Chapter 368
Little Wang... What do you mean by bringing the Zhang family along? Ugh!
Chapter 370 Little Wang... What do you mean by bringing it home? Ugh!
"Sakura-chan, Kero is a big kid now, and it's perfectly normal for him to want his own private space. Of course, I'm not saying that it's right for him to modify it without consulting you. I'm definitely on your side, Sakura."
.
"What I want to say is that when we express something, it's best to put ourselves in the other person's shoes first. If we feel that we deserve to die from their perspective, then it's not too late to insult them, and we can even use some extreme measures."
"As the saying goes, 'I examine myself three times a day,' I also find mistakes in others. What do you think?"
Yuzhi Elementary School.
Lunch break.
Beside the fountain pool.
Wang Changsheng sat next to Xiaoying, patiently trying to persuade her and resolve the conflict between Xiaoying and Xiaoke.
But only after he finished speaking.
Not only Sakura, but even Tomoyo's lips twitched.
[Message]: Sakura Kinomoto's negative points +1000
Sakura gave an awkward smile: "Well, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but even though Keroberos and I had a fight, there's no need to insult it—and what about those even more extreme methods—"
"(UU) Isn't this a bit too... too extreme?"
Sakura stammered as she spoke to Wang Changsheng.
Tomoyo chuckled twice and then nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chōsei-kun, it's really just a misunderstanding. If Kero and Sakura had both taken a step back, the argument wouldn't have escalated to this point."
Seeing that Xiaoying no longer looked troubled, Wang Changsheng chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, I overcomplicated things."
"Are you overcomplicating things? — This is Xiao Wang trying to find a new way to scold Xiao Ke, isn't it?" Xiao Ying opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She could only maintain a slightly stiff smile, and then chuckled awkwardly.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes—"
The atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Sakura also sighed.
"I thought about it later, and I know that Xiao Ke is now very concerned about her privacy. I really shouldn't have hit her directly back then."
Sakura sat on the platform of the fountain pool that wasn't in operation, pouting, her green eyes closed, her two small hands supporting her chin.
She heard half of what Wang Changsheng said earlier.
I examine myself three times a day.
That's all for now.
"I don't think Kero took everything out of your drawer on purpose, Sakura. You said you had an argument before going to bed, and it did these things at night. I think Kero probably thought about telling you, but didn't want to wake you up."
Tomoyo stood on Sakura's other side, also comforting Sakura.
"However, what Xiao Ke did was indeed a bit excessive. Why don't we wait until after school, Sakura, and you just ask it directly and talk things out? If there's a misunderstanding, we can explain it. If there isn't, we can sit down calmly and see what the problem is."
After hearing Tomoyo's words, Sakura remained silent for a moment, then nodded and made a soft "hmm" sound.
"Yes, yes, what Tomoyo said makes sense, but the fact that Kero was angry with you like that after he went back yesterday makes me think there's another possibility."
Seeing that Sakura seemed somewhat relieved, Wang Changsheng stroked his chin.
Seeing him deep in thought again, Sakura felt a sense of foreboding.
She was about to interrupt Wang Changsheng and quickly change the subject, but he had already spoken—
"Do you think Kero is angry because Syaoran took one of the Clow Cards yesterday, and he's upset that Sakura didn't do well enough? Losing to Syaoran made him lose face, and that's why he's so angry."
Wang Changsheng looked deep in thought.
Sakura almost fainted after hearing this.
Wasn't this supposed to be resolving the conflict between me and Xiao Ke? Why are you suddenly starting to sow discord?
—(o.0」∠)—I'm dizzy.
[Message]: Your friendly interaction made Sakura's vision go black; you are a truly compassionate person~
[Message]: You have obtained the magical species, the Little Wood Elf!
[Message]: This species has been included in the All-Heavens Friendly Exchange Shop, priced at 10000 Negative Points/each. [Little Wood Elf]: A darling of nature, a spirit of life, capable of achieving a certain degree of healing effect, and in the area where it is located, life will gradually become more vigorous, and plants will grow stronger because of their presence.
