My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

His voice carried a complex mix of emotions.

"Like I said at the beginning, you don't have the talent to be an idol. I signed you half out of pity and half because you are really cute. I'm a very lecherous person. When I see something beautiful, I want to possess it without feeling any guilt. If I really get you completely, I don't know what will happen afterward. When I get tired of you... I might just throw you away."

He paused for a moment, then turned to look at her.

"I've already had an ambiguous relationship with other idols, so now..."

Before he could finish speaking, S Zeguang suddenly stood up, tiptoed, and gently kissed his lips.

"...The producer and I are a perfect match."

She said in a low voice, a triumphant smile playing on her lips.

"Sure. If you want to dump me, go ahead and do so... A woman you just want to play around with isn't so bad."

Just then, a notification sound came from the steamer, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the room.

"beep"

It's a reminder that it's time to enjoy the delicious food as the sun rises.

. .

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the bed in the short-term rental apartment room.

The roar of vehicles and the laughter of elementary school students on their way to school gradually rose from the street outside the apartment.

There was movement on the bed in the room.

"......call......"

"Um......"

Chaoyang groggily opened his eyes, the ceiling still feeling somewhat unfamiliar. He instinctively stretched, but immediately felt a weight on his chest and warm breath. He looked down and saw S Zeguang fast asleep on his chest, his long, soft hair cascading over his skin, his gentle breathing rising and falling softly like a lazy kitten.

Memories of last night flooded his mind, and Chaoyang couldn't help but sigh. His hand involuntarily rested on her smooth back, feeling the softness of her skin; the touch made him feel somewhat lost.

Chaoyang frowned slightly, shook his head, and tried to drive away those complicated thoughts.

Just then, S Zeguang, who was lying on his chest, seemed to wake up. She raised her head, looked at the rising sun with sleepy eyes, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Good morning... Producer..."

Good morning, Hiroshi.

Chaoyang reached out and ruffled her hair, his tone tinged with a hint of helplessness, and asked:

"How are you feeling? Do you need to take a day off?"

S Zeguang propped himself up, leaning lazily against Chaoyang's shoulder, a mischievous smile on his lips.

"...It's nothing...I heard that boys usually do this in the morning...Hmm, it seems to be true..."

Her gaze unconsciously drifted in a certain direction, her tone carrying a hint of meaningful provocation.

"...Do you need my help to solve this?"

Chaoyang paused for a moment, then smiled, shook his head, and gently flicked her forehead.

"No need, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. I almost exhausted you in bed last night, so you should just rest and recover. It was just a physiological reaction, I didn't really mean anything by it."

S Zeguang chuckled softly, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery and satisfaction.

"Hehe, what will the future hold? It's really exciting... Hey, producer."

"...Hiroshi, I might buy a villa later. Would you like to move in then?"

S Zeguang had gotten off him and was lying beside him. He blinked gently and answered in his usual calm tone.

"Sure..."

Upon hearing this answer, Chaoyang couldn't help but smile wryly and reached out to pinch her cheek.

"It sounds like you've never refused me... I'm curious, what is it about me that you like?"

S Zeguang was silent for a moment, then smiled softly and said in a low voice.

"I guess... this is love at first sight. If the producer hadn't sent me to the infirmary, things might not have turned out this way."

Chaoyang paused for a moment, recalling his first encounter with S Zeguang, and a complex smile appeared on his lips.

"Don't blame me if you regret it later."

S Zeguang slowly sat up, leaning on Chaoyang's shoulder, his eyes revealing a tenderness and dependence.

"I'm not good at talking, I'm not good at expressing myself, I'm physically weak and easily collapse, only you, producer, accepted me... and made me your idol. I've always been happy to be with you. I think I've become a community with you, producer."

Hearing this, Chaoyang sighed softly, raised his hand to pat her head, his tone both teasing and slightly serious:

"Is that so? Then you'd better take good care of yourself... I'll become more and more depraved and perverted in the future, so you'd better be mentally prepared."

S Zeguang lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head to meet his gaze, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

"Sigh... I'll prepare."

. .

After sending S Zeguang to Chuxing Academy, Chaoyang also went to work at the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Chaoyang sat back at his workstation, where neatly arranged documents and memos lay on the table, but he had no interest in handling any tasks.

He rested his chin on his hand, his mind filled with the recent string of "delicious feasts," and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"Ha... I feel like I've been eating too well lately? First Chisato (not in the main series yet), then Hiro..."

He was talking to himself unconsciously, even his voice sounding tired and languid. Suddenly, he looked up, his expression changing slightly, and continued muttering to himself with a self-deprecating tone:

"I hope I'm not going to just kick the bucket like this...."

Just then, he heard a soft call from beside him.

"President?"

"Ok?"

Chaoyang looked up and saw that one of the company's employees was standing next to him, holding a stack of reports.

"There are several reports that require your confirmation..."

Chaoyang glanced down and instantly felt his headache worsen. He waved his hand casually, his tone lazy and impatient:

"...Put it on Ms. Toyokawa's workstation, and put my stamp there too. Then she can stamp it."

The employee paused for a moment, then asked cautiously:

"President, are you... feeling unwell today?"

