Chapter 249 Yuanmei's Relief

Chapter 242 Yuanmei's Relief

"With so many petals, I feel like I could make a lot of delicious jam."

At this moment, since the rain of petals had stopped, many parents, teachers and students watched for a while and found that everything was still calm and nothing else had happened, so they all came out and began to clean up the entire campus.

Yukito and Touya somehow got hold of two large burlap sacks. Yukito bent over and opened the sacks, while Touya shoveled piles of clean flower petals into Yukito's sacks.

The two worked efficiently and quickly filled two large sacks, which looked bulging and heavy.

"We came here to participate in the sports meet, so why are we suddenly doing chores?" Touya said, waving his large broom and stuffing the last few petals into a sack, expressing his heartfelt dissatisfaction.

Although the petals were light, Yukito made Touya keep stuffing them into the sack in order to make more jam, until they were packed so tightly that there were no gaps between the petals, before he would stop.

This resulted in the snow hare's two sacks being unusually heavy.

Holding his spoils, Snow Rabbit's eyes almost disappeared with laughter.

Hearing Touya's words, he chuckled and said, "Well, we're only missing our piece, and the petals all ended up in our pockets. What a fruitful day! When we get home, I can wash all the petals and make jam, then I'll share them with you and Sakura."

Touya thought about it and realized that Yukito's words made some sense. Although they had done some work, in fact, they hadn't done much.

After all, there are so many people, and besides them, quite a few others are collecting flower petals, which can be used to make jam, flower cakes, or spices.

It's something that kids can collect and make into a flower crown or bracelet for each other.

So with the help of all the teachers, students and parents, the entire campus was quickly cleaned up.

"With so many petals, we can probably make two or three jars of jam. I can buy you some bread then, and you can spread the jam on it and eat it whenever you're hungry," Touya said, standing straight.

If you eat it sparingly, it will definitely last a long time. A jar of jam is not cheap, so it can save you some money.

However, for a snow rabbit, it's impossible to eat sparingly, especially since it said it would give some to others.

Hmm? Giving it to someone else to eat?

Touya suddenly realized something, and his seemingly calm yet somewhat dangerous gaze fell on Yukito: "Them? Which 'them'?"

"Huh?" Yukito was clearly surprised that Touya would suddenly ask this. He paused for a moment, but still answered, "It's Sakura and her friends, like Chosei and Tomoyo."

"Don't be fooled by the number of flower petals in these two bags. If you really want to make jam, you can't make that many. And you want to share them with so many people? Do you even have enough for yourself?" Touya frowned.

"Ah, so that's what you're worried about, Touya." Upon hearing this, Yukito burst out laughing.

He chuckled, his beautiful big eyes looking at Touya, "It's okay, good food should be shared."

While the two were collecting flower petals and cleaning the campus, they were doing so.

Sonomi and Fujitaka both changed out of their sportswear and put their own clothes back on.

Yuanmei put her bright red dress back on, and instantly, her imposing aura became even stronger.

Fujitaka changed into his suit as well, and then strode towards Sonomi.

"I'm so angry!"

"I'm so angry!"

"(?`^′?) I'm so angry!"

Yuanmei was very dissatisfied with the result of the competition, and the more she thought about it, the angrier and more aggrieved she felt.

As she kept repeating herself, her voice trembled slightly towards the end, as if she were about to cry.

Seeing Fujitaka approaching her, he still had that annoying smile on his face, along with a hint of feigned concern.

How annoying!

Sonomi could no longer contain her pent-up emotions. She angrily raised a hand, pointed a vicious finger at Fujitaka's nose, and roared, "Damn it! Ever since high school, I've challenged you every time to prevent Nadeshiko from going to you, but I never won. In the end, Nadeshiko still left with you. Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Seeing Sonomi's almost broken expression, Fujitaka remained silent for a moment. He knew she definitely didn't want to see him right now, but in the end, he still spoke in his magnetic and gentle voice, "If I deliberately let you win, I don't think you'd be happy, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanmei was taken aback.

