Hayakawa pulled out the quilt and cushions one by one; it's so convenient to keep these things at home.

"..."

Yotsuba's voice faltered, her gaze wandering, unwilling to look at him. After a long while, she whispered, "Having someone next to me at least gives me a little sense of security, and that helps me fall asleep."

"Oh, I see."

Hayate was too lazy to argue with such an idiot, so he quickly found a few sets of bedding and helped Yotsuba spread them on the floor.

Before long, a thick quilt was laid out next to Hayakawa's bed to prevent Yotsuba from sleeping on the floor and feeling uncomfortable, which would cause her to be sore all over the next day.

"Is this okay? I've spread all my extra blankets on the floor."

Hayakawa looked around and nodded in satisfaction, then added, "Oh, and Yotsuba, make sure you cover yourself with an extra blanket when you sleep to avoid getting cold. The floor in this room isn't as warm as the bed."

"I'm fine, I'm in great physical condition."

Yotsuba didn't know what she was thinking when she said something. Finally, she looked at the soft light in the room and the soft bedding on the floor, and felt her uneasy heart calm down a bit.

Now, I should be able to sleep, right?

She glanced at Hayakawa beside her and then whispered, "Thank you."

"It's alright, is there anything else?"

Hayakawa nodded and asked another question.

"Nothing."

Yotsuba said softly.

"Then I'll turn off the lights."

Hayakawa said something, then turned off the switch, the room lights went out, and the world went dark again.

"Good night," Hayakawa said.

"OK, good night."

Yotsuba pulled the blanket down to her chin and whispered something.

……

Even breathing echoed in the quiet night. Yotsuba lay peacefully on the floor, covered tightly with the blanket. Although she was sleeping soundly and warmly, she still couldn't fall asleep. In fact, with the sound of Hayakawa's breathing next to her, Yotsuba's heart gradually quickened.

Ugh, why?! Why can't I fall asleep?!

I couldn't sleep in my room when I was alone, and now that someone's next to me, I still can't sleep. What should I do?

Yotsuba was getting a little frantic. What was driving her crazy wasn't just the insomnia—after all, the worst consequence was just staying up all night—but what was really troubling her was that she hadn't been able to calm down in the guest room because of unease and fear of the unfamiliar. But now, next to Hayakawa, it seemed that, just as he had said, she couldn't sleep because she was too excited!

My heart was pounding like a war drum! It felt like the commander was shouting "Charge! Charge! Charge!" and I couldn't stop.

What should I do...?

Yotsuba clutched her chest in despair, trying to suppress her heartbeat, but she couldn't.

Should we...?

Yotsuba silently looked at her hands, which were very strong due to regular exercise.

Did you strangle yourself until you passed out?

At that moment, the thought crossed her mind: So, is this really the time to put the results of my regular training to use...?

"Four-leaf clover..."

Hayakawa's voice suddenly rang out, sounding quite abrupt in the quiet room, carrying a hint of disdain.

"what?"

Yotsuba's heart nearly jumped out of her chest, and she stammered, "W-what's wrong?"

Hayakawa said expressionlessly, "Your heartbeat is too loud, like an alarm clock, keeping me awake."

"..."

Silently pulling the blanket over her head, the girl Yotsuba's eyes were empty.

I want to die... I'll die right now, and tomorrow I'll run myself to death on the playground...

Chapter 434 Sleeping Together

Yotsuba buried her head under the blanket, her entire face visibly burning hot.

If Hayakawa could hear my heartbeat so loudly, wouldn't he also know that I was very excited?

"No ..."

Yotsuba, having regained her ability to think, could only weakly say, "It wasn't my heartbeat, it was... it was me patting my stomach just now."

"..."

How desperate must you be to come up with such an absurd excuse?

"Yotsuba, you..."

Hayakawa remained silent for a long time before tentatively probing the tunnel, and Yotsuba closed her eyes in fright as soon as she heard Hayakawa's voice.

Are you too nervous?

Hayakawa asked with concern, while Yotsuba widened her eyes and asked in confusion, "Huh?"

"I understand you too,"

Hayakawa said gently, “It’s normal to be nervous on your first day at my house. Just relax and pretend I’m not here.”

"Yes, yes, I was just too nervous, haha, I didn't expect you to see through it so quickly."

Yotsuba was only stunned for a moment before she immediately acknowledged it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! Hayakawa thought her heart was racing because she was too nervous, and she didn't realize that she was a horny girl who was excited about sleeping in the same room as a boy.

"call…

Yotsuba breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she hadn't been discovered; otherwise, how would she face Hayakawa in the future?

However, Yotsuba finally realized a fact... that she probably wouldn't be able to fall asleep tonight.

"Ah."

Hayakawa responded and comforted her, "Go to sleep early, goodnight."

Not long after he finished speaking, his breathing became even again, completely unaffected.

