Why do they take Tokyo's boyfriend rental seriously?

Chapter 10 Comparing people to each other makes people angry
Amidst the laughter and joy, the restaurant started serving the dishes.

The biggest feature of hot pot cuisine is that it is served quickly. All you need to do is provide the pot base and various ingredients.

When people are eating and drinking, they tend to feel happier and more relaxed, and topics will naturally open up.

"Kamiya-san, how did you manage to win over Yue-chan? She's quite difficult to win over. She's rejected countless boys before you."

Miyagi Wakaba likes to talk and is good at finding topics to talk about. She asks questions that everyone cares about.

This question touched everyone's heart, and everyone's eyes flew over.

The most curious part of other people's love affairs is the first encounter, because that marks the beginning of a story.

"Well...it's a natural progression, right?"

Because he had prepared in the cafe before the meeting, Sugawara Ryuichi was not surprised at all by this question. After pondering for a while, he came up with a specific word.

This statement made everyone look at each other in confusion, but no one spoke. Instead, they continued to look at him, waiting for what to say next.

Finding that they were all in the mood to listen to the story, Sugawara Ryuichi went over the manuscript again in his mind and began to narrate:

"The first time I met Sister Yue, I happened to see her in the school library. I thought she was very beautiful at the time. However, I had to complete a study group assignment and needed to find some relevant books, so I just glanced at her from a distance and left."

"The second time I met her was also in the library. She was busy writing her graduation thesis and moved a lot of books by herself and sat in a quiet corner to study."

"And you hooked up with her?"

Miyagi Wakaba was a rather impatient person, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt.

"Shh~"

Mai Asai made a hushed gesture to her, signaling her not to interrupt.

Seeing this, Miyagi Wakaba had no choice but to close her mouth and zip up her mouth with her hand.

"No, but because I have a crush on her, I chose a position where we can see each other."

Faced with her impatience, Sugawara Ryuichi smiled, shook his head and explained.

"This time, I made eye contact with Sister Yue a few times and smiled."

Seeing their little movements, Sugawara Ryuichi continued to add details.

"Eye contact? What did you feel at that time?"

Although she didn't want to interrupt, Miyagi Wakaba couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"He looks so handsome when he reads. It makes it difficult for me to concentrate on my reading."

This question was not within the scope of preparation, but Yamabuki Tsuki and Sugawara Ryuichi have known each other for a long time, so he can answer it based on his experience.

"Imagine it."

Seeing her express her feelings, the three girls looked at Sugawara Ryuichi's handsome face, and pictures suddenly appeared in their minds.

"Based on these two chance encounters and observations, I confirmed that there was a 90% chance that Sister Yue was single. She didn't seem to have a boyfriend, so I decided to take the initiative."

Perhaps he was interrupted, but Ryuichi Sugawara did not end his story, but continued.

"So you didn't approach her the first two times because you wanted to see if she was single?"

Hearing this, Miyagi Wakaba was shocked.

"If she has a boyfriend, wouldn't it be rude for me to flirt with her?"

Ryuichi Sugawara did not deny this statement, but only defended himself.

"That's true."

“That’s very thoughtful.”

"As expected of a Waseda University student, right? Not impulsive at all."

The girls looked at each other, speechless for a moment, not even knowing how to complain.

"Anyway, the third time I met Sister Yue again, I went to chat her up."

Seeing their amusing and helpless reactions, Sugawara Ryuichi smiled and then spoke.

"I'm coming!"

After skipping the boring background, we finally got to the point. Miyagi Wakaba was very excited.

"Don't make trouble. Then what? Then how did you strike up a conversation?"

Faced with her excitement, Asai Mai quickly held her down and signaled Sugawara Ryuichi to continue.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Sugawara Ryuichi took a deep breath, then looked at Yamabukizuki beside him and asked in a very polite tone.

As he immersed himself in his monologue, the three women turned their eyes to Yamabukizuki in tacit understanding.

"Of course you can, but there are still many empty seats in the library. Why are you sitting here?"

Noticing his friends' eye contact, Shan Chuiyue swallowed and was forced to respond with a rhetorical question.

"Because I want to get to know you."

Sugawara Ryuichi smiled lightly and stated his purpose directly.

"Wow... so direct."

"No wonder Yue-chan was so hard to catch, but you still caught up with her."

"What was your reaction then, Yue-chan?"

Finally, they witnessed the encounter and the beginning of the story. The three women had different reactions and were chattering.

"When I looked at his handsome face, my mind went blank. I was nervous and shy and didn't know what to say."

"And then?"

"Because she didn't say anything, I asked her again, 'Is this seat occupied?'"

Ryuichi Sugawara took up the story and continued to narrate it.

"At the time, I subconsciously said no... Then he smiled and asked another question, and I was completely devastated."

Because it was a made-up story, Yamabuki Tsuki reacted quickly and took over the conversation.

"What did he say?"

Miyagi Wakaba was really getting anxious when she found out that she was still keeping it a secret.

"What about your heart?"

Facing their gazes, Yamabuki Tsuki glanced at Sugawara Ryuichi, and finding that he didn't say anything, he had to take the initiative to reveal the answer.

"Wow……"

"Isn't this too sweet?"

Because too much foreshadowing had been laid out before, the three women, who had already imagined the scene in their minds, were truly shocked when they heard these words.

The place of their encounter was clearly a very ordinary library. There was no hero saving the beauty, nor were there any unexpected developments. It was just a chat that couldn't be more ordinary.

However, when they saw the two parties telling the story of their encounter in a vivid way, they still felt the spark of excitement.

No wonder Yuejiang fell for it. Which girl can resist such a pick-up line?
"After we met, everything just happened naturally... We were both single. We exchanged names and contact information, and occasionally made appointments to read books together in the library. I started dating her six months after she graduated from university."

After telling the story of the encounter, Ryuichi Sugawara continued to add to it.

This was a detail he made up to fill in the gaps after listening to Yamabuki Tsuki's story, which is a problem of the timeline.

"Why did it take you so long to date?"

As he explained, the girls belatedly realized the problem.

If you think about it carefully, Yuejiang didn't start dating while she was in school. When they celebrated their graduation from college together, there was no news about it. There was only news about it a year ago.

"Because she was busy with graduation and certification, I didn't want to affect her at such a critical moment, so I waited until her life was settled."

"So that's it."

"How thoughtful."

"It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. I wish my boyfriend was half as considerate as you."

After learning the reason, the girls suddenly understood and reacted differently.

Especially Risa Minami, she felt a little irritated when she thought of her boyfriend and her useless brother.

They are both men, why is there such a big difference?

"When she officially became a teacher and started working, I started pursuing her. After we expressed our feelings to each other, we got together."

At the end of the story, Sugawara Ryuichi looked at Yamabukizuki beside him, chuckled softly, and reached out his hand to smooth the hair that was stuck to her face.

[Yamabukizuki feels his heartbeat quicken, heart rate +1]

The unexpected little interaction made Shan Chuiyue blush a little.
