People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 181 could totally be put into "Sakura-chan's Daily Family Ethics"!
After everyone quieted down, Ms. Guanyue continued, "Alright, now we'll follow the staff into the strawberry farm. Everyone will get a basket, or you can use your own. Be careful not to step on the strawberry vines while picking. You can eat the strawberries directly or put them in your basket to take back with you."

After she finished speaking, she led everyone from Youzhi Elementary School into the strawberry farm.

As soon as you enter the gate, you see staff pushing a cart full of bamboo baskets, which are tied with ribbons of different colors and look very exquisite.

"Now I'm handing out the small baskets for picking strawberries. Students from each class, please come and get yours in order. After you get your basket, you can check it first. If there are any damaged ones, you can exchange them for another one."

Ms. Guanyue stood beside the cart, holding a small bamboo basket tied with a blue ribbon, and smiled as she spoke to the students.

The students quickly lined up and took the baskets from Teacher Guanyue one by one.

The bamboo baskets are small and exquisite, with smooth edges that won't hurt your hands. Each basket is tied with a ribbon of a different color to distinguish between classes.

Sakura and the others brought their own baskets, so they only took ribbons and tied them to their baskets. Then, she approached Ye Hui and Tomoyo, her eyes sparkling: "I promised Kero that I would bring back lots of strawberries as a gift for him. He loves sweet things the most! Today I'm going to pick a whole basket full, and I'll pick the biggest and reddest ones!"

At this moment, a staff member wearing a blue farm uniform walked over, holding an activity schedule in his hand. He smiled and said to everyone, "Dear students, you can pick strawberries to your heart's content in the greenhouse this morning. There is a variety introduction at the entrance of each greenhouse. You can choose according to your own preferences."

"At 1 p.m., we will take you to the nearby Strawberry Museum, where you can watch a video about the history of strawberry cultivation and learn about strawberry desserts and dishes, such as strawberry daifuku, strawberry jam, and strawberry cake."

"Most importantly, everyone can use the equipment and materials we've provided to make their own strawberry desserts, and you can even take them home! Please look forward to it!"

"You can even make your own strawberry desserts?!" Sakura practically jumped for joy when she heard this, her eyes shining brightly.

She thought of Snow Rabbit again.

He would be so happy if I could make him some strawberry desserts myself!

"Great! I want to make a strawberry cake!" The surrounding classmates also got excited and started discussing what strawberry-flavored desserts they would make in the afternoon.

"Let's go in quickly! I want to pick strawberries as soon as possible so I'll have time to make desserts this afternoon!" Sakura eagerly grabbed Tomoyo's hand and rushed towards the nearest greenhouse.

But she was running too fast. As soon as she turned around, before she could even see the person in front of her, she bumped her forehead hard into someone with a "thud," and almost dropped the bamboo basket in her hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I wasn't paying attention..." Sakura apologized quickly, rubbing her forehead as she looked up to see who it was.

When she saw the face of the person in front of her clearly, all the remaining words of apology stuck in her throat.

Sakura's eyes widened instantly, her mouth slightly agape in disbelief: "Yukito... Yukito-nii? What are you doing here?!"

Standing before her was the snow rabbit she had been longing for!
He wasn't wearing his usual school uniform today, but instead a light gray casual sweatshirt with a pink apron tied around his neck. The apron had a small strawberry pattern printed on it, making him look more homely and gentle than usual.

"Sakura?" Yukito was taken aback when he saw that it was Sakura who had bumped into him. He then bent down, reached out and gently rubbed Sakura's forehead, which she had bumped. His movements were gentle, and his tone was concerned. "Did it hurt when you bumped into her? It looks red."

Sakura's cheeks instantly burned, turning red all the way to her ears. She quickly waved her hands, her voice stammering, "No...it's okay! It doesn't hurt at all! Don't worry, Yukito-nii!"

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi also came over at this time.

"Good morning, Yukito-san," Tomoyo said first.

