Know Yourself in the Dragon World

Chapter 440: The Distant Place (3)

Amid the noise of the plane taking off, Sakura silently opened the exquisite box.

It seemed like the kind of gift that only a middle school student would give. The gangster fell in love with a girl with good grades, and he wrapped his feelings clumsily, even the straps looked cautious.

"I don't remember you bringing this." Yuan Zhisheng leaned over curiously.

"A crow gave it to me," said Sakura.

She opened the lid and revealed a rose made of red paper. It was truly a gift that only a middle school student would give. Crow shouldn't be unable to afford even a rose, right?

This is not the crow's fault.

Crow calls himself a military strategist, and he is not a simple-minded person like Yasha. But in the battlefield of love, he really only knows the tricks he learned in middle school.

After knowing the date of Yuan Zhisheng's flight, Crow talked to Yasha for a whole night. They thought hard about how to confess their love, but they couldn't come up with a suitable method.

Yasha says why don’t you stop her and say it directly.

Crow thinks that this method will most likely result in Sakura's knife being acquired, and Crow doesn't want Sakura to not go to France with the Boss because of his own reasons.

Although this idea is very self-indulgent.

But love is something that can easily lead to self-sentiment.

Yasha said crow women.

Crow said that Yasha didn't understand romance and he is no longer at the age where he used to hang out with gangsters and pick up girls. After all, he is now the director of the Operations Bureau (Execution Bureau) and can't be the same as before.

Yaksha couldn't understand why Crow made things so complicated, so he simply told her to buy a rose and give it to her when she said goodbye.

Crow slapped his head and thought that Yasha's idea was good, but it was still a little lacking. It would be too insincere to spend money to buy flowers. He remembered that he had learned how to fold paper roses in middle school.

And then I couldn't embarrass Sakura in public, so I had to wrap it up, like a farewell gift.

The two discussed for a whole night and finally decided on this plan.

"He didn't dare to say it directly when we parted?" Yuan Zhisheng rubbed his forehead, "He only dared to express his feelings in this way."

"Very beautiful." Eri said.

Ying remained silent and picked up the paper rose.

"Don't you know that crows like you?" Yuan Zhisheng asked.

If Yuan Zhisheng couldn't sense the thoughts of the two funny guys under his command, he would be unworthy of being the head of the Yuan family, not to mention his status as the patriarch of the family.

Gen Chisei could also feel Sakura's feelings for him.

But he didn't want to talk about it or mention it.

At that time, he was the director of the Executive Bureau, the head of the Minamoto family, and the Amaterasu of the Snake Eight Clans.

On top of these foundations, he is also the superior of Crow, Yasha and Sakura, and even more so a friend.

"I know." Sakura's voice was so small, so small that it was odd.

She noticed writing around the edge of the paper rose.

"Do you like him?" Yuan Zhisheng also whispered.

Eri's attention was no longer on the game console. She watched Sakura slowly unwrapping the paper rose.

"I don't like it." Sakura seemed reluctant to discuss this issue.

As the paper rose was opened, the words appeared before Sakura's eyes.

It can be seen that Crow wrote the letter very seriously, judging from the handwriting.

"It's an honor to have this life with you, and I'm glad to have known you. We've been through life and death, hardships and difficulties together. I like you, that's all, and I hope you have a good time in France."

The words were so simple that they were somewhat ridiculous. Sakura didn't know what to do with the note for a moment. She looked at Yuan Zhisheng expressionlessly.

As before, waiting for instructions from the head of the household.

However, Yuan Zhisheng smiled and said, "Now I am no longer the head of the family, nor the head of the Yuan family. You don't need to ask me for instructions. You decide how to deal with it."

"Sister Sakura has been confessed to!" Eryi's eyes were full of smiles.

Gen Chisei didn't know when Eri knew about the "confession". Looking back, it seemed that he saw Eri following "Tokyo Love Story" a few days ago, so she probably learned about it from there.

Sakura lowered her head very low, and finally put everything back into the box.

Gen Chisei knew that Sakura had already made a decision. He didn't ask what the decision was, and there was no need to guess.

"Sister Sakura, do you want to agree to Crow?" Eri asked.

Ying smiled and shook her head, saying, "Just leave it there as a souvenir."

"So that means rejection?" Eri needed an accurate answer to understand this matter.

"Yeah." Sakura said, "That guy won't care. It's just a goodbye."

"Goodbye?" The more Eri continued talking, the more confused she became. "Didn't we say goodbye already?"

"Say goodbye to the past." Sakura closed the box.

Say goodbye to the past, it's past.

Everyone has the answer in their hearts, whether it is the crow or the cherry, Yuan Zhisheng knows it better.

You don't have to give an answer if you have one.

The crow just didn't want to leave any regrets, although he was clumsy.

Sakura treated it as a long time ago and she had rejected it.

Looking back to the day when they first met, Sakura was just a little girl who polished weapons, and Crow was a retainer of Minamoto Chisei.

The crow passed by Sakura and took a special look at her.

Ying thought that he was like everyone else, who was willing to do anything as long as they were given something to eat, and came here for some bad purpose.

Many people have come here, and Sakura actually did not agree to those unreasonable requests. It was just a rumor, and she was too weak to stop it.

But the crow said nothing, just looked at it a few more times.

Sakura saw desire in his eyes, she had seen it too much.

It was also on that day that Yuan Zhisheng found her.

After that day, Sakura became a retainer of Minamoto no Chisei, with the same status as Crow.

After that day, Sakura never saw desire in Crow's eyes again, and the desire slowly turned into something else.

People near the fire have clear perception.

There is nothing shameful about the fact that love stems from desire.

"I'll send someone to take you to the dock the day after tomorrow." Ryoma Genichirō shook hands with Finkel. "By the way, can you complete the upgrade of the firewall in one day?"

"No, no, no, I'm just secondary. The main thing is the hardware. I have to say, with all of Kaguya's hardware, you guys made such a fragile thing. You're really... badass."

"There's still a gap between us and the academy." Ryoma Genichirō readily admitted this fact.

"That's settled then. Thank you for your support, everyone."

"Can I ask why you don't want to go back to the academy?" asked Ryoma Genichirō.

"Well, the reasons are very complicated. To sum it up in one sentence, nothing good will come of it if I go back. The Chu Zihang incident made a big deal back then. You should have heard about it. Gattuso's investigation team came in glory and left in disgrace. I contributed to this. Now that the old accounts have been settled, nothing good will come of it if I go back." Finkel said.

"I understand." Ryoma Genichirō knew that Finkel probably didn't tell the real reason, and this was just the least important one among many reasons.

He did not ask any further questions. His intuition told him that Finkel would not answer even if he asked him. Moreover, the more he knew about those things, the worse it would be for the Eight Clans of Sheqi.
