It was clear that few guests came here. Ms. Senjougahara looked around, trying to find some snacks to serve the guests, and finally sighed helplessly.

"It's alright, I'm just handling some work on behalf of the government."

The boy waved his hand, then pulled out a document: "Bei Mu Ni Zhou, who previously defrauded your family, has been caught. Based on the amount he confessed to defrauding, it will now be returned in full. The check is tucked in the back."

Kaiki Deishu didn't have much savings. To make up for the losses he caused, the exorcism group confiscated all of his magical items and other possessions. After auctioning them off, he barely managed to save enough money to pay the Senjougahara family.

Let him pay the rest slowly in prison; there are plenty of ways to completely squeeze out his remaining value.

Upon hearing this reply, the battlefield was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the soldiers, their hearts filled with awe and fear, were utterly captivated.

He then took the documents and browsed through their contents in detail, including but not limited to information on Bei Mu Ni Zhou, criminal evidence, case files, and sentencing results.

After a long while, she seemed like a doll released from its restraints, hugging the documents and laughing out loud, but tears streamed down her face.

"that……"

Li Wei took out a handkerchief and handed it to the boy, but the boy hugged him very warmly: "Thank you. In all these years, you are the only one who has helped me, and twice at that."

"..." Do we know each other?

The boy racked his brains, but he had absolutely no recollection of the surname Senjougahara.

"You don't remember me?" The girl seemed more surprised than Li Wei.

"I'm sorry, I have absolutely no recollection of it," Li Wei said, somewhat embarrassed.

"What about this?"

The girl found a towel and completely wrapped it around her long, straight black hair. Then she brought her face close and looked at him very seriously.

This look seems a little familiar... wait a minute!

"You are Dangyang?" Li Wei's memories were instantly activated.

That happened when Li Wei was nine years old.

At that time, he continued to practice medicine online as always, treating those he could, and recommending those who couldn't to go to St. Juliana Hospital to make an appointment with a specialist.

One of the netizens, named Dangyang, seemed to be around the same age as him. She contracted a very difficult disease with less than a 10% chance of survival, and her parents were almost in despair.

Later, Li Wei introduced the dark-skinned doctor to him, which saved him from danger.

When the boy arrived at the hospital, he only saw the young girl, her whole body wrapped in bandages after the surgery, lying on the bed and smiling at him.

For him, it was just a simple experience in his daily medical practice. Afterwards, the girl's parents brought her to the kindergarten to present a banner, and then there was no further contact.

"Back then, you told me that your name was Dangyang..."

The boy, who was only sixteen years old, suddenly felt that time was a cruel mistress.

"You remember now?" the girl teased. "The way you knocked on the door just now, I thought you were coming to break off the engagement."

"How could I... What do you mean by breaking off the engagement?" Li Wei seemed to have heard some incredible key words.

"That's what I mean."

The girl made an amused expression, then pulled out another piece of paper.

Marriage certificate

[I, Sakata Gintoki, am temporarily unable to repay Mr. Senjougahara's construction debt, and have decided to use Li Wei as collateral. If the debt cannot be repaid within six months, I will give Li Wei to the Senjougahara family as a child groom.]

At the bottom are Sakata Gintoki's signature and handprint.

Li Wei: "...???!!!" Now it's confirmed, it really is an extraordinary keyword!

Chapter 12: About the fact that I inexplicably have a fiancée

As everyone knows, Sakata Gintoki is a very unreliable person. Just when you think this guy can finally be reliable and dependable, he always manages to come up with something new to make you realize the cruelty of society and the wickedness of people's hearts.

For example, right now, when Li Wei looked at the description in his hand, which was three parts like a marriage certificate, seven parts like a debt settlement certificate, and ninety parts like a human trafficking document, he was completely dismayed.

At the same time, the murderous intent toward a certain silver-haired man with naturally curly hair increased by at least 500%.

"Oh, it seems you yourself are unaware of these things?"

The girl, who looked completely transformed and much more energetic, suddenly became inexplicably sarcastic: "When I opened the door and saw you, I was thinking that the Senjougahara family had fallen on hard times and was planning to annul the engagement before the wedding date."

When you opened the door, you shouldn't have called me Avi, you should have said "Fighting Power, Third Stage" first.

