I suddenly became a yakuza boss.

"..." Li Xuan looked at Yang Nai, not knowing why, but he always felt that Yang Nai seemed to dislike those kinds of occasions as well.

But whether it was true or not, Li Xuan wasn't sure, and he didn't know much about Yukinoshita Haruno, who had hidden herself very well.

Yang Nai stood by the river, silent for a moment. For some reason, the shade of the trees enveloped her, and raindrops dripping from the leaves soaked her hair and clothes, yet she remained motionless.

"The environment here is really great. It's July, which is the beginning of autumn in Japan. The trees in the deep mountains are changing color. The only son of the steel group is indeed a mountain climbing enthusiast. He really knows how to choose the time. It looks like this trip won't be too boring."

Yang Nai and Li Xuan stood by the river, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains opposite, which resembled an ink painting, and said with emotion.

"That's good. I actually quite enjoy hiking."

Li Xuan said.

Yang Nai was taken aback, looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Oh, does Xuan-jun like mountain climbing? What other hobbies do you like?"

"I like games, game character models, as well as mountain climbing, reading novels, reading comics, traveling, food, and car culture."

Li Xuan stood to the side and explained.

Yang Nai was slightly taken aback, thinking that these hobbies were really ordinary and not much different from those of ordinary young people.

He is the strongest in Chiba, a real-life hero, a legendary warrior sung by the people of Chiba...

Huhu.

Leaves are falling.

As Yang Nai's hair swayed, she also witnessed the red leaves falling one by one.

"Young Miss, what are your hobbies...?"

Li Xuan countered with a question.

"Ah, I suddenly thought of a question: why do maple leaves turn red? Let me search for the answer."

Yang Nai immediately took out her phone and spoke almost simultaneously with Li Xuan, interrupting Li Xuan's question.

A cunning woman...

Li Xuan stared at her, thinking to himself.

"In addition to pigments such as chlorophyll, xanthophyll, and carotene, plant leaves also contain a special pigment called anthocyanin, which turns red when exposed to acidic environments. In July, although the weather is still relatively warm, the lower sunlight, humidity, and temperature in the deep mountains cause the leaves to produce more anthocyanin, while the cell sap also becomes acidic, resulting in some plant leaves turning red."

While Yang Nai was searching for the answer, Li Xuan, who was standing next to her, had already given a textbook answer.

Yang Nai, who was avoiding Li Xuan's question, was slightly taken aback and looked up at Li Xuan.

"Hey, how do you know so much?" Yang Nai blinked and asked in surprise.

Li Xuan replied, "This is essential knowledge in botany, and it's covered in high school."

"...We haven't learned that."

Yang Nai paused for a moment, then said.

"Is that so?" Li Xuan also realized that there were probably different versions of the Japanese textbooks. He paused for a moment and said in a low voice.

"Then, let me ask another question: why can plants survive in water, even though there is no air?"

Yang Nai looked down at the water plants again and asked.

"That's because aquatic plants can photosynthesize with the carbon dioxide in the water. Water also contains carbon dioxide," Li Xuan explained without hesitation as he looked around.

Yang Nai glanced at Li Xuan again.

He's someone who studied diligently...

From his excellent data analysis skills in the project proposal to his apparent interest in biology, it was clear that he was a very good student.

To her surprise, he had such talent, so what was his reason for joining the underworld?

"..." Yang Nai was silent for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

"You were right after all. Perhaps... I really didn't understand you, Ah Xuan."

The clever girl rested her chin on the railing and said jokingly.

Li Xuan, who was still observing the aquatic plants, was slightly taken aback and asked, "Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Yang Nai, however, did not respond to Li Xuan's words again, and continued, "When I heard your explanation, I suddenly realized that my own cell fluid is also acidic, because I am also someone whose color changes with the environment. And you, Ah Xuan, are like seaweed. In the cold darkness, as long as there is a ray of sunlight, you can absorb the excess carbon dioxide from animals in the water and release the oxygen that this world needs."

Li Xuan asked in astonishment, "What does this metaphor mean?"

Yang Nai said, "It means I'm praising you."

She looked at the red maple leaves that had fallen into the water and would gradually rot just because of the cold weather, and the water plants underneath.

I accidentally blocked your sunlight, what a cruel twist of fate! Please don't hate it, my little waterweed...

Before leaving, the fallen leaves slightly obscured Yang Nai's beautiful smile, and she silently pondered this thought.

※※※※

The vehicle was parked at the foot of a scenic mountain parking lot.

The beauty of mountains lies in their towering grandeur, their precipitous cliffs, and their overlapping peaks. It also lies in the clouds shrouding the treetops, the mist flowing through the valleys, the green forests swaying in the wind, and the white waters rushing through the streams. Their vitality gathers in the verdant vegetation, where flocks of birds sing among the trees. The splendor of mountains lies in the first rays of sunlight at dawn, the last glow of the setting sun at dusk, the freedom in the wind, and the desolation in the rain.

The Japanese forests, adorned by the autumn wind, are indeed quite beautiful.

