Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Although she only said one or two words from beginning to end.

But this response immediately energized Kobayashi.

I repeatedly assured you that I would definitely bring out my strongest capabilities.

Then, that person's smile became even brighter.

Kobayashi had no idea why this young lady would be interested in their match against Shimada Sho.

But from her interested expression, he knew what he had to do.

He was going to teach that brat who dared to disrespect his seniors a lesson at the exchange conference!

……

When Shimada Sho entered the stadium, it was already bustling with activity.

The stands were packed with students, flags from various clubs fluttered in the breeze, and cheers rose and fell.

The center of the venue was divided into several areas, and competitions between different clubs were held simultaneously in different areas.

The most eye-catching thing is the fighting ring in the very center, where members of the kendo club are already warming up.

Shimada Sho glanced around the room, his gaze settling on the preparation area to the side.

The preparation area for the literary seminar and the Human Observation Society was arranged in a corner.

There was only one table and two chairs, with a signboard displaying the club's name on one side.

Compared to the luxurious facilities that occupy large areas of other clubs, it was pitifully shabby.

But Shimada Sho didn't care about any of that.

His gaze was fixed on the slender figure in the preparation area.

Yuki Ayase has arrived.

She changed into a tracksuit, a white T-shirt with black athletic pants, and tied her long hair into a high ponytail, revealing her fair neck.

He was leaning against the wall, holding a bottle of water, and resting with his eyes closed.

Hearing footsteps, she opened her eyes and greeted Shimada Sho with a gentle smile, "Sho-kun."

"Hmm." Shimada Sho walked over and stood next to her.

"Are you nervous?" she asked, tilting her head.

"I'm not nervous."

"That's good."

Yuki Ayase handed me the bottle of water. "Have some water. Warm up before you go on stage, so you don't strain yourself."

Shimada Sho reached out and took it.

He reached for the bottle cap to drink, but with a little force, he found that the cap was already open.

"..."

“I haven’t had it.” Yuki Ayase noticed his hesitation and explained calmly.

Shimada Sho sighed, "I won't drink it for now."

He also remembered the system's notification that it had detected traces of drinking in the memories he received.

Aside from drugging him directly but not actually doing anything with him, he wouldn't be surprised if she did anything under these circumstances.

Seeing Shimada Sho put down the water, a flash of disappointment crossed Ayase Yuki's eyes.

But she quickly put on a smile and said softly, "Go for it, Xiangjun."

Chapter 148 Xiangjun cares a lot about Xueyin

As teachers and students arrived one after another, the atmosphere inside the gymnasium gradually became lively.

Shimada Sho looked around.

The room was filled with the sounds of lively conversation.

Members moved back and forth within the activity areas of each club, preparing for the upcoming exchange meeting.

On the distant stage, two members of the Kendo Club, already wearing masks, were warming up with bamboo swords in hand.

Behind them, in the stands, many students from all grades came over.

It's clear that the school attaches great importance to this exchange competition, which was originally initiated by the student council to liven up the atmosphere of the clubs.

They not only fully supported the event, but also specially planned activity areas for each student organization.

I heard that there will be special rewards for outstanding clubs.

They managed to turn a small-scale exchange meeting into a cultural festival.

"Shimada-kun! Good luck!"

On one side of the stands, Kenta Takada and Yosuke Murakami had already taken up advantageous positions, their light sticks standing out prominently in the crowd.

Several boys, also wearing the same anime-themed shirts, were sitting next to them. They appeared to be other members of the fan club and were discussing something amongst themselves.

Shimada Sho waved to them in response.

"Sho-kun is really popular." Ayase Yuki, who was sitting in a chair, turned around, glanced at the stands behind her, and said with a smile.

Shimada Sho replied dismissively, "I'm just here to watch the fun."

His gaze was still sweeping across the stands.

Hoshino Yuuki was nowhere to be found.

They must have gone back.

Thinking this, Shimada Sho withdrew his gaze and planned to close his eyes to rest.

But then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the entrance of the stadium.

Looking up, I saw the students making way for me.

A group of burly men in black suits rushed in.

After they stood on either side of the passage, an elderly man with gray hair and a serious face walked in.

Shimada Sho recognized the other person at a glance.

