People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

Fortunately, Miss Liang did not let him down.

After successfully getting away with it, the tension was temporarily relieved.

He was planning to breathe a sigh of relief, but just as he was relaxing, a panel suddenly popped up in front of him.

After being slightly frightened and coming back to his senses, Aokisuke realized that the light blue panel in front of him was the [Love Simulation Game] that had not appeared for some time.

What are you doing suddenly showing up at this time...

While silently complaining in his heart, he turned his attention to the panel with curiosity.

The long-dormant [Love Simulation Game], as soon as it appeared, provided three "Love Simulation" options.

His eyes scanned the panel.

But after seeing the three options clearly, Aokisuke's facial expression froze slightly——

[At this moment, you are in the kotatsu, and right in front of you are the legs of a beautiful girl. Looking at these beautiful legs wrapped in pantyhose, even at the risk of being discovered by Hong Xia, you still decide——]

[Option 50: Even if I do nothing, I won't make a mistake—Do nothing. To be safe, it's best to get through this accident smoothly. (Reward: points)]

[Option 300: Give Up Halfway and There Will Always Be a Way Out - After careful consideration, you believe this misunderstanding can be resolved, so you decide to emerge from your current kotatsu and confront Hong Xia. (Reward: points, two random expert-level skills)]

[Option 200: The stockings look great—start from the soles of your feet and work your way up your thighs. (Reward: points, and one music master-level skill of your choice.)]

[Please note! The host will bear the consequences of reaching the ending by themselves, and it has nothing to do with this game!]

Chapter 71 Hesitation leads to defeat

Trying his best to hold his breath, Aokisuke looked at the three options given on the panel in front of him, not knowing how to react for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he began to hesitate about which option to choose.

Option one, do nothing.

Although this option does not require much pressure and there may not be any unexpected situations, the rewards are relatively small.

Given a choice, Aokisuke plans to think about it again.

Keep this option for now. If you are really hesitant, it is not too late to confirm this option.

Option 2:

To be fair, Aoki Jie subjectively did not want to choose this option.

If he had explained after Hongxia pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, and before he hid in the kotatsu, Aokijie thought that this misunderstanding could be resolved after he explained the whole story and all the "bad fate" that had happened since he invited Miss Liang to dinner in the first place.

But right now...

I've been hiding inside the kotatsu for quite some time, and Miss Liang outside is also trying her best to cover up. If I emerge from the kotatsu now and try to explain...

Aoki Jie didn't think that he could explain the situation to Hongxia with his eloquence.

Moreover, more than that, the more important point is——

In fact, the reward for option 2 is not so generous that you have to choose it.

Let’s not talk about the 300 points for now, let’s just talk about the two expert-level skills that were randomly rewarded.

As mentioned before, the skill pool of [Love Simulation Game] is extremely rich, and the uncertainty of the word "random" is too great.

Therefore, unless the option requirements are very low or there is nothing else to choose, under normal circumstances, Aokisuke will not tend to choose this kind of "random" reward.

In contrast, the reward for option three is very tempting to Aoki Jie at the moment.

Again, leaving aside the points, let's just talk about the additional skill rewards—

The three words "music" alone include all music-related skills in the skill pool of [Love Simulation Game], from cello and violin to hand drums, or even singing techniques. As long as it is related to the word "music", you can choose it.

What's more, the one chosen is master level.

It would be fine if it happened on normal days, but at this moment, Aoki Jie just needed a master-level skill in music.

When I was discussing with Tomosuke Niijima in the cafe earlier, I decided on the music "Fireworks".

Not wanting to give up this free publicity, if they could come to an agreement later, Aokisuke would naturally want to lead the band to perform "Fireworks" as perfectly as possible.

But here is the problem,

The music of "Light up Fireworks" is composed of piano as the main melody.

however--

The current band has five members, including three guitarists including Aoki Suke, but as luck would have it, there is not even a keyboardist.

In order to perfectly perform "Fireworks", an excellent keyboardist is obviously needed, and the reward for option three can just make up for the weakness of the Ending Band, which currently has more guitarists than keyboardists.

only......

Looking at the panel hanging in front of him, Aokisuke fell into deep hesitation again.

There is no doubt that the reward of option three is what he needs most at the moment.

But the completion requirements for option three...

Inside the kotatsu, Aokisuke's face was full of expressions.

For a moment, the thought of "just choose option 1" even came to his mind.

But now that I have a choice, I feel a little reluctant to compromise like this...

In the not-too-dark kotatsu, Miss Liang's legs in black pantyhose were right in front of him.

As mentioned in option 3, the texture of the stockings does look very good. You can feel its delicateness just by looking at it, and it would be even better if you touched it...

Decisively stop your thoughts from going astray.

Aoki Jie began to think about the trade-offs again.

Take: You can get a master-level skill and 200 points.

She: Afterwards, I must make a sincere apology to Ms. Liang with all my heart...

