"It's almost lunchtime, so you'll have to fend for yourself."
"I've left you my address. If you can't reach me and it's really urgent, you can come to my place to find me."
"Even if they can't find me, I have people in my family who can solve any problems."
"I have someone in my family who is arguably the toughest person in the world besides me. You can definitely ask them for help, but their attitude and temper are a bit off, so don't be so cheeky."
After giving his instructions, Lin Qi ran away.
Yukiko opened her mouth as she watched the retreating figure of the 0.1 person running away, but couldn't say anything for a moment. Then she felt a little helpless. What kind of monsters and demons live in this person's house?
After giving his instructions, Lin Qi arrived at the entrance of the agency, where a young girl was looking around anxiously.
Lin Qi was a little surprised. He didn't expect the other person to have such an expression. Shouldn't the other person be the confident type?
"Hey, Xiao Ai, have you been waiting long?"
When Hoshino Ai saw Lin Qi pop up, a smile appeared on her face. If anyone saw it, they would definitely find that this smile was something they had never seen before.
After all, that smile was very genuine, coming from the heart.
Chapter 303 Is this girl really that easy to fool?
Lin Qi didn't waste any words when he saw the girl in front of him. He took her around to various places, but didn't go to any overly expensive places. After all, he didn't know if she was used to them, and it wouldn't be good to start like this.
Take things slowly, after all, you know the other party's situation.
Hoshino Ai also noticed that Lin Qi was often accommodating her in many ways.
"Qijun, I'm very happy today, thank you. But I would prefer that you do things your own way and not have to accommodate me like this."
When Hoshino Ai and Lin Qi finished eating noodles and parted ways, she spoke to Lin Qi with a smile on her face.
Lin Qi shook his head after hearing what the other person said.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. After all, you shouldn’t always be thinking about accommodating others. Think more about yourself, because I’ve noticed from what we talked about and your subconscious behavior when you’re playing with me that I’m certain.”
Hoshino Ai was stunned when she heard this, and wanted to ask, "What are you sure about?"
"These years of experience have made you subconsciously and habitually flatter others, or rather, consider their feelings. In fact, I want to say that there is no need for that. Just be yourself."
"You don't need to be someone else's foil."
"In my eyes, you are more like the main character."
Lin Qi patted the other person's head and spoke in a gentle tone.
Hoshino Ai was stunned when she heard this, not expecting Lin Qi to say such a thing.
"So be more confident when facing me or others in the future."
"After all, confident people are more like the main characters in my eyes, and you are most beautiful when you are confident."
At this moment, Lin Qi gave the other party a pep talk.
Although the other party later appeared very confident, that was because they had gone through a lot to become that way.
Therefore, Lin Qi's idea was to give the person he was introducing the company a good lesson beforehand, so that they could develop a confident demeanor and not try to please others.
Don't doubt yourself, after all, the other team disbanded later, and because the other team was too dazzling, the island was divided among the teams, so he also doubted himself and wondered if it was his own fault.
Lin Qi didn't want this mess to happen, so he decided to start working on the plan more. As for the idea of a group debut, that was unnecessary. Of course, if they really wanted to debut, he would have to explain the situation to those people.
Although it might seem like they were being used as supporting characters, so what? Lin Qi gave them better resources and opportunities; frankly, it was just a deal!
When Hoshino Ai heard Lin Qi say that she preferred to see him confident, a smile appeared on her face, which gave her a rather radiant feeling.
"Yes, Qi Jun, I understand!"
Lin Qi nodded at the other person's smile, but seemed to remember something before parting ways.
"Xiao Ai, let me ask you a question. How much longer until you debut? Or do you feel like you can debut now?"
Lin Qi spoke in a curious tone.
"The original plan was to move quickly. This was originally arranged by Mr. Shenmu, but now that he has been dismissed by Qi Qijun, I am not very clear about the situation."
Hoshino Ai didn't hide anything and spoke frankly about it, which stunned Lin Qi. Then he realized that it was actually his fault.
"Ahem, I'll have someone else take charge of this."
"And has Shenmu Guang been in frequent contact lately, showing all sorts of concern and care?"
Lin Qi spoke in a tentative tone in this time and space, and Hoshino Ai, though somewhat confused, still answered honestly.
"Yes, Qi-kun, how did you know about this? Mr. Kamiki has indeed been quite concerned about me lately. But I guess it's because I'm about to debut, so he's worried about my mental state. After all, if I mess this up, things might not go well in the future."
"Mr. Shenmu is actually a very good person. He's quite gentle and kind."
Hoshino Ai simply and subconsciously assumed that the other person was concerned about her well-being, so she thought the other person was a good person, since few people would care about her like that.
Lin Qi's face darkened upon hearing this. So, it was because he showed concern that this girl developed feelings for him. It was definitely related to his past experiences. But could Xiao Ai please open her eyes a little wider? A man showing such concern to a beautiful girl—you'd be fooling no one if he didn't have ulterior motives.