Then a stunningly beautiful married woman appears from the ring, leading you on a journey of cultivation, chanting "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river," and "Never underestimate a poor young woman," as you embark on a journey to punch Arcueid and kick Ryougi Shiki.

"So, I have a fiancée." The young man nodded, having regained his composure. "When was this marriage certificate issued? Could you tell me if you could?"

“That happened when my dad took me to visit the kindergarten.” Senjougahara Hitagi pondered for a moment before answering. “At the time, the kindergarten was undergoing expansion and renovation. It seems that the silver-haired, naturally curly-haired principal had used some money to pay off debts and was short of funds, so she borrowed a considerable amount of money from my dad.”

As expected, everything went wrong because of Gintoki.

He remembered this incident; it seemed that when Granny Otose fell seriously ill, everyone chipped in for her medical expenses, but Gintoki, that spendthrift, couldn't come up with any money. Later, he somehow managed to get some money, which Li Weiquan assumed he had earned by helping people kill people again.

Now it turns out they misappropriated the money for the renovation and expansion of the kindergarten, and then sold themselves when it came time to pay for the project.

“Okay, I understand completely now.” Li Wei nodded. “Pack your bags and come with me.”

"Okay... eh?" The beautiful girl with long, straight black hair wearing black stockings tilted her head.

"I said, pack your bags and come with me. Aren't you my fiancée?"

The boy sighed: "I can't let you live here forever. The environment is terrible, and the security is terrible. It's not reassuring at all."

Although I never thought this would happen, there's nothing I can do now that it's already happened.

Perhaps with a touch of sympathy and pity, or perhaps with the air of a childhood sweetheart appearing out of nowhere, Li Wei decided to accept this fiancée.

Even if Senjougahara wasn't his fiancée, it would be hard for Li Wei to be happy to see someone he knew in such a state.

"Really? Avi, you're really responsible."

Upon hearing these words, Senjougahara's gaze towards the boy changed slightly.

That was a slight melting away of the look that had once rejected everything and distrusted everyone, replaced by a touch of human emotion.

The girl flipped through the photo album, searching for pictures inside.

The boy noticed that in almost all of the family photos, the woman who was the girl's mother had her face painted black, as if to expel her from the Senjougahara family in this way.

Next time I have the chance, I'll investigate what exactly happened in their family.

Li Wei thought this to himself without showing any emotion.

Finally, turning to the last page, a photo that seemed to have been taken out so often that the edges were a bit curled was picked out from among the many group photos.

In the photo, nine-year-old Li Wei is holding a young girl who has just recovered from a serious illness in his arms with great affection. Because she is very weak, the girl is sitting in a wheelchair with her head wrapped in thick bandages, looking up at the boy pushing the wheelchair, while Li Wei is smiling very brightly.

Li Wei looked at the young girl in the photo, then at the sharp-tongued, long-haired woman beside him, and sighed silently, "Time flies."

Who could have imagined that the once sunny and cheerful atmosphere would turn into what it is today?

"Today is a day to celebrate. I'm going to call my dad later and tell him the good news." With that, the girl, who had been kneeling on the tatami, stood up.

Then, with a "clang," a sharp compass jumped out from her skirt and crashed heavily to the ground.

Li Wei: "..."

Senjougahara: "I was doing my geometry homework just now, so it's normal to carry a compass with me, right?"

Li Wei: "That's normal." That's reasonable, after all, everyone is a student and should prioritize their studies.

Thinking this, Senjougahara turned around and took a step, and with another "duang" sound, a pair of scissors fell out of her skirt.

Li Wei: "..."

Senjougahara: "Before this, I was doing my craft class assignment, so it's normal to bring scissors, right?"

Li Wei: "That's normal." That makes perfect sense. It's really hard to do homework in home economics or craft classes without bringing scissors.

That's pretty much it. As Hitagi Senjougahara walked, knives, staplers, rulers, paper cutters, anesthetics, chains, padlocks, axes, gags, and hammers kept falling out of her four-dimensional skirt. This was all quite normal...

What a ghost!

"Why did you bring all these things?" Li Wei couldn't help but ask.

"You're focusing on what fell out instead of how it got back in? Avi, you're definitely not normal."

Senjougahara nodded, seemingly quite satisfied: "These are the wonderful tools that would have been used if you hadn't acknowledged my status as your fiancée."