"Good morning, Brother Snow Rabbit," Ye Hui greeted in return.

He knew that Sakura would most likely run into Touya and Yukito, who were working part-time, whenever she participated in an off-campus activity.

The business empire these two have been building has probably expanded to the entire town of Tomoeda by now...

They didn't run into Touya last time they went to the hot springs.

"Tomoyo, Ye-kun, good morning." Yukito responded with a smile, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before turning to Sakura. "Touya and I are working here today, responsible for answering everyone's questions about strawberry varieties and tidying up the strawberry vines in the greenhouse."

"Isn't this Sakura? What are you doing here?" A familiar voice came, and Touya walked out of the greenhouse next door, holding a small pair of scissors in his hand. He was also wearing a pink apron, but he tied it rather casually, and the apron strap was crooked to one side.

His gaze first fell on Xiaoying, then turned to Ye Hui, and he curled his lips.

【Kinomoto Touya’s Emotion Value +8】

Tsk, that familiar resentment.

Ye Hui was already used to this, and simply nodded slightly as a greeting.

"Brother! What are you doing here?" Sakura's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Touya.

She completely forgot the part-time job notice that Touya had written on the blackboard before she left home that morning.

Touya glanced at her irritably and tapped her forehead: "Didn't I write it on the blackboard at home? School's out today, and I'm going to work on the farm. You just didn't see it."

"So I came with Touya," Yukito added with a smile, her tone gentle, and she pointed to her apron. "We're here to help tidy up the strawberry vines, introduce the varieties to everyone, and we get to eat strawberries for free. Isn't that a great deal?"

Ye Hui stood to the side, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Based on the appetites of Yukito and Touya.

This strawberry farm might soon be bankrupted by them...

Until today ends.

Farmers must be wondering.

Do these students eat that much?
Have all the strawberries in one greenhouse dried up?

In reality, no one else is needed at all. Snow Rabbit alone can easily handle the strawberries in just one greenhouse.
"Oh, I see. I was in such a rush this morning that I didn't look at the blackboard." Sakura suddenly realized, scratched her head sheepishly, and then leaned closer to Yukito with expectant eyes. "Yukito-nii, don't you also like strawberry dishes or desserts? Like strawberry cake, strawberry daifuku, and the like?"

"Yes, I quite like them, but I can only eat one or two pieces at most, so it always feels like not enough." Yukito nodded, a gentle smile curving her lips, her eyes sincere. "Strawberries are so sweet, whether eaten raw or made into desserts, they're delicious~"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Sakura's eyes instantly lit up like stars. She gripped the small bamboo basket tightly in her hands: "Then I'll try my best to pick lots and lots of strawberries later, and make strawberry desserts by hand this afternoon. Yukito-nii...would you like to try some of mine?"

"Of course I'd love to!" Yukito smiled even more broadly, gently patting Sakura's hair. "I'm really looking forward to Sakura's sweets~"

"Hey! I'm going to pick strawberries now!" Encouraged by Yukito again, Sakura was full of energy and turned around to rush towards the nearest strawberry greenhouse. Her skirt swayed gently with her running, and the bamboo basket in her hand also swayed.

Of course, the single tuft of hair on her head was also twirling and tilting from side to side.

Ye Hui watched her hurried figure disappear into the distance and shook his head helplessly.

"Then we'll take our leave, Touya-nii, Yukito-nii." Tomoyo gave the two a slight bow, polite and proper, then picked up her small basket and quickly followed.

Ye Hui nodded to Touya and Yukito without saying anything more, then turned and followed Tomoyo.

Stepping into the strawberry greenhouse, a sweet aroma mixed with a hint of grass wafts towards you.

The strawberries in the greenhouse are neatly planted in rows, with layers of emerald green leaves. Under the leaves hang bright red strawberries, some still glistening with morning dew, looking plump and tempting. Occasionally, you can also see a few that are half red and half green, but they still have a cute, unripe charm.

