Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Her eyes revealed genuine concern.

Shimada Sho was a little unaccustomed to it.

The former Yuki Ayase was sharp-tongued and aloof, often calling him "Mr. Pervert" and trying every means to make things difficult for him.

Now that the exchange match is approaching, I'm worried he might get injured.

Shimada Sho pondered with mixed feelings.

Do you want to participate?

Chapter 136 Chizuru, you...

"Do you want to participate?"

Shimada Sho stood still, pondering the question seriously.

With his current physical condition, plus expert-level close-quarters grappling and joint locks.

Dealing with a nobody like Kobayashi Tsuyoshi is probably simpler than drinking water.

Beyond his own abilities, his primary consideration was helping Yuki Ayase.

Shimada Sho felt it was necessary to do something about the club she wanted to save.

The problem lies with Yukine Kamishiro.

Shimada Sho glanced at Class A behind him.

The young lady is now observing his every move like a detective.

From the moment I transferred to the class this morning, I've been testing the waters.

I wanted to find that 1% possibility from any flaw he revealed.

When he logged into the young lady's body as Mr. Thug before, Shimada Sho had already done something.

Regardless of fighting style, power generation method, or even some small habitual movements, Yukine Kamishiro witnessed it all firsthand from a first-person perspective.

Once he makes a move in the ring, with the young lady's keen observation skills, she will definitely recognize him at a glance.

At that point, the one percent uncertainty will instantly disappear to zero, and she will be completely convinced that she is Mr. Thug.

"Xiang Jun?"

Yuki Ayase's voice pulled Sho Shimada back to reality.

He looked up at the sound and found Yuki Ayase quietly waiting for his answer.

This is the woman who didn't hesitate to help when she was in trouble.

In order to help him investigate Owada Financial, he did not hesitate to use his family connections and asked the district prosecutor to take action.

Afterwards, she took care of him in the hospital for two days without taking off her clothes.

The overflowing emotions are both awe-inspiring and deeply moving.

This exchange competition is crucial to the survival of the literary seminar and human observation society.

Although Yuki Ayase said she could cancel at any time, Sho Shimada knew how important this club was to her.

It may be more than just a private activity room.

So, should we participate or not?

Shimada Sho thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Finally, they decided to postpone it, saying, "We'll see when the time comes."

"At that time?" Yuki Ayase tilted her head, clearly puzzled by the answer.

Shimada Sho added, "We'll see."

He didn't explain the situation.

In reality, I will participate, but I don't necessarily have to go all out.

We'll see if the young lady is there. If she is, we'll play it safe, just make a couple of casual moves and admit defeat.

If she's not around, then we should act quickly and decisively to eliminate the karate club.

Yuki Ayase stared at him for a while.

They didn't ask any further questions.

Compared to Shimada Sho's thoughtful and serious demeanor, she seemed to have just asked casually.

Soon, other things came to mind.

"Xiangjun, did you receive the photos I sent yesterday?" she asked a new question.

Shimada Sho was taken aback. "What photo?"

After asking the question, I remembered the message I received last night.

Yuki Ayase sent him a selfie and asked if it looked good. He replied with a "not bad" comment.

Realizing what had happened, he answered truthfully, "I saw it."

"How was it?" Yuki Ayase pressed on.

Shimada Sho didn't quite understand the meaning of her words, but thinking that she might be asking about the dress, he casually replied, "It's quite pretty."

“Is that so?” Ayase Yuki’s eyes lit up.

She suddenly shifted her feet, took a small step forward, and stood at an ambiguous distance.

Then, she leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "If you want to see more, Xiang-jun, you can too."

Shimada Sho didn't react for a moment.

What more could a dress possibly offer?

Yuki Ayase blinked, a sly smile appearing on her face: "Sho-kun thinks that photo is nice because of the clothes?"

"……if not?"

“Then let’s leave it at that.” Ayase Yuki took a step back, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and had a meaningful smile on her lips. “But if Sho-kun is interested, I can skip the clothes next time.”

