Tokyo: Starting with a fake boyfriend

Because Shiratori Shu, who was looking down just a second ago, suddenly raised his head and met his gaze directly.

"Oops!"

Their eyes met, and Kimura Seiichiro, who had been cursing inwardly, suddenly trembled, his heart skipping a beat.

Not only was he frightened, but the two people who were spying with him were too. When they saw Shiratori Osamu looking at them, they felt their scalps tingle like mice seeing a cat, and they quickly turned around and ran away.

At the same time, Shinonome Chisei, who was playing a game, noticed her brother-in-law's reaction and consciously looked up, following his gaze.

However, when she looked towards the door, she saw nothing.

"What happened?"

Seeing this, Shinonome Sensei couldn't help but ask.

“Some students from Takeno High School came to watch the commotion and were peeking at us. I saw them and they ran away.”

Shiratori Osamu gave a brief explanation and then continued reading.

He had anticipated this situation, after all, the rumors about him and Professor Dongyun spending the weekend in the Qingkong Study Room had been quite widespread.

But a clear conscience fears no accusation. His relationship with Teacher Dongyun is completely innocent and aboveboard, so he doesn't care if others see them.

Perhaps the person supervising his studies today is Shinonome Chisei, not Shinonome-sensei, but the result is the same.

The more people who know that he studies diligently even on weekends under the influence of Mr. Dongyun, the better. That way, when the results are announced next Friday and he gets a high score in math, there will be fewer idiots questioning him.

"oh oh……"

Dongyun Qianxing initially thought that the bodyguards from yesterday had arrived and that her brother-in-law was going to be forcibly taken away again, but it turned out that it was just students coming to watch the fun, so she didn't take it to heart.

But after this incident, her curiosity, which she had managed to suppress with great difficulty, began to stir again.

Actually, she had been thinking about it yesterday: how her brother-in-law could notice other people's gazes and look up to lock onto them without warning, almost like spider-sense.

And yesterday, my brother-in-law was escorted away in three luxury cars by the powerful head of the family, who had such influence that even calling the police was useless. What exactly happened?

And who exactly is my brother-in-law? He's clearly a high school student, but he gives off the impression of being someone important and very capable.

Because she was forcing herself not to ask, it felt like ants were crawling all over her body, making her unbearably itchy. Driven by curiosity, a hopeful thought surfaced in Dongyun Qianxing's mind:

"I was just chatting with my brother-in-law, which I guess counts as keeping my distance, right?"

Chapter 127 Disappointment at one's own shortcomings

"Shiratori-kun, it's 12:50. Let's take a break and have lunch after we finish reading this page."

Being aware that walls have ears, and also wanting to imitate her sister, Dongyun Qianxing timed it perfectly and spoke softly, just like her sister had yesterday.

"it is good."

Shiratori Osamu nodded, his gaze remaining fixed on the book.

After receiving a response, Shinonome Chisei began to eagerly await it.

As expected, just as she had anticipated, her brother-in-law pressed down on the ballpoint pen in his hand, put the pen tip away, and then broke out of his cold and focused state.

"That's so cool!" Even though it might not be the first time she'd seen it, Shinonome Chisei was still very excited.

Although my brother-in-law's cool demeanor is quite handsome, he looks like he's troubled by worries and is melancholic, which is almost visually violent and makes people want to protect him.

"I need to keep a distance from her. This sister-in-law is too sensitive. It would be bad if I messed things up." As his emotions and thoughts returned to his body, Shiratori Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at Dongyun Qianxing opposite him, consciously thinking to himself.

Perhaps he was determined to win over the twin sisters, but this was a serious matter, so it was better to proceed slowly.

Compared to his quirky sister-in-law, Shinonome Chisei, he definitely prefers Shinonome Mizuki.

Putting aside her identity as a teacher, Shinonome Mizuki's unexpected charm is also exceptional.

The emotional journey that triggered the turning point in her life was also super cute. The seemingly aloof and mature Shinonome-sensei actually calls himself Mizuki-sama in private.

"Dongyun-san, have you received any news from your sister?"

Thinking of this, Shiratori suddenly asked.

"Let me see." Dongyun Qianxing was taken aback upon hearing this. She took out her phone from her pocket and woke up the screen. Seeing more than a dozen Line messages, her expression immediately changed. "Oh no..."

She spent the whole morning playing and completely forgot that the receptionist had asked her to put her phone on silent before entering the study room.

"what happened?"

Seeing her pale face, Shiratori Osamu's expression also changed, and he quickly took out his phone from his pocket.

Mr. Dongyun is not feeling well and is home alone. Could something have happened to him?

However, when he took out his phone, he hadn't received a single message.

“My sister started asking me at 10 o’clock if I was studying hard, but I didn’t reply for a long time. She suspects that I was playing games and not supervising my studies at all. She’s very angry now.”

After reading more than a dozen messages, Dongyun Qianxing felt utterly hopeless, and her body began to tremble.

Actually, her playing games isn't a big deal; she plays them all the time at home. The key point is that when she forced her sister onto the bed this morning, she promised that she would seriously supervise her brother-in-law's studies.

To her surprise, her sister woke up from her nap so quickly and even sent a message to check on her.

"Is she alright?"

"She looks fine and is in good spirits."

"That's good."

Upon learning this, Shiratori Osamu was immediately relieved.

"But I must have something to do. She told me to wait for her."

When this was mentioned, Shinonome Chisei's face fell.

Because they grew up together, she knew her sister's temperament very well.

It's actually quite easy to tell if your older sister is angry. When she says "Just you wait," she's truly angry.

