"My brother always said that Mom has always been by our side."
"I don't know if what he said was true or false, but after I started elementary school, my brother suddenly told me that my mother had left."
"I asked my brother where Mom went and why she left. My brother only said that because I had grown up and was living a good life, she was at ease and went to a very, very far away and beautiful place."
At this moment, the glow falling from the sky seemed somewhat serene. Sakura looked out the window and saw the already setting sun shimmering with blood-red afterglow.
"Maybe my brother really could see Mom back then, but since she's already gone, how could she be here?"
Sakura doesn't know if that was really her mother, or just an illusion created by the Clow Cards, but Sakura is determined to see her again and ask if she has anything to say to her.
"No matter what, we absolutely must go to the back mountain again tonight!"
Sakura's voice was very firm. Looking at her back as she stood alone by the window, and her two small hands gripping the windowsill tightly, her knuckles turned white from gripping too hard.
Kero knew that Sakura's decision was unshakeable.
Having somewhat suppressed her desire to stop Sakura from going to the back mountain, Kero clenched her little fists and cheered Sakura on, saying, "Yay! Since you've already decided, I'll go with you!"
"That's right, Sakura, don't worry, we'll go together." Tomoyo's dark purple eyes revealed a hint of concern.
"Don't worry, I'll stay with you." Wang Changsheng said softly, looking at Xiaoying's somewhat lonely figure.
He stepped forward, gently took Sakura's hand from the windowsill, and placed it in his own palm.
"Your hands are covered in dust." Wang Changsheng pulled out a wet wipe from his little world and helped Xiaoying wipe her hands, which had touched the dusty windowpane.
Last night, Sakura's mother, Nadeshiko, may indeed have reappeared.
Since the Clow Cards led Sakura to the edge of the cliff, it was naturally impossible for him to save her.
Since neither Wang Changsheng nor Xiao Ke could break through the barrier formed by Xiao Ying's mental power, Wang Changsheng believed that the power that kept Xiao Ying suspended in the air must have come from her real mother.
So when Sakura said that she seemed to have really seen her mother last night, it was not groundless.
Before she fell into a coma, she may have really seen her mother.
"Thanks……"
The wet wipe spun in her palm, making Sakura feel a little itchy.
A slight blush rose to her cheeks. "I'll definitely work harder and won't hold you back anymore!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng shook his head. "How could you be a hindrance? It's because we arrived too late and couldn't help you in time. If what you're saying is true, then we're the ones who are holding you back."
"Huh? No, no, I didn't mean that." Sakura shook her head repeatedly.
Seeing her somewhat flustered and disorganized appearance, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but chuckle: "Of course I know you didn't mean that. I just wanted to say that from now on, we need to advance and retreat together when we act, understand? If you're always the one charging ahead, and something happens, we won't be able to concentrate our forces, and we might be defeated one by one."
Wang Changsheng glanced at Sakura, squeezed her hand, and continued, "At that time, it might not just be you who gets into trouble. Tomoyo, Kero, and I might also get into trouble. If it really comes to that, none of us can help each other."
"Therefore, no matter what the matter, no matter what the event."
"Next time, and the time after that, every single time!"
"We have to face this together!"
Since this incident involved the Clow Cards and no other forces were interfering, it was relatively safe.
But putting aside what Natsume Seiyasu said, the other forces in the Conan world, or Sakura's own world, are enough to threaten them.
Therefore, in the process of sealing the illusion cards, Wang Changsheng not only wanted to train Xiaoying's mental resilience and independent thinking ability, but also wanted to tell her that they are a team.
Since we are partners who can entrust our backs to each other, then no matter what happens in the future, we should not act recklessly or try to be brave.
"Hmm!" Hearing Wang Changsheng's concerned words and looking into his dark eyes that revealed sincere emotions, Xiaoying opened her beautiful big eyes and stared straight at him.
Her eyes were smiling, a smile as bright as a summer sunflower.
shine.
charming.
The brilliant glow of the approaching sunset shone down, piercing through the fiery clouds and falling on them through the window.
