Chapter 294 Shi Ying
When Shi Chen saw the little girl all alone in the basement, he breathed a sigh of relief.
They arrived just in time.
If the scene of the little girl being buried by disgusting insects had already occurred, he would definitely regret coming so late.
Having finally arrived in this world, and at this particular time, if we can't save her, it would all have lost its meaning.
Having seen the little girl, Shi Chen no longer needed to worry about alerting her. He no longer needed to conceal his presence and jumped off the stage, landing steadily in front of her.
Suddenly, a person appeared before her. The little girl slowly raised her head to look at him. It was someone she had never seen before, but he was very handsome.
Just like the prince in the fairy tale book.
"Who are you...?" the little girl asked blankly.
Shi Chen frowned as he looked at the little girl's empty eyes, his heart aching. He squatted down to meet her gaze and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."
"Oh...:::::" The little girl remained expressionless, as if she didn't care at all whether the time was a bad person or not.
After all, she had already been abandoned by her own father, and even her mother did not stop her.
After arriving at this place, she was placed in this gloomy and dark place with an unpleasant smell. Her meals were ordinary, and no one cared for her.
Nobody cared about her.
Seeing her seemingly heartbroken expression, Shi Chen reached out with pity and stroked her cheek.
Skin feels cool.
The little girl's name was Sakura, Tohsaka Sakura, but now she should be called Matou Sakura. Toki's impression of her is a little different.
In his memory, she was already a young woman, but now she was still a five or six-year-old girl with black hair, not purple.
They're just as cute.
"Sakura, do you want to leave here?" Shichen asked.
"leave?"
A glimmer of light appeared in Matou Sakura's empty eyes, but it vanished as quickly as it appeared. She shook her head and calmly replied, "No need."
Why?
"It's the same wherever I go. Nobody needs me, nobody cares about me, nobody likes me..."

"How could you think that? You're so cute, how could no one like you?"
"But Dad doesn't want me anymore..."
.
This can only be described as a tragedy of the rules of this world. The Tohsaka family is a family of magicians, and only one person can inherit the family business, but they have two children.
The key is that both children have a talent for magic.
Therefore, the head of the Tohsaka family had no choice but to give his youngest daughter, Sakura Tohsaka, to the Matou family for adoption.
Being adopted by the Matou family is actually not a bad thing, as the Matou family is also a family of mages and has no heir. It's just a pity that the head of the family is no longer normal.
Sakura Tohsaka coming to this family will only lead to tragedy.
The head of the Tohsaka family may not know the situation, and he was forced into this situation by the rules. Tokishi could not say anything, but he was too rational and cold-blooded.
After sending his daughter away, he completely stopped caring about her, showing no concern whatsoever, and was preoccupied with the prosperity of his own family.
Such a person does not deserve to be a father.
Furthermore, the head of the Tohsaka family is named Tohsaka Tokiomi, which is pronounced the same as Tokiomi in Chinese.
This was something Shi Chen found hard to accept.
He didn't know whether he should stop a certain teacher, after all, he was Rin Tohsaka's father.
Forget it, let nature take its course. Life and death are common in this world, it's more important for him to just play with Ilya.
He wants to be a good father.
"It's just that your father doesn't want you. There are other people out there. You're so cute, you're sure to be liked by someone," Shi Chen comforted him.
No, it won't.
Sakura Matou shook her head: "No one could possibly like me."
The experience of just two or three days seemed to have made the girl give up completely.
Born into a family of magicians, she was bound to understand some things, including the cruelty of the world.
She had hoped that coming to the Matou family would lead to a happy life, but she was wrong.
Two days of darkness, a silent and foul-smelling environment, she was so young, with no one to accompany her, and there were even strange noises. Her will was completely destroyed.
"Who said that!" Shi Chen grabbed her shoulders and shouted.
"?" Matou Sakura stared blankly at him.
Shi Chen chuckled softly, "Isn't there one right in front of you?"
"Before my eyes..."
Sakura Matou murmured, staring blankly at Tokiomi: "Are you talking about yourself?"
"Who else could it be but me?"
"Do you like me?"
"I love you so much~ You're so cute."