So you were collecting these things because no one opened the door for so long.

"What kind of personalities do my fiancées have?" Li Wei sighed, rubbing his forehead. It seemed he would need to work on correcting them gradually.

Meanwhile, at Sakata Kindergarten, quite a distance away, Principal Sakata Gintoki was restless, as if some deadly threat was approaching him step by step.

It's that kind of terrifying threat that, in the early days, either because of a moment of joy or because of making a single move that caused a great deal of trouble, was about to unfold.

"It's strange. How could such a thing happen to a virtuous and upright person like me? It must be my imagination."

Shaking his head, Sakata Gintoki offered this explanation, somewhat to comfort himself, and picked his nose.

"Forget it, let's go out and have a good drink. That's how life should be lived. I just got another transfer, I wonder who gave it to me... whatever!"

The shameless, extreme sweet tooth chose to indulge in his sweet tooth rather than actively resolve the crisis.

This makes the future that the boy is about to face even more difficult.

PS: One of the main reasons I initially chose Sakata Gintoki as the principal was that he had run an Yorozuya and could do anything. Moreover, given his personality, he could be upright and brave, shameless, silly and clownish, or greedy for money, and no one would say he was out of character.

Chapter 13 The Number of Fiancées...

Unfortunately, Sakata Gintoki's plan to go for a drink completely failed. He had barely stepped into the gates of Yoshigen when he was dragged into the interrogation room of the Exorcist Group.

The familiar time, the familiar place, the familiar interrogator—it was still Li Wei.

The only difference was that this time there were only him and Li Wei in the interrogation room; everyone else had been asked to leave.

Judging from this, the boy really intends to do something to him, and even if he screams his lungs out, it won't make a difference.

"Li Wei, you brat, what are you planning to do? I haven't done anything yet."

Sakata Gintoki, who was initially a little flustered, suddenly realized that his behavior of visiting the brothel had not yet begun, and that the crackdown on prostitution would not affect him. Suddenly, he felt more confident.

The saying "Even a virtuous person can be deceived in a way" means exactly this.

"Director Sakata, please don't misunderstand, I have a small question I'd like to ask."

Li Wei smiled and nodded at the silver-haired, naturally curly man. He looked exceptionally sunny and cheerful, and girls outside would involuntarily exclaim "Wow!" when they saw him. His smile, which could make you eat two extra bowls of rice, would get at least 1+ downloads on the first section of the school website. However, Sakata Gintoki felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stood on end.

"Well... um, if there's any problem, we can talk about it at home. Isn't kindergarten your home? Hahaha..."

"Really? Do you really think so, Principal Sakata?"

"Of course! Come on, come on, Aikawa Misato has already prepared dinner, she made your favorite mother-daughter bowl..."

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Let's figure things out first before going back." Li Wei smiled gently and looked at Sakata Gintoki, saying, "I have many questions I'd like to ask you."

"But, but, there's still a lot of work to do at the kindergarten..."

"Beep—" Li Wei took out his phone and pressed play. The familiar sound immediately came from the phone:

"Hahaha, to hell with all that 'voluntary labor,' tonight I'm going to spend the night in a paradise of beauties, drinking until I drop, hahahahaha~"

"Eh, this, this, how do you have..." The silver-haired man with naturally curly hair stared in disbelief, speechless.

"That's not important. What I want to know is about my marriage to Hitagi Senjougahara."

With that, the boy handed over the marriage certificate bearing the guy's handprint—of course, it was a photocopy.

Upon seeing the evidence he had personally written—a marriage contract that was in reality a form of indenture—Sakata Gintoki felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

It's been exposed, it's finally been exposed. There really are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

“I didn’t want to either, but our kindergarten has nothing else to mortgage. The only thing that can be considered a rare commodity is you, Li Wei.” The silver-haired, naturally curly man argued confidently, “Li Wei, you don’t want the kindergarten to have to close down due to a lack of funds, do you?”

“Since I started junior high school, apart from my own living expenses, all the rest of my money was given to the kindergarten, right?” Li Wei expressed his doubt.

"But you were only nine years old when you signed this contract, and you weren't even in junior high yet. In the end, it was all because we didn't have the money!"

Sakata Gintoki looked heartbroken: "If I had money, would I be willing to sell you?"
