Chapter 256: Can you carve out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment out of cheese in your hous
Chapter 249 Cheese, can you carve out a three-bedroom apartment in your house?
"Nani kore..."
Sakura stared blankly at the content on the big screen.
The screen was showing Sakura fighting with the Clow Cards.
It might not even count as a fight.
After all, Sakura in the picture is being frantically attacked by countless rushing water currents.
The water streaks shot out wildly, and even without actually experiencing it, just looking at the scene, one could feel the rage of the sea.
At this moment, Tomoyo turned to look at Wang Changsheng and Sakura: "I wasn't with you when we retrieved the water card last time, but I often watch the videos Changsheng gave me at home. Why do I feel like this card looked really angry when it was chasing you? That can't be just my imagination, right?"
"Haha~" Hearing Zhi Shi's question, Wang Changsheng laughed awkwardly twice, "Maybe it was a little unhappy that we found it in the dark, and felt that we disturbed its rest."
Wang Changsheng made up an excuse.
He really wanted to tell Tomoyo something.
Tomoyo, asking every question will only hurt you.
"Well then, okay, it seemed quite... spirited when it was sealed away." Tomoyo nodded.
Wang Changsheng forced himself to keep his lips from twitching.
"Full of vigor? Tomoyo-chan, are you sure you're describing Shui-jie back then?" Wang Changsheng couldn't help but recall Shui-jie's ferocious appearance after she was frozen, which was even more ferocious than the most ferocious beast statue.
Although he found Tomoyo's strange description baffling, Wang Changsheng resisted the urge to have a friendly conversation with her, and simply muttered a few words to himself.
"Look, Sakura looks so cute when she's scared." Suddenly, Tomoyo pressed the remote control, and the image was precisely frozen on Sakura's terrified expression.
She seemed to know perfectly well that Sakura would make that expression the next second, so she paused very precisely.
It was precisely the fear on Sakura's face that reached its peak.
Clearly, Tomoyo has probably watched this film countless times.
Wang Changsheng even suspected that she had memorized every minute detail of every video recording.
"ヽ(*。>Д<)o゜ Tomoyo, turn it off quickly!" Looking at the big screen, where her face almost completely covered the entire frame, Sakura's cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.
Or rather, it turned completely red, like a ripe buttock—no, an apple.
How can such an ugly expression be cute?
Tomoyo is talking nonsense again, sob sob~
Sakura clung to Tomoyo's arm, sobbing.
"How can it not be cute? I think it's cute!" Tomoyo was being shaken by Sakura, but the remote control in her hand showed no sign of stopping.
She even pressed the play button.
The images on the screen immediately began to scroll.
Immediately following was a gasp from Sakura.
She was nearly hit by a jet of water, screaming as she rode her flying staff, spinning around in mid-air.
After all, she had only recently acquired the Clow Cards and was not yet very skilled at using them, appearing somewhat rusty. The fact that she wasn't knocked down during such a fierce chase was already a remarkable achievement.
Of course, Wang Changsheng's help to Sakura was partly to blame, but it is undeniable that Sakura has a great talent for controlling magic.
"(???) Haha, Sakura's screaming in fright is also very cute~" Tomoyo's expression was quite intoxicated. She held Sakura's hand in one hand and the remote control in the other, using one end of the remote control to press against her chin.
"Tomoyo, stop talking." Sakura looked calm, or rather, resigned. She pressed Tomoyo's hand, signaling her to stop talking, and then pulled her out of the room.
Wang Changsheng suppressed a laugh and followed behind the two of them.
"Hey, it's not over yet, what are you guys doing going out?" Kero was still flapping his wings, wanting to watch a little longer, but Sakura grabbed him by the neck with lightning speed.
"Get out." Sakura squeezed out the two words through gritted teeth, her face flushed red.
Seeing that things were going badly, and with Xiaoying holding him in her hand, Xiao immediately fell silent.
Wang Changsheng noticed that the tuft of hair on Xiaoying's head, as it swayed slightly, seemed to be constantly releasing a pale white stream of air, like smoke.
