Crossover Anime: Starting as a King and Ascending to Godhood

Page 89

She had only meant to be polite, but Lin Bai had actually agreed, so it wouldn't be good to back out now.

Chapter 068 is inappropriate; I don't understand!

"Let's go, Machida-nee."

Seeing Machida Sonoko standing there in a daze, Lin Bai looked at her with a smile on his lips.

"Ah, oh!"

Machida Sonoko quickly responded.

He pretended to be calm and walked past Lin Bai.

It wasn't that she disliked Lin Bai or didn't want him to come to her house.

However, she noticed that Lin Bai had changed a bit during their chat yesterday.

They seem to have become more aggressive.

She had a vague feeling that if she let Lin Bai come to her house, something might happen.

Since things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time and see what happens.

The two took the elevator to the twelfth floor.

Machida Sonoko lives in room 1202.

Click, she opened the door.

"Please come in."

"excuse me."

Lin Bai walked into the entrance hall, and Machida Sonoko closed the door and then took out a pair of unopened slippers from the shoe cabinet.

I changed into slippers and went to the living room.

Machida Sonoko smiled at Lin Bai and asked, "I only have barley tea and water here. Would you like some?"

"A cup of barley tea, please."

Lin Bai made his choice upon hearing this.

"alright, please wait."

Machida Enko headed to the kitchen area.

Lin Bai sat down on the sofa in the living room and turned to look around.

There aren't many things in the living room.

The items are arranged quite neatly.

This shows that Machida Sonoko usually pays attention to cleanliness at home.

A little while later, Machida Sonoko returned with two cups of barley tea.

"Give."

She handed Lin Bai a cup and sat down next to him.

Sitting next to Lin Bai, her gaze couldn't help but drift to his face, especially his eyes that seemed to hold a hidden starlight.

Calm and profound, bright and captivating.

My heart is beating a little faster.

Suddenly, I remembered what I had thought yesterday.

When she thought of her boyfriend, Lin Bai's image came to mind.

If Lin Bai were my boyfriend...

A thought suddenly popped into Machida Sonoko's head.

"Sister Machida..."

At this moment, Lin Bai, who had just taken a sip of barley tea, looked at her and suddenly spoke up.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Machida Sonoko immediately snapped out of her daze and somewhat guiltily looked away from Lin Bai.

I almost got engrossed in it again.

Machida Sonoko, what's wrong with you?

Lin Bai is thirteen years younger than you!

Machida Sonoko felt somewhat ashamed of her own thoughts.

Her fair face felt slightly flushed.

The flush from drinking hadn't faded yet, so it wasn't very noticeable.

Looking at Machida Sonoko's shifty eyes, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly:

"do you like me.?"

"what!!!"

Machida Sonoko's eyes widened.

An expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"what did you just say?"

She wondered if she had misheard.

Lin Bai smiled slightly: "I said, Machida-nee, do you like me?"

"!!!"

After confirming that everything was correct, Machida Sonoko's wide blue eyes welled up with tears, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

I didn't expect Lin Bai to ask that.

What does "like" mean?

There are many kinds of liking.

At this moment, Lin Bai continued:

"Machida-nee, I like you."

"ha!!!"

His pupils seemed to bulge as if in an earthquake.

Machida Sonoko gasped in surprise and stood up abruptly.

His eyes were as wide as bells.

Lin Bai's direct approach and sudden confession caught her somewhat off guard.

She stood up and looked at Machida Sonoko.

Lin Bai smiled slightly and said again:

"So I want to know, Machida-nee, do you like me or not?"

"I want to hear the truth from you."

"I……"

Machida Sonoko felt a little flustered and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes darted around.

She dared not meet Lin Bai's gaze.

I've been confessed to before when I was in school.

She simply felt nothing for them.

But Lin Bai is different from them.

She had already vaguely realized that she had feelings for Lin Bai.

But Lin Bai is thirteen years younger than him.

The age gap is too large.

Ten years later, Lin Bai was twenty-six, while he himself was almost forty.

I can't hold Lin Bai back.

Besides, once she's old and faded, will Lin Bai still like her?

Thinking of this, Machida Sonoko took a deep breath to calm herself, met Lin Bai's gaze, smiled, and said:

"Xiaobai, I admit I have a little bit of a crush on you, but I don't have any intention of developing it in that direction."

"The age gap is too big."

“We are thirteen years apart. In ten years, you will only be twenty-five or twenty-six, while I will already be an old auntie who is almost forty.”

"I know that you are in your adolescence right now, and you are becoming more sensitive and emotional in this area."

"They might mistake a momentary emotional impulse for so-called love."

"But we're not a good match."

I still see you more as my adopted younger brother.

"Besides, you and Xiaoshi are a better match."

"I can tell that Xiaoshi actually has quite a bit of affection for you."

"Little White, did you understand?"

With her hands clenched into fists behind her back, Machida Sonoko spoke her mind, which was eight parts true and two parts false.

She had been trying to matchmake Lin Bai and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

It's also clear that they both have feelings for each other.

That's why she said that.
