Chapter 617: We Are Not Children Anymore

The next day, dawn.

Campus, classroom.

“Good morning, Xia~”

“morning……”

Looking at Xiaoying who entered the classroom and greeted him, Xia Yu was stunned. This sunny smile… Has Xiaoying’s personality returned to normal?
“Not yet, but this way Syaoran won’t get suspicious, right?” Noticing Xia Yu’s stunned expression, Xiaoying seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained with her hands covering her mouth and chuckling.

“Ah this…”

Listening to Xiaoying’s explanation, Xia Yu’s expression gradually became strange. He hadn’t even spoken yet, but Xiaoying could actually guess his thoughts directly?
Sakura with this personality is really scary.

Fortunately, Li Syaoran is the one who is mainly responsible for dealing with Sakura in front of him, and he just needs to be an ordinary spectator on the side.

“Student Xia, please don’t tell Xiaolang secretly.” After sitting back in her seat, Xiaoying winked at Xia Yu again.

“Don’t worry, I’m famous for my tight-lippedness. Besides, it has to be a sudden surprise to be considered a surprise!” Xia Yu grinned and reached out to cover his mouth, indicating that he would never talk nonsense.

Sakura was not surprised to see this. After all, based on her understanding of Xia Yu, it would be strange if he told Syaoran.

What I just said was just a subconscious reminder.

Just as the two of them were chatting, the classroom door was opened again, and Tomoyo came to the classroom carrying her schoolbag.

When Xia Yu, who was originally laughing, saw Zhishi coming, he suddenly stopped laughing.

After all, what happened yesterday, even if he was heartless and shameless, it was only based on the premise that he didn’t care about other people’s eyes.

When he thought about what happened between him and Tomoyo yesterday and the warning that Daidoji Sonomi gave him before leaving, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Damn it, how about he also reverse his personality?

No, this seems to have the opposite effect. After the reversal, he will be worse than he is now.

On the other side, noticing Xia Yu’s strangeness, Zhishi curled the corners of his mouth, first returned to his seat and put down his schoolbag, then suddenly put his hand on Xia Yu’s shoulder.

She leaned close to Xia Yu’s ear and said with a hint of resentment, “Mr. Xia, you were really merciless yesterday.”

“sorry!”

Hearing Zhishi’s words, Xia Yu apologized without thinking, but as soon as he finished his apology, he changed the subject.

“But Chise, you’ve gone a little too far.”

He suddenly raised his hands, pinched Zhishi’s soft cheeks with both hands, pulled them to the sides and said, “Don’t tease me like that again, or I will be rude to you.”

“You’re welcome? Are you trying to be rough with me, Xia Jun?”

Chishi, whose cheek was pulled, not only did not struggle, but instead put her hand on Xia Yu’s hand, then deliberately pursed her lips and made a pitiful expression.

Seeing this expression, Xia Yu’s hands froze and he subconsciously loosened his grip. He twisted his fingertips that still had warmth on them and sighed softly.

“I’m afraid of you. Besides, my aunt warned me before I left yesterday, but I was the passive one…”

“Mom actually warned you? She didn’t tell me anything last night.” Zhishi was a little surprised when he heard this.

Yesterday her mother treated her as usual and didn’t say much to her. She thought her mother’s attitude was to let them do what they wanted.

“Yes, yes, because in her eyes, you are her lovely daughter, how could you be the one who took the initiative?” Xia Yu curled his lips. He clearly saw the truth, but still tried to cover it up.

Well… after all, she is my mother-in-law, so I’d better not complain.

“Is that why Xia Jun was warned by his mother?” Noticing the helplessness in Xia Yu’s tone, Zhishi covered his mouth and laughed.

After laughing, she took Xia Yu’s hand, intertwined her fingers, and said with a smile: “Since you were warned by your mother because of me, next time I will definitely make sure to set the time and ensure that my mother will not disturb us again.”

“Uh-huh!?”

Originally, hearing Zhishi’s tone, it seemed that he wanted to promise that he would never do it again, Xia Yu was about to nod, but the next words made him stunned.

“No, shouldn’t you promise that you will never do it again? What does it mean to promise that you won’t let your aunt disturb us!?” Xia Yu looked in astonishment at Zhishi, who was smiling like a little devil.

In response to Xia Yu’s surprise, Zhi Shi smiled and said, “It means exactly what it says. I’m sure mom will understand.”

No… I think she would kill me before she could understand.

