Li Wei said, "That's right. Everything I do is for you and for myself. Becoming an idol is your dream, something you enjoy. If you put the cart before the horse and it makes you uncomfortable, then you should stop. After all, if an idol cares too much about what others or their fans think, they will eventually be held hostage by their own psychological burden, become more and more tired, and one day, they will collapse and have to leave the idol industry."

Li Wei believes that in this life, no one owes anyone anything, so don't worry too much about what others think, just do your own thing and live in the present.

Athena Asamiya is not one of those people who become idols for the sake of making a living. With him around, Athena Asamiya herself is not short of money and has no problems in life. So, she becomes an idol simply to fulfill her own dream.

Therefore, what Li Wei needs to do is to avoid putting psychological pressure on her as much as possible, and at the same time let her know that she doesn't owe anything to those complete strangers, and there's no need for her to add psychological burden to herself because of some trivial matters.

Athena Asamiya said with some disbelief, "Aren't idols supposed to exist to fulfill the wishes of their fans? Can this kind of self-centered existence really be called an idol?"

Li Wei said, "Athena, you let your work speak for itself, not just by trying to please your fans. As long as you don't make any obvious mistakes and don't have any bad habits that are unacceptable to ordinary people, then who can tell you what you like to do? Kindness is fine, but not everyone deserves to be treated kindly. You'll find that some of your fans aren't even good people. So what you need to do is not directly offend them. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll handle it for you."

It's 2020 now, and the internet hasn't really taken off yet, so dealing with a troll who likes to spout nonsense is much easier than dealing with an outsider, and the impact can be kept to a minimum.

In Li Wei's opinion, Athena Asamiya was too soft-hearted, and she hadn't realized how terrifying the evil in human nature could be.

Without his protection, Athena Asamiya's path to becoming an idol would definitely not have been smooth sailing. She would have suffered a lot of injustices and paid her dues before she would have known what she should do.

"Oh, Li Weijun, what you're saying sounds very profound, but I know you wouldn't harm me, so I'll listen to you," Athena Asamiya said with a smile.

Athena Asamiya stopped in front of a cotton candy stand, pointed at the cotton candy being made, and asked with expectant eyes, "Can I eat this?"

“Of course, but there are many better things to eat here, so why would you want this?” Li Wei asked with a smile.

“Because when my parents abandoned me, I was so scared that I cried my eyes out. My master saw me in the mountains and made me a cotton candy with the sugar he had with him, which stopped me from crying. So when I see cotton candy, I always think of many things.” Athena Asamiya smiled. She had faced her past and was able to deal with such sad things calmly.

Because of her own experiences, Athena Asamiya is more mature and sensible than her peers, but this maturity and sensibility is actually built on the fear of being abandoned and her inferiority complex.

It took Chin Gentsai several years to untangle Athena Asamiya's inner conflict, so that she wouldn't lose control of her emotions when she thought about being abandoned.

Li Wei gently rubbed Athena Asamiya's head and said, "Don't worry, I'm here with you now. I will make you the happiest girl in the world."

Athena Asamiya laughed and said, "I am already the happiest girl in the world."

After Li Wei paid, the cotton candy stall owner quickly made the cotton candy. Nowadays, cotton candy is becoming more and more fancy, and it can be made into all sorts of shapes. Originally, Li Wei only wanted to buy one for Athena Asamiya, but he couldn't resist and bought one for himself too.

A tall, handsome man with Araki-style lines on his face, holding a cute cotton candy, made even Li Wei feel a little embarrassed. He didn't care about other people's opinions, but when the whole street looked at him with expressions of "Oh, so you're this kind of tough guy," even Li Wei, whose skin was as thick as a city wall, couldn't quite handle it.

Athena Asamiya smiled as she looked at Li Wei's conflicted expression, secretly amused that even a "tough guy" like Li Wei could have such a cute and unexpected side.

"Ahem, I'm just reminiscing about my childhood. Yes, I really loved cotton candy when I was little, but now that I'm older, I'm too embarrassed to buy it anymore because it makes me seem like a child," Li Wei said, seemingly resigned to his fate.

Athena Asamiya laughed and said, "But I heard from Miss Manki that all men are childish, even if they are ten years old, they will act like a child."

Li Wei's lips twitched. He felt like he'd been tricked. He was that "old" guy who still liked playing with plastic figurines, and who, despite not knowing how to play Yu-Gi-Oh! Duels, still collected cards—a childish person.

Even now, when Li Wei passes by a model shop and sees the exquisitely crafted models of the ticket, he still looks at them with longing eyes like a child. Wan Gui's words, in a way, have turned him into a sieve.

Chapter 1. Sending Gifts Specially

The invisible camera created by Li Wei kept capturing beautiful photos of Athena Asamiya. It has to be said that when one's looks reach a certain level, there are truly no blind spots. No matter which angle you take the photo from, she looks beautiful.

