Tokyo: Simulation Begins with the Big Sister Next Door

Tamamo Yuki's eyes sparkled with anticipation as she handed the clothes to Anze Ryo.

"Tamamo-san, you don't need to buy me anything." Anze Liang smiled and took out a few pieces of women's clothing that he had just picked out. "I'm already very happy that Tamamo-san invited me out to play today. If anyone should buy a gift, it should be me buying it for you."

"No need, no need! I'm already happy that Anze is willing to come out and play with me. I don't need any gifts..." Tamamo Yuki's cheeks flushed slightly as she shook her head shyly.

"Isn't it normal for friends to exchange gifts? Tamamo-san, please accept this. Otherwise, wouldn't my good intentions be wasted?" Anze Liang shoved the clothes into Tamamo Sachi's hands, not giving her a chance to refuse, and urged, "Go change and let me see you."

"Well... alright then..." Tamamo Yuki took the clothes and quickly walked into the changing room, her smile suddenly becoming bright and cheerful.

Anze is so nice to me... Is this what it feels like to have a friend?

Tamamo Yuki happily held the clothes and slowly changed. Since she hadn't paid yet, the price tags were still on the clothes, and Tamamo Yuki glanced at them subconsciously.

Eight, eight thousand yen?

Tamamo Yuki's eyes widened, and she froze.

so expensive!

It looks almost the same price as clothes from a 100-dollar store... how can it be so much more expensive?

Tamamo Yuki became even more careful as she dressed.

This was a gift from Anze, so I absolutely mustn't get it dirty or damaged...

At the same time, Anze Liang also carried the clothes that Tamamo Yuki had chosen for him and went into another changing room.

Having spent so much time with Tamamo Yuki, he knew her well. If he didn't take the initiative to change into the new clothes now, Tamamo Yuki would probably take them home, take good care of them every day, and only wear them on some important day.

However, once he puts on new clothes and says some sweet words, Tamamo Yuki will obediently put on her clothes and come out.

An Zeliang closed the door to the changing room and quickly changed his shirt.

The clothing tag was hanging on the back of his neck, which was digging into his neck and making him feel uncomfortable. An Zeliang grabbed the collar, took the tag, and threw it outside the clothes.

After changing, he came out of the changing room.

“Anze, classmate.”

Tamamo Yuki obediently waited outside, clutching her old clothes. Seeing Anze Liang emerge, she took a few steps forward, somewhat awkwardly mimicking the other women.

The boy turned around and asked with a smile.

"Is it...is it alright?"

An Zeliang mostly picked out dresses for her. The one Yuzao Xing was wearing now was a blue and white short-sleeved dress. The blue satin was tied at the waist with a bow at an angle, and the skirt hem naturally fell to her knees, revealing a pair of slender and smooth legs.

The simple colors and design complement Tamamo Yuki's cute and well-behaved face, with a slightly shy expression, making her innocent and pure temperament even more obvious.

"It looks great," An Zeliang praised sincerely.

"Really?" Tamamo Yuki's expression was one of surprise and delight. She adjusted the position of her silk sash with some awkwardness, her movements very careful. "I also think Anze-kun has excellent taste..."

Eight thousand yen is a bit too expensive.

Tamamo Yuki thought to herself, and then cautiously began to speak.

“Anze, I usually have a lot of clothes to wear. I only need this one. I don’t need anything else, really.”

“No way.” An Zeliang refused decisively. “I already paid for it. Tamamo-san has to wear it. She can’t just go home and leave it unworn… Besides, I’m wearing the clothes you sold me, aren’t I?”

"Does Tamamo-san not want to wear the clothes I bought?"

"No, no!" Tamamo Yuki's eyes widened, and she shook her head frantically. "I, I want all the clothes that Anze bought for me, I won't return a single one!"

"Let's go, let's pay the bill." An Zeliang smiled, picked up Tamamo Yuki's clothes, and walked to the cashier.

"Huh? Huh?" Tamamo Yuki looked at Anze Ryo with a somewhat blank expression. "Anze-kun, didn't you already pay the bill?"

"Yes, I had the staff remove the tags from the clothes." An Zeliang said seriously, and also took the clothes that Tamamo Yuki had bought for him to pay for at the same time.

"Tamamo-san, please go outside and wait for me for a moment."

As Anze Liang spoke, he casually ripped off the price tag from the clothes Tamamo Yuki was wearing.

"Hmm..." Tamamo Yuki looked at An Zeliang with a confused expression, nodding her head as if she understood, but didn't pay attention to these things, and obediently walked out.

After paying the bill, An Zeliang took the packaged clothes and tore up the receipt. Otherwise, if Tamamo Yuki saw it, she would definitely realize what was happening and try to put the money back.

As he tore the bill, An Zeliang's gaze also swept over it.