It's quite obvious that Sakura's toes are probably gripping the soles of her shoes so tightly that she'd practically dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the floor.
Seeing him so shy as he admired her handsome figure up close, Wang Changsheng spoke up to break the awkward silence: "Um, Tomoyo-chan, why did you call the two of us over, and even bring Xiao Ke along? What kind of trouble did you run into? It seems so difficult."
Upon hearing Wang Changsheng's words, Zhi Shi turned around and pressed the remote control in her hand while facing the large screen in the room.
Sakura's screams abruptly stopped.
Sakura, who was almost fainting, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She touched her flushed cheeks, lowered her head slightly, and secretly glanced at Wang Changsheng with her large, dark green eyes.
There was a mix of gratitude and embarrassment in their voices.
She was grateful because Wang Changsheng had helped her out of that predicament.
Unfortunately, although Wang Changsheng was by her side at the time, he had already seen and experienced everything up close.
But when this is recorded and projected onto a big screen and played in public, what is shown is still one's own ugly photos and dark history.
Which social media mogul can ignore this kind of psychological attack and stand tall in place?
Especially since someone you like is standing right next to you, watching your embarrassing past together...
Although Wang Changsheng was also present to see her performance, the environment and circumstances at the time were very consistent with the state she was in, and it didn't seem out of place at all.
Now no one's biting them indiscriminately anymore.
The three of them stood quietly in front of the big screen, and the sense of incongruity instantly exploded exponentially.
"Here it is, come here." Tomoyo led Wang Changsheng and Sakura back to her bedroom.
There were many finished or semi-finished garments on the sofa, bed, and many tables, some of which were obviously freshly cut.
Clearly, these were all clothes that Tomoyo sewed herself, and it goes without saying who they were made for.
"Something's bothering me; something I have is malfunctioning..."
Tomoyo casually picked up a pre-cut piece of clothing and held it up to Sakura, intending to explain it to the two of them in detail.
However, at that moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately following was a loud knock on the door.
"Tomoyo, are you inside?"
The voice sounded somewhat muffled through the door, but it was still easy to recognize that it was Tomoyo's mother's voice.
"Yes, I am," Tomoyo replied sweetly, gesturing with her eyes for Kero to hide quickly.
Xiao Ke understood immediately, looked left and right, and then buried herself in a pile of clothes on the sofa.
The fabrics were all colorful, and Xiao Ke's yellowish figure hid perfectly among them, completely undetectable.
"I'm coming in now," Sonomi's voice came from outside the door.
"Okay, please come in."
"click"
As Tomoyo finished speaking, the door was immediately flung open by Sonomi.
Then, Yuanmei, with short, wine-red hair, appeared in front of them.
He looked like he had rushed over in a hurry, and was slightly out of breath.
She patted her chest, then exhaled a breath of stale air: "I'm not late, am I?"
"Of course not, Mom." Compared to Sonomi's decisiveness and heroic spirit, Tomoyo's temperament is more like Nadeshiko's. She is poised and elegant, with the air of a well-bred lady. Her answer is sweet and charming, yet neither humble nor arrogant.
Perhaps this is why Sonomi deliberately cultivated Tomoyo's talents in this area from a young age.
But Tomoyo is different from Nadeshiko.
She's nothing like Sakura's mom, who's prone to making mistakes.
However, they are all equally opinionated.
It has to be said that when Wang Changsheng watched the anime before, he always felt that Tomoyo's mother should be Nadeshiko, and Sonomi's daughter should be Sakura.
Their personalities are so similar.
Sakura is just as lively, bright, and cheerful as Sonomi was when she was little.
However, it may also be because Sonoko has liked Nadeshiko since she was a child, which has added a touch of toughness and domineering to her cheerful personality.
After all, if she didn't do this, countless men would approach her Nadeshiko; she couldn't possibly keep up with them all.
"That's good, that's good." Yuan Mei breathed a sigh of relief; her slightly disordered breathing had now calmed down considerably.
