look clearly conveyed a message: Brother Gu Ye, wait for me. It won't be long before I can return openly and legitimately.

As the two sisters disappeared into the magical aura, the living room fell silent instantly, as if even the air itself had become somewhat chilly.

The atmosphere at dinner was far less lively than usual.

The table was set with a sumptuous meal prepared by Irisviel's maids, Sera and Liselle, which was impeccable in both appearance and taste, but everyone seemed somewhat distracted.

"I feel like... something's missing."

Kitagawa Kaimu poked at the steak on her plate with her fork and said listlessly, "Although Sera and you guys make really delicious food, I still really miss Sakura's hamburger patties."

"The food Sakura makes tastes like home."

Medusa spoke up, taking a small sip of red wine.

"When will Sister Sakura come back...?"

Ilya slumped on the table, barely touching even her favorite dessert.

Chapter 128 Even in places where sunlight can't get in, Onii-chan can manage!

Irisviel smiled and patted her daughter's head, gently comforting her, "Ilya, it's okay. Sakura has just gone home. We can still see each other in the future."

Sera and Lizziet stood to the side, glancing at each other at the somewhat somber atmosphere at the table.

They were perfect servants, able to take good care of their master's daily needs, but they could not fill the void of family warmth left by Sakura.

After all, their primary clients are always Irisviel and Illya, while Sakura treats everyone here as family and cares for them gently.

As night deepened, the Gu family home fell into silence.

In Ilya's room, a girl wearing pink bunny pajamas was sitting on the edge of the bed, swinging her legs angrily.

Just now, she once again asked Irisviel to let her sleep with Gu Ye.

"No, Ilya."

Irisviel gently but firmly refused, "You're a big girl now, you can't keep bothering Brother Gu Ye."

"But I want to sleep with him!"

Ilya persisted in her whining and pleading.