Just like the people who are observing them.

"So many strawberries!" Sakura stood in front of the strawberry vines, basket in hand, eyes wide open, momentarily finding it difficult to choose. Every strawberry in front of her looked delicious; some were large, some were red, and she had no idea which one to pick first.

"Which one should I pick?" She crouched down, her fingers hovering lightly above the strawberries, but hesitated to fall. "This one looks so big, the flesh must be very plump, and this one, the color is so red, it should be very sweet... But which one is the best? The strawberries for Snow Rabbit's dessert have to be the best!"

She frowned, looking troubled.

Then, Sakura reached out and carefully touched the reddest-looking strawberry. The skin was smooth and slightly cool to the touch; it looked good.

She touched the largest one next to it, which was a size larger than the previous one, and the seeds on it were more uniform, but the color was not as bright red.

After hesitating for a long time, Sakura still couldn't make up her mind.

The corner of Ye Hui's mouth twitched.

If Sakura weren't the original "Queen of Moe," adorable to an extreme no matter what she did, an adult standing here would hesitate, wanting to pick a bunch of strawberries but holding back.
He would have slapped him long ago.

but!

Sakura did this without any sense of incongruity whatsoever.

On the contrary, Ye Hui felt that it didn't matter which one to pick, there was no need to hesitate at all, just pick it and be done with it. Hesitating back and forth was really tedious.

But when facing Sakura, he couldn't say anything harsh. On the contrary, he could patiently stay by her and Tomoyo's side, just like a patriarch looking at his innocent and lovely daughter.

"Hmm, it seems I've become more mature. Aren't I a complete dad now?" Ye Hui nodded to himself.

"Tomoyo-chan, Ye Hui-kun, come help me!" Sakura turned around and asked the two behind her for help. "Which one should I pick? I think they all taste delicious, I can't choose."

Tomoyo held up the camera, the lens pointed at Sakura squatting in front of the strawberry vine, capturing her frowning, hesitant expression, along with the surrounding lush green leaves and bright red fruit, all within the frame. A gentle smile played on her lips: "I think that as long as Sakura carefully selects them, every single one must be delicious."

"Tomoyo~ You're being too accommodating! I want to pick the best strawberries for Yukito-nii, I can't just pick any strawberry~" Sakura puffed out her cheeks and poked at the skin of a strawberry with her index finger.

Ye Hui walked over to Sakura, squatted down, and lined up with her. Then he gently tapped the stem of a strawberry next to him: "Sakura, there's actually a trick to picking strawberries. It's not just about looking at how big they are or how red they are."

"Sophisticated? What is it?" Sakura immediately turned her head, her dark green eyes filled with curiosity, and even her previously furrowed brows relaxed as she looked intently at Ye Hui, waiting for him to continue.

Ye Hui nodded and pointed to the stem of the strawberry, explaining, "First, you have to look at the stem. You should choose the kind that is dark green and looks fresh and shiny. If the stem is yellow and wilted, it means that the strawberry has been picked for a while and is not fresh."

"Then we can look at the color of the fruit. We should choose those that are red from top to bottom, especially near the stem. If that area is still whitish, it means that it is not fully ripe and may taste a little sour."

"Wow, Ye Huijun knows so much!" Sakura's eyes lit up as she exclaimed admiringly.

How could Ye Huijun be so amazing?

He seems to know everything!

Sri Lanka is number one! Sri Lanka is number one! Sri Lanka is number one!
With Ye Hui's guidance, Xiaoying's previous hesitation has lessened considerably.

"I didn't know I had to look at so many places before. I thought it was enough to just look at the ones that were popular."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Tomoyo also came over and stood beside the two of them, secretly pointing her camera at Ye Hui.

