The Difference Between Men and Women When Caring for Kids

Although I don't know how good their acting skills are, at least their attitude is very proper.

However, there is a problem: they are clearly tense after Shuya's appearance.

He had heard them talking before he came in, but now they were all silent.

Shuya felt that there was something wrong with this approach.

If they're constantly nervous, they might not be able to relax and be themselves during filming.

However, this wasn't something he should be concerned with; it was something the director and others needed to resolve.

Shuya hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should strike up a conversation with them.

Just then, Matsumoto Tomoka's manager, who was sitting in a corner, laughed and said, "Tomoka-chan, why aren't you saying anything? Didn't you say you wanted to exchange LINE accounts with Shu-chan?"

"Wait, wait!"

Matsumoto Tomoka blushed.

"Speaking of which, my Seiji-kun also mentioned wanting to exchange LINE accounts."

The agents came out to ease the tension.

Amami Seiji nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes!"

Shuya readily agreed, "Yeah, no problem. Anyway, we're in the same production team, and we do need to exchange LINE accounts for easier communication."

Even if the manager doesn't say anything, everyone will exchange Line numbers sooner or later.

Shuya didn't say anything, but instead cooperated by taking out his phone and exchanging Line numbers with them.

After this round of conversation, the two seemed less nervous.

"Inoue- kun, isn't Ms. Maeda coming today?"

Amami Seiji's manager was making small talk.

"Hmm. She should be staying with my mom, right?"

The manager said, "Ms. Hanazawa? I remember Tomoka-chan is a fan of hers."

"Yes, yes..."

Matsumoto Tomoka bowed her head in response.

"Is that so? Thank you."

Shuya didn't have any particular feelings about this.

Hanazawa Sakura has a lot of fans, so it's not surprising that she's one of them.

Amami Seiji then said, "Um, Inoue- senpai, I heard your album has sold over 70 million copies worldwide. Congratulations!"

Matsumoto Tomoka nodded vigorously. "Yes, congratulations! You're amazing, senpai!"

The two agents echoed:

Congratulations!

"Inoue- kun has completely broken records this time; he's sure to win a lot of awards this year."

Their words surprised Shuya: "What? It's already seventy million?"

Section 616, page 574: Differences in childcare between men and women.

The album has sold over 70 million copies worldwide...

Shuya had absolutely no idea about this.

In fact, he had long since stopped caring about the album; his attention had been drawn to Ayase, Kirino, and Li Shuhong.

As for whether he was happy or not, needless to say, he was definitely happy. However, he wasn't as happy as they imagined.

Album sales are just for fun.

Shuya casually echoed their congratulations, preventing the atmosphere from becoming awkward.

After chatting about this for a while, Mai came in.

"Good morning."

She greeted him cheerfully, seemingly in a good mood.

"Morning."

"Good morning."

Shuya and the others replied.

Mai sat down naturally beside him and took out the script, placing it on the table.

Shuya struck up a conversation with her. "What did you and Yukino talk about the day before yesterday?"

"It's nothing, basically just bad things said about you."

Mai replied casually.

"Speaking ill of me? I haven't done anything wrong."

"Hehe."

"Hehe."

Shuya smiled in response.

She didn't intend to continue the topic, and said, "I heard you talking before I came in. Your album sales have surpassed 70 million? Congratulations."

"Thanks."

Shuya said, "I just don't know what the final sales figures will be."

"Who can say for sure?"

Mai couldn't answer that question either.

The others laughed and said, "It might even reach a hundred million."

"It's possible, it's possible."

"That's really too powerful."

Whether they truly meant it or not, Shuya still smiled and thanked them.

After Mai entered, the other actors arrived one after another.

Once everyone had arrived, Horiuchi Susumu and other officials quickly entered. Aoki Shin was not present today; he seemed to be busy with something, and he wasn't even at the company.

Nothing particularly noteworthy happened after that.

Everyone began their work for the day by reading the script.

Specifically, this involves reading the lines aloud to identify any parts that feel awkward or could be improved.

In the first episode, Shuya and Mai have very few scenes; they mainly serve as spectators.

Both he and Mai were observing the two main characters.

Honestly, it's pretty average, nothing special, just average but nothing outstanding.

Horiuchi Susumu seemed to accept it fairly, but he still interrupted them from time to time, carefully guiding their acting.

The acting of the others was fine; after all, they're all veteran actors.

People, including Shuya, had roughly expected that the two lead actors were only at this level, so they weren't disappointed. They just patiently read the script with them, occasionally offering suggestions and advice.

The group slowly studied the script for the first episode, reading it from morning until noon.

It was successfully completed within the scheduled time, and everyone was quite satisfied.

Then everyone dispersed to attend to other tasks, and the two lead actors also had to go back to practice their acting skills.

In this light, Shuya and Mai seem to be the most free.

They hadn't arranged it beforehand, but they both understood that they would act together.

After leaving the company, Shuya asked:

Where should we eat?

"I heard about Ayase and Kirino, let's go find them together."

Mai said, "I made some snacks for them, I'll take them over."

"You're really thoughtful."

"But you really don't care about them at all. You just left them behind and went back to play games."

Mai made a comment.

I believe I've done enough.

Shuya shrugged.

What Mai thinks is none of his business; as long as he has a clear conscience, that's enough.

Perhaps this is what they mean by the difference between men and women raising children...

Mai said she wanted to visit the set, and he didn't object. They went together to the Unfinished Building.

Only Ayase Kirino was training, Li Shuhong was having fun, Motoko was still at school.

Mai showed them some concern after arriving at the scene, Shuya took advantage of their conversation to have his subordinates bring them food.

After lunch, Mai left some snacks as a token of her appreciation and then left with Shuya.

Having witnessed their dedication to cultivation, she felt embarrassed to stay and disturb them, so she simply left with Shuya.

"They are so hardworking, they are all good kids."

After walking a distance, Mai couldn't help but sigh.

"So far, their attitude is acceptable."

Shuya also acknowledged this.

But persistence is key; putting in effort for a day or two doesn't prove anything.

"..."

Seeing that he had no intention of discussing the topic, Mai also had no intention of continuing the conversation.

In reality, she didn't know much about martial arts training, so it was quite difficult to continue the conversation.

Then she remembered something else. "Do you really want Yui- chan to join the agency?"

"Yes. You heard about it from her yesterday?"

Shuya didn't go to school yesterday, and I don't know what Yukino asked her or what she said to Mai and the others.

I've only heard a little about it.

Yuigahama seemed shy and didn't mention the relationship issues that Shuya had discussed with her.

Shuya knew that Yuigahama hadn't brought up the truth, so he didn't say anything either.

He simply said, "I'll see if I can let her do an internship during the summer vacation. But I'll have to ask my mom's opinion first."

"Yui- chan is so cute, the president will definitely say yes."

Mai mentioned Yuigahama, and then thought of another person, "Speaking of which, the girl we helped before, she was from the same school as me."

"Really? What a small world."

Shuya replied, surprised.

"But more than that, I'd like to know what you and Yukino- chan actually talked about."

He laughed, a rather lewd laugh.

"They're all saying bad things about you."
