Li Chan was looking at Yuki in astonishment.
Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of him:
"Yuki Fujimoto is the heiress of the Fujimoto Group, one of Japan's top business groups, with an empire generating over 100 billion yen in revenue annually. If you gain 100% of Yuki's trust, you will be rewarded with 10 billion yen."
Li Chan's eyes widened in shock. "What? 10 billion?" he said in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Yuki's gaze fell on Li Chan. She glanced at her body, then covered her chest with her hands and screamed, "Ahhhh!"
Hearing this, Li Chan snapped back to reality and looked at her. Yuki's clothes were wet and clung tightly to her body. She was scared, with tears in her eyes. In a soft, trembling voice, she asked, "Who are you? You didn't do anything to me, did you?"
Li Chan just stared at her silently. Suddenly, blood started dripping from his nose.
Yuki saw him and asked, "Hey, what's wrong with you? Why is your nose bleeding?"
Wiping his nose, Li Chan thought, *Damn, how did the system give her 94 points?*
Then he said to Yuki, "I'm fine, and I didn't do anything to you."
Yuki asked in surprise, "Then how did I end up here?"
Li Chan explained, "I was in a taxi when I saw two people in black clothes trying to throw you off a bridge. As soon as I approached them, they got scared and ran away. I jumped into the river to save you. That's why I'm not hurt."
Yuki's face suddenly turned serious. Looking at Li Chan, she said, "I understand. Sorry, I misunderstood you."
Li Chan, a bit surprised, thought, *This girl seemed so childish, and now she's changed so quickly.*
Then he asked, "Do you know who those people were?"
Lowering her voice, Yuki replied, "They were my stepbrother's men."
Li Chan, shocked, said, "But why would your brother want to kill you?"
Yuki, raising her voice slightly, said, "Let's not talk about that now. You saved me, thank you. I'll definitely repay you."
As Li Chan started to leave, he said, "No, you don't need to repay me."
Yuki thought for a moment and asked, "Can I come with you?"
Li Chan turned back to look at her. "Why? Won't you go home?"
In a pleading tone, Yuki said, "If I go back now, my brother will try to kill me again. I want to hide for a while so I can figure out how to handle this situation."
Li Chan thought to himself, *She's got a point. Her stepbrother seems like a powerful person; maybe she can't protect herself.*
Then it struck him, *But where do I keep her? Will they allow her in the boys' hostel?*
Just then, Yuki looked at him with an innocent and cute expression. It felt like light from her eyes was shining directly on Li Chan's face.
Li Chan covered his eyes with both hands and, a bit flustered, said, "Alright, fine. Come with me."
A calm smile spread across Yuki's face.
Suddenly, a *ding* sounded in Li Chan's system, and a notification appeared:
"Yuki's trust in the host has increased from 5%. Her current trust level is 5%. From the 10 billion yen reward, 5%—meaning 500 million yen—has been added to your account."
Seeing this, Li Chan thought in astonishment, *That much money? I was supposed to go buy property on Saturday, but I was short on funds. Now that problem is solved.*
Then he started taking off his shirt.
Yuki, a bit alarmed, asked, "Hey, why are you taking off your shirt?"
Li Chan, holding his shirt, approached her. Yuki took a step back.
Then he draped his shirt over her wet clothes and said, "Your clothes are completely sticking to your body. Let's go."
Yuki took a deep breath and thought, *Looks like this guy isn't bad. Thank God.*
Then they both left the place.
A little while later, a taxi stopped outside Li Chan's hostel.
Li Chan got out of the taxi, walked toward the gate, and opened the door for Yuki. Yuki stepped out and paused for a moment.
Li Chan went to the taxi driver and asked, "Uncle, how much is it?"
The driver smiled and said, "400 yen."
Then he handed Li Chan a ride-sharing pass.
Li Chan was momentarily surprised, then bowed his head. The driver whispered in his ear, "Kid, your girlfriend is really cute. But are you keeping her with you tonight?"
Li Chan, a bit flustered, replied, "It's not like that."
The driver laughed and drove off, saying, "There's something there. We were like you once."
From behind, Yuki asked Li Chan, "What happened?"
Li Chan looked at her. In his mind, he thought, *This girl looks even prettier in this dress. I thought she'd wear a 100,000-yen dress, but I was wrong.*
Then he thought, *When we were walking on the road to the taxi stand, everyone was staring at Yuki. Maybe that's why she felt uncomfortable.*
Seeing this, Li Chan said to Yuki, "Hey, let's go. I'll buy you a dress."
Yuki hesitated and said, "No, there's no need."
In her heart, she thought, *This guy is nice, but he's just a university student. His money is important for his studies.*
Then Li Chan said, "Come on, you can consider it a gift from me."
Yuki looked around. Some boys were staring at her.
Seeing this, she said to Li Chan, "Alright, fine. Let's go."
Then they both entered a dress shop.
Li Chan picked up a dress and said to Yuki, "Maybe this will look good on you."
Yuki looked at the dress and said, "I don't like it."
Then she chose another blue dress.
Seeing the price tag, Li Chan asked in surprise, "What, only 2000 yen?"
Hearing this, Yuki said, "Yeah, I liked it, so I'll take it." Then she went to the changing room.
Meanwhile, Li Chan thought, *I thought she wouldn't wear anything less than 100,000 yen, but I was wrong.*
Just then, Yuki called out, "Hey, mister, how do I look?"
Li Chan turned around and froze for a moment.
Yuki's hair was perfectly set, and the 2000-yen dress didn't look cheap anymore—it looked like a premium 200,000-yen dress.
Li Chan, in awe, said, "You really look great."
Yuki gave a calm smile.
Seeing all this, Li Chan took Yuki to his hostel.
In his mind, he thought, *I wonder what everyone's reaction will be.*
Opening his room's door, he said, "Yuki, wait here. I'll go in first."
As soon as he opened the door, his friends, who had been waiting for him, asked in unison, "Brother, what happened this morning?"
Li Chan got a bit nervous.
Just then, Yuki entered the room from behind.