The way he earnestly explained things to Sakura was different from his usual teasing manner; he showed more patience, as if he were...
An elderly father teaching his daughter?
Tomoyo didn't know why such an idea suddenly popped into her head, but she found it very interesting and listened to Ye Hui's speech with great interest. She would also adjust the focus and angle from time to time to make Ye Hui and Sakura look better in the photos.

Ye Hui, unaware of the camera, continued, "And look closely at the tiny seeds on the surface of the strawberry."

He pointed to a strawberry and said, "Look here, if the seeds are embedded in the flesh and the color is dark, it means it's overripe and will taste slightly mushy, not very tasty."

"Choose strawberries with slightly protruding seeds and a light yellow color. These strawberries have just the right amount of sweetness and a crisp texture."

"Oh, I see! I never paid attention to what the seeds looked like before!" Sakura suddenly realized, and immediately began to carefully observe the strawberry vines according to Ye Hui's instructions, gently touching the leaves with her fingers and pulling out the strawberries to examine them closely.

A moment later, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to a strawberry and exclaimed, "This is the kind Ye Huijun was talking about!"

The strawberries were uniform in size, bright red all over, with a bright dark green stem, and the small seeds on the surface were distinct and slightly raised, making them look particularly tempting.

Sakura reached out, pinched the stem of the strawberry, twisted it gently, picked the strawberry, and carefully placed it into her small bamboo basket.

"Hehe, the first one~!" She looked at the lone but perfectly formed strawberry in the basket and smiled contentedly, her eyes narrowing.

Ye Hui also picked a strawberry that met the standard, used his spiritual power to clean off the dirt, and then put it to Xiaoying's lips.

As he moved, the fresh scent of strawberry leaves wafted into Sakura's nostrils.

"Here, have a taste and see if it's the sweetness you wanted," Ye Hui said.

"Huh?" Sakura looked at the strawberry suddenly brought to her lips, her cheeks slowly flushing red. "Um, Ye Hui-kun, you..."

"Eat up, I've washed it clean." Ye Hui didn't pull his hand back, his tone natural.

Sakura blinked, then slightly opened her mouth and took a small bite.

The strawberry juice instantly filled my mouth, its sweet and refreshing taste was cool and refreshing, not sour at all, but rather very sweet and fragrant.

"So delicious!" she mumbled between chews.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +8]

Ye Hui picked an even plumper strawberry, turned around and handed it to Zhi Shi: "Zhi Shi, you should try some too."

Tomoyo looked at the strawberry he offered, did not refuse, lowered her head slightly, and took a bite.

The flesh is crisp and tender, and the juice is sweet and refreshing, without any sourness or astringency.

She looked up, her purple eyes crinkling, and said approvingly, "Yes, it really does taste very sweet. It tastes even better than what I usually buy at the supermarket."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

[You have successfully fed the celestial fruit, imbued with spiritual energy, to Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity! The gentle spiritual energy within the fruit has permeated their bodies, nourishing their meridians and even slightly enhancing their cultivation!]

After mastering the techniques for picking strawberries, Sakura's efficiency improved significantly.

Carrying a small bamboo basket, she nimbly weaved among the strawberry vines, her eyes scanning each strawberry like radar. As soon as she saw one that met her standards, she would pick it and put it in her basket.

"This is huge! And the stem is even dark green!"

"This one is so red, and the seeds are all raised, it must be very sweet!"

She picked them while muttering to herself, looking very excited.

Before long, the basket was filled with a layer of bright red strawberries, which looked extremely tempting.

Tomoyo strolled leisurely, picking strawberries while recording the surrounding scene with her camera.

Sometimes she would aim at Sakura's carefully chosen profile.

Sometimes he would take pictures of strawberry vines, and of course, no matter who he photographed, Ye Hui would always be half a figure or the whole person in the picture frame.

Ye Hui quickly filled his basket with strawberries. Turning around, he saw that Zhi Shi was having some trouble picking strawberries while holding a camera in one hand. So he went over and took the basket from her: "Let me hold it for you. You can focus on filming. Otherwise, you might slip and drop it. It's okay if the camera breaks, but don't let it hit your foot."

