Chapter 241: Chapter 197: Treasure Beichuan Huili (4000 words)

"Twenty million yen?"

Even Beichuan Si couldn’t help but gape, and Shen Gu Mirai’s eyes widened as well.

For Mirai, twenty million yen was an amount that, while not crippling to her family’s finances, meant that they would no longer be able to make large expenditures for a while.

But here was Nakajima Michika, casually mentioning a sum of twenty million yen...

Should one say, as expected of a representative contemporary female singer? She truly had a terrifyingly lavish disposition.

Although Mirai wanted to tell Mr. Temple that he was not a man to be swayed by money, to not use money to threaten him—this was simply too much.

And Mr. Temple had been rather short on cash from the beginning.

Mirai cautiously glanced at Beichuan Si’s expression.

What happened next surprised her even more.

Beichuan Si’s face was as calm as still water, his gaze steady and untroubled, as if the offered reward could not sway his heart, firm as a rock.

Mr. Temple was too incredible! To remain calm under these circumstances!

Mirai cleared her throat twice, suppressing her chaotic thoughts, and stood resolutely behind Beichuan Si.

In her view, whatever Beichuan Si thought, she thought the same. If Beichuan Si agreed, she would have no objections. If Beichuan Si thought it was no good, she would not persuade otherwise.

Finally, Beichuan Si spoke, his eyes lifting, his voice sounding a bit harsh, "Twenty million?"

Nakajima Michika did not back down; she nodded, "Correct, twenty million yen. Even after deducting the meals, electricity, and rent for the half-year I stayed at your place, Mr. Beichuan, there should still be eighteen million yen left."

Knowing she had to make the accounts clear at that moment, she voiced all her thoughts.

"Additionally," Qianye Yuki suddenly interjected from the side, looking at Beichuan Si, "Senior Beichuan, I also hope you will help correct Shihua’s current attitude toward life..."

"Yuki—" Nakajima Michika tugged at Qianye Yuki’s arm, looking embarrassed.

"This is my main goal, Shihua, you must agree to this."

Qianye Yuki was immovable.

Yuki, a girl who was tenacious and self-made, shared the same stubbornness as Nakajima Michika.

Seeing Qianye Yuki speak thus, Nakajima Michika could only move her lips a bit, sigh, and raise her hands in surrender:

"Yes, yes, yes. Then I’ll be troubling you, Mr. Beichuan."

’Correct her attitude toward life’?

Beichuan Si couldn’t help but recall Nakajima Michika’s unrestrainedly decadent tone from earlier.

What could have happened to make a flourishing singer seem like someone who had suffered a huge blow, becoming what she is now?

Beichuan Si was silent for a while.

One’s attitude toward life could often be seen through their actions and speech. To correct it—

After contemplating, Beichuan Si replied, "If Miss Nakajima agrees, then I might be a bit offensive in the future."

"Since Yuki said it... I’ll agree." Nakajima Michika managed a strained smile.

Beichuan Si’s eyes flickered slightly, "Then I will certainly fulfill the requests of both Miss Qianye and you, Miss Nakajima."

"..."

For some reason, Nakajima Michika felt an inexplicable sense of pressure from this young man, who was so much younger than herself.

He looked just like any other high school boy, so why did he make her feel this way?

Nakajima Michika’s brows furrowed slightly, her lively face showing traces of dispiritedness.

Regardless, she had already requested his help, and pondering over these feelings was pointless. She’d just have to muddle through the next half-year.

"Then, Mirai and I will be taking our leave," Beichuan Si said in farewell.

"Not at all, it’s us who have interrupted your meal, Senior Beichuan," Qianye Yuki said with a polite smile.

It was her first day on the job, and she needed only to familiarize herself with the school environment; she wasn’t in a rush, as she didn’t need to teach any classes for the time being.

Qianye Yuki and Nakajima Michika stood watching Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai walking away.

"How about it, Shihua? Isn’t Senior Beichuan different from the high school students you imagined?"

Qianye Yuki suddenly asked.

Yet Nakajima Michika remained listless, replying offhandedly, "Hmm... different from a typical high school student, he seems very serious... it’s just that I might let him down."

She was already resolved to idle away the next half year; no one could change her current mindset.

Qianye Yuki glanced at Nakajima Michika, fully aware of her thoughts.

But—

A smile couldn’t help but emerge on Qianye Yuki’s face.

Did you really think a Senior Beichuan who had been paid would be that easy to deal with?

Although Qianye Yuki had only met Beichuan Si a few times, she had a good grasp of his character.

Beichuan Si would put eleven units of effort for every ten he had, twelve for every eleven. As for Nakajima Michika’s half-hearted attitude...

Well, no matter how much Nakajima Michika would plead with her later, she would absolutely not entertain her.

"I’ll move your things to Senior Beichuan’s house this afternoon, is that okay?"

"Hmm... whatever." Nakajima Michika, not picking up on Qianye Yuki’s hidden thoughts, casually responded.

...

Time moved on to after school in the afternoon.

Below Kyubei High School, various club recruitment booths were set up.

This week was club recruitment week, mainly because the seniors had left, juniors were becoming seniors, and fresh blood was naturally needed to fill the gaps in the clubs.

As Hui Li had told him, she was already predestined to be a member of the art club, so Beichuan Si didn’t need to use his own reputation to force the club to take his sister in.

This was a cause for celebration.
