Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

"I'm perfectly normal now," she said, her tone tinged with innocence. "It's just... my body is acting a little strange."

What's strange about it?

"I feel really uncomfortable, my whole body is burning up, and I really want to... Sir, call my name."

"……Then what?"

"Then I just wanted to hear the shop assistant's voice." Her voice trailed off. "Hearing the shop assistant's voice makes me feel a little better, but only a little, and it still makes me feel terrible..."

Shimada Sho asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Her condition has undoubtedly worsened compared to yesterday.

If things continue like this, he doesn't know if something bad will happen to him.

Just as they were asking, Tenkai Chizuru said, "Something's up."

"what's up?"

"If this continues, I feel like I'm going to die... I need to find a way to alleviate it."

"How can we alleviate this?" Shimada Sho was somewhat intrigued.

If we can help her recover, that would be wonderful.

Just then, a sweet voice came from inside: "If only we had some clothes that the shop assistant had just taken off..."

Shimada Sho's face immediately darkened.

"Just one is fine, a T-shirt is okay too, one that the shop assistant wore..."

As if afraid of being rejected, she quickly added another sentence.

"No!" Shimada Sho still firmly refused her.

Why?

Why do you think so?

"But I really feel so bad..." Her voice trembled with a sob, "Sir, I feel like I'm going to die..."

Shimada Sho closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"How about taking a photo?" Chizuru Amami changed her condition again. "Just have the shop assistant take a selfie and send it to me, is that alright?"

"...Weren't you looking at me the whole time?"

"That was just now, you can't see it now." Her voice was full of grievance. "Besides, I can keep the photo, and I can look at it when the shop assistant isn't around."

Shimada Sho remained silent.

He's not going to give me the clothes.

That's going too far.

But selfies...

"Just one." He compromised.

"Really?!" Tenkai Chizuru's voice instantly rose a few decibels.

"Ah."

"Then, sir, take the picture quickly!"

Shimada Sho took out his phone, opened the camera, and pressed the shutter button on himself.

In the photo, he is wearing that gray hoodie and looking at the camera with a blank expression.

"I've sent it to you."

"Received it! Received it!" Tenkai Chizuru's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Then the lounge fell silent.

Shimada Sho leaned against the door, listening to the rustling sounds inside.

This time, she didn't say anything.

About ten minutes later, a very soft sigh came from the lounge.

Then there were two knocks on the door from the inside.

"Shop assistant..."

Chizuru Amami's voice returned to normal, without the previous stickiness and panting.

"what happened?"

"Can...can I come out now?"

Are you back to normal?

"……Um."

Shimada Sho reached out and unfastened the clasp.

The door opened.

Chizuru Amami stood at the doorway, head down, hands clutching the hem of her hoodie, her ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

She didn't look up at Shimada Sho, but stared at her toes.

"Sir/Madam clerk..."

"look up."

She slowly raised her head and met Shimada Sho's gaze.

The blush on her face hadn't completely faded, her eyes were slightly red, and her lips were pressed tightly together.

But the fervor and madness in those eyes were gone, replaced by shyness and embarrassment.

Seeing Chizuru like this, Shimada Sho breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know what you just did?" he asked in a deep voice, regaining his composure.

With her head bowed, Tenkai Chizuru answered weakly, "I know..."

"It's good to know."

Shimada Sho didn't say anything more and turned to walk behind the cashier.

Chizuru Amami stood still, clutching the hem of her clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly followed.

She stood in front of the cashier, not daring to go in, and just looked at Shimada Sho through the counter.

"Shop assistant."

"Ah."

Are you... angry?

"No."

“Oh…” Tenkai Chizuru responded softly.

Half a day later, she muttered to herself, "The shop assistant must think I'm very embarrassing."

Shimada Sho put down the registration form in his hand and looked up at her.

"It's quite embarrassing."

"I...I..." Chizuru Amami shrugged awkwardly, her face turning even redder. She didn't know what to say for a long time, and then suddenly bowed deeply, "I'm sorry!"

She turned back into her original ostrich-like self.

Upon seeing this, Shimada Sho felt a rare sense of relief.

It can be said that it did not completely collapse.

Looking back now, these kinds of young idols are definitely cuter.

Thinking to himself, he smiled and said, "It's not your fault that you couldn't control yourself."

"Me...really?" Tenkai Chizuru looked at him uncertainly.

"Okay." Shimada Sho nodded. "Just don't do that again."

Perhaps worried that Chizuru Amami might act strangely again, his voice unconsciously softened as he spoke.

As the girl listened, her eyes slowly reddened.

"Okay." She nodded vigorously. "I'll listen to the shop assistant."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Shimada Sho finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This is more like her usual self.

She blushes, gets shy, lowers her head when he looks at her, and is obedient.

"Come here." Shimada Sho beckoned to her.

Tenkai Chizuru walked around the cashier and went to his side.

"Clothes," Shimada Sho pointed to the sweatshirt she was wearing, "Change out of it, I'll have the manager take it back."

Upon hearing this, Tenkai Chizuru took a few steps back. "No, I have no clothes to wear."

"Your clothes should be dry by now," Shimada Sho said, his attitude unchanged.

Chizuru Amami shook her head. "It's still wet. You'll catch a cold if you wear it!"

"..."

Seeing that she was determined not to return the clothes, Shimada Sho finally sighed helplessly.

"Whatever you want."

Chapter 168 The Poor Little Thing 2.0

Chizuru Amami hugged her shoulders tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

In the end, Shimada Sho had no choice but to give up.

Seeing that he was no longer insisting, Chizuru Amami immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sir!"

She happily opened her arms and was about to pounce on her.

Fortunately, Shimada Sho reacted quickly and reached out to touch her forehead.

"Don't come any closer."

Chizuru Amami maintained her forward-leaning posture, her forehead resting against Sho Shimada's palm, like a cat having its head held down by its owner.

"The shop assistant is so stingy," she complained, pouting.

Shimada Sho raised an eyebrow. "Have you forgotten what happened just now?"

"I haven't forgotten." She stood up straight, hands behind her back, and murmured, "The shop assistant told me not to do that, but he didn't say I couldn't get close."

"Getting close is also not allowed."

Why?

"What do you think?" Shimada Sho looked at her warily.

This girl is completely different now than before.

Even though she was still a little embarrassed because of what had just happened.

But after only a few words, he became bolder again.

Just now, I was about to pounce on him when my eyes darted around.

Shimada Sho had no doubt that she was still harboring ulterior motives.

"I promise I won't do it again."

As if sensing his concerns, Tenkai Chizuru spoke very seriously.

But Shimada Sho didn't believe it at all. "You've made plenty of promises before."

“This time it’s for real.” She took a small step forward. “You see, I just stood a little closer, I didn’t pounce on him.”

Looking at her bright eyes and her cheeks slightly flushed with excitement, Shimada Sho withdrew his hand.

As expected, Tenkai Chizuru did not pounce.