"Hello," Xiaoying and Wang Changsheng greeted each other politely.
Sakura was still thinking how lucky it was that Xiao Wang had helped stop Tomoyo from continuing to play her videotape; otherwise, if Tomoyo's mother had seen it, it would have been impossible to explain.
I'll have to ask Xiao Wang for help...
Sakura could already picture Wang Changsheng using a spell to knock out Tomoyo's mother.
"But this kind of magic seems really convenient. It can knock the other person unconscious in an instant." Sakura thought Wang Changsheng's magic was quite useful.
"My classmate Xiao Wang mentioned there's some kind of magic called Avada Kedavra. I wonder how powerful it is; it sounds really scary..."
Sakura started daydreaming in her mind again.
At this moment, Zhi Shi's mother nodded repeatedly, and then walked over to the children: "Hello, hello. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. I heard that you brought a lot of gifts, Chang Sheng. I'm really sorry."
"Not at all..." Wang Changsheng was taken aback when Zhi Shi's mother suddenly apologized to him. He then waved his hands repeatedly, "It's just some food, not much, just a small token of my appreciation."
"Just a little?" Sonoko blinked.
How come the servants said it sounded like a truckload?
Even if you move them down, you could fill a whole table and still not have enough room.
However, upon further reflection, she realized that it was unlikely that a child like Wang Changsheng would actually bring so many gifts.
Perhaps the maid in charge of packing was trying to convey that compared to a child like Wang Changsheng, he had brought a lot of things.
Besides, she was the one who packed it up, and she put in the effort, so it's normal for her to feel that there was a lot of stuff.
Yuanmei didn't think much of it, nodded to Wang Changsheng, and then turned her gaze to the person she cared about most.
She squatted down and ruffled Sakura's hair.
"I heard you got home, so I rushed over, interrupting my meeting. I don't have much time to stay. If you don't mind, how about we go to the courtyard over there for a chat, some tea, and a piece of cake? What do you think?"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content!
Yuanmei smiled and said to the children.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to eat something.
She was in such a rush to leave in the morning that she only drank a glass of milk.
Now, those attending the meeting are given a break to eat and rest.
In other words, the meeting that followed her return could be described as protracted.
There's definitely no time for lunch.
"A cake?" Sakura's dark green eyes glanced involuntarily at Tomoyo's sofa.
Sure enough, out of the corner of her eye, she saw two tiny black dots peeking out from the pile of clothes; they were Xiao Ke's eyes.
It could vaguely sense a hint of resentment in those eyes.
Sakura quickly looked away.
If they go to eat cake and leave Xiao Ke here alone, he'll definitely get angry when they come back.
However, Sakura said she simply couldn't refuse her elders' invitation.
After all, they put their work aside to come here...
Even if it were just an invitation from an elder, or even from a close friend who dropped everything to come and keep her company, Xiaoying wouldn't tolerate refusing such a small request.
Under Keroberos's watchful gaze, Sakura reluctantly agreed, "Of course, no problem. I'm very grateful for your invitation."
"!!!"
The little creature, which was hiding in the pile of clothes, almost couldn't hold it in any longer and flapped its wings to rush out and dart in front of the group.
No!
cake!
I want to eat it too!
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Tomoyo's mother seemed very happy. She grabbed Sakura with one hand and held her daughter's hand with the other, then strode towards the door.
Wang Changsheng naturally didn't get the treatment of holding hands, nor could he cling to Zhi Shi's mother's leg; he could only walk quietly behind them.
However, before leaving Tomoyo's bedroom, he quietly left a few small pieces of bread behind.
Xiao Ke, that petty little thing, had been watching them the whole time, so Wang Changsheng knew that it would definitely see his movements.
After closing the door, Wang Changsheng followed Zhi Shi and the others, walking forward.
Just then, a maid carrying a tray walked towards them.
There were also four cups of steaming tea on the plate.
No, it's more accurate to say that it was four pots of tea than four cups of tea.
It seems that the cups from the Zhishi family are priced by the pot.
