Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief, sincerely thanked him, and then took the clothes.

"Call me if you need anything."

Hayakawa left after saying that, while Yotsuba dressed in front of the bathroom mirror, lost in thought as she did so.

Hayakawa is so thoughtful. I had just finished taking a shower when he brought over the toiletries and towels for the guests. After I finished showering, he immediately remembered that I didn't have any clean clothes and brought them over as well.

This feeling of being cared for and cherished at all times... is this what it means to be in the throes of new love?

Yotsuba covered her increasingly hot face, but the next moment she suddenly felt a chill in her heart and became alert.

No, no, this is a trap! This is a trap set to lower my guard. They're being so attentive to me now just to make me let my guard down so they can take advantage of me and make my life miserable. What a deep scheme! I absolutely cannot fall for it!

Be careful, Yotsuba!

but…

Yotsuba brought the slightly oversized collar to her face, sniffed the bell-shaped collar lightly, and then gently sniffed it.

It was the scent of Hayakawa, and the cool woody smell of the basil I had put in the closet—not unpleasant at all.

"what…"

Yotsuba's face turned even redder. This was exactly what it felt like to wear her boyfriend's clothes, as described online—it really was…

What a painstaking effort!

Yotsuba's expression stiffened, realizing she had let her guard down again. She immediately gave herself a warning, then put on a poker face in front of the mirror before leaving the bathroom.

We will absolutely not let them succeed!

……

As Yotsuba left the bathroom, she was about to ask Hayakawa for a hairdryer to dry her still-wet hair when she spotted Hayakawa sitting on the living room sofa, holding a hairdryer and looking at her with gentle eyes.

"..."

Conspiracy...it's all a conspiracy!

Chapter 432 Sharing a Room

conspiracy.

With bad intentions.

His mind must be filled with Naiko.

Seeing Hayakawa sitting on the sofa waiting for him for a long time, and even kindly bringing him a hairdryer, alarm bells immediately went off in his mind.

He had been indifferent to me for a long time, but now he's being incredibly attentive. There's no smoke without fire when it comes to such kindness.

"Here you are, Hayakawa."

Yotsuba's expression was normal, but her movements were very unnatural. She moved her body sideways, step by step, so that Hayakawa could only see the side of her body and wouldn't have any impure thoughts because he saw the curves of her body from the front.

"Ok?"

Hayakawa frowned as he looked at Yotsuba's strange walking posture and asked in confusion, "Why are you walking like a crab?"

"Hmmmm?"

Yotsuba blinked quickly, then realized what had happened in the next second. Her face flushed red, and she coughed lightly before resuming her normal walking posture: "Ahem, it was just an accident."

"Then come over here quickly."

Hayakawa plugged in the hairdryer and looked at her calmly: "I'll dry your hair."

"No need, I can blow it myself."

Yotsuba sat down next to Hayakawa and shook her head vigorously upon hearing this.

"Um…"

Hayakawa thought for a moment, then said without much concern, "Fine, go ahead and brag."

Yotsuba was taken aback at first, but the next second her pink cheeks puffed up like a hamster's.

I only slightly refused, and you immediately agreed. Couldn't you have asked again?

Is this what men are like? They don't cherish what they have after they've gotten it. Nino was right, all men in the world are the same!

Noticing Yotsuba's gaze, Hayakawa looked at her curiously and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's nothing..." (The rest of the text appears to be a fragmented collection of characters and phrases, possibly from different sources. A direct translation isn't meaningful without further context.)

Yotsuba silently turned her head away, picked up the hairdryer, studied it for a moment, and then started drying her hair.

"huhu"

The hairdryer blasted out hot air, blowing Yotsuba's bob hair back and revealing her fair and clean forehead. The girl's face, which had just been washed, was rosy and looked like a cute apple, making one want to take a bite.

Hayakawa couldn't help but glance at her again, and Yotsuba immediately noticed his gaze, quickly avoiding his eyes, her legs tensely pressed together, and her shoulder blades contracted.

What...why are you staring at me?! Are you trying to pounce on me?!

Yotsuba's heart skipped a beat, her entire being filled with "no." Pure as she was, losing her first kiss tonight was already an incident she would never forget for the next month. If anything else happened, Yotsuba absolutely could not bear it!

"Don't...don't look at me."

Yotsuba felt as if Hayakawa's gaze was two blazing fires, burning her body until she could no longer bear it and whispered something in her voice.

"Cough cough..."

Caught red-handed, even Hayakawa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He coughed twice and then put on a stern face: "I wasn't looking at you."

You're kidding! It was almost right next to me just now!

Yotsuba snorted coldly, and the whistling wind quickly dried her originally wet hair. The uncomfortable feeling of water sticking to her scalp also disappeared. Sure enough, you must wash your hair after taking a shower before going to bed, otherwise your head will hurt terribly when you wake up.

In the sweltering wind, the hair she was eating made Yotsuba's vision a little blurry. She secretly glanced at Hayakawa, who was sitting upright next to her, and felt a slight flutter in her heart.

Before today… no, even before taking a shower just now, Yotsuba could never have imagined that this would happen, that she would be taking a shower at the Hayakawa house and about to spend the night there… and most importantly…

He likes me.

Yotsuba recalled Hayakawa's confession to her earlier, and felt an unbelievable sense of disbelief, as if her soul had left her body. If she had to describe the degree of disbelief, she could only describe it as a dinosaur coming back to life.

Yes... he likes me.

Yotsuba remembered that Hayakawa had recognized her. She hadn't realized it at the time, but she remembered it now.

"I recognized you as Yotsuba in just 0.01 seconds."

It recognized itself in an instant, in just 0.01 seconds.

Yotsuba's heart skipped a beat as her mother's past teachings surfaced in her mind.

