Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 3 The appearance of an old friend
What's going on? What's going on? What's going on?
Yamabukizuki heard him talking to himself and was still in a daze.

In order to understand the situation, she looked up and down at her rental boyfriend.

Because the stars were wearing masks, she couldn't see their full appearance... Although that was true, her eyebrows and hair were clearly visible.

He is tall and stylishly dressed. He has dark hair but fair skin, thick and neat eyebrows, deep eye contours, and a pair of bright black eyes that are piercing and lively.

"Sugawara? Sugawara Ryuichi?"

Although it was casual clothes instead of a student uniform, the more Yamabuki Tsuki looked at it, the more familiar it looked, until a name popped up in his mind.

In response to her question, Sugawara Ryuichi did not say anything, but pulled the rope on his ear with one hand and took off the mask on his face.

It is impossible for him to wear the mask on his face all the time. He will have to take it off sooner or later. After all, the purpose of today's date is to attend a class reunion, so he must eat.

[Yamabukizuki feels his heart pounding, heart value +2]

Just after he took off his mask, Ryuichi Sugawara suddenly noticed a hint popping up at the corner of his eye.

At the same time, when Yamabukizuki saw his true appearance, he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

This must be a lie. The boyfriend she randomly found on Twitter turned out to be her student. How could this be such a coincidence?!

No, this result may not be a coincidence.

Ever since she heard about the hot topic among students about renting girlfriends and renting boyfriends on Tuesday, she has been browsing the dedicated boyfriend rental apps and related websites these days, trying to find someone to pretend to be her boyfriend to attend the class reunion, but she has never been able to make up her mind.

Although the rental boyfriends on the dedicated APP are all professional and have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there are all kinds of types, after she carefully selected someone who roughly met the requirements, every time she progressed to the private chat consultation stage, she felt that it was not going well.

She had been unable to make a decision for several days, but last night she saw the messages from celebrities recruiting customers on the #TokyoRentABoyfriend# topic on Twitter, and she made up her mind in a very short time.

Because as soon as she saw the profile pictures of the stars, she felt that they were particularly handsome. Whether it was their looks, temperament, hair color, eyes, or even the feeling they gave people, they all made her feel comfortable. They were completely different from those rental boyfriends on the dedicated APP who looked frivolous.

This feeling did not change until they progressed to private consultation and decided to have a face-to-face interview.

Now that she thinks about it, the reason why she made up her mind so quickly was entirely because the profile picture of Qunxing resembled an old friend, that is, the shadow of Ryuichi Sugawara.

Because he reads English completely differently from other students, without a Japanese accent, and his voice is particularly nice. He is also very serious in class and has excellent grades. He is her favorite student.

My life is over... My favorite student discovered that his teacher is a pathetic adult who even has to rent a boyfriend to pretend to be her boyfriend to attend the class reunion.

After a brainstorming session, Shan Chuiyue felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

"What do you mean? Should we continue this date?"

Ryuichi Sugawara took off his mask and found that her phone had been down for a long time and there was no response. He was obviously shocked and had to take the initiative to speak.

Although it was a pity that their date ended right after they met, he had already gained 3 points of excitement, which was equivalent to yen. Even if he took an afternoon off to keep the date, he would not suffer any loss at all. It would be better to say that he made a profit.

"what?"

Because his attitude was very normal, Shanbukizuki was a little surprised when he came to his senses.

"You're my teacher, so wouldn't it be terrible if I pretended to be your boyfriend and accompanied you to the class reunion? After all, if people found out we were teacher-student, your life would be ruined."

Sugawara Ryuichi noticed that she still didn't understand the situation because there were people around her, so he bent down and came in front of her, gently helping her to sort out the situation. To avoid her misunderstanding, he came in from the side, not face to face.

Suddenly seeing him move his face closer, even though it was from the side, the close distance still made Shanbukizuki feel very nervous.
[Yamabukizuki feels his heartbeat quicken, heart rate +1]

Seeing this prompt, Sugawara Ryuichi withdrew his head in surprise and couldn't help but glance at Teacher Yamabuki who lowered his head.

He didn't understand, was it that the system's criteria for judging heartbeats were too simple, or was it that Mr. Yamabuki was easily moved?
In just a short while, he had already earned 4 points of excitement, which was yen. The job of renting a boyfriend was perfect for him.

"you're right."

As the distance between them widened, Yamabukizuki, whose mind was in a mess, tried his best to understand the situation and agreed with his judgment.

Although teacher-student love is not illegal, it is an unquestionable taboo and an immoral act that is not recognized by people.

If she and Ryuichi Sugawara were to have a teacher-student relationship, at best her teaching career would be over, and at worst she would become socially dead.

"You said last night that we have two hours to prepare in advance, which means there are still two hours before the class reunion starts, right? You should still have time to find a boyfriend for rent on the app and pretend to be your boyfriend. That's it, I'm going home first."

After helping her sort out her thoughts and situation, and helping her think of remedial measures, Ryuichi Sugawara, who had tasted the sweetness, planned to go home and think of a way to find a second customer.

The job of renting a boyfriend is perfect for him. Not only can he earn money from customers, but he can also earn heart points from the system. It’s a win-win situation!
Because Yamabuki Tsuki was facing away from Shibuya Station, Sugawara Ryuichi also passed by her.

"We agreed to stay for six hours, but it ended like this. Won't you blame me?"

Just as they passed by each other, Yamabukizuki, whose mind was in a mess, suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm.

"No, I understand your difficulties, and I don't like to embarrass others."

Sugawara Ryuichi turned around and looked at her, not caring at all.

The two people had just met but the date was about to end. If it were any other rental boyfriend, he might feel stood up or unhappy about being exposed, but he had no such worries at all.

First of all, he knew that he was not doomed to failure, and secondly, he had already made a lot of money.

"oh oh."

Realizing that he had no intention of blaming or complaining, but was rather considerate, the tension in Yamabukizuki's heart dissipated.

"Bye-Bye."

Having cleared her worries and concerns, Sugawara Ryuichi used a little force to free his arm from hers, waved goodbye to her, and continued walking.

However, before he could take a few steps, his arm was grabbed again.

"what happened again?"

Sugawara Ryuichi, who had finished speaking after being pulled back one after another, looked back.

"Just pretending to be a boyfriend once shouldn't count as a teacher-student relationship, right?"

Yamabukizuki grabbed his arms with both hands, met his gaze, paused, and chose her words before speaking.
