Ms. PA smiled and stopped provoking her.

"Well... it was resolved without any major incident."

The image of Seiji Fujiwara's handsome face appeared in her mind.

"That Seiji guy really went all out... But for him, being able to take down Hoshika, such a tough nut to crack, in this way is definitely worth it."

"It's a pity... he used this card on his sister."

"There won't be a chance for a cuter, more energetic younger sister... He wouldn't use the same card twice, would he?"

Miss PA pondered to herself.

Not only that, her and Xingge's deliberate concealment actually fueled Hongxia's desire to uncover the truth.

……

……

After yet another sleepless night, Hongxia made a decision.

She recalled Yamada Ryo's casual "hint".

"Speaking of which, our president, Seiji Fujiwara... is quite generous to those he 'takes a fancy'."

Hongxia understood what he meant.

She stood alone in front of the mirror in her room, looking at herself in the mirror.

His eyes went from confusion and unease to struggle, and finally slowly became firm!

She opened the wardrobe and changed her clothes.

It was a clean white shirt paired with a plaid pleated skirt. Still a student outfit full of youthful energy.

If her pride prevents her from taking that path...

Then, I'll do it!

I also want to protect my sister and protect "STARRY"!

the next day.

Nijigae arrived at Seiji Fujiwara's office and mustered up the courage to tell him why she had come.

"Fujiwara-sensei, please help me and Fanxing... I'm willing to do anything for you!"

The girl blushed and mustered her courage.

Her eyes were full of shyness, but she still looked firmly at Seiji Fujiwara.

"!?"

Seiji Fujiwara was stunned and doubted his ears.

He stared at the energetic girl in front of him, with her yellow side ponytail, observing her tense yet resolute expression.

After a long while, a look of surprise appeared on Fujiwara Seiji's face.

"Interesting...it's really, so interesting..."

He was overjoyed.

"I thought that taking down Xingge, that tough nut, was the full benefit of Fanxing's 'crisis card.' I didn't expect this card to come with a hidden 'buy one get one free' effect?!"

"The innocent and kind-hearted Hongxia actually offered herself up on her own initiative. Doesn't she know that the problem has already been solved?"

Seiji Fujiwara quickly realized that Ms. PA and Hoshika hadn't told Nijika the truth.

Right.

Given Xingge's personality, she definitely wouldn't have the nerve to tell her sister the truth about selling herself.

"Is it anything?"

Seiji Fujiwara looked at the girl in front of him, whose cheeks were flushed with nervousness, and slowly stood up.

There's no reason to pass up a snack that's delivered to your door.

Xingge, this is not my fault.

Your sister gave it to you voluntarily.

“Yes, Fujiwara-sensei!” Nijika took a deep breath, reaffirming her choice.

"is it?"

Fujiwara walked step by step towards the girl.

He reached out and gently lifted her smooth, delicate chin, as if examining a work of art.

He spoke in a low voice while rubbing Hongxia's smooth chin skin.

“Nijika-chan,”

Seiji Fujiwara said slowly, "Do you know what the words 'anything' mean?"

Hongxia tensed up, letting Fujiwara Seiji's fingers trace her movements.

Of course she knows.

Before coming, I had already mentally rehearsed countless scenarios that might happen.

Therefore, the girl endured the tingling and discomfort on her chin, raised her head, and looked at Fujiwara Seiji with utmost seriousness in her golden eyes, which were always as bright as the sun.

“…I know!” Her voice was still trembling, but her tone was firmer than ever before. “And I’m prepared to give everything!”

Hearing the girl's sincere words, Seiji Fujiwara felt a pang of guilt.

However, it was only a tiny bit.

He was instantly overpowered by Seiji Fujiwara.

“Nijika-chan…you…” Seiji Fujiwara sighed dramatically, “You’re so naive.”

“Saving ‘STARRY’ is no easy task. Behind it lies tens of millions of dollars in debt and a complex underworld developer.”

"This is not a simple 'deal'."

His voice suddenly became low and deep, like an invisible mountain pressing down on Hongxia's already fragile shoulders.

