"Oh no, I forgot to bring a gift."

Looking at Sakura's adorable and innocent appearance, Tomoyo gently shook her head: "No, I'm already very happy that you came here, Sakura."

Although Tomoyo didn't seem to mind, Sakura still blushed with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Tomoyo, I'll make it up to you with the gift when I go to school on Monday."

Realizing that Sakura seemed genuinely concerned about this matter, Tomoyo stopped trying to dissuade her and instead suddenly stepped forward, took Sakura's hand, and led her to a folded wall.

"Oh, right, Sakura, look at this."

Tomoyo pulled out a remote control from somewhere and then pressed one of the buttons.

As soon as the button was pressed, the folding wall opened to both sides in an instant, and Sakura, who was still feeling a little guilty, was immediately attracted by the layout of the room.

The hidden room appears to be a small home theater, with a large sofa in the center and a large screen that takes up the entire wall opposite the sofa.

"what?"

Sakura looked around curiously, and just as she was about to ask Tomoyo what she was going to see, Tomoyo pressed the remote control in her hand again.

In an instant, the large screen on the wall lit up and began playing a video of Sakura dancing with Hanafuda cards.

"Ah this..."

Sakura stared blankly at herself on the screen, feeling incredibly ashamed as she watched herself dancing with the karuta on such a large screen.

"How about it, Sakura? This is a movie theater just for you."

As Tomoyo spoke, she couldn't help but walk into the room, then pointed to a certain spot and said, "This is it. The footage shot here is absolutely perfect; it completely captured your dance moves."

“Every time I prepare a new battle suit for you, I have to watch some of the videos I’ve shot before. Only in this way can I have a constant stream of inspiration.”

"interesting……"

Seeing Tomoyo's high spirits, Sakura could only stand behind and smile helplessly. She didn't feel anything during the usual filming, but when it was actually broadcast, she realized that being watched so closely was really embarrassing.

Especially when played on such a large screen, the level of embarrassment is off the charts, making even your toes curl up in awkwardness.

Xia Yu had also arrived beside Xiaoying at some point. He looked at the scene on the big screen and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "How is it? Xiaoying, I filmed this. I have a real talent for filming, don't I?"

"interesting……"

"Honestly, Sakura, if you went into acting, you'd definitely become a huge star."

Sakura, who was still feeling awkward, quickly shook her head when she heard Xia Yu's suggestion and said, "No way, I'm just an ordinary elementary school student. I don't know how to act."

"Who says elementary school students can't act? Aren't there child actors?"

"No, no, no, I'd rather be a regular elementary school student than a child star."

"An ordinary elementary school student who can use magic?" Xia Yu couldn't help but retort.

"Alright then, after all, it was just a suggestion. If you don't want to, Sakura, that's fine too."

Seeing that Xia Yu was no longer going to talk about it, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and the blush on her face gradually subsided. After Xia Yu's interruption, she was no longer so embarrassed.

"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you something. I also have a home theater like this at home, and it plays the same movie about you."

Sakura: (д)

I don't want to know!

Upon hearing that Xia Yu also had a movie theater at home that played his own music, Xiao Ying's face, which had already turned red, flushed red again, and she was so embarrassed that she almost fainted.

Boom boom boom!

Just then, there was a rapid knocking on the door.

This made the people inside realize instantly that the video playing on the big screen had not been played with sound, which was why they had all heard the knocking.

"It happened!"

Xiao Ke was the first to react, and quickly crawled into the decorative box on the coffee table to hide herself.

Tomoyo reacted quickly, turning off the large screen and then closing the folding wall with the remote. She then pulled Sakura and Natsumi back to the sofa before speaking.

"Please come in."

As soon as Tomoyo finished speaking, the door was impatiently opened with a click.

With her short, wine-red hair, Sonomi pushed open the door, panting as she looked into the room.

Seeing that the person who came in was her mother, Tomoyo smiled gently and said, "Mom, you're back."

