A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Haruhara Ayaka laughed and said, "Nishiki, you wouldn't understand. If Li Weijun allows me to reveal more information to you, you'll know why I said that. Don't be curious about what's going on here. Sometimes, not knowing is a blessing."

Sui Jin said, "Damn it, Caihua, you're the one who piqued my curiosity, but you won't let me ask any further questions. Is Li Weijun some kind of underground emperor?"

Haruhara Ayaka smiled and said, "Although there are still some deviations, it is close to the truth. I know that you also have feelings for Li Weijun. Actually, I don't mind such things. If you have the courage, then go and get closer to Li Weijun."

Suijin didn't know what to say. Haruhara Ayaka's attitude was completely unexpected. She originally thought that the other party would be angry about this, but she didn't expect it to be like this.

Sui Jin said, "You are really magnanimous. You are not angry when other women appear around the man you like."

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Because I know that getting angry is useless. After all, what woman can resist Li Weijun's charm? It is precisely because I understand this that I know that there is no use in stopping some things. I just hope that I can have a place by his side, and that is enough."

Sui Jin didn't know what to say. It was an undeniable fact that Li Wei had a strong liking for Haruhara Ayaka, but now things had turned out this way. She felt that it was probably because neither of them knew how to face this relationship squarely.

Although Sui Jin hadn't spent much time with Li Wei, she could sense that he was a gentle person. Gentle people often care about the feelings of others but neglect their own, which is why they hesitate when faced with important relationships.

Sunohara Ayaka is also a gentle person. Both of them care about each other's feelings, so they are just one step away from getting together.

Suijin said, "Caihua, you won't know the outcome of some things unless you try. Li Weijun has a good impression of you, so don't hesitate! In my impression, Caihua, you are a gentle person, but you are also a person with your own opinions and courage. You are like a completely different person now, you are not like yourself anymore."

Ayaka Haruhara was taken aback. She hadn't expected that Honoki, who was practically her rival, would cheer her on. She was deeply moved. To her, Honoki was like a sister without blood ties, someone who was always incredibly reliable in crucial moments. And now, Honoki had given her vital courage. Now, she knew what she had to do; she would no longer hesitate or be afraid.

At this moment, Li Wei's smile changed as he stood upstairs. Without any deliberate guidance, both Ayaka Haruhara and Honoki moved in the direction he wanted. He had to admit, he was quite lucky. The two girls were practically on their own now; all he needed to do was express his feelings, and they would make their decision.

Sui Jin took off her apron and said, "I'll go call them up for dinner. It's time to close the shop today."

Not every shop in the shopping street stays open very late. There are late-night eateries, convenience stores that are open for 4 hours, and cheap bento shops. Apart from that, only the pachinko parlor is open for 4 hours. Other shops will gradually close after 7 pm.

The liquor shops in Suijin are among those that close relatively early. After all, customers usually come to the shop in the morning, and there are fewer customers in the afternoon, let alone in the evening.

Haruhara Ayaka said, "Leave the finishing touches to me. The three little girls have worked hard this afternoon too."

Due to time constraints, the pedestrians bought fast food bento boxes from a bento shop for lunch, but each bento was a deluxe bento box priced at 4 yen, with a very generous amount of dishes inside. Now it's dinner, so they need to eat something even more substantial.

Sui Jin arrived at the building and said, "Everyone, get ready for dinner. I'll close the door. You can go upstairs first."

Yuzuki Yuzu, carrying the metal box containing the renovation money, ran quickly to Suijin and said, "Sister Jin, look! This is today's revenue!"

Yuzu Yukimoto opened the lid of the tin box, which was filled with banknotes of various denominations.

"Huh? What's going on? What happened while I was cooking upstairs?" Sui Jin said, looking completely bewildered.

Tsukimi Risuke said, "Brother Li Wei was just standing at the door, and the older sisters and aunties who were passing by came in to buy alcohol. Although they didn't buy a lot, there were so many people coming. The total is 300,400 yen. You can check the bill on the barcode scanner."

In Japan, most people are used to paying with paper money, which is why the metal box can be so full.

Sui Jin looked at Li Wei. Li Wei's charm was truly terrifying. However, other women weren't blind either. With a handsome guy like Li Wei, they would definitely use all sorts of reasons to get close to him. Coming here to buy wine, they were probably all here for Li Wei.

Chapter 1. The So-Called Charm

Sui Jin checked the payment records on the barcode scanner and was immediately astonished. In the afternoon alone, more than seventy customers had come to shop. Although the individual purchases were not large, the total amount spent by all of them was quite staggering. Moreover, according to Yuzuki Yuzuki, all the customers who came to buy alcohol were women. Li Wei's charm was simply the best living advertisement.