He was the head butler of the Kamishiro family, known as Kira.

Today he was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, his steps were steady, and he exuded a powerful aura.

His appearance was completely different from that of the old servant he used to be at the young lady's house.

Behind the butler Kira, there was another figure.

With her long, silver-white hair and slender figure, she entered surrounded by several other bodyguards.

Half a step behind her, Kiryu Ichiyo, dressed in a black and white maid outfit, followed closely.

Her gaze was sharp, her face expressionless, and her eyes were filled with vigilance as she observed her surroundings.

Several school leaders were also accompanying this group.

When I see them at school, they always walk with their noses up.

At this moment, their attitudes completely reversed, and they became more and more attentive than the other.

The young lady and her butler, surrounded by several school leaders, walked to their seats in the audience, closest to the center of the arena.

Seeing these people, Shimada Sho was somewhat surprised.

"Didn't you say the Kamishiro family wouldn't be coming?" He turned to look at Ayase Yuki.

The other person replied naturally, "I meant 'should'."

"You're nitpicking again."

"That's a fact," Ayase Yuki said without changing her expression. "Besides, Yukine is a student at our school now. Isn't it normal for her to participate in the club exchange conference?"

Shimada Sho was exasperated and too lazy to argue with her anymore.

This woman always speaks a mix of truth and falsehood; there's no point in delving into it.

"Whatever."

He made a casual remark, then looked back at the stands.

Kira led Yukine Kamishiro to the podium on the other side of the stadium.

Several middle-aged men in suits were already seated there; they were likely officials from the school board and the district education commission.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Kamishiro family, the people all stood up, their attitudes becoming increasingly eager.

Yukine Kamishiro nodded slightly in acknowledgment and sat down in a seat on one side of the stage.

She displayed the poise expected of a noblewoman, placing her hands folded on her knees, her long silver hair cascading over her shoulders.

After sitting down, her gaze slowly swept across the stadium.

From the karate club area to the kendo club area, and then to the brass band area, girls were tuning their instruments.

For a moment, her shifting gaze paused.

But it only lasted a moment before it drifted away.

Below, Shimada Sho, who had inadvertently made eye contact with the young lady, felt as if she was looking at him.

"What is Xiangjun looking at?"

Ayase Yuki's voice suddenly came from beside my ear.

Shimada Sho snapped out of his daze and realized that she had somehow ended up standing next to him, following his gaze toward the podium.

"It's nothing, I'll warm up first." Shimada Sho looked away and rolled up his sleeves to do some stretching.

Yuki Ayase didn't press him further. Seeing his actions, she considerately went to get a towel from the side.

At that moment, the stadium quieted down.

A board leader stepped forward from the podium and personally announced the start of the meeting.

Immediately, students from all grades began to move.

The exchange meeting did not stipulate any competitive activities.

It's more about providing a stage for club members to showcase their talents.

Therefore, the activity area for students watching is not limited.

They are free to move around and go to clubs that interest them.

The school also arranges some exchange and discussion activities, but not all of them.

After the event began, the lively atmosphere returned.

In the ring area, two members of the Kendo club, wearing protective gear, clashed with each other, demonstrating the beauty of Kendo to their classmates.

On the other side, the archery club is demonstrating their archery skills.

Ten girls dressed in archery uniforms stood in neat rows, drawing their bows and releasing arrows.

The arrow shot through the air and hit the bullseye precisely, drawing cheers from the crowd.

The Light Music Club set up a makeshift stage at the edge of the venue, and a lively rock song brought the atmosphere to a climax.

The female lead singers had clear and powerful voices, and many students in the audience clapped along to the rhythm.

The art club set up a small art exhibition at the entrance, showcasing oil paintings and watercolors created by its members recently.

The themes varied, including campus scenery and portraits, attracting many students to stop and watch.

Shimada Sho's gaze swept over the lively scene, and he felt a sense of emotion.

In the past, Dongli High School rarely held club exchange meetings, let alone normal club activities.

The Kamishiro Zaibatsu has only recently invested in the campus, and it's already brimming with energy.

It's nice to have money.

"Shimada-kun!"

Kenta Takada and Yosuke Murakami ran down from the stands and immediately went to the Human Observation Society's area.
