Yoru Akatsuki spoke to Lin Yan.
"About that—if it's at your place, all you have to do is make a request, and the institute will deliver alcohol to your home. Look at how well you're treated. We don't get that."
"After all that, the most important thing is that you can drink using company funds."
So that was what he meant. A smile tugged at Lin Yan's lips. He was rather surprised by Yoru Akatsuki's childishness. It was one thing for Onoya An to fool around, but hadn't Yoru Akatsuki always treated work as his highest principle? He hadn't expected him to have such a childish side. It surprised him.
Come to think of it, even though Yoru Akatsuki had already been in society for several years, his personal experiences were still far too shallow compared to Lin Yan's.
"But!" Onoya thought for a moment, then puffed out her cheeks and said in a coquettish tone, "Mr. Lin Yan, what was with you today? You actually said that I was dating my senior!"
"Because I'm the one who gets messed with every time. Once in a while, I have to make you flustered too!"
"Even though I hate to admit it, I really did panic just like you wanted!"
"So, you really aren't dating?" Lin Yan asked. "I was thinking that maybe you two actually were together." Lin Yan was an expert too—an expert at acting, and especially skilled at playing dumb. From his gaze to his tone, everything was perfectly controlled, leaving no flaw to be found.
The moment he said that, the two of them instantly denied it in perfect unison.
"No."
With such perfect coordination, who would believe there was nothing special between them? Even they probably would not believe it themselves. They really were well matched.