Fujitaka continued, "I understand that Nadeshiko holds an extremely important place in your heart. If I were to deliberately lose to you, it would be disrespectful to both you and Nadeshiko, wouldn't it? So every time you challenge me, no matter how busy or tired I am, I will do my best to prove to you that I will love Nadeshiko with all my heart, so that you can entrust her to me with peace of mind."

"You...I..." Sonoko was clearly taken aback by Fujitaka's words and was immediately stunned.

After a moment of blankness, some images suddenly popped into her mind, and she immediately became angry again.

"After Nadeshiko decided to be with you, she actually moved out with you. And the place you two lived in was a tiny apartment, so cramped, yet it had to accommodate two people!"

Sonomi's lips began to tremble slightly: "You're just a rookie teacher, yet you can replace me and eat with Nadeshiko every day, go to school together, and even... truly be together!"

Even after all these years, the most she's ever done is hold hands with Nadeshiko!

Although due to their age difference, both he and Nadeshiko said they would only be together after Nadeshiko came of age.

But even ordinary, casual intimacy would drive her crazy.

"Aren't you a rookie teacher usually very busy? Yet you still manage to make lunchboxes for Nadeshiko every day. Do you know how annoying it is for me that she praises your cooking to me every day and wants me to taste your food?"

"And when I saw you take out your lunchboxes, you and your husband were even using the same style of lunchbox!"

"They even hold hands and go home every day!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

It was clear that Sonomi was very angry.

Her body even began to tremble slightly.

"Do you want to eat? If you do, I can make you some lunchboxes when I have time..."

Before Fujitaka could finish speaking, Sonomi interrupted him directly: "I don't want to eat it at all! Do you think everyone wants to eat your bento?!"

The two were arguing.

Or rather, when Yuanmei is arguing on her own.

They were in the bushes not far away.

Wang Changsheng, Sakura, and Tomoyo hid among them.

It wasn't that Yuanmei and Fujitaka deliberately crawled into this corner; Wang Changsheng and the others insisted on coming over to eavesdrop on their private conversation.

However, when Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying came down from the rooftop, they deliberately chose a less crowded spot, thinking they might as well just fly down.

Unexpectedly, they ran into two parents who had also come to this quiet place to argue.

There was no other way; they had already flown halfway to the center, and they couldn't possibly fly back.

It wouldn't be good if someone noticed, so it could only fly into the bushes using the cover.

Actually, it wasn't that Sonomi and Fujitaka really wanted to go to such a secluded place to whisper to each other.

Fujitaka was so angry and frustrated after losing the match that he wanted to hide in a corner and vent his frustrations in a secluded place.

For example, punch the pillars on the teaching building twice, or shout a few times.

Unexpectedly, Sonomi followed them, and the two began to argue.

"Xiao Wang, what should we do now? They seem to be arguing..."

Hiding in the bushes, Sakura cautiously peeked out, her dark green eyes filled with worry as she watched her father and mother, Sonoko, argue back and forth.

It looks like it's going to be quite intense.

This made her a little worried; would the two of them start fighting in a bit?

"Arguing?" Hearing Xiaoying's worried words, Wang Changsheng glanced at her, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, he blinked, then leaned close to her ear and began to whisper his suggestions to her.

"Huh? Will this work? Won't it expose us?"

Xiaoying blinked at Wang Changsheng's suggestion, tilted her head and looked at him, somewhat uncertain.

Should I really use magic in front of the two of them?

"Uncle~" Wang Changsheng waved his hand casually.

If we could discover it, we already have; if we couldn't, then it doesn't matter what we do next.

Tomoyo was on the other side of Sakura, so she had heard most of Wang Changsheng's suggestion. Seeing Sakura's hesitation, she nodded and said, "I think Changsheng's idea is pretty good. My mom is really into it right now, and my uncle seems to be explaining something to her, so they shouldn't notice us."

"Alright..." Sakura nodded after hearing that both of her advisors had said so.

She took out the flower card she had recently captured and tucked into her bosom, and then very carefully tapped the Clow Card with her bird-headed magic wand, which had not yet turned back into a key.