As he gently traced the girl's cheek, which trembled slightly with nervousness, with his fingers, he whispered the terms of the deal in a devilish voice:

"My appearance fee is very high."

"If I help you, then from this day forward, you, Ichiji Nijika, will belong entirely to me."

"This isn't just once or twice. It's a lifetime."

"A lifetime means your time, your body, your joys and sorrows, even every heartbeat of yours will be my property. That is the meaning of 'everything'."

Are you prepared for this?

He stared intently into the girl's eyes, trying to see a trace of retreat and fear in those clear pupils.

But to Fujiwara Seiji's surprise...

In the girl's eyes, only initial shock and panic flashed.

Even as her face flushed and she looked embarrassed upon hearing the shameful terms filled with extreme possessiveness, she still nodded earnestly and tried to look directly into Fujiwara Seiji's eyes:

"Fujiwara-sensei, I was prepared for this all along!"

The voice was not loud, but it was resounding.

"Fujiwara-sensei! Although you can be a bad person and a womanizer at times... you've also helped me and my friends so much!"

Hongxia mustered her courage and boldly said:

"so……"

She took a deep breath, her beautiful golden eyes sparkling with dazzling light.

"I believe you."

"I am very grateful to you."

"Given how kind you've been to me before, I would find it hard to refuse even the most unreasonable requests... So, Fujiwara-sensei, please do whatever you want with me!"

After the girl finished speaking, her cheeks turned bright red, as if painted by the setting sun.

It's incredibly tempting.

Seiji Fujiwara was stunned.

……

……

After making those bold remarks, Niji was taken away from the office by Seiji Fujiwara.

She lowered her head, her face flushed and shy.

Just as she was passing by the practice room of the "Unity Band", the door of the practice room suddenly opened.

Yamada Ryo came out from inside.

When she saw Nijika following behind Seiji Fujiwara, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across her face.

While lazily handing Hongxia a bottle of water, he asked in a casual tone, "Hey, Captain, you seem so nervous. Are you going to ask the president for a 'tour'?"

"Yes, there are some things that need to be discussed."

Hongxia gave a vague reply, not daring to look Yamada Ryo in the eye.

Looking at Nijika's shy expression and then at Fujiwara Seiji's faint smile, Yamada Ryo instantly understood everything.

...That expression...is he not applying for a tour, but for a 'lifetime contract'?

Yamada Ryo thought to himself, a huge uproar brewing in his mind.

'And there's Seiji too!'

'He said before that getting Xingge was enough, and the younger sister would have to be nurtured slowly, but today he's shown his true colors!'

Yamada Ryo secretly gave Fujiwara Seiji a disdainful look.

Seiji Fujiwara remained calm, pretending not to see it.

'But... this script is really interesting. A younger sister who sacrifices herself to protect her older sister, and a older sister who thinks she's fooled everyone but doesn't know her younger sister has already jumped into the fire for her... Hmm, I could write this into my new song, and the title would be... "The Misunderstood Sacrifice"?'

Yamada Ryo thought with great interest.

She didn't point it out.

After all, she was Fujiwara Seiji's woman, and it wasn't a bad thing that Nijika was with Fujiwara Seiji.

She simply gave Hongxia a meaningful smile.

Then, he made a subtle "good luck" gesture to Seiji Fujiwara, a gesture that only the two of them could understand.

Then he turned and left.

……

Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go." Seiji Fujiwara continued walking forward.

"Yes!" Hongxia quickly followed.

She followed Seiji Fujiwara to the garage, then took a car to the city center.

It was a luxury apartment on the top floor.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a vast view, as if the entire city is prostrate at the foot of this apartment.

A faint, sophisticated woody fragrance filled the air.

Every piece of furniture, every decoration, from the simple yet obviously expensive leather sofa to the abstract painting on the wall that she couldn't understand but felt was impressive, exuded an aura of wealth.

This left Hongxia somewhat at a loss.

It felt like stepping into a completely unfamiliar world.
