The morning sunlight seeped through the cracks in the curtains, gently sprinkling on Sakura's face. She slowly opened her eyes, the memories of last night with Night Fox at the shrine echoing in her mind like a dream. After getting up, she put on a simple school uniform and tied her shiny black hair into a high ponytail with a red ribbon. In the mirror, her clear, dew-like eyes reflected an indescribable contemplation.
The daily routine at school remained unchanged despite her inner turmoil. Walking along the paths of the campus, Sakura's thoughts were elsewhere. Her gaze was sometimes distant, sometimes determined, as if searching for answers.
At this moment, Ming Jing appeared in her line of sight. Ming Jing was the kind of young man who always wore a gentle smile and had a friendly demeanor, his eyes always filled with a mild passion. He briskly walked up to Little Sakura and asked with a concerned tone, "Little Sakura, you seem to have a lot on your mind lately. What's been bothering you?"
Little Sakura let out a soft sigh, knowing she couldn't hide too much from Ming Jing. So she decided to confide in him a little, without revealing too many secrets. " Ming Jing, I've actually been troubled by some things lately, but I'm not at liberty to share the specific details with you."
Ming Jing nodded, his eyes revealing deep understanding and support. "Little Sakura, even if you don't tell me the details, I will still support you. If you need help, just say the word, and I will do my best to assist you."
Little Sakura's eyes showed a grateful light, she knew Ming Jing genuinely cared for her. "Thank you, Ming Jing. Actually, sometimes I really need someone to listen to me."
In class, Little Sakura's mind still wandered, but the presence of Ming Jing was like a ray of sunshine, brightening her heart. During lunch break, Ming Jing took Little Sakura to the small garden behind the school, their secret hideout.
Ming Jing sat under a tree and took out a thick book he always carried with him. " Little Sakura, take a look at this book I found in the library. It has some methods for managing psychological stress that might help you."
Little Sakura flipped through the book and her eyes gradually brightened. " Ming Jing, you are so thoughtful."
In the following days, Little Sakura began adjusting her mindset according to the methods in the book. She learned how to relax her mood through deep breathing, meditation, and some gentle exercises. These methods did help her, and she felt her mood gradually calming down, giving her more courage to face the future.
Ming Jing often accompanies Little Sakura after school to help her practice these relaxation methods. They do gymnastics together on the playground, meditate together in the garden, and even try some yoga poses together. Although Ming Jing is not very good at these physical activities, he always tries his best to keep up with Little Sakura and occasionally makes them both laugh with his funny antics.
With Ming Jing's help, Little Sakura begins to feel her mood gradually improving. She is grateful for Ming Jing's selfless help and, because of his companionship, she feels more confident.
However, this peaceful period did not last long. One day after school, when Little Sakura was walking home alone, she suddenly felt a sense of impending doom. Her intuition told her that something unusual was about to happen.
She quickened her pace, feeling a sense of tension rising in her heart. Her eyes scanned around, alert to everything in her surroundings. Just then, several dark figures leaped out from the shadows and quickly surrounded her.
Little Sakura was taken aback and immediately pulled out the silver ceremonial knife she carried with her, ready to face any potential danger. The people in the dark were agile, clearly having received special training. Although not skilled in combat, Little Sakura had learned some basic self-defense techniques during her years of training as a shrine maiden.
A tense standoff was imminent. Little Sakura tightly gripped the ceremonial knife, her gaze firm and calm, understanding that she couldn't afford to back down. The figures in the shadows darted around, seemingly looking for an opportunity to strike.
At this critical moment, a familiar figure suddenly appeared by Sakura's side - Night Fox. His movements were swift and graceful, and the black longsword in his hand gleamed with a cold light.
"Sakura, step back," Night Fox's voice was calm and powerful. His eyes carried a sense of determination, while also revealing concern for Sakura.
Sakura understood that this was her only chance, so she immediately stepped back, staying alert. Night Fox swiftly engaged with the dark figures, his swordsmanship skilled and powerful, each swing of his sword accompanied by the howl of the wind, leaving beautiful trails of light in the dark night.
The aftermath of the battle still echoed in the air, briefly breaking the tranquility of the night with flashes of blades and swordlight. Night Fox stood on the slightly trembling grass, his gaze cold as ice. But when he turned to Sakura, a hint of elusive tenderness flickered in his icy eyes.
"Xiao Ying, are you okay?" The voice of Night Fox was deep and powerful, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ying as if searching for any signs of injury.
Xiao Ying smiled slightly, her smile like the sunshine of spring, warm and pure. "I'm fine, thanks to you showing up in time," she said in a relaxed tone, but worry still showed in her eyes.
