Chapter 75 The Box That Cannot Be Opened

"By the way, Auntie, do you know my father?"

Sakura's innocent voice is heard after Sonomi finishes talking about Nadeshiko.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"So...what kind of person is my father?"

Yuan Mei was slightly startled when she heard this.

Sakura continued a little embarrassedly: "My father often mentioned my mother, but rarely talked about himself. Besides, my father said that he has no relatives left. I don't know any of my mother's relatives, so... so..."

As she spoke, Sakura showed an expectant look. Her father seldom talked about his past, so Sakura really wanted to know what kind of person her father was in the eyes of others.

Seeing Sakura's expectant look, Yuan Mei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then turned her head slightly and said, "Your father is a very annoying person."

"Eh?"

"He's handsome, gentle, and can cook. He's good at everything. For people who like Nadeshiko, he's a very, very annoying person."

"Because the more I try to find his flaws, the harder it is to find. He is almost a perfect man..."

After saying that, Yuan Mei retracted her gaze from the distance, winked gently at Xiaoying, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Is this the kind of person? You can't say it was me who said it."

Listening to Sonomi's words of dislike, but with compliments between the lines, Sakura's eyes lit up and the smile on her lips became even brighter.

"it is good!"

Seeing that Yuanmei and Sakura were having a great conversation, Xia Yu did not join in. Like Tomoyo, he just quietly listened.

Time passed slowly until a maid suddenly came over with a phone.

"It's from the head office's secretarial office." The maid said as she handed the phone to Yuan Mei.

"Oh, that's annoying. We haven't even talked for long."

Although she complained, Yuan Mei still took the phone and put it to her ear: "It's me...it's..."

After a few seconds, Yuan Mei hung up the phone with a frown on her face. She put her hands together and apologized to the kids, "I'm sorry, there's an urgent issue at the company. I may have to talk on the phone for a long time..."

Hearing this, Zhishi stood up sensibly and said, "Then let's go to the room and play first."

Sakura nodded and stood up, "Well, thank you for the cake, Auntie."

Xia Yu also picked up a plate of uneaten cake and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality."

After saying that, the three of them walked towards the room together. Yuanmei looked at the three people leaving, especially Sakura, and couldn't help feeling a little sad. She still wanted to continue chatting.

"Xiaoying, please stay for dinner. By all means, we have a plan!"

Facing Sonomi's enthusiasm, Sakura smiled sweetly: "Okay!"

On the way back to the room, Sakura recalled the enthusiastic Sonomi and couldn't help but say, "Tomoyo, your mother is so nice."

"Thank you, my mother will be very happy."

Zhishi replied with a smile, and suddenly looked at Xia Yu: "I'm sorry, Xia, you are also a guest, but mom..."

"what?"

Seeing Zhishi suddenly apologize to him, Xia Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I don't mind. Besides, Xiaoying is a popular girl. It would be strange if anyone didn't like Xiaoying at first sight."

Sakura, who was about to apologize, couldn't help but blush when she heard this.

Really, Xia always likes to say this, like at first sight or something... Obviously Li is cold. Zhishi heard this, covered his mouth and smiled lightly, and didn't say anything else. Not long after, they came to the door of Zhishi's bedroom.

After pushing the door open, before they walked in, suddenly a small yellow figure with bared teeth rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye.

"cake!!"

"what?!"

Xiaoke's sudden appearance scared Sakura. After scaring Sakura, Xiaoke was still not satisfied. He floated in front of Sakura with a resentful look on his face, looking aggrieved like a ghost.

"You guys excluded me and I'm the only one who can't eat the cake. I'm so sad!"

Because the window of Tomoyo's bedroom could see the water garden, not only could Kero not eat the cake, but he also had to watch Sakura and the others eat the cake, and he could only swallow his saliva silently in the bedroom.

"Xiaoying, you look like you are eating the cake and it tastes delicious. I have been watching you two in this room and it is so pitiful."

"Sorry, Xiaoke..."

Sakura hurriedly smiled, but Xiaoke's face looked even more resentful, because Sakura didn't even bring any cake for him. He thought Sakura would think of him while eating the cake.

Woo woo woo, it’s going to carve the word “miserable” on the table!
"Eh? No one wants to eat cake? Then I'll take the remaining cake."

Xia Yu, who was a step behind, walked in, holding a plate with a piece of sweet cake on it.

Xiao Ke's eyes lit up when he smelled the aroma of the cake. He flew to the cake in a flash and said impatiently, "Me, me, me! I want to eat cake. Someone wants to eat it. I want to eat it!"

Seeing Xiaoke's impatient look, Sakura, who was originally smiling along, burst out laughing, and Tomoyo beside her also smiled.

Xiaoke took the cake from Xia Yu's hand, hurriedly flew back to the coffee table, then hurriedly cut off a piece with a fork and put it into his mouth.

"Woo woo woo, Xia boy, you still understand me. I will never be rough with you again."

Listening to Xiaoke's incoherent mumbling with food in his mouth, Xia Yu rolled his eyes. He said it was only right to say it now, as he was sure that Xiaoke would forget about it later.

After savoring the cake on the plate, Xiao Ke sighed with satisfaction and said, "Really? This room smells like the scent of Clow Cards. I'm so lonely here alone. Fortunately, there is cake to soothe my lonely soul."

"Crow cards?"

Sakura asked curiously, and Tomoyo nodded as if she understood: "It's true, you are worthy of being Xiaoke."

"what?"

Sakura looked over in surprise. She first looked at Tomoyo, then at Xia Yu, and found that neither of them looked surprised. Could it be that she was the only one who didn't know what had happened?
“That’s actually what’s bothering me.”

As Chise spoke, she walked towards the closet and took out a square storage box from the closet.

After putting the storage box on the coffee table, Zhishi said with a little worry: "This box suddenly can't be opened. Although I have the key, you see..."

As he spoke, Tomoyo pointed the key in his hand at the keyhole of the box, but just as he was about to insert it, an invisible force suddenly appeared and directly bounced the key out.

The key also spun several times in the air, but before it fell to the ground, Xia Yu reached out and caught it.

"It must be the Clow Cards' fault."

Xiao Ke flew to the box and said confidently, "There's a hint of Clow Cards coming from this box, but I'm not sure what kind of cards they are."

Zhishi took the key from Xia Yu and said again: "I originally wanted to open this box that my mother hadn't opened for a long time, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I guess it must be the Clow Cards that are causing trouble, so I asked you to take a look."

After finishing speaking, Chiyo picked up the small box again and said, "There are very important things in it for me and my mother. Since the box just can't be opened, it's not considered lost, but the things in it are very important. I am a little worried that it can't be opened."
