"Hehe~ I saw you were back, Shichen, so I couldn't resist coming to find you."
Hoshino Ai took small steps, her hands behind her back, and walked quite ladylike to the counter. She looked up at the time with a bright smile.
She is only about eleven or twelve years old and not even 1.4 meters tall. She is a little girl, but even so, her features are already exquisite enough, like a princess.
Shi Chen leaned over the counter, looking down at her, and asked, "How did you know I was back?"
"I also follow Chizuka-nee's Twitter account~"
Hoshino Ai proudly took out her phone and handed it to Shichen to show her the screen, which showed a photo of Shichen sitting lazily behind the cashier.
The photos Chizuka Nishiki took of him were really casual, but thankfully, no angle affected his image.
"Are you that free?" Shi Chen shook his head.
Nothing much has happened lately.
Hoshino Ai put away her phone, walked around the counter, and came to the clock.
"Aren't you in school? Isn't today Friday?"
Shi Chen looked at the little girl, blinked, and without any hesitation, picked her up and put her on his lap.
He knew Hoshino Ai's true purpose, so there was no need for him to be polite.
Hoshino Ai didn't resist, obediently sitting on his lap, turning back to look at him with a smile, teasingly saying, "Tokimitsu, you really are a lolicon, aren't you? So eager to get your hands on her?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Didn't you want to learn my skills? This is tuition."
"Alright, alright, anyway, you won't refuse my request for the time of day~"
"Go on~ answer my question quickly." Shi Chen flicked her forehead in an annoyed tone.
"Um... my identity hasn't been resolved yet, so I can't go to school," Hoshino Ai replied nonchalantly, rubbing her forehead.
"Your immigration status hasn't been resolved yet? Do you still want to go to school?"
"I don't really care about that, but the agency is going to be really busy lately, so I probably won't be able to go to school, right?"
"I'm asking for your opinion." Shi Chen stared into her bright, starry eyes.
"I?"
Hoshino Ai paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Tokimitsu, can you help me?"
"That's an easy thing for me."
"Really? That's amazing... So, are you going to let me go to school?"
"Don't ask me." Shi Chen raised his hand and pinched her smooth cheek.
"Hmm... I understand, I want to go to school, okay?"
"That's more like it." Shi Chen released his hand with satisfaction.
"What about the agency? And what about the practice sessions?"
"I can help you with the agency, but as for the practice, that's up to you."
"Huh?"
"What? You're not going to be my pusher anymore? You're not going to make me fall for you?" Shichen asked with a smile.
"That's impossible, I'm going to completely conquer you."
"Then keep working hard, believe in yourself, you are definitely a born idol."
"I didn't expect you to trust me so much, Toki... Hehe~ Is it because you're a lolicon?" Hoshino Ai teased with a smile.
"You little loli, you have nothing to offer, I have no interest in you."
"Lolis are supposed to be flat-chested, okay! Who's like Yoshino and the others!" Hoshino Ai retorted, unconvinced.
"You also know Yoshino? Do you come here often?"
"I'll come when I'm bored sometimes~" Hoshino Ai replied truthfully.
"You can still remember Yoshino?"
"You actually know I have a bad memory? But Yoshino is so cute and delicate that I can easily remember her. I remember all the girls in this shop!" Hoshino Ai proudly put her hands on her hips.
"Really? You're pretty impressive."
"Of course!"
"Then you can come here often in the future."
"I'll be busy from now on, and you won't be around..."
"Does it matter whether I'm here or not? I won't teach you those skills until you become a dazzling idol~"
"That's not what I'm after. Meeting often can improve our relationship, you know?"
"Small in stature but big in wisdom..."
Shi Chen vigorously rubbed her head, then lifted her up and put her down: "Let's go, to your office."
"Huh? Really?" Hoshino Ai blinked and asked in a daze.
"Would I lie to you? I'll go and discuss it with your potential guardian."
"Do you really want me to go to school?"
"Studying is still important for you, and you don't need to worry about the unfamiliar environment. The four of them are here too," Shi Chen said gently, trying to comfort you.
"Yeah?"
"Then let's go." Shi Chen extended his hand to her.
"I really can't do anything with you. Since you put it that way..."
