Higashino Hibiki held the letter with disdain, then slowly opened it. It read:

"I apologize for writing this letter so abruptly."

"When I was little, I admired you, Xiaoqian. Your lively figure is always in my mind."

"I hope we can talk alone in the classroom after school."

—Tsuna.

"How was it! How was it!"

After Higashino finished reading the letter, a head lolled close to his face, eyes shining. "It's a love letter, isn't it!"

"Oh, I really am charming, it's so frustrating."

Higashino Hibiki, expressionless, pressed Nakajima Akane's head and turned it in another direction.

He then stood up and took two steps back.

"Teacher, you're so mean!" Akane Nakajima complained.

Higashino Hibiki ignored her, and after exchanging a glance with Akemi Akimiya, Akemi Akimiya said gently, "Akane, what do you think? Do you want to say yes?"

Akane Nakajima hesitated, unable to understand her own feelings.

After a long pause, she said, "I want to maintain our current relationship."

……

A week later, at Akane Nakajima's house, the second episode of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" aired.

Tsuna sat on the edge of the sofa with a stern face; he still came.

On the day of his confession, he waited in the classroom for a long time. The sun was about to set, and the room was bathed in a dim, yellowish light.

He was holding the dolphin bracelet up to the sun, looking at it through the light.

At this moment, his mind was as calm as a mirror, and he waited patiently.

Another half hour passed, and Akane Nakajima finally arrived.

Before Tsuna could even express his feelings after entering the classroom, Akane Nakajima walked up to him and kicked him hard in the right leg.

"This is the price you pay for toying with me."

"'I've admired you since I was little' and 'your lively figure,' does that mean you've been eyeing my throne as the leader of the kids since you were a child? Are you saying I'm too much of an eyesore?"

"And also, arranging to meet in the classroom, is he planning to duel me? That damn Tsuna!"

"Huh?" Tsuna looked up in surprise, wondering why Akane Nakajima would interpret it that way.

But he had lost his courage and lowered his head in dejection.

"Your dolphin bracelet is so cute, consider it a gift to make up for what you did to me!"

Akane Nakajima took the dolphin bracelet, and it fit her wrist perfectly. She glanced at it and nodded in satisfaction.

"I forgive you," she said with a snort to the bewildered Tsuna. "You absolutely have to come to the second episode of Anohana."

……

Tsuna is completely confused now—

Does Xiaoxi really understand?

So he had no choice but to come here again.

I've expressed my feelings, and that's enough.

Although he had some doubts, his worries disappeared, and he felt relaxed, watching the animation intently.

……

The second episode of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" revealed more information, and time has indeed begun to flow again.

Hisakawa Tetsudo believes that Mei's wish is to collect ultra-rare Pokémon.

This Pokémon requires online trading.

This is why Jinta Yadomi, Tetsudo Hisakawa, and Naruko Anjo are linked together again.

Anjou Naruko is easily influenced by others. When she was a child, she imitated Mei's style of dress, and now she is imitating the delinquent girls.

They started to fall into depravity.

She also had feelings for Jinta Yakumi.

So when she was little, she asked, "Jinta, you like Meima, right?"

This is believed to have indirectly led to the death of the buds.

She has always regretted it, and this incident has remained a shadow over her life.

Collecting ultra-rare Pokémon for Meima became the beginning of Anjou Naruko's liberation.

……

"Just as Teacher Toriakino said," Tsuna muttered to himself, "This is a very healing story, and also a story about redemption."

He was deeply moved.

The others didn't seem to care. Xiaohui asked Nakajima Akane, "Have you asked Mr. Tori Akino? Would he be willing to meet with us?"

Akane Nakajima, who was engrossed in the anime, froze, realizing she had forgotten.

Because of Tsuna's confession, he put the whole thing out of his mind.

"Next time definitely!"

She ran away, shouting as she ran.

"That wretched Akane!"

The others gave chase.

……

"Damn Nakajima!"

Tsubasa returned to her neighborhood and continued to complain loudly.

He still holds a grudge about the embarrassment that Akane Nakajima caused him last week.

He pushed open the gate and saw a Yamaha motorcycle in the yard.

"Brother is back!"

Mian Tianyi's eyes lit up, and she forgot her earlier dissatisfaction, excitedly running home.

His older brother is a member of Japan's U-17 team, which is quite remarkable!

Although the older brother lost to the Chinese team before, his strength is among the top in Japan.

He greatly admired his elder brother.

She ran to the living room with a "thump, thump, thump!"

Tsubasa saw her older brother, Tetsuya Tsubasa, sitting in the living room, watching TV intently.

He rushed over, wanting to throw himself into his brother's arms.

But when I glanced at the TV out of the corner of my eye, I saw that my brother was watching something very seriously—

"Unheard of the Flower's Name?"

Chapter 220 Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix

"Xiaoyi, you're back."

When Tetsuya Mian Tian saw his younger brother run over and then freeze in place, he called out to him.

"Big brother," Tsubasa Miantian asked, snapping out of her reverie, "Are you reading 'Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day'?"

“Of course… what else?” Tatsuya looked at him strangely.

Tsubasa Mian Tian gave an awkward laugh, "Haha."

"This animation is very interesting, the art style is great, and there are many details. There's always a layer of mystery in the plot that keeps me very curious," said Tetsuya Kameda after introducing the show. "It's a pity this episode is ending soon; let's watch it together next time."

At this point, he suddenly remembered.

The story just now showed that Jinta and his friends collected rare Pokémon, which means that Mei's dream has come true.

Is he about to become a Buddha?

Mian Tian Tetsu quickly turned to the TV and said, "Hey, don't distract me, that was the most important part of the story!"

On TV, Jinta, Naruko Anjo, and Tetsudou Hisakawa are embracing each other, and Mema is also smiling.

This wasn't what she wanted, but she was happy that her three companions had become good friends again.

"I knew it," Tatsumi Matsuda sighed. "But as long as there's something to gain, it's not bad."

Watching the buds hopping and skipping around, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Compared to her mischievous younger brother, Meima from the anime is much more sensible.

He stretched and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

Tsubasa Mian nodded.

After Tetsuya Kameda left, he watched the ending theme of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day," thinking, "My brother watched the anime as soon as he got home..."

Is Anohana really that appealing?

This is his older brother, who is also a U-17 athlete.

He doesn't understand.

……

Two more weeks passed, and several children came to Hibiki Higashino's studio.

They were Akane Nakajima's playmates, and as soon as they entered the work room, they opened their mouths wide in surprise.

"That's Sai!"
