Chapter 371 Xiao Ke was picked up after drinking fake alcohol

"Will there be any problem if Xiao Ke finishes all these alcoholic chocolates?"

Sakura was a little worried.

After all, I've never given Xiao Ke any alcohol before.

Sakura wasn't sure if it would cause any trouble after being shown off so much this time.

"But the house is so quiet, it looks like Xiao Ke just went upstairs to sleep."

Sakura tilted her head back and looked up at the building.

"Huh? Why is the window open?"

Turning around, Sakura suddenly noticed that the kitchen window was wide open.

Standing here, Sakura could even feel the gentle breeze brushing against her face.

"Did my brother or dad forget to turn it off?" Sakura tilted her head.

She first went into the kitchen and closed the window.

Then he returned to the living room, looked at the mess on the floor, and sighed softly in helplessness.

I turned to look at the schedule calendar on the whiteboard next to me and checked the time on the clock again.

Realizing that her father and brother should be arriving home soon, she bent down and began cleaning up the mess Xiao Ke had created.

"Xiao Ke has made such a mess; we can't let Dad and the others see it when they come back."

Sakura thought of her older brother's face that morning.

His fist hardened again.

"I was so angry this morning that I didn't want to talk to him at all. If he sees this trash, he'll definitely scold me again, humph."

After packing everything up, she threw the foil scraps and boxes into the trash can outside, then turned around and went back inside to take out some ingredients from the refrigerator.

The ingredients in the refrigerator were all prepared yesterday.

The portion was just enough for their family to have dinner, plus breakfast the next morning and a lunchbox for lunch.

"Chop these vegetables, then we can start cooking as soon as Dad gets here."

"7

Sakura prepared all the ingredients one by one.

Thaw if necessary.

All the ingredients that need to be washed and cut into pieces have been prepared.

After everything was mostly tidied up, the door opened.

"I'm back."

Fujitaka arrived at home first.

He is, after all, a university teacher; sometimes he is very busy, and sometimes he is quite free.

There's nothing else to do; he can go home after class.

After putting down what I was holding and changing my clothes,

Upon entering the house, Fujitaka saw the kitchen counter with all the ingredients neatly prepared, and he gently raised the corners of his mouth.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sakura. You did a great job." He patted Sakura's head.

"It's alright, Uncle, it's not tiring." Sakura rubbed against her father's large hand, then shook her head with a grin.

"Alright, let me take over now. Sakura, you can go and rest for a while. Dinner will be served soon." Fujitaka turned around and washed his hands in the sink, speaking gently to Sakura.

"Let me help Dad, it'll be much faster that way!" Sakura didn't want to rest on the sidelines and let her father do the work himself.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Fujitaka thought for a moment, then nodded gently instead of refusing.

The father and daughter divided the work and worked together.

The food was cooked very quickly.

Just as things were almost over, Touya returned.

"click"

As the door opened and closed, a tall and imposing figure appeared.

"I'm back."

Touya first ran to the dining table and put down the bag of groceries he was carrying, then returned to the living room and threw his schoolbag on the sofa.

He then went to wash his hands before returning to the dining table, quietly watching his father and sister work efficiently in the not-so-spacious space.

"It looks delicious."

Touya waited a moment, and then Sakura brought two plates to the table and placed them on it.

He took a sniff and immediately smelled the fragrance.

Seeing that Sakura had also gone to wash her hands, Touya glanced at her discreetly when she returned.

Seeing that Sakura seemed to have returned to normal, he looked away.

"That brat, I don't know what happened this morning that made her so angry, but she seems to be fine now. She must have been comforted by her friends at school."

Go to the stove in the kitchen and take the remaining plates to the dining table.

The family of three began to eat.

Touya felt like he'd barely settled in when Sakura had already finished showing off the rice in her bowl.

"I'm stuffed."

"Um?"

Touya was taken aback and looked at Sakura with a strange expression.

This girl is so ruthless—doesn't she even know how to chew her food?

However, Sakura did not answer his question; she simply put down the pink bowl and chopsticks in her hands.

Sakura pushed back her stool and stood up, preparing to put her chopsticks and bowl in the sink, when Fujitaka suddenly opened fire.

"There's one more thing, Sakura-chan."

"Huh? What's wrong, old man?"

Sakura held the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and turned her head to look at her father.

Fujitaka thought for a moment, then asked, "You came back early, did you see a package at home?"

"A package?" Sakura was stunned, and her mind immediately went to the scraps she had just thrown into the trash can outside.

"Yes." Fujitaka nodded. "It was a bag of chocolates that someone from school sent me, but I don't think I saw it when I came back."

", ②? Oh, I see————"

Sakura walked with somewhat stiff steps to the sink and placed the used tableware inside.

"I didn't notice it much, I'm not really sure."

Sakura didn't tell the whole truth, but she didn't lie either.

First of all, she didn't notice any package.

Because when she returned, the package was already a pile of fragments.

Secondly, she really wasn't very clear about it.

After all, she hadn't actually confirmed with Xiao Ke whether it had eaten the contents of the package.

