A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

"I'm back... Huh? What are you doing?"

At this moment, Hoshino Ai, who had just finished filming, happened to return home.

She took off her baseball cap and mask, and looked at the three people in the living room who seemed to have entered sage mode with a rather strange expression:

"Why does everyone act like everything is already complete?"

"Nothing, just a quick chat about where we'd be now without Tetsuya."

Nagasaki Suyo answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Hoshino Ai said without hesitation:

"Why think about such things? Anyway, we can never be separated from him, right? Compared to this, Xiangzi, I have already found the photography studio you asked me to find. You can contact him anytime after Zhe returns to China."

“Photography building?”*2.

Nagasaki Suyo and Chihaya Aine both expressed confusion, while Toyokawa Shoko smiled and explained:

"This is something I asked Ai to do privately a while ago. When Zhe Ye-kun returns to China, I want him to take a commemorative photo with us."

"Ah, that's a great suggestion!"

Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up.

"I approve with both hands!"

"Yeah, that sounds really exciting."

Nagasaki Motoyo also showed an expression of great longing.

"It just so happens that the photo album that Tetsuya gave me still has a lot of blank space..."

"I knew you would like it. Then, all we have to do is wait for Tetsuya-kun to come back."

I wonder how everyone will react when Zheye and the other two find out that she asked Ai to book a photoshoot with a "wedding" theme...

"It's really exciting."

Looking at the bright sunny sky outside the window, Shoko Toyokawa looked forward to that day with a smile on her face.

End of Chapter 4.

"Alright, man, please come a little closer... Very good, this is the exact center. You don't need to move anymore!"

At the Chatan Photography Studio, a veteran photographer who is highly trusted by the Watanabe Agency is directing the five young people in front of him.

"Woman, come closer! Completely surround him between you two... Yes, that's right, that's it! Okay, maintain this position for now while I adjust the lights."

"Hiss... Is this really okay?"

After the photographer left, Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but ask belatedly:

"I feel like this photographer doesn't have any special opinions about our subject..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look down at the four girls around him, all dressed in wedding gowns. Being in the center of such an enviable scene, Chihaya Tetsuya felt, rather than feeling happy and satisfied, that he would be arrested by the police in the next second.

"Don't worry, this photographer is an acquaintance of mine. I can assure you that this private photo shoot will be kept confidential."

Higuchi, the agent who acted as the guarantor and was in charge of this photoshoot, stood aside and said calmly:

"Besides...this isn't the first time he's received this kind of job."

"Eh? H-I see..."

Chihaya Tetsu couldn't help but nodded in surprise.

"Just don't cause him any trouble..."

"I say, Tetsuya-kun?"

At this moment, Shoko Toyokawa suddenly made a somewhat dissatisfied sound.

"I think you're being a little too dismissive of the four of us! You have four brides around you right now, shouldn't you focus on us first?"

"Even if you say so..."

Chihaya Tetsu also turned his attention to the wedding dresses they were wearing.

All the costumes for this photography session were provided by the photo studio, so the wedding dresses worn by the four girls were all props rented from the studio.

As a studio recognized by top idol agencies, the quality of these wedding dresses is actually good enough, but for Chihaya Tetsuya, this is far from enough.

"Love's wedding dress shouldn't be made of this kind of fabric. It should be made of a more gorgeous patterned fabric. This wedding dress is a bit too ordinary for her."

"Aine's wedding dress is too long and heavy. It should be shortened and the hem should be designed with more care to create a more light feel."

"The treatment of the upper body of Su Shi's dress is not good enough. Not only does it fail to highlight Su Shi's body shape and figure, but its temperament also fails to match Su Shi's gentle temperament."

"As for Xiangzi, first of all, she should have chosen a higher quality fabric. Secondly, the veil and shawl are really too rough. Xiangzi's wedding dress should be more delicate."

After commenting on these rental wedding dresses, Chihaya Tetsu once again shook his head.

"Today's photoshoot was just a rehearsal. From now on, your wedding dresses will have to be made by me personally."

“…Really.”

Faced with their beloved's seriousness and rigor, the four girls present couldn't help but smile helplessly. But at the same time, his promise of personally making the wedding dress made them look forward to that day even more...

"Okay, the lights are ready."

At the same time, the photographer, who had adjusted the lighting, returned to the camera again.

"Well, first, let's take a front-facing photo. Everyone's expressions can be natural, just like you normally would when you're with him."

“Yes!”*4.

Then, the four girls moved closer to Chihaya Tetsuya again, and all showed an extremely happy and relaxed expression.

After feeling the warmth that enveloped him deeply, a smile appeared on Chihaya Tetsuya's face.

"Okay, perfect."

Without even needing a countdown, the photographer quickly captured their most real and natural moment.

After the five people completed this front-facing photo, under the direction of the photographer, photos from other angles and with other poses were also taken one by one.

