Chapter 164: Nadeshiko

Sakura washed herself up, then stood up and stepped into the bathtub.

Her skin is white and has a bit of vitality, which is different from the snow-white translucent of Zhishi, and it looks as if there is a kind of youth overflowing.

Walking slowly into the water, the warm touch wrapped herself tightly, and Sakura couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh of admiration.

However, the ripples she set off caused Xiao Ke to swing towards the edge of the bathtub with its small boat.

"By the way, do you still have time to take a bath? Didn't you just say that Wang Changsheng's stinky little ghost was still waiting for you? โ€

Looking at Sakura's face flushed with steam, Xiao Ke held the boat and fluttered in the "waves" created by Sakura.

"Xiao Wang said that he was going home too, but his home is far away, so he is not in a hurry, right?" Sakura gently flicked the water around Xiao Ke with the palm of her hand, making it and the boat shake a little more violently.

"So how did he get back? By car? Xiao Ke kicked his two little short legs, trying to fight against the fluctuations caused by Sakura, and asked casually.

"Uh......" Hearing Xiao Ke's question, Sakura was stunned again, "I don't know very well, because I was thinking about coming to the house to eat quickly, and then I told my father and brother to go upstairs to do my homework, so as not to let them disturb me, and then secretly run out, so I came back directly first, and Zhishi took the car away." โ€

Hearing this, Xiao Ke couldn't help but sneer: "That stinky little ghost won't go back by himself without calling the driver, right?" โ€

"Probably not, Xiao Wang just didn't call the driver, and he can do magic, right, he flew back directly before, I think it should be the same this time." Sakura shook her head and didn't think much of it.

She felt that Wang Changsheng should not walk home by himself stupidly.

In fact, it is true, Wang Changsheng didn't go back at all, but found a restaurant on the side of the road and ordered a lot of dishes.

From time to time, I secretly throw some things that I think are not delicious into the small world tree, and let my pets solve them.

The dishes he ordered were not all very large, but only one pinch per serving.

After all, it was eating out, and he was too good for a small child, and it was easy to attract attention.

In fact, it is enough for him to go to a restaurant to eat by himself as a child, he just doesn't want the people around him to think that he is a big stomach.

"Whoa~"

Sakura felt that Wang Changsheng would take a lot of time to come and go, and she ate very quickly, so the time to take a bath should be a little more abundant, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.

Therefore, she soaked in the bathtub and began to chat with Xiao Ke.

"Didn't you say that the way you are now is just the reason why you have lost all your strength, so when will you be able to regain your original form?" Sakura's freshly washed hair was dripping, and it was wrapped in a pink towel and coiled around her head to prevent the water from the bathtub from getting on her hair.

The bathroom was steaming hot, cloudy, and blurred in sight.

Without waiting for Xiao Ke to speak, she continued: "If you can become the very powerful person you said, then you can be my bodyguard~ Haha!" โ€

Sakura smiled a little embarrassedly, she wiped the condensed droplets on her face: "Zhishi has so many bodyguards to protect her when she goes out, I heard Xiao Wang say that he was actually arranged by his family to be followed by bodyguards, but he likes to go alone, so those bodyguards are not allowed to follow him." โ€

"โ•ฎ( ฬ„โŠฟ ฬ„)โ•ญcut!" Xiao Ke rolled his eyes, "Does Wang Changsheng's stinky little ghost still need bodyguards?" What to do, let the bodyguards protect the people he bullies? โ€

"Oh, Xiao Ke, why are you so hostile to Xiao Wang!" Sakura's arm lifted from the hot water and poked Xiao Ke Huanghuang's head, "Isn't he just a little handsome, a little smarter, a little more humble, a little more powerful, Xiao Wang's classmate is still very good!" โ€

"Clams?!"

Xiao Ke swayed in the water, and when he heard Sakura's words, he almost didn't fall directly into the water.

"Are you complimenting him? Isn't it a bit too much? Koko looked at Sakura with a pair of disbelieving eyes.

"He's handsome?" There is indeed a point.

"Clever?" It's really smart when he scares people.

"Humility?" That's all pretending to be in front of you, and he doesn't look humble about me at all!!

"Awesome?" ????? **

Xiao Ke paused, and just as he was about to say something, Sakura, who was sitting in the bathtub, interrupted it, "You haven't said it yet, how can you restore the prototype?" You said that your power comes from the Kuro card, haven't we already received several cards, how do you feel as if you haven't changed at all? โ€

(\/"โ‰ก_โ‰ก)=If you want me to regain my strength, at the very least, you must reseal the "Earth" and "Fire" cards! Xiao Ke held the boat with one hand, and just wanted to criticize and complain about Wang Changsheng, but he was all held in his throat, not up or down, almost choking to death, in the end, it could only sigh helplessly, and then explained to Xiao Sakura.

