Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

"..."

Suddenly, the mouse and keyboard sounds of Rin Hoshimiya and Hoshiko Hayano stopped at the same time.

Two gazes, one cold and one warm, silently swept over.

I recommend a book: "Reborn, Who Still Wants to Be a Simp?"

Chapter 157, Section 155: Keep the good stuff within the family.

"Mmm! This popsicle is so cold!"

Yukimura Chizuru leaned back on the sofa, licking a long popsicle with her rosy tongue. She immediately squinted her eyes from the cold and let out a soft hiss.

"Chizuru-nee, give me a polar bear ice cream."

At that moment, An Zeliang's voice came from beside her.

"So Xiao Liang likes milk-flavored ice cream now. Just like a child, such a simple taste." Sister Qianhe said with a smile after taking a bite of her popsicle.

"Sister Chizuru, I'm still a high school student, after all. Drinking more milk is essential for my growth." An Zeliang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly added an explanation.

He wasn't the real An Zeliang after all; some of his preferences were different.

Just now at the apartment, Yukimura Chizuru said that she wanted him to go buy more groceries, but in reality, she didn't want her younger brother to do it all by himself, so she offered to come down and help.

Fuyuki Kaede said she wanted to go with her best friend, and Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin couldn't just wait at home, so the five of them eventually went downstairs as a group and went to the convenience store. After buying a lot of fresh vegetables and meat, they also picked up some iced drinks and ice cream.

When it came time to pay, Anze Liang, as the host, naturally took out his wallet. However, Chizuru insisted that as the older sister, her younger brother shouldn't have to pay for things when they went out to buy things. She stopped Anze Liang and prepared to pay herself.

Seeing this, Hayano Hoshiko also took out her wallet, saying something about taking care of the students, and started vying to pay as well.

Then, Hoshimiya Rin calmly walked past them, who were vying to pay the bill, and without any hesitation, took out her phone and used her payment code. With a beep, she ended the two women's fight over who would pay.

To this, Hoshimiya Rin only responded with a faint smile and a calm remark.

"Don't worry about it, just have fun."

She remained as wealthy and powerful as ever, decisive and efficient, fully displaying her rich woman nature.

After that, everyone naturally carried their things back to the apartment, put the vegetables and meat into the refrigerator, and then sat on the sofa in the living room, eating ice cream, enjoying the air conditioning, and chatting.

An Zeliang opened the Polar Bear ice cream in his hand. Although it's called ice cream, this one tastes more like shaved ice. The convenience store comes with a plastic spoon. After stirring it, the dried fruit, jelly, red beans and other toppings buried under the shaved ice are mixed into the shaved ice.

He scooped up a spoonful, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

The taste was quite similar to a combination of the small pudding and the old-fashioned popsicle that used to be sold in the Dragon Kingdom's convenience stores before I traveled there, with some fruit salad toppings added on top.

It's not particularly delicious, but I never get tired of eating it.

While eating ice cream, An Zeliang asked.

"Sister Chizuru, why do you suddenly want to stay overnight?"

"Hmm... The school hasn't been too busy lately, so I wanted to take this opportunity to spend some quality time with you."

With a smile in her eyes, Yukimura Chizuru looked at An Zeliang tenderly, and as she spoke, she reached out and affectionately patted An Zeliang's head.

“Xiao Liang, you are a high school student living alone outside. I can’t help but worry about whether you are taking good care of yourself.”

"And I saw it when I was putting things away earlier; there wasn't much food in your fridge. You probably either order takeout or eat convenience store food."

Right? "

"This habit is not good. So today, your sister will cook for you to nourish your stomach."

An Zeliang felt a warmth in his heart and responded with a smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Sister Chizuru. I recently watched some massage videos and learned a little massage technique. I'll give you a massage later."

"Massage? Xiao Liang, you know about that?"

"Know a little bit."

"Hmm, it seems that high school life has really made Xiao Liang grow up."

"... "

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the siblings, Hayano Hoshiko blinked, feeling a little envious.

Even though she's older than An Zeliang and is his elder, she's never been called "sister" in private; she's always addressed as "teacher," even though she's no longer at school...

If Anze were to obediently tilt his head back and call her "sister" like he does now...

Hayano Hoshiko's cheeks flushed slightly. She quickly took a big bite of ice cream, chilled herself, and still couldn't help but sigh.

"Chizuru-nee and Anze-kun have such a good relationship."

"After all, Xiaoliang and I grew up together," Yukimura Chizuru explained, then, as if remembering something, asked curiously.

"Speaking of which, I'll be starting my internship soon too. How's it going for you, Hayano-sensei, to teach during your internship?"

“Internship? Chizuru-nee, you misunderstand. I’ve been working for a long time and am an experienced teacher.” Hayano Hoshiko explained with a smile.

"I'm sorry, because Mr. Hayano is so young, I thought..." Yukimura Chizuru was a little surprised, but didn't feel anything was wrong, and changed the subject.

"Oh, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's wait until it cools down this afternoon and see what we can do."

"Chizuru-nee, I just checked the temperature, and it was still over 30 degrees Celsius at four in the afternoon." Hayano Hoshiko looked at her phone, and just looking at the temperature numbers made her heart pound.