Yotsuba felt a strange sense of dissatisfaction.

What? I can't sleep at all because of you, but you're sleeping so soundly. Doesn't that make me seem very wavering?

Okay, I am indeed very wavering, but under normal circumstances you shouldn't be as wavering as I am. I'm sleeping right next to you, a young girl with a beautiful, youthful body is sleeping next to you. You can see her if you turn over, and you can touch her if you get out of bed. Normally, would you be this calm? Definitely not.

So what was the point of your confession to me just now? Didn't you say you liked me? I never knew modern guys could be so indifferent to girls they liked.

Yotsuba's anger grew stronger and stronger, like a pot of boiling tea, constantly steaming.

At this moment, she finally realized a fact: she still wanted to get closer to Hayakawa, which was perfectly reasonable. It's normal for a girl to be excited and unable to control herself after being with a boy she likes. It's normal to want to kiss, hug, and lift him up.

Yotsuba was the same, but she tried hard to restrain herself because Nino was still in her heart, which made her feel like she was wearing shackles. Every time she took a step forward and wanted to ask for something, she felt a deep sense of guilt, which is why she hesitated.

She was afraid, yet she also longed to be close to him—that was the complex thought process of a young girl.

However, she can't take the initiative herself, but if Hayakawa insists on bullying her no matter what... then Yotsuba has no way to stop it.

In short, I definitely can't go in by myself; it would be too sinful and I'd be a little scared. But if Hayakawa pounces on me, I'll fight back desperately and fail.

Yotsuba harbored this subtle expectation, which is why she chose to sleep on the floor in Hayakawa's room, and her heart was pounding with excitement as she entered.

However, Hayakawa's indifference was a huge blow to her, leaving her disappointed and even causing her to doubt her own charm.

As expected, I'm still not as charming as my sisters... That makes sense. Hayakawa is a top student, so she must like girls with good grades. Although all five sisters have poor grades, I'm the worst student among the Nakano sisters, always at the bottom. Plus, she really hates sports and clubs, and I'm a member of the sports club.

He probably thinks he has absolutely no girlish charm...

Yotsuba's heart gradually cooled. Recalling her thoughts in the bathroom and afterward, she felt only shame.

So what were my earlier wariness and fantasies all about? Was it just wishful thinking?

"I should have had Hayakawa blow-dry my hair..."

Yotsuba pouted sadly, muttered something under her breath, and then closed her eyes.

My heart rate has slowed down; I can finally get some sleep.

Although I'm not happy at all.

"Four leaves."

Hayakawa said suddenly.

Yotsuba opened her eyes in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Wasn't he already asleep? How could he suddenly...?

Hayakawa turned from his supine position to his side, facing Yotsuba and gazing at her. In the moonlight streaming into the room, Yotsuba could see the outline of his face, blurry yet gentle.

"Do you want to sleep with me?"

Hayakawa said calmly.

"..."

Eh? !!

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Yotsuba was instantly shocked.

He was acting completely indifferent to me just a moment ago, but now he's suddenly inviting me to bed. This is such a sudden leap in development!

Could it be that…

Yotsuba frowned, a sudden idea flashing in her mind.

Has it started?

It's very possible.

But that's not the point right now. The point is how I should answer Hayakawa!

Calm down and follow the procedure you prepared beforehand. First, firmly refuse him, and then, unable to resist, force him into bed and suffer abuse!

Okay, let's do it.

"I...no...you, this..."

Yotsuba's entire face was flushed red. After stammering for a long time, she finally said, "Oh."

"..."

The rejection was really harsh; I didn't even expect it.

Yotsuba's mind went blank. At this moment, she realized once again the fact that she was a useless thing.

"Come on up."

Hayakawa said, and then there was a rustling sound. He moved aside half of the bed.

"Oh…"

Having already agreed, it was impossible to refuse again. So, with a blush on her face, Yotsuba took her pillow and blanket, carefully climbed up from the edge of the bed, and said weakly, "Sorry to bother you."

Yotsuba placed her pillow next to Hayakawa's pillow, blushed, and slowly lay down. Feeling Hayakawa's breath and warmth beside her, she felt a sudden heat in her chest. She quickly lay down, pulled the blanket over half her face, and stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, not daring to turn her head.

The room was completely silent except for the sound of breathing, and the atmosphere between the two seemed somewhat awkward.

"Your bed is quite big, haha."

Yotsuba wanted to find something to talk about to ease the tension, so she said something like,

"..."

Hayakawa remained silent, clearly having nothing to say in response.

"Well…"

Yotsuba wanted to bang her head on the ground. What kind of topic did she pick? This was just making things even more awkward!

Chapter 435 The Human Heart of Four-Leaf Clover

Yotsuba felt like she was going to faint from anger, gripping the blanket so tightly that she almost tore off the buttons.