"So I'm not lying to Dad, no, no, no."

Sakura was brainwashing herself.

"You haven't seen it either? Perhaps it hasn't been delivered yet? That's strange."

Fujitaka touched his chin, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"What package? What chocolate?" Touya had no idea about this. He slowly ate a small yellow croaker and looked up at his father to ask.

"That's a box of liqueur-filled chocolates. I heard it's a new design that another college specially developed and was planning to apply for permission to sell. I happen to have a friend who helped out there, so they sent me a box to try."

Fujitaka replied, "The alcohol concentration in that chocolate is a bit high. You're all too young to eat it, especially Sakura."

"Dad—" Touya said helplessly, seeing that his father still treated him like a child. "I'm almost an adult. It's just chocolate, you can eat it."

Seeing that the conversation seemed set to continue, Sakura quickly slipped away.

"I'll go back upstairs now, finish my homework, wash up, and then go to bed."

Fujitaka stopped talking and nodded slightly to Sakura: "Okay, goodnight in advance."

"Goodnight, Daddy," Sakura replied, then quickly ran back upstairs.

After Sakura left, Fujitaka shook his head: "I wonder where that package went."

"Could it have been delivered to the wrong address?" Touya turned back after watching Sakura leave.

"Maybe," Fujitaka sighed.

"Actually, the reason I didn't let you eat it wasn't because the alcohol content was high, but because my friend told me that it seems like they sent me the wrong package."

"The alcohol in the sample he sent was counterfeit, which is why I thought of sending it back after I received it."

"Huh?" Touya exclaimed in shock.

"That naughty little Ke actually ate all the food that Dad's friend sent. Luckily, Dad didn't ask me about it."

Sakura breathed a sigh of relief after rushing upstairs.

As Sakura stood before her bedroom door, she couldn't help but mentally complain about Kero.

"I must talk about it properly later!"

Having made up her mind to go inside, Sakura didn't see Kero-chan. Instead, she found an open notebook on her desk.

"Idiot Sakura?" Sakura frowned slightly as she looked at the four large words on her notebook.

This was obviously done by Xiao Ke. Perhaps he used too much force with the last stroke, leaving a long scratch on the table.

And that's not all. Kero even drew an ugly-looking pig's head in his notebook and marked it with an arrow pointing to Sakura's name.

Sakura was so angry at the scene before her that she almost fainted.

"Xiao Ke————" She ground her little tiger teeth.

"Where have you been hiding again? You brat, come out here right now! How could you write about me like that in your notebook, and draw a pig on it! And you even got such a thick marker on the table!"

Sakura began rummaging through drawers and cabinets, searching for Kero's figure.

After searching several times, I still couldn't find the other person.

Unwilling to give up, she went downstairs and searched several times.

Sakura couldn't find Kero even after she had used up all the excuses she could think of.

Her intuition told her that the other person was no longer at home.

"Has Xiao Ke run away from home?"

Back in her bedroom, Sakura sat dejectedly on the bed, looking somewhat dazed.

"How could this happen—"

Sakura never expected that Kero would run away from home.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Sakura felt that this really suited Kero's personality and style.

It is entirely possible for it to do something so outrageous—

"Should I ask Xiao Wang and Zhi Shi for help?" Sakura asked, looking conflicted.

Sakura wasn't quite sure if Kero had really run away from home.

Or did it just throw a tantrum and run off to play by itself?

Without confirming this, Xiaoying didn't want to trouble Wang Changsheng and the others.

What if you just called someone out to look for it with you, and then Xiao Ke ran home by herself?

Sakura's expression showed slight anxiety, but she was helpless at the moment and decided to wait until the next night.

If there's still no news from Xiao Ke by tomorrow, she'll ask her good friends for help.

"Xiao Ke isn't without autonomy, and it can fly, so it should be fine, right?"

Night falls.

The moonlight was hazy and dim.

The horizon seemed veiled by a thin mist.

It makes it difficult to see clearly.

On an unnamed street.

In front of a shop with its roller shutter door down.

A yellowish-brown mouse with wings and a large head, its face flushed red, was flying unsteadily in mid-air, its two small eyes looking hazy and unfocused.

It yelled at the large red crocodile displayed to one side of the shop entrance, "Do you even know who I am? Let me tell you, I am the legendary sealing guardian beast—Cerberus!"

"I have always been guarding that magic book!"

As Xiao Ke was talking, he suddenly let out a hiccup.

"Hiccup~"

Xiao Ke sniffed, looking all wronged.

"Do you know what? To protect that book, I've been working tirelessly through wind and rain, thunder and lightning. It's been really hard work!"

Xiao Ke had already grabbed the crocodile's mouth that was standing in front of the store.

The more it poured out its heart, the more aggrieved it felt, and it even shed tears.

It would cry for a while, then burst into laughter while crying, acting like a madman.

"Waaaaah!"

"Hahaha!"

"Everyone hates me, and now only you, old man, are willing to listen to me here—"

Xiao Ke's voice isn't quiet.

Fortunately, it's located on a commercial street.

Therefore, no one was bothered by its noise.

