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

Rencai gritted her teeth, staring at the rising sun with a gloomy expression, her voice filled with strong resistance.

"Mr. Hiraishi, are you also planning to mention me?"

Seeing how sensitive Renai was, Asahi could only sigh and say helplessly.

"After all, your father doesn't seem to be the kind of person who is unreasonable and domineering. Although he has a bit of a teacher's demeanor, he can listen to people."

However, Nina raised her voice instead, her tone filled with dissatisfaction and long-suppressed emotions.

"That's because Mr. Hiraishi is an outsider and doesn't know what the situation is!"

Hearing what Nina said, Asahi smiled and slowly reached out to touch Nina's head to comfort her, but she quickly avoided it. Despite Nina's resistance, Asahi wasn't angry and simply continued gently.

"Or perhaps it's because you have a prejudice against your father?"

These words seemed to ignite a fuse in Nina's heart. She abruptly stood up, her gaze fixed angrily on Asahi, her tone sharp and barbed: "So, in the end, Mr. Hiraishi just wants to kick me out so he can do *that* with this guy in the room, right? Fine, I'll do it then."

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap interrupted Rencai's words, and the air in the room instantly froze.

"Wake up!"

Kotone glared angrily at Renna, her hands trembling slightly. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with pressure. "I don't care about joking around with you earlier, but if you insult the manager because of it, I'll never forgive you! He may be a lecher, a scumbag, a pushover, and a complete idiot... but..."

Qin Yin's voice trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and continued, "If you really think the shop manager is the kind of person you just described, I hope you break off all ties with him immediately! I don't want to see ingrates around the shop manager! ... I've finished speaking. If you want to slap me back..."

"Snapped!"

Without hesitation, Nina slapped Kotone back.

"Hey! People in this situation usually reflect on their actions, they don't actually fight back!"

Qin Yin covered her face in disbelief, her voice tinged with grievance.

"Who cares about you!"

Nina retorted defiantly, "How dare you slap me! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

As she spoke, Nina suddenly lunged at Kotone, and the two instantly began to wrestle.

The situation developed far too quickly. From the moment Kotone made her move to Nina's counterattack, only a few seconds had passed. Asahi's brain went blank for a moment, and he stood there stunned, unable to react.

"Hey! Stop hitting him!"

Finally regaining his senses, Chaoyang quickly got out of bed and took a few steps forward to try to separate the two who were wrestling.

"Stop! You two!"

Chaoyang tried to grab Qinyin's arm and pull Rencai with his other hand, but the two ignored his attempts to stop them and fought even more fiercely, turning the small room into chaos.

"Let go of me! I'm going to teach her a lesson!"

Kotone shouted angrily, trying to break free from Asahi's grasp while reaching out to grab Rencai's face.

"You're the one who let go! You were the one who started it!"

Nina, not to be outdone, fought back fiercely. Neither of them yielded an inch, as if they were truly going to have a "life-or-death duel."

However, Chaoyang did it to save Qinyin.

"Kotone, give up! If I don't stop you, you'll be beaten to death! I swear! You really will be beaten to death by Nina!"

The second Lakshir ceremony was interrupted by the powerful intervention of the rising sun; otherwise, the music would probably have been revisited only in the next life.

at this time.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang crisply in the room, and the previously noisy room instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Renna and Kotone stopped pulling at each other, while Asahi remained in the same position as when he had grabbed them. The three of them looked at each other, and the only sound in the room was their gradually calming breathing.

"...You two, keep it down, don't make any noise."

Chaoyang lowered his voice and carefully released his hand, signaling the two not to do anything rash.

However, the sound coming from outside the door made the atmosphere in the room even more tense.

"Hello, I am Rencai's father. I need your help. Could you please come out for a moment?"

Rencai's face turned deathly pale. Just a moment ago she had been full of fighting spirit, but now she seemed to have been paralyzed, her whole body stiffening.

"It's all your fault for making too much noise. See, your father found out."

"It's all your fault! You're kinder than anyone else who bullies me, yet you dared to lay a hand on me!"

As they talked, the two started interlocking their fingers and wrestling again.