Tomoyo paused for a moment, then smiled and nodded, handing him the basket: "Thank you, Ye Huijun."

[Daidouji's mood value +8]

With her hands free, she was able to shoot more freely, and the footage was more stable.

Just as they were happily picking strawberries, a familiar voice came from over: "You're here? Did you pick any delicious strawberries?"

"Brother Yukito!" Sakura heard the voice and immediately ran over with her basket. She then held the basket high in front of Yukito, her face full of anticipation. "Look! I picked these according to Ye Huijun's method. Aren't they big and red?"

"Yes, Sakura is amazing! Every strawberry she picked is so good." Yukito bent down, looking at the plump strawberries in the basket, and praised with a smile, "You can tell she picked them carefully, they're sure to be very sweet~"

Sakura blushed slightly at the compliment, scratched her head a little shyly, but couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, Li Xiaolang also walked out from the strawberry vines on the other side.

When he saw the snow rabbit, he paused for a moment, his fingers unconsciously tightening around the basket handle. Then he silently walked up to the snow rabbit, said nothing, and simply placed his own basket, which was also full of things, in front of the snow rabbit.

"This, this."

Snow Rabbit looked at the basket Li Xiaolang handed her, blinked in surprise, then realized what he meant and smiled gently, "Is this... for me?"

Li Xiaolang's cheeks instantly turned red, the blush spreading from his cheeks all the way to his ears.

He awkwardly looked away at the strawberry vine beside him, then nodded stiffly, his neck tense with embarrassment. "Wow! Li, you picked so many too!" Sakura exclaimed, peeking into Li Xiaolang's basket. "Your strawberries look so good, each one is so red!"

Upon hearing Sakura's voice, Li Xiaolang stiffened even more: "Hmm?"

Snow Rabbit couldn't help but laugh. She reached into Li Xiaolang's basket, picked up a strawberry, and then skillfully took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped it, and took a bite.

The sweet juice spreads in your mouth, with just the right amount of sweetness.

He nodded at Li Xiaolang: "Mmm, it's very sweet and delicious, aragato."

Li Xiaolang's face turned even redder. He lowered his head silently and whispered, "If you like it, then so be it."

Ye Hui stood to the side watching, secretly clicking his tongue in his heart.

The way Li Xiaolang is handing out strawberries doesn't look like he's giving a gift at all.
Isn't this offering tribute?
All that's missing is shouting "Long live the Emperor!"

The classic scene certainly didn't disappoint.

at this time.

Touya strode over, holding an unopened bottle of mineral water. He walked up to Yukito and said familiarly, "Yukito, it's time to rest. Don't stand here all the time. We still need to tidy up the greenhouse in the back later."

Then, without looking at anyone else, he fiercely fixed his gaze on Li Xiaolang: "Why aren't you picking strawberries? What are you doing blocking this place?"

"Mind your own business!" Li Xiaolang raised his head, meeting his gaze without flinching, his fingers tightening around the basket handle, his shoulders tensing as well.

Although he was much shorter than Touya, his imposing presence was in no way inferior.

Their gazes met in mid-air, and the air seemed to thicken with tension.

A historic eye contact between two rivals in love!
Ye Hui stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching the scene unfold with great interest.

He even considered taking out a bag of sunflower seeds from his storage ring to eat while watching the movie, which was much more interesting than movies in the theater.

One is Touya, who values ​​Yukito more than himself and even follows him to work.

One is a secret admirer who idolizes Yukito—even if there's a magical element to this attraction, the current confrontation is still quite interesting.

These two together are like a match made in heaven!

Sakura showed none of Ye Hui's excitement and watched from the sidelines, completely bewildered.

She tugged at Tomoyo's sleeve and whispered, "Tomoyo, what's wrong with my brother and Li? They were fine just now, why are they suddenly staring at each other like that? What are they looking at?"

