Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

……

The next day.

Monday morning.

The rain stopped.

The sky was still overcast, but the air was exceptionally fresh, carrying the fragrance of damp earth after the rain.

Shimada Sho changed into his school uniform, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and headed out the door.

Instead of running, he chose to take the bus.

I didn't sleep well last night, and my head is still a bit foggy.

The bus swayed and rattled past several stops before finally stopping in front of Dongli High School.

Shimada Sho got out of the car and followed the students in twos and threes toward the school gate.

From afar, he saw the figure standing under the rain pavilion.

Dark blue school uniform suit, plaid skirt, black stockings.

Today, her long hair was braided into a loose side ponytail, hanging down her shoulder, which made her already delicate face look even softer.

A thin silver bracelet with a few small stars dangling from it appeared on her wrist, shimmering faintly in the morning light.

It's the one I bought at the mall yesterday.

Shimada Sho's gaze lingered on the bracelet for a moment.

Yuki Ayase had clearly already seen him.

Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Xiang-jun."

Shimada Sho walked over and stopped in front of her.

"I wasn't late today."

"……Good morning."

"Good morning." Her smile deepened, and she raised her wrist to wave in front of him. "Is the bracelet Xiangjun gave me pretty?"

Shimada Sho glanced at the star bracelet that shimmered in the morning light, his feelings a little complicated.

“You bought it with your own money,” Shimada Sho emphasized.

Yuki Ayase didn't seem to care at all. "The money that Sho-kun paid was a gift from Sho-kun."

Chapter 170 The Young Lady's Poke-Poke Fun

In the early morning, students walked into the campus in twos and threes.

Every now and then, one or two pairs of eyes would fall on Shimada Sho.

He glanced at Ayase Yuki, who was standing too close to him, and silently stepped back a little before changing the subject of the bracelet and saying, "Thank you for the Sasaki family's matter."

"What is it?" Yuki Ayase blinked, puzzled.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Shimada Sho smiled wryly and said, "I already know about the shop."

"What is Xiangjun saying? I don't understand."

"……Pack."

"I really don't understand." She tilted her head and asked, "Did Xiang-jun misunderstand something?"

Shimada Sho stared into her eyes for a long time.

Her eyes were clear and her expression was flawless.

If I hadn't heard Nozomi Sasaki talk about her family with my own ears, I might have thought I was mistaken.

But no one but Yuki Ayase will care about this matter.

So he still said, "Anyway, I've memorized it, it's okay if you don't understand."

If you don't want to admit it, then don't admit it.

You can accept the favor yourself.

"By the way, Xiang-jun."

As if struck by a sudden thought, Ayase Yuki asked, "How was your weekend?"

"good."

"Who did you go out with?"

"No," Shimada Sho answered quite frankly.

Although they experienced those unspeakable things at the convenience store, they also met Sasaki Nozomi on their way back.

But those don't fall under the category of going out together.

"That's a lie."

Yuki Ayase didn't believe it at all, and leaned forward suspiciously, saying, "Sho-kun clearly smells like a girl's perfume."

Shimada Sho lowered his head and sniffed his collar.

Nothing at all.

"Is there something wrong with your nose?"

"Xiangjun's nose is the one that's causing the problem."

She leaned closer, pressing her nose against his shoulder and sniffing lightly. "This scent... isn't mine."

Shimada Sho took a step back. "Why are you standing so close?"

"Smell the scent of Xiangjun's lies," she replied shrewdly.

Shimada Sho shook his head decisively, "That's not true, why would I lie to you?"

"Have."

"...No, really not."

"Then what is this?"

Yuki Ayase suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck.

Looking down, she saw a long, black hair in her palm.

She pointed to a long hair on Shimada Sho's collar.

Tenkai Chizuru.

She snuggled up to him when she threw herself into his arms yesterday.

"..."

As Yuki Ayase watched his frozen expression, her smile deepened.

"Xiang-jun, can you explain this?"

Shimada Sho reached out and plucked the hair out. "I don't know where it got from."

"Really?" Ayase Yuki's tone clearly showed disbelief.

But just as she was about to ask further, her gaze suddenly fixed on the direction behind Shimada Sho.

Seeing this, he also turned around to look.

Just then, the morning light peeked through the gaps in the clouds and shone on the slope at the school gate.

Students walked into the campus in groups, their footsteps and laughter blending together, presenting a scene of youthful vitality.

But this harmonious scene was abruptly shattered the next second by a black, extended sedan.

Immediately afterwards, the cheers and laughter turned into exclamations and discussions.

The car stopped, and a small black leather shoe stepped out first.

Then came two long, slender legs encased in stockings, hidden beneath the school uniform skirt.

As she moved, her long, silvery-white hair cascaded out from behind the car door.

The ends of her hair, gleaming with a cool sheen in the morning light, resembled threads formed from moonlight.

She stood up straight, her face expressionless, her amber eyes like a still pond in late autumn, calm and undisturbed.

But just standing there, it was like a ray of light shining into an ordinary morning.

In an instant, it became the most dazzling presence here.

This is the young lady, the famous heiress of the Kamishiro family, an unattainable figure in the eyes of countless classmates.

Several students who were walking into the school stopped and their eyes were involuntarily drawn to the scene.

Someone whispered, "It's that person from the Kamishiro family," their tone full of envy.

Shimada Shoya saw her.

The experiences of the past few days naturally came to mind.

When she suddenly changed, her own excessive inner turmoil, and the frustration that arose in her heart after discovering that she was acting.

And the almost explicit things I said after logging in the day before yesterday.

The young lady is waiting for him to confess.

Shimada Shoya changed her mind; if she really wanted to know, she should ask him herself.

Incidentally, he also logged in once after returning to his residence yesterday.

The young lady was sitting at her desk reading when he entered her consciousness; she didn't say a word the entire time.

In the past, she wouldn't speak, so Shimada Sho would speak on his own.

But after what happened before, she didn't speak, so he simply stopped talking too.

The two of them spent half a day in silence like that.

As the login time was about to expire, she finally said, "Mr. Thug has been very quiet today."

Shimada Sho was in a terrible predicament, and indicated that she hadn't said anything.

The young lady replied, "I'm waiting for Mr. Thug to speak first."

Shimada Sho almost lost his composure.

She is waiting.

We're not just waiting for him to speak first when he logs in.

He was waiting too, waiting for her to take the initiative to ask him.

So he simply replied, "You can ask first."

After just those two brief exchanges, Shimada Sho abruptly logged off.

The progress of the character development hasn't changed much. The only change is that the original "sulking" tag has changed to "stalemate".

That's really apt.

Thinking of this, Shimada Sho couldn't help but smile.

After getting off the bus, Yukine Kamishiro's gaze swept across the school gate.

Her gaze lingered on Ayase Yuki for a moment, then shifted to the side... meeting Shimada Sho's eyes.

At the school gate, Shimada Sho, who met her calm gaze, was somewhat surprised.

He assumed that, based on the previous situation, the young lady would continue to maintain that aloof and distant demeanor, putting on an act for him.

Just like last week, he spoke in a distant tone but was polite in his manner.

I treated him completely like an ordinary classmate.

He didn't expect her to say anything, and to avoid embarrassment, he planned to just leave.

who knew...

Yukine Kamishiro took a few steps and walked towards this side at a leisurely pace.

Her bodyguard, Kiryu Ichiyo, followed quietly behind her.
