Chapter 88: Muahito's Sincere Inquiry

  Finally waiting for Cilang and Xiangri, this mighty procession began their cherry blossom appreciation journey.

  At first, the crowd that was walking together got scattered all over the place as soon as they entered the park. Looking at his slowly disappearing companions and the person he least wanted to face right now, who was smiling with narrowed eyes, Yafeng tightly grasped Shouta's hand, absolutely not letting go of Shouta again, or else he would be left alone with Zhouzhu.

  On one side, Ya Feng struggled bitterly, on this side, it was not just intentional or fate, Xue Shan had only Ninxu left by her side.

  "Little Yu-ge." By the time Xue Shan came back to her senses, there was only Ninsu left by her side, so she felt a bit uneasy.

  A comforting smile spread across his face, and then he said, "It's all right, let's enjoy the cherry blossoms ourselves. We can wait for them at our previous meeting spot later."

  Yuki nodded slightly, then lowered her head. This was the first time she had been alone with Shinso since they were five years old, and although she knew he just thought of her as a childhood friend like a little sister, she still felt inexplicably tense.

  Looking down, Yuki Nishiro, who was like an ostrich, let out a faint sigh. Although he had said that he didn't intend to marry her, if you put that aside, the girl was still worth cherishing as a little sister. As she was about to collide with the crowd, Nishiro skillfully and carefully shielded her from the throng of people.

  Kaiya Seijin was left with only Kenmochi, and for Kenmochi, it was the first time he saw Kaiya Seijin that he was attracted to this girl's beauty and temperament. However, it wasn't love at first sight or anything like that, just a very good impression. So when the crowd dispersed in the chaos of people, Kenmochi saw Nii and Shouta following Yakaze and chose not to join the commotion but instead stayed by Kaiya Seijin's side to protect her.

  Emily was with Yeshu Yu, while Kikumaru and Oishi were on the sidelines as guardians. Due to Emily's fondness for China, although it was their first meeting, Yeshu Yu had already recognized this girl as her friend.

  "Emily, didn't you think that Yafeng's gaze just now was unusual?" (Yeshu) intentionally leaned in close to Emily's ear and said mysteriously in Chinese.

  "Is that the honey-haired boy with a smiling face who looks very handsome? (Chinese)" Emily also cooperated and started biting Yeshu's ear.

  "That's right, it's him."

  "But he's always had his eyes closed. How can you tell what his eyes are like?" Emily asked in puzzlement.

  Ye Shu's brow was furrowed with three black lines as he said, "It feels like that, besides, he's just squinting his eyes, not closing them."

  Emily nodded understandingly and said, "Oh, don't mind me, I think Snow Xiang and that Jing Wu's good friend Ren Zu have a complicated relationship. Just look at the way Snow Xiang looks at Ren Zu, you can tell, right?"

  Ye Shu nodded and said: "They are a couple who have not yet married, Xue Xiang has liked Ren Zu's Guan Xi Lang since she was four years old."

  "Is it like this? So romantic."

  Emily Yves looked away with a look of disgust as she saw the two red-hearted eyes.

  Kikumaru and Oishi listened intently as the two girls chatted in a language they couldn't understand at all, but were very interested in their conversation. However, a gentleman like Oishi wouldn't ask, but Kikumaru was different.

  "Yè Sāng, what are you meowing about? We can't understand a thing!"

  Yeshu couldn't help but burst out laughing at Chuiwans adorable appearance, and said to him: "Nothing much, just some small talk. By the way, where are the cherry blossoms better?"

  "On the left side of the park, there are very beautiful ancient island cherry blossoms, very pretty."

  Looking at the person who had already completely shifted their attention, Ye Shu's mouth curved up even more, and his tone also became much lighter, "Then let's hurry over there, I'm getting a bit impatient."

  The camera cuts back to Yafeng Wuer and Taizong.

  "Shota-ge, isn't that an octopus ball stall over there?" Yafeng had sharp eyes and spotted a bustling octopus ball stall from afar.