"A little wood elf?"
After glancing at the system notification, Wang Changsheng realized that the reward could be used for jobs like gardening.
They were only about the size of a palm, not the real humanoid wood spirits.
"No wonder it's tiny. I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to get a real Pokémon. Oh well, I'll just buy four and put them in the World Tree space."
Wang Changsheng spent 40,000 negative points, plus the one rewarded by the system, making a total of five, and threw them all into the World Tree.
However, he did not throw him into the Forest of Life.
After all, it is a divine forest.
The vitality here is already abundant enough.
These little wood elves are not needed to add to the beauty.
On the contrary, in some more remote places that have not yet been nourished by the Forest of Life, these little elves are more useful.
"It's just a bit too expensive, costing ten thousand each." Wang Changsheng only hoped that these little elves could reproduce on their own.
Otherwise, if he wanted to spread them throughout the entire World Tree space, the few negative points that Wang Changsheng had painstakingly accumulated would be far from enough.
Still not wealthy enough.
"Even if they could reproduce on their own, whether they are great elves or small elves, as long-lived species, it probably wouldn't be easy for them—sigh!"
Shaking his head, Wang Changsheng looked at Xiaoying and saw that she still looked a little dazed, so he couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I was just joking. Even though Keroberos is a bit of an idiot, it wouldn't be so idiotic as to have such thoughts."
Wang Changsheng reached out and ruffled Xiaoying's hair, pressing her ahoge (cowlick) into his palm and kneading it at will.
"Of course, maybe Xiao Ke is blaming herself for not going to the cultural festival with us yesterday, and that she couldn't help at all, so she's feeling bad about herself and that's why she's angry."
"Huh?"
Sakura was completely bewildered by Wang Changsheng's explanation.
"Is that...because of that?"
"It's not impossible," Wang Changsheng shrugged. "When we think about problems, we need to be more multifaceted and consider all aspects as thoroughly as possible."
"I don't quite understand what you're saying, but it seems to make a lot of sense." Sakura blinked.
"Alright, are you still angry now?" Wang Changsheng looked at her gently, his affectionate eyes making Xiaoying blush slightly.
"I'm not really angry anymore, it's just—" Sakura leaned closer to Wang Changsheng.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Wang Changsheng continued to ask softly.
Sakura pouted and exhaled, her lips making a popping sound.
"But Little Ke actually called me a monster! I was so angry! How am I similar to a monster? Monsters are scary, okay? Do I look scary?"
Sakura's two big eyes looked wet and dewy, just like a little deer living in the fairy forest.
This has absolutely no connection to the word "monster" that she mentioned.
Wang Changsheng patted Xiaoying's hand: "What are you saying, Xiaoying? You're so cute. If I had a monster as cute as you, I would definitely take it home and raise it properly."
"(②3) Little Wang — Oh, come on, what do you mean by bringing it home or not —"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoying's face flushed considerably, and she took the opportunity to swing her little fist, lightly punching Wang Changsheng's arm.
It's just different from Sakura's shyness.
Zhi Shi seemed to strongly agree with Wang Changsheng's statement.
She nodded repeatedly, her hand touching her left cheek, which flushed crimson.
"Chang Sheng is absolutely right. If there really were monsters as cute as you, Sakura, I would love them too."
The blush on Tomoyo's face looked a little abnormal.
"∫*一)/If I could bring one home————that would be even better, hehehe~"
Wang Changsheng looked at Zhi Shi's expression and pursed his lips.
What are you blushing about?
It's also because his imagination is truly lacking, making it difficult for him to empathize with Tomoyo.
What he just said was simply the literal meaning.
If there really were monsters as cute as Sakura, he would consider bringing them back and keeping them in the World Tree space.
If you raise it well and Sakura likes it, you can give it to her as a pet.
However, Tomoyo's meaning is—
Wang Changsheng couldn't help but feel that what she said was not as simple as it seemed.
"It's really hard to imagine what kind of bizarre images are flashing through Tomoyo's mind right now."
Wang Changsheng rubbed his forehead, while Xiaoying smiled and chuckled beside him.
