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

Chaoyang hadn't seen her for a while. Since he told her to exercise more, they had kept in touch from time to time but hadn't seen each other much. The time hadn't been long, about a week.

"The kitchen at Taoxiang is now in your hands."

"Hey, so you're off picking up girls already?"

"Nonsense, if I don't keep an eye on her, I'm afraid she'll fall apart."

. .

Chaoyang brought two drinks to S Zeguang. In front of her was a pile of papers covered with dense writing.

Chaoyang put down her drink and stared at her for a long time, still not understanding what she was up to.

"Hey producer, what do you think my chances are of becoming an idol?"

"Hmm? Become what? You already are, aren't you? You're just not popular yet."

"I see, that makes sense."

S Zeguang nodded, rubbing his chin.

"Producer, in order to become a successful idol, I watched idol videos and compiled some things that I want to show you."

At this moment, Chaoyang looked at Aiyin and asked with his eyes what Guang was up to.

Ai Yin shook her head helplessly.

"I did a lot of research so that the producer wouldn't abandon me."

After saying that, Guang pushed the pile of papers in front of him toward the rising sun.

"Wow... this is a thesis about idols? That's amazing..."

To be able to write this kind of thing into a thesis... truly a genius.

"Hmph... Don't praise me too much."

A soft blush spread across her cheeks. She lowered her head slightly, gently touching her chest, seemingly a little embarrassed, with a mixture of shyness and satisfaction.

However, Chaoyang immediately dealt her a blow.

"I'm not praising you... I admire you for wasting your time on this, so I think you're amazing... And do you really think it's useful?"

Chaoyang looked at it carefully for a few minutes, then casually pointed to a conclusion she had reached.

"For example, how is this charm calculated... I initially thought it might make some sense, so I skipped to the answer. But it turned out to be the final conclusion: the charm of an idol lies in what cannot be formulaic... The moment I came to this conclusion, I felt like this was just a pile of waste paper."

Upon hearing Chaoyang's words, S Zeguang covered his cheeks with both hands and replied happily.

"I got criticized for writing my first paper... I'm so happy!"

Chaoyang never expected that S Zeguang would still be so incredibly powerful after not seeing him for so long.

However, I was secretly pleased. If she really came to her senses and decided not to pursue the idol path, Chaoyang would actually be a little reluctant to let her go.

After all, it felt pretty good to be stuck to by these skeleton soldiers, if only her body wasn't so weak in the future.

If he can't find a wife, bringing her home to play alphabet games isn't out of the question; Chaoyang considers his sexual preferences to be quite broad.

Chapter 106 is another new goal.

"Hmm...not bad, you seem to be in much better health than before."

When there were no customers in the store, Chaoyang sat down next to S Zeguang and checked his arm. Although it was still very skin and bones, it had become a bit fleshier than before.

"Okay, next, I'm going to give you a hug to check your weight."

At this moment, some audacious Chaoyang Zhen was about to pick up S Zeguang in one go, but was stopped by the other employees present.

"Hey! You've gone a bit too far!"

"Physical contact is prohibited!!! Serious warning!"

Ai Yin and Qin Yin couldn't stand watching Chao Yang massage his arms earlier, especially Qin Yin, who was already itching to do so. In the end, she angrily turned around and went to the door to attract customers.

"Is it possible that there is such a thing as a weighing scale in this world? There's a limit to how much you can take advantage of someone, otherwise I'll tell Nina later that you can just enjoy her nagging you 24/7."

Even Momoka, who usually doesn't care, formed an alliance to righteously torture Asahi.

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously~ But Xiao Guang, remember that your weight can only increase, not decrease, otherwise it will look like you are in mortal danger."

"I've been working really hard lately... Now I can actually do a sit-and-reach forward bend to touch my toes. I can even walk straight forward."

Aine and Asahi were both amazed.

"What?! They've already exceeded the mission's target!?"

"Xiao Guang, you're amazing!? I always believed you could do it!"

Momoka, who was least familiar with Szehiro, couldn't help but complain about Asahi and Aine's exaggerated words and actions.

"Just how much do you two look down on this girl...? Are you bullying her?"

"It's Momoka who underestimates Sze Hiroshi!"

Chaoyang immediately turned his anger towards Taoxiang.

"That's right, that's right."

Even Ai Yin echoed Chao Yang's words.

“S Zeguang used to walk unsteadily, and to put it bluntly, it was as if she was fighting against gravity with every step. Her steps were slow and unstable, and she often leaned slightly to one side, like a withered leaf being blown by the wind.”

"Yes, by the way, Xiao Guang, can you really walk straight? When you came here, you were walking crooked even though you were on the tactile paving."

S Zeguang smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of pride.

"It's precisely because I'm walking on the tactile paving that I have trouble maintaining my balance. I'm currently taking on a challenge!"

"Is this what you idols do all day? Haha... I'm so envious. No wonder so many young people want to be idols. The challenge is to walk straight."

After hearing this, Tao Xiang couldn't help but smile, saying with a hint of teasing.

Ai Yin couldn't hold back any longer. After all, she was now a fellow student of Chuxing Academy and couldn't accept being looked down upon.

"That's so rude! Xiao Guang is a bit special. Other students at Chuxing Academy have a lot to do! Besides academic classes, they also have to practice dancing and singing!"