Chaoyang nodded, sighed, and leaned back in his chair, clutching his forehead.

"Yes, I'm not feeling well today, I'll head back now."

Chapter 172: The exposure happened too quickly (Fujita Kotone)

As soon as Chaoyang stepped out of the tram station, he saw Fujita Kotone standing at the exit. She had her arms crossed in front of her chest, her lips puffed out like a pucker, and she looked utterly unhappy. Because it was a weekday morning, and the station was a small, remote one, few people were getting off, making Kotone stand out conspicuously.

Chaoyang paused for a moment, inwardly groaning.

Hmm... No way, the news leaked out so quickly? ... Even if it did leak, it wouldn't happen this fast...

He quickly calmed down and recalled that he had anticipated this situation and had prepared some "remedies" in advance. Although he didn't expect to need them so soon, it was always better to be prepared.

After slightly adjusting his expression, Chaoyang resumed his pace, walked over casually, and greeted Qinyin with a smile:

"Hey, good morning, Kotone. Why didn't you go to school today?"

Qin Yin's gaze instantly locked onto Chao Yang, her eyes filled with accusation and anger, and her voice noticeably rose a few decibels:

"If I go back to school, my house will get robbed!"

"what?"

Chaoyang looked completely bewildered.

"Manager! Did you spend the night out with Xiao Guang?!"

Qin Yin angrily questioned, "Yesterday, D-Ji went to look for Xiao Guang last night, but she wasn't in the dorm. This morning, someone saw you bringing her back to school from outside! When we asked Xiao Guang, she wouldn't say anything. It's obvious something's going on!"

Chaoyang's heart skipped a beat, but he forced himself to remain calm and put on a puzzled expression.

"...Hmm? Even so..."

"I'm not done yet!"

Qin Yin continued her accusation, her voice tinged with grievance, "I heard at the firm that you had gone home, so I took a taxi to your apartment, but no one was there. I thought maybe you took the tram back, so I waited for you here..."

She paused, her eyes slightly red, "Manager, have you betrayed me?"

Qin Yin's face darkened completely.

"Wait, Qinyin, look in the mirror! Your face looks absolutely terrifying!"

So cute... I want to keep it for life...

He accidentally blurted out those words.

"what?"

The woman, caught up in her emotions, didn't hear a thing, but passersby heard it perfectly. One person glanced back and muttered under their breath, "Damn it, showing off their love in broad daylight!"

Hearing this, Chaoyang's lips twitched, but he was too lazy to explain and continued to soothe the still sulking Qinyin in front of him.

"What exactly is going on between you and Xiao Guang?!"

The zither music suddenly stopped, the person looked up and questioned, a hint of grievance in their eyes.

"Hmm... I guess it's because he can't bear to leave her, so he plans to take care of her for the rest of his life."

Chaoyang answered without any hesitation.

Qin Yin's pupils dilated slightly, and her voice unconsciously lowered a few decibels.

"...And what about me?"

Her tone carried a hint of unease and a hidden expectation.

"You too..."

Chaoyang smiled gently and looked earnestly into her eyes. "I will stay with you for the rest of my life. I have restructured your debts, and now you have unlimited potential. I don't want those messy things to hinder your development."

Qin Yin was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks quickly turned red. She bit her lip and stomped her foot in dissatisfaction.

"Here we go again! You always say things like this out of the blue... And I've already said it, I have to pay my own debts! I don't want to be a woman bought with money!"

"I know, so I'm just making sure you don't have to pay such high interest rates anymore."

Chaoyang nodded to her and continued speaking in a very calm tone.

“Your interest rate was unreasonable from the beginning; in fact, you have already paid a lot more than you should have.”

This whole thing was made possible thanks to Xingnan, who connected us with a reputable law firm. I bet they were a bit stunned when they took the case – contacting them for such a small amount of money… Anyway, thank you, Xingnan!

Chaoyang silently expressed his gratitude for the support from the top idol.

"Xingnan also helped with this matter."

He added casually.

"The... president?"

Qin Yin was clearly somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, although she did get a little creepy when she saw you, that's just her usual way of expressing herself."

Sigh... As payment for helping, I also have to teach her how to get along with Qinyin.

Chaoyang took a deep breath, suppressing the faint guilt in his heart, and continued to add in a calm tone.

“I respect you and won’t interfere with your excessive debt. After all, your family’s debt was indeed incurred because of your high tuition fees, and that is your own responsibility. If you can’t pay it off yourself, this matter will forever remain a thorn in your side, affecting your future.”

Qin Yin stared at him blankly, the slight grievance in her eyes gradually turning into understanding, and softly called out a name.

"Store manager..."

"I know this might be a little unfair to Xiao Guang, but I've already made it clear to her how much you mean to me. Even so, she agreed... Since that's the case, I don't intend to abandon her. To put it bluntly, perhaps it's precisely because I don't want to jeopardize your future possibilities that I've accepted her."

However, this does not mean she is your replacement, or anything similar.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Yin's heartstrings were suddenly plucked, and her lips trembled slightly. She should have been angry, but for some reason, she felt she shouldn't be.
