I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

Suddenly, Isshiki Hachiman picked up on the topic that Li Xuan was concerned about.

Li Xuan looked at Yi Se with surprise upon hearing her words.

"If Yukinoshita-senpai finds out, she will definitely be hurt and will never be able to forgive you for the rest of her life, because no woman can accept that."

Iroha Isshiki explained the consequences of confessing the matter in detail.

"Is it that serious?"

Li Xuan asked in astonishment.

"That's just how girls are, there's no use complaining."

Isshiki Iroha looked at him with a cold gaze and said.

"Yukinoshita-senpai probably doesn't dislike you, but she probably doesn't like you either. It's probably a very subtle stance. You should understand this kind of positioning, right? Using words like 'care about' and 'have high hopes' shouldn't be considered off-topic."

Isshiki Iroha explained.

"But once she finds out she's wrong, you're finished."

Isshiki Iroha set a bad ending for Li Xuan, causing Li Xuan, who had become a player in the game, to break out in a cold sweat.

"......Um."

Li Xuan remained silent, then quietly responded with a single sentence.

"So, Isshiki, do you have any suggestions?"

Li Xuan continued to ask.

He always felt that it was more important to resolve the issue and not dwell on it.

Isshiki Iroha answered directly, "No."

Li Xuan's face was pale, and he asked incredulously, "No?! No, aren't you supposed to be very smart? You could give me some advice."

Shiro Iroha looked helpless, picked up her schoolbag, and replied, "Well, this is a bit too complicated. I can't think of anything right now, and I don't know much about Yukinoshita-senpai either."

"..."

Li Xuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Aren't you familiar with each other?"

He had seen Isshiki so annoyed during the student council meeting and assumed that Isshiki and Yukinoshita were close friends.

"We're not very close, but I've had a few interactions with the Service Club, led by Yukinoshita-senpai. Yukinoshita-senpai always gives me a mysterious and unfathomable feeling. Many people also say that if she were the student council president, she would definitely be much more outstanding than me. I admit it..."

Li Xuan could sense that Isshiki's situation seemed rather bad after joining the student council, even though her expression seemed to be just stating a general point, glossing over some details.

Iroha Isshiki seemed completely unaffected, beaming with joy as she offered Li Xuan a compromise: "Senior Xuan, please rest assured. I understand what happened between you and Senior Yukinoshita. Yes, it is indeed a very troublesome matter. Although I don't have a solution, I will assist you from the sidelines. For the time being, I don't recommend exposing yourself. Deceiving the girl out of kindness is also a last resort."

"But the situation remains unresolved..."

Li Xuan and Yi Se discussed it for a while, but they couldn't come up with any ideas. He wanted to say something more.

"Cough cough."

Iroha turned around and looked at Li Xuan with a displeased gaze!

Although Isshiki was very concerned about the matter between Li Xuan and Yukinoshita, she was also happy to help Li Xuan resolve this conflict.

However, without a definite conclusion, Isshiki had already listened to Li Xuan talk about Yukino Yukinoshita for half an hour, and she was clearly getting tired of listening.

Li Xuan always felt that the girl's mood was really unpredictable.

"This matter is indeed quite complicated. Let me think about it carefully. Oh, by the way, senior, there's a very popular department store not far away with a really delicious ice cream shop upstairs. How about stimulating my brain cells with some food?"

For some unknown reason, Isshiki Hatake's mind was suddenly stimulated, and she immediately thought of some fun places on this street, and said.

"......"

Li Xuan neglected his work and even forgot why he had come out with Isshiki Iroha in the first place.

In the old town, there is a department store with more than ten floors. The lower floors are supermarkets, and the upper floors are restaurants and cinemas.

Take the escalator and go up.

Yi Se seemed to be in a good mood, chatting all the way, and enthusiastically recommending some movies that were about to be shown at the cinema to Li Xuan.

However, just as Li Xuan and Yi Se were standing on the escalator going up, they suddenly encountered several very familiar figures on the opposite side.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Yukino Yukinoshita, and Hayato Hayama were all together.

The two met by chance in a department store near Soubu High School...

Chapter 075 "The Enemy" Comes from Among Us (4.2k)

"!" Li Xuan stared wide-eyed at the three people in front of him, and he was completely dumbfounded.

The elevator looks like it's heading straight to hell!

Meeting Haruno as a partner halfway through is already a mixed blessing, and adding Yukino, her "little sister," makes it even more of a nightmare. And if you add Hayato Hayama, whose words are so cryptic, it's practically the last combination you want to encounter.

"what!"

