Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

Shimada Sho didn't respond.

He opened his textbook and pretended to look at the questions.

"Shimada-kun." Yukine Kamishiro's voice came from the side.

"what happened?"

“This question,” she pushed the Chinese book toward me, “I have a question about this word.”

Shimada Sho glanced down and said, "It's in vain."

It is a word's usage and a detailed explanation of its meaning.

He knew this word; he had encountered it during the exam last week, and even earlier, the young lady had taught him the same thing when she was tutoring him.

It was the young lady who taught him.

Now she's asking me for advice.

Shimada Shonao felt that she did it on purpose.

But he couldn't find any evidence.

"Shimada-kun?" Yukine Kamishiro looked at him with confusion when she saw his silence.

Beneath her long eyelashes, her eyes were filled with doubt, like a well-behaved student waiting for a teacher to answer her questions.

Shimada Sho was speechless, but he could only play along and say, "This is an orange from the famous work 'Tsurezuregusa,' and its meaning should be understood in conjunction with the opening lines..."

So it means boredom?

"It doesn't just refer to boredom; the entire context of the sentence is about writing naturally and aimlessly in a state of loneliness and boredom..."

After listening, Yukine Kamishiro nodded. "I understand."

She picked up a pen and made a mark in the book, then looked up at Shimada Sho.

"Shimada explained it very clearly."

"……Thanks."

"It's clearer than what the teacher explained."

Shimada Sho wants to say that what you said last week was much clearer than what I said.

But he knew the young lady was doing it on purpose, so he simply said, "It's alright, mainly because the 'teacher' taught well."

He emphasized the word "teacher".

The young lady heard this but seemed not to understand. She smiled, closed the book, and didn't say anything more.

Haruko watched the two interact from across the room, her eyes sparkling.

"Shimada-kun, Kamishiro-kun, you two are really close."

"So-so," Shimada Sho replied.

“That’s good,” Yukine Kamishiro said at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance.

Shimada Sho looked away and lowered his head to read.

Yukine Kamishiro also lowered her head, and the curve of her lips widened slightly.

"Oh, right, Shimada-kun." Kobayashi, who was standing next to him, remembered something and asked, "Did you watch Chizuru-chan's live stream over the weekend? Her new song was so good!"

"I didn't see it."

"How could you not watch!" Kobayashi exclaimed, looking heartbroken. "Chizuru-chan is our school's star! I heard she's transferring here today, and she might even be in our class!"

Chapter 172 Xiangjun's Taste~ Delicious!

"Really?" Haruko chimed in, "A popular idol like Chizuru-chan would probably be assigned to a separate class, right?"

"Not necessarily. I heard the school is going to be selective, and students with good grades will be grouped together. Chizuru-chan's grades should be pretty good, right?"

"Too……"

The two were having a lively discussion.

Shimada Sho flipped through his textbook, listening to their conversation, but his mind was elsewhere.

Tenkai Chizuru is coming.

Today is Monday, so it should be today.

She had previously said things like, "Once you step out of this door, you won't see her again."

Should I go and give this girl a surprise?

"Shimada-kun." Yukine Kamishiro's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Ok?"

"What are you thinking?"

"nothing."

"Your pen has stopped."

Shimada Sho looked down and saw that the pen in his hand was indeed stuck on the page, not moving for a long time.

He continued writing.

Yukine looked at him, her eyes no longer showing the awkwardness she had shown before.

She looked him up and down, as if she wanted to thoroughly examine Shimada Sho from head to toe.

Being stared at so directly, Shimada Sho felt somewhat at a loss.

He looked up and met the young lady's gaze.

Her gaze was calm and composed, with a faint smile in her eyes.

That familiar gaze, like looking at an old friend, made Shimada Sho swallow back the words he was about to say.

The young lady has completely stopped pretending now.

Last week she was still suspicious and tentative, cautiously searching for evidence.

But now it's not needed at all.