In particular, Athena Asamiya, holding a half-eaten marshmallow, turned around, the wisps of fluff dancing in the air, and the bits of sugar residue stuck to the corners of her mouth, made her look even more adorable.

Cotton candy is just for show; it looks big, but it's actually just a small ball when you squeeze it. Before long, the two of them had finished their cotton candy.

Both of them were big eaters, so they embarked on a food-hunting journey, devouring all sorts of snacks. In addition, Athena Asamiya also tried shooting cans with an air gun. Her marksmanship was better than most people's, and even without using superpowers to cheat, she still won the prize: a soft, fluffy crab plush toy.

"It's almost dinner time before we know it. You ate so much food this afternoon, will you still be able to eat dinner?" Li Wei said.

The two were sitting on a bench with a pile of cardboard boxes next to them. This trash was all created by the two of them.

Athena Asamiya said with a slight blush, "After eating so much, I feel like I'm only half full."

Li Wei said, "Actually, I feel the same way. Is it because I feel embarrassed? Like, a girl eating too much or something?"

Athena Asamiya nodded without speaking. She always had a large appetite; after all, both the growth of her superpowers and martial arts training consumed a lot of nutrients. Therefore, her appetite was larger than that of an adult male, and eating the equivalent of several people's meals was nothing to her. If it weren't for Mai Shiranui and the others being there, she would have kept her food intake even smaller.

After all, with big eaters like Mai Shiranui around, her own big eater status won't stand out as much.

"But have you gained weight?" Li Wei laughed.

Athena Asamiya shook her head. She had a constitution where she could eat as much as she wanted without gaining weight. The nutrients from what she ate were used up by her daily superpowers and martial arts training. In addition, her daily exercise made her figure very well-proportioned, and her skin was also firmer than that of ordinary people because of the exercise.

"That's fine, as long as you don't gain weight, there's no problem. Okay, let's go back now, but we need to go back to the company first, since to outsiders, we should still be at the company," Li Wei said.

Athena Asamiya nodded, and the two found a small alley. Li Wei activated the teleportation, and the two figures instantly disappeared from the alley.

After all, Li Wei and Athena Asamiya had concealed their abilities from the outside world, which was why they needed to go back and check in first. After returning to the agency, Athena Asamiya changed into her usual clothes and got ready. Then, Li Wei took her away from the agency and teleported directly back to the Kagura family mansion.

Li Wei's mansion here could actually be completed in a day, but in order not to be too shocking, Li Wei had to delay it for a while so that the completion of the mansion would not seem so abrupt.

However, considering the time frame, completing the mansion in the next few days is a relatively suitable time. After all, Japan in this generation is known as an infrastructure powerhouse, so completing it at this point in time is still within the acceptable range for ordinary people.

Upon returning to the Kagura family mansion, the Fire Serpent Puppet rushed there. Li Weibei instructed the Fire Serpent Puppet to deliver the photograph to the Kingdom of Chong. Along with the photograph came a letter from Athena Asamiya to her master and senior brother.

The ever-changing fire serpent puppet, after changing its appearance, brazenly arrived at the Kagura family mansion and received Athena Asamiya's letter from Li Wei. As for the photographs, they were stored separately to avoid leaving any evidence.

The photos have been specially processed. After Kensou views the photos, they will be automatically destroyed. Even though Kensou has superpowers, he cannot prevent this.

After receiving the letter, the Fire Serpent Puppet used the teleportation beacon that its main body had set up in advance to travel directly to the town at the foot of Mount Lu. Since there is not much time difference between Japan and South Korea, it was the perfect time to send the letter over.

At this moment, the fire serpent puppet transformed into a middle-aged man in a black suit, driving a pre-prepared car into the town. At this time, the number of cars in the country was not high, and the number of luxury cars was extremely limited, so the new Mercedes-Benz that Li Wei had brought from the future attracted the attention of the town's residents.

The train puppet stopped the train outside Zhenyuanzhai's courtyard, got off, opened the tailgate, and took out various gifts that had been prepared in advance.

After dinner, Zhen Yuanzhai, who was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard, was somewhat surprised to see a car parked outside the courtyard.

Zhen Yuanzhai looked at the middle-aged man in a black suit who had knocked on the wooden fence of the courtyard, stood up from the folding chair, walked to the door, and said, "Young man, who are you looking for?"

The fire serpent puppet smiled politely and asked, "Are you Mr. Chin Gentsai?"

Zhen Yuanzhai, who was smoking a pipe, extinguished the pipe in his hand and said, "I am Zhen Yuanzhai."

The Fire Serpent Puppet said, "Then I haven't come to the wrong place. I have a letter from Miss Athena Asamiya to you, as well as some gifts. These gifts are all from Miss Athena's heartfelt wishes."

Zhen Yuanzhai was somewhat surprised and said, "I didn't expect this kid to still remember this old man. I'll accept the things. Have you had dinner yet?"

