But Genji Sanada really didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer. During the time he spent in bed resting and not moving anything, he gained more than ten kilograms.

If I don't return to a normal life soon, I'll really turn into a greasy, obese middle-aged man.

Minamoto Sanada has been handsome for decades, and he recently married his new lover, so he still maintains a certain image.

After explaining their own situation, they asked how things were at home recently.

Knowing that everything was alright, I was relieved and congratulated my son on winning the kendo championship in person.

The two heads of the Yuan family returned to their jobs the day after their return.

Shihua could finally breathe a sigh of relief, put down the burden on her shoulders, and wholeheartedly prepare for the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships.

It was a Saturday evening in late September.

Around 10 o'clock.

Takanashi Junko and Genji Sanada, who left work early today, returned home.

It's Saturday, and there's no school tomorrow, so it's not too late. Rikka is currently curled up in her room playing the game console she won in a raffle.

Thank goodness I didn't sell the game console; Zelda is really fun!

Yuan Qianye lay on his side on the living room sofa, with a pillow under his head, looking lazy, just like a lion who was resting after eating and drinking his fill.

Shihua sat beside him, peeled open an orange, slowly ate a couple of pieces herself, and then stuffed another one into her sworn brother's mouth.

A comedy show is playing on TV right now; it's lighthearted and humorous, and they all seem to enjoy watching it.

"You're back." Toka turned around and greeted them when she heard the voice.

Yuan Qianye also stood up, looking somewhat surprised: "Dad, you got off work very early today."

"Um……"

Genji Sanada nodded heavily in response, staring straight at his son without saying a word, and walked over to sit down on the single sofa to the side.

But after sitting down, his gaze remained fixed on Gen Chiya.

Not only that, but even Takanashi Junko, who came along with them, was the same. She sat on the armrest of the single sofa, leaning against her husband, her gaze fixed on Minamoto Chiya, which also appeared subtle.

Not to mention Yuan Qianye, who directly faced this strange look in her eyes, even Toka noticed that her parents were acting strangely.

Yuan Qianye tilted his head and chuckled softly, "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Takanashi Junko first glanced at her husband, who nodded, before saying directly, "Chiya, when Mom was about to get off work today, that... Ms. Touma Yoko came to the store."

After she finished speaking, she paid attention to Yuan Qianye's expression.

Yuan Qianye, completely unaware of this, asked curiously, "Really? She went to help out with your business, Mom?"

She gave a vague reply: "Taking care of business...I guess so."

At this moment, Gen Sanada also spoke up: "Just now at my workplace, I also received your friend's father. He came to see me specifically and we talked for a long time."

"My friend's father?"

Sanada didn't keep them in suspense: "He said his name is Busujima Hirotaka, and he's the father of your friend Busujima Saeko."

Having said all that, coupled with the strange looks from his parents, he realized...

Gen Chiya sensed something, and Toka also thoughtfully shifted her gaze back and forth between the two of them.

She thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

But Sanada waved his hand: "No need, Toka, you can stay here."

During the time they were away from home due to the accident, their eldest daughter took good care of the household. In his heart, she was still sensible and trustworthy, and it didn't matter if she knew what happened next.

The couple exchanged a glance, clearly both preoccupied, and ultimately decided that Runzi's mother should speak first.

"Well, it's like this. Today, when I was about to leave work, Ms. Touma Yoko came to the shop. While I was giving her a facial treatment as usual, she congratulated me on winning the national championship, and also... she asked me if I had any ideas about expanding the business of this small shop, and whether we could move it to Shibuya or Ginza."

She said my professional skills and service attitude were very good. Normally, she also had spare money. If I was interested, she could pay for the storefront, equipment, and staff, and then let me take full responsibility for overall management.

If this really works out, she will stay behind the scenes, waiting for her share of the profits once a year. She will not interfere with the normal operation of the shop, and... she also specifically stated that there is no need to worry about losses due to poor business.

If we really lose money, she'll cover the losses and won't put any extra burden on me... She told me to go home and think it over carefully.

After saying all this, Runzi's mother focused on observing Minamoto Chiya's expression.

He had previously spoken to them about Touma Yoko on the phone.

At that time, she thought Qianye was really remarkable. He had casually mentioned it and saved the life of someone of such high status, and the other party expressed his gratitude and gave him an extra ten million.

However, hearing him talk about this calmly on the phone is a completely different feeling from actually experiencing it in person.

What professional techniques? Takanashi Junko knew she was just a self-taught beautician. Perhaps she had gained a small group of loyal customers in Tokyo through her persistent efforts, but she knew her own limitations.

At this time, Touma Yoko suddenly approached her and proposed to open a store together, with her bearing all the risks and receiving a share of the profits.

There's no such thing as a kind-hearted angel investor in the world. It's obvious that Touma Yoko's true intentions are not what they seem.

With the mind that allows her to become a world-class pianist at such a young age.