Chihaya Tetsuya's mood gradually changed from being dissatisfied with the wedding dresses at the beginning to being infected by the smiles on the faces of the four girls.

Although this was just a rehearsal photo shoot, he will definitely turn it into a real wedding in the near future.

He will personally design wedding dresses that belong only to them and turn all their dreams at the moment into reality.

By then, if they look back at the photos they took today, which are full of youth and immaturity, it will surely be quite an interesting experience...

"Well, that's all for the official photos. Next... it's time to take some fun photos."

Then, the photographer pressed a series of buttons and then left the camera.

"In ten seconds, this camera will start taking one-minute bursts of photos. During this minute, you can confess your feelings, hug him, forcefully kiss him, or even strip him of his suit. In short, it's up to you to do whatever you want. I'll make a serial album of the photos so you don't have to worry about missing any details."

Amidst Chihaya Tetsuya's astonishment and the gradually brightening smiles of the other four girls, the photographer waved his hand.

"Well, have fun with it. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Okay, let's begin."

"Wait, Mr. Kitani, this isn't how photography is supposed to work—Ugh!"

As a result, before Chihaya Tetsuya could even utter his protest, his lips were taken away by Hoshino Ai beside him, and the other three also hugged Chihaya Tetsuya and deliberately showed their affection in front of the camera.

At the same time, the photographer had stepped aside and came to the agent who also had a smile on his face.

"Is that young man really okay?"

He couldn't help but ask this with a worried look on his face.

"He looked like a sheep among wolves."

"Humph, that's what you don't understand. This is exactly the feeling I want."

Obviously, this last, slightly ridiculous plan was proposed by the serious agent.

"After all, if you want to be happy, you have to work hard for it..."

Just as Chihaya Tetsuya thought, today's photography was just a simple rehearsal.

What awaits him in the future will only be more happiness that he cannot imagine at this moment, as well as the corresponding tests.

However, I don't think there is any need to worry about him.

After all, no matter when, this greedy guy will definitely try his best to find the best ending that can make everyone happy...

"Zhe, I don't have work tomorrow, so I can stay at your place for one night today."

"Then it seems I have to go to the convenience store again before going back!"

"Zheya, I'm counting on you tonight as well."

"Ah, Tetsuya-kun, the shooting sequence is about to end, remember to smile for the camera!"

"hiss……"

Under the expectant gaze of the four girls, Chihaya Tetsuya suddenly realized that compared to the dangerous and cruel fashion industry ahead, perhaps tonight's challenge would be more difficult and severe.

"Please... show some mercy..."

Just like that, the continuous shooting was frozen under Chihaya Tetsuya's smile which was a mixture of distress and happiness.

Fortunately, not all the joyful things in this world will come to an abrupt end as expected.

Surrounded by this starry sky, the story of Chihaya Tetsuya is about to usher in a new chapter...

Chapter 1 Preface: "Sage Time" in the Eyes of a Third Party

"3, 2, 1—stop."

The fashion model in charge of teaching catwalks turned off the speakers and nodded to the two people in front of her.

"That's all for today's practice. You two did very well... especially Chuhua."

The model teacher gave Sanjiao Chuhua an approving look.

"The coordination between your hips and stride is already at the level of a Tokyo Fashion Week model! If it weren't for your idol job, I'd recommend you to our agency!"

"Thank you for the compliment, but if I want to be a fashion model, first of all, I'm not tall enough, right?"

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and shook his head:

"Being able to walk on the TGC runway is enough for me. Compared to being a model, being an idol and a singer is more suitable for me."

"Yeah, that's true."

The model teacher nodded, then picked up her bag, waved to the two of them, and left the dance studio with the elegant steps that only a fashion model could take, leaving the two who had just finished training alone here.

The next second, just as Hoshino Ai was about to take her things and leave, Sanjiao Hatsuka suddenly spoke to her:

"...You've become quite lax lately."

"?"

Hoshino Ai, who was bending down to put the towel into her backpack, stopped and gave Sankaku Hatsuka a confused look.

"Why do you say that? I didn't make any mistakes today, did I?"

"That's true, but... you haven't shown any desire to defeat me."

If it were the past, if the modeling teacher had only praised Chuhua, then Hoshino Ai would have definitely questioned Chuhua's level and decided to stay and practice until she could reach or even surpass her level. However, now, not only did she no longer have that drive, but even her calm expression didn't reveal the slightest hint of resentment.

No, it's not just her motivation. Recently, Hoshino Ai's temperament and even appearance have changed quite significantly.

Should I say I've become more mature, or more composed...

In short, since the end of the joint exhibition, various changes have taken place in Hoshino Ai.

As for the reason for this change, even if Hoshino Ai herself did not mention it, Sanjiao Hatsuka actually knew it well -

"Is it because of Mr. Tetsuya?"