"Really?" Sakura Matou's eyes lit up.
"I'm not lying to you." Shi Chen's expression was serious.
"Can you prove it to me?"
"Prove it? How do you prove it?"
"I have no idea..
"Let me think... How about this?" Shi Chen said, leaning closer to her and kissing her forehead.
"Huh?" Matou Sakura was stunned, not because she was blank-minded as before, but because she was surprised.
"If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have kissed you, right?" Shichen asked with a smile.
Sakura Matou slowly raised one hand and touched her forehead; the sensation from just now seemed to still linger.
Without any resistance, even though she had just met the man in front of her, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and her whole body seemed to warm up as well.
A light appeared in her eyes.
Do you really like me?
"Wasn't that enough proof?"
"Can you kiss me again?"
"Of course." Shi Chen nodded and then kissed her forehead.
Sakura Matou's face lit up with excitement as she stared intently at Toki, trying to imprint his image in her heart: "You... need me?"
"Yes, I need it!"
"You won't mind?"
Why would I dislike you? I like you too much.
"You won't... abandon me?"
Why did I abandon you? If I could, I would want to keep you by my side forever.
"Can I... stay by your side?"
"Aren't you planning to go home?"
"No!" Sakura Matou said firmly.
"Want to come with me?"
"Yes!" Matou Sakura nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Willing to follow me forever? Even if I'm a bad person?"
"As long as you don't abandon me and don't abandon me."
"it is good."
Shichen pulled Matou Sakura into his arms: "From now on, you'll stay with me."
"Um!"
Feeling the broad, warm embrace, Matou Sakura's nose tingled, her eyes began to moisten, and then tears streamed down her face.
"Screech! Screech!" She couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Cry, have a good cry, I won't let you cry again." Shi Chen gently rubbed her head and said softly.
"Ugh, Sakura Matou couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down her face, soaking his big sweater."
Sakura Matou's cries were loud, echoing throughout the basement, and unsurprisingly, they attracted the attention of the owner.
"Who are you?"
An old, hoarse voice rang out, and Shi Chen looked up and saw who it was.
It was an old man, bald, wearing a dark gray kimono, and holding a wooden cane.
His limbs were as thin as a mummy, and the glint of wings shone from his deep-set eyes. He was a short, hunchbacked man, and his appearance was quite frightening.
Shichen suspected that this guy must have terrified Sakura: "Matou Ranken?"

"You know me? Hmm? You're from the Einzbern family, right?" Matou Ryogen also recognized Toki.
"My name is Shichen."
Shichen said his name and stood up, holding Matou Sakura, who had begun to tremble because of Matou Ryouken's appearance.
"Tokishi...::" Despite her fear, Matou Sakura kept calling out Tokishi's name, determined to remember it forever.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Tokishi patted the back of Matou Sakura's head to comfort her.
"Um!"
"Time? This name doesn't belong to this country, does it?" Matou Ryogen asked, staring at him.
"You don't need to worry about that. Just know that we are enemies."
"Enemy... What are you doing here? The Holy Grail War hasn't even started yet, has it?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What are you going to do to Sakura?"
"Of course we'll take her away."
"Heh~" Matou Ryouken sneered.
"Sakura now belongs to the Matou family. What right do you have to take her away?"
"Sorry, Sakura is mine now, and her name isn't Matou Sakura anymore, it's Toki Sakura."
"Shi Ying..." Shi Ying couldn't help but murmur the name.
"How is it? Do you like it?" Shi Chen asked her, looking down at her.
"I like it!" Shi Ying looked up and smiled brightly.
"That's good."
"Hmph! That's not something you can decide." Matou Ryouken snorted coldly.
"Old man, you can't stop me. I don't want you to die so soon."
"Young man, don't be too confident."
Matou Ryouken waved his cane, and a chattering sound instantly filled the air. Then, countless black insects emerged from all around and hugged Shishi and the others.
"Insect messengers, huh? That's a bit disgusting." Shichen didn't care at all.
"Young man, put down Sakura, and I can let you go."
"Is that so? I don't need you to release me, Zorgen."
"What?"
Matou Ryogen's eyes widened.