"really?"

Momoka looked to Asahi for an answer. Asahi nodded, but he couldn't quite tolerate Momoka treating Aine and Szehiro like idiots.

"Momoka, you'd better not underestimate them... For example, this Sze Hiro... she actually has a university degree, you know?"

"W-what!? Isn't she a student at First Star Academy?"

"Yes, that's right, but her other identity is that of a genius girl who graduated from university at the age of 14."

Tao Xiang stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"...Then why does this guy even want to be an idol? Shouldn't he go to MIT or Harvard and join NASA?"

Chaoyang stroked S Zeguang's head beside her, and she closed her eyes to enjoy Chaoyang's caress.

"Because this guy, everything he does goes too smoothly. If he wanted to do something, I definitely wouldn't be able to succeed."

"Even if you don't become an idol, there are still many jobs that can meet your needs..."

Momoka still had some doubts and didn't quite believe it.

Chaoyang hadn't really understood why S Zeguang chose to become an idol. In fact, if he just wanted things to go wrong, even cleaning would probably have satisfied that need.

However, S Zeguang simply drank his beverage quietly and didn't say anything more.

"Welcome! How many guests are there? Newly added guests, three! Please come in!"

Fujita Kotone's shouts came from the entrance.

When the chattering group saw that guests were coming in, they scattered like birds and beasts and returned to their respective work stations to officially begin their work.

. .

As night fell, the izakaya gradually quieted down; it was closing time.

Almost all the customers had left... but there was one table left, which didn't generate any profit at all.

S Zeguang was sitting at the table, still quietly at the corner table, leisurely sipping her drink.

Because she occupied the entire table, Asahi may have lost tens of thousands of yen.

However, Chaoyang doesn't care much about such small amounts of money anymore.

He gently patted Guang's shoulder a few times.

"Hey, we're closing soon. Hiro, go outside and wait a bit. I'll take you and Kotone home after we've finished cleaning up."

Guang turned around abruptly, her expression as if she had just suffered a severe blow. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes were wide open, as if the slap on her shoulder had delivered a fatal strike. She gently rubbed her shoulder, muttering something under her breath.

"Producer, please be gentle... My shoulders are still quite fragile."

Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh and said half-jokingly.

"Your reaction makes it sound like I punched you. Stop pretending, or I'll drag you out."

Aine, who had already changed her clothes, pointed at herself with dissatisfaction.

"Hey? What about me?"

It feels like there's a significant difference between the two schools, both being the First Star Academy.

Chaoyang could only explain it to her.

"Qinyin and S Zeguang live in the school dormitory. You should know that the two of them weigh less than 90 kilograms combined! Anyone could take them both away in one go."

"I've never seen you play the piano much normally."

Peach Blossom, yawning, came to dismantle the balcony, but luckily, Sunrise had already prepared an excuse.

"Think carefully about what will happen if Xiao Guang can't walk anymore halfway through the journey."

Although it may seem counterintuitive, Qin Yin's weight is actually lighter than S Ze Guang's. Of course, this also takes into account that S Ze Guang is slightly taller.

"You don't think Qinyin is physically strong, right? Normally it's fine, but today she has a burden. If she's unlucky and runs into someone who's lustful, the two of them might not be able to escape."

"...Wasn't that producer going a bit too far? Calling Xiao Guang a burden? Xiao Guang is such a delicate girl, how could she be so...Wow...Why does Xiao Guang seem a little happy about it?"

Kind-hearted Ai Yin initially frowned upon hearing Chao Yang's words, intending to speak up for S Ze Guang. However, when she turned around, she didn't see S Ze Guang looking downcast or even displeased; instead, he appeared happy.

"...I enjoy being scolded by the producer~~"

"Hehe, as expected of Xiao Guang..."

Hearing this, Aine could only laugh awkwardly and take a step back.

While we're at it, let's consider the possibility that S Zeguang was drugged by Chaoyang.

"Alright, alright, you two should be careful on the road and head back early, don't linger. As for Momoka, forget it, but Aine High School students can't stay out past 11 p.m.

"I understand! ...Let's go!"

As Chaoyang watched Aiyin turn to leave, he suddenly called out to her, saying apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Aine, I really felt that Kotone and Hiro were in more danger today. I'll definitely take you next time."

Ai Yin was slightly taken aback, then revealed a knowing smile.

"Okay, I'll remember that!"

At this moment, Momoka, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain.

"Compensation... Ai-yin isn't your girlfriend, what's there to compensate... You don't actually consider them your women, do you? Thinking about spoiling this one today and that one tomorrow."

She shook her head helplessly, looking disgusted.

Chaoyang just smiled, seemingly used to Taoxiang's teasing and not taking it to heart.

. .

Before long, the shutters of the store had been pulled down, leaving only Qin Yin and Guang in front of the store. Chao Yang silently bent down, squatted down steadily, patted his own shoulder, and spoke to Guang.

"Come on, get on, I'll carry you back."

Qin Yin looked shocked, then said angrily.

"...I'm so angry right now!! I feel like I'm being treated completely differently since Xiao Guang came!!!"

"I can't help but take care of this child; I always feel like she'll die on her own in some corner."

"You've only known her for a short time, haven't you? And she's perfectly healthy... she's lived this long, hasn't she?"