Sui Jin looked at the records on her old desktop computer with a surprised expression and said, "This is too much. Normally, the daily turnover of loose goods is only about 70,000 yen."

Suijin's liquor store mainly earns its income through partnerships with various shops. She supplies liquor to nearby izakayas, European-style pubs, and various family restaurants. The liquor store's main income comes from these business partnerships, and the actual volume of retail sales is not very high.

The benefits Li Wei brings to the shop are obvious; if he stayed longer, the shop's sales would likely increase significantly. However, she also knew that Li Wei had his own things to do. Helping out occasionally was fine, but staying long-term was unrealistic.

Li Wei laughed and said, "I don't know why, but just standing at the entrance, people keep coming in to buy wine. I guess it's because the location is so good that it attracts a lot of attention."

Li Wei was pretending to be confused even though he knew the truth. After all, his persona was that of a gentle, approachable older brother, so it wasn't a problem for him to play dumb. Moreover, to the girl he liked, he really was a gentle, approachable older brother, so in a way, it wasn't exactly lying.

Sui Jin said, "I know this place well. Today's high revenue is all thanks to you, Li Weijun. It's dinner time now, everyone please go upstairs. Caihua is already waiting for you."

"Oh, okay," Yuzu Yukimoto replied, then led the two girls upstairs.

Watching the three girls run upstairs, Sui Jin blushed slightly and looked at Li Wei, whispering, "Li Wei-kun, you've helped me so much today, I don't know how to thank you enough. Could...could you close your eyes?"

Li Wei feigned a bewildered expression, then obediently did as he was told, closing his eyes and smiling, "Is this a surprise for me?"

Sui Jin took a deep breath, forcibly calming her racing heartbeat. Seeing that Li Wei had already closed his eyes, she quietly approached him and left a faint kiss mark on his face.

Li Wei opened his eyes, revealing a surprised expression. His superb acting skills perfectly conveyed the surprise of being suddenly attacked.

"Hurry up and go upstairs, dinner time is about to start! I'll be right up after I close the door." Sui Jin stood behind Li Wei and pushed him towards the stairs.

"Okay, okay, I'll go up now," Li Wei said helplessly.

Sui Jin's face was flushed, and even her ears were burning. She hadn't expected to be so bold. She would never have dared to do something like this before. It could only be said that love can make people do some irrational things. She hadn't thought about the consequences of her actions at all.

After seeing Li Wei go upstairs, Sui Jin covered her face and let out a whimper like a small animal. At this moment, she no longer had the cool and capable demeanor she usually gave off. Instead, she finally acted like a normal girl, and an extremely sweet one at that.

"What stupid things have I done? I hope Li Weijun won't hate me because of this. If he does, I'll go crazy," Sui Jin muttered to herself.

Sui Jin nervously closed the shop door and went upstairs. The upper floor of the liquor store was the living area, with a small part of it serving as a warehouse to supplement the upper floor's storage. The shop wasn't very big, so the upper floor space wasn't large either. It was just right for her personal life on weekdays, but with so many customers, it felt a bit crowded.

Kazami Yuri laughed and said, "Jin-jie, come and sit down. This is the result of your and Ayaka's hard work. It would be really unreasonable if you didn't take the first bite."

Sui Jin stole a glance at Li Wei. Li Wei still wore a warm smile, and just sitting there, he exuded a comforting feeling, like the spring sunshine. What Sui Jin didn't know was that her feeling was actually true. Li Wei was constantly radiating magical energy, which influenced the surrounding environment. Therefore, sitting next to Li Wei felt comfortable, not just psychologically, but also physically.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

This fluctuation also created Li Wei's sunny temperament. Because of this temperament, even when Li Wei is picking his nose, he is incredibly charming to women. This can be considered a positive feedback from the cultivation technique.

Li Wei, in some ways, is similar to the so-called "prodigy protagonist," except that the "prodigy protagonist" attracts women with his domineering aura, while Li Wei attracts women with his sunny and gentle temperament. There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between the two, after all, temperament is just a means, not an end.

 …

Li Wei smiled and said, "Jin, you've worked hard today too, it's time to rest. Caihua and I discussed it, aren't you busy with the celebration these days? If you need any help, we can come and assist you anytime."

Sui Jin said, "Thank you, this has really been a great help. But helping is helping, and you still need to be paid properly. I can't let you work for free."

