"Guangyou, you don't need to worry about so much. We were already planning to invest in that amusement park recently, and this matter has just made us change our plans a little."

Seeing that Kouyu's expression was complicated, Sonoko assumed he was still struggling with the money issue, so she said these words.

"I didn't care. I just felt that the compensation was a bit too much."

This is the question that Guangyou is thinking about. He accepted the money without feeling guilty because the park's actions were inherently dishonest.

But now that he knows all of this was because of Sonoko's help, and that Sonoko's family paid a large sum of money for it, Kōyū suddenly feels that the money is a bit too much to handle.

"It's nothing~"

Sonoko waved her hand dismissively and said, "That money is yours to take, don't worry about it so much, besides, it's not a lot of money."

"All right."

Reminded by her words, Guangyou remembered that the person in front of him was no ordinary person; she was the daughter of the Suzuki family.

Her usual allowance is probably several times more than this compensation. The previous billions of yen that Kōyū received is probably just a few weeks or a month or two's profit for the Suzuki Group.

Thinking of this, Guangyou finally felt a little more at ease.

Fortunately, the Suzuki Group has substantial financial resources, so this amount of money is nothing. Moreover, the asset they bought is an amusement park, meaning the money spent can be recouped within a few years.

A sum of over a billion yen is nearly a hundred million RMB, which is no small amount. If someone loses such a large sum of money because of him, he will inevitably feel guilty.

"By the way, Sonoko-neechan, how did you find out about this?"

Kōyū looked at Sonoko with a puzzled expression. He was curious, even though he didn't think he had spread the news. "Is it because of the news from a few days ago?"

"yes."

Sonoko nodded and explained, "That day, Lord Kid sent out invitations, so I was watching TV and then I saw your news."

"At the time, I felt that the figure in the picture looked familiar. I don't know why, but I felt that the person in the picture was you, so I called to confirm."

Hearing this explanation, Guangyou laughed. If they were just strangers or acquaintances, it would be impossible to recognize him from just a blurry silhouette.

"Sister Sonoko".

Sonoko looked up at Kōsuke, puzzled, when she heard him call her name. She asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or something?"

Guangyou shook his head, smiled gently, and said, "No, I just wanted to say thank you."

"It's nothing, there's no need for us to be so polite. You saved me before."

Sonoko was taken aback, then scratched her head shyly and laughed, "I'm not used to you being so polite all of a sudden, you little rascal."

Hehe~

Guangyou laughed along with her, not as a formality, but because the laughter came from the heart.

After hearing Sonoko's explanation, Kōyū guessed what had happened: Sonoko, who was originally a fan of idols, recognized him in the news. After confirming that it was indeed him, Sonoko asked someone to negotiate with the Sonoko administration.

In the end, they spent a large sum of money to buy the amusement park, and while paying him a huge sum in compensation, they didn't want him to know about it.

Guangyou felt incredibly lucky to have met such a friend; he was deeply moved!

Money is secondary; the sentiment behind it is priceless.

"Alright, I have things to do tonight, so I won't disturb your rest."

Sonoko stood up from her chair, reached out and ruffled Kouyu's hair, and said, "If you really want to thank me, just cook me a big meal after you recover."

Guangyou nodded without hesitation and agreed: "No problem."

"Bye-Bye."

"Be careful on the road."

After saying hello, Sonoko pushed open the door and went out.

At this moment, only Kōyū was left in the room. Rin had gone to see the three little ones off and hadn't returned yet, probably busy with her studies. Conan had already slipped upstairs, most likely to be reading "Sherlock Holmes".

The door was open, and the flowing air brought the aromas from the kitchen into his room.

"Is it pork rib soup? It smells delicious."

Despite the soreness, Guangyou found a more comfortable position and leaned against the headboard, closing his eyes. "I just don't know when we can eat. I'm getting hungry."

...

He didn't know how much time had passed when, in his daze, Guangyou was awakened by a rich aroma that made his stomach rumble. As the rumbling of his stomach grew louder, he gradually came to his senses.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Kōyū saw Ai sitting by his bedside.

"woke up?"

Ai picked up the bowl from the bedside table, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to Kouyu's lips. Her cool voice held a hint of expectation, "Want to try it?"

The long simmering process turned the originally clear soup slightly white, and the rich aroma uncontrollably wafted into the nose.

The excellent presentation and enticing aroma made Guangyou's mouth water. He was about to respond, but he couldn't help but open his mouth and drink the soup in the spoon.

The soup is warm, and you can feel its rich and mellow flavor as soon as you take a sip. The natural sweetness of the vegetables blends perfectly with the aroma of the meat.

Even after the soup had flowed down his throat into his stomach, Guangyou could still taste the lingering flavor of the soup in his mouth, and if he listened carefully, he could also taste a hint of the sweetness of the vegetables.

Under Ai's slightly expectant gaze, Kōyū nodded and praised, "It's delicious, the best I've ever had."

This isn't flattery; it's the truth.

This kind of soup needs to be simmered to taste good, which takes a lot of time and effort. Guangyou himself is too lazy to simmer it, and hotels generally don't have that much time to simmer it.