That makes sense. My sister must have been really looking forward to spending time alone with my brother-in-law today, but she just showed up halfway through and abruptly ended things without even getting them done.

"oh oh."

"oh oh?"

Dongyun Qianxing was initially dejected, but seeing his normal reaction, she found it hard to believe.

This isn't how you play a visual novel! Your brother-in-law wants to seduce her and have the three of you together. Shouldn't he say something nice to comfort her in a situation like this?

"Uh, what should my reaction be?"

Upon hearing her repeat her words, Shiratori Osamu paused, unsure of how to proceed.

Seeing his wooden-like reaction, and not getting any help from him, Shinonome Chisei thought for a moment and then started to move around the side of the sofa to get closer.

"Stop, what are you trying to do by getting so close?"

Upon seeing this move, Shiratori called a halt before she crossed the center line.

"???"

Shinonome Chisei wanted to get closer so they could talk quietly without being overheard, but he unexpectedly stopped her from getting closer, which was a huge blow to her.

What's going on? Why does my brother-in-law want to keep his distance from her?

"I know you are Shinonome Sensei, but others don't. They might think you are Shinonome-sensei. If someone sees you standing too close to me, it could cause misunderstandings."

Whether out of a desire to stop the pursuit or out of a sense of self-preservation, Shiratori Shu didn't dare to get too close to her.

"Brother-in-law, you have to help me. If my sister asks you later whether I have supervised things seriously, just say that I have."

Although she didn't know what was going on, Shinonome Chisei didn't have the mind to think about it anymore and sat on the side of the sofa, quietly asking for help.

"I can help you, but you have to promise me one thing."

Seeing that she was very anxious, Shiratori Osamu, although he didn't know why she was so scared, still took the opportunity to make a fuss.

"Ok?"

These words immediately set off alarm bells for Shinonome Sensei.

As a galgame expert, she was all too familiar with this situation; if she dared to agree, she would definitely be taken advantage of.

"Don't worry, my request is very simple and won't make things difficult for you."

Noticing her wide-eyed, alert reaction, Shiratori quickly added to avoid any misunderstanding.

"Tell me first."

Shinonome Sensei's original verdict remains unchanged; we await further developments.

"Takeno High School will start summer vacation next Friday. Mr. Shinonome will most likely tutor me on the first day of summer vacation, so you can't sneak over with me."

Faced with her wariness, Shiratori Osamu didn't hide anything from her and directly revealed the answer.

"that's it?"

Upon hearing this, Dongyun Qianxing was taken aback and then confirmed it.

"that's it."

Shiratori Osamu nodded seriously; he wasn't joking.

"..."

Dongyun Qianxing looked at his handsome face, opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say. Her tense and fearful heart suddenly plummeted to the bottom.

What does this request mean? Didn't my brother-in-law say this morning that he was very happy to see her? The kind of happy that someone in their 99s wouldn't let her come with my sister?

Do you think she's in the way? That's impossible. She must have done a great job yesterday. She definitely helped to bridge the gap between my sister and brother-in-law. She was a very competent wingman.

And wasn't her brother-in-law trying to woo her? Did she overthink things this morning? Actually, her brother-in-law never intended to woo her. He just had a good impression of her because she called him "brother-in-law" and was secretly helping him and his sister.

"How about it?"

Although she didn't seem very happy, Shiratori Osamu didn't change his mind.

The younger sister-in-law's personality is indeed quite amusing, but when she's around, Ms. Dongyun is actually a bit reserved, trying to maintain her authority as an older sister in front of her younger sister.

Moreover, he has a plan to discuss changing the study location with Mr. Dongyun.

Otherwise, if it were discovered that he had just told Xiao Nan and his mother-in-law that he was going back to his hometown, and then immediately appeared at the Qingkong Study Room, it would be a real problem.

Were you lying to me before?

Realizing that her brother-in-law wasn't playing hard to get, but genuinely didn't want her to come along, Dongyun Qianxing's beautiful purple eyes fell on Bai Niao Xiu's face, and she suddenly asked.

"what?"

Shiratori Osamu was taken aback by her words, not understanding which sentence she was referring to.

"You said I'm free to stay wherever I want, and you think I'm quite interesting."

Dongyun Qianxing's expression changed; she was no longer grinning and pursed her lips, looking at him with some nervousness.

This situation reminded her of a friend she knew from school who would tell her to her face that she had a very interesting personality, but behind her back, they would talk badly about her, saying that she was crazy and annoying.

My brother-in-law was saying she was funny yesterday, but now he tells her not to follow my sister around whenever he gets the chance. The underlying meaning of this behavior is as if he is saying that she is annoying.

"I'm not lying to you, I really do find you very interesting."

Seeing her reaction, Shiratori realized that his actions had unintentionally touched a nerve with her, and he became serious as well.

[Detection successful]

This situation reminded him of a saying: people who seem carefree and easygoing on the surface are actually very meticulous.

"Then why won't you let me go with my sister? And why do you try to stop me by making demands?"

Finding that he wasn't guilty at all and seemed very sincere, Dongyun Qianxing felt a little better and then asked.

"Because I want to spend time alone with your sister and develop a relationship with her. I don't know if you've noticed, but I like your sister. Also, what I said before was serious. It's precisely because you are free to go wherever you want that I have to use demands to control your freedom."

To put her mind at ease, Shiratori Osamu didn't care about anything else and spoke his mind freely.

[Detection successful]

"Don't you think I'm in your way?"

Because he seemed very sincere, Shinonome Sensei immediately felt at ease and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The thing she hates most is when other people think she's annoying or a nuisance.

Actually, she's a bit socially awkward; she's only so lively, even a little crazy, in front of people she knows well.