She has made up her mind.

The only thing missing is a ceremony that he himself has spoken about.

That look seemed to be urging Shimada Sho to speak up quickly.

He felt very helpless.

Is this young lady really not going to ask on her own initiative?

Are you just going to keep dragging this out indefinitely?

He glanced at her again.

In the morning sunlight, her cheeks glowed with a fair luster.

Her silver hair cascaded down her shoulders, so exquisitely beautiful it looked as if she had been sculpted from a comic book.

Meeting Shimada Sho's gaze, she calmly asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Shimada Sho looked away.

Yukine Kamishiro stared at his profile for a while, her smile widening.

……

The morning classes ended in this delicate atmosphere.

When the lunch break bell rang, Shimada Sho took out his lunchbox from under his desk and prepared to eat.

My phone vibrated.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from Yuki Ayase.

[Xiang is wings~: Xiang-kun, come to the activity room at noon, it's important~.]

Shimada Sho frowned as he looked at the message.

He didn't consider whether to go or not, he just typed a message asking:

[Conquer Tokyo Academy: What's Up?]

[Xiang is wings~: You'll know when you get here~/wink]

[Dominate Tokyo Academy: I won't go unless you tell me.]

Shimada Sho's reply was very straightforward.

Just kidding, that's the activity room, the place where his body suffered several times.

The culprit invited me directly; it's no wonder there's no real business to be discussed.

Who knows, that woman might be trying to do something bad under the guise of discussion.

[Xiang is wings~: Xiang-kun is so cruel/I feel wronged.]

[Dominating Tokyo Academy: Cold Sneer.jpg]

[Sho is Wings~: It's about the club. As a member, Sho-kun can't just not participate in club activities, right?]

Yuki Ayase quickly sent another message, with a very formal reason.

Before Shimada Sho could reply, she sent another message:

[Xiang is Wings~: Dad noticed Xiang's performance at the club exchange meeting. Recently, the board of directors decided to reorganize the club and wants Xiang to represent the school in this year's national college competition. Doesn't Xiang want to know the details?]

This news is quite long, and its contents are unexpected.

After reading it, Shimada Sho understood.

Student clubs are a vital part of university life, and their competitions serve as a window into showcasing the school's educational resources.

The "National College Sports Games," held every summer, is a grand competition that countless universities attach great importance to.

If Dongli High School wants to regain its status as a prestigious university, its clubs must first produce results.

It's not surprising that he would be noticed for easily defeating Kobayashi Takeshi, who considered himself the star of the karate club, at the exchange meeting.

Once the school made its decision, Ayase Yuki, as the daughter of a school board member, was naturally the first to receive the news.

This is a serious matter, so it's necessary to go and find out more about it.

With this in mind, Shimada Sho got up and prepared to go over.

"Is Shimada-san going out?" came Yukine Kamishiro's voice from behind.

"Yes, club activities."

"Yuki?"

“…Yes.” Shimada Sho did not deny it.

Yukine Kamishiro nodded, but didn't ask any further questions.

After leaving the classroom, he walked along the corridor toward the club building.

As you push open the door to the activity room, a delicious aroma of food wafts out.

Yuki Ayase sat at the coffee table, with two exquisite bento boxes in front of her.

"Xiangjun!" Her eyes lit up when she saw him enter, and she patted the spot next to her. "Come on, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing the bento box on the coffee table, Shimada Sho frowned. "You're lying to me?"

"Sho-kun's words are so hurtful~" Ayase Yuki said coquettishly, gently opening the food box. "I clearly got inside information and wanted to share it with Sho-kun."

"What's this?" Shimada Sho looked at the bento box on the table.

Yuki Ayase smiled broadly, "Of course we need to eat before we talk about anything, to replenish our energy!"

"I brought my own lunch."

"Then we can eat together."

She pushed the lunchbox to an empty space next to her; it was filled with exquisite dishes, clearly different from the fast food from convenience stores.
