But Gen Sanada really didn't want to stay in the hospital any longer. During the time he stayed in bed and did nothing but focus on taking care of his body, he gained more than ten pounds.

If I don’t return to normal life, I will really become a greasy and obese middle-aged man.

Minamoto no Sanada has been handsome for decades and recently married his new lover, so he still has a certain image.

After talking about their own situation, they asked about how things were going at home recently.

Knowing that everything was fine, he felt relieved and congratulated his son in person on winning the kendo championship.

The two parents of the Yuan family returned to their jobs the day after they returned.

Tohka could finally breathe a sigh of relief, put down the burden on her shoulders, and concentrate on preparing for the National Rhythmic Gymnastics Competition.

It was a Saturday night in late September.

It's about ten o'clock.

Takanashi Junko and Minamoto no Sanada, who left work early today, returned home.

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

Luckily I didn’t sell the game console, Zelda is really fun!

Yuan Qianye lay on his side on the sofa in the living room with a pillow under his head. He looked lazy, like a lion who was resting after a good meal.

Shihua sat next to him, broke open an orange, slowly ate two pieces herself, and then stuffed one into her brother's mouth.

There is a manzai show on TV right now, it is light-hearted and humorous, and they all like watching it.

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

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

"Um……"

Gen Sanada nodded in response, staring at his son without saying a word, then walked over and sat down on the single sofa on the side.

But after sitting down, his gaze focus did not change, and was still directed at Yuan Qianye.

Not only that, but the same thing happened to Runko Takanashi who came along with them. She sat on the armrest of the single sofa, leaning against her husband, staring at Yuan Qianye, which also looked subtle.

Not to mention Yuan Qianye who had to face the strange look, even Shihua found that her parents were acting strangely.

Yuan Qianye tilted his head and laughed uncontrollably: "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Kotori Yu Junko first glanced at her husband. After he nodded, she said directly, "Qianye, 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 had no idea about this and was curious: "Really? She went to take care of your business?"

She responded vaguely: "Taking care of business... sort of."

At this time, Minamoto Sanada also spoke: "Just now, I received your friend's father at my workplace. He came to see me specially and talked to me a lot."

"My friend's father?"

Gen Sanada didn't keep the secret: "He said his name is Busujima Daitaka, and he's the father of your friend Busujima Saeko."

Having said that, coupled with the look in his parents' eyes that seemed to indicate something was wrong.

Yuan Qianye noticed something, and Shihua looked back and forth between them thoughtfully.

She thought about it and stood up: "Then I'll go back to my room first."

But Minamoto Sanada waved his hand: "No, Touka, you stay here."

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

The couple looked at each other, and it was obvious that both of them had something to do. In the end, it was decided that Runzi's mother should speak first.

"It's like this. Today, when I was about to get off work, Ms. Touma Yoko came to the shop. When I gave her a facial as usual, she congratulated me on winning the national championship. She also asked if I wanted to expand this small shop and move to Shibuya or Ginza.

She said that my professional skills and service attitude were very good, and she had some spare money. If I was interested, she could pay for the storefront, equipment, and staff, and then let me be fully responsible for overall management.

If this thing can really succeed, she will stay behind the scenes, waiting for dividends once a year, and will not interfere with the normal operation of the store on a daily basis, and... and she also specifically stated that there is no need to worry about losses due to poor business.

If I really lost money, she would fill the hole and would not put any extra burden on me... She asked me to go home and think it over carefully."

After saying this, Runzi's mother focused on observing Yuan Qianye's expression.

He had previously told them about Touma Yoko over the phone.

At that time, she still thought that Qianye was a truly remarkable kid. Just by mentioning it casually, he had saved the life of a person of such a noble status to a certain extent, and received gratitude from the other party, who also gave him an additional 10 million.

However, hearing him talk about this kind of thing calmly on the phone and actually encountering it in person were two completely different feelings.

What kind of professional techniques are these? Junko Takanashi knows that she is just a beautician who changed her profession halfway. Maybe she has gained a small number of loyal customers in Tokyo by relying on her persistence over time, but she still knows her own worth.

At this time, Touma Yoko suddenly found her and proposed the idea of opening a store together. She would bear all the risks and would have a share of the profits.

There is no such kind-hearted angel investor in the world. It is obvious that Touma Yoko has ulterior motives.

With her mind capable of becoming a world-class pianist at such a young age.

She must still feel that the additional amount given before was too little. She wanted to continue to repay the favor in various ways while taking the Yuan family's face into consideration, so as to make their life easier.

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

Shihua couldn't help but be a little 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, but she didn't expect that this matter was not over yet, there was a back-up plan!

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

Yuan Qianye laughed and shook his head. "What can I see? Ms. Touma is really rich. Here in Tokyo, whether it's Shibuya or Ginza, the commercial storefronts in these two places are not cheap. I can see that she is really rich."

Runzi’s mother nodded and said, “When she came to the store before, we would chat with each other.

I'm not too sure about her overseas assets, but I heard that the piano education institution she founded in China charges more than 100,000 yuan for the most basic courses.

If she teaches the class herself, she will charge 100,000 yuan for each class. If it is a one-on-one class... it will be even higher.

Not to mention that if she is invited to hold a solo piano recital in a luxury hotel or high-end venue, she will earn at least 20 million yuan per concert.

The so-called celebrity effect...

