The Tsukiyuki Zaibatsu owned properties in all twenty-three wards of Tokyo. Ultimately, Yu Qingxue drove to Chiyoda Ward.
Incidentally, a certain mascot’s Imperial Palace was also in Chiyoda. One of Tsukiyuki Rio’s upscale apartments was beside Hibiya Park. Accompanied by Yu Qingxue, she took the elevator to the top floor of the high-end apartment building.
Compared to living with her parents, Tsukiyuki Rio preferred living alone, allowing only a few servants, including Yu Qingxue, to attend to her daily needs. She categorically refused entry to anyone else.
Eldest Miss Tsukiyuki Rio was in fact a perfectionist. Back then, to create such a private space, she had hired top designers from twelve countries, trying out Chinese style, Mediterranean style, Nordic minimalism, and Islamic style in succession.
In the end, she chose the current Empire style decoration. The ornate carvings and precious oil paintings made one feel as if stepping into a modern European palace.
And this was merely one of Tsukiyuki Rio’s many properties. In her other apartments and villas, she had homes of different styles. Even the batch of pet ponies she raised had a three-story duplex villa with its own attendants, and going up and down stairs required an elevator.
Her personal maid, Yu Qingxue, was indeed very wealthy, but the one who paid Yu Qingxue and even the entire Yu Family’s salaries was Tsukiyuki Rio.
Tsukiyuki Rio was not interested in luxury cars, so she didn’t have a dedicated garage for them. However, if she wanted, there was no means of transportation in the world that she couldn’t afford.
After returning home, Tsukiyuki Rio headed to her bedroom. Yu Qingxue immediately changed into a classic maid long dress. Compared to the thigh-baring otaku-appealing maid outfit she wore when interacting with Gao Sijin, this current attire was actually Yu Qingxue’s real work uniform.
“Young Miss, I’ll go brew you some tea.”
“Mm, thank you for your hard work, Qingxue.”
Tsukiyuki Rio opened her computer and clicked an application on the desktop. Immediately, the walls of the entire room turned into screens.
One after another, the pitch-black screens lit up simultaneously, and the content on the screens was none other than Gao Sijin’s home, which was less than forty square meters.
During Gao Sijin and Yu Qingxue’s first date, Yu Qingxue took the opportunity to visit Gao Sijin’s home and installed pinhole cameras covering every angle without blind spots. For Tsukiyuki Rio these days, her greatest interest was nothing other than observing Gao Sijin’s every move in this room.
“Young Miss, your tea is ready.”
Yu Qingxue carried the tea, respectfully and gently placed it on Tsukiyuki Rio’s desk, then silently stood behind Tsukiyuki Rio, awaiting the next instructions from her mistress.
“Gao-kun has been playing games ever since he got home. How disappointing. I had been so looking forward to seeing him.”
“After all, he’s just a child whose body has grown up but whose mind remains stuck at eighteen.”
“Is that what you think?”
“A person yearning for kindness and justice—if not a child, then what?”
Tsukiyuki Rio cast a glance at Yu Qingxue. Yu Qingxue also seemed to realize she had misspoken just now, so she lowered her head:
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s fine. Because in my eyes, he is indeed a child. No matter how many books he writes, no matter how old he gets, he’s just a child so pitiful that I want to lock him in a cage and care for him tenderly. The outside world is far too filthy and dark for a child of immature mind. It would dirty him.” Tsukiyuki Rio added, “In this world, the only one who can dirty him is me.”
On the screen, Gao Sijin was having the time of his life playing League of Legends, as if he could never tire of it.
“What time does he start writing every day?”
“Around seven in the evening.”
Tsukiyuki Rio propped her chin on her hand, gazing at Gao Sijin with a look of infatuation.
“The way he plays games is so cute. I really want to hug him.”
After a large “Defeat” appeared on Gao Sijin’s computer screen, Tsukiyuki Rio opened QQ.
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “Hey.”
Ai: “I’m here.”
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “What are you up to?”
Ai: “Thinking about how to write the next part of the plot.”
Yu Qingxue saw their chat log and couldn’t help but smile:
“Telling a barefaced lie. He was clearly playing games just now.”
“That’s exactly the cute side of him.”
Tsukiyuki Rio continued tapping the keyboard with her slender fingers.
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “Can we play a game together?”
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “I’ve always wanted to build a close, inseparable relationship with Gao-kun in the game world.”
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “Let’s play bot lane ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶!”
Ai: “What can you play?”
Ai: “Don’t tell me you’re going to play Yuumi. I have trauma with that champion.”
Tsukiyuki Rio glanced at Yu Qingxue:
“I remember you’re a Challenger-ranked player, right? Can you play for me?”
“Young Miss, this kind of behavior is called boosting. It’s highly discouraged, and if discovered, you could even get banned.”
“I can consider giving you a raise.”
“This isn’t about money.”
“Double.”
“Very well, Young Miss. I’m more than happy to help.”
Yu Qingxue sat down on the computer chair in place of Tsukiyuki Rio, and used Tsukiyuki Rio’s QQ account to continue chatting with Gao Sijin.
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “How about this: I’ll play Pantheon, you play Soraka, and we’ll blow up the bot lane together.”
Ai: “I’m suddenly suspecting you’re an internet transvestite…”
Tsukiyuki Rio took a selfie with her phone, then had Yu Qingxue send it to Gao Sijin.
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “How could that be?”
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “Picture.jpg.”
Ai: “Alright, but wait a moment. I’m going to take a shower first.”
Little Ai’s Fiancée: “Okay, go ahead.”
Yu Qingxue looked back at Tsukiyuki Rio, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, her expression overflowing with delight.
In Gao Sijin’s home, even the bathroom had long been fitted with seven pinhole cameras.
“Should I excuse myself…?”
Yu Qingxue asked tentatively.
“If you want to watch, you can watch together too.”
“Fine.”
On the screen, Gao Sijin took off his clothes and tossed them into the washing machine, then stretched his body.
Actually, though Gao Sijin’s looks couldn’t be called a strikingly handsome face, he was clean-cut and gentle, giving off a mild-mannered vibe.
His skin was somewhat pale. He rarely went out normally, and staying home for so long made him appear a bit listless.
When Gao Sijin, completely naked, walked into the camera’s view, Tsukiyuki Rio couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, her face filled with intoxicated infatuation. In her dark-red eyes, one could vaguely see the shape of a heart.
“Young Miss, are you alright?”
“I can’t take it anymore. I really want to possess Gao-kun, so badly. Now, right now, I want to pin him down on the bed and ravish him fiercely, making him wear an expression as pitiful as a small animal!”
Tsukiyuki Rio walked up to the screen, her previous elegance and composure vanishing in an instant. “Gao-kun, I beg you, come to me quickly. I can’t wait any longer. I’ve preserved my virginity for you all this time. Please, take it quickly, let us become happy together. Our bodies will merge, our souls will intertwine, and we will never be apart again!”
Tsukiyuki Rio shed the precious black kimono she was wearing, pressing her pure white body against the side of the screen, her gaze fixed intensely on every inch of Gao Sijin’s entire body.
She smiled a demented smile.
Like a hunter locking onto prey.
A plot long in the making.
She would use her own body as bait to keep Gao Sijin by her side forever.
On the desk, Yu Qingxue saw a pre-prepared document.
The name on the document: Tsukiyuki Nishiki.
Yu Qingxue felt that there would soon be more fun to watch.
[T/N: Nishiki(Brocade) is the Japanese reading of the character ‘Jin’ in Sijin’s name.]
