A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"Tetsuya-kun!"

After hearing what Chihaya Tetsuya said, Toyokawa Shoko's expression instantly brightened.

In fact, when Chihaya Tetsuya threw out those names one by one, she had a very strong sense of déjà vu...

Because what he listed was exactly the content of the "Harem Plan" she had previously formulated, a team covering multiple fields to contribute to Chihaya Tetsuya's strength. And now, with Chihaya Tetsuya's brand on the right track and their relationship officially established, Chihaya Tetsuya directly used this plan as her own strength and prepared to support her mother in return -

"Because of my personal experience, I place special importance on family and relatives. Perhaps in your opinion, Xiangzi's freedom is enough for you, but for me, it is far from enough."

What Chihaya Tetsuya hopes for is to bring happiness to everyone.

And among them, of course, are the loved ones' closest relatives.

"I will be your helper and help you become the next 'head of the Toyokawa family'. Then, you will be able to find happiness and freedom with Xiangzi with peace of mind."

Under the increasingly astonished gaze of Toyokawa Shoko's mother, Chihaya Tetsuya said:

"What do you think of my proposal?"

155

Chapter 155 The answer belongs to everyone.

"That's what he told my mother!"

Just recalling the scene at that time, Shoko Toyokawa would smile with incomparable happiness.

"Tetsuya-kun was so handsome back then, even my mother was intimidated by his aura! Actually, at first I was just trying it out... but I never expected that my mother, who was always so indifferent, would actually be swayed!"

At this time, Chihaya Tetsuya had already gone to Paris with Jean, and Toyokawa Shoko, who had no other plans today, naturally came to Chihaya Tetsuya's house and chatted with Nagasaki Motoyo.

"So, what did Auntie say?"

After hearing this, Nagasaki Suyo asked with a curious look on her face.

"Did she promise you?"

"She didn't agree right away. She just said that she would consider our proposal carefully after Tetsuya-kun actually appeared at Paris Fashion Week."

Although she didn't get her mother's immediate consent, this concession alone was a significant achievement for Toyokawa Shoko. Moreover, since her mother had already set the conditions, she naturally had a new motivation to move forward.

"After this [TGC] is over, my next goal should be Tokyo Fashion Week. In order not to be left too far behind by Tetsuya-kun, I have to work hard on my part too!"

Toyokawa Shoko said this with full of fighting spirit.

Looking at her expression without a trace of gloom, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but smile as well.

"It's really great."

Compared to the previous Xiangzi who was always worried and had a serious expression because of all the things he was doing, she really preferred to see her current expression.

However, in addition to being happy for her from the bottom of her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little longing in her heart.

"Should I take Zheye to meet my mother too..."

"Go meet him! Hasn't your mother always been fond of Tetsuya-kun? The success of this joint exhibition, and the huge number of orders that StarrySky received, which far exceeded expectations, will definitely strengthen her opinion of Tetsuya-kun!"

Toyokawa Shoko immediately said:

"Given your mother's personality, she will definitely welcome him!"

"Hmm...but it's because my mother really likes Tetsuya, so I don't want to bring him to see her..."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed with a troubled look on her face.

"If she knew that Zheye had not only achieved success in China but had even become a world-class designer, that I was going to study abroad with him, and that he would be joining the Noble Fashion Academy next year, she would probably be so excited that she would ask me to have a child with him right after graduation..."

"Hmm...it's not hard to imagine."

Toyokawa Shoko easily imagined in her mind the scene of Nagasaki Motoyo's mother excitedly encouraging her daughter. If she knew that her daughter was actually already in a fait accompli with Chihaya Tetsuya, it would probably only make this pragmatic and open-minded mother even more determined.

"...Sure enough, let's wait a little longer."

"Well, wait a little longer."

The two eventually came to this conclusion together.

"Everyone, there's new news from my brother!"

At this moment, the door of Chihaya Aine's room suddenly opened, and Chihaya Aine sat next to the two of them happily while holding her mobile phone.

"They're still visiting other brands' studios today! Look, I often see this logo in shopping malls!"

What Chihaya Aine showed at this time was the cloud album on Chihaya Tetsuya's mobile phone.

This was the condition Chihaya Tetsuya had agreed to before leaving, half-forced by the women. This time, Chihaya Tetsuya was required not only to report his itinerary to everyone in real time, but also to provide his photo albums and social media records. In exchange for this series of conditions, Chihaya Tetsuya miraculously received a 30-minute "intermission" the night before his departure...

"Even though my brother will only be in Paris for a week, I still feel so lonely."

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but complain.

"It feels even more obvious than when we were apart for half a year!"

"After all, we were together almost all day in the days before he left. It would be a huge shock to be separated suddenly like this."

Nagasaki Suyo was not surprised by this.

"He'll be back in four days anyway, so why not let him make it up to us then? We just happened to have bullied him a little too badly the other day, so let's just give him a little break this week."

“…”*2.

Hearing Nagasaki Suyo's seemingly considerate remarks, Toyokawa Shoko and Chihaya Aine subconsciously looked at each other.

Before the plan was implemented, Nagasaki Motoyo had always acted the most nonchalant and was also the one who cared the most about Chihaya Tetsuya's health. However, after the actual action, Nagasaki Motoyo became the most "greedy", not only first suggesting the idea of ​​​​combining all four people, but also refusing to let Chihaya Tetsuya go even when he was eating or drinking.

When Chihaya Tetsuya returns to China, she will probably only continue to exploit Chihaya Tetsuya even more...

"Um, Sushi, once Tetsuya-kun returns, we'll have to start preparing for [TGC]!"

Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but persuade:

"So, to ensure he still has the energy to work, it's better not to bully him too much..."

