Upon hearing the rumors, he was immediately filled with confusion. Then, looking at Yihua's face, he asked with some puzzlement, "Didn't you sleep well last night? Why do you look so pale today? You even have dark circles under your eyes."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Ichika paused, then subconsciously touched her face.
Her complexion was indeed very bad. Not only was her expression ashen, but her overall demeanor was also tired and listless. There was a subtle gray tinge around the skin around her once bright and beautiful eyes, clearly indicating that she hadn't had enough sleep.
"No...it's nothing...I just had a bit of insomnia last night. I didn't sleep very well. I'm a light sleeper and it was a hotel, so I didn't sleep well."
Ichika avoided Hayakawa's gaze, not daring to meet his eyes, but in reality, her heart was filled with anger.
Who do you think I didn't sleep well last night? You kissed me last night and stole my first kiss, then you just went straight to sleep. Don't you ever think about how I'm supposed to sleep?
As a result, my heart was pounding for half the night, and I didn't carefully get up and go back to my bed until the first light of dawn. I then slept for a while in a daze, probably less than four hours. How could I possibly look well in that condition? I was lucky I didn't faint.
"I see."
Hayakawa thought of Yotsuba's cold body from the previous night and suddenly realized what was going on.
Their blankets were so cold that they would probably wake up from the cold countless times in the middle of the night, so it was only natural that Ichika couldn't sleep well.
But it's different with Yotsuba. Yotsuba is sleeping on her warm bed, being held by me, so she definitely won't feel cold at all and will sleep soundly.
So, under Hayakawa's expectant gaze, Yotsuba, having finished washing up, came out of the bathroom and immediately came over when she saw Hayakawa awake.
"Hayakawa-san!"
Yotsuba's eyes lit up when she saw Hayakawa, and she jumped right next to him. She noticed that the girl was full of energy, with bright, sparkling eyes and a round, apple-like face brimming with vitality. She was so cute that she seemed to be glowing. She seemed to be full of energy from head to toe, and it looked like she had recovered to her best condition.
Compared to the exhausted Ichika next to her, the former looked like a vibrant young girl on holiday, while the latter looked like a corporate slave who had worked overtime all night. The contrast was striking.
"Ah ha ha ha ha ha!"
When Hayakawa saw this, just as he had expected, he couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
"Hahahahaha!"
Yotsuba didn't understand why, but she naturally put her hands on her hips and laughed along with Hayakawa. When Hayakawa was happy, she would be happy with him.
Amidst their laughter, Ichika, standing nearby, looked at them with a resentful expression.
Okay, okay, you all slept well, but I'm the only one who didn't get enough sleep.
As long as I am injured, the world is born.
...I弍笼Ar氵亻尔林器玐
After washing up, the three of them sat on the edge of the bed and discussed what to do for breakfast.
How about ordering takeout?
Hayakawa, the most heartless of the three, was the first to offer advice.
"Absolutely not!"
Yotsuba pointed outside with a worried expression; "Someone could die..."
Looking out the window following her hand, you can see a brick floating erratically in the sky, seemingly weightless and flying freely. If someone were walking down the street, they would probably be "lulled" to sleep by all sorts of flying objects in no time.
"How about adding more money?"
Hayakawa hesitated for a long time, but still used the capitalist's favorite tactic: using money to deceive ordinary people.
Although he usually hates using money to subdue others, he has no other choice now; without more money, he won't have anything to eat.
"That's true,"
Yihua, looking exhausted and leaning against the headboard, couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, clutching her stomach and chuckling, "As long as the extra money is enough, there will definitely be delivery drivers willing to wear armor and come out to deliver food."
"No, no, no, no!"
Yotsuba shook her head vigorously, resolutely rejecting this route. She couldn't bear to see anyone put in danger just because they wanted to eat.
"……OK then."
Seeing Yotsuba's resolute refusal, Hayakawa and Ichika had no choice but to give up.
"Well, there's no other way. Although I don't want to take action, it seems I have no choice but to now."
After pondering for a long time, Yihua decisively stood up and said in a clear voice, "I'll make breakfast!"
This room has a kitchen, but it's not in this room. It's at the far end of the other side of this floor. The hotel owner who used to stay in this room was a cooking enthusiast who liked to cook, so he set up a kitchen in the corner of this floor and equipped it with a refrigerator. The refrigerator also had some common household ingredients, such as meat, vegetables, and eggs, as well as a variety of seasonings and spices.
When they went up last night, the receptionist told them about it and hinted that the ingredients inside could be used, and that she would secretly replenish them after the rain stopped.
It seems that adding money does work.
……
"I'll cook!"
"..."
"..."
Who's going to cook for you? You? You can't even keep your own room tidy! It looks like a storage room when you walk in. If you can't even take care of yourself, you shouldn't be in the kitchen!
"Forget it."
Hayakawa showed her no mercy and said bluntly, "If you're going to make us breakfast, I'd rather go hungry."
"What...what did you say? That's incredibly rude!"
Upon hearing this, Ichika's face flushed red, and she clenched her fists. She felt that her reputation had been damaged. Who said that someone who couldn't tidy up a room couldn't cook?
Although she had never even touched a kitchen knife, she had watched a lot of cooking videos online. She often watched these kinds of videos while eating. After so much time, she had watched at least several thousand videos. She could be considered a culinary master, right?
Ichika even felt that her cooking skills were no worse than Nino's, so why shouldn't she be allowed to cook?
"Let me tell you, don't underestimate them..."
With her hands on her hips, Ichika confidently explained her reasons to Hayakawa and Yotsuba.