But in an instant, the corners of its mouth hooked up a smug smile again: "Hmph, if I can restore my original form, I will definitely scare you, my prototype is much more handsome than that stinky little ghost!" โ€

"Huh? Is it? Sakura glanced at the unashamed Koko with suspicious eyes, her dark green eyes couldn't help but look towards the ceiling of the bathroom, and the picture of her imagination came to mindโ€”

It's still that small eye, big round head, but it still looks like this silly doll, but the body is many times larger, like a small mountain, squatting on the roof of her house, facing the moon in the sky, whining and whining.

โ€œ? (หŠ?ห‹*) poofhahaha~ What? That's funny, isn't it? Sakura felt a lot more relaxed after taking a hot bath, "I'm going to change my clothes!" โ€

Sakura stood up from the slippery tub against the wall, the water splashing, and the hot water in the pool kept bobbing back and forth.

"I'm here too!" Xiao Ke had a small square scarf on his head, and he left the boat here, then took off the small square scarf on his head, climbed out of the bathtub in three or two times, shook the water on his body, and then rushed into Sakura's clothes.

Sakura wiped her body briefly, put on her underwear, and then wrapped herself in a bath towel, and after making sure that it didn't fall off, she picked up her clothes, opened the bathroom door, and walked out.

"Washed?" As soon as she came out, Sakura saw Tao Taoya coming over, "It's slow enough, can the monster also wash itself well?" โ€

"Nani?!" As soon as she saw her stinky old brother, Sakura knew that he must not have held back his good words.

Sure enough, Sakura glared at Momoya fiercely with her beautiful eyes, and then snorted, "I've washed it quickly this time!" โ€

After she packed up, she had to call Xiao Wang to make an appointment.

"Ignore you!" Sakura walked past Momoya, and originally wanted to raise her foot and kick his calf, but because she was still wrapped around the bath towel, she didn't make much movement, so she could only grind her little tiger teeth and walk over angrily.

Looking at Sakura's departing back, Momoya narrowed her eyes.

Indeed, as Sakura said, the speed of her shower this time is really fast, and she is not as procrastinating as before, and every time she takes a bath, she can't wait to grind for an hour.

"What are you going to do in a moment?"

Just as Sakura was about to walk upstairs, Momoya suddenly asked.

This question almost didn't scare Sakura out of a problem, she stiffened, and then snorted.

"Of course, I have to hurry up and write my homework in a while, and the school has assigned a lot of homework today, ahahaha~"

Sakura's voice fell, and instead of continuing to deal with Momoya, she hurried upstairs and returned to her bedroom.

Looking at the back of his old sister leaving in a hurry, Momoya's deep eyes seemed to be dyed with a smile but not a smile.

He didn't say anything more, just walked into the bathroom with his things in his arms, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the sound of rushing water sounded.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

"Scared me to death just now!"

Sakura went back to her bedroom and put her clothes in the basket, and Ke's big head came out of it.

"Does your excuse work? If you keep doing your homework, will they bring you food and drink? โ€

Xiao Ke's words made Sakura, who was wiping her hair, pause: "That's right, this is also a problem......

After wiping her hair dry, Sakura turned on the hair dryer and dried her hair little by little.

This hair dryer was given to her by Zhishi, and it is said that it is a new hair dryer developed in their home, and the wind will not damage the hair when it blows on the hair.

Sakura used it for a while, and it was really good.

"Ah, so be it!" After drying her hair, Sakura put the hair dryer away and stood up.

"Why are you going?" Seeing Sakura get up suddenly, Xiao Ke couldn't help asking.

"I'll go down and get some food." Sakura walked to the door and explained to Xiao Ke without looking back, "In that case, they probably won't come to deliver anything to me again." โ€

"Yay! Bring some pudding, and I'll eat it!" Xiao Ke suddenly raised his arms and exhaled.

"Xiao Wang's right, you are really a glutton!" Sakura gave Xiao Ke a blank look, and then opened the door and walked downstairs.

At this moment, Momoya was taking a bath, and Fujitaka was cleaning up the table.

There are also some snacks and two puddings on the kitchen counter.

"Sakura-chan, I was just going to call you." Fujitaka, who was tidying up, couldn't help but smile softly when he saw his daughter coming.

"Wow, Dad, are these for me and my brother?" Looking at the pile of dim sum Sakura on the kitchen counter, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she walked over quickly.

As soon as I got closer, a rich aroma came to my face.

It is also mixed with a bit of sweet milky aroma.

"It's so fragrant, it must be delicious!" Sakura couldn't help but blink.