As a result, Isshiki Hachiman, who was standing next to her, also let out a slightly startled sound.

Li Xuan immediately grabbed Yi Se's wrist with one hand.

"Huh?" With her attention completely drawn to Li Xuan after being grabbed like that, Isshiki Yu looked at him with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment.

"Relax, don't stand out too much."

Li Xuan's eyes, behind his sunglasses, were sharp and cautious as he gave his juniors a series of instructions.

"senior......"

Iroha's snow-white cheeks flushed slightly as she listened to Li Xuan's words in astonishment.

As the elevator ascended, Li Xuan observed that Yukino, Yono, and the others were still chatting amongst themselves, seemingly unaware of their presence.

"Isshiki, stay calm, keep your eyes forward, and pretend you haven't noticed anything."

Li Xuan lowered his head slightly and gave a few words of advice to Isshiki beside him.

"But it's so close."

Isshiki Iroha said uneasily in a low voice.

"Don't worry, it's rush hour now, the elevator is packed with people, and we're surrounded by them. They're not paying attention to us, so as long as we don't make a sound, we can usually get away from them."

Li Xuan whispered his analysis to Yi Se.

Isshiki Iroha looked at Li Xuan in astonishment, truly unsure whether this technique would even work: "Will it work?"

Li Xuan was quite confident and said, "I've used this trick to evade rival gangs many times before, so it'll be fine."

Iroha Isshiki felt that Li Xuan's serious and concealed demeanor at this moment had a detective-like style. She was impressed but didn't understand it, and nodded seriously: "Yes, senior."

As the vast crowd moved up and down, Li Xuan, with his head slightly lowered, slowly approached Yukinoshita and the others.

In that instant of transition, Yukino, who was standing very close to Yukino on the other side, turned her head and smiled sweetly at her, completely unaware of his presence.

In the vast sea of ​​people on the escalator, the two partners brushed past each other silently, without anyone noticing.

Their hands, which were placed on either side, touched slightly.

Li Xuan and Yi Se arrived safely at the upper level.

"call."

Once Iroha reached the safe zone, she couldn't help but exhale a sigh of relief.

"You scared me to death, senpai." Iroha Isshiki exclaimed in surprise, "I can't believe you actually dodged it, you were so close."

Li Xuan stood to one side of the passage and said, "Generally, the closer something is to you, the harder it is for you to notice it. Luckily, it's a lively time now, otherwise we would have really run into them."

"I don't know why, but I felt really excited just now."

Ichiro Yu seemed somewhat satisfied and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan felt that this junior's personality was a bit off, and his triggers were very strange.

"My only worry is Miss Yang Nai. That young lady has an exceptionally sharp eye for observation. I really hope we can keep it from her this time."

Li Xuan pondered this in secret, considering it with lingering fear.

He wondered why Isshiki seemed just as nervous as him. He was curious about Isshiki's reasons for not wanting to interact with them.

Soon, Li Xuan was led by his junior, Yi Se, to a fast food restaurant on the sixth floor. This fast food restaurant also had a window that made ice cream.

"Senior, it's on me."

Iroha took out her money and asked the clerk at the window for two ice creams.

Li Xuan took a bite and found it was indeed quite good.

"How about it?"

"It's quite delicious."

"Right, right! It seems like you have similar tastes to me."

Iroha Isshiki smiled broadly, as if she had scored a point.

Li Xuan is also a sweet tooth; people under a lot of stress generally like carbonated drinks and sweets.

Iroha inadvertently noticed that her overly serious senior had a large smear of cream on his cheek.

"Wait a moment."

Isshiki called out to Li Xuan. Just as Li Xuan was wondering why Isshiki had called him, Isshiki Iroha had already taken out a tissue and carefully wiped away the cream for him.

This overly intimate gesture made Li Xuan subconsciously tense up, staring wide-eyed at Isshiki leaning forward.

Iroha Isshiki was the first female high school student he met at Soubu High School.

With her light, flowing brown hair and school uniform, the girl herself exudes a light and airy feel. She is not as unfathomable as Haruno, nor as aloof and outstanding as Yukino, nor as cute and innocent as Komachi Hikigaya. But what is precious is that she possesses a great deal of each of these qualities.

Issei Iroha approached him to wipe his face; her face was delicate and lovely. But Li Xuan couldn't help but wonder... what did this girl hope to gain from him?

However, Isshiki Hachiman's pupils shifted unnaturally toward the area behind his shoulder, and her face showed an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Li Xuan felt utterly cold inside.

"It seems this is the ice cream shop with the highest rating. Yukino-chan, would you like some... Yukino-chan?"
