Chapter 124: Not Even a Word Yet
In the end, Sakura still couldn't say what she wanted to say.

Because she had no chance to interrupt the two people who were talking excitedly, she could only watch from the side.

"Okay, okay, we can't talk any more. We're here to buy books. Let's discuss this in detail when we have time."

After a few minutes, Xia Yu suddenly stopped talking.

He felt that if they continued chatting like this, they would definitely keep talking and would then lose sight of time, which was not a good idea as it was precious time after school.

For students, time after school is as precious as time after get off work for office workers.

This is a rare time that belongs only to you, except for those who have to go to cram school after school or stay overtime after get off work.

"That's right. This isn't a library. Staying here all the time will only cause trouble to others."

Tomoyo also agreed. After all, a bookstore is not a library. One can stay in a library and read books all the time, but a bookstore is specifically for buying books.

"Then let's..."

Seeing that Tomoyo and Xia Yu had no intention of continuing the conversation, Sakura, who had been a little dizzy, came to her senses and looked at the two of them.

"Well, let's go, Sakura."

Tomoyo smiled slightly, picked up the book he had put down, and walked towards the counter.

Seeing this, Xiaoying and Xia Yu, who also picked up a book, followed.

As Sakura was walking towards the counter, a man who surprised her a little suddenly appeared. He arrived at the counter first and spoke to the bookstore staff.

"Hello, I'm here to pick up the reserved book."

"Okay, what's your name?"

"My last name is Kinomoto."

"Okay, this is the book you reserved, please keep it."

After checking the name of the person who made the reservation, the staff took out the book and handed it to "Kinomoto" who came to pick up the book.

"Brother Snow Rabbit."

"Hmm? Sakura."

Hearing the familiar shout, the person who took the book turned around and smiled slightly. He was "Kinomoto" who had just taken the book.

Looking at the snow rabbit who seemed to be smiling gently no matter when and where, Xia Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart. If he heard it correctly, the snow rabbit was saying that his last name was Kinomoto, right?
The couple hasn't even started to develop their marriage yet, but they've already started to use their husband's surname, right?

The so-called taking the husband's surname means that a woman no longer uses her original surname but her husband's surname after marriage. This is a product of patriarchal marriage, and has two basic forms: "husband's surname" and "husband's surname + original surname".

Although Japan's new "Civil Law" after World War II does not stipulate requirements for surnames after marriage, most Japanese women still follow this custom and take their husband's surname after marriage. Just like Sakura's mother changed her original surname Amamiya to Kinomoto after marrying her father.

So Tsukishiro Snow Rabbit can actually be called Kinomoto Snow Rabbit? After all, it has become a consensus that Snow Rabbit is the sister-in-law.

By the way, after Xiaoying and Xiaolang get married, Xiaoying can also be called Li Ying? Or the more vulgar Li Yinghua?

Although China does not have this custom now, Li Xiaolang is a Hong Konger, and some Hong Kong government officials or women from prominent families will also use their husband's surname in formal occasions. Taiwan, on the other hand, no longer has this custom due to the amendment of the Civil Code.

"Xia, I'm ready now."

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Xia Yu's wandering thoughts. When he looked up, Zhishi had already packed the books he needed, and it was his turn.

"Okay, here we go."

Xia Yu stopped daydreaming. It seemed a bit early to think about these things now. They were still children.

It will take at least ten or eight years before we can tell.

Soon, they left the bookstore together. Because they met by chance on the road, Yukito didn't ride his bicycle, but pushed his bicycle and walked with Sakura and the others.

It was a rare occasion for her to go home with Yukito again, and without her stinky brother around to make trouble, Sakura's originally depressed mood instantly turned into joyful.

She couldn't help but said, "Brother Xuetu, my brother asked you to help get the book, right?"

Yukito nodded, "Yeah, because Touya's club will end late, so he asked me to help get it. This should be a book that uncle needs for work, right? It seems to be quite urgent."

"So this is the book my father reserved? Thank you."

In response to this thank you, Yukito smiled gently: "You're welcome. I've heard from Touya that you, Sakura, have also worked very hard for your uncle."

Hearing this compliment, Sakura waved her hand shyly: "No."

It turns out that her stinky old brother is still somewhat useful, hehe, and was praised by Brother Snow Rabbit.

As they walked and talked, they soon came to a fork in the road. Because they were in a hurry, Yukito handed the book directly to Sakura.

After handing it to Sakura, Yukito bowed slightly and said with a smile: "It will be fine, since you support your uncle so much, Sakura."

These words made Sakura feel shy again.

"Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Yukito got on his bike and quickly left along the fork in the road. Sakura didn't stop staring at him until she could no longer see Yukito's back.

For the rest of the journey, the three of them walked together for a while, and then parted ways on their respective ways home.

Soon, night falls.

The Wood family.

As the press conference was approaching, Fujitaka was still working on his laptop even as the night deepened.

Occasionally, I need to open a book and look for the information I need.

Sakura secretly opened the study and looked at her father working hard. She couldn't help but frown slightly and worry about him.

Unfortunately, she couldn't help her father with his work, so she had to do what she could, such as bringing her father midnight snacks.

After all, if you work until late at night, you will definitely be hungry.

The midnight snack was made by her brother Touya. Although she didn't want to admit it, her brother's cooking skills were indeed better than hers.

After bringing the midnight snack, Sakura didn't stay too long in order not to disturb her father.

Soon, in Sakura's room.

"You want to go to your dad's school?"

On the pink bed, Sakura knelt in front of Xiaoke in her cherry blossom-colored pajamas, discussing what she was going to do tomorrow. Tomorrow was a day off, and she wanted to take the opportunity to see her father at work.

"Yes."

Xiaoying nodded, looked at Xiaoke and asked, "Xiaoke, do you want to go too?"

"But I'm smart enough without studying."

Xiao Ke gave a rather narcissistic answer. Apparently, he had completely forgotten that he had messed up Xiao Sakura's summer homework.

"We are not going to college. I want to send something to comfort my father."

Sakura thought about what her father had said to her a few minutes ago. Because he was going to be busy, her father planned to sleep in school for the next two days, which would make it more convenient for him to work.