"Over thirty degrees? Tokyo's melting..." Yukimura Chizuru immediately showed a frightened expression.

“I can book some entertainment venues with air conditioning and have a driver take us there, so we won’t have to get sunburned,” Hoshimiya Rin said calmly, taking out her phone to pay and book the venue.

"No need, Rin-chan!" Yukimura Chizuru quickly stopped Hoshimiya Rin. "You've already spent a lot today. If you keep going like this, I'll feel bad."

"It's alright, Chizuru-nee, I just hope you have fun." Hoshimiya Rin's response was simple, yet comforting.

Upon hearing this, An Zeliang couldn't help but glance at her again.

Rin Hoshimiya rarely suggests going somewhere for fun, but today, in front of Chizuru, she showed remarkable enthusiasm from time to time, sometimes silently insisting on paying the bill, and other times offering to book entertainment venues.

This posture... strangely resembles that of a newlywed wife trying to build a good relationship with her family...

But looking at Hoshimiya Rin's overly calm demeanor, Anze Ryo felt that the strange things he had just experienced were just his imagination.

Well... after all, although the president doesn't say it, he actually takes good care of the people around him.

At this moment, Hayano Hoshiko also spoke up.

"Sister Chizuru, since it's so hot, why don't you stay home and play some games instead?"

"Okay, little one."

"I'd like to experience this game again, since you've worked so hard on it." Yukimura Chizuru thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

“Then I’ll come along too.” Hoshimiya Rin immediately changed her mind.

"Where's Kaede?" Yukimura Chizuru asked, looking at Fuyutsuki Kaede.

"I'll finish my ice cream before I play. You guys go ahead, don't wait for me." Dongyue Feng smiled, looking very reserved.

However, her gaze lingered on Hayano Hoshiko, her eyes revealing not only admiration for the beauty but also a hint of undisguised meaning.

If I'm not mistaken... Hayano Hoshiko should be a bit older than Yukimura Chizuru, right?

However, Hayano Hoshiko kept calling her Chizuru-nee (older sister Chizuru), like a girlfriend politely addressing her husband's family member...

Dongyue Feng's eyebrows curved into a smile, feeling that both women hidden in Xiao Liang's family were rather interesting.

Eat the ice cream slowly, let her observe more.

At this moment, Yukimura Chizuru pulled Hayano Hoshiko and Hoshimiya Rin to sit down at the computer desk, then turned to Yasuzawa Ryo with a smile and said.

"Xiao Liang, why don't you come with us?"

"Didn't Ms. Hayano say she's really good at the game? She must have lost last game because she didn't have teammates. This time, we'll team up with three people and take on you alone. Hmph, Xiao Liang, don't let Ms. Hayano make you cry!"

"That's impressive? I'd better be prepared." An Zeliang smiled slightly and sat down in the chair.

"Uh..." Hayano Hoshiko blinked, and inexplicably felt a chill down her back, as if someone was watching her.

"I...I need to go to the restroom first. I ate too much ice cream earlier, and my stomach feels a bit cold."

Hayano Hoshiko said something, hurriedly went to the bedroom, took out a sanitary napkin from her bag, and then went into the bathroom.

"Ugh! I shouldn't have been so greedy and ate ice cream... My stomach hurts so much..."

Squatting on the toilet, Hayano Hoshiko clutched her lower abdomen, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

But thinking about starting to play games soon, she raised the corners of her lips and revealed a happy smile.

"Hehe, I finally have a chance to show off my skills to Sister Chizuru."

"Once we win the game, I'll say... um, I want to stay and play with Chizuru and the others. I think it's okay to say I'll tutor Anze!"

"When that time comes, Chizuru and the others will definitely think that I'm very dedicated and responsible towards Anze, and their feelings for me will skyrocket. Then we'll become best friends, and Anze and I will..."

Hayano Hoshiko's face flushed again, and she covered her face with her hands shyly, letting out a silly giggle.

"Oh well, they'll definitely agree to support me in the future... After all, I've always felt responsible for Anze!"

"But then... should Chizuru call me sister-in-law or Hoshiko-neechan...? I guess sister-in-law is the most important thing, age is secondary!"

With her mood improved, Hayano Hoshiko's stomach pain lessened. After quickly changing her sanitary napkin, she got up, washed her hands, and left the bathroom.

Inside the living room, Anze Liang had already set up the battle. Hayano Hoshiko confidently sat in her gaming chair, gripped the mouse, and her eyes gleamed with confidence.

"Sister Chizuru, this time, I'll take you to new heights!"

"... "

Snapped!

quickly

On Hayano Hoshiko's screen, the familiar black-and-white show began again.

However, Hayano-sensei's stubbornness prevented the atmosphere of the losing streak from becoming tense, and instead brought a lot of entertainment value.

The smiles didn't disappear; they simply moved from Hayano Hoshiko's face to Yukimura Chizuru and Yasuzawa Ryo's faces.

Hoshimiya Rin didn't smile; she simply said, "Good luck, Hayano-sensei. I'm not very good at this, so I'll head back to base first."

Midway through, Fuyutsuki Kaede also joined in.

Anze Liang didn't try too hard to win; he deliberately let the game drag on, ultimately handing Hayano Hoshiko and her team a victory.
