After they ordered the dishes, the waiter knelt down to make tea for them and served them exquisite snacks. He then took away the tablet, closed the sliding door of the private room, and quietly left.
In the luxurious private room, there were finally only three people left, looking at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Well, this Shizuoka Gyokuro tastes pretty good." Yukinoshita Haruno was sipping her tea without feeling uncomfortable at all.
"Ahem, why did Ms. Yukinoshita suddenly think of treating us to dinner at such a high-end restaurant?" Mai Sakurajima spoke up to break the silence.
The relationship between her and Yukinoshita Haruno is not good. Previously, in order to help her sister snatch a man, Haruno had a verbal battle with Sakurajima Mai.
Although neither of them gained the upper hand in the end, the two of them still disliked each other.
Why did Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly invite her to dinner today? Maybe it was because the weasel was wishing a happy new year to the chicken - maybe he wanted to eat chicken.
Kato Megumi also looked over in confusion.
This was not the first time she had met Yukinoshita Haruno.
Before, Kato Megumi met Hayashi Kazuma and the Yukinoshita sisters on the street. By chance, she was pulled by Haruno to eat barbecue together, and that's how she got to know the Yukinoshita sister. After that, the two had no more contact.
Now, Yukinoshita Haruno has taken the initiative to propose to invite them to dinner at this high-end restaurant, which really makes people wonder what she is up to.
"I invited you here because I have something to discuss with you." Yang Nai put down the teacup, his expression gradually turning serious.
"Two nights ago, my sister and I both had precognitive dreams about Lin Hezhen. If I'm not mistaken, you two should have had similar dreams, right?" She looked straight at the two of them, her eyes sharp and intimidating.
Upon hearing this, Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi were both shocked.
They didn't expect that other people had the same absurd and bizarre dreams as themselves.
The two looked at each other and neither responded, which was considered as their agreement with her statement.
Yukinoshita Haruno saw both of their reactions. She showed an "as expected" expression and chuckled.
"Since everyone has had this experience, it means that this incident is probably not a coincidence. Why not talk about it openly? After all, we are now on the same side - about keeping Lin Hezhen."
"What exactly do you want to say?" Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but ask.
"Don't be impatient, Mai-sister," Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile, "Let's talk about our dreams first. I'll go first."
"First, my sister Yukino. She dreamed that Hayashi Kazuma accepted her confession, and after graduating from college, they got married and started a family, supporting each other to realize their dreams and live a happy life. However, they have been married for many years and have not had any children. They tried everything but to no avail. They went to the hospital for a check-up, but found out that there was nothing wrong with their health."
Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard this. How similar was the first half of this dream to what they had dreamed of themselves?
"Then what?" Sakurajima Mai couldn't help but ask quickly.
Yang Nai continued, "Then, a few years later, Lin Hezhen's cultivation broke through to the entry stage and he could travel through time and space on his own. On a clear night, he said goodbye to my sister, and then, regardless of her pleas, he slashed a space-time passage with his sword and walked in without any regrets."
"Just like that, he abandoned my sister and left this world alone, leaving poor Yukino to live a life of despair and like a walking corpse, and eventually died of depression."
"Wait...this, isn't this almost exactly the same dream I had?" Sakurajima Mai exclaimed.
"Did Senior Mai also have a similar dream?" Kato Megumi asked with concern.
"Yes, I had the same dream. I dreamed that Lin Hezhen and I got together, fell in love with each other, got married, and lived a dreamlike life. But after a few years, he suddenly abandoned me and left this world. I was left alone, tasting the loneliness, helplessness and despair..."
As Sakurajima Mai spoke, her eyes turned slightly red and tears were already sliding down her cheeks.
"Mai-senpai..." Kato Hui couldn't help but put her hand on her shoulder and comforted her softly, "It was just a dream."
Mai Sakurajima shook her head stubbornly, choking up and saying, "Is it a dream? But that feeling is more real than reality! It's as if we really lived together for ten years, and then he left me and I can never find him again."
"I can still clearly remember how I felt every time I woke up after he left and saw the empty room. It was like lying in a cold marble coffin, my body gradually stiffening and losing consciousness. That kind of heart-wrenching sadness..."
"Yes, Kato, if only my sister had this kind of dream, then it can indeed be said to be just a coincidence. But sister Mai and you also had a similar dream at the same time, so I'm afraid it can't be explained by coincidence, right?" Yukinoshita Haruno said in a deep voice.
"Then what was the dream that Miss Haruno experienced like?" Sakurajima Mai asked back.
"Me?" Yukinoshita Haruno was caught off guard.
A flash of panic flashed across her face, and then she regained her composure: "My dream is similar to the dream you and my sister had."
She was too embarrassed to tell them that the dream she had was about an ethical drama in which she had an affair with her brother-in-law behind her sister's back, and was caught in bed by Yukino.
"Well, Kato-san, can I ask you if there is any difference between the dream you experienced before and the dreams that Ms. Sakurajima and my sister had?" Yono turned the topic to Kato Megumi.