Of course, it depends on the person; we can't generalize and condemn everyone. For example, the adoptive father in that case might simply be trying to do what's best for the other person. However, most people aren't like that, including Lin Qi himself!
At this moment, Lin Qi put his hands on the other person's shoulders and walked a few steps at the fork in the road. The other person returned to their residence and their face became serious.
Seeing Lin Qi suddenly become so serious, Hoshino Ai was momentarily at a loss, subconsciously wondering if she had done something wrong.
I became incredibly anxious.
Lin Qi didn't think too much about it; instead, he looked at the girl in front of him and spoke earnestly.
"Xiao Ai, you must remember that very few people will be kind to someone for no reason. Of course, there are some exceptions, but 90% of the time they have ulterior motives."
"For example, Kamiki Hikaru might simply show concern and care for you, but does he treat the rest of your group the same way? After all, you debuted as a group?"
Hoshino Ai was taken aback when she heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it didn't seem to be true.
"Maybe I just haven't encountered it yet."
Hoshino Ai expressed her thoughts, after all, she wasn't the type to speculate about others with malice, or perhaps that was just her personality.
Try to think of people in a positive light.
Lynch shook his head at this.
"No, no, no, you're overthinking it. Let me tell you, the other person is simply showing concern for you."
Hoshino Ai tilted her head after hearing this and spoke in a questioning tone.
"Why?"
Lin Qi's lips twitched a few times at this. He couldn't understand such an obvious hint, which made him seriously suspect that the other party had tricked this girl into getting her, probably the type to sleep with her first and then buy the ticket later.
"When a man is showing concern and care for a woman, especially a beautiful young woman like you, do you think his behavior is normal?"
Even if Hoshino Ai didn't want to think the worst of people, she understood what this meant.
"You mean Mr. Shenmu wants to pursue me? 657"
Lin Qi first nodded, then shook his head.
Hoshino Ai was a little confused by what she was watching.
"Qi Jun, what does this mean? Nodding first and then shaking your head."
"It's true that the other person wants to pursue you, but in addition to pursuing you, they also have a playful attitude. To put it bluntly, they just see that you are beautiful and dazzling, so they plan to treat you as a toy to play with, and then throw you aside after they've had their fill."
Upon hearing this, Hoshino Ai immediately covered her mouth, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Qi Jun, how is this possible? Is there some misunderstanding?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qi pursed his lips and then spoke in a helpless tone.
"Ai, Saito Ichigo has protected you too well, or rather, he simply wants to grow stronger through his own strength and has no intention of engaging in those dirty deals. So there are many things you haven't seen or been exposed to."
“But Kamiki Hikaru is different. He’s that kind of person, or rather, a scumbag. He’s been doing a lot of things here behind Saito’s back, and quite a few girls have been played with and then dumped by him.”
"Otherwise, why do you think I fired that guy so easily? He was just an eyesore."
After hearing this, Hoshino Ai understood the whole story. If that's how relationships are, then she was lucky to have escaped a disaster.
Chapter 304 Holy crap! Are you reciting menu items?
"So I escaped unscathed?"
Hoshino Ai spoke in an incredulous tone, and the response she received was a flick on the forehead from Lin Qi.
"Good to know. Don't be so naive in the future. Anyone who gets close to you and is nice to you definitely has ulterior motives. Of course, I'm referring to most of them."
"And that guy is even worse. So I'm giving you a heads-up: if he comes looking for you in the future, or if you see him, just go out of your way. If he does come looking for you, send me a message, or tell me to contact Yukiko or someone like that."
Lin Qi was giving the other party some instructions to prevent them from being scammed.
"Keep your eyes open and don't let anyone fool you."
At this moment, Hoshino Ai also spoke up in a defiant tone.
"I won't be fooled so easily!"
Lin Qi was taken aback when he heard this, mainly because the other person's eyes were quite firm, which made him feel a little strange. What was wrong with the other person?
After reading it a bit, I understood. Okay, it's because there's someone she likes. As for who that person is, those who know, know.
"Okay, okay, I know, I know. If you really want to be fooled, then you might as well be fooled by me."
Lin Qi stroked the other person's head and said these words as if coaxing a child, and a shy look flashed in the other person's eyes.
"Okay, I'm going back now. I'll come visit you another day, since I don't live around here."
Hoshino Ai nodded with a smile after hearing this.
After Lin Qi left, Hoshino Ai looked in the direction he had gone and muttered to herself.
"Qi Jun, I'm waiting for you to lie to me."
Lin Qi walked to a secluded spot and activated his teleportation.
Lin Qi suddenly appeared on the sofa, and the people around him seemed unfazed. Taking advantage of the situation, Lin Qi slashed someone's leg.
Suzuka Dairenji was already used to Lin Qi's behavior. She just pursed her lips and then ignored it. However, she only squeezed her legs together and voiced her accusation after helping someone do some excessive things.
"idiot!"
"Listen to your movements."
Suzuka Otsuki, holding Lin Qi's head tightly, spoke through gritted teeth.