Xia Yu couldn’t help but put on a mask of pain. Seeing Xia Yu showing this expression because of what he had just said, Zhishi couldn’t help laughing in his heart.

That’s right, she said that on purpose.

Who made someone always say that she is a “scheming young lady” from time to time? Since she is a scheming young lady, it’s okay to be scheming occasionally~
“So, did something terrible happen to you yesterday? You were even warned by your aunt.”

Sakura, who had been watching from the side, couldn’t help but ask curiously when she saw that the interaction between Tomoyo and Xia Yu finally came to an end.

Although Xia Yu told her the general situation yesterday, he did not warn her about it.

“Well……”

Sakura’s sudden question made Tomoyo subconsciously turn her head to look, but when she saw the expression on Sakura’s face, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

“Sakura, have you…changed in some way?”

Before, her attention had been on Xia Yu, so she didn’t notice Xiaoying’s situation. Now that she looked at her, she realized that Xiaoying seemed to have changed.

I always feel that the Sakura now is different from the Sakura yesterday, less innocent and more profound.

“As expected, I can’t hide it from Tomoyo.”

Sakura smiled slightly: “Tomoyo, you guessed right, I am still me, but I am no longer the same person I was yesterday.”

“Oh? Sakura, you have made up your mind to use the reversal card?” Thinking about what Sakura said, Tomoyo immediately guessed why Sakura was a little different.

“That’s right. Since I, who is shy, can’t say it, I, who has a strong personality, will do it.”

Sakura stroked her face with one hand, her face slightly flushed as she said, “Besides, I want to take things a step further with Syaoran. We are not children anymore, so just holding hands won’t do.”

“That’s right.”

Chiyo nodded in agreement, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glancing at Xia Yu in front of her, and deliberately said in a voice that the other party could hear: “I didn’t expect that you also think so, Xiaoying. We are indeed not children anymore.”

Xia Yu: “…”

No, I can’t hear anything.

In order to reach adulthood smoothly, Xia Yu decided to ignore Zhishi’s hints. Anyway, it would be impossible to make him take the initiative before he reached adulthood.

……

lunch break.

The morning passed quickly and soon it was time for lunch.

Downstairs in the teaching building, Sakura and the other three sat on the steps on the lawn, preparing to eat lunch together.

However, before eating lunch, Sakura and Syaoran, each with their own concerns, did not open their lunch boxes, but chose to say what they had confirmed first.

“Little Wolf…”

“Daodao Temple…” “Eh?” × 2
The two people who spoke at the same time were both startled and looked at each other subconsciously.

Seeing the surprise in Li Syaoran’s eyes and hearing the other party calling Tomoyo’s name, Sakura immediately guessed something.

It seems that she doesn’t need to push the little wolf anymore, as the little wolf has already figured it out on his own.

Xiaoying, who instantly thought of this, smiled slightly, raised her hand and said, “Xiaolang, you go first.”

“Okay, okay.”

Li Xiaolang heard this and did not refuse. He nodded and looked at Zhishi: “Dadaoji, I agree to your invitation, so…”

At this point, Li Xiaolang was a little embarrassed to speak, but he still suppressed his inner shame and whispered, “How about this weekend?”

“really?”

Zhishi’s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, “I thought you wanted to wait a little longer, Li, but I didn’t expect you to be sure it’s this weekend?”

“Um……”

Li Xiaolang nodded slightly. He really wanted to wait a little longer, but divination told him that this invitation had been delayed to the limit.

If I keep dragging it out, he will be forced to agree for other reasons, so it’s better for me to agree first.

“Okay! Then let’s make sure it’s this weekend. I will definitely prepare the clothes you want to wear. You can look forward to it.”

“…”

If possible, I don’t really want to look forward to it.

Li Xiaolang complained silently in his heart, then turned to look at Xiaoying and said, “Xiaoying, what did you want to say just now?”

“What I want to talk about is also about Tomoyo’s filming.” Sakura’s face flushed, and there was a hint of excitement flashing in the depths of her eyes.

“Also filming?”

Li Syaoran couldn’t help but be stunned. Could it be that the reason he had to agree was because of Sakura?

“Tomoyo also invited me to the photo shoot, but this time I’m going to wear men’s clothes. Tomoyo wants me to do a cross-dressing photo shoot with you.”

At this, Sakura blushed again, but rather than a blush of shyness, the blush on her face looked more like a flush of excitement.

