I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

"Miss Yang Nai, what are you doing? This is outrageous..."

Li Xuan, feeling guilty, immediately tried to avoid Yang Nai.

However, Yang Nai, whose hands were pressed against Li Xuan's chest, slowly raised her head, squinted at Li Xuan suspiciously, and asked, "There's still Yukino's scent...."

A cold wind was blowing, and Li Xuan felt very cold.

No, Yukino only grabbed his clothes hard with her hand, but Haruno could smell that?

"Miss Yang Nai, were you born in the Year of the Dog?"

Li Xuan looked down at Yang Nai in shock and asked.

"You're mistaken... How could it possibly smell like the Second Young Lady? Impossible!"

Li Xuan's voice trembled slightly as he forcefully denied it.

"It's possible I smelled it wrong, but never mind, I was just saying. Look, you seem really nervous."

Yang Nai didn't seem to care much about this, and with a mischievous smile, she said.

Li Xuanxu was startled, realizing that Yang was just playing a trick on him.

"But have you seen her before, my sister, Yukino?"

Yang asked this question out of the blue.

This question left Li Xuan speechless.

But before Li Xuan could answer, Yang Nai said indifferently, "No matter what, her connection with you... cannot be ignored, and that's only right."

The sisters raised by the Yukinoshita family unexpectedly fall for the same person...

Yukino did not deny her sister's experience; in fact, she felt very sorry for Yukino.

"Cough cough, alright, walk faster, or you'll catch a cold."

Yang Nai stopped bringing up the topic and walked to the supermarket entrance, where she spoke to Li Xuan.

Upon hearing the call, Li Xuan prepared to step forward.

Don't overthink it.

There's no need to feel sorry for anyone.

At least, Li Xuan hadn't figured out how to reply to Yukino or how to continue down this path.

Ultimately, happiness is about what's in front of you.

Li Xuan took a step forward and walked down towards Yang Nai at the door.

.......

The next morning.

Yang Nai left home very early.

She rode her bicycle to the supermarket to buy groceries for the day.

White snow piled up on the roadside, a cold wind blew in gusts, and Yang Nai had very little money left for living expenses.

However, until a few days ago, she had sensed a figure watching her.

She was silent for a moment before turning around and saying to a figure hiding not far away, "Yukino, come out. It's not a good idea for you to keep following me."

As a result, in the dimly lit corner, the figure trembled slightly.

"..." Yukino, wearing a blue coat, hesitated for a moment before stepping out.

※※※※※

At seven o'clock, Li Xuan had already left home before Yang Nai.

He deliberately brought a bunch of books with him, but actually went to work part-time at the supermarket.

From the highest point to the lowest point, Li Xuan gave up his own dream and moved forward for Yang Nai's dream.

However, there always seems to be a shortage of manpower at the seafood market. The older men and women either can't understand the bills or there isn't enough labor. Li Xuan, wearing his work clothes, sometimes has to stand over at the slaughtering area to help customers process seafood.

"Alright, sir, your crab has been prepared."

Li Xuan carefully packaged the crabs and handed them cleanly to the customers waiting at the front desk.

However, at that very moment, Li Xuan spotted a familiar figure at the seafood market that morning.

She was a lovely girl with brown hair and a thick scarf around her neck.

Li Xuan was stunned for a moment, looking at Isse who had suddenly appeared here.

......

Isshiki Iroha waited for Li Xuan to finish get off work at noon, but it seemed that this high school girl was too cute and too polite, which made the manager feel sorry for her. As a result, he let Li Xuan leave work early. If it weren't for the fact that business is only busy after 11 o'clock, there would definitely be a bunch of uncles and aunts following them out.

"I got your location from an older man I knew before."

Iroha told Li Xuan why she was able to find him.

After hanging around for a while, Isshiki seemed to know Baba Kiyoshi. It seemed that she had been pressing Baba for answers on her phone for a very long time, which led Baba to finally tell her the whereabouts of Senki.

"Congratulations on your return, senior. However, you've gone too far. It's been almost a week since you came out, and you haven't told me how you've been doing."

While smiling, Yise spoke with a hint of complaint, blaming Li Xuan.

"I'm sorry, I've given up on all my usual means of communication. After all, these are extraordinary times, and I'm sorry to have made you worry. It's been a long time, Isshiki. I was planning to contact you again after things calmed down a bit."

