I endured the humiliation and humiliation while being besieged by the ghost story elder sister.

Looking at the exceptionally tall girl behind Ximiao, even her manager couldn't help but admire her perfect body proportions, which showed her potential to become a model.

However, she still needs to deal with the work at hand first.

Without dwelling on Arisa any longer, the manager led the two of them to one of the photography studios.

"By the way, you can just call me Miss Jiang Li, there's no need to be too nervous."

She didn't forget to say this to the two people behind her.

In the huge photo studio, there were only photographers and makeup artists, all of whom were women, which made Arisa pause for a moment.

But she didn't say anything, and very consciously found a folding chair and sat down to the side.

Meanwhile, Xi Ling looked around curiously. This was her first official job, and she didn't seem quite sure what she was supposed to do.

"Um... Miss Jiang, is there anything I can do for you?"

He turned to his agent, who was holding a stack of documents and flipping through them, and asked her a question.

"Ah, well~ take off your clothes first, but you don't need to take off your pants. I need to see if you've been obedient and have been using the skincare products I gave you every day."

"Eh?"

He was clearly taken aback when he heard what Jiang Li said, not expecting that he would have to do this.

But if it's just the top, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Xi Miao quietly unbuttoned her shirt, and large expanses of fair skin looked even more alluring under the light.

Jiang Li glanced at it briefly before refocusing his attention on the documents in his hands.

"It seems you've taken good care of yourself; your skin looks much better than when we last met."

On the contrary, the photographer who was waiting on the side was staring wide-eyed.

The boy's thin frame, combined with his cute face, gave people the feeling of wanting to bully him.

After a while, Miss Jiang brought over a set of gauze clothes and asked him to change into them. Then he went to the makeup artist to get himself ready to look best in front of the camera.

Sitting on the chair, Arisa looked at what had just happened and seemed a little uncomfortable, but it was just a top, which was still within her acceptable range.

Ms. Jiang, who also noticed that something was off about Nozomi's girlfriend's expression, took a chair and sat down next to her after organizing the materials she needed.

"Don't worry, these are all work-related requirements. In addition, all the staff present have signed confidentiality agreements and are not even allowed to bring their cell phones in. So, you don't need to worry about Himiko, Ms. Arisa."

“You know I’m not worried about him… I just feel a little annoyed.”

She turned her head, her beautiful wine-red eyes looking directly into Miss Jiang's eyes.

This inexplicably made Jiang Li, an ordinary person, feel a sense of oppression, as if his body instinctively sensed a threat.

But then, the girl asked her a rather strange question with a smile.

"Does your studio need sponsorship?"

……

In the changing room, or rather, in the makeshift changing room enclosed by a few black curtains.

Having already taken off her own clothes, Xi Ling held the clothes Jiang Li had given her earlier in her hand, and a blush appeared on her fair face.

Despite his inner struggle, for the sake of his part-time job wages, he put on the exotic, pure white gauze dress and walked out of the dressing room.

When he looked in the direction where Arisa had been, he found that the girl was not on the chair.

"Strange... Where is Arisa?"

Before he could figure out where Arisa had gone, Jiang Li came up to him and led him to the dressing table, explaining to Ximiao what the request was.

And the other side.

In this large studio, in a particularly luxurious room, Arisa was sitting on a sofa, chatting and laughing with another woman.

"Ms. Qianya, thank you for your sponsorship of our studio. Based on the amount of your sponsorship, you are now our largest shareholder."

"Now that you've received the money, shouldn't we discuss my terms?"

She fiddled with the glass in her hand, completely unconcerned about how much money she had just sponsored.

What Arisa cares about is whether she can have complete control over Nozomi's work going forward.

however.

Unaware of this, Xi Ling, after finishing her makeup and styling, was posing as instructed by the photographer, holding a sample of an unknown, expensive perfume, and smiling under the flashing lights.

Although he felt ashamed of the semi-transparent white gauze dress he was wearing, he was still wearing his underwear, so nothing strange would happen.

She barely managed to stay within the limits that Mio could accept, which was to say, she kept teetering on the edge of his bottom line, as if she were being manipulated by Ms. Eri.

"This time, I'm shooting an advertising cover for a certain women's perfume. As for the payment, after deducting your basic salary, there will be 200,000 yen. Just bear with it a little longer."

Seemingly noticing that Xi Ling's expression wasn't good, she knew that the outfit was a bit embarrassing, but that was all she could do to comfort him.

Making money is nothing to be ashamed of.