Xia Yu and Xiao Ying, who were standing next to her, also bowed slightly and said politely, "Hello, Auntie."

After her rapid breathing gradually subsided, Sonomi walked over, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Welcome, welcome! Hello!"

While greeting her, Sonoko quickly came to Sakura, squatted down, clasped her hands together, and looked at her with a gentle expression.

"I heard you were coming over, so I rushed back from the office. If you don't mind, how about we chat and have some tea in the courtyard? I bought a really delicious cake."

"Eh?"

Upon hearing this, Sakura was taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Kero's hiding place.

Coco loves cake the most, but judging from the current situation, it seems they're going to leave Coco behind and go eat cake by themselves.

On the other side, upon hearing the word "cake," Xiao Ke couldn't help but peek out from among the decorations, but in order not to scare others, it forcefully suppressed its urge to rush out.

I really want to eat it, but I can't.

"Alright, let's go."

In order to chat with Sakura more, Sonomi pushed the children outside.

Just then, the maid who was serving tea came in. Seeing the maid, Sonomi smiled and casually said, "By the way, please take those teas to the courtyard. We want to chat in the courtyard."

"Ok."

The maid didn't think much of it and followed her out with the tea.

Now not only can we not have cake, but we can't even have tea either. It's so sad and miserable.

……

A few minutes later, the water garden.

At this moment, the three children, led by Yuanmei, arrived at an open-air dining table in the water garden.

The lake in the courtyard is planted with many lotus flowers and leaves, and a refreshing atmosphere permeates the air. The lake is surrounded by lush green trees, creating a vibrant green landscape.

Yuanmei was cutting the strawberry cake she had bought at the dining table. The cake was simply decorated with strawberries on top of cream.

However, the taste of a cake cannot be judged solely by its appearance; sometimes, even a simple cake can taste delicious.

"The cakes here are delicious! Do you like cakes?"

Although there were three children sitting at the table, Sonoko's attention was always on Sakura, the group's darling, and she even asked Sakura questions.

"like."

Sakura nodded. Upon hearing this, Sonomi couldn't help but gently stroke her cheek with one hand, and began to recall Nadeshiko's past.

"That's great! Nadeshiko used to love sweets too. She always said she had a special spot in her stomach just for sweets..."

Once Sonoko started talking about Nadeshiko, she seemed unable to stop. Seeing this, the two real children looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

One of the fake children had unfocused eyes, clearly lost in thought again.

Chapter 75 The Unopenable Box

"By the way, Auntie, do you know my dad?"

After Sonomi finished talking about Nadeshiko, Sakura's innocent voice rang out.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"So...what kind of person is my father?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanmei was slightly taken aback.

Sakura continued somewhat embarrassedly, "My dad often talks about my mom, but rarely about himself. And he says he has no relatives left, and I don't know any of my mom's relatives either, so... so..."

As she spoke, Sakura's expression turned expectant. Her father rarely talked about his past, so Sakura was curious to know what kind of person he was in other people's eyes.

Seeing Sakura's expectant expression, Sonomi picked up her teacup, took a sip, and turned her head slightly away, saying, "Your father is a very annoying person."

"Eh?"

"He's handsome, gentle, and a great cook. He can do everything well. For people who like Nadeshiko, he's a very, very annoying person."

"Because the more you try to find his flaws, the less you find them; he's practically a perfect man..."

After saying that, Sonoko turned her gaze away from the distance, winked gently at Sakura, and smiled tenderly: "That's the kind of person you are, right? You can't say it was me who said that."

Hearing Sonomi say she hated it, but her words were full of praise, Sakura's eyes lit up and her smile became even brighter.

"it is good!"

Seeing Sonoko and Sakura chatting happily, Xia Yu didn't join in. Like Tomoyo, he quietly listened.

Time passed slowly until a maid suddenly came over with a phone.

"It's a call from the head office secretariat," the maid said, handing the phone to Sonomi.

"Oh dear, we haven't even been chatting for very long yet."