The dinner atmosphere was harmonious and joyful, while on the other side, at Chun Yuan Zhuang, Shiina Aki, who was still training, felt like he was living a life worse than death. He was currently doing weight training with equipment. Alex had somehow gotten hold of a bunch of equipment, so he, with his small arms and legs, started training right away.

Shiina Aki felt like he was about to foam at the mouth, while Alex was grilling meat outdoors. Shiina Aki wondered if Sunohara-sou had any grilling equipment. The grilled meat was his dinner, but he had to finish his training before he could rest. Right now, he was still quite a distance from his goal, but he was already very hungry and felt his body starting to weaken. He didn't know how he had managed to get through the day; he was already somewhat numb from the scolding. Now he only felt immense pain. Alex's training was entirely based on the military system, which was far too cruel for an ordinary person like him.

Chapter 1. Finding Strengths

Alex looked at Shiina Aki, who was already exhausted, and said, "You sissy with excessive estrogen, a transvestite who looks no different from a woman, is this all you can do? I set the training goals according to the standards of your peers. Anyone with a penis could easily complete this kind of training. It's only because you're a piece of trash that you've dragged out the training until now."

Shiina Aki was numb to Alex's insults. At first, he felt angry and wanted to argue with him. But later, every word Alex said hit his weak spot and struck his vital point, making it impossible for him to retaliate. In addition, retaliating would likely get him beaten up, so he could only suppress his anger.

Alex, who was turning the meat on the grill, continued, "You are the worst trainee I've ever trained. Your willpower is the weakest I've ever seen. You slack off if no one is supervising you. Don't you want to become a real man? Is this how you treat your dream? If so, I suggest you get a sex change operation. Being a woman might be the best choice for you. That way, you can hide behind others with a clear conscience."

Shiina Aki was soaked in sweat. Although he gave the impression of undergoing rigorous training, his training volume was actually not high. Alex did not really demand that he follow the military standards. If he did follow the military standards, Shiina Aki would not have lasted for two hours before he collapsed. Alex gave him ample rest time between different training sessions. Regular soldiers do not receive such treatment; they are trained to the point of exhaustion.

Even with this level of castration, reducing the difficulty to a level that even a newborn could easily handle, Shiina Aki is still in this terrible state, which is why Alex won't give him a friendly look.

While it's true that everyone has their own pace and characteristics, and their own growth rhythm, and we shouldn't compare ourselves to others in everything, this statement is based on the premise that the person is a normal individual without any obvious weaknesses. Someone like Shiina Aki has no right to say such things.

Alex's true form, Li Wei, had investigated Shiina Aki's past and directly read her memories, so he had a considerable understanding of her. As mentioned earlier, the Shiina couple valued their more outstanding eldest daughter more, while they didn't devote much energy to Shiina Aki, who was extremely mediocre in many aspects except for her appearance. Shiina Aki couldn't be described as mediocre in many ways; she didn't even reach the average level of her peers.

Everyone has their own strengths, whether it's physical fitness, mental ability, or hands-on and creative skills. There are very few truly useless people in the world. Even Nobita, the protagonist of "Doraemon" who always messes things up, has his own strengths.

However, aside from her good looks, Shiina Aki had no redeeming qualities, which was what left Li Wei speechless. He couldn't imagine how useless a person could be, and Shiina Aki was the latest example.

Leaving aside physical education, Shiina Aki never passed any physical education tests in elementary school. As for brainpower, unlike his sister who was always among the top students in her grade, his grades were always at the bottom of the grade. Although he didn't quite reach the bottom of the grade, he wasn't much better. It's just that in Japan, you can get into national and high schools as long as you pay money. If it were a national college, a poor student like him would have been diverted to a vocational school to coast along long ago.

He's bad at sports and mental work, and Shiina Aki has no advantage in the arts either. He's clueless about art appreciation, can't paint or sculpt, and can't even sculpt clay properly. He also has no musical talent and can't sing in tune.

Li Wei tried hard to find Shiina Aki's strengths, but after searching for a long time, he finally came to the conclusion that besides her good looks, Shiina Aki really couldn't find any advantages. Moreover, even if she had a good-looking appearance, it didn't mean she could make a name for herself using that advantage. After all, these days, you need both good looks and talent to succeed in the entertainment industry. Someone like Shiina Aki, who can neither sing nor dance, doesn't even qualify as a pretty face idol.

After all, the training for "pretty idols" is very rigorous. Their singing, dancing, and acting skills cannot be too bad. If they don't meet the standards, they don't even qualify to debut.

