A Single Person's Infinite Wonderful Life

Li Wei: (I can only completely let down my guard when I'm with girls. After all, they're not my subordinates or business partners, so I don't need to put on an act. That's why I talk a lot more than usual at those times.)

Akino Sakura imagined in her mind Li Wei, dressed in a suit and tie with a serious expression, sitting in an office chair, listening to his subordinates' work reports and speaking in a magnetic and authoritative voice. Just thinking about that scene was incredibly charming.

On the other side, Li Wei wanted to complain: Where did this domineering CEO come from? Why do girls always have such fantasies? Can't they think of something else?

However, Li Weinian thought that ordinary people's fantasies are often structured based on their own knowledge. If they don't know something, they naturally don't even know how to imagine it. Just like someone who has never seen "Star Wars" will find it very difficult to reconstruct the relevant content in their mind based on what others say.

·Requesting flowers·· ······

It's perfectly normal that Sakura Akino, limited by her own knowledge, can only fill in this level of information in her mind.

Li Wei: (I enjoy spending time with girls. Perhaps this hobby seems strange to others, but I simply find it relaxing. Especially mature and understanding girls; they give me a sense of security.)

Sakura Akino noticed an important word: mature and sensible. This wasn't the first time Li Wei had mentioned it, which showed that mature and sensible girls held a lot of weight in Li Wei's heart.

... ... ...

Akino Sakura placed her phone against her ample chest, a smile on her face. She realized that she was very much like the girl Li Wei had described, which made her even happier.

Sakura Akino: (Li Weijun, what are you doing right now?)

Li Wei: (He sends you a message, then sits there bored.)

Sakura Akino: (Li Weijun, are you home alone?)

Li Wei: (Hmm, what's wrong?)

Akino Sakura: (If you're bored, you can come out and hang out. Li Weijun, you're a foreigner, so you're probably not very familiar with Tokyo, right?)

After saying those words, Akino Sakura's cheeks burned, and she rolled around on the bed, making strange noises.

"So embarrassing, so embarrassing, so embarrassing! I can't believe I said something like that to someone else, I'm such an idiot!" Akino Sakura wailed.

Li Wei, on the other side, smiled as he read the message from Akino Sakura. How could he bear to refuse such a lovely girl?

Li Wei: (Okay, let's find a place to meet up and go out for some fun. I'm not familiar with this area, so it's perfect that you can be my guide.)

When Akino Sakura saw the news of Li Wei's return, she was instantly stunned. She quickly replied to Li Wei, fearing that he might change his mind.

Li Wei saw everything she did. Sakura Akino was an adorable girl with a charmingly contrasting personality, and he enjoyed teasing girls like her.

Chapter 1. Traveling Together

Li Wei: (Taking a taxi is too much trouble, so I'll just come pick you up from your house, senior.)

Akino Sakura: (Li Weijun, your car is too flashy! And those long sedans are not only difficult to drive in busy areas, but it's also hard to find a suitable parking space. It's very troublesome.)

Sakura Akino knew about Li Wei's car. She wasn't usually interested in cars, but because of Li Wei, she searched for information about his car.

She was shocked when she searched online. One of only ten handcrafted, custom-made extended Bentleys in the world—a top-tier luxury car with only ten units produced—was in Li Wei's possession. This was a car that could buy an ordinary family car with just a minor scratch. If something happened to it in the city center, she couldn't afford the responsibility.

Li Wei: (Don't worry, it's really inconvenient for someone that big to navigate a busy area. I came to pick you up on a motorcycle.)

Sakura Akino breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wasn't that incredibly expensive extended Bentley that was brought out. But as she came to her senses, another problem arose.

Sakura Akino: (Li Weijun, do you have a motorcycle driver's license?)

Li Wei: (Don't worry, after coming to Japan, I got a local motorcycle driver's license, the kind with a passenger compartment. Senior, please send me your location so I can come pick you up.)

Sakura Akino's heart raced. She never imagined that she would be able to go out with Li Wei, and even spend time alone with him. She never dared to dream of such a thing before.

Sakura Akino gave Li Wei her home location, and then she saw that Li Wei's status changed from online to busy, which meant he was probably getting ready to go out.

Li Wei mounted his understated yet robust heavy motorcycle. Remodeled using weapon-forging techniques, it looked almost identical to the original, but with the added features, its safety was comparable to a tank. After starting the motorcycle, Li Wei quickly left the wealthy district and headed towards Akino Sakura's house.

Although he was riding a motorcycle, Li Wei did not speed, but obediently followed the speed limit. It took him about half an hour to arrive at Akino Sakura's house.

