NOVEL NEXT Chapter 212: Sakuragi Family Interlude 2
Moreover, Yan Huan hadn't forgotten the words Sakuragi said to him at his doorstep after the peeking incident was exposed.
Thinking of this, Yan Huan smiled and was about to speak when Nara politely extended her hand to him first,
"Just call me sister~"
"Smack!"
But just as she extended it, it was slapped away by Tong Yingying with a dark expression,
"Sister, my foot! Call her Yoshida Minami!"
"..."
Yoshida Minami winced in pain, looked coquettishly at Yan Huan, as if silently saying "please help me".
Unfortunately, as soon as Tong Yingying glanced over, she quickly adjusted her expression,
"Just call me Nara."
"Sister Nara."
"Ah~"
With the suitable address, Nara laughed even more sweetly.
Yan Huan glanced at Nara, who seemed familiar with Tong Yingying, pondered for a while, and then decided to continue asking,
"Sister Nara, were you familiar with Sister Tong before?"
"Sort of, we used to... be like sisters?"
"...Isn't it supposed to be as close as sisters?"
Nara chuckled, shook her head at Yan Huan,
"We weren't that close, but we indeed had a very close and similar relationship..."
Nara glanced at Tong Yingying, who had a calm expression, and explained to Yan Huan,
"Both of us are solitary wanderers from across the ocean, coincidentally possessing some talent, both regarded as daughters by a highly respected and kind elder...
"However, we're actually quite different. For example, I'm quite popular with the boys, whereas she is rather feared by them."
Is that right?
Yan Huan raised an eyebrow, looking towards Tong Yingying, who appeared gloomy.
No matter how he recalled, all that came to mind was the image of her raising one finger and saying "I have an idea".
"Oh my, you can tell just by looking at her demeanor. Coincidentally, I kept some of her old photos, let me show you..."
As she spoke, Nara took out her phone with a chuckle.
Tong Yingying instantly realized what photos those were and immediately said coldly to Nara,
"Don't let him see them!"
"...No problem."
Upon hearing this, Nara obediently put her phone away but mouthed silently to Yan Huan,
"I'll send them to you privately later~"
Turning her head, Tong Yingying finally got to the point, asking Yan Huan,
"What happened that made you come to see me so urgently?"
"Oh, it's like this, Sister Tong..."
Yan Huan shared some information he learned, specifically mentioning his early visit to the Sakuragi Family and its connection to Sakuragi Hitomi, which led to different expressions on Tong Yingying and Nara's faces.
"See, I told you the power of first love is huge, didn't I?"
The smug expression belonged to Nara.
"Hehe."
The disgusted look, as if she had swallowed a fly, belonged to Tong Yingying.
However, since Yan Huan's early visit to the Sakuragi Family was beneficial to their official matters, Nara sighed first and sincerely advised Yan Huan,
"Be careful, young man. I was scrutinized by the Sakuragi Family because of my identity. That place is deep and dangerous, so you must be cautious..."
"We're just a study group, merely visiting as guests."
Yan Huan spoke lightly, but only he knew the pressure.
The situation with the modifiers was already tense, and now there's this new issue that came up.
He didn't know himself or Sakuragi had offended the President of Xiuzhi Academy, but the current situation was that:
Yan Huan not only had to deal with the modifier issues but also with the Sakuragi Family's matters.
It's becoming increasingly difficult...
"Then... I'll head to the Sakuragi Family with them later, and we'll contact again once you're done with your stuff?"
"Alright."
Yan Huan nodded, turned back towards the direction he came from.
Someone was still waiting for him over there.
Behind him, Nara waved at his departing figure, exclaiming in admiration,
"Yan Huan and the young lady are quite a match... honestly, if the young lady did nothing, she would have won already..."
"Win, my foot."
Tong Yingying glared at Nara, but at that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced down at it, her expression turned serious.
Seeing this, Nara knew it was a message from her subordinates,
"Is there news about that person?"
"Yeah, in the Capital City. Said to be fleeing towards... the Arashiyama area."
"Then we're off... huh? Arashiyama?"
"Yeah, why?"
Nara mulled over the name, and then her expression turned odd,
"Nothing, just... I think I remember, the Sakuragi Family is north of Arashiyama?"
...
...
"Ding~"
Capital City, Youjing District, Saga-no.
An MPV was driving along the country road, inside, sitting front to back were Kagami Hime and Anle Demon King.
Sakuragi Kagami was driving, while in the passenger seat, Yan Huan was looking at the golden wing ring in his hand, puzzled.
Sister Tong, I knew your gift-giving taste was bad, but I didn't expect it to be this bad.
Giving a guy a gold ring, is this your return gift?
"Wow, Yan Huan, look, what's that pink flower!"
At that moment, Spencer leaned against the window, looking at the pink flowers covering the mountainside, his sky-blue eyes sparkling.
"Those are cherry blossoms planted by our family, seeing them means we're almost home..."
Observing this, as the host, Sakuragi Hitomi introduced them to Spencer.
Before she even finished speaking, at the end of the mountain road, a large estate blending old charm with modernity appeared.
At the entrance, stood two distinctively styled young men.