"Alright, class is about to start soon, let's go." Wang Changsheng took Xiaoying's hand and stood up from the fountain platform.
"Okay, sure!" Xiaoying nodded and stood up with Wang Changsheng.
The two turned around and found that Tomoyo seemed to be still immersed in some inexplicable fantasy.
Wang Changsheng took a deep breath.
"Tomoyo, let's go back to the classroom!"
"Oh? Oh~"
Tomoyo finally came to her senses and followed behind Wang Changsheng and Sakura.
But looking at her lips that couldn't be suppressed into a smile...
Wang Changsheng knew that the director was definitely coming up with some strange plot in his head again.
There aren't many classes in the afternoon.
I just got back from vacation.
Therefore, in order to help students readjust to school, the teacher did not immediately cover too many worldly knowledge points during class.
Instead, they'll play some mini-games or tell stories to pass the time.
That's why the afternoon class ended so quickly.
After school, Wang Changsheng and Zhi Shi did not suggest going home with Xiaoying.
Firstly, it was almost dinnertime, and their unannounced visit without prior notice meant that Sakura's family might not have prepared enough food.
It would be impolite to trouble them to prepare food for them.
Secondly, it's also because this argument was ultimately between Sakura and Kero.
And to be honest, the argument between the two wasn't actually that serious.
At most, it's just a loud bickering.
Wang Changsheng and Zhishi also spent a day helping Xiaoying understand the key points.
After a whole day, Xiao Ke has probably come to her senses.
As long as Sakura gives Kero some good food and says a few nice words to him when they get back, that will be enough.
It's perfectly normal for the two to reconcile.
After all, in this world, no relationship, whether it's family, friendship, or love, is possible without any arguments or constant harmony.
Unless you don't care about the other person at all.
Obviously, this doesn't apply to Sakura and Kero.
Therefore, Wang Changsheng did not choose to go to Xiaoying's house to persuade Xiaoke again.
If this guy still stubbornly refuses to listen to reason, Wang Changsheng can just go over and beat him up.
There's no way to persuade someone not to do it, no matter how kindly you try.
Then let's say the truth comes out through the stick.
Give Xiao Ke a good beating and see if it dares to call his Sakura a monster again.
After the three separated.
Sakura slowly and deliberately arrived at her doorstep on her roller skates.
She was a little unsure what to say as the first thing when she saw Xiao Ke.
"Shouldn't you start by saying, 'Xiao Ke, do you know you were wrong?' Doesn't that seem too forceful?"
Sakura was a little conflicted.
So I walked very slowly on my way home.
That's all there is to it.
Whether it's fast or slow, we'll eventually get there.
What you have to face, you can't avoid; otherwise, this trouble will come back to haunt you a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
"What Xiao Wang said makes a lot of sense. Oh well, I didn't leave any food for Xiao Ke this morning. It definitely won't be full if it only eats snacks. I'd better go and make it something to eat first."
Sakura sighed, then changed out of her roller skates in front of the door, put on slippers, and went inside.
"what?"
She had only taken two steps when she turned around and saw that her living room looked like it had been robbed.
It was a complete mess.
Disorganized and chaotic.
On the floor, on the sofa, on the coffee table.
They were all fragments of gold and silver tin foil.
There were also empty boxes and parcel packaging paper torn into several large pieces.
"What's going on here—"
Sakura stood there, stunned.
But she quickly realized, "Could this have been done by Xiao Ke?"
I walked into the living room and squatted down.
Sakura picked up the empty box from the ground.
"The chocolate flavor must have been eaten by Xiao Ke!"
Sakura twitched her little nose twice, smelling the faint scent of chocolate in the air, and instantly identified the culprit behind it all.
It is absolutely no small matter.
After all, in this house, no one else would leave food packaging so badly.
"Honestly, they just throw their food away like that." Sakura sighed helplessly.
Pick up the lid from the sofa.
I saw the cover.
Sakura was stunned again.
"Alcoholic chocolate?"
At that moment, Sakura felt a sense of foreboding.