"Don't worry, I'm not that greedy. After all, I'm still his advisor and assistant."

Nagasaki Suyo smiled and said:

"But you should also remember, right? Tetsuya's design inspiration is sometimes linked to desire, so doing things like that appropriately can actually help him with his work. What do you think?"

"Ah... indeed."

"Well, now that you put it that way there's nothing we can do."

Toyokawa Shoko and Chihaya Aine were instantly convinced and nodded in agreement with Nagasaki Motoyo's statement.

"By the way, did Ai go to work today?"

Toyokawa Shoko asked Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine nodded after hearing this.

"Yeah, after all, it's right around the time that a new artist is debuting at Summer Zodiac, and she's about to headline TGC. The fact that she's able to spare so much time to fool around with us is already a big favor from the agency."

"makes sense."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded in understanding, and then Chihaya Aine continued:

"Or... maybe just let Ai live here from now on. It would be a bit weird to have her living alone in the office or a rental house all the time."

Ever since the [Joint Exhibition], the girls have been constantly pestering Chihaya Tetsuya and making out with him, and Hoshino Ai, for convenience, has chosen to live in Chihaya Tetsuya's room. Logically, this kind of special treatment shouldn't exist, but considering Hoshino Ai's incredibly sensitive constitution, even when the four of them were together before, she would fall asleep on her own after just a few times. So, in a sense, this special treatment can be considered as special care for her...

"Of course she can, but if she has work to do, she can't sleep in Tetsuya's room."

Nagasaki Suyo said:

"After all, with her personality, she'll definitely be unable to resist doing that kind of thing as long as she's with Tetsuya. If this affects the next day's work, we'll definitely be in trouble for Higuchi's manager."

If it were just a few months ago, when they first met Hoshino Ai, everyone would have worried that Chihaya Tetsu would be completely consumed by her. However, after experiencing actual combat together, they only worried that Hoshino Ai would become the one who was most consumed...

"Love really does change a person a lot."

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but say with deep emotion:

"Love, who was originally the most aggressive and lawless, has now become the weakest. Xiangzi, who originally seemed the calmest, has become the boldest. Even Su Shi, who has always been gentle, will directly become a different person in bed..."

"It's the same with you, isn't it? You were always the one taking the initiative to get close to Tetsuya before this, but at the crucial moment, you let Tetsuya take the initiative."

Nagasaki Suyo said calmly:

"As long as everyone can be happy, this small change doesn't matter."

"I think my brother still hasn't quite gotten used to this 'happiness'."

Recalling the look of her brother's weak waist and knees when he left, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but complain.

But Shoko Toyokawa was not worried about this.

"We're just a little out of control because this is our first attempt. Also, considering we all have our own jobs in the future, the frequency of the four of us being together will only get lower and lower. By then, I'm sure Tetsuya-kun will be able to adapt well!"

"The result is just a reduction in the number of people? At least give brother some rest time! Like every weekend or something -"

"Su Shi, could you please pour me another cup of black tea?"

"Well, I'll go right away."

"..."

In the end, these two people had no intention of listening...

Facing the two people who had completely transformed into carnivores, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but shake her head.

At this moment, it turns out that only she, as a younger sister, would feel sorry for her brother...

"By the way...Aine, have you told your parents about your confirmed relationship with Tetsuya?"

When Nagasaki Suyo went to prepare black tea, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly remembered the topic she had talked about with Suyo at the beginning.

After hearing this, Chihaya Aine shook her head embarrassedly.

"About this... I don't plan to report this to them right now."

"Eh? Why? You clearly said before that they have been encouraging you to take action against Tetsuya-kun. Wouldn't it be better to just report the progress to them directly?"

Toyokawa Shoko was quite puzzled by this, and Chihaya Aine started to explain -

"Because, with my brother's take-charge personality, he'll definitely wait until he's successful before honestly telling Mom and Dad about our relationship. So, I want to wait until then and introduce you to them together with him."

Chihaya Aine said:

"And my brother and I both hope that you can truly become our family, so there's no need to rush. When the time is right, we will naturally take you to meet them."

"That's it..."

After hearing Chihaya Aine's serious answer, a smile appeared on Toyokawa Shoko's face.

“Such a considerate and serious place, Aine, you really are Tetsuya-kun’s sister…”

"Hehe... not really, I just learned a lot from my brother."

Chihaya Aine said with a wry smile.

"In the past, I would never have thought of so many things..."

After all, until a year ago, she was a "doer" who would choose to study abroad just to get noticed, without even considering the risk of failure. However, after going through the process of forming a band with Chihaya Tetsuya, and witnessing him solve everyone's problems while working with everyone to build the brand [StarrySky], she gradually learned to think like her brother, with his seriousness and responsibility.

"In this regard...we are all the same."

Toyokawa Shoko also felt quite emotional about this.

"If it weren't for Tetsuya-kun, I'd probably still be estranged from Sushi and the others, and worrying about making a living and tuition... My father's debts are a thing of the past, and restoring my relationship with my mother is out of the question..."

"me too."

Nagasaki Suyo handed the teacups to Chihaya Aine and Toyokawa Shoko respectively.

"If it weren't for Tetsuya, I wouldn't be able to reconcile with Xiangzi, nor would I pursue a new future and goals. As for the new band and job now... it's even more unrealistic."

The same goes for Hoshino Ai.

If she hadn't been able to reunite with Chihaya Tetsuya, no one could imagine what she would become like alone...

"It's great to meet Tetsuya-kun..."

Toyokawa Shoko sighed.

The other two nodded silently, and together they were lost in memories with Chihaya Tetsuya and their feelings about the past.
