Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho's grip on his arm tightened.

Her other hand was wrapped around his waist.

"no……"

Shimada Shoko said, "VR games can be played like this?"

"Xiangjun, don't move, let me hug you for a moment."

He felt a warm sensation on his neck as Ayase Yuki spoke close to him.

Shimada Sho froze on the spot.

Yuki Ayase pressed herself against him, burying her face in his chest and tightening her arms around him, as if she wanted to use him as a anchor.

"Is it ready?" Shimada Sho asked after a while.

"...Wait a moment."

A few more seconds passed.

"Are you done?"

"……Um."

She released one hand and tentatively took a step forward.

The suspension bridge swayed again, and she let go with her other hand, leaving her completely hanging on Shimada Sho.

"Don't go."

"...Then go back?"

"No, I don't want to either." Her voice was muffled. "Xiangjun, take me there."

How should I bring it?

"And so, Xiangjun carried me away."

Shimada Sho looked at the big, bright-eyed little boy in front of him, "Are you sure?"

"Ah."

With a helpless sigh, he could only squat down and reach out as if to hug the person.

The VR device captures his movements, and in the game, he also crouched down.

The little figure in front of him immediately walked up to him and interacted with him.

But at the same time, Shimada Sho also felt a weight in his arms.

My arm touched soft skin.

"Xiangjun... pick me up."

A gentle voice came through the headphones.

"..." Shimada Sho reluctantly accepted her willfulness.

With a little effort, he supported her knees with one hand and lifted her up in his arms.

A soft touch came from his chest, and Ayase Yuki's arms naturally wrapped around his neck.

Then, she pressed her face against his shoulder.

The built-in noise cancellation in the VR device made the surroundings quiet.

Without the interference of sound, the sense of touch becomes exceptionally sensitive.

Even though he couldn't see outside, Shimada Sho could imagine what she looked like now.

Wearing VR glasses, the person was hanging on his body.

Not forgetting his original purpose, Shimada Sho adjusted for a moment, then moved his feet and carried her to the other side of the suspension bridge.

To simulate a real suspension bridge, the game incorporates as much physical movement as possible.

But it's not realistic enough; any slight movement will cause the suspension bridge to sway wildly.

But unlike before, Ayase Yuki was no longer afraid.

She simply stopped making any other movements.

After he picked me up, I became very quiet.

There was no sound, and no extra movement.

She lay quietly in his arms.

I didn't hear her voice again until I was almost halfway through the walk.

"Sho-kun, what do you think we look like right now?" Ayase Yuki asked him softly.

Unable to figure it out, Shimada Sho asked, "What does it look like?"

She answered with longing, "It's like when we get married, the husband carries his wife into the hall of marriage."

Shimada Sho almost threw her off.

"Stop watching that nonsense."

"I didn't watch it, it was in a TV series." Her voice was gentle. "Even if I thought about it, it's just that Xiangjun is so skilled at holding me."

"the first time."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Yuki Ayase remained silent for a moment.

Shimada Sho felt her face buried in the crook of his neck.

Then a joyful voice came through the earphones again, "So, am I the first girl to be hugged by Xiang-jun?"

Shimada Sho was speechless.

After crossing the suspension bridge, you'll find yourself in a wide-open meadow.

Under the virtual sunlight, the grass was covered with colorful wildflowers, and in the distance stood a small wooden house with several white pigeons perched on its roof.

"Xiangjun, put me down."

Shimada Sho crouched down, and Ayase Yuki slid out of his arms.

"This place is so beautiful, I wish I could live here."

Her voice came through the earphones.

Shimada Sho delivered a very realistic blow: "This is virtual."

“I know.” The little figure in the picture turned its head and looked at Shimada Sho. “But Sho-kun is here, isn’t he?”

Shimada Sho met her eyes and was momentarily speechless.

The VR experience lasts only fifteen minutes.

When the glasses are removed, the virtual world disappears, replaced by the noisy lights and sound effects of the arcade.

Shimada Sho looked up and saw Ayase Yuki standing to the side waving at him, "Welcome back, Sho-kun."

"Let's go when you're done playing." Shimada Sho put down the equipment and walked towards the cashier.

Yuki Ayase followed, and together they walked to the cashier.

"Hello, that's 1,500 yen in total." The cashier smiled and handed over the bill.

Shimada Sho asked in confusion, "Isn't it three thousand?"

He wanted to rush to pay and repay Ayase Yuki.

I even checked the price before coming in; it costs 1,500 yuan for a 15-minute session per person.

It costs 3,000 yen for two people, how can there be a discount?

"Oh, we don't charge if you only try it on without completing the full experience," the cashier explained patiently.

Shimada Sho was even more confused, "What do you mean by 'trying on'?"

"It's just that your girlfriend only tried it on briefly and didn't experience the whole thing, so..."

"Let's accept it for three thousand."

Before the cashier could finish speaking, Ayase Yuki handed over her card first.

At this point, Shimada Sho no longer cared about her actions.

All I could think about was that one sentence from the cashier.

He turned his head and glanced at the VR experience area over there.

The device he was using just now is now being used by an older man.

There was also a woman next to him, looking up at the screen above.

The screen was showing what the man saw through his glasses.

"So..." Shimada Sho looked at Ayase Yuki, "you weren't wearing your glasses while playing the game just now?"

Ayase Yuki seemed not to hear him, only smiling serenely as she took his arm. "Let's go, Sho-kun, let's go have lunch~"

Chapter 161 An Accidental Encounter with Sasaki

After the two left the mall, Shimada Sho was pulled to the other side of the street.

"Aren't we going to eat?"

Shimada Sho, carrying shopping bags in both hands, looked up at the library sign in front of him.

Yuki Ayase took his arm and explained softly, "My aunt has been very bored every day while she's in the hospital, so I wanted to buy her some books to keep her entertained."

This was a reason that Shimada Sho couldn't refuse.

The two walked out of the mall and along the street for about ten minutes until they arrived at the entrance of a large bookstore.

The bookstore has three floors. The first floor has bestsellers and magazines, the second floor has literature and social science books, and the third floor has professional books and teaching materials.

Yuki Ayase pulled Sho Shimada up to the second floor.

"Does Xiangjun have any favorite authors?" She walked among the bookshelves, her fingers brushing against the spines of the books.

"No."

"And what about your favorite books?"

No, not at all.

"Sho-kun is so boring." Ayase Yuki glared at him. "Don't you ever read books?"

"Look, the textbook."

"...I'm not talking about textbooks."

"Then that's all."

Yuki Ayase sighed, seemingly having completely given up hope on Sho Shimada's reading taste.

She carefully selected books from the bookshelf, choosing several currently popular best-selling novels and two collections of essays by renowned Chinese authors from the literature section.

Shimada Sho followed behind her aimlessly, his gaze sweeping across the bookshelves without any clear purpose.

At one point, Yuki Ayase stopped in her tracks.

She pulled a book from the top of the bookshelf; the cover had some Chinese characters printed on it.

Shimada Sho leaned over and took a look; it was a deluxe edition of the Tao Te Ching.

He was somewhat surprised. "Your aunt reads this kind of book?"

“No, it’s just that I prefer it,” Ayase Yuki explained without looking up as she checked the pages of the book.

After reading it, he looked up at Shimada Sho and held up the book, saying, "It's a book that introduces the sayings of ancient sages."

"Oh."

"Does Xiangjun know about this book?"

"do not know."
