"Oh, that's how it is."
The receptionist, unsuspecting, nodded and said, "I understand, but you don't need to tell me, I would have done it anyway. Our line of work doesn't allow us to disclose customer information, so you don't need to..."
But didn't you come up and talk to me right away...? If there were another classmate next to me, they would have immediately exposed that "I" had stayed at a love hotel with a boy.
Speechless, May continued to probe, feigning the hesitation of an innocent young girl, and said, "Sister, what do you think of my boyfriend's appearance? Several of my friends say he looks too old-fashioned and is boring, and they're suggesting I consider breaking up with him."
After saying that, May looked troubled.
"How could that be? Your boyfriend is very handsome, and what do you mean by old-fashioned? He's called mature and steady."
The receptionist replied without hesitation, "Your boyfriend must be a serious and meticulous young man; he seems like a dedicated..."
I was going to give him a positive review, but the receptionist suddenly remembered that he had booked the room with two girls, and they were even sisters. So she swallowed her words and said, sweating a little, "In short, he's a good kid."
"That's it."
May nodded and smiled.
He's handsome, has a serious and rigid personality, and is a student at Ichinose High School. He also knows Ichika and Yotsuba and they're on good terms... With all these characteristics combined, who else could it be but Hayakawa!
"Farewell."
Having confirmed the outcome, May lost all interest in conversation and turned away without hesitation.
"Hey? Aren't you staying here?"
The receptionist seemed puzzled.
"No, I just went to the wrong door. I need to go back to the next room to eat."
May turned back apologetically.
"Oh it's all right."
The receptionist said nonchalantly, "Come stay again next time."
I wouldn't live there!
May spat in her heart several times, then turned around and went into the ramen shop as soon as she left the door, where she saw Hayakawa still sitting in a chair.
"You're back."
Hayakawa noticed the gaze and looked up.
May looked at Hayakawa and responded softly after a long while.
"I'm back…"
Her eyes were complicated.
Chapter 528 The Four Sisters' Shock
"I've finished talking to that girl."
Hayakawa didn't notice the complicated look in May's eyes and casually asked, "What's wrong? Did you forget to give her some homework?"
"No, it's just that Huizi's grades have dropped a lot recently for some reason," May explained. "So I was worried about her and went over to comfort her."
Hayakawa stood up and slung his backpack over his shoulder: "Hmm? What's the reason? Your grades have dropped."
May paused for a moment, then spoke the truth: "Heartbroken."
"Is it this kind of thing again...?"
Upon hearing this, Hayakawa immediately showed a look of disgust: "As a student, you should focus on your studies. Letting romantic relationships affect your grades, isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"Seriously, let's go."
After saying that, he shook his head, looking very disappointed, and stood up to walk towards the door.
May looked at him expressionlessly, her head turning in the direction Hayakawa was moving, thinking to herself, "You've already booked a hotel room with my two sisters, how dare you put on this face of opposing campus romance?"
The two of them took the train back to the neighborhood where Nakano lived. The journey was uneventful, and they didn't talk much.
……
"dong dong dong"
After a few knocks, the person inside opened the door and peeked out a cute, bare-faced face. Just as she was about to smile at May, she saw Hayakawa standing behind her and was immediately taken aback: "Hayakawa-san? Why did you come back with May?"
"We came back together since it was on the way."
Hayakawa looked calm and authentic.
"But didn't May say that we wouldn't be eating at home today, but would be eating out?"
Yotsuba Nakano blinked and said, "Does that mean Hayakawa-san ate out with Itsuki?"
"Yes."
Hayakawa said expressionlessly, unaware of the hesitant expression on May's face beside him.
"Eh...oh"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuba's expression suddenly turned strange. She first looked at Hayakawa, then at Itsuki, and said in a peculiar tone, "I see."
"What's that tone of voice?"
Hayakawa said, puzzled, and when he turned around, he found that May was looking down at the floor of the room, as if flowers were growing on the floor.
"Ok?"
Hayakawa frowned in confusion, a strange feeling creeping into his heart, a vague sense of foreboding.
What other situation is there that I don't know about?
The three of them entered the door together and saw Nino coming up to them. When she saw May, her pretty face turned serious and she said in an annoyed tone, "May, although I promised to let you go out for dinner, you came back way too late. Don't you know it's dangerous for a girl to wander around outside alone on a winter night? I'm never letting you go out for dinner by yourself again."
"What does objection have to do with winter..."
May protested quietly against Nino, who had entered her super-fierce state: "And I... I'm not outside."
"Huh? You're saying you're not alone..."
Nino raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but then she saw Hayakawa enter behind May. She immediately swallowed her words, her fierce expression vanishing in an instant, replaced by a gentle smile: "Hayakawa-kun, you're here."
May curled her lip, thinking, "That damn woman has two faces."
“Oh, that’s not right.”