She probably still felt that the previous amount of money given was too little. She wanted to continue to repay the favor in a roundabout way, while considering the Yuan family's feelings, so that they could live a more comfortable life.

After hearing what Junko's mother said, Yuan Qianye instantly understood.

Shihua was also slightly surprised. She was present when the large check was cashed. She thought that getting such a large sum of money for no reason was already a dream come true, but she didn't expect that this was not the end of the story, and there was a follow-up!

Runzi's mother glanced at her husband and asked cautiously, "Qianye, what... do you think?"

Gen Chiya shook his head with a chuckle: "How can I tell? Ms. Touma is really rich. In Tokyo, whether it's Shibuya or Ginza, storefronts in those areas aren't cheap. I can tell, she really is rich."

Runzi's mother nodded: "When she used to come to the store, we would chat together."

I'm not sure about her overseas assets, but I've heard that the most basic course at the piano education institution she founded in China costs over 100,000 yuan for a full set of lessons.

If she teaches herself, she charges 100,000 yuan per lesson, and for one-on-one classes... it would be even higher.

Not to mention her invitations to hold solo piano recitals at high-end hotels or upscale venues, which could bring in at least 20 million yuan per performance.

The so-called celebrity effect...

Indeed, once a person gains fame and influence, their market value increases with market recognition, and making money becomes quite easy.

Gen Chiya seemed to be deep in thought.

At this moment, Shika gently nudged him with her thigh, and he realized that Runzi's mother was still watching him and waiting for his reply.

"Oh, it's alright, Mom. You can accept Ms. Touma's kindness if you want, or refuse if you feel awkward or can't accept it."

If you're too embarrassed, I can go and visit her in person to explain things to her.

He had Touma Yoko's contact information, and figuring out a time to visit her at her house wouldn't be difficult.

Runzi's mother's reply was exactly what Yuan Qianye had expected; she nodded slightly, appearing somewhat relieved.

“That’s what I think too. Although Ms. Touma was able to discover her illness earlier thanks to you, she has already expressed her gratitude. Even though it was her request, we shouldn’t be too greedy. I think our lives are already very good, and there’s no need to change anything.”

"Okay, I understand, Mom. You can leave the rest to me."

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"No need, it's too formal, that would be counterproductive..."

With that, the matter concerning Junko's mother and Touma Yoko is now settled.

During this time, Shihua went to the kitchen and poured three drinks. She gave two to her parents and handed the last one to her adopted brother with both hands.

Next, it's about what happens on Minamoto no Sanada's side.

"Mr. Poison Island is a very generous man. After he came to my shop and confirmed that I was your father, he laughed and said that he had raised a good son. His physical fitness was the best among his peers, and his swordsmanship talent was one in a hundred years."

They even said that if you were born in the Sengoku or Edo period, you would definitely be able to rival sword masters like Tachibana Muneshige and Okita Souji, and you would surely be remembered in history and recorded in textbooks…

Despite the barrage of praise, Genji Sanada, the father, delivered it without batting an eye, even appearing quite pleased with himself.

But Yuan Qianye, who was listening, felt a little uneasy, mainly because he was embarrassed.

The reason he was able to progress so quickly in kendo is ultimately because Saeko Busujima herself was exceptionally talented.

Fortunately, Gen Sanada spoke very quickly and soon got to the point.

"...In conclusion, he thinks you are a good candidate for swordsmanship, so he asked me if I could take you as my apprentice and at the same time... recognize you as my godson."

At this point, Genji Sanada's expression turned strange.

Yuan Qianye couldn't hold back any longer and spat out the drink in his mouth with a "pfft".

Shihua quickly pulled out a few tissues, handed one to him to wipe his mouth, and then quickly wiped the water stains off his thighs.

No wonder he reacted so dramatically. He realized that Dokushima Daitaka must have gone to see his father for something, and he even started thinking about his relationship with Saeko.

But I never expected him to take such an unconventional approach and try to adopt me as his godson!

He skipped over what he had previously envisioned and went straight to the ending.

Wait a minute... something's not right. Thinking about it carefully... could this not be a coincidence, but exactly what he planned?

Looking at his son's embarrassing situation, Genji Sanada slowly took a sip of his drink: "Yeah, I had a similar reaction to you. I didn't drink anything, but the drink I was mixing spilled all over the bar."

After wiping his mouth, Yuan Qianye quickly asked, "Dad, you didn't agree to him, did you?"

Minamoto Sanada's expression suddenly became agitated: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do I have many sons? You're my only one! If I make you someone else's godson, who will take care of me in my old age!"

Shihua raised an eyebrow and silently looked over.

Gen Sanada immediately realized his slip of the tongue and became obedient, forcing a sheepish smile.

Runzi's mother couldn't help but turn around and shrug her shoulders slightly.

Yuan Qianye felt relieved, pinched Shihua's little finger to indicate that she shouldn't worry about it, and then asked about what happened next.

"After I politely declined, Mr. Busujima didn't continue to try to persuade me; instead, he started talking to me about other topics."