Even if one were to become a male host, Shiina Aki's poor interpersonal skills would make it difficult to persuade women to willingly pay for his drinks. After all, while the entry barrier for male hosts is low, not just anyone can do it. In contrast, Roland, a top male host in the real world of Japan, is extremely strict with himself. His physique, honed through rigorous self-training, his eloquence acquired through hard work, and his strict management of his personal image are what allow him to stand out in the industry.

Even being a male escort requires strict self-discipline and hard work to improve oneself. Shiina Aki, with her weak nature and serious lack of perseverance, cannot endure such hardship.

Shiina Aki isn't without a way to make a living off her looks. These days, wealthy women are quite interested in younger men. If Shiina Aki were willing to abandon her dignity and become an obedient puppy, she could achieve a life of effortless success. However, this kind of effortless success depends on not encountering a perverted older woman who likes to play with steel wool and make a fuss. If she were to encounter such a wealthy woman, Shiina Aki's small frame wouldn't be able to handle it.

It's fair to say that without his good looks, Shiina Aki would have absolutely no advantage. And while his good looks might help him attract some women during his school years, once he enters the real world, both men and women become very pragmatic. Someone like Shiina Aki, who has no redeeming qualities other than his appearance, would only be disliked or taken advantage of.

Alex said, "That's it for today's training. Any unfinished training will be carried over to tomorrow. The doctor will give you medication when he gets back. If you still can't finish training tomorrow, your supplementary training will accumulate. Be prepared, you sissy."

Before Alex could finish speaking, Shiina Aki had already collapsed to the ground. He didn't want to move anymore and just wanted to rest, but hunger was still tormenting him. His eyes were drawn to the grilled meat on the grill, and the rich aroma made his mouth water.

Shiina Aki was used to being called a sissy by Alex, because compared to Alex's muscular body, his limbs, which were as thin as matchsticks, did indeed appear too weak.

Chapter 1. Inner Cowardice

After a while, Shiina Aki was so hungry that she slowly got up, walked over to Alex, and sat down next to the grill.

Before him was a plate of roasted beef, which smelled incredibly fragrant thanks to the abundance of spices. Shiina Aki grabbed a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, but then he felt nauseous. It wasn't that the beef tasted bad, but rather that his extreme fatigue had affected his saliva production—a negative effect of his poor physical condition.

Shiina Aki forced herself to chew the meat in her mouth, then swallowed it down hard. With something in her stomach, the feeling of hunger wasn't so strong anymore.

Suppressing his nausea, Shiina Aki tore into the beef, and the feeling of fullness from his lower abdomen made him feel that he had finally regained some strength.

Shiina Aki looked at Alex's profile as he was still flipping the beef and said, "Instructor, it seems like you really dislike me. You didn't hold back at all when you scolded me."

Alex continued grilling the beef without looking up, saying, "I don't hate you. I can't be bothered to hate a spineless coward. That's a characteristic of Marine Corps training. If you want to get stronger, you have to give up your pointless pride."

Shiina Aki said, "But if a person has no self-respect, wouldn't they be no different from an animal?"

It wasn't training time, which is why Shiina Aki dared to speak to Alex like that. If it were training time, he would have to be prepared to get beaten up if he dared to say those things.

Alex glanced at Shiina Aki and said, "If you had ever seen real hell, you wouldn't say such foolish things. When faced with a choice between life and death, pride is the most boring and useless thing. On the battlefield, a bean sprout like you dies the fastest because you can't let go of your pride."

Shiina Aki fell silent. He suddenly realized something: the man in front of him was no ordinary person, but a former Marine Corps member who might have even participated in war. Such a strongman who had crawled out of piles of corpses had a worldview that was different from that of ordinary people. It was ridiculous to judge him by the standards of an ordinary person.

Shiina Aki said, "A real hell, Instructor. Have you ever participated in a war?"

Alex said, "It was more than just participating. I wasted the best years of my ordinary life on meaningless wars. The battlefield even became my home. After retiring, it took me two whole years to gradually adapt to this relatively peaceful world of ordinary people."

Shiina Aki said, "I think your experience is quite legendary, Instructor. Retired veterans are really cool! I wish I could become a strong man like you."

Alex said, "To become a powerful person, you have to pay a price far beyond what ordinary people pay. Can you afford to make that kind of sacrifice?"

Alex's eyes were full of doubt, which made Shiina Aki feel that his self-esteem had been challenged, but he did not answer him because he knew that what the other party said was indeed a problem, and he did not have enough perseverance.