  "Ah, Ya Feng wants to eat? I'll go buy some for you."

  "Okay, but I want to go with Xiang gege."

  "Hehe, but it seems like there are a lot of people over there."

  Shota looked at the crowd squeezing over there to buy takoyaki, then said to Yafeng: "Yafeng, you wait here with Niji-senpai for me."

  "Kaze was about to object, but Shouta had already turned to Niji and said, 'Niji-senpai, can you please keep an eye on Kaze for me? I'll be right back.'"

  "Hehe, don't worry, Ninxia Jun, I'll take good care of Yafeng."

  Watching Shōta's distant back, Yafeng felt like crying but had no tears to shed. He didn't really want to be alone with this bear-like guy who seemed to have an ulterior motive.

  "Hehe, Yafeng is really reluctant to let Ninxu Jun leave."

  Yah Feng's body stiffened for a moment before he said, "I haven't seen Xiang Gege in a long time, so I want to spend more time with him."

  "It's like this, I thought it was Yafeng hiding from me, his partner."

  Yah Feng's body became increasingly stiff, and she forced a smile as she said, "How could that be? Assistant Zhou is thinking too much."

  "Really? In that case, I'm sure Ya Feng won't mind if we go to the edge of that forest over there and wait for Rinsoo. After all, it's crowded here and we're blocking people's way."

  Yah Feng's heart was screaming no, but he couldn't find a good reason to refuse, so he could only reluctantly follow him into the nearby woods.

  After arriving at the edge of the forest, with fewer people passing by, Yafeng felt increasingly uneasy, after all, she still couldn't face Erji so naturally.

  "Yah Feng seems very nervous."

  "No, how could I? I'm just worried that Xiangtao brother won't be able to find us."

  "Hehe, Yafeng's reason is quite far-fetched, it's easier for us to find each other standing here than before."

  Kaneki didn't plan on letting himself off easily and turned around to look at Nii, asking: "Does Tsukishima have something he wants to say to me?"

  "Hehe, Yafeng really understands me."

  Yah Feng rolled her eyes at the old man and thought to herself, "Hurry up and say what you want to say. If you drag this out any longer, I'm not sure I can still control my emotions."

  Bu'er glanced around and then said to Yafeng: "Let's go into the woods to talk."

  Yah Feng furrowed his brow and said: "That way, Xiang Gege will not be able to find us."

  "It won't work, it won't take much time, but you can't be that fast, right?"

  Yafeng still seemed unwilling, and Not Two continued: "I want to talk to Yafeng about the matter of Shudayu. Is Yafeng still not willing to go in with me? I think it would be bad if others were to hear about this."

  Ya Feng saw this and did not resist, but instead followed Niji very obediently into the depths of the forest.

  They waited until they were almost at the center of the forest where there was hardly a sign of human presence and finally stopped.

  "Yahiko and Teshigawara's engagement, their relationship isn't based on emotions either, is it?"

  Yafeng was taken aback by the straightforward question, having never thought that he would be so direct.

  "Shūsuke, actually, whether it's a family-arranged marriage or free love, neither is that important. What's important is that I know Handa-san is the person who can get the Sanada family's approval and also gets along with me among all the people around me now. I believe it's the same for Handa-senpai too. That's already enough for us. I've never thought that we have to be passionately in love to be together, after all, marriage is life, not a fairy tale. Sometimes finding someone who suits you best can bring more happiness than finding the one you love."

  Her unbelieving eyes stared at Yafeng, although she had always known that Yafeng was a very mature person in terms of mind, but she never thought that she would have such a rational and unbelievable emotional view.

  "Don't you want to find someone who loves you and is most suitable for you to live with?"

  Yah Feng smiled slightly and said, "I didn't think Zhou would be such a naive person. Do you think life is that perfect? Life has never been a fairy tale, and I also know I've never been a princess."

  Bu'er frowned in disapproval, just as he was about to express his own thoughts when a rustling sound interrupted him.
