Crayon Shin-chan: As someone who's traveled through time, all I want is a huge reward!

Looking at the message above, which only indicated a white treasure chest, Lin Yu sighed.

Considering his current status, his approachability, and his teaching ability, coupled with his "naturally charming" skill, it's clear he's a formidable figure.

Most little girls, like Sakurada Nini, can reach a green level of affection after just a short interaction and a class period.

Surprisingly, when placed on Ai Sootome, it turned out to be just a white treasure chest.

It seems that boosting this child's popularity online isn't so easy.

But it doesn't matter, because this little girl will be coming to his house to study later, and they'll have plenty of time to interact.

Back in his office, Lin Yu continued to review the renovation plans.

Although we are about twenty years behind in our previous life, the high-end designs are in no way inferior.

Before long, it was time to go home from school.

After tidying up quickly, Lin Yu went to the door to prepare to ride his bike back.

A group of children were getting on a stroller.

"Teacher Lin, do you need a ride?"

Ai Suotome stood in front of a black limousine and waved at him.

"No need, I rode my bike here. You know where Shin-chan's house is, so I'll meet you at the door later."

"Good."

Otome Ai nodded as Lin Yu straddled the motorcycle, then suddenly looked at Hei Ji.

"Blackie, I want to ride back with Teacher Lin on his motorcycle. You can follow behind."

"Miss, the master instructed me to make sure you are safe."

Kuroki looked at Ai Sootome with a troubled expression and said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Lin Yu chuckled and said, "It's alright, it's alright. Xiao Ai, why don't you take the car with us? We can talk about it another time if there's a chance."

Ai Sootome nodded. "I understand. Let's go then."

Blackie nodded gratefully to Lin Yu. As a driver, taking care of a little girl can be quite difficult at times, especially when it comes to requests like this.

If things go wrong and Suotome really dislikes me, I might lose my job.

[Ding! Blackie's favorability has increased. You have obtained 1 Green Treasure Chest.]

Lin Yu secretly gave himself a thumbs up. Not bad.

Blackie is a grateful person.

Riding his bike, Lin Yu arrived home in no time.

After parking the car, Lin Yu opened the gate and tidied up the previously unused parking space to make it easier for Heiji to park later.

Having done all this, the black sedan that Sootome loved to ride in arrived at the door.

"This way."

Lin Yu greeted them, and the car slowly drove into the garage.

"Teacher Lin, this is my first time visiting your home. It was a bit rushed and I didn't prepare anything. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

After opening the car door for Ai Suotome, Heiji quickly ran to the trunk, took out a gift box, and politely said to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu glanced at it; the gift box was exquisitely packaged, and judging from its appearance, it was probably something like tea, which seemed to be quite valuable.

"Then I won't be polite."

Bringing souvenirs or similar gifts is a Japanese tradition, so Lin Yu didn't stand on ceremony.

After taking the items, Lin Yu invited the two into the house.

Xiaochun heard the commotion outside and was already waiting in the entryway.

Lin Yu was immediately shocked when he opened the door and saw Xiao Chun's attire.

Because when he left home in the morning, Xiaochun was dressed normally, but now she was wearing a black and white maid outfit and was kneeling gently in the entrance hall, welcoming him home.

"Ah Yu, you're back."

"What...what's wrong with you?"

Lin Yu looked at Xiao Chun with a face full of question marks, somewhat bewildered.

Although Xiaochun is very beautiful and has a kind of temperament that makes people want to cherish her, she looks even more touching after wearing this outfit.

But Lin Yu remembered that there was no such thing at home!

Where did this maid outfit come from?

Could it be that Xiaochun went out while I was away and picked out this outfit herself?

Seeing Lin Yu's surprised expression, Xiao Chun asked somewhat nervously.

"What's wrong, Yu? Is it not good-looking?"

"No, it's very beautiful, but I don't remember having this dress at home."

"Mrs. Nohara brought this after hearing my idea, saying it would make it seem more professional, and Ayu would be happy to see it too."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu was speechless for a moment.

If it were Nohara Misae, it wouldn't be impossible for her to do something like that.

At least when it comes to needlework, Misae Nohara is quite skilled. For example, the various clothes that Shinnosuke Nohara often takes out are all made by her at home.

Chapter 184 brings a small shock to Ai Sootome.

"Teacher Lin, is this your maid?"

As soon as Ai Sōotome entered, she asked curiously.

They do have maids in their household, but I didn't expect Lin Yu's family to have them too.

Ordinary families would naturally not have access to such specialized services.

"Not a woman..."

Lin Yu was about to deny it, but he did not regard Xiao Chun as a maid.

"Yes, miss. My name is Xiaochun, and I am a maid in the Yu family. Welcome to our home."

Before she could finish speaking, Tsubaki naturally took over the conversation, smiling as she spoke to Ai Sootome, clearly already deeply involved.

"I haven't been a maid for long, so please forgive me if I haven't been able to provide the best service."

Kotsubaki smiled politely at Ai Sootome.

"Cough cough."

Seeing this, Lin Yu quickly said, "This is Xiao Chun, my friend. This...this is her hobby, she's not a real maid."

Lin Yu never had such a condescending attitude towards people; he always treated Xiao Chun with an equal attitude.

"It's okay, I'm happy just the way I am."

Xiao Chun didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile.

"So this is ah."

Ai Sootome didn't dwell on this matter much; her main target was Lin Yu.

"Then I'll take my leave of you, Teacher Lin."

Bringing Ai Suotome into the living room, Tsubaki greeted Ai Suotome and Kuroki politely.

"Please let me know what you two would like to drink."

"No need to be polite, I have everything I need, just ask for it."

Some things can't be hidden, especially since you'll be in long-term contact with Ai Sootome in the future. Things like food and tablecloths definitely don't need to be concealed.

Plain water is fine.

Blackie spoke very politely, clearly not wanting to cause any trouble.

"Can I have some soft drink? I'd like to try some..."

Ai looked at Lin Yu with some anticipation. At home, no matter what food or drink she had, she always got the best.

Especially for common foods, there are very few opportunities to come into contact with them.

Today, perhaps we can let her give it a try.

"We have many kinds of soda. Which one would you like to drink?"

"Then... Coke?"

"No problem, one Coke and one water."

Xiao Chun blinked, then looked at the food tablecloth and said with a smile.

Otome looked at her with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she meant.

Xiaochun smiled but didn't explain anything.