I'm tired.

As Xiao Ke cried, it smacked its lips, sniffled twice, and then flew to the head of the red crocodile and climbed down.

It rubbed against the other person's head, smearing all its snot onto the top of their head.

"Ah~ Ha!"

Xiao Ke yawned and wiped his nose.

He then smeared the crocodile's ear with his other hand, and said in a dizzy voice, "My head feels so heavy, I really want to sleep."

""

"Uncle Crocodile, do you know where I can sleep around here?"

Xiao Ke flew to the mouth of the red crocodile and stared into its eyes.

Look in the direction the crocodile is looking.

Xiao Ke noticed that the old man was pointing in a certain direction.

"Hmm? Is this the way?"

Xiao Ke flew up, gently rubbing her sleepy and tired eyes.

"Thank you, old man with the red crocodile."

Xiao Ke sincerely thanked the doll that couldn't speak and always maintained the same posture, then flew in the direction it pointed out to her.

After flying for a distance...

We arrived at the fork in the road between the commercial street and the residential area.

There is a garbage dump here.

Next to the pile of garbage was a dilapidated sofa.

"Is this the place the old crocodile man was talking about?"

After Xiao Ke flew in, she found a cushion casually placed on the sofa.

It looks green and lush, but it's not very dirty.

"There's even a bed."

Xiao Ke wobbled and swayed in mid-air, looking like he might fall headfirst to the ground at any moment.

It wobbled and flew swiftly to the mat.

"Thank you so much, old man! I can go to sleep now~"

Xiao Ke stepped onto the mat, intending to lie down and fall asleep.

But when the evening breeze blew, a slight chill crept in.

Using what little reason he had left, he came up with a brilliant idea.

"I'll drill!"

Xiao Ke simply burrowed her tiny body under the green mat.

This is equivalent to using the cushion as a blanket.

"Wuhu~ It's so warm."

Xiao Ke was very satisfied.

It waved its little hand in the direction it came from.

"Old red crocodile, hello~"

The words fell.

Xiao Ke adjusted her posture and covered her head with the mat.

In this way, its whole body was enveloped in a warm feeling.

Goodnight.

It was almost as if she had just closed her eyes.

Xiao Ke then fell into a deep sleep.

There's nothing we can do about it.

It showed off all the high-concentration liqueur-filled chocolates in one go.

Let's not even talk about it; even adults have to eat it slowly.

It would be strange if he wasn't confused.

And so, that night...

Xiao Ke, in a daze, slept soundly all night under the aftereffects of the liqueur-filled chocolate.

Sakura, on the other hand, almost couldn't sleep in her room.

She was afraid that Xiao Ke would suddenly come back and she wouldn't notice.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, I opened the window. Although the wind was a little chilly, it would be convenient for Xiao Ke to come back and enter the room.

However, when the night passed...

The sun is rising.

Sakura still didn't wait for Kero.

After all, it was still fast asleep.

"Huh? What's this?"

Next to a garbage dump on a street.

A little girl in pink pajamas walked over here, dragging a heavy-looking garbage bag.

She seemed to struggle as she threw the garbage bag into the pile of trash.

Then I noticed that there seemed to be snoring coming from the sofa next to me.

It was still early.

There were hardly any people on the street.

The little girl couldn't resist her curiosity and peeked over to take a look.

Then I spotted Keroberos's tail, which was now lying outside the mat.

"What a strange little mouse! I've never seen one like it before."

The little girl grabbed Xiao Ke's tail and lifted it into the air.

Her expression was somewhat puzzled.

The little creature in my hand looks a bit like a mouse.

But that's clearly not the case.

Because in her memory, no mouse had such a round head.

There won't be anything like small wings.

"It's all dirty, could it be some kind of special kitten?"

The little girl discovered that even though she was holding the small creature upside down, it was still fast asleep, as if it had no idea that someone had caught it.

"What a strange little animal."

The little girl didn't seem to mind that Xiao Ke was dirty, and actually took it home with her.

He skillfully heats up a pot of water.

She poured some into the basin.

Then they brought some more cold water.

The little girl took out a towel and wet it.

Then he carefully wiped away the filth from Xiao Ke's body.

"All done washing."

After cleaning Xiao Ke's body, the little girl held it in her hands and smelled it.

"(*∩—∩*) Hehe, it smells nice."

She then took out the small bed that her dolls used.

The room was fully furnished with blankets, pillows, and other necessities; she had arranged everything herself.

"This little guy can sleep so much! Could she be the sloth Mom mentioned before?"

The little girl put Xiao Ke on the bed, covered it with a blanket, and saw that it was sleeping so soundly. She didn't disturb it, but went off to do her own things.

There seemed to be no one else in the house.

It seemed rather deserted.

The little girl appears to live alone.

This can be seen from the fact that she can take out the trash herself and boil water very skillfully.

After settling Xiao Ke in, she even made herself breakfast.

Until the sun was high in the sky.

Xiao Ke finally sobered up and had enough sleep.

It slowly awoke, and a delicate fragrance wafted to its nose first.