"It's similar to what I said before, Mai-senpai," Kato looked at the two people in front of him, his expression slightly hesitant.
"But later on, it wasn't Kazuma who left me. Instead, I was suffering from a terminal illness, and died in his arms. After my funeral, Kazuma cut open the passage of time and space and left this world."
"Terminal illness? That's actually the case," Sakurajima Mai sighed, "Kato-san doesn't have to feel abandoned. In some ways, he's lucky."
Yukinoshita Haruno interrupted, "Lucky? I don't think so. After all, she and Hayashi Kazuma eventually separated. If I'm not mistaken, if Kato-san hadn't gotten sick in his dream, and after a few years when Hayashi Kazuma's cultivation had recovered, he would still leave without hesitation."
Chapter 256 Why bother women?
After hearing the other party's words, Kato Megumi remained silent and did not refute, but her eyes dimmed slightly.
Yukinoshita Haruno declared that even if Kato Megumi was not sick in her dream, Hayashi Kazuma would still pass away in a few years.
Judging from the dreams of Mai Sakurajima and Yukinoshita Yukino, this possibility cannot be ruled out.
In his dream, Lin Hezhen may not intend to grow old with anyone. No matter who he is with, he will eventually choose to leave after a certain period of time.
Sakurajima Mai frowned and said, "Ms. Yukinoshita, although your speculation is reasonable, dreams are not the same as reality. The most obvious point is that in dreams, we are all ordinary people and have not embarked on the path of cultivation, but in reality, we are already cultivators."
She looked at Kato Megumi and continued, "At least, it is impossible for Kato-san to be separated from Kazuma because of illness in reality."
The physical fitness of immortal cultivators is far superior to that of ordinary people. Even if they are only in the initial stage of body-building, their physique is more than ten times stronger than that of ordinary people. They have strong immunity and self-healing ability. How could they be defeated by a mere disease?
Yukinoshita Haruno curled her lips and secretly complained: "You are immortal cultivators, but I am not."
She snorted inwardly but had a bright smile on her face.
She whispered softly, "Sister Mai is right, but the fact that you are willing to sit here and listen to what I have to say shows that you still have some faith in dreams, right?"
"I know you like Lin Hezhen, too. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, you don't want to see Lin Hezhen leave this world. In that case, why do you guys have to test each other?"
"Let's cooperate sincerely and work together to keep Lin Hezhen here!" Yukinoshita Haruno finally revealed her true colors.
As soon as these words were spoken, the room instantly became quiet.
Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi looked at each other, their expressions changing unpredictably.
Yukinoshita Haruno sipped her tea leisurely, looking confident of victory, and waited slowly for them to express their opinions.
"Cooperation? How to cooperate?" Sakurajima Mai broke the silence first.
"There is only one Lin Hezhen!" she emphasized.
"Are you asking us to share Kazuma? This is ridiculous. I can't accept it, absolutely not! Senior brother should only belong to me!" Mai Sakurajima said loudly and excitedly.
Although Kato Megumi remained silent, she stared at the teacup in Yukinoshita Haruno's hand from beginning to end, with an unfathomable light flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Yukinoshita Haruno relaxedly leaned back in the chair and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, Mai-sister."
"The most urgent problem we need to solve is to keep Lin Hezhen in this world. You don't think you can do this by yourself, do you? After all, you failed in your dream."
"As for the question of Lin Hezhen's ownership after he stays, it depends on each person's ability. Whoever grabs it first will own it." Yukinoshita Haruno stuck out her tongue mischievously.
"This……"
Yukinoshita Haruno's casual words hit Kato Megumi and Sakurajima Mai's hearts like a heavy hammer, leaving them both stunned at the same time.
"I think you all have experienced how difficult it is to conquer Lin Hezhen. Is it really possible for one person to win alone? Instead of engaging in a foolish game alone, why not find a few more allies and work as a team?"
Yukinoshita Haruno continued to persuade, "Anyway, with Hayashi Kazuma's personality, as long as there is one person who can successfully take him down, it will be much easier for him to accept others."
"Even if someone could give birth to children for him and achieve something that no one in the dream could do, I am sure that Lin Hezhen would never leave this world!"
Yukinoshita Haruno's words were like a depth bomb dropped into the minds of Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi, shocking them completely.
"Having children and such..." Mai Sakurajima muttered to herself, her hands nervously intertwined, a blush on her face.
Kato Megumi also lowered her head slightly, her eyes flickering, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled slightly. She saw shyness and longing in the eyes of the two people. After all, it is impossible for anyone to remain calm when facing such a sweet and beautiful future.
Seeing Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi like this, Yukinoshita Haruno's mouth curled up into an arc.
Then, she stood up straight and stretched out her hands to the two of them: "Since everyone has no objection, then our cooperation is concluded."
Sakurajima Mai and Kato Megumi looked at each other, then stretched out their hands at the same time and held Yukinoshita Haruno's slender and soft hands.
