In the anime, Ai Li's father really doesn't want to be a yellow-haired man

"I...I understand." Kouzo sighed, knowing that continuing to refuse would only make Mai even more unhappy. "Next time I have the chance, I'll meet with Kazuka again."

Mai finally nodded in satisfaction and leaned back into his arms, her tone much more relaxed: "That's more like it. Don't let me down."

Xiaosan smiled helplessly, but his heart was a little complicated.

And then there's...

Fight, fight ...

Late at night, Xiao San lay in bed, breathing steadily, apparently having fallen into a deep sleep. His brows were slightly furrowed, as if even in his dreams, he had not been able to completely escape the troubles of the day.

Mai lay beside him, already asleep, though she was always a light sleeper. Suddenly, the faint light of a cell phone screen flickered in the darkness, shattering the stillness of the room. Mai's eyelids fluttered slightly, then slowly opened.

She tilted her head and glanced at Takashi. He was still sound asleep, completely unaware of the phone's movement. Mai's gaze fell on his face, a complex mix of emotions welling up in her heart. She gently reached out and picked up his phone, the light from the screen illuminating her face.

The phone was not locked. Mai hesitated for a moment, but finally entered the password... She had already memorized Xiaosan's habits.

After the screen was unlocked, an unread message popped up.

The sender is Hayasaka Ai, which is a girl's name.

Mai's fingers paused, a sudden sense of unease rising within her. She clicked on the message, her eyes quickly scanning the text on the screen: "What's with that TV interview? Have you forgotten we're still engaged?"

Those few words, like a cold knife, instantly pierced Mai's heart. Her fingers trembled slightly, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

She stared at the screen for a long time, motionless. Hayasaka Ai's name and the glaring phrase "engagement" kept replaying in her mind. Mai had never heard Kozo mention this before, nor had she ever imagined that he actually had another woman...a woman he was engaged to.

Mai's breathing became a little rapid, and her chest felt like something was pressing down on her, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She turned her head and looked at Xiao San, who was still sleeping. Disappointment, anger... and a strong sense of betrayal surged in her heart.

Just like that, Mai sat quietly by the bed, holding Takashi's cell phone in her hand. The light from the screen shone on her face, making her look exceptionally calm, even with a hint of determination.

She looked down at Hayasaka Ai's message, her finger sliding lightly across the screen. She used Kozo's identity to arrange a time and place for the meeting.

After that, Mai deleted the previous chat history without any hesitation to ensure that Takashi San would not find any traces.

Gently placing the phone back on Takashi's pillow, Mai's gaze fell on his face... He was still sleeping soundly, breathing steadily, his brows slightly relaxed, as if he was completely unaware of what had just happened.

Mai looked at him quietly for a while, then lay back on the bed, leaning against Jin Xiaosan, wrapping her arms around his chest and hugging him tightly. Mai buried her face in his neck, feeling the warmth of his skin and the faint scent of shower gel.

"Takashi..." Mai murmured in a low voice, her voice almost inaudible.

Mai's face was pressed against his neck, and her breathing gradually became steady, but she still did not fall asleep. She just held Takashi San quietly, feeling his body temperature and heartbeat.

She knew that tomorrow would be an unavoidable confrontation, but at this moment, she just wanted to immerse herself in this brief tranquility, let the night envelop her, and temporarily forget all her worries and pain.

The next day, the afternoon sun streamed through the glass dome of the shopping mall, casting a soft light on the bustling crowd. Mai Sakurajima stood at the door of an upscale cafe, gazing calmly ahead.

Mai's outfit was simple yet elegant, with her long black hair draped over her shoulders and light makeup on her face, making her look particularly calm.

Not far away, Hayasaka Ai came over in casual clothes. Her eyes met Mai's, and she instantly understood the situation.

Hayasaka Ai's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, "I didn't expect it to be you."

"Hmm." Mai smiled slightly, her gaze unyielding. "Since you're here, why not come in and chat, Miss Hayasaka?"

