Chapter 163: Online (1/2)

“Where have you been? Even if you do not want to attend classes, at least you need to tell me about it. If you keep going like this, be careful your grades would fall.” Takeda took off his shoes at the entrance and loudly muttered.

When he walked into the living room, he found out there was another person there besides Lei Yin. Moreover, that person was a girl.

That girl was impressive looking, with smooth semi-long hair that naturally draped over her shoulders. Her face wore a pair of silver thin-framed glasses, plus a white-colored silk dress and high-heeled shoes. She seemed filled with the kind of intellectual beauty that cannot be put into words. Although her age was not big, there was a glamorous style of a mature woman on her brows. And her slightly aloof expression made people made people felt there was a hard to close distance as well as mystery.

“Masashi, is she your girlfriend?” Takeda walked to Lei Yin side and whispered.

Lei Yin ignored him and simply said to the girl: “Kazumi, let us go out for dinner. You can also call your classmate.”

The girl somewhat hesitantly looked at him, “Brother, I am still not used to this.”

“It does not matter, you can slowly get used to it.”

At his insistence, Kazumi finally nodded her head.

The nearby Takeda, who have heard their conversation, looked at his good friend’s sister as if he saw a ghost during the day.

“Ma, Masashi, is that really Kazumi?” When walking down outside, the has been in a state of spiritual journey Takeda suddenly pulled his friend to the side and then asked with a look of disbelieve.

“Hey, being slow also has its limit.” After walking for so long, he still asked this question.

“But the difference is too far.” Takeda was helpless, he seemed unable to connect the girl that followed them to the somewhat unsophisticated girl that he previously knew.

“Really?” Lei Yin turned around and looked at his sister who still had the previous somewhat indifferent, as if thinking deeply, look.

Relative to Takeda’s reaction, when Take Asasei saw Kazumi’s new look, her reaction was much more greater.After a round of yelling that seemed like a high

After a round of yelling that seemed like a high grate yelling voice of a ghost to Takeda, Take Asasei, like a pet meeting its master, hovered around Kazumi, watching her nonstop.

“Haven’t you seen enough?” Kazumi finally reached the end of her patience.

“Ah, you really are Kazumi.” The girl embraced her with excitement.

Kazumi felt somewhat powerless to refuse her action.

At the cafeteria, Yoshikawa and Akira Shiraishi were already there waiting for them.

To Kazumi’s new image, Yoshikawa won over Takeda in comparing how big their reactions were. Besides showing a bit of startled look at the beginning, Akira Shiraishi quickly restored his calm appearance.

Perhaps because she was not used to being watched, at dinner time Kazumi did not say a single word, seemingly even more silent than before. All of these did not escape Lei Yin’s eyes.

After eating the meal, Lei Yin said to her: “Kazumi, let us go to my apartment, I want to talk to you.”

Raising her head to look at him, Kazumi nodded.

“I also want to….” Takeda’s “go” word was forced back into his mouth by Lei Yin’s stare.

“Akira, could you send Kazumi’s classmate back to their apartment?” Lei Yin still did not know Take Asase’s name.

“You owe me one.” Akira Shiraishi smiled and said.

“We go first.” After Take Aasei and Kazumi said their goodbye to each other, Lei Yin led her sister back to his apartment.

After they have walked away, Takeda grabbed his chin and said: “I never thought Kazumi turned out to be so beautiful. If I knew this, I would have treated her better.”

“I do not understand why she previously dressed like that, it was truly a waste.” Yoshikawa felt the same.

“This is also my first look at Kazumi’s new appearance. But tonight I see that she does not seem to be very happy.” Take Asasei could not help but join the discussion.

“Maybe she is not used to it.”

“Masashi’s sister classmate, let us get out of here.” Akira Shiraishi did not want to waste time listening to their gossip.

“Yes.” Still having a strong urge to talk, Take Asasei a bit disappointedly walked toward him.

After returning to his apartment, Lei Yin poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

“Thank you.” Starting to relax, Kazumi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After she put down the cup, Lei Yin suddenly said: “Kazumi, I am sorry.”

“Why are you suddenly apologizing to me?” Kazumi became somewhat puzzled and asked.

“I initially thought you can slowly adapt to your new look, but I did not think you would get so uncomfortable. It seems like I am too impatient.”

After looking at him for a moment, Kazumi suddenly laughed, and then slowly leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Brother, do you know what is your greatest weakness?”

“What?” Regarding her question, Lei Yin can only scratch his head.

“You are too soft toward girls, that is not a good habit.”

“Hey, do not make me sound like a Playboy.”

“Fool, it’s not what you think. In fact, I was not nervous because of that. How should I say this? I just felt like I was suddenly not myself. I really do not like this feeling.” Kazumi pondered for a moment and then said.

“Kazumi, even though your appearance has changed, you are still you. On this point, you should know better than anyone else. Before this, you deliberately dressed to reject other people from becoming close to you. You might as well said you refuse to accept your own past.”

Lei Yin felt Kazumi’s body lightly trembled.

He gently pulled her body and, sure enough, saw her eyes were full of tears.

“Listen to me, this may be painful, but humans can only grow if they can directly face with their own past. The past is in the past, you should try to make some change for yourself. Only you can help yourself to walk out of the shadow inside your heart, someone else can’t.” Lei Yin finally decided to speak out his mind.

Lying in his arms, Kazumi cried even harder, and tears soaked the chest part of his clothes.

Lei Yin did not say anything, just tightly holding her.

After an unknown amount of time, when Kazumi woke up, she found herself lying on a bed, and covered with a sheet.

For a time, she did not know exactly where she was. After a while, after looking at the furnishing in the room, she remembered that this was Lei Yin’s room.

‘Where is my brother?’ She slowly sat up.

When she walked into the living room, she saw Lei Yin was doing something with his laptop above his knees.

“Woke up?” Lei Yin turned his head and looked at her.

Kazumi came over and sat down on the sofa next to him.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to order a takeaway?” Lei Yin combed her tilted hair with his hand.

“I am not hungry.” Kazumi shook her head.

Just like two years ago at their farewell night, Lei Yin found that the just woke up feeling confused Kazumi was like a child who has yet to wake up.

“What time is it now?”
