I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

I have absolutely no idea what her explanation means.

Just then, a group of people walked over from the crowd.

"I'm sorry, yes... she came with me."

Yukino Yukinoshita, dressed in casual clothes, looked at Li Xuan and said.

Yesterday, when Yukino was using the computer in the activity room to look up details about what to pay attention to for beach activities, she was discovered by Yui Yuigahama. Unexpectedly, when Yui was talking about the beach, Isshiki directly asked her if she was going to go play with Nitta-senpai, which aroused Yukino's great vigilance.

Yukino's gaze turned colder as she asked, "So you know Isshiki?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he couldn't help but glance at Yise Yu.

He seemed to have forgotten his warning to Isshiki never to tell anyone about his affairs.

However, Iroha Isshiki didn't seem to need his help. She smiled and said, "Yukinoshita-senpai, didn't we talk about this before? I've met Gen-senpai a few times at the construction site, and I also saw you with him during the school festival. You're being very inquisitive. Don't scare Gen-senpai."

As expected of Isshiki, who is good at reading people, she seemed to quickly notice some details and used a perfect excuse to cover it up.

However, Yukino seemed a little skeptical. After glancing at Isshiki, she turned her gaze back to Li Xuan's face.

Despite the bustling crowds and constant noise on the platform, the air felt strangely quiet.

But it only lasted for a few seconds.

The train has arrived at the station.

The rumbling, slowing-down tram passed not far from Li Xuan, Yukino Yukinoshita, and the others, the airflow brushing against the people on the platform.

The station announcement reads: "[The train bound for Hojo has arrived at the station. Passengers traveling to Hojo, please take note...]"

"Phew, let's talk about that later. We should go in now."

As Yukino's hair fluttered in the wind, she spoke.

......

Inside the train, Yukino and her group were squeezed into the back carriage before they found a row of empty seats and sat down together.

"Today we're going to Hojo Beach. Judging from online reviews, the water quality and environment seem quite good. We'll be there from about 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. There are plenty of restaurants in the surrounding town, so lunch shouldn't be a problem. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions...? If not, please take good care of your belongings and remember to get off at Hojo Station."

Yukino briefly explained her travel plans on the train.

He is meticulous in his work, even planning his trips in great detail.

It's clear that this girl is very serious and meticulous in everything she does.

In a row of train seats, from left to right, Yukino, Yui Yuigahama, Isshiki, Li Xuan, and Kohina sat on chairs.

"Oh right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Yui Yuigahama. I'm a member of the Service Club along with Yuki and Hachiman. It's nice to meet you."

Yui Yuigahama smiled and said to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at the girl and seemed to recognize her. But when he heard the name "Yui Yuigahama", he immediately realized that this girl was also one of the student council candidates.

To help Yukino with her election campaign, he even went so far as to rally some students who hated Yui on the forum to lower her approval ratings...

Alright, now those destined to be together have finally gathered.

After introducing himself, Li Xuan also introduced Kohina, who was standing next to him. Yui Yuigahama seemed kind and amiable, and greeted Kohina warmly. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, his first impression was that she was indeed a very gentle girl.

"By the way, didn't Hikigaya-senpai come today?" Iroha Isshiki asked Yui Yuigahama curiously.

"Well, he seems to have something to do, so he didn't come today."

Yui Yuigahama replied.

Li Xuan had heard this boy's name before, though he had never met him. However, he knew quite a bit about this person, since the concept of "real thing" that Yang Nai mentioned seemed to have been created by him.

"There's nothing I can do. I just feel like I'm too lazy to stay at home. After all, I have a cute little sister at home."

Iroha Isshiki was also trying to get closer to Hina, but after hearing Yuihama's answer, she was a little disappointed and couldn't help but complain.

"Ahem, well, as we all know, right now, in our team, only Senior Xuan is left as a male bodyguard."

Iroha smiled and praised Li Xuan beside her.

"It should be fine. I heard the beach there is very safe," Yui Yuigahama said.

Iroha Isshiki smiled and chatted casually, saying, "Good security doesn't guarantee there won't be any hooligans. Beach hooligans are something that often appear in novels or comics, right? But it's okay, we should be absolutely safe."

After all, the warriors beside them were the demons of Ashikawa.

Just then, the tram left the city and entered the suburbs. After quickly passing the rooftops of a row of small towns, a gust of wind blew through the window and onto the hair of Isshiki Iroha and Yui Yuigahama.

The two girls turned around and looked at each other, both showing expressions of surprise.

"Yuihama-senpai."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Xuan, who was sitting next to them, had no idea what they were talking about. Then the two girls got up from their seats and suddenly rolled up the windows behind them. A cool sea breeze blew into the carriage with a "whoosh".