"Sorry, sorry, Mr. Gu Yuan, I took the wrong road by accident, so I'm a little late."

Yang Nai arrived at the agreed location with Li Xuan and explained with an embarrassed expression.

Despite slacking off three times along the way, Yono, as expected of a daughter from a political family, put on an expression that looked exactly like the real thing.

"It's alright, I'm already very happy that Yukinoshita-san was willing to come."

A well-dressed young man with glasses politely accepted Yang Nai's birthday gift and thanked her.

"Let me introduce you. This is my friend, Gen Nitta. He's also started his own company, a construction company, and we're business partners."

Compared to when she introduced him to her university classmates, Yang Nai gave a much more detailed introduction, she said with a smile.

Yang is very shrewd. It seems that the introduction he gave to his university classmates that time was just a general introduction, and he didn't want to reveal too much information to those who were being nosy. But this person is the only son of Chiba Steel Company, and his status is completely different, so the content of the introduction is also different.

The young lady still spared no effort in expanding his network of contacts.

"Ah Xuan, if you don't like this environment, stay here by yourself for a bit. I'll go say hello. Just stay here and keep watch over me from a distance."

After Li Xuan and Gu Yuan finished exchanging business cards, Yang Nai, understanding Li Xuan's feelings, first spoke in a teasing tone.

Li Xuan paused for a moment, then nodded, expressing his gratitude for Yang Nai's understanding.

Yang then stepped forward to communicate with the county councilors and their children, as well as the children of businesspeople.

Unexpectedly, Li Xuan also saw that Yang Nai had joined the Chiba University students from the library a few days ago, and they seemed to have made up completely and were getting along well.

“...Young Miss”

In the forest, Li Xuan always felt that Yang Nai's identity was that of a water plant that could produce oxygen while living in cold water.

Just then, Li Xuan, standing among the crowd at the foot of the mountain, inadvertently exchanged glances with several passing hikers.

At this moment, the people dispatched by the Ashikawa group have basically arrived.

Many of the hikers were top-notch members of the Illuminati, carrying firearms, ready to cover Yang Nai's retreat should anything go wrong.

Yakuza rarely use firearms in cities, but in the suburbs, the likelihood of shootouts is extremely high.

Li Xuan kept a close eye on the guests beside Yang Nai throughout the entire process.

It's unclear whether it was because staring at her was too strange, but some guests started pointing and whispering in Yang Nai's direction. Feeling rather embarrassed, Li Xuan looked in that direction and, after explaining or introducing something to the guests, the group continued to look at him, chatting and laughing...

Just as Li Xuan was doing his best to protect Yukino Yukinoshita, he inadvertently spotted an unexpected figure in the crowd.

He was an off-the-list guest who also had dyed his hair yellow and had a carefree and unpredictable personality.

He remembered that his name was something like... Tobu Sho.

How did he get here?!

"what!"

Wearing casual clothes, Tobu Sho was chatting and laughing with a group of companions when he bumped into Li Xuan, who was too caught off guard to avoid or cover his face. He was stunned at first, but then he seemed to have seen a ghost and shuddered in fright.

"Oh no!" Li Xuan knew that Hu Bu Xiang probably knew his identity, and if this person talked nonsense, the situation would become even more complicated.

Just as Li Xuan was about to take action, a figure appeared in the high society crowd and stopped him.

"Excuse me."

A handsome high school boy stepped forward, blocked his way, and said politely.

Li Xuan looked at the person who had stopped him; this was the third time he had seen this face.

"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time. If it's convenient, could we talk somewhere quieter?"

Hayato Hayama is a famously handsome guy at Chiba High School, and more importantly, the son of a top lawyer. He's also seen as a kind old man.

After numerous coincidental encounters, Li Xuan and Ye Shan finally had their first conversation.

The relationship between the yakuza and the Yukino and Yukino sisters seems to need to be thoroughly investigated...

Chapter 069 The Snow-Under-the-Fields Sisters Are Always Cold (4k)

Down the mountain, in a place not far away.

"I'm sorry, this is the best I can do. You can say what you need to say here."

Li Xuan stopped in his tracks, looked at Hayama Hayato, and said.

Hayato Hayama, who was walking ahead, paused slightly and turned to look at Li Xuan.

"This... is fine too."

Hayato Hayama stood under the shade of the tree, somewhat hesitant, but quickly agreed.

“Mr. Nitta, we’ve met a few times before. My name is Hayama Hayato. I’ve been wanting to get to know you for a long time, but I haven’t had the chance.”

Hayato Hayama said with a smile. He was indeed well-mannered and had a gentle and handsome appearance, making a very good first impression.

In contrast to Hayato Hayama's kind face, Li Xuan was the complete opposite. His gaze was too sharp, as if he always questioned everything. His taciturn expression made it difficult to guess what he was thinking, giving people an aura of unapproachability.

The two of them stood on opposite sides, even though they were quite similar in many ways, they were two completely opposite types of people.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a rush. Is there anything you want to say to me?"
