Chapter 57: Sōichirō's Bagua

  The tournament started the following week, and Seirin made it through smoothly until they met Touou again in the semifinals for a tough match. They lost to Rakuzan in the finals. And so, the Tokyo schools that entered the Kantou Tournament were Rakuzan, Seirin, Touou, and Shuutoku.

  Because there was no iceberg that wasn't afraid of dryness and also had a strong abdominal power, Yafeng started his escape training journey at Qingxue Academy soon.

  Another Friday training escaped, Yafeng wandered alone on the street. When she strolled to a coffee shop in Ginza, she saw her beloved brother, Soichiro, and a beautiful woman inside, behaving intimately. As a student at Gakuin University who had been studying for nearly a month, how could Yafeng not have learned some gossip spirit? (She was already quite gossipy), so she quickly snuck into the coffee shop and sat in a relatively hidden position close to Soichiro.

  "Sōichirō, don't use this excuse anymore, okay?" The woman pleaded.

  "Sorry, Yumi, I really think this is unfair to you, and..." Sōichirō seemed to have something difficult to say.

  "You're worried about Sasuke, I've said it before, I don't care, and I really like kids, Sasuke is also very good to me."

  "I know Sasuke likes you, but..."

  After a moment of silence, Yoshiko asked with a hint of sadness: "Have you forgotten about little Keiko?"

  "Sorry."

  "Don't say sorry, Xiaohui has been gone for eight years, are you going to spend the rest of your life not getting married because of her? I don't believe that after all these years, you haven't liked me at all."

  "I..."

  Yahiko listened to this side, his heart was racing with anxiety, and he scolded Soichiro in his heart, "You idiot! You obviously have feelings for her, why don't you say anything? You're usually so eloquent!"

  "Soichiro, we're not young anymore. I've waited for you for eight years already, that's enough. If you still can't let go of your concerns, then it really is over between us." Yumiko said tiredly.

  "Yumi-ko, I'm sorry, you deserve a better future than being tied down with me and Sasuke."

  On the other side, there was another burst of silence. Suddenly, Yoshiko became very excited and slapped Soichiro, crying out: "Sanada Soichiro, you bastard! What better future? Without you, my future can't be good. What's tied to you and Sasuke? Being with you guys is my happiness, don't you know that?"

  "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Sōichirō said as he hugged Yumiko tightly and she cried in pain.

  "You bastard, after all these years by your side, don't you know what's on my mind?"

  "I'm sorry, it was my fault, it won't happen again."

  "Really?"

  "Yes, Yoshiko, from now on, we'll create our future together with Sasuke."

  "Aren't you running away? Aren't you afraid of delaying my future?"

  "You can't escape now, I've got you cornered." Soichiro has finally returned to his true self.

  Afterwards they sat for a while before leaving, and after they left, Yafeng stood up with a smile at the corner of his mouth.

  "Elegant breeze?"

  "Zhou, help?"

  Two eavesdroppers stood up and found familiar faces sitting next to them.

  "How did you end up here?" they asked in unison.

  "I'm watching my brother (sister) here." The two replied in unison.

  There's still some awkwardness between these two who have an unspoken understanding.

  Sister? Yumi? Niji Yumi? Masayuki reacts, "Just now was your sister Niji Yumi?"

  "Brother? Sōichirō? Sanada Sōichirō? Ni also reacted, "Just now was your brother Sanada Sōichirō?"

  The two of them blushed again at their tacit understanding in unison once more.

  "Really? So your sister is my brother's girlfriend?" Yafeng said with a slight blush.

  "Yes, I didn't think so." Niji was also a bit embarrassed but he had a smiling face paralysis so his expression changes could be ignored.

  "But it's good too, I was worried that Soichiro-san wouldn't get married."

  "Hehe, yeah, but who is Sasuke they're talking about?"

  "My nephew, Soichiro's son, didn't you know?" asked Masayuki, as if it wasn't a secret or anything.

  "I know him, just don't know his name, what about his mother?" asked Ni Feng again.

  "It seems like she died in childbirth or something, I'm not really sure," Yafeng said lightly, then suddenly reacted and asked: "Why are you asking these things? You don't think that Soichiro-san is not good enough for your sister, do you?"

  Looking at Yafeng's suddenly sharp expression, Erniang couldn't help but smile: "No, didn't you just hear what sister said? She doesn't care, and since she doesn't care, how can I care? I'm just worried that sister might not be accepted by Sasuke."

  "Yes, Sosuke is very sensitive." Yafeng also became a bit worried.

  "Yes, and they are also related to our two families."

  "Ah." Yafeng suddenly woke up with a start.

  Looking at Ya Feng, who was still in a daze, G not two rubbed her hair and said: "Hey, Ya Feng, our task is huge, we need to go home and discuss their respective attitudes, and remind them too."

  "I know."

  After dinner, Yafeng pulled Soichiro into the room.

  "What's wrong, Yafeng, being mysterious?"

  "Yafeng confirmed that there was no one else around before saying to Soichiro: 'Soichiro-nii, I went to Ginza again this afternoon and saw you with a young lady.'"

  "Huh?" Sōichirō was taken aback for a moment before saying, "What is it that you want to ask, Gafūn?"

  "I know she's Yumeko, the sister of the Fujita family, and I also know your relationship with her. What I want to know is what exactly is your relationship with her and Sasuke's mother?"

  Kenya Kaze was surprised to know so much about Munechika, but thinking of his relationship with Yumiko, he decided not to hide it anymore. "I and Hidemi were university classmates, and Yumiko was her good friend. Later, I fell in love with Hidemi and we had Sosuke, but she passed away. After that, Yumiko took care of Sosuke for me, and we developed feelings for each other. It's just that I always thought having Sosuke would hold her back, so I kept putting it off until now."

  "So, when are you planning to meet the parents?" Yafeng had recovered her gossiping nature.

  "Meet the parents? So soon?"

  "Hurry up? You've both been dragging this on for eight years, and she's the daughter of the Nii family. Although she's not the heir to the Sohma family, Shigure is one of the successors of the Nii family, so her status in the Nii family isn't low either. Your union will involve two families, how can you not hurry up and meet the parents?"

  Sōichirō slowly came to realize his own inadequacy, "Yakaze, I know what to do now, thank you."

  "Older brother, I'm your sister, no need to thank me."

  Futaba's household was no exception; after dinner, Futaba dragged Yoshiko into her room.

  "What's wrong, Zhou Zhu?"

  "Sister, are you with Shinichiro from the Sanada family?"

  "Huh, how did you know?"

  "I saw you in Ginza today."

  "Oh, yes."

  "Sister, he has a son."

  "I know it's Xiao Huizi, and I love him as well as Zhōu Zhuo, so I want to be with him. Zhōu Zhuo, will you support me?"

  Yumi had already made up her mind and didn't want to say anything more, so she asked: "When do you plan to meet the parents?"

  "Meet the parents? Isn't it too early?"

  "Sister, Dad and Mom have been worried about your marriage for a long time," said Niji with a bright smile.

  "Ah, yeah." Yumiko's smile faltered when she saw Niji's smile.

  "And he is the eldest grandson of the Sanada family, although Mr. Sanada is more inclined towards Sanada Genichiro, but he also has a chance to succeed the Sanada family, so his marriage must be taken very seriously by the Sanada family, you should inform both families as soon as possible."

  "Alright, I'll discuss it with Sōichirō."
