Chapter 5: Dumplings, Fainted

  Finally, Sunday arrived under someone's eager anticipation, but why does the tennis club still have to train?

  "Hey, Kyosuke-nii, I was thinking of cooking some Chinese food for Grandpa and the others today. Is it okay if I don't go to training?"

  On Sunday morning, a woman stopped the emperor who was about to go practice sword fighting and grabbed his sleeve with tears in her eyes.

  Sanada looked at his Yagyu with a hint of helplessness, who was now staring back at him like a pitiful little dog. How could he not see that she wanted to slack off? But she had indeed been exhausted these past few days, "Ah."

  "Ah, it's great, I can finally take a breather." The woman was so pleased that she forgot the emperor was still there.

  Looking at Yafeng's very satisfied expression, his mood was great, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, but these few points could almost be ignored.

  After getting Masuda's consent, Yafeng changed clothes and ran to buy vegetables with Masuda's daughter.

  After half an hour of consideration, Yafeng decided to make dumplings and wontons. After all, these two things are not very challenging for cooking skills. Since her parents were busy with work from a young age, she learned how to cook early on. Although it wasn't very delicious, it was home-style cooking, and dumplings were something she often made. After all, making one batch could be eaten for many days, the first choice for lazy people.

  After a day of preparation, it was finally time for dinner.

  Everyone in the Tadano family looked at the table of dumplings and the bowl of wontons in front of each person with a few surprises.

  "Was all this done by Masayuki?" asked Lord Sanada.

  "Yes, Father, this girl has been at it since morning and won't even let me help." Makoto Kazuko replied with a faint smile.

  "It smells so good! Yafuu is really amazing." Sasuke said with a face full of admiration.

  "Hehe, then Sosuke should eat more." Yafeng said while stroking Sosuke's head.

  "Ah ah." Sasaki nodded vigorously.

  "Masashi is really amazing, just looking at it makes me think it's delicious." Soichiro also praised.

  "Masayuki Kajiwara didn't introduce us?" said Shinobu Sanada, looking at Masayuki with a gentle gaze.

  "Today I prepared dumplings and wontons, both of which have a meaning of reunion in China and are very Chinese-style foods. Although mine aren't made very well, I hope they can suit everyone's taste."

  "Is it a reunion? That's great! It seems we all need to eat more." said Soichiro.

  "Go ahead and eat." Old Man Tadana's concluding remark, but upon closer inspection, the faint curve of his lips can still be seen.

  Sanada naturally continued to speak in a low tone, but he was also moved by Yafeng's reunion. Otherwise, why would he eat more than usual today? Of course, everyone in the Sanada family ate a lot today, and this was probably their happiest meal recently.

  On Monday, the bento was made by Yafeng who had made a lot of dumplings the day before. But Yafeng is a good kid and she didn't forget her lovely friends, so she also brought them a box of dumplings.

  That's how the rooftop scene appeared at noon that day.

  "Huh? Why did Sanada and Kaze bring three bento boxes today?" asked Piggy classmate, looking at the three bento boxes in Sanada's hand.

  "It's like this, I made a lot of dumplings yesterday, so today I brought an extra box for everyone to try."

  "Wow, did Yafeng make it herself?"

  "Hmm, it's not made very well, I don't know if it suits your taste." Yafeng said as he put the largest bento box in the middle and opened it.

  As soon as they smelled the faint fragrance, Xiaozhu and Xiaohai took the initiative to pounce on them. Each of them sandwiched one and sent it into their mouths.

  "Mmm, it's so delicious." The little pig said vaguely.

  Under their leadership, others also started to move, and everyone was very impressed with Yafeng's cooking skills. In just a few minutes, everything was completely gone.

  "It's really delicious, and the flavor is so great." A certain seaweed praised.

  "Hehe, I didn't expect Yafeng's culinary skills to be so good." The goddess said.

  "Hmph, Yafeng sister is indeed beautiful and skilled." Ren Wang said with a flirtatious glance.

  Yafeng smiled faintly without saying anything, and simply opened her own bento box. However, after eating just one piece, she realized something was off. She looked up to see two pets staring pitifully at her dumplings, their meaning clear. Yafeng couldn't help it - who could resist simple and cute creatures? She took two dumplings from her bowl and gave them to the pair. Seeing their satisfied expressions, she smiled wryly, unaware of how spoiled they were making her.