After Li Wei arrived outside Akino Sakura's house, he called her.

When the call connected, Li Wei smiled and said, "Senior, I'm already downstairs at your place."

Sakura Akino opened her bedroom window and saw Levi parked his motorcycle downstairs, his helmet off. Levi looked so handsome on the motorcycle. Sakura understood why so many girls liked him; his appearance alone was practically addictive to women, making them irresistibly drawn to him.

Akino Sakura waved and ran downstairs. She had already changed her clothes and was ready to go, just waiting for Li Wei to pick her up.

Li Wei saw Akino Sakura running out the door. The girl's outfit caught her eye: a plain-colored tight-fitting top with a white vest, and a matching pleated cherry-pink skirt. Pure white stockings tightly hugged her slightly fleshy, slender legs, and she wore a pair of small white casual sneakers decorated with cherry blossoms. The white and pink hues perfectly reflected her own temperament.

Li Wei smiled and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, senior. There was a bit of traffic on the way here."

Akino Sakura smiled and said, "It's much faster than I expected. Li Weijun, where do you want to go? I'm very familiar with Tokyo. Just tell me roughly where you want to go, and I can plan a route for you."

Tokyo's roads are incredibly complex, and even locals wouldn't claim to know the city perfectly. However, they can usually figure out the general route, especially with today's advanced navigation technology. As long as you tell them where you want to go, the navigation system can find the best route.

Li Wei patted the seat behind him and said, "Senior, come on up first. Are there any interesting attractions in Tokyo, the kind that outsiders don't know about but locals go to often, like hidden gems for locals?"

Sakura Akino awkwardly straddled the back of the motorcycle. Although the motorcycle was quite large, the seat wasn't very big. Once she sat down, the slightly angled seat made her unconsciously lean towards Levi.

Akino Sakura took the motorcycle helmet from Li Wei's hand, put it on her head, and somewhat awkwardly fastened the safety buckle.

Akino Sakura said, "I know a small shrine in Arakawa Ward. People outside of Tokyo don't know much about it. There's a matchmaking tree there. It's said that couples who pray under that big tree will be able to find their soulmate."

Sakura Akino recommended this spot to Li Wei with her own ulterior motives, because it is a very effective place for finding a partner. For decades, countless couples have come here to fulfill their vows. Among various small shrines, this shrine is a very special one. The place is not bustling, but it is very popular with worshippers.

Li Wei laughed and said, "Is it really that amazing? If it is, it would be a real shame not to go and see for yourself."

Li Wei was well aware of the girl's little thoughts, but these were things that should be kept quiet even if one saw through them. To win a girl's heart, one had to learn to play dumb.

The male protagonists in harem anime who are good at playing dumb are often those who know how to feign ignorance and smooth things over, so that they can avoid trouble in their harem.

With his mind-reading abilities, it's even easier for Li Wei to feign ignorance.

Sakura Akino clenched her little fist, her heart leaping with joy. She hadn't expected that Li Wei hadn't suspected the shrine at all; he had agreed to go there without hesitation.

"Senior, sit tight. If you feel unsteady, you can hold onto my waist," Li Wei said.

Akino Sakura gave a soft "hmm" and obediently wrapped her arms around Li Wei's waist, pressing herself tightly against his back.

Li Wei savored the girl's unique fragrance, like the scent of flowers. It was a light pink cherry blossom scent, just like being under a cherry blossom tree, sweet and dreamlike.

Sakura Akino took out her phone, set the route, and then had Li Wei place it on the handlebar rack of the motorcycle.

Li Wei drove the girl along with the flow of traffic, proceeding unhurriedly. However, they didn't travel for long before they left the traffic. Because the shrine was located in a relatively quiet area of ​​Arakawa Ward, the latter part of the road was very clear.

Soon, the motorcycle stopped near their destination. There was still some time before dark, enough for the two of them to explore the shrine.

After the two put their helmets away, Akino Sakura took Levi's hand and headed towards the shrine. The Arakawa Ward seemed rather old-fashioned, like another world compared to other core bustling areas of Tokyo. However, this feeling, full of late Showa era charm, reminded Levi of city pop, or rather, vaporwave music.

"The feel of this old street is surprisingly nice," Li Wei remarked.

Holding Li Wei's hand, Akino Sakura smiled and said, "Compared to the bustling city center, this place has a more vibrant, lived-in atmosphere, and such places often hide many treasures."

Chapter 4. Shrine

The shrine at their destination was located in a rather unique residential area. The entire area was built against the mountain, a rare mountainous terrain in the vast plains of Tokyo, which reminded Li Wei of his hometown, a mountain town.