The Fire Serpent Puppet chuckled, "I just grabbed a quick bite in the car. After delivering the goods, I need to go back and report. By the way, is Mr. Chiken Takashi here? There are some things prepared for him."

Zhen Yuanzhai said, "He is inside. You will see him when you go in."

Fire Serpent Puppet nodded and carried all the gifts into the house. At the same time, he saw Chika Kensou watching TV. Chika Kensou also noticed Fire Serpent Puppet entering the house, turned around, and looked at the large and small bags, still somewhat dazed.

"Who are you?" Zhiquan Chong asked.

"Hello, Mr. Chikatsu, I'm here to deliver a gift for my boss. My boss's name is Li Wei. He visited here last time and sent an invitation. This time, I'm here to deliver a gift on his behalf. These are all gifts from Miss Athena," the Fire Serpent Puppet said with a smile.

Chiken-sou nodded. He still felt uneasy about Athena Asamiya leaving Okinawa. The thought of his beloved girl being with a strange man made him feel uneasy.

Upon learning that the person in front of him was sent by Li Wei to deliver gifts, he became even more displeased.

Chapter 1. I will take good care of Athena.

Kensou asked, "How is Athena doing in Japan?"

After the fire serpent puppet put down the gifts, it said, "Miss Athena is doing well in Japan, so please don't worry."

"Is that so..." Chikensou felt a tightness in his chest. He hated his own powerlessness, unable to even protect the girl he loved.

The Fire Serpent Puppet said, "By the way, my boss asked me to deliver something to you, Mr. Zhi. Please wait a moment."

Under Chika's gaze, the Fire Serpent Puppet took out a sealed brown paper bag from its pocket and placed it in front of Chika.

"What is this?" Chiken-sou asked in confusion.

"I don't know either. I only know that the boss asked me to give this to you, sir. I wouldn't dare to open the boss's things. Now that the item has been delivered, I'll take my leave," the Fire Serpent Puppet said with a smile.

Chikken-sou nodded and said, "Take care."

After watching the fire serpent puppet leave, Chikkensou could no longer suppress his curiosity and opened the brown paper bag, inside which were stacks of very clear photos.

“These photos…are Athena?!” Kensou Chika exclaimed in surprise.

The first photo shows Athena wearing a short kimono, holding a cotton candy, and smiling as she looks back. This moment was captured by the camera and became an eternal instant.

A stunning beauty overwhelmed him, and Chikashi Kensou felt his mind go blank. He hadn't expected that Athena Asamiya, after changing her clothes, would be so beautiful. It has to be said that Athena looked truly gorgeous in this outfit. Chikashi Kensou felt at a loss for words, searching his mind for a long time, but he still couldn't find any adjectives to describe Athena Asamiya's beauty.

Kensou felt he could keep this photo, because Athena Asamiya in it was simply too beautiful.

He pulled away the first photo and looked at the second one below. However, this second photo almost gave him a stroke, because it was a picture of Li Wei and Athena Asamiya embracing in the dance practice room. The two were pressed tightly together, their eyes locked, and the ambiguous atmosphere was almost overflowing.

Upon seeing this photo, Zhiquan Chong almost ground his teeth to powder; he clenched the first photo so tightly it crumpled.

Chikkencho suppressed his anger and continued looking. The following photos showed Li Wei and Athena Asamiya's ambiguous interactions in their daily lives. Looking at Athena Asamiya's shy expression in the photos, Chikkencho felt his heart bleeding.

Scenes of Li Wei and Athena Asamiya sitting on the corridor eating watermelon, the two holding hands in the courtyard, the two sitting on the roof admiring the moon, and the two leaning against the railing by the river, feeding the ornamental fish in the river.

For Kensou Chika, each of these photographs was like a sharp knife, piercing his heart and drawing blood.

The last photo shows a small note with the words "Athena is very happy. Brother Zhi, please rest assured, I will take good care of her and not let her suffer any injustice" written in a bold and elegant handwriting.

Upon seeing the words on the note, Chikensou completely lost it and kicked over the table next to him.

Zhi Quan Chong was panting heavily, his eyes bloodshot. He was like an enraged beast, ready to attack any living creature that appeared before him.

Just then, Chin Gentsai walked in and saw Chikensou venting his anger. He frowned and said, "What's wrong with you, brat! You overturned the table. How angry do you have to be to take it out on things?"

"Master, the photos!" Chiken Chong said unwillingly.

"What photo? What nonsense are you talking about?" Chin Gentsai paused, glanced around, and didn't see the photo Chikunsou was talking about.

Chikendsu looked around. The photos that had been flying everywhere were now completely gone. What he had just seen seemed like an illusion.

"Could it be a hallucination?" Chikensou scratched the back of his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Hmph, brat, I told you to watch less porn, you're hallucinating. Tomorrow's training load will be doubled," Zhen Yuanzhai said, glaring at him.

"Ah? Master, the training volume has already doubled this month! If it doubles again, people will die!" Chiken Chong cried out in despair.