"It's a pleasure working with you!" Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.
"It's a pleasure working with you!" the two women said in unison.
"Hey, we've been talking for so long, I'm hungry. Let's quickly serve the food." Yukinoshita Haruno showed a bright smile, "Mai, Hui, my sister is treating us today, so don't be polite to her~"
She changed the way she addressed the two people, and her words were extremely warm, as if she really treated them as her own family.
"Thank you, Sister Yukinoshita." Sakurajima Mai said with a smile.
"Hey, don't be so distant, just call me Sister Haruno." Yukinoshita Haruno put her arms around Sakurajima Mai's shoulders.
"Yes, Sister Yang."
"Yoshi yoshi, what a good kid."
……
On the other side, Hayashi Kazuma and Yukinoshita Yukino had finished their lunch and were cleaning up the dishes.
Ying Lili lay beside her food bowl, concentrating on the hamburger patties and New Zealand chicken wings, enjoying them very much.
"Ding Dong." The doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Yukinoshita Yukino wiped her hands and walked over to open the door.
"Lin Jun, do you want to go swimming with us this afternoon... Why is it you, a woman?"
When she saw the person coming, Kaguya Shinomiya's originally smiling face instantly changed into a Sichuan opera expression.
The relationship between these two has been strained ever since they had a quarrel in the service department.
“Hehe, are you surprised to see me at Kazuma’s house? Then I advise you to get used to it as soon as possible. After all, I often stay at Kazuma’s house, and maybe even move in in the future.” Yukinoshita Yukino replied with a wry smile.
She was wearing a V-neck white dress, had a slim figure, waist-length black hair, and her fair skin was faintly rosy, like a rose that had just been moisturized.
Shinomiya Kaguya was so angry that her teeth itched: "Don't flatter yourself. Don't think I don't know that Kazuma's family never lets outsiders live here casually. He probably took you in just like he took in Eriri, that homeless stray dog, out of humanitarian concern."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a hint of sarcasm: "That's better than you, Shinomiya Kaguya, you have never lived in Kazuma's house, right? You don't know how soft his big bed is."
"Humph, who said that?" Shinomiya Kaguya sneered, "During the time when Lin Jun and I exchanged bodies, I slept here every day. I even used his body to take a shower and go to the toilet..."
At this point, Shinomiya Kaguya stepped forward, leaned close to Yukinoshita Yukino's ear, and whispered, "The man you like, I have kissed, touched, and caressed every inch of his skin! How about it, are you envious and jealous?"
"What? You..." Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's face suddenly changed.
"Hahaha!" Kaguya Shinomiya felt extremely happy when she saw her angry look.
"What? Are you jealous?" Shinomiya Kaguya looked at her with contempt, "I tell you, no matter how close you are to Lin Hezhen, he will eventually belong to me, and forever!"
"That may not be the case!" Yukinoshita Yukino took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger surging in her heart, "As long as I'm here, you can't take him away from me!"
"Ha, who do you think you are? If he really likes you, why hasn't he responded to you until now? Stop fooling yourself." Shinomiya Kaguya sneered without mercy.
"Hmph, you talk as if he has accepted you, but aren't you still not with him?" Yukinoshita Yukino retorted.
"you--"
The two women stared at each other, their eyes collided and sparks flew.
"Ahem, Ms. Kaguya, we are here to invite Mr. Lin to go on vacation in the private swimming pool." Hayasaka Ai at the side reminded at the right time.
"He doesn't want to go. Please go back." Yukinoshita Yukino made a gesture to close the door.
"Hey, what right do you, a woman, have to make decisions for Lin Jun?" Kaguya Shinomiya quickly stretched out her foot to block the gap in the door.
"Yes, Ms. Yukinoshita, it's inappropriate for you to answer without your permission. It would be better for us to ask Mr. Lin in person." Hayasaka Aiya stretched out her hand and held the door tightly.
The three beautiful girls were competing with each other at the door, and none of them was willing to step back. Only the unfortunate door made a wailing sound as it could not bear the weight.
"What's going on?" Lin Hezhen walked out of the room.
Shinomiya Kaguya's eyes instantly turned red, with an aggrieved expression: "Lin-jun, I came here to invite you to go swimming with us, but Yukinoshita-san chased me away without asking any questions, and even clamped my feet with the door... Look, my feet are swollen!"
Shinomiya Kaguya lifted her right foot and saw a red mark on her ankle that was particularly conspicuous.
"Kazuma, please help me quickly, otherwise I will sprain my ankle." Shinomiya Kaguya grabbed Lin Kazuma's arm and said with tears in her eyes.
Yukinoshita Yukino said unhappily, "It was you who insisted on stretching your foot over here, and as a cultivator, it shouldn't matter if you get caught in the door!"
"But my feet really hurt." Shinomiya Kaguya continued to play the role of a weak woman who was bullied, and rubbed her whole body into Lin Kazuma's arms.
Lin Hezhen sighed and said, "Both of you should calm down."