Nino was about to get closer to Hayakawa through some sweet talk when she suddenly realized something and her expression changed slightly.
Hayakawa seemed to have come in with May, and it looked like they got home together. May was out having dinner, so could it be that Hayakawa went out to eat with May?
"Hayakawa-kun..."
Nino hesitated for a long time before tentatively asking, "Did you go to eat with May just now?"
"um, yes."
Hayakawa nodded.
Upon hearing this, Nino's beautiful eyes widened immediately, and she looked at May beside her. May immediately lowered her head even further, looking as if she dared not look at anyone.
Seeing this, Nino not only didn't look away, but tilted her head and moved closer, staring even more intently at the girl.
Her eyes held a mixture of doubt, confusion, wariness, and even a hint of admiration.
May couldn't take it anymore and said, "I'm going back to my room to change my clothes," before hanging her head and trudging upstairs.
As soon as May left, Nino turned her attention to Hayakawa, her eyes narrowed slightly, her expression subtle and strange.
"what happened?"
Hayakawa met her gaze without flinching and said expressionlessly.
Nino avoided eye contact: "It's nothing, come in quickly, we can start today's study after we finish eating."
……
There's a saying, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast," and this saying is undoubtedly very fitting for Hayakawa now.
Few people knew about her usual hard work in her studies, her unwavering will to persevere, and her courageous struggle against formidable opponents. But the inexplicable fact that she had dinner with May quickly spread among the five sisters.
Ichika looked shocked: "What? Hayakawa went to dinner with Itsuki-chan?"
Miku's pupils constricted and her hands trembled: How could this be? May actually...
"???"
What exactly happened? Why is there such a big reaction from them just because I had a meal with May? It's as if I didn't go out to eat with May, but instead married her outside the home.
Hayakawa's face was ashen. The inexplicable shock from the other four, besides May, was already baffling enough, but the strange looks they occasionally cast at him were even more unbearable for Hayakawa, making it impossible for him to concentrate on his studies.
"I can't bear it anymore!"
After countless times Ichika made "tsk tsk tsk" sounds at him, Hayakawa finally lost his temper and cornered her in a room on the second floor during a break.
"What are you doing? Hayakawa-kun..."
Ichika looked terrified and whispered as she glanced around, "They suddenly cornered me in this deserted place. Do they intend to do something horrible to me?!"
"..."
So your room is also an empty place.
"Okay, stop pretending, I have something to ask you."
Hayakawa impatiently exposed Ichika's clumsy acting. Although her expression of fear was very convincing, the joy and excitement in her eyes were completely undisguised!
"Ahem, what's up?"
Ichika coughed twice with restraint, instantly transforming from a pitiful female student who had encountered a pervert into an elegant lady.
Why are you all looking at me like that?
Hayakawa asked without hesitation, "And May, what's the deal with eating with her? Is that taboo in your family?"
Chapter 529 May's Favorite Thing
Hayakawa looked at Ichika and asked her all her questions, then waited for her answer.
"what are you talking about?"
Ichika gave a cute, bewildered look, poking her cheek with one finger and saying sweetly, "Ichika-chan, I don't understand a thing! My head's all messed up..."
"Stop pretending! Just tell me."
Hayakawa's face immediately turned as black as charcoal. He had been practically glued to his face just now, but now he was pretending to be stupid and saying he didn't know. It was obvious that he was deliberately making fun of him.
"Hayakawa-kun is so mean, you shouldn't treat a young girl like that,"
Ichika puffed out her pink cheeks angrily, then her expression turned serious: "I can answer your questions, but Hayakawa-san, please answer a few of my questions first."
Hayakawa's expression was gloomy, but he still nodded and said, "Go on."
"First,"
Ichika asked seriously, "After school, Hayakawa-kun, did you really go out to eat with May?"
Hayakawa nodded: "I'm going."
"Hmm, the second one,"
Ichika continued, "Did you or she suggest going to dinner?"
Hayakawa hesitated for a moment: "She suggested it."
Actually, it's not entirely accurate to say who suggested it. I didn't want to eat at the time; it was May who dragged me there.
"Ok."
Finally, Ichika asked, "So, how did you settle the bill for the last meal?"
Hayakawa said frankly, "She treated me. I originally wanted to pay myself or split the bill, but she insisted on paying."
"Oh, I see, I understand completely now."
Upon hearing this, Ichika smiled and nodded repeatedly with a look of sudden realization. The next moment, she stretched out an arm towards Hayakawa... and then pinned him against the wall.
"Boom!"
Feeling his back hit the wall, and looking at Ichika's pretty pink face and bright eyes so close to him, Hayakawa's face was filled with confusion.
I was pinned against the wall... Me? I, the mighty emperor, was actually pinned against the wall in such a humiliating position by a mere mortal woman.
What an insult this is!
