Chapitre 40: Chapter 40
If he had acted first against Ran, Sonoko would have been secretly manipulating things for Shinichi to repeatedly appear near Ran, thus ruining his chances.
"It really isn't easy for you; after helping one side, you also have to console the other," Lin Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, I'm already used to this," Sonoko replied with a tone of resignation. She knew more about the issues between the two than the ones involved.
"Since you've been helping for so long… why not leave them alone this time?"
Lin Yi took his plate and cup and headed to the sink: "Let them handle it themselves."
After finishing her breakfast, Sonoko also took her plate and cup and walked to the sink. She frowned and asked, "Do you think it's okay like this?"
"From their point of view, it indeed doesn't seem okay."
Lin Yi turned on the tap and, while washing the dishes, said, "But from my point of view, I think you should take a break and not worry so much."
This response made Sonoko feel very happy. "I'll consider your advice! So, do you have any plans for later?"
"Before you go out at noon to meet Ran…"
Lin Yi dried his hands and lifted Sonoko into his arms: "Let's have some fun."
Sonoko smiled and hugged Lin Yi's shoulders, letting him carry her to the room.
...
An hour later, Sonoko could no longer hold on and gave up.
Since she had to leave at noon, Lin Yi abandoned the plan of continuing to fill her up.
Lin Yi had thought about releasing the rest of his energy by running, but he didn't expect Sonoko to take the initiative to help him solve the problem with her hands and mouth.
This exceeded his expectations a bit.
However, reflecting on it, Japan has quite early sex education, and it is also a country known for its AV industry. It's possible that teenagers in puberty have secretly watched some adult films.
Observing and learning certain techniques through these films is not unusual.
In summary, after releasing their energy, Sonoko cuddled with Lin Yi and talked to him about things usually shared only with a partner, such as her worries and family matters.
Sonoko, in front of Ran, is always lively and cheerful, so she couldn't share these matters with her. Before, without anyone suitable to talk to, she had to keep everything to herself. But now that she had someone, she didn't need to hide it.
After hearing some of Sonoko's thoughts, Lin Yi gained a deeper understanding of Suzuki Sonoko's family situation.
At noon, Sonoko packed her things and left to meet Ran.
The two had arranged to meet at a dessert shop.
Ran, defenseless in front of her friend, confided all her worries. She told Sonoko everything that had been bothering her since the night before.
Sonoko, of course, carefully comforted her, first calming Ran's mood, and once she calmed down, she started talking about the problems.
However, this time Ran wasn't as she usually was; she wasn't satisfied with just calming down.
Even after she calmed down, she maintained her point of view.
This made Sonoko realize that Ran might be serious this time and wouldn't just need comforting words like before.
However, thinking it through, a girl's best years only last 18 years. Eighteen years may seem long, but they can also feel short. Finding a suitable partner in that time isn't an easy task, especially after entering society.
Moreover, after being at a standstill with Shinichi for so long without any progress, any woman would lose patience.
Sonoko remembered Lin Yi's words from that morning and felt that continuing to get involved was pointless.
Shinichi was an ignorant fool who didn't realize; even with her subtle and direct suggestions, he didn't pick up the signal.
This confused Sonoko a lot. How can a person who is usually so smart fall behind at a critical moment?
How can he solve cases if he doesn't understand such obvious hints like "Mrs. Kudo" or "Shinichi's wife"?
So, Sonoko decided to let Ran make her own decisions.
Ran felt very encouraged by her friend's support and expressed her plans: "I'll make the final decision after tomorrow's amusement park visit…"
Since Sonoko had chosen to support her, she naturally wouldn't oppose her again.
Originally, Sonoko had planned to tell Ran the happy news about her relationship with Lin Yi.
However, seeing Ran so worried, she thought it wasn't the right time to tell her, so she decided to wait until she was in a better mood to share the news.
"It won't be too late to announce the relationship whenever you want."
"I can't join you on Sunday… Don't worry, I have things to do too."
"Well… see you at school on Monday."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Yi let out a long sigh of relief.
Upon learning that tomorrow would be the day when Shinichi and Ran went to the amusement park, Lin Yi couldn't help but think about other matters.
Lin Yi had planned to find an excuse to keep Sonoko busy on Sunday.
But he didn't expect Sonoko to already have commitments for that day.
Lin Yi was naturally happy about this. As a man who has to spend his whole life having sex, the last thing he wants is for a girl to stay with him all day.
This could greatly impact his timing for conquering his targets.
Imagine, how could you carry out your conquest strategies if a girl is always by your side?
Even if the girl doesn't complain, the conquest target would.
Of course, not being glued together doesn't mean that after a night of sex, each goes their separate ways.
Being "unglued" means giving each other the necessary space and time… Huh? Why does that sound so familiar?
Well, in summary, the fact that Sonoko isn't glued to Lin Yi is a good thing, as it facilitates his movements