Hayasaka Ai nodded, and the two of them walked into the private room of the cafe one after the other.

The environment in the box is elegant, with soft lights shining on the dark wooden tables and chairs, and the air is filled with a faint aroma of coffee.

The two sat opposite each other. Hayasaka Ai gently stirred the coffee cup in front of her, looking directly at Mai. Her tone was calm but with a hint of pressure: "Tell me, what do you want in exchange for leaving that guy?"

Mai chuckled when she heard this, "I should be the one asking you this."

Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly, her tone becoming colder: "What do you mean?"

Mai picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said calmly but firmly: "I already know about your engagement with Xiao San. But I will not let go. Xiao San loves me now, not you. If you are willing to cancel the engagement, I can give you a sum of money, enough for you to live a comfortable life."

After hearing this, Hayasaka Ai sneered, with a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Money? The engagement between that guy and me is not something an outsider like you can interfere with."

Mai put down her teacup and looked directly at Hayasaka Ai, her tone still calm: "Outsider? Maybe in your eyes I am an outsider, but in Kosan's heart, I am the most important person to him. The engagement between you and him is nothing more than a bond of family interests. Do you really think that Kosan will give up me for such an engagement?"

Hayasaka Ai was silent for a moment, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She gently put down her coffee cup, her tone a little tired, "Do you really think that guy would give up everything for you?"

"I believe him." Mai's tone was firm, and her eyes did not give in.

The atmosphere in the box was deadlocked for a moment. Neither of them spoke anymore. Only the aroma of coffee slowly permeated the air.

Suddenly, Hayasaka Ai slowly stood up, her lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile. Her eyes held a hint of contempt, and her tone was cold and mocking: "Ms. Mai, do you think that with your little cleverness, you can shake the engagement between me and that guy? Are you too naive?"

Mai's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of doubt and uneasiness flashing in her eyes. She looked up at Hayasaka Ai, her tone still calm, but her momentum noticeably weakened. "The Shinomiya family? What's your relationship with them?"

Hayasaka Ai chuckled, her eyes filled with undisguised sarcasm. "You dare to threaten me without even investigating my identity? It seems you're nothing but a self-righteous woman." She paused, her tone sharper. "Do you think you, a showbiz insider, can shake up this kind of relationship?"

Mai's expression changed slightly, and her fingers unconsciously tightened around the teacup. A flicker of hesitation flashed across her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it. "Even so, Kosan won't give up his feelings for the sake of his family's interests."

"Feelings?" Hayasaka Ai sneered, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm. "Do you think that guy really has feelings for you? Don't be naive. People like you in the entertainment industry are just playthings for the chaebol. That guy only sees you as a temporary entertainment. Do you really think he would give up his future for you?"

Mai's fingers trembled slightly, and tiny ripples appeared on the surface of the teacup. A flash of pain flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it. She raised her head and looked directly at Hayasaka Ai, her tone still firm. "Takashi is not that kind of person. I believe him."

"Believe it?" Hayasaka Ai sneered, "You're really pathetic. You've been played around with, yet you're still deceiving yourself. Do you think Kozo will give up the support of the Shinomiya family for you? Give up his future career? Don't dream."

Mai's lips tightened slightly, but...she knew she couldn't show weakness here anymore.

Hayasaka Ai saw Mai was silent, and the smile on her lips grew wider. She adjusted the corner of her clothes, and her tone was full of the arrogance of a winner: "I advise you to face the reality as soon as possible and leave Xiao San. Otherwise, when the day comes that you are abandoned, don't blame me for not warning you."

After saying that, Hayasaka Ai turned and left the box, the sound of her shoes gradually fading away in the corridor. Mai was still sitting there, her eyes a little empty, and Hayasaka Ai's words kept echoing in her mind.

"A plaything... a pastime... a self-deception..."

A wave of bitterness welled up in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't be defeated like this. No matter what Hayasaka Ai said, she had to get an answer from Kozo herself.