"Keep it quiet and summon two flowers with calming effects to give to them."

"FLOWER!"

Perhaps Xiaoying had taken Wang Changsheng's earlier suggestion to heart.

She also adds a special effect when using the flower cards.

I just don't know if it will work.

However, as Xiao Wang said, since trying it won't hurt, it's a win-win situation.

Sakura lowered her voice to a whisper, and the moment she finished speaking, the flower card seemed to understand its owner's wishes. Although it shone with a little light, it was very dim and inconspicuous in the grass.

Those faint lights symbolized the magic of the cards; they gradually detached from the cards and drifted through the void to the tops of Sonomi and Fujitaka's heads.

The light faded, and in its place appeared two pure and unpretentious pink flowers.

Two flowers slowly fell from mid-air.

One flower landed in front of Sonoko, and the other landed in front of Fujitaka.

Both of them were somewhat bewildered by the situation.

The moment they saw the flowers, their initial feelings of irritability, resentment, or helplessness were miraculously soothed.

Both of them couldn't help but reach out and catch the pink flower.

Yuanmei held the flower in the palm of her hand.

Gazing at the beautiful flower in her hand, still emitting a faint fragrance, she couldn't help but drift into a daze.

"These are Nadeshiko's flowers..."

"That's right, it's cherry blossoms." Fujitaka nodded.

Holding the flowers in her hands, Yuanmei felt a sense of peace, perhaps because she was thinking of the person she once loved most.

Nadeshiko's smile was always the most healing thing for her.

A subtle, sweet smile appeared on Yuanmei's lips.

She held the flowers in her palms and gently pressed them against her cheeks.

The look of longing on his face was almost overflowing.

"In the past, every time I saw you, I would grab you and start a fight. But every time we argued, Nadeshiko would appear in time, and she would always have that gentle smile on her face, stopping our argument."

"As long as she stands in front of me and I see her angelic smile, no matter how angry I am or how much I resent you, the fire in my heart will be extinguished."

"She's so stupid, so stupid to have ended up with you, this natural scatterbrain..."

Yuanmei's words were filled with emotion and nostalgia.

The cherry blossoms in her hand seemed to be the smile of Nadeshiko.

She held the cherry blossom as if she were holding Nadeshiko's hands.

"She's a little absent-minded."

As Fujitaka gently cradled the cherry blossom in one hand, the image of Nadeshiko's radiant smile involuntarily came to mind.

He is always kind to others and often has a gentle smile on his lips, which is what Nadeshiko taught him.

He also promised him that no matter what situation or difficulty he faced in the future, he would face it with a gentle smile.

"From childhood to adulthood, my favorite character has always been the Nadeshiko..."

As Sonomi recalled the beautiful moments she and Nadeshiko had shared, her head drooped slightly, and the wine-red strands of hair on her forehead obscured her eyes.

However, the tears welling up in her eyes fell like beads from a broken string, and coupled with her trembling body, anyone could see that this seemingly very strong woman was crying at this moment.

Fujitaka considerately took out a handkerchief that he kept close to his body and placed it in front of her: "Everyone knows how much you like Nadeshiko, and I know just as well how much Nadeshiko likes you."

"But..." Sonomi didn't stand on ceremony, took Fujitaka's handkerchief and wiped her tears, then said with a sob, "After Nadeshiko left her family and was with you, even after you got married, I secretly came to see her a few times, and she seemed really happy."

"I thought she would be unhappy, but every time I come, I see the happiest smile on her face, which makes me very happy."

"I just never imagined that I could finally relax and see her continue living happily, before she passed away!"

At this point, Yuanmei broke down in tears again, and they couldn't hold back any longer.

After listening to Sonomi's story, Fujitaka remained silent for a long time. Finally, he lifted his foot, slowly walked forward, reached out, and placed the flower he was carefully holding in Sonomi's hand. He then gently gave her a hug.

"Over the years, I know you've all been unhappy."

"That's enough (sorry)."
