Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

His outfit is casual and decent, making him look like the kind of handsome guy who could be in a magazine. He would definitely look more handsome if he took off his glasses.

Unlike his low-key appearance in school, he is indeed a well-dressed rich young man in private, the kind who can really move in and out of high society with ease.

...In comparison, I'm just a high school girl who buys the same discounted clothes as my sister, and even uses the same large bottles of skincare products purchased by the school...

My sister hopes to get close to him, but she really thinks too highly of her country girl sister.

Should I go back quickly...Ms. Shinjima was already feeling a little uneasy.

"—You are Shujin's student council president, Shin Niijima-senpai, right?"

"ah?!"

When his identity was suddenly revealed, Shinjima Makoto jumped in fright like a cat seeing a cucumber.

The girl who greeted her from behind laughed:

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just spotted a pretty girl in this dull art exhibition and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Then I realized she was someone I knew."

"Ah... Miss Akechi Tamako? You're here too."

Shinjima was quite surprised and called out the name of the politician's daughter.

Tamako Akechi, daughter of Tokyo council member Masayoshi Shido.

Because she is also a celebrity who often appears on TV.

Moreover, her experience of recognizing her father, the congressman, and becoming his legal daughter from an illegitimate daughter was quite legendary, and Shinjima knew a little about it.

Although the two were not familiar with each other, they had met briefly in the past.

A year ago, Akechi Tamako was planning to transfer to a high school in Tokyo, and Shujin Gakuen was one of her alternative choices.

At that time, Shinjima had just become the student council president, so he took her on a tour of the school.

The two of them only knew each other's names, and Niijima didn't expect that she still remembered him.

This young lady looks like a sweet little princess. Under the blazer and pleated skirt are a pair of slender legs in stockings, which is in stark contrast to Niijima's conservative dress.

Her lovely looks and attitude also match this cute outfit:

"I really like art, so I came here to play with that Madarame-sensei's student. I didn't expect that you, Niijima-senpai, also know Luo Zhenjun... Is that your relationship?"

With an innocent expression comparable to An and Subaru's, Akechi Tamako blinked her big eyes and made a gesture.

She made a hollow circle with the index finger and thumb of one hand, inserted the index finger of the other hand into it, and stroked it in and out.

...Ms. Shinjima was a little stunned, blinking in confusion.

"Um... He and I are just seniors and juniors. This time, it was because... oh, yes, my sister happened to give me an extra ticket, so I invited him, who is also a member of the student council, to come along. Yeah!"

This wasn't really a lie, Miss Shinjima Makoto had convinced herself skillfully.

Seeing that her prank didn't work and that the innocent student council president couldn't even understand the gesture, Akechi Tamako pouted in annoyance.

But it’s okay this way, she smiled even more adorably:

"As expected, he's a close friend of Ann and Subaru-san. He's also quite good at school... Well, I'll go say hello to them first. See you later, Niijima-san~"

"Well, see you later..."

Shinjima Makoto waved his hands awkwardly and watched the sweet and popular young lady join Luo Zhen's circle.

As expected, they all knew each other.

This further deepened Shinjima's sense of inferiority, making her sigh in silence.

-------------------------------------

the other side.

Luo Zhen was not surprised to see Akechi Tamako greet An and Subaru warmly as soon as she came in.

The last time I ran into her at the subway station entrance, she was traveling with that Kitagawa Yusuke.

I don't know what their personal relationship is though.

But one is the daughter of a politician, and the other is the apprentice of a painter...and Shido Masayoshi and Madarame are already related, so it is not surprising that they have a connection.

Luo Zhen had no intention of getting deeply involved with this young lady who pretended to be even more obedient than An and Subaru, so he just maintained a neutral attitude to deal with her.

And the real protagonist only appeared at this time.

"——Lord Luo, you're here!"

Madarame Ichiryusai entered the art museum with a group of media. The disciples who followed him immediately had their eyes lit up and rushed over in surprise when they saw Luo Zhen.

This tall and thin man, who is about the same height as Luo Zhen, does have a feminine beauty that can be called a handsome man, and he is very impressive.

Kitagawa Yusuke, this is a rare name that Luo Zhen remembers because he thinks it is profitable.

He smiled cooperatively:

"Hello, Kitagawa-kun. Thank you for the tickets you gave me last time. This time I came with my senior and junior students from the same school."

Luo Zhen brought Shinjima Makoto, who had been keeping his distance, into the game and introduced her and the Yoshizawa sisters to Kitagawa.

Here, Luo Zhen actually used Shinjima Shin as a shield to avoid showing his desire to get close to Kitagawa too obviously.

Kitagawa greeted several girls and just glanced at them briefly.

His attention seemed to be fixed solely on Luo Zhen from beginning to end, and he immediately discarded these unnecessary social etiquettes:

"Master Luo, let me be your guide and introduce you to the works. This exhibition features my teacher's masterpieces, representing the highest achievements of contemporary Japanese art. I'm sure there'll be something you'll love!"

"And if you can appreciate the beauty of this art, I'd like to continue asking you to let me paint a portrait of you! This will definitely be the most successful work in my 14-year art apprenticeship. I already have a feeling it!"

"Haha... Kitagawa-kun, calm down first. My girls are all scared by you."

Luo Zhen maintained a polite smile and kept two steps away from the fanatical man who was staring at his body.

