"Okay, aren't I fine?"
Lin Yi reminded Kasaka Kano.
She pouted and stopped, then she said to Akemi:
"I'm sorry, just now… I made you laugh."
"It's okay," Akemi said with a smile, "It's indeed the fault of the hit-and-run driver… Kano, I didn't expect you to become so well-behaved since I last saw you."
"I've been working hard to make up for the lessons I've fallen behind in…"
Being praised by her closest sister, Kasaka Kano was extremely happy. She picked up the physics textbook that Lin Yi had brought and said, "Yi is helping me make it up… look, he plans to help me with physics next time."
When Kasaka Kano picked up the physics textbook, Lin Yi stared at Akemi's reaction.
"Is that so… you really are a good boyfriend. It's so good that Kano found a boyfriend like you."
Akemi's gaze did not linger on the physics textbook, obviously not realizing that the car accident was a carefully planned conspiracy by Lin Yi.
"Then… tell me, how did you two meet?"
Akemi, like a pretty older sister next door, curiously inquired about the things between the two of them from Kasaka Kano.
So Kasaka Kano told her how they met and how she fell in love with Lin Yi.
Kasaka Kano didn't say the specific amount of money, because if she did, Akemi might misunderstand that she took the initiative to get close to him in order to latch onto a rich man.
Of course, she also didn't mention that Lin Yi had two other girlfriends. How could family scandals be publicized?
In short, she said what should be said and glossed over what shouldn't be said.
Lin Yi listened secretly, thinking: Akemi has already completed her background check on me these days.
On the surface, I am just a commoner, so it is not too difficult to investigate.
Her gossiping behavior is very likely to be through Kasaka Kano's mouth to see if I am deliberately approaching her.
Very cautious.
Lin Yi put another label on Akemi.
Hearing that Kano took the initiative to find him, Akemi dispelled most of her suspicion of Lin Yi.
After Kasaka Kano finished speaking, Akemi nodded, then she looked at the front desk and said strangely, "Hmm? Why haven't the things we ordered come up yet?"
Having been together for so long, Kasaka Kano naturally understood that this meant that she was not suitable to hear what was going to happen next.
"I'll go ask, and buy something on the way," Kasaka Kano stood up from her seat and left.
Without anyone else, Akemi bowed and apologized, saying, "About just now… I'm sorry."
"It's okay… just don't do it again next time," Lin Yi replied lightly, generously forgiving her mistake.
Originally, Akemi had prepared a lot of questions to test Lin Yi, but this kind of thing happened.
This also made her embarrassed to ask him those questions again.
However, most of the assessment questions could be skipped, but the important ones still needed to be asked.
First, regarding the first question, Akemi directly stated it to Lin Yi, saying earnestly, "You should know that things that make money quickly… always involve risks."
"I know…" Lin Yi nodded: "I am willing to take the risk."
"This isn't an ordinary risk…" Akemi leaned forward slightly, lowering her voice and saying, "Once you fail, you could go to jail."
Returning to a normal sitting posture, Akemi said with a serious expression, "You better think carefully."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, captivated by Akemi's serious expression.
Like Kayo, she had a very gentle face, but she possessed a bit more determination and decisiveness than Kayo.
Determination and decisiveness only appear after experiencing hardship, and are rarely seen in ordinary people.
This made her temperament even more attractive.
Lin Yi said, "Still the same answer as before… I am willing to take the risk."
Akemi then asked: "Have you thought about what will happen to Kayo if you go to jail?"
This question surprised Lin Yi, as it wasn't among the questions he had prepared for.
Eats little, but meddles in many affairs…
"That's my business." Lin Yi could only reply stiffly.
"I watched Kayo grow up, and I consider her half my sister." Akemi persisted, continuing, "Of course, I can't stand idly by."
Lin Yi was silent for a moment. His forte was dealing with girls, and he quickly found an answer. He said in a deep voice: "Miss Akemi, have you ever been in love?"
Akemi was taken aback, caught off guard by Lin Yi's response.
"If you've ever experienced true love, you should know my answer."
Lin Yi looked out the window at a forty-five-degree angle, saying with "sincere affection": "When you meet someone you love, you will do your best to give them the best of everything."
When faced with this kind of question, especially when raised by a girl, using love as a shield works surprisingly well.
Women are inherently emotional creatures, easily moved by similar answers, and it never fails.
Of course, this is based on the premise that you are not too familiar with each other. If you grew up playing in the mud together since childhood, then forget this method.
You know each other too well.
Sure enough, Akemi didn't know how to refute this answer.
Having had similar experiences in love, she naturally deeply understood this feeling.
Since she had the same feelings, there was no need for her to continue questioning.
Akemi smiled and said, "It seems… I can't do what Kayo asked me to do."
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then he quickly reacted and said, "She asked you to deliberately make things difficult for me?"
No wonder there were questions beyond the scope.
"Yes." Akemi leaned back on the cushion, looking slightly relaxed, and said: "I can understand your feelings… so I respect your decision."
"However… some things still need to be confirmed." She asked: "Just now when you landed, you subconsciously used your hands to protect your head… It can be seen that you have had training before."
Lin Yi laughed self-deprecatingly: "Where is there any training… It's just that I've been beaten too many times, so I'm used to it."
After a pause, he added: "But over the years… I have been insisting on exercising and have taught myself close combat."
"I will test this later." Akemi didn't immediately believe Lin Yi's words.
"So… did I pass?" Lin Yi asked.
Akemi nodded and said, "For now… yes, but there will be more assessments later."
After a pause, Akemi decided to reveal some information to Lin Yi: "After all, what I want to do… is no different from robbing a bank."
What do you mean no different? It's basically robbing a bank, okay?
Lin Yi's expression changed, then slowly calmed down. After a moment of silence, he nodded.