As expected, once people gain fame and influence, their value increases with market recognition, and making money becomes quite easy.

Yuan Qianye seemed to be lost in thought.

At this time, Touka gently touched him with her thigh, and he realized that Runzi's mother was still looking at him, waiting for his answer.

"Ah, it's okay, Mom. It's Ms. Touma's kindness, so if you're willing to accept it, then go ahead. If you feel embarrassed or can't accept it, it's okay to refuse.

If you feel embarrassed, I can go back and visit her and explain things to her."

He had Touma Yoko's contact information, so it shouldn't be difficult to arrange a time to visit her house.

Runzi's mother's reply was not what Yuan Qianye expected. She nodded slightly, seeming a little relieved.

"That's what I thought. Although Ms. Touma discovered her illness early thanks to you, she's already expressed her gratitude. Even though it was her initiative, we can't be too greedy. I think our current life is already good, and there's no need to change anything."

"Okay, I understand, Mom. Leave it to me from now on."

"Do you need me to go with you?"

"No, it's too formal, that's not good..."

In this way, the matter between Junko's mother and Touma Yoko has been settled.

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

Next comes the matter of Minamoto no Sanada.

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

He also said that if you were born in the Warring States Period or the Edo Period, you would be able to rival swordsmanship masters like Tachibana Muneshige and Okita Souji, and your name would definitely be recorded in history and in textbooks..."

Despite all these compliments, Minamoto no Sanada, as the boss, said them without blushing or getting nervous, and even seemed quite pleased with himself.

But Yuan Qianye felt a little uneasy when he heard it, mainly because he was embarrassed.

The reason why he was able to make such rapid progress in kendo was ultimately because Busujima Saeko herself was good enough.

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

"...In summary, he thinks you're a good candidate for swordsmanship, so he asked me if I could take you in as his apprentice and... adopt you as his godson."

At this point, Minamoto's expression turned strange.

Yuan Qianye couldn't hold it in at all and spat out the drink in his mouth with a "puff".

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

It's no wonder that he reacted so exaggeratedly. He thought that there must be something going on when Busujima Daitaka went to see his father, and he even thought about the things going on between him and Saeko.

But I never expected that he would take an unconventional approach and directly want to adopt me as his godson!

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

Wait a minute...something's not right. Come to think of it...isn't this just a coincidence, but is it exactly what he planned?

Gen Sanada looked at his son's embarrassing state and slowly took a sip of his drink. "Well, I had a similar reaction to you. I didn't drink anything at the time, but the drink I was mixing spilled all over the bar."

Yuan Qianye wiped his mouth and asked quickly, "Dad, you won't agree to him, right?"

Minamoto's expression suddenly became agitated. "What nonsense are you talking about? I have many sons, don't I? You're the only one! And if I let you become someone else's godson, who will take care of me in my old age?"

Shihua raised an eyebrow and looked over silently.

Minamoto Sanada immediately realized his slip of the tongue and immediately became well-behaved, smiling awkwardly.

Runzi's mother couldn't help it, turned around and shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Yuan Qianye felt relieved, pinched Shihua's little finger to signal her not to worry about it, and asked her what happened next.

"After I politely declined, Mr. Busujima didn't continue trying to persuade me. He started talking to me about other topics."

"What other topics?"

"Their family heritage and reputation, their land and assets in Japan, their strong relationships with police forces, and their foreign swordsmanship dojos—they say that if you could become a disciple of the family, dedicate yourself to training, and receive their Menkyo Kaiden, your future life would be auspicious, and financial problems would no longer be a problem."

The term "menkyō kaiden" means in swordsmanship that the student has mastered all the techniques of the style and has passed various tests to prove it.

This is the highest level of permission in swordsmanship, which means that one can teach the skills of this school to outsiders without getting permission, and can even create new moves based on the original school. He is also qualified to open a dojo and accept apprentices.

Yuan Qianye summarized, "So, Mr. Busujima hopes that by promising a bright future like this, you, Dad, will agree to his request?"

"That's probably the case, but I didn't say anything in the end... Haven't you been going to your friend Busujima Saeko's house to practice swordsmanship recently? Didn't Mr. Busujima tell you about this?"

"They never said they wanted to adopt me as their godson, but they did ask me to become a disciple of the Busujima family. I didn't respond directly, saying I was still a student and needed to focus on my studies. I was only learning kendo to cultivate my character and strengthen my body. I didn't have many other plans at the moment, and I didn't want to think about things too far in the future."

I still remember that when he answered like this, Busujima Saeko, who was kneeling beside them and serving tea to the two of them, had a slightly darker expression for a moment.

The old father, Gen Sanada, nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his son had not been raised in vain.

There are mainly these two things tonight, and that’s all we need to do if we just talk about them.

The couple watched Shihua follow Yuan Qianye back to the room, as if they had something to say in private.

Runzi's mother hugged her husband and said, "We've been away from home for such a long time, but there are some extra benefits. Apart from anything else, the relationship between Touka and Qianye has become better and better."

Gen Sanada nodded slowly: "Yes, it is indeed very good."

"Hmm? The tone of your voice...are you worried about something?"

"..."

"Is it because of what happened today?"

"kindness……"

The psychology of men and women is naturally different.

It’s not like what Runzi just said, “I think our life is good enough now, there’s no need to change anything.”
