SpongeBob's Spatula Next time, I hope you won't give me Patrick Star instead! I
Ding-dong-
"Here you are!"
When the bell rang, Sakura, who was preparing to cook, put down what she was holding and responded.
Wang Changsheng didn't have to wait long before Xiaoying appeared at the door.
Upon discovering that the visitor was Wang Changsheng, Xiaoying was momentarily stunned with surprise.
"Little Wang? What brings you here?"
Seeing Wang Changsheng standing outside the fence, Xiaoying ran over from the doorway.
"Hmm? Sakura?"
Wang Changsheng seemed quite surprised as he watched Xiaoying approach.
The show begins!
"This...this isn't your house, is it?" Wang Changsheng's expression looked somewhat blank.
"Yes." Sakura nodded gently.
"My uncle sent me to school here, saying he has a good friend named Fujitaka, and that I could visit him after I arrived. This is the address my uncle gave me, so I came here after school today. Mr. Fujitaka, could he be yours, Sakura?" Wang Changsheng paused here and did not continue.
"Yes! That's my dad!"
After hearing Wang Changsheng's explanation, Xiaoying seemed somewhat excited.
She pulled back the fence, and her large, dark green eyes, shining like jewels in the brilliant sunset, stared at Wang Changsheng.
"Your uncle actually knows my dad? What a coincidence!" Sakura's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. Not only do they know each other, but we're actually classmates." Wang Changsheng also looked surprised, as if he had never expected that Xiaoying would be the daughter of his uncle's friend.
"Sakura, is your father home now? I only arrived in Tomoeda Town yesterday, and it was already late, so I didn't come to bother your uncle. But as soon as I got out of school today, I came to find you." Wang Changsheng's voice rang out.
"Oh? My dad? Well, it's the new semester, and he's a university professor, so he'll probably be busy and won't be back until later. Why don't you come in? It's not appropriate for us to talk standing at the door."
Sakura, who was explaining to Wang Changsheng, suddenly realized something and quickly invited Wang Changsheng into the house.
"Oh dear, this isn't a good idea~"
As Wang Changsheng spoke, he stepped inside.

"Well"
Sakura was stunned when she saw Wang Changsheng walk straight in.
Wang Changsheng was also stunned when he saw the system's prompt.
What the heck? Even SpongeBob's spatula is out here?
Will the system reward him with Patrick Star someday?
He doesn't really like eating starfish!
(system:?)
As the two entered the house, Xiaoying planned to get Wang Changsheng a pudding from the refrigerator.
"I just checked today's schedule. Dad didn't specify what time he'd be back tonight, so it'll probably be very late. My brother has to go to work after school, so he probably won't be back until 7 or 8 pm."
As Sakura spoke, she went to the kitchen.
She was washing vegetables just now; she hasn't started cooking yet.
Therefore, there is still plenty of time to entertain guests.
"I really didn't expect this, Xiao Wang, it seems like we're destined to meet!" Xiao Ying said with a giggle.
"Thump"
However, just as she reached the refrigerator, she suddenly heard a somewhat indistinct strange noise.
"Hmm?" Sakura's hand paused.
She couldn't help but peek out from the kitchen and glance at Wang Changsheng.
Just then, he had successfully wrestled with his older brother's oversized slippers, and now, looking like a penguin, he was walking out of the entryway in slippers that were completely incompatible with his feet.
The sound just now didn't seem to have come from him.
"Strange," Sakura couldn't help but scratch her head, somewhat puzzled.
Did I hear wrong?
"Yes, we really are destined to meet. Not only did we happen to meet at the school gate, but we were also classmates and even sat at desks in front of and behind each other. Our parents are even good friends. This kind of fate is truly unparalleled." Wang Changsheng nodded, his voice coming from afar.
He shuffled along in Touya's little tiger slippers, walking with great difficulty, before responding.
It has to be said that Touya's feet are too big. Wearing these slippers makes him feel like a child struggling to lift a sledgehammer that is completely disproportionate to his size.
"That's not right either. I am indeed a child now." Wang Changsheng sighed and went to the living room to wait for Xiaoying.
Now that I've returned to my youth, I wonder when I'll be able to grow up again.
Wang Changsheng's voice interrupted Xiaoying's thoughts, bringing her back to her senses.
"Maybe I misheard."
Sakura turned around a little embarrassed, opened the refrigerator, and took out a pudding.
But just then, an even louder "thump" sounded again.
The sound was very clear this time, which sent a shiver down Sakura's spine.

"What? What's that sound?"
Sakura, holding the pudding, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"what!"
Suddenly, she felt as if something had bumped into her from behind, which startled her.
Sakura quickly turned around, only to find that the person standing behind her was Wang Changsheng.
The other person had silently appeared behind her and was now standing there; she had bumped into him earlier.
After calming her wildly beating heart, Sakura swallowed and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Uh, what's wrong?"
Seeing that Xiaoying seemed to have been frightened by him, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but twitch his lips, and then explained, "I was waiting for you in the living room, but then I heard some noise. I thought you had accidentally dropped something on the floor, so I came to see if you needed any help."
"No, it's nothing," Xiaoying quickly shook her head upon hearing Wang Changsheng's explanation.
She immediately placed the pudding on the table and then gradually moved closer to Wang Changsheng.
"So you heard that too? That strange sound? It wasn't me. I thought I must have misheard," Sakura explained, her voice unconsciously lowering.
She patted her chest and stood beside Wang Changsheng.
The strange and inexplicable sound suddenly rang out in her house, which frightened her somewhat.
"Could it be some kind of ghost?"
Sakura's heart trembled; she was most afraid of such mysterious things.
"Wait a minute, wasn't Xiao Wang just in the living room? How come he suddenly ran to the kitchen without making a sound?" Xiao Ying couldn't help but wonder.
However, it is clear that her brain circuits are different from others.
Upon thinking about this, Sakura's first reaction was—
Why is it that Xiao Wang walks silently, while I make a "tap tap tap" sound when I walk?
Could it be that I really did what Brother Baka said?
Am I a little monster?
Thinking of this, Sakura couldn't help but jump to another scene.
He transformed into a terrifying monster with bared fangs and claws, howling and breathing fire!
"No, no, no, Sakura isn't a monster!"