Li Xuan trusted Yi Se and was genuinely happy to see her, he said.

However, Isse noticed that Li Xuan was quite different.

As a high-ranking member of the underworld, he always wore a white shirt, dress pants, and leather shoes, exuding an indescribable aloofness. But now, he wears rougher clothes and works like a supermarket clerk handling seafood. This once invincible samurai, capable of taking on a hundred men single-handedly, has now retired to the mountains—a dramatic change.

The wind and snow were still blowing, and Iroha felt cold all over.

She really wanted to persevere and fulfill her role as a junior colleague.

Li Xuan asked, "Isshiki, would you like some ramen?"

"Huh, ramen... Senior, you really like ramen."

Isshiki Iroha looked disgusted and said with a disdain.

However, she decided to go eat ramen with Li Xuan one more time.

Li Xuan noticed that Isshiki didn't seem to like those overly commercial foods, so he changed his mind and asked, "What about a takoyaki shop? Ramen with takoyaki should be pretty good."

The senior has already worked very hard.

If ramen doesn't work, just pair ramen with takoyaki. It doesn't really change anything, does it?

Isshiki looked hesitant, but eventually smiled and agreed, "Yes, sir!"

As a result, Li Xuan went to the takoyaki shop owned by Ryuji Gouda and Kyoko's master.

"No outside food is allowed here."

Ryuji Goda placed the takoyaki on the table and reminded him.

Li Xuan opened the packaged ramen and replied, "Let's be lenient and just pretend you didn't see it."

Ryuji Goda was silent for a moment before asking, "Can ramen and takoyaki be eaten together?"

After glancing at Iroha Isshiki, he went back to continue managing the shop.

Isshiki Iroha took off her coat and asked doubtfully, "Was that person really the takoyaki master?"

Li Xuan said, "Of course, this shop's takoyaki is delicious. If I find another good shop, I'll recommend it to you."

Iroha Isshiki was silent for a moment, then nodded without giving much of a response.

Now that Li Xuan is free, he finally has the chance to look after Isshiki, only to find that Isshiki seems to have become very stiff in his reactions.

However, it was indeed very delicious food. After finishing her meal, Isshiki Hatake followed Li Xuan to the supermarket.

The wind was excessively strong along the riverbank, howling like an approaching blizzard.

"I still have work to do, Isshiki, you should go back first, the snow is getting heavier."

Li Xuan walked ahead and spoke to Issei Yu.

A feeling of loneliness lingered in Yise Yu's heart.

"I....."

"I......"

In the wind and snow, Iroha seemed to tremble, as if it wanted to say something.

"I...I have something to tell you."

Isshiki Iroha had lost her usual liveliness and feminine charm. She looked bewildered as she stood in the wind and snow, seemingly having thought for a long time before deciding to come over. She spoke softly.

Li Xuan stood in the swirling snowflakes, remained silent for a moment, and then asked, "What is it?"

"Oh... I know about you and Yukinoshita-senpai. It's quite unexpected that you would become someone else's possession like this. I'm glad that you've finally been released. I absolutely do not believe that you would commit the crime of kidnapping your own sister. If you were to kidnap someone else, it would be an easier thing for you."

Isshiki spoke in a strange tone, as if she was being cautious, in a bad mood, and very depressed, but her words were somewhat unclear.

Li Xuan felt that the state of the One-Colored Feather was very strange.

"Isshiki, what's wrong with you...?"

Li Xuan asked with some concern.

"Senior, I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Suddenly, Isshiki Iroha coldly interrupted Li Xuan's words of concern.

Li Xuan was speechless for a moment.

“Senior… I can understand pursuing your own happiness, but, but, but…” Iroha clenched her fists and said softly, “I still feel that I don’t want to say some words of blessing to you in the room. I can’t do it. I’ve been thinking… what have I been doing all this time?”

Iroha Isshiki said, "I don't just want to be your junior... I've known for a long time that you've always treated me as someone you can't really do, and I know that too... Even if I wanted you to be my senior, I've tried for a long time. I always felt that this should be enough, but I can't convince myself... you, senpai."

"Senior... I realize I didn't just want to be a junior after all..."

Iroha finally mustered her courage and, as if she had staked everything, spoke through tears in the wind and snow.

"Isshiki, no, don't continue."
