Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 60 It's just work

"Ding-ding-dong!"

Ryuichi Sugawara, who was originally in a good mood because of the unboxing and lottery, became numb and even fell into panic after seeing the message sent by Yamabuki Tsuki.

This message was so overwhelming, like catching your boyfriend in the act and confronting him.

What’s even more terrifying is that this message was sent at 18:21, and it’s already :.

It feels like being so engrossed in the fun that you don't notice the messages from your girlfriend.

How should I respond to this kind of question? It feels like no matter how I respond, I'll be dead.

Lying and saying no is definitely not an option.

After all, the fact that Yamabuki Tsuki asked this question means that she already knew the answer and asked the question with the answer in mind.

As for admitting it, that is even worse, it is simply courting death.

Suddenly, he had an illusion that what he was holding was not a mobile phone, but a time bomb.

"No...why should I be afraid? She's not my girlfriend."

Just when he was at his wit's end and didn't know how to respond, Sugawara Ryuichi suddenly calmed down.

A normal man would definitely be scared when faced with this situation. After all, after doing something wrong, it would be too terrifying to face the questioning of his legal girlfriend.

But the problem is that Yamabuki Tsuki is not his real girlfriend.

He and Yamabukizuki had an ordinary teacher-student relationship, but by some coincidence, they had a date that was just for fun.

If you have to say it, there is nothing special about their relationship, at most there is a little ambiguity.

For example, during a date that happens by chance, hold hands, hug, and kiss each other on the face.

"Yes, what do I have to be afraid of?"

Thinking of this, Sugawara Ryuichi suddenly felt infinite confidence in his heart.

Yamabuki Tsuki already knew that he was a boyfriend for rent.

Isn't it normal for him to date other girls?

"Correct."

Sugawara Ryuichi, who had regained his confidence, saw the message sent by Yamabuki Tsuki again. His fingers finally became nimble and he typed a righteous reply.

A man with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. A true man needs no explanation and is brave enough to admit everything!
Although he thought so, when he was about to click to send the message, his thumb stopped before it fell.

Suddenly, the scene of Yamabuki Tsuki wearing black stockings and high heels appeared in front of his eyes.

Although he and Yamabuki Tsuki really had no real relationship, after the lease ended, they met again and didn't even say a word to each other. At most, they had eye contact, and that was very brief.

Considering that women dress up to please themselves, it is impossible to say that he doesn't care about Shan Chuiyue's feelings at all.

Sugawara Ryuichi clicked on the dialog box, and the mobile phone input method keyboard popped up. He deleted the short reply and edited a message again. After reading it over and over again to make sure it was correct, he sent it out.

Stars: "To be exact, I didn't go out with her, but she paid for me to go to karaoke with her and her friends."

This information is very reliable. It not only clearly explains the specific situation, but also expresses the logic behind his behavior.

Rather than saying "yes" with confidence, it would be better for him to explain, at least it wouldn't be so hurtful.

Maybe Yamabukizuki had been waiting for his reply, and he soon got it.

Yueliang: "They paid for you to go to karaoke... So, you weren't just hanging out with them? You were actually working?"

Seeing her response showing that she fully understood the situation, Sugawara Ryuichi felt relieved.

That's right, he wasn't hanging out with girls, he was going to work.

"Yes, because yesterday after school, she wanted to invite me to karaoke but I refused, so this happened." After adding further details, Sugawara Ryuichi felt that the situation was getting better.

It turns out that harmony between people still depends on communication. Refusing to explain will only make things more complicated, or even evolve to an irreversible point.

And Yamabuki-sensei is quite understanding, like an adult, isn't she? She didn't show up and asked you to explain, but she didn't listen after you explained.

Moon: "How did Kotori know that you can rent it?"

After seeing this message, Sugawara Ryuichi, who was originally feeling comfortable, suddenly felt something was wrong.

How did Yuki Takanashi know that he could be rented... Of course, that was the result of his face-to-face promotion.

If he doesn't promote his products in person, the probability that a fellow student will find him as a rental boyfriend on Twitter while surfing the Internet is actually very low.

What's more, the photo he posted on Twitter was a side view of him wearing a mask, and his true face was not revealed. Even if someone who knew him saw it, they might not be able to recognize him at a glance.

He actually had many considerations for the decision to take a selfie with a mask on.

On the one hand, wearing a mask can significantly enhance your appearance, maintain a sense of mystery, and arouse others' curiosity.

On the one hand, he was not sure whether he was suitable for the boyfriend rental industry at the time, and he just wanted to give it a try, so he wore a mask.

After all, he doesn't know whether he can continue doing this for a long time. If he reveals his true face right away, what's the difference between this and going all in?
After thinking carefully, Sugawara Ryuichi answered her question.

Stars: "I told her."

Lies are lies after all, and there will always be a day when they will be exposed.

Instead of forcing a lie, it is better to put the problem on the table and deal with it.

moon:"???"

Stars: "After I rejected her yesterday, she didn't just give up, but secretly followed me."

Moon: "Could it be that you were also a rental boyfriend yesterday?"

Qunxing: "I'm just a newcomer, how could I have so many orders? I was just shopping alone at the time and didn't do anything strange."

Moon: "And then?"

Stars: "When I found out she was following me, I was really shocked. I even gave her and her friends a lesson. Luckily I didn't have any orders yesterday. If they had followed me at work, wouldn't that have been terrible?"

Moon: "Yes, if they find out that you're secretly being a rental boyfriend, they might use it to threaten you."

Qunxing: "Actually, even if they found out, they couldn't threaten me... I was worried that if they followed me on a date with you and found out, the consequences would be disastrous."

At this point in the conversation, there was a brief pause.

Through the mobile phone conversation, Sugawara Ryuichi couldn't see Yamabukizuki's expression, but if he guessed correctly, it should be good.

Moon: "What happened next?"

Qunxing: "I discovered that they were following me, so they had to leave... But Xiao Niaoyou didn't leave. Instead, she played a word game with me and waited for me at the station... Just because I didn't let her follow me, it didn't mean she couldn't wait for me."

Moon: "Isn't this just playing rogue?"

"Anyway, because of our chance encounter on Saturday, she really wanted to go to karaoke with me. I simply told her that if she wanted me to go karaoke with her, she would have to pay. She hesitated for a whole night, but today she finally made up her mind to pay for me to go."

After sending this message, the huge rock hanging in Sugawara Ryuichi's heart fell down.

Although it took a lot of brain cells to figure it out, overall, the matter should have been explained clearly.

At this moment, Yamabukizuki sent another message:

"So did you do anything during your rental date with her?"

Although this time it was also a problem, it was different from before. The tone of her words this time revealed a feeling of embarrassment, and there was also a clear sourness, as if a jar of vinegar was overturned.