Only a true love spirit can distinguish the five sisters; this can be done as long as there is love.

So the fact that Hayakawa can recognize himself in this way proves... that he loves himself.

She was special in his eyes, not just an ordinary one among the five sisters, but someone who shone brightly and was unique enough to be noticed in just 0.01 seconds.

"..."

Amidst the whistling of the hot wind, Yotsuba's eyes lit up, a hint of warmth settling within them.

I am special...

……

In the dimly lit room, Yotsuba lay on the pillow, covered with an unfamiliar-smelling blanket, her head above an unfamiliar ceiling, unable to fall asleep no matter what she did.

what to do…

Yotsuba stared upwards, feeling lost.

It's really hard to fall asleep in an unfamiliar place. How should I put it... there's a feeling of unease, as if a stranger might appear at any moment, and I don't feel safe.

No, if this continues, I'll be lethargic tomorrow because I didn't get enough sleep. If I get dark circles under my eyes and Ichika notices, I'll be in big trouble. She'll definitely think I stayed up all night at the Hayakawa's house.

Yotsuba imagined Ichika's shocked face in her mind and immediately spat. She was in high school; she wasn't some clueless girl. At least she knew basic physiological hygiene.

What's most terrifying isn't Ichika, but the fact that Nino and the others are questioning her because of her dark circles. What if she accidentally lets something slip? That would be a huge disaster.

Let's go to Hayakawa's room. Even if I have to sleep on the floor, it's better than not being able to sleep at all.

Yotsuba made up her mind, grabbed the pillow with one hand and the blanket with the other, and headed to Hayakawa's room with great speed. But she stopped at the door and felt uneasy.

She looked at her pajamas; the wide collar offered no coverage whatsoever. Unfortunately, she didn't wear a bra before bed for comfort, so everything was clearly visible when she looked down.

What if Hayakawa makes advances towards me...?

Yotsuba was somewhat wary; this was something she had to consider. After all, boys were creatures whose brains were controlled by their lower bodies, and since she was in his house, she had to protect her chastity, since she was also an innocent girl.

After hesitating for a long time, Yotsuba gritted her teeth and walked towards the door.

It's alright. If Hayakawa can't control the demons in his heart, I'll use harsh words to stop him, make him feel ashamed, and make him realize what he's doing that is sinful.

If all else fails, my athletic performance is excellent. That bookworm Hayakawa, who only knows how to study, is no match for me. I can knock him down in just a few punches and kicks.

Moreover, I'm an excellent runner. If he pounces on me, I can do parkour with him in the room to exhaust him, so he won't be able to do anything.

Yotsuba felt a slight sense of relief upon realizing this.

Chapter 433 A Powerful Body

Yes, that's when a body that's been regularly exercised comes into play; Hayakawa is nothing compared to that.

Yotsuba felt a surge of confidence and, carrying her pillow and blanket, went to Hayakawa's door. After hesitating for a moment, she knocked.

"dong dong"

"Who?"

Hayakawa's voice came from the room; he wasn't asleep yet.

Yotsuba's heart skipped a beat. She took a deep breath and said in a soft voice, "It's me, Hayakawa-san."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and two seconds later, Hayakawa's voice rang out again.

"come in."

Yotsuba carefully pushed open the door and saw Hayakawa sitting on the bed in the room, looking at her. The room was dimly lit, so Yotsuba couldn't see his face clearly.

"Yosuga, what are you doing here?"

Hayakawa asked confused.

"I...I can't sleep."

Yotsuba's body went limp the moment she saw Hayakawa's gaze. All the fighting spirit she had mustered for the day vanished, and her body was now completely defenseless. She stammered, "I feel so unsafe in this unfamiliar room. I have such bad insomnia."

"..."

The room was quiet for a moment, then the lights came on. Hayakawa sat on the edge of the bed, looking helplessly at Yotsuba. After a long while, he said, "So what do you want to do?"

The unemployed man's face flushed instantly, his throat bobbed, and he whispered...

I don't know what to do either. If all else fails, let me sleep in your room.

Hayakawa's gaze instantly turned incredibly strange as he stared at Yotsuba in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. He murmured, "You..."

"No...it's not what you think. I mean, I want to sleep on the floor. I couldn't fall asleep in that room, so I came here. Sleeping on the floor is better than having insomnia."

Yotsuba nearly choked when she noticed Hayakawa's strange expression. She gasped for breath several times before finally managing to catch her breath, then angrily scolded him, "What are you thinking, you idiot!"

"Dirty!"

"Shameless!"

"Oh, that's how it is…"

Hayakawa nodded expressionlessly, unsure whether she should breathe a sigh of relief or feel disappointed. As for Hayakawa's sarcastic remarks, she naturally ignored them as the wailing of a weakling.

However, Yotsuba had made a request, and Hayakawa didn't refuse. So he stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him, and started rummaging through it with a bit of helplessness.

"Honestly, how old are you? You still can't sleep?"

As Hayakawa searched for bedding to use on the floor, he complained to Yotsuba with disdain, "Are you a kid staying away from home for the first time? You're so excited you can't sleep and you need someone to coax you to sleep?"

"Hayakawa, you're so annoying! This has nothing to do with age, right? And I'm not having sleepless because I'm excited,"

Yotsuba blushed and said in a low voice, unwillingly, "It just depends on the person. Some people just can't sleep in other people's houses."

Upon hearing this, Hayakawa sneered. This is how the weak are. If it were him, let alone in someone else's house, even on Huangguoshu Waterfall, or even in a haunted house where countless supernatural events have occurred, all he needed was a pen, an exercise book, and a stack of draft paper to create a miracle.

"Then how do you know you can fall asleep here?"