Tomoyo pursed her lips, then shook her head: "Cough... I don't know, maybe they're discussing something. Let's just not disturb them."

She was still holding a camera in her hand, and secretly recorded the scene.

This rare sight shouldn't be missed.

It could totally be included in "Sakura-chan's Daily Family Ethics"!
Ye Hui's gaze inadvertently swept towards the distance.

At the far end of the strawberry greenhouse, Ms. Guanyue stood holding a document, a mysterious smile on her face, quietly watching this side, and it was unclear how long she had been looking at it.

Oh dear, another one.

This is going to be even more exciting.

However, the snow rabbit arrived just in time.

"Um, let's go rest over there for a bit, Touya. Didn't you say you wanted some water?" Yukito reached out, took the bottle of water, and then grabbed Touya's arm, gently pulling him toward the rest area. "We still need to tidy up the greenhouse later, you said it yourself~ don't stand here."

Although Touya frowned and looked somewhat unwilling, he still followed Yukito's lead and walked forward, but before he left, he didn't forget to glare at Li Xiaolang.

This guy is even more despicable than that brat Ye Hui!

At least Ye Hui can help his younger sister. This guy, on our first meeting, actually stole Xiaoying's things!

A grown man actually tried to snatch something from a little girl; I really wanted to kick him into a strawberry vine.

"Hmm, I really don't understand. Okay, okay, let's not worry about them!" Sakura quickly put the little incident behind her, picked up her strawberry basket, and her eyes lit up again. "Let's keep picking strawberries! I want to pick more so I can make some snacks for Yukito this afternoon. Oh, and Kero too! We need to bring some back for him!"

By noon, the sun was getting hotter, and the greenhouse felt stuffy.

The students, each carrying a basket full of strawberries, arrived at the indoor rest area prepared by the farm.

The rest area has a long table covered with a clean white tablecloth.

Everyone took out their own lunchboxes and placed them on the table.

Sakura opened her pink bento box, and the food inside immediately attracted the attention of the students around her.

The rice was pressed into shapes like strawberries and apples using a mold, and decorated with seaweed. Next to it were neatly cut strips of vegetables and pieces of chicken coated in breadcrumbs and fried.

"Sakura, your bento looks delicious!" Chiharu leaned over to look. "Did you make it yourself?"

"No, Dad made it for me this morning." Sakura chuckled, scratching her head, and picked up a strawberry rice ball, handing it to Chiharu. "Want to try some? It should taste really good, since it was made by my dad~"

At this moment, Tomoyo also opened her lunchbox.

Inside are heart-shaped sandwiches filled with fresh lettuce, tomato, and fried egg.

Next to it was a small box of cherry blossom-shaped jelly. The pink jelly was inlaid with tiny cherry blossoms, and it looked more like a work of art than food.

"Wow, Tomoyo, your cherry blossom jelly is so beautiful!" Naoko's eyes lit up. "If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have the heart to eat it."

"I'm glad you like it. I brought a lot of these jellies. If you like them, you can all try them. Please don't be shy." Tomoyo smiled and pushed the box of jelly towards the center to make it easier for everyone to take some.

Ye Hui's bento box was prepared by the family chef. Although it didn't have any cute designs, it was still quite good.

Braised fish chunks, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a small bowl of steamed egg with foie gras, shrimp, and crab legs—the combination of meat and vegetables was well-balanced, and the aroma was enticing.

A perfect Chinese bento box.

"I'm starting!" Everyone picked up their chopsticks and said in unison.

For a moment, only the faint sounds of eating and occasional conversations remained in the rest area.

"I'm really looking forward to this afternoon's activities." Tomoyo took a small bite of her sandwich and said in a low voice, "We can use the strawberries we picked ourselves to make desserts. It will definitely be very satisfying."

“Yes!” Li Jia nodded in agreement. “I want to make strawberry jam to take home and spread on bread. It will definitely taste better than the ones from the supermarket, since it’s made from strawberries I picked myself!”