Hoshino Ai sighed, placed her right hand on Tokimatsu's hand, and gave him a bright smile: "Then I'll take you to the agency."
After saying that, Hoshino Ai took Tokishi's hand and walked towards the door.
"Chizuka, I'm going out for a bit. Could you tell Tohru for me?"
"Brother Chen, where are you going?" Jinmu Qian Shu, who was delivering food, paused and looked at him to ask.
Inoue Takina came over and took the things she wanted to deliver.
"Let's go see our idol," Shi Chen replied without turning his head.
"Huh?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll be right back."
"Okay, then come back soon, Brother Chen."
"it is good."
Shichen didn't change his clothes and left the coffee shop with Hoshino Ai, who then led him away.
Hoshino Ai was still holding his hand, walking slightly ahead of him with light steps: "By the way, Toki, aren't you going to name your coffee shop?"
"A name?" Shi Chen raised an eyebrow; that was a good suggestion.
The coffee shop is not just a coffee shop, it's also her home, his home, and their home. How can it not have a name?
"Yes, wouldn't it be better to have a name?"
"That's true... Let's give it a name then." Shichen nodded.
"I can help you think of a name!"
"So what name do you plan to choose?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"How about calling it 'Toki Ai Coffee Shop'?" Hoshino Ai asked directly.
..turn down."
"Huh? Why? Isn't this name quite nice?"
"I knew you wouldn't come up with any good names."
"But I might change my name to this in the future~" Hoshino Ai smiled playfully at Tokimitsu.
"That's for later." Shi Chen did not deny it.
Speaking of which, Kanna's registered full name is Shi Kanna, and Thor also has his surname in it.
Kanna, Thor. The full names sound a bit strange, but Thor is very satisfied with them, and Kanna doesn't mind either.
After all, using his surname implies that he is his family member, or even his wife.
Chizuka Nishiki was envious for a long time back then.
But in the future, they might eventually take his surname.
Hoshino Ai's office is quite far away, and you have to take the train. It's a wonder her caregiver is comfortable letting her come out alone.
It's also possible that she snuck out.
After all, she has a cell phone, so it's convenient to notify her if something happens.
This time, I didn't encounter any unexpected situations while riding the tram, nor did I run into Lycoris.
After the train arrived at the station, Hoshino Ai pulled Tokishi off the train, and after leaving the platform, they arrived at the office not long after.
It's a two-story building with a rather ordinary exterior, and there's a nameplate next to the door that reads "Ichigo Production Co., Ltd."
"This is my agency!" Hoshino Ai introduced with a bright smile.
"Do you live here too?" Shi Chen asked casually, looking around the office.
"Yes," Hoshino Ai nodded in reply.
"And where is your caregiver?"
"This is their home, so naturally they live here too... Oh~ I know what you mean, Toki. Don't worry, I sleep alone." Hoshino Ai gently patted Toki's thigh and replied with a smile.
No, you don't know.
"Hmph~ I already know about Shichen's possessiveness."
"I can't be bothered with you, let's go upstairs." Shi Chen shook his head and walked into the office first.
"Heh heh, are you embarrassed now that I hit the nail on the head?" Hoshino Ai followed up.
"It's really not that... I was just thinking about whether it would be possible for you to stay at my place," Shi Chen confessed helplessly.
"Oh, so that's what it is. But it's quite a long way."
"Have you forgotten my abilities? You know Thor, don't you?"
"I know her! She's the Dragon Maid!"
"That's right, she has the same ability as me, she can bring you here in the morning."
"Wouldn't that be too much trouble?"
"What's the trouble if it's just a few seconds? Besides, since you're staying with me, you can go to school with Yoshino and the others from now on."
"Oh~ that's a very appealing reason."
"Would you like to stay at my place?"
"Well... I don't think I should tell the president, since he's the one who brought me here. It's like I'm finding someone new."
"If you don't know how to use words, then don't use them!" Shi Chen swung his hand and chopped her on the head.
"Ouch...it hurts~" Hoshino Ai's cute lips.
"I'm doing this to make things easier for you. How about this, I'll try to persuade your company president."
"Really? Can you convince me?"
"I can convince you."