It's not a big deal for a boy to use his looks a little.

As she had expected, when Ximiao heard about the reward she would receive after the job was done, her eyes lit up with a different kind of light.

"Good expression~ Hold on, don't move~"

Author's Note: Arisa has been promoted from girlfriend... to girlfriend, and also serves as the sugar daddy older sister.

(???????)??

Chapter Forty: Rest

"Great~ Let's call it a day! I feel like you're really good in front of the camera, Mio-kun. You finished filming the commercial in just one morning."

Ms. Eri, who was very satisfied with Nozomi's work efficiency, was standing next to the photographer, looking at the photos that had just been taken, and couldn't help but sigh.

Having already changed back into her clothes, Xi Ling wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a tissue.

Even though the air conditioning in the studio is on full blast, I don't know why, but when I'm shooting, I break out in a cold sweat and feel inexplicably palpitations.

"Is the work finished?"

Hearing Ms. Jiang's affirmation, he couldn't help but feel happy and looked at Arisa, who had already returned from outside.

In other words, he can still go somewhere else to play with Arisa in the afternoon.

After noticing that Xi Ling was looking at her excitedly, she understood the boy's little thoughts and couldn't help but smile.

After Ms. Jiang Li finished explaining to him how long it would take for the payment to be deposited into his bank account, he and Arisa took the elevator.

"I just noticed you disappeared. What did you go about, Arisa?"

In the elevator.

He was a little curious about where Arisa had gone, as she didn't return until he was almost finished with his work.

She must have prepared some kind of surprise or shock for him. In this respect, Mio had no doubt about Arisa's ability.

"Well, I just went to the restroom and ran into someone I knew, so we chatted for a while."

Arisa spoke without changing her expression; she still didn't intend to tell him that she had become his boss.

After all, it's not funny to talk about this kind of thing.

"Now, let's find a place to eat first~ You must be a little hungry after a busy morning, Mio."

Seeing that Xi Ling didn't seem to believe her explanation, she quickly changed the subject.

Then, the two of them arrived at the shopping mall in Ginza that they frequented.

Because it was the weekend, the shopping mall was filled with groups of high school girls out shopping and relaxing, and you could occasionally spot a few familiar faces.

"Oh my~ Aren't these Chiya and Mio? What a coincidence!"

One of the girls recognized Hiyo immediately after seeing the boy's dazzling blond hair, as well as Arisa, who was equally eye-catching due to her tall figure.

"Chi Gua?"

Hearing someone call out their names, Arisa looked in the direction of the voice.

She recognized the girl from her class whom she had bumped into at the aquarium. The group of girls around her were probably her best friends, and their beautiful eyes seemed glued to Ximiao.

"So, are you on a date with Nozomi in Ginza today?" she asked gossipy.

"I guess so. I spent the whole morning helping Mio with her part-time job, and my back and waist were aching from sitting there. I was just hungry, so I came out to eat."

As she spoke, she pulled Xi Ling into her arms and declared her ownership of Xi Ling to the girls who were staring at her.

Suddenly feeling a weight on his head, Hiyo knew without a doubt that Arisa had placed a bear on his head.

That soft touch was a bit more elastic than Fanxia's teddy bear... Don't ask him how he knew; when he was taking a bath with Fanxia, ​​he was quite unrestrained, holding himself in her arms.

In addition, since he was usually the one whose face was often roughly handled by these two, he could naturally feel the difference.

After chatting with Arisa for a few more minutes, Chi Gua left with her friends, saying she didn't want to be a third wheel.

This sensible manner improved Arisa's impression of the girl.

"What~ Arisa, do you hate it when people stare at me?"

Xi Ling knew why she suddenly hugged him earlier; it was clearly because she was jealous, which was why he teased the girl like that.

But who would have thought...

"I'm not that possessive~ But the way they look at you, Mio, makes me feel uncomfortable, that's why I'm like this."

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry has the right to make a move on her cute little boyfriend; at the very least, he has to be at the level of that reclusive snow woman.

With that in mind, Arisa and Nozomi walked into the family restaurant, intending to grab something to eat and fill their stomachs.

Originally, she wanted to take Mio out to eat something nice while that shut-in Yuki-onna was away.

But Ximiao seemed reluctant to let her keep spending so much money, which is why she suggested having lunch at a family restaurant.

There was a booth in the restaurant.

Having already ordered what she wanted to eat, Xi Ling rested her chin on her hand, smiling as she looked at the girl in front of her.