"I'm going to make a strawberry cake this afternoon! Then I'll give it to Terada-sensei," Rika said while eating a rice ball.

Upon hearing this, Chiharu glanced at Yamazaki sitting opposite her and said with a smile, "Then I'll give the sweets I made to Yamazaki. It'll be a good opportunity for him to try my new cooking skills."

Yamazaki swallowed the chicken in his mouth. Upon hearing his name, he immediately looked up, then solemnly clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and said in a devout tone, "Then I'll have to pray that after eating Chiharu's sweets, I can still come to school normally tomorrow without a stomachache."

Chiharu's chopsticks clicked as she put them down. Her fist instantly hardened, and she reached out, grabbing Yamazaki by the collar and pulling him towards her. She then shook him back and forth, saying, "Yamazaki! What do you mean! Do you think my sweets are going to be awful?"

"Huh? I didn't mean anything by it." Yamazaki spread his hands innocently. "I was just expressing my sincerest wishes that I can get through this safely."

Pfft~

The students around him couldn't help but laugh.

Childhood sweethearts really do have a great relationship...

at this time.

Naoko suddenly rushed in from outside, her hair a little messy, looking regretful and slightly out of breath: "Did you all hear? I just asked the farm staff, and the itinerary we booked this afternoon might have to be changed!"

"Huh? Change? Why? Didn't we agree to go to the archives this afternoon to make strawberry desserts?" Sakura put down her lunchbox and asked, puzzled.

Naoko walked to the table, picked up her water glass, took a sip, and continued, "I'm not quite sure of the specific reason either. I only heard the staff discussing that the archive that they were supposed to take us to this afternoon suddenly couldn't be opened, and they tried many times without success."

"Can't open it?" Tomoyo put down her sandwich, her brow furrowing slightly. "Is the lock broken? Or is the door stuck by something?"

“It doesn’t seem like the lock is broken.” Naoko shook her head, recalling what the staff had said. “From what they said, the lock is fine, and the key can be inserted, but it just won’t turn, and no matter what we do, we can’t open it. It’s like the door is stuck to something.”

Sakura:
"How could this happen..." Sakura's face fell. "Then... then does that mean I can't make my strawberry dish?"

Is the strawberry dessert she planned to give to Brother Snow Rabbit going to be wasted?
Ye Hui put down his chopsticks and looked at Naoko: "Where is that archive? In which part of the farm is it located?"

“It’s the warehouse we passed on our way to the strawberry greenhouse this morning,” Naoko replied. “It’s painted gray on the outside, and there are a few empty cardboard boxes piled up at the entrance. The staff said that’s the archive, where they keep the equipment and materials for making desserts.”

The warehouse door suddenly won't open?

Upon hearing this, Ye Hui knew the answer in his heart.

It's Clow Cards again.

Moreover, judging from the symptoms of the locked door, it is very likely that it is a lock plate.

He glanced at Sakura and Tomoyo.

Sakura was still upset about not being able to make desserts, and Tomoyo also frowned slightly.

Looks like I'll have to seal the Clow Cards after lunch.

So as not to disappoint the two little ones.

A powerful sealing force shrouded the treasure pavilion ahead! This was a barrier set up by an ancient powerful being to test those destined for greatness. Only the chosen one, bearing the weight of destiny, could break the seal and obtain the treasures within!

The system logs arrived late, but as always, they were unreliable.

"The door can't be opened? I don't believe it!" Sakura suddenly stood up from her seat. "I'll go take a look. Maybe the staff just didn't find the right way."

After saying that, she didn't wait for anyone else to respond, closed the lunchbox, and ran quickly towards the warehouse.

"Sakura! Wait for me!" Seeing this, Tomoyo quickly put down the box she was holding, picked up the camera, and followed.

Ye Hui watched the two figures hurrying away and smiled at the others: "You guys eat first, I'll go with them to check out the situation."