Shimada Sho's pupils suddenly dilated.

He finally realized what she meant by "more".

“You…” He opened his mouth, wanting to rebuke Ayase Yuki with righteous indignation.

But the words stuck in my throat.

The previous ease vanished, replaced by a surge of heat rising from the base of my neck.

“Sho-kun is blushing.” Ayase Yuki’s eyes curved into crescents.

"No."

“Yes.” She stretched out her finger and gently poked Shimada Sho’s cheek. “Here.”

"..."

This woman is different from Tenkai Chizuru.

When Tenkai Chizuru posted those kinds of photos, she didn't dare to say anything extra.

Not to mention teasing yourself.

But Yuki Ayase was completely enjoying his predicament.

Shimada Sho took a step back to create some distance and changed the subject: "You were just talking about the exchange competition, what are the student council's rules?"

"That's a clumsy way to change the subject, Xiang-jun."

"Just tell me the articles of association."

Yuki Ayase stopped teasing him, her smile fading as she said seriously, "Friday afternoon at 2 pm, in the main gymnasium. Besides our club and the karate club, there are also the kendo club, judo club, and archery club. The school's intention is to use this exchange competition to showcase the results of the club reforms to the investors."

"Will someone come to Kamishiro's house?"

“No, it won’t,” Yuki Ayase replied confidently.

Upon hearing this, Shimada Sho breathed a sigh of relief.

"We'll talk about that when the time comes."

"Okay. If Xiangjun changes his mind and doesn't want to participate before this Friday, he can let me know at any time."

"it is good."

The two exchanged a few more words, and more and more students gradually appeared in the corridor.

Students from all classes have already come out.

Shimada Sho glanced at the time, then took his leave.

As he walked out of the school gate, he took a deep breath of the slightly cool air, feeling his mind was in a mess.

Yuki Ayase's "more," the young lady's probing, and the photos of Chizuru Amami that he selectively forgot—all these things are mixed together, making it a bit of a headache.

For the first time, Shimada Sho realized that having too many women around him could also be a problem.

"Let's go to work first."

He left the school gate, stepped onto the familiar road, and jogged towards the Imperial Garden.

……

The part-time job at the convenience store is as busy as ever.

The peak hours for customers are from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Shimada Sho is busy scanning QR codes, collecting money, giving change, and restocking all by himself behind the cashier.

Only after the peak period was over did he have time to sit down and drink some water.

After 8 o'clock, there will be far fewer customers.

At this point, there was no longer any need for him to continue guarding the place.

Upon opening the system, Shimada Sho prepared to log in to the young lady's account as before.

But then, my phone vibrated.

Upon picking it up, I saw the latest news about my idol, just as expected.

[He's an idol: Video/00:20]

A video that lasts for twenty seconds.

The cover was so dark that it was hard to see.

But having learned from yesterday's experience, Shimada Sho knew this was no ordinary selfie.

His finger hovered above the screen, and he hesitated for a long time before clicking it.

Like the cover, the video is also completely dark.

The scene appears to be in a park.

The lights were dim at night, and the streetlights in the distance cast dappled shadows through the leaves.

Chizuru Amami stood under a cherry blossom tree, wearing a long khaki trench coat.

The belt was tied loosely, and the neckline was open much wider than usual.

A breeze blew by, causing the girl's hair to flutter gently. She smiled at the camera and then slowly twirled around.

The hem of her trench coat fluttered gently as she turned, revealing two smooth calves.

Further up...

Shimada Sho held his breath.

She wasn't wearing anything under her trench coat; her fair skin was faintly visible as the coat swayed.

As she turned around, her neckline slipped slightly open, revealing a section of her collarbone and a small patch of fair skin below.

Her belt loosened slightly with her movements, and the skin beneath was faintly visible through the gap in her clothes.

At the end of the video, she stopped, turned around to face the camera, blushed, and her lips moved slightly, as if she were saying something.

But because the sound was too soft, it was impossible to hear clearly.

However, Shimada Sho had no interest in listening to what she was saying.
