Chapter 71: The Final Fate of the Young Mistress of a Noble Family
After settling the Sato family's affairs, Setsuna officially joined the Kaino family and became their adopted daughter. Her name was changed to Kaino Setsuna, making her Kaino Shizuka's adopted younger sister. She lived with Shizuka in the Kaino family's villa in Kanagawa and attended Rikka University, while Haishu Yu accompanied her in Kanagawa.
For the Kaizuka couple, at first it was because of Sanada Yukimura's orders that they took in this adopted daughter, but when they saw Setsuna for the first time their original intention changed. This delicate and weak girl made them feel an urge to take care of and protect her from the bottom of their hearts, so their kindness towards Setsuna was more than just following Sanada's orders, it was also because they genuinely wanted to take good care of this poor girl.
While Ya Feng returned to the Sanada main house, she was summoned by the old master of Sanada to his chambers. She thought it was about Setsuna's matter, but unexpectedly, it was another thing that made her want to hide.
"Grandfather." Yafeng greeted politely and sat down in front of Old Man Zhen Tian.
Sanada smiled and nodded, then looked at Yafeng for a while before saying: "Yafeng, you handled the Sato family's affairs very well this time. Our little princess has grown up too."
Masuda's face turned red with praise from Old Man Sanada, and he looked down with a hint of shyness.
"In a few more months, Yafeng will be sixteen years old and considered an adult." Old Master Shinada continued.
Yah Feng was taken aback for a moment, and then he had a bad premonition.
"Although it's not urgent, Grandfather still hopes that Yafeng can find someone who truly loves and is capable of taking care of her to entrust her life to," said the old man, looking at Yafeng with a slight pause. "So, Yafeng, starting from tomorrow, you'll come with me to meet a few decent kids, and if possible, Grandfather hopes you can find your own happiness among them."
Seeing his premonition come true, Yafeng let out a helpless sigh, then looked up and asked in a conciliatory tone: "Grandfather, I'm still young, there's no hurry."
"Which one?" Sanada said with a glare in his eyes.
Ya Feng immediately became an inch shorter, pouting and lowering his head. His grandfather was usually easy to talk to, but once he had made up his mind, no one could change it.
The next day, under the careful dressing of Sanada Wakako, Yafeng, who was wearing a light blue dress and looked very elegant, followed Sanada's old man, who was also dressed in traditional Japanese clothes, on his way to the blind date.
On the car, Mr. Sanada told Yafeng that this time's blind date object is his old friend's grandson, an excellent child who is recognized by even Shinoda Kōichirō, and also the most satisfactory one among all their blind date objects so far, anyway, the implication of his words was that if Yafeng could develop a relationship with this blind date object, it would be the best thing ever.
After about an hour of walking, their car finally stopped in front of a quaint mansion. When Shinoda-san got out of the car and saw the nameplate on the gate, Yafeng only then realized that his first blind date was actually Handa Kokou, who had gone to Germany for over two years but still had a significant influence on Japanese middle school tennis. No wonder his grandfather and older brother were so satisfied.
Masaki was lost in thought when Ayaka Handa had already arrived at the entrance to greet him.
"Uncle, you're here." Teshigawara Akane asked gently.
Sanada bowed his head and then called out to Yasukaze, saying: "Yasukaze, this is Tezuka's wife."
Yah Feng took a step forward and bowed to the woman, "Hello, Handa aunt."
Tezuka Ayane's eyes sparkled as she looked at Yafeng and said with a hint of excitement: "Is this Yafeng? What a lovely and pretty child!"
Yah Feng raised an eyebrow, and for some reason she felt that this Mrs. Tezuka didn't seem as demure as she appeared on the surface, but rather had a somewhat playful air about her.
Sanada's old master seemed to be in a good mood and asked warmly: "Is that old man from Guo Yi at home?"
"Here, Father, I've been waiting with Mother for Uncle's arrival."