However, only Tomoyo noticed this extremely subtle difference. Among the other two, one secretly sighed in his heart that it was just as expected, while the other was amazed at Sakura’s strong acting skills.

Sakura finished her part and then recalled, “This feels just like a stage play in elementary school. I’ll be the prince and you, Syaoran, will be the princess.”

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang also recalled his performance in the elementary school stage play. He couldn’t help but blush and scratched his cheek with his index finger.

“I didn’t expect you to still remember this, Sakura. It was obviously several years ago.”

Although he still remembered it clearly, it was his dark history. Dark history is a memory that can never be forgotten.

“Haha~ I remember everything about the little wolf clearly from beginning to end.”

Noticing Syaoran’s embarrassment, Sakura couldn’t help but smile, but remembering that Syaoran didn’t know about her personality change at the moment, she quickly restrained her smile and asked in a shy tone.

“Then let’s agree to go to Zhishi’s house to shoot together on the weekend, how about that?”

“Well, I’ve already promised Daidoji, so let’s go together.”

Li Syaoran nodded. Although he was still embarrassed, he couldn’t help but feel excited because Sakura was with him, and Sakura was dressed as a man.

If he thought about it carefully, he didn’t need to be so embarrassed. After all, it wasn’t the first time he wore women’s clothes.

You know, the last time he wore women’s clothes, it was in front of the whole school. This time, there were only a few of them present, so it seemed he could still be relaxed.

Well… as long as that guy doesn’t cause trouble, it’s easy.

Li Xiaolang stole a glance at a guy who was watching the fun and didn’t mind making trouble. Seeing that his expression was normal and he didn’t tease him, he felt a little strange for a moment.

It’s strange that no one laughed at him at this time. Has this person changed his personality?
Although he was a little confused, he would not specifically ask. Who knows what bad things this guy might be up to? Well, he must be vigilant!

Li Xiaolang silently became more alert. This strange silence often indicated that a storm was coming.

With this vigilance, he waited until school was over, and only when he stepped into his own home did he finally let down his guard.

“Huh…it’s amazing that nothing happened.”

Li Xiaolang patted his chest, feeling that he seemed to be looking at people with tinted glasses. Maybe that guy really had changed his character.

While thinking about it, he casually walked towards the living room with his schoolbag, but as soon as he arrived in the living room, he was instantly startled.

“What are you doing…!?”

Looking at the card elves emitting light in the living room, Li Xiaolang was a little dumbfounded.

“Why are you all out? Do you want to get some fresh air?”

Hearing Li Xiaolang’s question, the leading light card and dark card looked at each other, then the dark card walked gracefully to the front of Li Xiaolang, squatted down and smiled.

“We would like to ask you to take us out this weekend. We haven’t seen the master for a long time, and we all want to see the master again.”

“This weekend?” Li Xiaolang frowned slightly.

Seeing his expression, Guangpai at the back also came forward and asked in confusion: “Is it not possible? But didn’t you say yesterday that you would accept some invitation? Won’t the host go?”

“No, Sakura will go…”

“Then why do you look so embarrassed?”

“…”

Because he was going to be forced to change into women’s clothing, he originally just thought that it would be easier since they were present.

But if the card elf also wants to go, then won’t a lot of people surround him and look at him in women’s clothing! ?
Although the card elves are not human, they have their own consciousness and cognition, which is enough to make him feel ashamed!

Li Xiaolang’s face gradually turned red. He really wanted to reject the card elves in front of him, but it would be a bit awkward if he rejected them for his own personal reasons.

Seeing Li Xiaolang’s awkward look, Anpai smiled helplessly and said, “Sorry, did I embarrass you? If you have your own reasons, then we can wait a little longer.”

“I……”

An Pai’s gentleness instantly made Li Xiaolang even more embarrassed. He ignored the line and stammered, “It’s not for any special reason, I’m just a little embarrassed.”

“Embarrassed? Why?”

“…”

Don’t you really want to say what to do?
Li Xiaolang shook his head vigorously, shaking out all the entanglements and difficulties in his heart. He made up his mind and looked at the group of card elves in front of him.

“Then let’s go together this weekend. As for what is making me feel embarrassed, please don’t ask me, okay?”

“?”×N
Hearing this, all the card elves were puzzled, but seeing that Li Xiaolang said so, they had to suppress their doubts.

Anpai nodded and said, “Okay, we won’t ask. Thank you in advance.”

“You’re welcome. We are partners after all.”
