It's just you and me...
At first you were so eye-catching to me when I first set foot in Japan...
You made me always think of your sweet face...
It was unexpected that you were also the one who finally helped me from my slump at that time...
I never imagined I'd be able to come this far to recognize you.. Take care of you for a minute...
What do I really feel?
"What is this feeling?"
...***********...
"So go shopping?" Said the Cherry Blossom.
"ah"
The little wolf was aware of his daydreams.
They also walked the unusual route they passed when returning to the Sakura family home.
Syaoran is a little surprised when Sakura directs their journey towards a path that is not familiar to her.
It's the way to Horikoshi gakuen school.
"Wait first.. This is the road to my school. And today there are still some students who are still stuck in school because the fleet shutlle bis is limited" Syaoran murmured in his heart.
"WATCH!!"
Before anyone recognized him he hurriedly searched for the mask inside his bag.
"It looks like I put it here but there's nothing!"
Syaoran stopped walking and looked for his secret weapon.
"What's the matter Li? You looking for something?" Sakura asked.
"I'm looking for my mask".
"Mask?" Sakura astonishment.
"It looks like there's a lot of air pollution here".Syaoran looks for excuses while covering his nose and mouth.
Sakura turned her head to the right and left, she also looked around her, and she just said in her heart "When here the streets are quiet, vehicles rarely pass by, um oh maybe he's allergic to dust?".
"You can wear mine, it's neutral"
The soft hand held out a black mask to the young master.
"Arigatou..."
Syaoran then put on the mask so that his friends who are still in school do not recognize him.
"waaa. waaa. "the noisy sound of students who are still stuck in the school because they are waiting for the next shutlle bus.
Syaoran tried to relax when passing across the gate of his own school,
"You why Li?" sakura asked as if she felt something strange.
"It's okay, just calm down"
Now Syaoran knows why Sakura passed her school that time, which is when she was going shopping.
On one side Sakura was still looking at the young man next to her, she started to remember there was someone very similar to that young man. "Li was very similar to the guy from Horikoshi back then" his inner self.
But he omitted the prejudice because Li said he attended National High School and not Horikoshi.
After that they passed through the intersection and straight only, walking continuously until it began to sound the voices of many people in the traditional Market.
A Nameplate reading 'Tsukiji Market'.
"We've reached Li"
Sakura parked her bicycle in a bicycle parking area.
"Let's go in" Sakura asked.
Pov Syaoran's
His hand grabbed my hand, invited me into his light world without burden, I also resigned to let this hand grip will be carried wherever he goes...
He took me to a grocery store where I didn't understand anything.
"こんにちは"
Kon'nichiwa(Good afternoon).
Saying politely to a brown unraveling girl is like me, like me,
"As always yes uncle, high protein wheat flour, baking soda, salt, then vital wheat gluten".
This cute girl was mentioning her shopping list to the uncle. I can't take my observation off her. Shown later when I was an adult I also wanted to accompany him like this, like a couple...
"Guah!" I patted my jaw, not believing my wish to wander somewhere.
Sakura looked at me.
"?? is?You dizzy Li?".
"Eh no way"
He was too sensitive to scrutinize my every behavior, Did he also notice me?
.......
受けてください。
"Ukete kudasai" (Please accept) his groceries"
The uncle also handed over a paper bag containing groceries materials belonging to Sakura earlier.
Sakura smiled as she thanked me. But the uncle who looked older than Sakura's father was still looking at the two of us, is something wrong?
"You are a compatible couple" said the uncle.
Sakura and I were shocked by her words,
"T-t-no uncle, he's my friend, we're just friends".
"If only friends where maybe from earlier the hand was not released, hm?"
The uncle pointed towards my hand and Sakura who was still attached to each other.
What???
Sakura and I let go of each other's hands, we were both equally embarrassed and did not dare to look at the uncle.
"Arigatous"
That was all that was said from Sakura's lips.
We continued our shopping mission to the Vegetable kiosk,
"Excuse me Aunt, can you please get me carrots, chives, sesame seeds, nori, hioko mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms, garlic, and miso(a typical Japanese soybean paste)."
Sakura mentioned her other shopping list that sounded like a type of Vegetable.
Next to the vegetable stall there is also a fruit stall that seems very fresh, I also took the initiative to buy fruit for Sakura's parents because they are good to me.
It just so happens that the fruit stall seller is Chinese just like me,
"Hello handsome young man, looking for what?" ask the fruit seller's aunt who seems very friendly.
你好! 我要买水果。有葡萄吗?
"Ziao! Shanghai shuigu. Y ⁇ u puno ma?"
(Hello! I'd like to buy some fruit, Is there any wine?)
"Waaah.. You are apparently Chinese too, don't you be an artist, your face is so familiar" the aunt asked.
"I'm not an artist" I replied. But the aunt still looked at me strangely.
Sakura followed me to the stall next to where I was buying fruit and it seemed that she was a little amazed to see me speaking mandarin, Yap this is my chance to steal her attention.
葡萄酒每磅1770日元
Putojiu mtaii bang 1770 ri yuan.
"1770 yen per pound of wine"
The Chinese aunt mentioned the price of her selling wine.
I was surprised why the price of wine in Japan is so expensive. My allowance alone is not enough to buy this fruit, but I want to give something special to Sakura's parents.
I have to find an idea, Mom just gave me 1000 Yen. It's still lacking to buy that grape.
(Syaoran JPY pocket money 1000 +/- IDR 158623.41 far from Japanese High School pocket money in general about 180-200 Yen only).
那么贵。 可以算便宜一点吗?
Name gui. Caesarean section?
"Very expensive, Can it be cheaper?" I bargained with that narrow-eyed Aunt.
我们的葡萄是最好吃的。 你可以尝一尝。
Wemen de putao shi zuin hao chi de. Thighway chng yi chng.
"Our best. You can try it"
I also told Sakura to try it
"Try"
He took it and put it in his mouth,
.... " It's so sweet, "he said, just like his face I thought.
Sakura seemed to like the grapes. I have to keep getting it!
Hey Aunty just said my face like an artist right, what if I told you that I am actually an artist, haha managed not huh?
I approached the aunt, and I spoke slowly to her.
"My aunt is actually an artist".
The aunt took the phone from her apparon pocket and said, "Just let the aunt say what, take a photo!!".
"eitss wait a minute"
"I'll give my free photo to auntie as long as the wine is okay for me for 1000 yen, how is it?"
I tried (selling my looks) for the first time to give a gift to the girl next to me.
I just looked into the aunt's eyes with my most dazzling gaze.
"Again" the aunt approved my offer.
Sakura was only speechless and astonished because she did not hear my conversation with the wine-selling Aunt earlier.
"Blitz"
One photo with me was exchanged for 770 yen. Doesn't matter.
"It's for you"
"Forku? Arigato".
Sakura accepted it, but she was a little surprised why I was able to get this expensive Wine.
But it doesn't matter, because the girl's happiness brings me peace..
I want to keep seeing him smile...
Always smiling...
The Pov Syaoran end
.........
The two teenagers had finished shopping. They have come out of the market. Syaoran who brought all the groceries, Sometimes Sakura tried to ask one of the bags for her to bring her own so that Syaoran did not mind, but Syaoran refused it. He did not want the Cherry Blossom to feel any more distress, as Sakura used to do when she had to shop alone.
Seriate...