Tezuka Ayane finished speaking and led Sanada-sama and Kaze along the way.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of a traditional Japanese-style room. Tezuka Ayaka called out from the doorway, "Father, Lord Sanada has arrived."
After a short while, the sliding door of the room was pushed open, and Yafeng saw the old man Tetsuya sitting in the room looking at Shinten, who asked loudly: "Yumonemon, you're here."
Sanada bowed his head and then shifted his gaze to the newly opened door, where Tetsuya Handa stood. Handa spoke with great respect: "Hello, Mr. Sanada."
Sanada nodded in satisfaction and said, "Of course we'll come. Today is our crucial 100th battle after all."
Touyama's expression also softened a lot, then shifted his gaze towards Yasukaze and said: "Yasukaze-chan has arrived too."
"Grandpa Tetsuya is fine." Yafeng asked politely.
Touyuan Lao Ye nodded and said: "Yafeng should know our Guo Guang, right?"
Yafeng nodded and said: "Yes, I saw him before when Xian Yilang brother was competing."
"Let Kunito accompany you to Tokyo for a visit today, and I will definitely win this game of chess with your grandfather," then Mr. Tetsuya turned to Kunito and said: "Kunito, take good care of Yafeng today, got it?"
"Yes."
In this way, two people who were not very familiar with each other were awkwardly driven out of the house by the clumsy matchmaking methods of the two grandfathers.
Standing at the entrance of Tezuka's house, Yasuaki looked at someone standing beside him with an obvious chill in the air and let out a sigh. "Tezuka-senpai, you must have just returned to Japan, there must be many things you need to take care of, so go ahead and attend to your own matters. I can wander around on my own, and we can meet back here when it's about time."
"It doesn't matter, where do you want to go?"
When he heard Tetsuya's cold voice, Masaya said that although he was used to his older brother's cold treatment, it still felt different with the ice mountain.
"I don't have anywhere I want to go, but shouldn't the upperclassmen get together with Atobe Keigo and the others? This year, Byakuren has returned again, Seigaku is strong enough to contend for the championship once more."
When mentioning Qing Xue, Ya Feng clearly felt that the atmosphere around him had become warmer, and he only heard him say: "Thank you for being the manager of Qing Xue."
Yah Feng was taken aback, then reacted and said: "No, I only played for two months, didn't accompany them to finish the whole game."
"Today, they all went to Kawamura's house together, didn't they, Mr. Sanada?"
Yafeng was slightly surprised to hear Shou's invitation, but seeing his still expressionless face, she felt a little disappointed. However, she immediately became excited and nodded, saying: "Great, I haven't seen Atao and the others for a long time either."
They walked all the way to River Village Sushi in silence, maintaining a safe distance of about one meter between them.
When these two people who should have nothing to do with each other in the eyes of Qingxue's crowd appeared together at the sushi restaurant in He Cun's house, everyone in Qingxue was stunned.
"Heh heh, didn't Handa say that he had something on today and couldn't come? How did he suddenly show up with Yafeng?" Nifū was the first to ask what everyone was wondering.
Teshigawara didn't respond, but instead led Kise to the empty seat between Nijimura and Momoharu. It was Kise who spoke up after sitting down, addressing Nijimura across Teshigawara: "Because originally, Senior Teshigawara was supposed to go on a date with me, but we didn't know where to go, so we came to join everyone for the food fight instead."
Only to see Kaze no Kokoro's words just stopped, and Ushio and Kikumaru who were fighting in the food were choked. Inui's eyes lit up with a bright light, Momoshiro, Oishi, and Echizen froze, Ohishi started a new round of muttering, Nifūji's smiling face stiffened, and Tezuka's icy face cracked.
"Wow, it's been a few months and everyone has become cute again."
At this time, everyone finally came to their senses and realized that they had been fooled by Yafeng again. They couldn't help but twitch at the corner of their mouths. However, no one else wondered why Yafeng would appear with Shudai anymore. But this didn't include a certain black-bellied bear.