The sun was still shining brightly outside the window, but Mai's heart was shrouded in a haze. She gently put down her teacup, looked out the window with a determined gaze, and whispered to herself, "Xiao San, what are you thinking?"

Chapter 130: 130 New Mission: Cuckold Uesugi Fuutarou and Capture the Nakano Quintuplets

In the deep night, Xiaosan sat in a chair in his room, eyes closed, his mind focused. A virtual interface emerged in his mind. Since crossing into this world 16 years ago (according to this world's time, if calculated according to Xiaosan's own experience, it would be much longer), this system has been his greatest support. However, some time ago, the system suddenly crashed, leaving him confused for a while.

After this long wait and repair, the system interface finally lit up again, and the familiar prompt sounded in his mind:

'System repair complete.'

'The mission reward has been issued.'

Kosan's brows furrowed slightly as he quickly opened the system's task interface. He discovered that the previous task, "Capture Mai Sakurajima and Cuckold Sakuta," had been marked as "Completed." The task reward column prominently listed "Magic Wand."

"Magic wand?" Xiao San murmured in a low voice.

Xiao San's mind moved, and a silver rod emitting a faint light appeared in his hand... It was a rod-like object with complex patterns engraved on its surface, and it felt a little cold in his hand.

He carefully examined the divine light stick in his hand, frowning slightly. "Is this the mission reward? I remember seeing the mission reward before..."

Although he had some doubts in his mind, Xiaosan did not dwell on it too much.

After all, the system had been down for so long, and now it was finally repaired, this in itself was something worth celebrating. He gently grasped the divine light stick in his hand, feeling the strange energy contained within it, and felt a faint sense of anticipation in his heart.

"Maybe, this way I can go back." He murmured to himself and put the magic wand back into the system's storage space.

Standing up, Xiao San walked to the window and opened it. The night breeze gently brushed his cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. He looked up at the night sky, which was dotted with stars. "Next, it's time to make a good plan."

Suddenly, the system's prompt sounded again: "New mission released: Play with the quintuplets."

Xiao San's brow furrowed slightly, his eyes fixed on the task interface. The task requirements were clearly displayed before him:

Mission requirements: Play with Nakano Ichika, Nakano Nino, Nakano Miku, Nakano Yotsuba, and Nakano Satsuki in your hands, and make Uesugi Fuutarou feel pain.

Mission reward: Physical constitution of the person of light (can use the magic wand to transform into Ultraman Tiga).

Xiao San glanced at the mission description, his lips twitching slightly, a flicker of helplessness in his eyes. He sighed softly, a hint of fatigue in his tone, "Another mission like this... This wickedly humorous system really never tires of this."

He sat down, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at the ceiling.

"Playing with the quintuplets and making Fuutarou suffer..." Kouzo muttered to himself, his brows slightly furrowed.

"The physique of a person of light... transforming into Tiga?" Kouzo's eyes fell on the quest reward, a flicker of interest in his eyes. Although he had some resistance to this kind of quest, he had to admit that the reward was indeed tempting. The ability to transform into a giant of light, with the power to return, was undoubtedly a huge temptation for him.

He clenched his fist lightly, quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Although the system's task was a bit excessive, he had to accept it in order to return to his family as soon as possible.

Moreover, he also knew that he had done many similar things, so one more...

"In that case, we have no choice but to take action." Xiao San muttered to himself, with a flicker of determination in his eyes.

He quickly inquired the system and began trying to extract detailed information about the quintuplets and Uesugi Fuutarou.

The light in the room shone on Xiao San's face, making him look exceptionally calm and resolute. His fingers drummed on the table, his mind rapidly forming a plan.

"Nakano Ichika, gentle in character but strong at heart, wants to become famous in the entertainment industry; Nakano Nino, strong on the outside but fragile at heart, values her family; Nakano Miku, innocent and trusting, likes the history of the Warring States Period; Nakano Yotsuba, lively and cheerful, but thoughtful and likes sports; Nakano Satsuki, serious and persistent, attaches great importance to feelings, and has a big appetite..." Takashi San murmured the personality traits of the quintuplets, with a gleam in his eyes.

