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 and obediently sat 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."

"Go on~ answer my question quickly." Shi Chen flicked her forehead in an annoyed tone.

"Hmm... my identity hasn't been resolved yet, so I can't go to school," Hoshino Ai replied nonchalantly, rubbing her forehead.

"Your identity hasn't been resolved yet? Do you still want to go to school?"

"I don't really care about that, but the firm is going to be very busy lately, so I probably won't be able to go to school."

"I'm asking for your opinion." Shi Chen stared into her bright, starry eyes.

"I?"

Hoshino Ai paused for a moment, then smiled: "Tokimatsu, 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 face.

"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 there's the practice."

"I can help you with the agency, but as for the practice, you'll have to do it yourself."

"Eh?"

"What? You're not going to be my pusher anymore? You're not going to make me fall for you?" Shi Chen 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?"

"Toki, 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 quite 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 doing it for. Meeting up often can improve our relationship, you know?"

"Small in stature but big in talent..."

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 you about finding a guardian."

"You really want me to go to school?"

“Studying is still important for you, and don’t worry about the unfamiliar environment. Yoshino and the others are here too,” Tokiko said softly.

"is it?"

"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.

"Eh?"

"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… then let’s give it a name.” Shi Chen 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 nice?"

"I knew you wouldn't come up with a good name."

“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 by the door—Ichigo Production Co., Ltd.

"This is my agency!" Hoshino Ai introduced with a bright smile.

"Do you live here too?" Shi Chen asked casually as he looked 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.

"Hmph, are you embarrassed because I hit the nail on the head?" Hoshino Ai followed him.

"No, it's not that... I was just wondering if it was possible for you to stay with me," 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."

"Would it be too much trouble?"

"What's the trouble if it's just a few seconds? Besides, if you stay at my place, 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 can really tell the president this, 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.