Although it was true that Luo Zhen wanted to get close to him, he was too perverted.

Are all artists like this? They're obsessed with finding a model, and their eyes are terrifying.

The girls around, including Shinjima Makoto and Yasuwa Subaru, were also frightened by Kitagawa's masculine power.

But there was one woman who was an exception... Tamako Akechi:

"Hahaha~ As expected of Kitagawa-kun, you're truly devoted to your passion for painting~. By the way, are you really not going to paint for me? I can model for you for free. How about going to your thatched cottage?"

"No, go back." Kitagawa's attitude suddenly became cold.

His eyes, originally as narrow and long as a fox's, were now narrowed with an even more indifferent expression.

"I'm not interested in a thieving cat pretending to be good. I don't know what your intentions are, but you have no interest or appreciation for art, that's for sure. So I won't let you into my home or the teacher's, so don't try to get close to me."

......Crack!

Luo Zhen seemed to hear the sound of a mask of a sinister and good girl cracking.

Akechi Tamako's bright smile, which was as bright as flowers blooming, was now frozen on her face like a mask.

But she is worthy of being an internet celebrity who can appear on variety shows at such a young age.

Despite being treated so coldly and directly, he still managed to play dumb:

"Eh~? Kitagawa-kun, you're so cold, you won't be popular with girls like that. I really like your paintings, so I wanted to ask you to draw for me~"

Humph...Kitagawa looked like he was too lazy to talk to her and didn't even bother to give her an answer.

Luo Zhen pushed his glasses aside and watched this subtly awkward interaction.

Luo Zhen's twin girlfriends leaned close to his ear and whispered:

"Hey, Luo Zhenni. Does that Akechi Tamako want to pursue this boy named Kitagawa?"

"Certainly not."

Luo Zhen answered firmly, "Kitagawa's judgment is correct. That woman is just pretending to be nice. Liking someone doesn't mean giving up your self-esteem. You can't smile after being criticized so coldly."

"That kind of attitude suggests she has ulterior motives. ...For example, she wants to go to Kitagawa and his teacher's house, just like us."

“‘‘…?’’”

The twins still hadn't understood the deeper meaning of Luo Zhen's words, and tilted their heads in confusion.

157. Green Tea Female Devil (4k5)

"Lord Luo, please come over here and take a look first!"

Kitagawa Yusuke led Luo Zhen, his tall and thin body filled with enthusiasm and joy.

He seemed to completely ignore the several girls hanging behind Luo Zhen and introduced him to the paintings hanging on the walls of the art gallery:

"This sketch of a black cat was made by my teacher, along with my seniors, one day when a stray cat was basking in the sun on our windowsill. The teacher's ability to capture the beauty of such a fleeting moment in life is a testament to his artistic appreciation."

"This gorgeous bouquet of flowers blooming nearby was also a gift from our teacher. He asked us to take turns caring for these flowers, carefully observing them for a month before creating our own artwork. His ability to discover his students' aesthetic sense is a testament to his meticulous devotion. He truly deserves to be called a master of Chinese studies..."

Akechi Tamako: "Hey~ That's amazing. I didn't realize there are so many different types of Japanese paintings. I've really learned a lot~?"

......While Kitagawa was telling the story passionately, our dear little devil girl was still performing with her sweet voice.

Luo Zhen discovered that she was really not good at acting.

Gao Juanxing and the others all said that this woman was an internet celebrity who often appeared on variety shows.

But the reason why he is [only] popular on variety shows is probably related to his own talent.

Her exaggerated and strummed performance may complement those equally exaggerated programs.

But at this moment, especially when there was Ms. An Hemai who was better at pinching than her, she seemed a little out of place.

Luo Zhen clearly saw that the corner of Kitagawa Yusuke's eyes twitched.

He had no feelings towards this long chestnut-haired girl who pretended to be good.

Just when he took a deep breath and seemed about to explode.

Luo Zhen took the lead and winked at An and Subaru beside him.

"——Tamako-chan is so understanding~! This is my first time at an art exhibition like this, and it's really dazzling~...Ah, grandma is waving at us. It seems like she's asking us to go for an interview together. Tamago-chan, let's go~?"

Akechi Tamako: "Huh? But, I'd rather stay here... Miss Anhe?!"

The working soldier lady from Luo Zhen's family did not give her a chance to refuse.

He was very familiar with her and grabbed her arm and pulled her away.

Brothers from one’s own family are always useful. Luo Zhen kept in mind the kindness shown to An and Subaru.

Seeing that the troublesome woman had left, Kitagawa Yusuke, who was only focused on art, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed Luo Zhen's gaze and spoke apologetically:

"I'm sorry. Because of my position as a teacher, I have to socialize with people like this. That woman seemed to want to curry favor with my teacher, so she kept pestering me. Last time we ran into each other at the subway station, she was the one who asked me to bring her to help with the preliminary preparations for the art exhibition."

Luo Zhen shook his head. "It doesn't bother me. After all, she's a politician's daughter and a variety show star. Maybe she wants to use Madarame-sensei's fame to get more screen time."

That’s right, Kitagawa nodded in agreement.

He obviously hated this kind of utilitarian girl, and his attitude was much colder than the last time Luo Zhen saw her.

On the other hand, this also proves that Kitagawa Yusuke is truly dedicated to art.

There was no situation where he was completely captivated by the pretty girl's approach.