Everything looked so natural, so beautiful.
This was the agreement they made when they were young, and also their promise to stay together in the future.
Wang Changsheng felt somewhat uneasy under Xiaoying's gaze.
He originally just wanted to give Sakura a few bowls of chicken soup to cheer her up, but judging from the result, it seems that the chicken soup was a bit too nourishing...
Time passed second by second.
Seeing that Xiaoying was still staring intently at him without saying a word, and had a smiling expression, Wang Changsheng felt a little uneasy. He couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoying, why are you staring at me like that?"

"Hehe~" Sakura chuckled, "I just think you've suddenly become so handsome, Xiao Wang!"
Wang Changsheng: (′つヮ??) What's going on~
Tsu
Xiao Ke pursed her lips upon hearing this.
Is Sakura really the one Wang Changsheng was talking about?
correct!
Central air conditioning!
He was just saying he was handsome, and now he's saying someone else is handsome.
Damn it!
Xiao Ke squatted on the bed, flapping its wings, and glared fiercely at Wang Changsheng.
"Hmph, I'll let you off the hook this time, since you've cheered Sakura up again."
Tomoyo, who had been silently watching Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying looking at each other, had somehow gotten a camera in her hand, pointed the lens at the two of them, and started filming without saying a word.
A hint of excitement shone in her eyes, perhaps because she felt a great sense of satisfaction in capturing such a scene of Sakura.
After all, the afterglow of the setting sun was quite nice, making it a perfect backdrop. Wang Changsheng and Xiaoying were both incredibly good-looking, so Zhishi felt that it would be a huge loss not to capture this scene.
"Sit down first, I have something to tell you." Wang Changsheng pulled Xiaoying to sit on the bed.
Tomoyo, on the other hand, was sitting in that chair.
"What do you want to say, Xiao Wang?" After sitting down again, Xiao Ying couldn't help but look at Wang Changsheng.
Zhishi and Xiaoke also shifted their attention over. The former saw that Wang Changsheng seemed to have something important to say, so he turned off the camera and listened quietly to what he was going to narrate.
"After you all left yesterday, I was planning to go straight back, but I ran into someone." Wang Changsheng looked at Xiaoying.
He hesitated whether to tell Sakura about Natsume Seian directly, in case he scared the girl into having some kind of problem.
"Was it after I left?" Zhi Shi blinked when she heard Wang Changsheng's question.
Yesterday, Wang Changsheng used the Anywhere Door to send her home directly. After a while, Wang Changsheng called her, both to ask if she was alright and to let her know that he had arrived home as well.
At the time, Tomoyo was a little confused because she had returned to her bedroom directly using the Anywhere Door. If Wang Changsheng were to return home, he would probably use that pink door as well, right?
However, it was only a long time before he called himself to open the door, which was such a simple matter.
Clearly, something had delayed him along the way.
However, Wang Changsheng didn't say anything at the time, so Zhi Shi naturally wouldn't ask him.
After confirming that both of them were alright and had arrived home safely, Tomoyo tidied up and went to sleep soundly.
Of course, because Wang Changsheng also warned that Sakura might take action again after returning home, Tomoyo placed her cell phone next to her pillow.
She is a light sleeper, and if the phone rings, it will definitely wake her up, so Tomoyo is not worried about not being able to answer Wang Changsheng's or Sakura's calls.
Unexpectedly, she slept soundly until dawn and went to school feeling refreshed.
"That's right." Wang Changsheng nodded. "I'm the person I met after I took you back."
After thinking it over, Wang Changsheng decided to tell Xiaoying and Zhishi the whole story.
He wants to use this card-playing incident to help Sakura reduce her fear of ghosts as much as possible.
Because so many people die every day in Conan's world, and many of them are extremely evil people who commit all sorts of heinous crimes.
Under the influence of mysterious forces, there may be many dead here, who have transformed into evil spirits or similar beings.
If it affects them, Sakura will always have to learn to fight against these things.
They can't live together every day, and Wang Changsheng can't protect Xiaoying all the time; she has to learn to grow up on her own.