"You two idiots, that's enough! You've already fought three times in the short time we've met... I'll go check on things and try to handle it. If it really comes down to it, Nina, you can hide under the bed. If your father finds you in my room, he'll definitely call the police. You're a minor! I'll be charged with child abduction, whether you agree or not!"

After swallowing hard, Chaoyang shouted loudly towards the entrance.

"Ah! Coming right now. Sorry, I was talking to my sister and didn't hear you."

Feeling confused, Nina muttered under her breath, "Little sister?"

"Never mind that, it's just a little story to fool your dad anyway..."

After Qin Yin tugged at Ren Cai, she also whispered to her that the two little ones were pulling at each other from one side to the other. They had just been fighting, but now they were like good sisters.

"Why do you guys have to talk to him for no reason?"

“It was your dad who initiated the conversation with us! He made up a story just to avoid trouble.”

. .

As he opened the door, he was greeted by Nina's father, whom he had just met. However, unlike his previous gentle demeanor, Nina's father did not smile at all. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of indifference and scrutiny.

A sense of foreboding rose in Chaoyang's heart, but he remained polite and asked tentatively.

"Hello, it's nice to see you again. How can I help you?"

Rencai's father was silent for a few seconds, then said in a low voice.

"Would it be convenient to talk outside? There are some things that are not suitable to be discussed here."

He paused, his gaze sharp as he stared at the rising sun. "I don't want to be too forceful, since I don't know the specifics, but as parents, we can't just ignore our children's problems. I hope you understand. If you're a reasonable adult, you should know what this means."

Chaoyang's heart sank.

Ha, so I was exposed after all? I should have stopped those two from causing trouble... Oh well, maybe subconsciously I never intended to stop them anyway?

He sighed softly and nodded in reply.

"okay, I get it."

After speaking, Asahi glanced back at the closed door, gently closed it, and then followed Renna's father out of the apartment. The two remained silent the entire way, the atmosphere heavy with tension.

Before long, the two arrived at a nearby park. The early summer breeze rustled the leaves, and there was a slight chill in the air.

Rencai's father stopped and turned to face the rising sun. His face remained expressionless, and his voice was calm and deep.

"I'll get straight to the point. What's your relationship with that girl, Rencai?"

Chaoyang had already anticipated this question. He didn't show any surprise, but instead gave a wry smile and shrugged.

"Well... it's a bit complicated, but I can tell you it's definitely not the kind of relationship you're thinking of."

He paused, his tone becoming slightly more serious.

"Right now, she's just a troublesome brat who likes to cause me trouble. In my eyes, she's also grumpy, stubborn, and doesn't listen to advice. But even so... she has a more upright set of values ​​than anyone I've ever met."

Upon hearing Asahi's evaluation of his daughter, Renna's father's expression changed slightly, but he remained silent, as if waiting for Asahi to continue.

Seeing this, Chaoyang smiled slightly and continued.

"Hehe, I seem to have gone a bit off-topic... Actually, to be precise, Nina is now signed with my agency and is one of our artists. Because of her age and special status, she's currently being taken care of by me."

As he spoke, Chaoyang took out his phone from his pocket, tapped it several times, and then handed it to Rencai's father.

"This is the content of the contract when we signed it. There is a clear agreement that requires her to attend classes normally and not to neglect her studies. So, although she may have said something strange to you, please rest assured that she will not be spoiled by me. I will supervise her and correct her biased ideas."

Rencai's father took the phone, looked down and carefully looked through it, his expression gradually softening.

Chapter 175 If Fathers Switched, I'll Show You What Cruelty Is!

After Rencai's father finished reading the contract on Chaoyang's phone, he nodded slightly, returned the phone to Chaoyang, and showed a hint of approval on his face.

"Hmm... It's impeccable. From an educator's perspective, there's nothing wrong with this contract, provided it's followed..."

Upon hearing this, Chaoyang smiled slightly, his tone suddenly becoming somewhat confident and lighthearted.