Night Fox He sighed softly, his gaze shifting away, and the long sword in his hand seemed to be an extension of his emotions, gently falling as he relaxed. "It seems these people are targeting you. Have you gotten into any trouble recently?" His question seemed to stem not only from concern but also from a search for clues to solve the problem.
Sakura frowned, her gaze drifting into the distance as if recalling. "I'm not sure, but I suspect it may be related to some secrets of the shrine." Her voice carried uncertainty but also revealed her curiosity and concern for these secrets.
Night Fox pondered for a moment, his brow furrowed, clearly contemplating something. After a while, he spoke, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. But for now, you need to be more careful. I will strengthen the security of the shrine." His voice was firm, revealing an unmistakable determination.
Sakura felt reassured, knowing that she was at least temporarily safe under Night Fox's protection. "Thank you, Night Fox. I will be more careful as well," her eyes filled with trust and gratitude.
Night Fox nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping the darkness like a keen wolf. After ensuring that there was no one lurking around, he let down his guard. His movements were devoid of any extra expression, but the care hidden beneath his cold exterior was unmistakable.
On the way, Xiao Ying suddenly remembered Ming Jing's kindness. She took out the book about managing psychological stress from her backpack and handed it to Night Fox. "This book was given to me by Ming Jing. It contains some methods for relaxing, which might be helpful to you as well."
Night Fox took the book with a slight smile and said, "Thank you, I will take a look."
The setting sun shone through the kitchen window onto Xiao Ying's face. Her face appeared gentle and determined in the orange light. She shook her head gently, dispersing thoughts of today's events from her mind, and turned her attention to the task at hand.
Sakura began preparing dinner, her movements appearing natural and skilled. She took fresh vegetables and chicken from the refrigerator and started washing and cutting the ingredients. The knife danced skillfully in her hands, slicing the vegetables neatly and handling the chicken cleverly to prepare it for cooking.
As the frying pan heated on the stove, Sakura poured in a suitable amount of oil. Once the oil was hot, she deftly added the cut chicken to the pan. The chicken sizzled in the pan, emitting an enticing aroma. Sakura added some sauce while stirring, her movements unhurried and natural at every step.
Then, she added the chopped vegetables into the pot. The colorful vegetables mixed with the chicken in the pot, and Sakura gently stirred with a spatula. She had a smile on her face, looking very focused, but occasionally a hint of worry would show in her eyes.
At that moment, the kitchen door was gently pushed open, and Night Fox's figure appeared in the doorway. He stood there, watching the busy Sakura, with not much expression on his face, but concern was evident in his eyes.
"Do you need help?" The voice of Night Fox was calm, but it conveyed warmth.
Sakura turned to look at him, showing an innocent smile. "No, I'm almost done. Why don't you go sit in the living room? Dinner will be ready soon."
Night Fox nodded, his gaze lingering on Xiao Ying for an extra second before quietly turning and walking towards the living room.
Dinner was quickly prepared, and Xiao Ying brought the food to the table, filling the air with a delightful aroma. The savory scent of the chicken and the freshness of the vegetables blended perfectly, as if telling them that even in the face of unknown challenges, life could still be so beautiful.
Night Fox sat quietly at the dining table, observing every move of Little Sakura. His face still wore that cold and stern expression, but when Little Sakura brought the food to the table, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"It looks delicious," Night Fox spoke, his voice deep and calm.
Sakura's eyes lit up. "Really? Try it quickly!"
Dinner began in a warm atmosphere. The two of them tasted their food and exchanged occasional words. Sakura's smile was gentle and sincere, while Night Fox, though not very talkative, showed his care through subtle actions. This meal was not just about the taste of the food, but also about the ordinary and genuine moments of happiness in life.
Little Sakura decided to talk to Ming Jing the next day about her troubles. She believed that Ming Jing would give her good advice, as he had always been a good friend to her and one of the people she trusted the most.
The next day, Little Sakura found Ming Jing and they sat down to talk in the school garden. Little Sakura didn't reveal too many details, but she expressed her worries and confusion.
Ming Jing After listening carefully for a while, said, " Little Sakura, no matter what difficulties you encounter, remember that you are not alone. We, your friends, will support you. Sometimes, seeking help from those around you is a way to solve problems."
Little Sakura looked gratefully at Ming Jing, "Thank you, Ming Jing. You are always so optimistic and positive, and you have given me a lot of strength."
Ming Jing Smiling, "This is what I should do. After all, friends should help each other."
