Tokyo's most affectionate

While other children were playing carefree and pretending to be in the house, he was reading a book.

While other children were traveling with their parents during holidays, he was reading.

While others were beginning to fall in love, young and ignorant, and having an unforgettable first love on campus, he was reading a book.

From childhood to adulthood, he has been studying hard just to get into the University of Tokyo, get the best academic qualifications in Japan, and become an elite in society and a winner in life.

He had been on edge for many years, and even two months ago when Tsumugi Akari approached him and started an online romance with him, he never relaxed. He just had a pleasant and short moment of rest.

He had never thought before that he would come to such a place.

"I should be the one thanking you. It's because of your willingness to accompany me on a three-hour car ride and travel through mountains and rivers that we can come to a place like this."

Kurosawa Mitsuru looked at her deeply, and after his thoughts were in a mess, he leaned his hands on the rock, lowered his head to look at the stream under his feet, raised his eyes to look at the scenery on the opposite bank, and felt very happy. He turned around and smiled.

In fact, it is very simple for him to come to such a place by himself, but that feeling is definitely not as good as it is now, with someone coming with him.

It's not bad to be alone, but if you have someone to accompany you, many things will be given special meaning.

"Isn't his smile so beautiful?" Ninomiya Chizuru looked at his smiling face and was distracted for a moment. She was even amazed and fell in love with it.

In fact, as early as when they first met, she thought that Kurosawa Hikaru had a good appearance and temperament.

After several actual contacts, she discovered that Kurosawa Hikaru had many advantages.

He has a nice voice, fair skin, and a sunny and cheerful personality. When someone greets him, he will respond positively and friendly.

The most important thing is that his concentration, passion for learning and a certain persistence in his eyes during class made him stand out among the talented people at the University of Tokyo, giving her a unique feeling.

Perhaps an idea had sprouted in her mind since the first class after she met him, and it continued to grow over the past year.

When graduation is approaching, she wants to write a letter of recommendation for Kurosawa and introduce him to Jiuye Bank.

By then, they will be able to get rid of the identity of teacher and student, meet each other at Jiuye Bank as new colleagues... and fall in love.

"Ms. Ninomiya, what's wrong with you?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru saw that she was staring at him blankly with eyes full of obsession. After waiting for a while and seeing no movement, he thought for a while and waved his hand in front of her and asked.

He didn't actually want to interrupt her, but he was very curious about what he had done to make her so infatuated.

"Please smile again."

When Ninomiya Chizuru saw his smile disappear, she came to her senses, immediately lowered her head, opened her backpack, took out a thick stack of ten thousand yuan bills, and handed it to Kurosawa Hikaru.

Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the stack of banknotes she placed in front of him, estimated to be about one million, and then saw her lowering her head and begging, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

At this moment, he finally understood that it was his smile that charmed her.

"This……"

When Kurosawa Mitsuru realized the situation, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. For a moment he was at a loss as to what to do.

What should he do? Smile again? But it was hard for him to smile when someone asked him to do so… After all, he was not the kind of person who would smile for money.

Just then, Ninomiya Chizuru came to her senses.

She looked at the embarrassed expression of Kurosawa Mitsuru, then looked down at the money in her hand, and realized what she had done. Her heart was suddenly shaken.

"This water is really cold."

Kurosawa Hikaru noticed her embarrassment and shame, looked away at the stream at his feet, and then sighed as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, it's really cool."

Ninomiya Chizuru saw the stairs and followed them down. She responded and quickly stuffed the money back into her bag. She lifted her hair with one hand and pushed it behind her, echoing the voice.

Although she tried very hard to control her expression and make herself look calm, her trembling eyelashes and voice, as well as her face flushed with shyness and shame, exposed her mood.

At this moment, she really wanted to dive into the creek and drown.

Is she crazy? She actually wants to use money to make him laugh again... Using money to bribe others, what is the difference between her and her profit-seeking parents?

Chapter 174 There is something strange in the water

Ninomiya Chizuru wanted to jump into the river out of shame, while Kurosawa Hikaru was distracted by the system's prompts.

[Task progress updated, making her shy three times has been completed. 】

"It's done now... It was easier than I expected."

Realizing that she was shy, Kurosawa Mitsuru stole a glance at her, not daring to speak, but just thinking secretly.

He had initially thought that today's mission would be difficult... but it turned out to be unexpectedly easy.

For example, when she was asked to take off her stockings, she didn't think too much about it, but just minded that this was in the wilderness.

As for being shy, he completed the mission goal without doing anything specifically, and he is even more shy than Yuki.

Currently, both of them are soaking their feet by the stream, and in five minutes, the only task left is to draw a portrait.

"The tasks assigned by the system seem to be quite simple..."

The task was completed so easily that Kurosawa Mitsuru couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If you think about it carefully, although the dating tasks triggered by the system so far have various mission objectives, they are all very easy to complete when you actually do them.

The dating mission is more of a guide than a challenge.

Because of the reward, he will muster up more courage and motivation to complete the task, go on dates with girls, and do things that he would never do.

For example, when he had his first date with Xiao Youji at a karaoke bar, if there was no mission objective, out of basic courtesy for the first meeting, he would never have thought of letting Xiao Youji rest her lap on him.

There is also the second time to go on a date with Yuki at the beach. If there is no mission target, he will never do such a hooligan behavior of helping Yuki apply sunscreen and touching her whole body.

