I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

At 10 o'clock, the group transferred to a rural bus and arrived together at the entrance of a guesthouse at the entrance of the mountain forest.

Nestled not far from a town surrounded by green mountains, a 450-square-meter Japanese-style guesthouse exudes a rustic charm. Although it appears old, the exterior facilities are remarkably well-preserved. The tranquil distant mountains and forests are breathtaking. Imagine, in winter, this place would be surrounded by snow-covered forests, situated at the entrance to the snow-capped mountains—just imagining it is enough to make visitors swoon.

Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Isn't it beautiful, senpai? Are you really going to buy such a big guesthouse in such a great location?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was a little troubled. She felt that Yui Yuigahama's happy expression made it seem as if her own family was going to buy the land...

Putting everything else aside, even Li Xuan, who was leading the group, was completely dumbfounded. It seemed even bigger than in the photos. He couldn't help but check the information, and after confirming it was indeed this place, he became even more confused. Such a nice hotel, really only selling for 3000 million yen?

Hitomi Mishima, who came along, also felt that it should be worth at least 60 million yen, and that it was unbelievable that it could be bought for 30 million yen.

Li Xuan checked several times and finally confirmed that it was indeed this place. He didn't quite understand why, but he decided to meet the shop owner here before making a final decision.

"..."

Yukino looked up at the two-story guesthouse. If he could buy this land, then the person she had been observing for almost a year—the one who worked tirelessly on the construction site, always covered in bruises—would finally be out of trouble.

The wind blew through Yukino's long hair.

Yui Yuigahama turned around and glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita.

She remained silent for a while, as if she was also hesitating about something.

Yui called out to Yukino, "Yukino, let's go inside and take a look."

"......Um."

Yukino snapped out of her daze and nodded.

While Li Xuan was negotiating with the shop manager, Xue Nai and a group of students went inside to visit the quiet yet large-scale upscale guesthouse.

Yukino walked inside, looking left and right, and it was unclear why she was looking at things so intently.

For her, it was a miracle.

"Why......."

Yukino still doesn't understand what Li Xuan has gone through in the past year.

"Xiaoxue, how much do you think it would cost to buy this house?"

Yui Yuigahama was also engrossed in watching and couldn't help but ask a question.

Yukino looked up at Liangzhu, thought for a moment, and replied, "I estimate it to be no less than seventy million."

"Wow! So expensive!?"

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino in surprise and asked.

"However, it seems that for some reason, the price has been reduced to 30 million."

Yukino then explained.

Yui couldn't help but mutter quietly, somewhat absentmindedly, "Senior Gen is really amazing. I never imagined he was secretly working at that shop, all for the sake of buying this house..."

However, this seemingly inappropriate remark made Yui realize that the content of her statement was somewhat problematic.

She couldn't help but glance at Yukino, only to find that Yukinoshita Yukino beside her was looking at her with a very surprised expression.

"That...isn't it..."

Yui stammered, trying to find a way to brush off Yukino.

"...Yuihama-san, did you know that he works at a host club?"

Unexpectedly, Yukino asked this question.

"!!"

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino in surprise, and after a long while, asked, "No... Yukino, do you know?"

"...How did you know that?"

Yukino asked with a serious expression.

Faced with Yukino's unusually serious question, Yui remained silent for a moment and then told Yukino about some things that had happened before.

When Yukino heard that Li Xuan had actually become the store manager, her eyes widened slightly, and she also felt a bit of a headache.

Unexpectedly, he has truly achieved success in his career.

However, no matter what, Yukino was unwilling to take this step, but the problem was that it was indeed not easy to do so.

It should be said that she was initially drawn to him by the meal he treated her to, and his impassioned words made her want to help him.

Now everything seems to have come true...

On the other hand, Li Xuan reached an agreement with the store manager.

While Li Xuan was still hesitating, the store manager himself lowered the price to 2700 million yen. Since the store had no dirty records, despite the potential trouble, Li Xuan couldn't help but buy it decisively!

Regardless, he felt this was an opportunity.

After Li Xuan completed the transaction and signed the contract, officially making the guesthouse his own, he walked out of the manager's door. There stood high school girl Shiori Sagamiya, who had been waiting for a long time, seemingly having something to say to him.

"Did you buy it, Senior Xuan?" Shiori asked.

"Yes, we bought it. So what?"

Li Xuan stood outside the door, looking at Shiori Hebi, and asked in confusion.

After a moment of silence, Shiori Sugimiya, seemingly prepared, handed a handwritten resume to Li Xuan.

"Please let me work part-time here."

Li Xuan was curious. He took the robot's resume and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why do you suddenly want to work for me? Don't you know...?"