"Who is it?" Sakura tilted her head.
She fainted yesterday and was taken away by Yukito, so she knows nothing about what happened between Tomoyo and Wang Changsheng.
"We all know this person."
"Who is it?" Seeing how long-winded Wang Changsheng's words were, Xiao Jian patted Xiao Ying's blanket with a paw and glared at him.
"His name is Natsume Seiyasu." Since Wang Changsheng didn't intend to hide it, he told them his name directly.
"Huh?" Sakura and Tomoyo were both taken aback when they heard the name.
"Natsume Seiyasu?" Keroberos scratched his head and flicked his tail. "Why does that name sound so familiar? I think I've heard one of you mention it before."
"He's Masaki's fiancé," Tomoyo added.
"Oh! Right, he's the shop manager's fiancé. You guys mentioned him to me when you were chatting!" Xiao Ke clapped her hands and nodded in sudden realization.
But then it froze: "That's not right, didn't you say that the shop manager's fiancé already..."
At this point, Keroberos seemed to realize something, and its first reaction was to look at Sakura's expression.
As expected, Sakura's face turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly.
She said, trembling, "Isn't Masaki-neechan's fiancé already...?"
Having already gone through so much, Sakura managed to suppress her fear, swallowed hard, and then looked at Wang Changsheng, saying, "Wasn't he already dead? How come you still see him? Could it be...?"
Seeing her trembling slightly, Wang Changsheng gently patted Xiaoying's hand: "Don't be afraid. Things are indeed much as you think. But Xiaoying, you know the shop manager is a very good person, right?"
This chapter is not finished, please click the next page to continue reading!
"Hmm..." Sakura nodded hesitantly.
Recalling the beautiful, generous, and understanding nature of Manager Masaki, Sakura couldn't deny that she was a good person.
He's a very good person.
They only helped a few times, and most importantly, they helped Store Manager Masaki solve the Clow Card problem without her even knowing it.
Even so, every time Manager Masaki saw them, he would kindly give them small gifts or give them a big discount on what they wanted to buy.
"Then you should know that Manager Masaki said her fiancé is also a good person, right?" Wang Changsheng continued to coax.
"That's right..." Sakura continued to nod.
"If that's the case, even though Natsume Seiyasu, the fiancé of the shopkeeper Masaki I found yesterday, has passed away, he lives on in this world in another way. But that hasn't changed his nature, so he's still a good person. We don't need to be afraid of him, right?"
"It seems...that makes sense..." A faint light flickered in Sakura's dark green eyes, as if she was thinking about something.
Looking at Xiaoying's expression, Wang Changsheng smiled and said, "He came to me yesterday not to hurt me, nor to do anything to me, but to ask me for a favor, a favor concerning his family."
"family?"
These two words seemed to possess some kind of magic, settling in Sakura's heart and instantly diminishing the indescribable fear that lingered around Natsume Seiyasu, who had now become a ghost.
It must be said that these two words carried considerable weight, not only giving Xiaoying courage but also giving the ethereal ghost a more concrete form in Xiaoying's mind.
To be honest, Sakura's fear of ghosts stemmed from when she was younger, when that idiot Touya would constantly whisper in her ear—
There's a ghost here, there's a ghost there, there's a ghost beside you, there's a ghost at your feet...
Since Sakura can't see those ghosts, her image of them is naturally more a mixture of her own imagination and the fragments she saw on TV, creating a terrifying image.
Now she suddenly realized that the ghost could also work hard to protect his family and never leave his fiancée, which made her think of her father and mother.
The power of emotions is immense.
The power of love is also like that.
Family affection is naturally a form of love.
So Sakura felt less fear and more curiosity about Wang Changsheng meeting Natsume Kiyon last night.
She blinked and looked at Wang Changsheng: "Little Wang, what exactly does the shop manager's fiancée want you to do for her?"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Wang Changsheng was taken aback. "Fiancée?"
He gave Sakura a strange look.
What on earth is going on in your little head?
How could they possibly change someone's gender just to overcome their fear?