However, all the residents here live in detached houses and low-rise buildings, making the shrine, located halfway up the mountain, very conspicuous. The two arrived at the foot of the mountain. To reach the shrine, one needs to climb more than ten meters of steps and then walk along a narrow path to reach the final destination.

There were still many tourists going up and down the stone steps, which shows that this place is quite popular.

Li Wei said, "It's really strange that such a small shrine has such popularity. If you didn't know better, you would think it was some famous and large shrine."

Sakura Akino smiled and said, "Because this place is very efficacious, it is very popular with young people. Everyone likes to come and pray when they have free time. Many couples met at the shrine."

Li Wei wanted to complain inwardly, "This shrine has turned into a matchmaking event." But in this era of declining birth rates and a reluctance to marry, it's quite rare to find a shrine that governs marriage.

The stone steps are quite old, but because they are well maintained, they don't feel loose when you step on them. This solid feeling underfoot gives you peace of mind.

Li Wei glanced at the people going up and down the mountain out of the corner of his eye. Most of them were teenagers and students. People around thirty years old were very rare, and there were none over forty. The shrine was indeed geared towards a very young population.

Akino Sakura held Li Wei's arm tightly. To onlookers, the two looked like a perfect match, so much so that people around them couldn't help but turn their attention to them.

Li Wei laughed and said, "It seems that you are very charming, senior. You are indeed the unattainable beauty of Ximu Niao High School."

Akino Sakura blushed, gently pinched Li Wei's arm, and whispered, "Li Wei-kun, do you really enjoy teasing me?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "I'm just telling the truth. Do you think the students in the school would lie?"

Sakura Akino said, "Where do I get such great charm?"

Li Wei laughed and said, "Senior, you need to have more confidence in yourself. You are like a rough gem that has not yet been carved, but even now, you are already incredibly charming. Once you are fully carved, I wonder how beautiful you will be."

Li Wei could easily utter compliments about girls, but he wasn't just spouting nonsense. Akino Sakura was already so charming now, and her charm would naturally increase after they cultivated together. At that time, Li Wei would be able to appreciate her most beautiful side.

The steps weren't long, and Li Wei and Akino Sakura quickly reached the top. After passing through the torii gate, Li Wei sensed that the shrine had no mysterious elements and no supernatural power. In other words, the so-called "connection" was either a series of coincidences or someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes.

However, considering that Japan is now highly aging and has a low birth rate, with young people choosing not to marry or have children, it is plausible that the behind-the-scenes promoters want to use this method to encourage young people to date and form couples.

There can't be that many coincidences, so among these men and women who have found love, there must be some who are planted. Then, the behind-the-scenes promoters spread the shrine's fame through publicity, attracting more and more young men and women to worship here. As a result, this place has become a large matchmaking venue, except that there is no host and the pairing is completely free.

Li Wei's thinking speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. In a short moment, he had already understood the truth about this shrine. There must be similar shrines in other regions. It has to be said that this indirect approach can eliminate the resistance of young people to the greatest extent and naturally allow the young men and women who come here to find their own marriage.

Li Wei thought the person who came up with this scheme was truly despicable. Anyone with a brain knows how difficult the world is these days; in this world, persuading someone to marry is tantamount to cutting off their family line. Knowing the current climate is bad, to still use this method to trap young people—in Li Wei's opinion, the person who devised this scheme must have no conscience at all.

However, Li Wei is currently accompanying Akino Sakura on her pilgrimage and sightseeing trip. Akino Sakura is unaware of the truth about this place. She brought Li Wei here so that the two of them could at least form a bond.

Li Wei naturally had to accept the girl's feelings. It's hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. The girl had already gone to such lengths and taken such initiative, how could he ignore her feelings?

The shrine wasn't very large. After walking through a path lined with artificial trees and past dozens of stone lanterns, Li Wei and Akino Sakura arrived at the main hall of the shrine. Small shrines like this usually have small buildings inside.

Akino Sakura released Li Wei's hand and smiled, "Li Wei-kun, watch how I do it, and you can just follow along. This place is very effective. I'm going to make a wish."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll watch your demonstration first, and then I'll try."

Sakura Akino first took out a 100-yen coin from her wallet, dropped it into the offering box, clasped her hands together, bowed her head and made a wish, then grabbed the thick rope above the offering box and gently shook it a few times, the bell above the rope making a crisp sound.

After Akino Sakura finished, she returned to Li Wei's side and said with a smile, "Alright, Li Wei-kun, I've made my wish. Now it's your turn."

Li Wei smiled and said, "Senior, what do you study? I'm very curious."