Then, he slowly stood up and followed.

Lock Card, a Clow Card with little offensive power, yet exceptionally annoying.

Its ability is to blockade.

However, dealing with this card is actually quite simple.

Since it's a lock, it naturally needs a key to open it.

The storyline related to this card was gradually emerging in Ye Hui's mind.

In the original storyline, Sakura used her own sealing key to unlock it.

Thinking of this, Ye Hui's lips curved into a smile.

We can now enjoy Sakura's brainstorming session.

Ye Hui and his two companions soon arrived at the warehouse that Naoko had mentioned.

The warehouse door was a heavy, dark blue iron door, the whole thing was gray, and it had an old-fashioned brass lock. Next to it were several empty cardboard boxes with large characters printed on them about strawberry cultivation.

"Is it really impossible to open?" Sakura walked to the door, reached out and pressed her hand against the cold iron door, and asked in confusion.

She pushed forward slightly with a little force.

"Squeak-"

The iron gate actually moved slightly, revealing a small crack.

"Huh?? That's strange. How did the door open?" Sakura was stunned. She turned to look at Tomoyo and Ye Hui with a puzzled look. "Didn't Naoko say earlier that it couldn't be opened?"

Tomoyo walked to the door and looked at the slightly ajar iron gate, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes: "It is indeed strange. Naoko would never lie to us. The staff said they tried many methods but couldn't open it, so there must be some problem. But how come the door can be opened as soon as we come over?"

This lock is meant to lure people in and kill them...

Ye Hui knew very well what was going on.

This is the clever trick behind locking the card.

They deliberately made people think the door could be opened, and then completely sealed it off after they went inside.

This is a classic case of luring someone into a trap!
However, instead of reminding Sakura and Tomoyo, he stepped forward, pushed the iron gate open completely, and said to the two who were still in a daze, "Now that the gate is open, let's go in and take a look. Maybe there's just a small problem with the gate."

"Okay...okay!" Sakura nodded and went in first.

Tomoyo paused for a moment, glanced at Ye Hui's back, and then picked up her camera and followed him inside.

The warehouse was larger than I had imagined.

The skylight at the top lets in plenty of light, illuminating the entire room.

Rows of chairs were neatly arranged in the open space, facing a huge white screen. Next to the screen was a silver projector, and the table next to it was piled with strawberry-shaped molds and boxes of materials.

"It seems everything is set up. The tables, chairs, and dessert-making tools are all arranged." Tomoyo looked around and pointed to the molds on the table. "Look, even the molds for making many desserts are ready."

“Yes, let’s hurry up and tell everyone this good news—” Sakura turned her head.

But she hadn't finished speaking.

"boom!"

Just then, the iron gate behind them slammed shut with a dull thud.

[You have arrived at the Treasure Pavilion with Kinomoto Sakura, a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Root, and Daidouji Tomoyo, a guardian deity. Although this place is shrouded in the power of an ancient seal, Kinomoto Sakura possesses the destiny of the Heavenly Dao, so this seal is meaningless to her!]

[Taking advantage of the moment when Kinomoto Sakura inadvertently triggered the seal, you entered the pavilion. Influenced by her destiny, the ancient artifact, the Lock of Fate, left behind by a powerful being, revealed itself and released its power to seal off space!]

[You have refreshed the character side quest – "The Lock of Destiny"!]

"Why did the door suddenly close? Wait, are we going to be locked up?" Upon hearing the door close, Sakura immediately turned around, ran quickly to the door, and pulled hard on the doorknob, only to find that the entire door did not budge, as if it had been welded shut.

"Ah, I really can't pull it open!" Sakura exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Hmm, it seems like the Clow Cards are causing trouble." Ye Hui walked to her side.

"Clow Cards?" Sakura's panic subsided a little. She looked up at Ye Hui's calm profile. "Ye Hui-kun, is this... is this also the work of the Clow Cards?"