"It's the ocean!"

The two girls spoke happily to Yukino, Li Xuan, and the others.

Li Xuan's hair was being blown by the sea breeze. Surprised, he turned around and saw the distant blue sea and the long golden beach at the edge of the land and the sea.

“…”

Yukino turned her head to look at the sea, then glanced briefly at the young man looking at the sea.

The young man's profile looked quite youthful at that moment, lacking much of the sense of vicissitude.

Although it was only for a brief moment, she seemed to truly sense that this person had been wandering for a long time...

At 8:35, Li Xuan, Yukino, and the others took a short bus and successfully arrived at Hojo Beach.

It was still early in the morning, and the sea breeze was a little chilly, but many tourists had already arrived on the beach to swim and relax. Sun umbrellas, blankets, sunglasses, and beautiful women quietly enjoying the sunlight presented the most basic yet gorgeous scenery of the beach.

The beautiful environment put the girls who had just arrived in a good mood.

Li Xuan knew that this trip seemed to be organized by the Second Miss to help him relieve some stress. After she voluntarily withdrew from the student council election, although she seemed calm and natural now, it was probably related to the aftereffects of that defeat.

At first, Li Xuan thought she was overthinking things, but after arriving here, he felt quite at ease with the environment.

"Do you like swimming?" Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly asked.

"It's alright," Li Xuan replied as he walked on the beach.

"Psychologically speaking, the space here is very spacious, and when people are in an open area, the pressure hidden in their hearts will be released."

Standing beside the azure sea, Yukino asked, "I heard you've been very busy with work. Have you taken on more work recently?"

The latest addition is managing a commercial street...

As Li Xuan was still pondering what excuse to use to deflect the recent increase in "pressure," a woman's voice suddenly came from not far away.

"Ah, Nitta, you're Nitta, right?"

On the beach, a woman seemed delighted to spot Li Xuan and greeted him.

Li Xuan's attention was diverted. He glanced at it and soon recognized that it seemed to be Ms. Miku, the section chief he had interviewed before.

"Senior!"

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and habitually addressed her using his previous address.

"It's been a long time. I never expected to see you here. It's so great!"

Dressed casually, Miku smiled and approached, saying, "After the interview, I was worried that you had encountered some difficulties, but you look great now, that's wonderful."

Although Section Chief Miku is only twenty-six years old, after getting to know her for a while, I found her to be a very respectable senior colleague.

"Thank you for your help, I'm doing quite well now."

Li Xuan smiled and said.

Just then, the man who had helped buy the items hurried back and called out to Miku, "Miku, I'm back."

"Hmm." Miku snapped out of her reverie, turned her head, and smiled.

"Long, you're back. By the way, I ran into someone I knew from work before, let's chat."

She introduced Li Xuan, whose body was mostly obscured by her angle, to the returning Long, saying, "Let me introduce you, this is Nitta. I've always thought this junior is very talented. I'm so happy to run into him here today."

She then introduced the tall, 28- or 29-year-old man, who was also wearing sunglasses, to the completely bewildered Li Xuan, saying, "Xintian, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Long. He's a very kind person. He used to be a musician at a bar, and we just started dating this month."

On the beach, both men fell silent...

Junior colleagues...

Bar musician......

The second meeting between the War Demon and the Undying Dragon felt unusually awkward and uncomfortable...

Chapter 57 Even Cold People Have Feelings (Part 2)

on the beach.

"N-Nice to meet you!"

With Section Chief Miku's smile as a shield, Ryu put on a twisted, polite smile and said, "I'm Miku's boyfriend, Ryu. It's really nice to meet you."

Under Yukino's curious gaze, Li Xuan, with a forced smile, replied, "I'm Section Chief Miku's junior. Nice to meet you."

"Don't joke around, Miku... Junior colleague, are you from the demolition company? This guy is a real demon who blows up other people's buildings without a second thought!"

Behind the dragon's smile lies an unbelievable cry from within.

Li Xuan stared in astonishment at Miku's smiling face, thinking, "Section Chief Miku, wake up! This guy doesn't look like a musician at all. Have you ever seen a bar musician who plays by hitting people on the head with a steel pipe?!"

However, it is easy to see from the current situation that both Li Xuan and Long are determined not to reveal their underworld backgrounds.

"By the way, who is this lovely girl next to you?"

At this moment, Miku finally looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who had been silent all along, and asked with a smile.

"..."

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, and he subconsciously glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Yukino Yukinoshita. I'm an acquaintance of Nitta." Yukino Yukinoshita bowed slightly politely as she introduced herself to Miku and Ryu.
