As soon as Yuki entered the room, her gaze fell directly on Li Chan and his friends. They were all staring at her with wide eyes as if they had seen something bizarre.
For a moment, there was only a clash of gazes staring at each other, as if the air itself had frozen. Then, in the next instant, without any warning, Yuan Hao suddenly grabbed Li Chan by the throat. Squeezing tightly, without saying a word, he glanced at Yuki and, with the others, quietly slipped toward the washroom leaving Yuki behind.
As they left, Yuki, gripped by unease, thought to herself, "What just happened here…?"
On the other side, Li Chan's friends had already dragged him into the washroom. As soon as they entered, they released his collar, and all of them shouted in unison,
"Dude! What's going on!?"
Lin Fan, slightly angry, said,
"This morning, some guy came looking for you… and he was calling you Young Master! And now you've brought another top-tier beauty with you!?"
Hearing this, Li Chan hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Actually… a while ago, I met this girl. Two guys were trying to throw her off a bridge. So I saved her. If I left her alone… they might try something again."
Hearing this, his friends started to panic a little. Lin Fan, alarmed, said,
"Dude… nothing bad's gonna happen, right?!"
Li Chan looked at him and, calming them down, said,
"No… nothing bad will happen."
Hearing this, Yuan Hao let out a deep sigh and said,
"Alright, fine… but where are you going to keep this girl?"
Li Chan fell silent for a moment. A look of confusion crossed his face. Then he started thinking to himself, "Should I keep her with me…?"
His mind suddenly wandered to a strange thought. He imagined himself and Yuki on the same bed. It was nighttime, the room dimly lit.
Suddenly, Yuki hugged him. Li Chan's face flushed. Then Yuki came closer and whispered in his ear,
"Li… are you blushing?"
Li Chan's face turned even redder. Meanwhile, Yuki ran her hand over his chest and said,
"Babe… please, don't be hesitant…"
Suddenly, Li Chan snapped back to reality. Panicking, he said to himself,
"No! No! I can't keep her with me!"
After thinking for a moment, he calmed down and said to himself,
"Wait a second… there's Dayna! I'll have Yuki stay with Dayna!"
Then he turned to his friends and said,
"I'm going to have her stay with Dayna."
With a confident smile, he added as he left the washroom,
"Guys, I'll be back in a bit."
Hearing this, his friends made slightly odd faces. Yuan Hao said again,
"Li Chan… things don't feel the same anymore. You used to do anything for your ex…"
Meanwhile, as soon as Li Chan stepped out of the washroom, he immediately pulled his phone from his pocket. He started searching for Dayna's number the one he had gotten that morning.
As soon as he found it, he called her without wasting time.
The scene shifted Dayna was soaking in a luxurious bathtub. Water droplets glistened on her bare shoulders, and her breasts were partially floating above the water. Soap suds highlighted her glowing skin even more.
Suddenly, her phone, placed on a nearby table, started ringing.
Surprised, she picked it up and said,
"Hello… who's this?"
Then her eyes lit up,
"What… Li Chan? It's you?"
On the other end, Li Chan said,
"Hey Dayna… I need a small favor. A friend of mine is in Kyoto for a few days. Can she stay with you?"
Hearing this, Dayna immediately replied,
"Yes, absolutely! Of course!"
Relief washed over Li Chan's face. He said,
"That's great. Look… come to the boys' hostel soon. I'll be waiting outside."
Excited, Dayna said,
"Yes, Li! I'm coming right now!"
After hanging up, Li Chan thought to himself, "Alright, now I'll go to Yuki…"
Meanwhile, Dayna was overjoyed. She thought to herself,
"I thought I'd never get close to Li Chan… but now it feels like I've got a chance."
The scene shifted back Li Chan reached Yuki, who was sitting on the bed. Seeing him, Yuki got a bit nervous and quickly said,
"Look… please drop me off at some hotel…"
With a calm smile, Li Chan replied,
"Don't worry. I've spoken to a friend. You can stay at her place."
Hearing this, Yuki hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Chan with a calm and sweet smile.
Seeing her gaze, Li Chan's heartbeat quickened for a moment. His face flushed red. He quickly turned his face away from hers.
Then he thought to himself,
"No… I can't just melt for some girl like this."
Suddenly, a 'ding' sounded in his system, and a notification appeared:
Yuki's trust in you has suddenly increased by 3%.
Yuki's current trust level: 8%
Yuki's trust reward: 10 billion yen
You receive, based on 3%: 300 million yen.
Seeing this, Li Chan, shocked, said,
"What? How did this girl's trust increase? I didn't even do anything!"
Then Yuki, looking at him, said,
"Hey mister, what's your name?"
Her eyes were soft, but her face exuded confidence. She had the unique charm of a cute yet mature girl.
Seeing this, Li Chan went silent for a moment, then snapped back and replied,
"My name's Li Chan… and yours?"
Smiling slightly, Yuki answered,
"Li Chan… nice name. I'm Yuki Fujimoto. Come on, we should get going. Your friend must be here."
Laughing, Li Chan ran a hand over his head and said,
"Yeah, absolutely."
Then he thought to himself,
"Now I have enough money to buy a car and a property. Hao… I won't let you off so easily."
They both stepped outside the hostel. Yuki looked around and said,
"Li Chan, where's your friend?"
Li Chan replied,
"She'll be here any moment."
Just then, someone called out from behind,
"Li Chan! Look, I'm here!"
Hearing this, Li Chan turned around. Dayna was running toward him, a slight excitement on her face.
Stopping in front of him, Dayna said,
"Hey Li! Sorry, I got a bit late."
Laughing, Li Chan said,
"No problem."
Then, calling Yuki from behind, he said,
"Hey Yuki, meet her. This is my friend Dayna."
Hearing this, Yuki and Dayna looked at each other. Seeing Yuki, Dayna thought to herself in astonishment,
"This girl… how can she be so beautiful?"
Then Yuki stepped forward and said in a polite tone,
"Nice to meet you, Dayna. Li told me about you. I'll be staying with you for a while."
Dayna was still a bit stunned, but hearing Yuki, she snapped back and said,
"Oh… alright. Nice to meet you too."
Then Li Chan called out from behind,
"Hey guys, I'm heading out. Got some work to do."
Hearing this, Dayna looked at Li with a calm smile and said,
"Yeah, Li, you go. I'll take good care of your friend."
As Li Chan left, he thought to himself,
"I need to buy a car tomorrow."
Then, pulling his phone from his pocket, he said,
"I should call Kuro."
He dialed Kuro's number and thought to himself,
"Just wait… after this, Hao… I'll destroy you."