"It's for you and Momoya.,I just heard you say.,Did the school assign a lot of homework today? Just in time, you can grab some snacks and treat yourself to your homework as you finish it. After tidying up the table, Fujitaka stood up and looked at Sakura with a gentle color in his eyes under his glasses.

"Thank you, Dad!" Sakura smiled.

She picked up the dim sum and pudding that Fujitaka had prepared for her, and was about to leave, when she suddenly noticed the picture frame on the dining table that her father had carefully wiped down just now.

"It's Mom." Sakura looked at the beautiful girl in the photo and couldn't help but pause.

The person in the photo doesn't look very old, and his curly hair has a creamy gray feeling, which is very long, and it can be worn down to the waist.

The woman in the photo is none other than Nadeshiko, Sakura's mother, and Takashi Fuji's wife.

Nadeshiko sat on a soft chair, wearing a lilac dress, and she held a yellow flower in bright bloom in her hand, adding a touch of beauty to her already quiet and dusty temperament.

Sakura looked at the picture in a daze, and the plate in her hand was placed on the table.

She picked up the frame and stroked it gently.

There are also water marks that Fujitaka has just wiped on it, and it feels like she is touching her mother's palm.

"Mom, she took it when she was sixteen, right? This is my favorite photo! Sakura held the photo frame in her arms, and her cautious appearance made Fujitaka on the side nod with a complicated expression.

About mothers.

In Sakura's memory, only these photos remain.

She regretted that no one at that time could take more images of her mother like Zhishi.

This is also one of the reasons why every time Chiyo asks her to be the protagonist of various series such as the forest elf series, or some princess series, Sakura does not refuse.

Sakura doesn't know if she's making up for her regrets, or if she's taking pictures of her experiences as a child for her mother, so that one day she can record it for her mother.

Maybe it's both.

"Mommy is so beautiful." Sakura looked at the photo in her arms and sighed a little.

I also learned my mother's name from my father.

It's a beautiful name.

Nadeshiko.

As beautiful as her person.

Sakura remembers that her mother has been a model since she was in middle school.

It is also for this reason that although there are not many films and television remaining, there are many photos and albums.

It can be regarded as giving some comfort to those who are still alive.

If you look through the magazines and periodicals of that period, you might still find the photo of Nadeshiko published on it.

"yes, it's beautiful."

Fujitaka stood aside, the corners of his mouth curled, and the eyes under the glasses were filled with countless tenderness.

"Sakura-chan, your mother is the most beautiful, gentle, and perfect person I have ever met."

โ€œ(????????) Hee-hee, I like mom so much! Sakura nodded.

With a little regret and reluctance on her face, she put the picture frame on the dining table and pushed it in to avoid being inadvertently touched by anyone.

Nadeshiko died when she was three years old.

At that time, Sakura was too young to remember at all.

Momoya has a lot of experience with her mother.

But fortunately, although Sakura doesn't remember her very much, she can often hear all kinds of things about her mother in her father's mouth.

After all, her father is the one who has experienced Nadeshiko the most.

Every time I ask my dad about a little bit of mom, Sakura can be happy for a long time.

That means that I know my mother better.

It is also because under the guidance and influence of Fujitaka, Sakura's heart also has a deep respect for Nadeshiko.

"Okay Sakura-chan, let's go upstairs and do our homework, isn't there a lot? If it's too late, it'll be too late. At that moment, Fujitaka spoke softly in that magnetic voice, slowly urging Sakura-chan.

"Uh-huh!" Sakura nodded, "Then I'll do my homework!" โ€

With that, she picked up the snacks on the table and went upstairs with a pummer.

"Wow! What a sweet dessert! As soon as Sakura entered the door, Xiao Ke pounced, twitched her nose twice, and looked at the plate in her hand with drool.

"Sakura-chan, is this what your dad did?" Xiao Ke swallowed the saliva secreted, and suddenly felt some index fingers wide.

"Of course my dad did it, my brother won't waste so much time making me snacks!" Sakura snorted.

"You eat a little, don't be too full, if something happens to you when you take the Kurot card, you won't even be able to fly." Sakura placed the plate on the desk and instructed Koko.

"Got it, got it!" Xiao Ke said casually, a pair of beanie eyes can't hold anything, only the pudding and dim sum that exude a sweet smell.

"You guy......" Sakura looked at Xiao Ke's greedy pig appearance, and shook her head helplessly, "What Xiao Wang said is really not at all wrong, you can really eat and sleep ......"

"Leave me alone!" Xiao Ke was angry when he heard Wang Changsheng.

But at the moment, it didn't care so much, just muttered, and began to move on the snacks and puddings on the plate.

"Hurry up and eat, we're ready to go." Sakura shook her head and began to pack her things.

But at this moment, the mobile phone that Zhishi gave her suddenly rang.

"Bell bell bellโ€”"