"And Uesugi Fuutarou..." Takashi San's mouth corners rose slightly.

The afternoon sun shines on the street, and the warm light shines through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Nakano Ichika was walking alone on the way home, carrying a small handbag in her hand. There was a hint of fatigue on her face, but there was still a determination in her eyes.

Today, Ichika once again played a minor supporting role that would soon be out of the show. Although her role was small, she gave it her all, pouring all her passion into every look and every movement.

She believed that as long as she worked hard enough, one day she would be able to impress the producers and investors, become the heroine, and stand on a bigger stage.

Ichika walked past an electronics store. A TV in the window was playing an interview with Sakurajima Mai. Mai had a sweet smile and a confident tone as she discussed her latest film and future plans. Ichika stopped, her gaze drawn to her.

"Mai Sakurajima...she's so dazzling," Ichika murmured softly, a flicker of envy in her eyes. She also wanted to be like Mai, to be the center of attention, to stand under the spotlight and tell her own story.

Just as she was lost in thought, a gentle male voice suddenly came from beside her: "Do you want to be her too?"

Ichika snapped back to reality and turned to look at the source of the voice. A handsome young man stood beside her, a faint smile on his face and a questioning look in his eyes. His calm demeanor gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

"You are..." Yihua looked at him with some confusion. She felt that this person looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

"Yukinoshita Kozo." The young man smiled slightly and said gently, "I just saw you stop here. You seem to be very interested in Sakurajima Mai."

Ichika's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head a little embarrassedly: "Well... I just think that she is amazing, being able to stand on such a big stage and play so many wonderful roles."

Takashi San nodded, his eyes full of approval: "You are an actor too, right? I've seen your performance. Although the role is not big, your performance is outstanding."

Ichika looked up in surprise, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes: "You...you've seen my performance?"

"Of course." Xiao San smiled, a hint of encouragement in his tone, "Your acting is very contagious, especially your persistence and passion for your dreams, which is very touching."

A warm feeling welled up in Ichika's heart, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "Thank you! I will keep working hard!"

Xiao San nodded slightly, his eyes full of meaning: "However, hard work alone may not be enough. In this circle, opportunities and resources are equally important. If you are willing, I can help you."

Yihua was stunned for a moment, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Help me?"

"Yes." Xiao San's tone was still gentle, but his eyes were filled with a firmness that would not be refused. "I can introduce you. As long as you are willing, I can help you get more opportunities."

Ichika's heart was filled with excitement, but she quickly calmed down. She looked at Kouzo hesitantly: "But... why are you willing to help me?"

Xiao San smiled slightly, his eyes showing a hint of depth: "Because I believe that you have the potential to become a heroine. And I like to see people with dreams achieve their goals."

Ichika's heart was touched, and a glint of determination flashed in his eyes: "Thank you! I will make good use of this opportunity!"

Kouzo nodded, took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Ichika: "Here is my contact information. If you are interested, you can contact me at any time."

Ichika took the business card and carefully put it in her bag with a grateful smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Kozo!"

Xiao San smiled slightly and turned to leave. His back looked particularly tall and straight in the sunlight. Yihua stood there, looking at his back, her heart filled with hope and expectation.

"Perhaps, this is the opportunity I've been waiting for..." Ichika murmured softly.

However, Ichika didn't know that behind this seemingly accidental encounter was a carefully planned scheme by Kozo.

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shines into the living room of the Nakano family...

Ichika gently opened the door and tiptoed in, trying not to attract anyone's attention. However, as soon as she stepped into the living room, she heard a familiar voice coming from the direction of the sofa.

"Ichika, where did you go again today?" Nino folded her arms over her chest, leaning on the edge of the sofa, staring at her sharply, her face full of suspicion.

Ichika's heart tightened, but she forced herself to remain calm and put on a relaxed smile: "Ah, Nino, you're home. I...I just went out for a walk and bought some things."