"Actually, I'm a sucker for academic achievements. I'm planning to have Nina apply to Keio University! Waseda's atmosphere is terrible; the university students just drink all day long... Going to Aoyama is also good; it's my alma mater with lots of handsome men and beautiful women, and the environment is nice too... As for undergraduate studies, I'll consider..."

Before Asahi could finish speaking, Renna's father showed a slightly surprised expression, clearly taken aback by Asahi's boastful talk. He adjusted his glasses, seemingly pondering Asahi's words, but ultimately just coughed lightly, his tone regaining its composure.

"In short, we hope you can arrange for Nina to meet with us and talk... In any case, her behavior this time was simply too much."

Chaoyang put away his phone, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"I have a way to force her to meet you, but it might make Nina hate you even more. Is that alright?"

Rencai's father paused for a moment, but then nodded firmly.

"...It's alright. Some things can only be clarified in person."

"Then... I can tell you that you threatened me, saying you would call the police and have me arrested if I didn't meet you."

Rencai's father shook his head and said.

"...I already had this thought. After all, it's unacceptable for a parent to have an underage girl living in someone else's home. I hope you can pass this on to Nina."

. .

Inside the sunny room.

A strange sense of tension filled the air.

Kotone and Nina sat slumped on the floor, facing each other, heads bowed, both filled with unease, wondering what fate awaited them as the sun rose outside the door.

Qin Yin pursed her lips, and finally couldn't help but break the silence, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance and worry.

"...If the store manager gets arrested, I'll never forgive you!"

Upon hearing Koto's words, Nina lost the strength to retort and appeared somewhat distracted. She responded softly.

"Y-probably not... Oh, what if I really get arrested... A letter of forgiveness... Yes, a letter of forgiveness... I'll search for it online..."

As she spoke, Renna took out her phone, her fingers flying across the screen as she began searching for relevant legal information. After a while, a flicker of hesitation followed by determination crossed her face, as if she had finally found a "solution."

"...If Mr. Hiraishi really gets arrested for kidnapping...and there's really no other way...I'll...I'll marry him! A legal marriage doesn't count as kidnapping!"

Rencai's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a mosquito's buzz, but the room was so quiet that the piano music could still be heard clearly.

"Aha!?"

Qin Yin's eyes widened suddenly, and she instantly bristled, "Don't even think about it! The shop manager's reservation is for after my idol graduates and we get married!"

Upon hearing this, Renna's face immediately showed a look of embarrassment and anger, and her tone became sharp.

"Ha! What kind of idol are you? Already thinking about what happens after graduation? And who wants to steal him from you! I just... I just simply don't want to see Mr. Hiraishi go to jail unjustly, don't think I'm like you!"

Although she spoke with conviction, Nina's face was completely flushed. She dared not look at Kotone anymore and simply turned her back. However, images of herself in a pure white wedding dress standing next to Asahi, making her cheeks burn, uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.

Kotone stared at Renna's slightly trembling back, her teeth itching with anger. She clenched her fists, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She could only turn her face away and mutter to herself.

"Damn it... Why do these guys have such audacious ideas... Marriage and all that... I'm not ready for that yet..."

The room was silent, with only the two girls lost in their own thoughts, their faces flushed as if they were about to burst into flames.

However, Asahi quickly returned to the house. The moment he opened the door, he saw Kotone and Nina sitting back to back on the floor, their faces flushed, looking both embarrassed and awkward.

No, what were you guys playing after I left?

Chaoyang was full of doubts, but he didn't ask any questions and walked in directly.

"Mr. Hiraishi!"

"Store manager!"

Kotone and Nina stood up and shouted at the same time, their voices filled with urgency, as if the two who had just been arguing had suddenly reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Hmm... I've finally gotten rid of them, but I'm actually in trouble."

Chaoyang closed the door, his tone somewhat helpless, "Rin... if you don't meet with your parents, I'm really going to get arrested... this is a family member's crime, if they call the police..."

Upon hearing this, Renna's expression changed, clearly flustered, but she still stubbornly muttered in a low voice, "I, I don't want to see them..."

She fidgeted with the hem of her clothes with two fingers, her voice growing softer and softer as she stammered, "Then... then, if it really doesn't work..."