"It is precisely because I know this that I have no worries. Among the people I know, you are the only store manager. I have also calculated the distance, which is about 45 minutes, which is barely acceptable. Most importantly, working for someone I know can maximize my interests."

"That's what the robot Shiori Sagamiya explained."

You don't need to worry about having your wages deducted or being disciplined or fired for doing other things during your free time at a store you know well. You can also negotiate a higher salary.

Li Xuan somewhat understood Shiori Sagamiya's thoughts, but he was curious. He always felt that Shiori Sagamiya wasn't the kind of student who lacked money, so he asked, "I understand these principles, but I don't quite understand why you suddenly chose to work part-time?"

"..."

Shiori Sagamiya was silent for a moment, then lowered her head slightly and explained, "Cultivating bacteria requires a lot of materials and professional equipment, which requires a lot of pocket money... Also, if I want to study biology, I need to continue until I get a doctorate, and the tuition fees will also be a large sum of money... So, I need to start saving money now."

The shadows of the trees swayed. Li Xuan remained silent for a moment, while Hebi Shiori lowered her head, seemingly having little choice as well.

These words are probably true.

But she didn't reveal some of her true intentions.

By doing this, she was essentially joining a company that managed organized crime funds.

Although the risk is minimal, this completely contradicts her previous aversion to the underworld, and she probably doesn't lack other part-time jobs with good conditions.

What was the purpose of the high school girl sneaking into the guesthouse of this yakuza executive?

Li Xuan had a general idea in mind.

In the end, Li Xuan did not refuse and agreed to marry Shiori Sagamiya.

After Li Xuan finished his conversation with the robot Sagamiya, as he walked down the corridor, Yukino, standing in a corner, spoke up: "Nitta."

Li Xuan looked over and saw Yukino Yukinoshita alone in the elegant courtyard.

"Miss Yukinoshita, what's wrong?"

Li Xuan stood on the wooden corridor and asked curiously.

Are you free now?

As the red leaves fluttered down, the girl watched him quietly, as if she had something to ask him. After a moment of silence, she finally asked, "Could you accompany me for a walk around the area?"

Chapter 096 Yukino's Statement (4k)

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, the mountains and forests were desolate, and the sky was sometimes bright and sometimes dark. The distant mountains and forests were mostly towering temperate trees, which covered the sky and the mountain winds howled. The town seemed to be about to be swallowed up by a "tsunami" of green life.

Houses, rice paddies, a straight road—Yukino and Li Xuan walked along this road leading to the mountains.

Yukino thought the scenery was really nice, and if she came in winter, the snow scenery here would definitely be beautiful.

However, her mind wasn't on the scenery. Strolling through this world alone with Li Xuan, her initiative in inviting him out was a way of making up for it.

She had only walked a few hundred meters when Yukino was surprised that Li Xuan didn't say anything to her.

Li Xuan followed behind, glancing at Yukino's back several times, still puzzled as to why she hadn't said a word when she called him out.

"Why did Miss call me out? She said she had something to say to me, but why is she so quiet?"

Li Xuan pondered Yukino's thoughts, puzzled.

But strolling through this beautiful mountain scenery, she seemed tireless and oblivious to time. Reaching a grove of trees, she asked, "Congratulations! You've finally achieved your dream. So, what's your next step?"

"Thank you. There are no special plans in the short term. At least it's more important to manage this shop well and earn enough capital and experience to make a living."

After thanking him, Li Xuan replied.

Next, Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the mountain path where the wind was blowing, quietly watching him without saying a word.

Strangely, the young man seemed to have short-circuited; he didn't make any move to strike up a conversation, but simply kept staring at her.

Yukino had never been on a date with a boy before, and she didn't know what a date was supposed to be about. She didn't even consider this a date, since Yui and several other girls had come. So this was just giving Li Xuan a chance to make a good impression. But the young man in front of her, who was sometimes too proactive, didn't react at all. Instead, Yukino's expression became a little troubled, as if she was waiting for something.

Just as Li Xuan was still trying to figure out what Yukino Yukinoshita was thinking, his cell phone rang in his pocket.

[Beep beep beep...]

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan took out his phone and glanced at it, only to see that it was [Yise] calling.

As a result, after seeing that Yukino did not respond, he answered the phone.

"Hey, um... Isshiki, what's up?"

Li Xuan asked in confusion.

When Yukino heard that it was Isshiki who had called, her expression immediately stiffened even more.

—【Senior, I heard from Yuihama-senpai that you're so mean! You bought a guesthouse without telling me! I want to go too! Why can Yukinoshita-senpai and Yuihama-senpai go, but I can't?】

The person on the other end of the phone seemed extremely dissatisfied, and their question sounded like an interrogation.