18,000 yen, 21,000 yen...

This price range is basically the highest price range for budget chain clothing stores, and the menswear selected by Tamamo Sachiko is all priced within this range.

The clothes that Tamamo Sachi bought were the best in this store.

An Zeliang felt a slight warmth in his heart, and his eyes softened unconsciously.

An Zeliang tore up the receipt, picked up his clothes, and walked out.

"Anze-kun!" Tamamo Yuki greeted him with a big smile, pointing to a food stall by the roadside. "That looks delicious! Let's go check it out. Order whatever you want, it's on you!"

“Okay, sure.” Anze Liang smiled and walked over with Tamamo Yuki.

The two of them continued shopping.

Time passed little by little.

The number of people on the shopping street gradually decreased, and some stalls closed down.

An hour and a half later.

public

Downstairs in the apartment building.

A luxury car slowly pulled up on the street, the door opened, and Hoshimiya Rin calmly stepped out.

As her gaze slowly swept across the street, Hoshimiya Rin's eyes paused slightly.

Hayano Hoshiko's car was also parked downstairs at the apartment building.

After taking a deep look at the car, Hoshimiya Rin pursed her lips, quickened her pace, took the elevator to the sixth floor, and walked skillfully toward Anze Ryo's apartment.

But after a few steps, Hoshimiya Rin's footsteps returned to normal, unhurried and calm, as she walked to the apartment door.

"Hayano-sensei," Hoshimiya Rin greeted him casually.

"Hoshimiya-san, what a coincidence." Standing in front of the apartment door, Hayano Hoshiko turned around with a bright smile on her face and casually put her phone away.

Hoshimiya Rin looked at Hayano Hoshiko without any change in expression, her lips slightly parted, "Hayano-sensei, I heard that you're going to be transferred soon. According to statistics, there's an 87% chance that long-distance relationships will end in a breakup."

"Ms. Hayano, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Is that so?" Hayano Hoshiko remained unmoved, tossing her head back and straightening her back, her tone brimming with confidence.

"Don't forget, Xinggong, your teacher is a grown-up with a car. I can come see Xiaoliang every day after get off work. How can this be considered a long-distance relationship?"

"The longer you persist in a relationship, the deeper it becomes."

"Hoshimiya-kun, are you very afraid of losing to the teacher? You've even brought out the data."

"Hehehe, feelings are something you can't measure with numbers!"

Looking at Hayano Hoshiko expressionlessly, Hoshimiya Rin continued speaking in a calm tone.

"Then why is Mr. Hayano still standing at the door?"

“Uh… this…” Hayano Hoshiko paused, her gaze drifting away.

Hoshimiya Rin didn't give her a chance to argue back, and continued to attack mercilessly.

"If deep feelings can make anything possible, how come Mr. Hayano doesn't have an apartment key?"

"... "

Unable to refute, Hayano Hoshiko slyly rolled her eyes before decisively changing the subject.

"So what if I don't have a key? I'm just respecting Xiaoliang's privacy."

"But you, Hoshimiya-kun... yesterday you insisted that the maid stop me from going home with Ryo, and Ryo got really angry!"

"I was so angry that I took the day off and didn't go to school!"

"Hmph... I really want to compete fairly with Hoshimiya-kun, but now it seems... it's hard to say whether Ryo will even give you the chance to compete!"

Hayano Hoshiko's tone was very smug.

Hoshimiya Rin pursed her lips slightly and frowned.

An Zeliang suddenly took leave today... that's a fact.

After a few seconds of silence, Hoshimiya Rin parted her lips slightly, intending to continue speaking.

"arrive."

Just then, the elevator doors at the end of the corridor slowly opened, and An Zeliang's voice came out.

Hayano Hoshiko immediately perked up and was about to walk over with a big smile on her face. Hoshimiya Rin also calmly turned around and silently cast her gaze over.

But the next second, Hayano Hoshiko stopped in her tracks, and Hoshimiya Rin also gazed wistfully at the end of the corridor.

As the elevator doors opened...

Yasuzawa Ryo and Tamamo Yuki came out together.

"It's okay. Your home is too far from the school, and it's not safe for you to go back so late... Why don't you stay at my place tonight?"

An Zeliang said with a smile.

"Um... thank you, Anze."

Tamamo Yuki nodded shyly, following closely beside Anze Ryo. She looked cute and well-behaved, holding a half-eaten box of takoyaki in her hand.

An Zeliang was carrying some snacks and several bags of clothes.

Hayano Hoshiko paused for a moment, then called out instinctively.

"Xiao Liang?"

Upon hearing the sound, An Zeliang shifted his gaze from Tamamo Yuki, glanced at the apartment entrance, and was slightly taken aback.

Even more surprising was Tamamo Yuki.

"President? Hayano-sensei??"