Both of them were speechless. This guy was a typical example of the modern-day Zhao Tian, a master of theory and practice. If he could become a culinary master just by watching others cook, wouldn't he also improve his grades by observing Hayakawa doing his homework every day?
"..."
Hayakawa and Yotsuba didn't quite believe Ichika's words, but since she spoke with such confidence, they couldn't help but wonder if she was really that talented.
That definitely won't work.
Just as Hayakawa was about to try anything, cooking with Ichika as a last resort, there was a knock at the door.
"dong dong dong"
……
Suddenly, a knocking sound came from the door. Hayakawa didn't react much, but subconsciously looked towards the door. However, the two women inside the room reacted very differently. Yotsuba and Hayakawa had no change in expression, at most they were a little confused.
However, Ichika reacted strongly, her body trembled, her expression changed erratically, her face turned slightly pale, and she quietly hid behind Hayakawa.
"Hello?"
Hayakawa sighed, his face expressionless, and said, "Are you really that timid?"
“So annoying…”
Upon hearing this, Ichika's face immediately turned red. She lowered her head, grabbed Hayakawa's clothes with one hand, gently poked his waist, hid behind him, unwilling to peek out, and then whispered, "Go and open the door quickly."
Hayakawa glanced at Ichika and then at Yotsuba, noticing the stark difference in their expressions, and was immediately puzzled.
How strange.
Last night, Yotsuba was so scared by a nightmare that she hid under her blanket, but when she heard a knock on the door this morning, she didn't react at all?
On the other hand, Ichika might have been scared when she heard a sound in the stairwell last night, but it was just a little noise, yet she was still terrified the next morning.
Can twin sisters really have such a huge difference in courage? They're like night and day.
"Um…"
Hayakawa frowned slightly, sensing something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
However, the important thing right now wasn't thinking, but that someone was knocking on the door. So he stepped forward and stood at the door, but didn't open it directly. He asked warily, "Who is it?"
After what "Four Leaves" said last night, he is now on edge, fearing that something like "opening the door and killing" might happen.
"I am the customer, the service is downstairs."
Last night, the receptionist's voice came from outside the door.
Hayakawa breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. The receptionist came in, placed a basket on the table in the room, and opened it to reveal several layers of plates filled with various kinds of breakfast.
"Guests, I've brought you breakfast."
After the receptionist entered the room, she visibly relaxed and her voice became a little louder.
"Ah, that's it."
Hayakawa immediately understood.
No wonder she was acting so suspiciously. The hotel doesn't usually offer breakfast, but because she had paid extra last night, she felt bad and made some breakfast for herself.
However, if other guests notice when she brings breakfast over, they will definitely ask her to make another one, which will cause trouble. She won't make it for less money, and she will have a conflict with the guests if she asks for more money. Moreover, some guests will be greedy and refuse to pay, claiming that it is a hotel service.
If you directly refuse to do it, you might get a complaint, and if it gets to the boss, you'll be in big trouble.
That's why she came over cautiously, and lowered her voice after knocking on the door.
"I see."
After Hayakawa understood, he said gratefully, "Thank you, we will finish eating as soon as possible."
The conversation between smart people is simple and effective. The receptionist smiled slightly and said, "You can eat. Just put your plates aside when you're done. I'll come up and pick them up around noon. I guess you won't be able to leave anytime soon with this weather outside."
After saying that, she left.
"This older sister is such a kind person."
As the little angel Yotsuba watched the person's departing figure, a look of deep emotion appeared on her face. She clasped her hands to her chest and prayed, "There are definitely more good people in this world."
"That's not right."
Ichika, who was standing next to her, said rather oblivious to the atmosphere, "This is just because Hayakawa paid more money, and she's returning the favor."
"Humph"
Yotsuba glared at Ichika with annoyance and rolled her eyes at her.
Chapter 473 The Ghost's Necklace
"You're so annoying, Ichika."
Yotsuba pouted at Ichika, expressing her dissatisfaction.
"Haha," Ichika couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yotsuba's angry little face. She reached out and ruffled Yotsuba's hair. "Sorry, sorry."
"Don't touch my head like that," Yotsuba said angrily, slapping Ichika's hand away. Then, puffing out her cheeks, she said, "You'll stunt your growth!"
“Girls don’t grow any taller at this age, and don’t forget we’re five sisters,” Ichika said with a smile, poking Yotsuba’s cheek. “Everything is divided into five equal parts, including height. If you don’t grow taller, neither will we. If we grow taller, you will too, so it doesn’t matter whether I touch your head or not.”
"..."
Yotsuba didn't say anything this time, but crossed her arms and turned her head away, which was a way of acknowledging Ichika's words.
Wow, that's amazing! Does that mean all five of you are exactly the same height? That's incredible! Are you clones? Or is it some kind of special connection between quintuplets?
Hayakawa stood to the side, lost in thought with a blank expression, when suddenly, as if realizing something, he got up and headed towards the door.
"where are you going?"
Ichika was still bickering with Yotsuba, but as soon as she saw Hayakawa about to leave the room, her attention immediately shifted to her.
"I have something to ask the front desk."
Hayakawa said casually.
He had originally planned to go downstairs to ask at some time today, but this person happened to come up to bring him breakfast, so he might as well ask while he was at it.
"Oh, that's how it is."
Ichika thought for a moment and immediately understood, saying, "Then you should go quickly."
"Um…"
Hayakawa responded, but his expression was somewhat subtle.
Strange, why isn't she at all curious about why I asked her in the past? It's as if she already knew.