  Koumura naturally didn't miss this scene, and he deliberately used his elbow to nudge Sanada. Sanada naturally understood the meaning of his old friend's actions, but he still took out two dumplings from his bento box with a hint of reluctance and handed them over to him. Unfortunately, this scene was seen by Yafeng, and the ruthless heroine began to fantasize about various things in her mind.

  "Ya Feng." Little Pig looked at Ya Feng again after eating the two dumplings, and found that Ya Feng was in a daze, so he called out to him.

  Yasaka, who was brought back from his thoughts by Marui, looked at him and saw that expression. He couldn't help but give him two more. Xiao Hai also saw that Xiaozhu had two more and stared at Yasaka with the same eyes.

  Yah Feng saw that there were only four dumplings left in the box and she was hesitant. She had only eaten two, if she gave them to Xiao Hai, she would definitely go hungry, but if she didn't give them to him, she couldn't bear his pitiful expression. Just then, Zhen Tian suddenly spoke up: "Give it to him."

  The little sea slug shrank back without any backbone and started eating its own bento.

  In the afternoon club activities, Yafeng was called by Sanada to practice ball again. Yafeng looked at the Emperor on the other side of the court and felt conflicted. She thought to herself, "I didn't eat enough lunch," "I just ran five laps," "Now I'm very hungry," "I don't have the energy to practice ball anymore." Of course, she didn't dare say any of these words out loud, so she could only seriously receive the ball. However, after several days of training, Yafeng's physical strength had improved significantly. Now running five laps was no problem for her, and her returns were more powerful. Generally, she could accurately return the ball now.

  "Partner, Yafeng has made great progress." Ren Wang said to Ryūsei in a busy tone.

  Yuzuki glanced at the disheveled figure on the tennis court over there, pushed his glasses up, and nodded.

  And on this side, every time Yafeng catches a ball, the pain increases by one point. Slowly, the ball starts to become blurry and unclear, and the ground becomes rugged and uneven. Just as Sanada discovers her abnormality, she faints in front of him.

  "Yafeng." On the side watching Kōmura Ichirō saw Yafeng's abnormality and ran to hold her just before she fell.

  Others also ran over at the first time, and Sanada took over Yasukaze from Yukimura as soon as he ran over.

  "Let's take her to the infirmary, she might have heatstroke," said Yukimura.

  Sanada nodded and walked away with a gentle breeze, his footsteps somewhat disordered.

  "Teacher, could you come and take a look?" Makoto called out to the school doctor who was standing by, looking a bit dazed.

  The school doctor was just startled by Makoto's black face and quickly came to his senses, rushing to the bedside to diagnose Yafeng who had fainted.

  "She just fainted, an intravenous glucose injection will be fine, don't worry." The school doctor said after the diagnosis.

  Sanada let out a sigh of relief.

  "She has low blood sugar, hasn't she been eating well lately?" asked the school doctor.

  Sanada was taken aback at first, but immediately came back to his senses and said: "She didn't eat much for lunch today, but she did eat well at other times."

  "The school doctor was taken aback and said: 'Has she only had one meal that wasn't good? It seems her low blood sugar is very severe, doesn't she know herself?'"

  "Too lax." Sanada's face turned completely black as he said it, but it was unclear whether he was referring to Yagyu or himself.

  "I think it's best if you let her go to the hospital for a check-up, hypoglycemia can be serious." The school doctor said, bringing over a bottle of glucose.

  "Yes," Sanada nodded.

  When Ya Feng woke up, she saw the Emperor sitting straight on her bedside, staring at her, making her little heart thump with anxiety.

  "Are you awake?"

  "Ah, how did I end up here?" Yafeng asked in confusion.

  "You fainted."

  "What?! When did I become so weak?!" Yafeng thought to herself.

  "Do you have low blood sugar?"

  "I don't know, is there?" someone said very innocently.

  Sanada's face turned even darker, and he knew this little girl didn't know anything.

  "Go check tomorrow."

  Looking at Sanada's dark face, Yagyu wisely swallowed back his words.