But speaking of it, Aokisuke thinks that he has the best relationship with Miss Liang after the end of the band. Although not a close friend, they are definitely brothers who are as close as brothers. So - something like touching legs between brothers... maybe, there is no problem... ?

Outside the kotatsu.

Although Yamada Ryo felt it was very strange that Aokisuke touched her legs, she had the same idea as Aokisuke did - she really had no resistance.

But the lack of resistance does not mean that Miss Liang will have no reaction at this moment.

I just had this embarrassing incident where the restricted-level fan fiction I bought by mistake was discovered, and I'm still a little emotionally shaken.

Hong Xia suddenly arrived shortly afterwards. The situation was critical and she got so excited that she let Suki-san hide in the kotatsu again.

Even Miss Liang, who usually doesn't have much emotional fluctuation, can't be in a calm mood right now.

And in this situation——

Outside the kotatsu, Ms. Liang tried her best to look no different from usual.

He still had that cool expression on his face, and sat in front of the kotatsu with a deliberately calm look.

Behind her, on the bedside table, Hong Xia searched for the drumstick for a while but couldn't find it.

“There’s nothing here…”

Hong Xia continued to search but couldn't find it and started to wonder,

"Liang, are the drumsticks in here? Why can't I find them..."

Yamada Ryo thought for a moment, and after consideration, he prepared to respond.

however--

Just before she was about to speak, she suddenly felt an inexplicable touch on the soles of Miss Liang's feet.

Inside the kotatsu.

Aokijie kept apologizing to Miss Liang in his heart and took a deep breath.

There was no point in hesitating. After choosing option three, he was ready for the master-level skills!

After a slight hesitation, Aokisuke gently placed his right hand on the sole of Miss Liang's feet inside the kotatsu.

......

The feel... is indeed very delicate, and the texture of the stockings is really good.

Because she was lying in the kotatsu, even in the bedroom with the air conditioner at a low temperature, the temperature of Miss Liang's feet was not very cold...

Forcefully interrupt your own thoughts that are beginning to wander.

Suppress your heartbeat, continue to breathe deeply, and raise your right hand slightly...

In front of me, the little feet wrapped in black pantyhose suddenly curled up into a ball because of the sudden touch.

And at this time outside the kotatsu——

The words that were about to come out of Hong Xia's mouth were subconsciously turned into single syllables because of the touch.

"Ugh——!"

Startled by the sudden sound, Hong Xia, who was looking through the bedside table with her back turned, looked back at Yamada Ryo.

"Liang, what's wrong?"

My breathing hitched for a moment.

Under the kotatsu, Yamada Ryo could clearly feel the touch on his calf.

His body froze for a moment, and a blush instantly appeared on his face.

I wanted to ask Suki-san what was going on, but Hongxia was watching right beside me.

What a weird play...

At this moment, Miss Liang's hands were trembling slightly.

Hong Xia's question had not yet been answered. Enduring the subtle feeling of the touch moving upwards little by little, she responded with a slight tremor in her voice.

"No, nothing, it's just that a bug suddenly flew over and scared me."

Hong Xia tilted her head, still with a puzzled look on her face. After looking for a while, she turned her gaze back, but while continuing to look for the drumstick, she murmured softly,

"Liang, you're so weird today..."

Chapter 72 The Boomerang Hits Back

Outside the kotatsu, Yamada Ryo's body was slightly stiff, and he did not respond to Hongxia's somewhat confused mumbling.

Until Hong Xia let out a soft cry,

"Oh, I found it! It's so deep..."

Hong Xia stopped searching and found her spare drumsticks, which were still unpacked, in a cabinet nearby.

He took it out and looked at it, then stood up and looked at Yamada Ryo again.

She still felt a little strange about Liang's behavior today, but after blinking, Hong Xia finally chose not to continue wondering.

"If you find it, I'll go home first... Oh, by the way - Liang, do you want to go to Starry for practice this afternoon?"

By the kotatsu, Yamada Ryo heard Hongxia talking to him, and he responded, trying to keep his voice steady, "If you want to practice in the afternoon, it's okay."

"Well—see you this afternoon in that case," Hong Xia nodded after receiving the confirmed information. She paused for a moment before continuing, "Then I'll be leaving first. My sister's still home and hasn't eaten yet."

He bent over to rearrange the cabinets and left the room.

Inside the kotatsu.

Before Hong Xia said, "Ryo, do you want to go to Starry for practice this afternoon?", Aoki Jie had already completed the third option given by the [Love Simulation Game] -

[Feel the texture of Ms. Liang's stockings from the soles of her feet all the way up to her thighs.]

The option is completed, and the rewards for the 'Love Simulation Game' are settled.

200 points, choose a master-level music skill.

After completing the options, Aoki Jie was silent for a moment and calmed down. He did not rush to make a choice, but began to wait for Hongxia outside the kotatsu to leave.

Until I heard a not-too-loud sound of a door closing next to my ears.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then Aokisuke crawled out from the other end of the quilt.