For example, when he first dated Miss Ninomiya, he tried every way to make her fall in love with him, and even deliberately took her into a haunted house and asked her to hold his arms.

Combining his many dating experiences and this time, he found that the system was only making him better and better, and he could also experience many things and create beautiful memories for the two of them.

After thinking for a while, Kurosawa Hikaru stole a glance at Miss Ninomiya beside him.

She still couldn't recover... because what happened just now was too shameful, it could even be said to be a dark history, and it had a strong aftereffect.

"It should be five minutes, right?"

Kurosawa Hikaru felt that it was necessary to change the current situation, but instead of changing his attitude directly, he thought.

With this in mind, he opened the task panel to check the progress of the foot soaking task to see how long it would take.

[Sit by the stream with her and soak your feet. Task progress: 0 seconds.]

"?"

Seeing the progress of this task, Kurosawa Mitsuru tilted his head and a big question mark appeared in his mind.

He glanced down and saw that he and Miss Ninomiya were indeed soaking their feet by the stream.

That’s right, why is the task progress not moving?

For this kind of task with a time requirement, the progress will be updated in real time, but you will not be reminded every second. Instead, you will be reminded only when the progress accumulates to completion.

"What's happening here?"

Kurosawa Mitsuru was stunned and confused for a moment.

"The goal of a date is to create beautiful and unforgettable memories. Usually there are three fixed requirements: stage, contact, and heartbeat. If there are more than four goals, there will be additional directions and the rewards will become more generous."

As he became confused, the system spoke for the first time in a long time.

"Fixed conditions?"

It was the first time that Kurosawa Hikaru heard this statement, and he immediately had ideas and directions.

There are a total of four dating tasks this time.

[One hundred and fifty kilometers away from Tokyo], this is the stage.

[Make her shy three times], this is heart-beating.

The remaining two tasks are [Draw a portrait for her] and [Sit by the river or soak her feet by the stream with her]

Analyzing from the literal meaning, the only task that meets the inherent condition of "contact" is soaking feet together.

As for "painting a portrait for her", the direction should be to show self-worth.

"Do I have to have physical contact with her?"

Suddenly realizing the direction of the mission target, Kurosawa Hikaru took another look at the mission progress, which was still 0 seconds, and then looked at Ninomiya Chizuru beside him.

After a while, she finally recovered and her blush faded away, but she still kept her body tense and didn't dare to make a sound.

Seeing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru was also observing her and thinking about countermeasures.

She clasped her hands together and placed them on her thighs. She was very tense and wanted to shake hands, but was afraid that it would not be natural enough.

Should we sit close together? But if I suddenly move closer, will it scare her?

As for hugging her, that was even more sudden...the atmosphere was a bit awkward and not natural enough.

Being stared at by him, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was still very nervous, suddenly felt anxious and started to have wild thoughts.

"He's looking at me with a strange look. Is it because of what happened just now?"

"What should I do? How can I make him forget what happened just now? Is it okay to give him money?"

"One million... this seems too little. I only brought one million as a backup this time. How about ten million? Write him a check."

Although she hated her parents who were only interested in money, she grew up under such family education and inevitably developed the habit of solving problems with money.

According to her parents, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

"ah!"

At this moment, Ninomiya Chizuru, who was nervous, suddenly felt her feet soaking in the stream touched something. She was immediately frightened, her body trembled involuntarily, and she pulled her feet out of the water.

"Kurosawa, get your feet out of the water quickly, there's something strange in the water."

She put her legs aside and out of concern, she hurriedly grabbed Kurosawa Mitsuru's arm and shook it to remind him.

"Uh……"

Kurosawa Hikaru felt embarrassed when his body was shaken and he saw her horrified look on her face.

Because the strange thing she was talking about was his feet.

He observed for a while and was at a loss for what to do. Suddenly, he noticed her feet under the stream and thought of the task of soaking her feet, so he tried to interact with her underwater.

Unexpectedly, when he cautiously moved his foot over and touched her, she would be scared like this.

Ninomiya Chizuru shook his arm a few times and soon noticed his stiffness and embarrassment.

She lowered her head and looked, and found that there was nothing in the water, no fish, no garbage, only Kurosawa Hikaru's feet.

Seeing this scene, combined with Kurosawa Hikaru's awkward reaction...it was obvious that the strange thing she touched just now was Kurosawa Hikaru's foot.

"Sorry, I thought it was fish and snakes or something."

Ninomiya Chizuru calmed down, smoothed her messy hair with her hands, regained her composure, put her feet in the water again, and explained.

Her face started to feel hot again...she felt ashamed and dejected.

It was clearly a date that she had finally managed to get, but she kept losing her composure and was not able to maintain her previous maturity and composure.

Her image and what should have been a wonderful and happy date were all ruined by her.

"This stream is flowing too fast. I wasn't paying attention just now and my feet went across it."

Kurosawa Hikaru was sitting upstream. Seeing her embarrassment, he realized that he could not remain silent any longer, so he spoke.

"I know."

Ninomiya Chizuru nodded, feeling more and more annoyed.

What's wrong with me today? I'm so jumpy.

She is older than Hikaru Kurosawa, and she should be like a calm and calm big sister who doesn't panic when things happen.

“This stream is really big.”

Noticing that she was still in a bad mood, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a moment and added.

"?"

Hearing this, Ninomiya Chizuru looked ahead with some confusion.
