Chapter 550: Chapter 351: How to deal with the paparazzi? (Target of 8000 words achieved)

Flying from Okinawa to Tokyo took about three hours.

Then it took some more time to drop Shen Gu Mirai off at her home from Haneda International Airport.

Around noon, Beichuan Si, with a backpack and a luggage bag, stopped in front of his own house.

Today was Saturday, May 11.

So, Beichuan Hui Li should not have had to go to school.

But there was no sound coming from the Beichuan Family home, and upon closer inspection, it was evident that even the curtains were tightly drawn.

What exactly was going on here?

Moreover, the atmosphere around was somewhat peculiar.

"Mr. Temple, someone in the shadows is watching you," Magong Yongshi’s timely reminder came.

His tone was so calm that it didn’t resemble that of the young girl who had screamed repeatedly on the plane ride.

"I know, but these gazes hold no malice... If I had to say, it feels more like speculation... curious malevolence," Beichuan Si nodded.

Having nearly eight times the physical capabilities of an average person, Beichuan Si had a unique sharpness to people’s gazes.

Even without Magong Yongshi’s reminder, he would have known that someone nearby was watching from the shadows.

This might just be what Beichuan Hui Li meant when she’d mentioned that ’the situation was a bit complicated’?

Under the surveillance hiding in the shadows, Beichuan Si pushed the door open and entered his home.

As soon as the door opened, hurried footsteps followed by the distinctive call of Beichuan Hui Li sounded: "Brother Temple! You’re back!"

"Yeah, just got off the plane," Beichuan Si said as he tidied his outdoor shoes, then took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet to put on.

Beichuan Hui Li was dressed in simple home wear, exuding a youthful vitality.

Beside her stood a nervous Nakajima Michika, fidgeting with her hands.

"...Let’s sit down and discuss whatever it is," Beichuan Si motioned towards the inside of the house.

He was also curious about what exactly had happened.

...

Following the explanations from Nakajima Michika and Beichuan Hui Li, Beichuan Si finally understood what had transpired.

A few days ago, on their way back from Yamanashi Prefecture, Nakajima Michika had been recognized by a fan.

"Shihua was all covered up with a hat, sunglasses, and a large mask, yet she was still recognized," Beichuan Hui Li was mystified as she discussed the incident.

It was unclear how the fans had managed to identify Nakajima Michika.

At that time, Michika’s hair was hidden, her face was concealed, everything was thoroughly covered, yet she was still discovered.

Once, Beichuan Hui Li had heard that someone had pinpointed the exact location of a female idol just through the reflection in her eyes.

Of course, Beichuan Hui Li refused to believe it.

But considering the current situation, she couldn’t help but believe it.

After the exposure of Nakajima Michika’s whereabouts, it naturally caught the attention of various major music media.

They tried various means to reach the Beichuan home, hoping to meet Nakajima Michika.

But Beichuan Hui Li and Nakajima Michika were no fools.

If they revealed her stay at the Beichuan home at this time, it would be playing into the media’s trap.

After all, the media were just at a stage of suspicion and had not caught any definitive evidence.

Thus, for the past few days, Nakajima Michika had stayed in her room without going out, with all meals brought in from outside by Beichuan Hui Li.

"Later, Sister Qiuxiao learned about it and specifically sent someone to negotiate with those music companies, so many watchers outside left. Only a few persistent paparazzi are still camping outside our house."

Beichuan Hui Li’s fingers twirled nervously together, and she shyly looked up at Beichuan Si: "Brother Temple..."

Beichuan Si had merely returned, only to be greeted with such a huge surprise.

He shouldn’t be angry, right?

Beichuan Hui Li quietly raised her head.

Under her gaze, Beichuan Si’s expression remained unchanged.

He poured a cup of tea, took a sip, then spoke to calm their emotions: "You don’t have to look like you’re afraid I’ll punish you. I’m not unreasonable. This incident really isn’t much related to you."

Indeed, Nakajima Michika had done everything possible to conceal her identity.

It would be somewhat unfair to blame her when she had been discovered despite that.

Moreover, dealing with the persistent tabloid paparazzi in this world was inherently difficult; it was normal for the two of them to be overwhelmed.

Nakajima Michika’s decision had also been absolutely correct.

If she had confronted the issue personally, it would have likely led to an even more uncontrollable situation.

Now that they were still managing the situation, there was no need to worry.

Hearing what Beichuan Si said, Nakajima Michika and Beichuan Hui Li both sighed in relief.

Honestly, they weren’t particularly concerned about the tabloid news; what worried them more was Beichuan Si’s attitude.

After all, in their minds, they had a fixed notion: with Beichuan Si around, big problems would become small, and small problems would be no problem at all.

That being said, Nakajima Michika and the others were still curious about how Beichuan Si planned to handle the gossip reporters camping outside.

Using violence to drive them away would only raise suspicions, and having that blasted all over magazine news would be utterly disgusting.
