The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 465 That’s okay
"Three, two, one..."

"Open the pot!"

In the kitchen, Xia Yu was holding a clock and watching the movement of the second hand one second at a time. When the time came, he waved his hand and asked Xiaoying to start cooking.

"is teacher!"

Xiaoying, who had been staring at the clock, immediately stood up and saluted, then turned off the gas on the stove and opened the steamer while wearing gloves.

As the lid was removed, a stream of fragrant steam gushed out. Facing the steam, Sakura subconsciously leaned back, but after smelling the aroma, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

“It smells so good!!”

Xia Yu also sniffed, smelling the aroma and said, "Judging from the smell... it should be fine. Now the only thing missing is the taste."

"Would you like to try it?"

"Of course, any food that needs to be cooked should be eaten while hot for the best texture and flavor."

As he spoke, Xia Yu casually pulled out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Xiaoying, chuckling, "So come and try it."

"Eh? You want me to try it?"

Xiaoying took the chopsticks, tilted her head and asked, "Teacher Xia, don't you want to try it?"

"No, even though I helped you, this is your first time making it. The first person to taste it must do it himself."

"Yes!"

Sakura smiled and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the steamed dumplings in the steamer. After carefully picking up a piece, she held it to her lips and blew on it before putting it into her mouth.

"Delicious!"

After chewing a few bites, a feeling of happiness arose spontaneously. Sakura subconsciously stroked her face with one hand, her face full of happiness.

"It's really delicious. Teacher Xia, you too...eh? Why are you pointing your phone at me?"

Xiaoying, who originally wanted Xia Yu to come and have a taste, blinked in confusion when she saw him suddenly point his phone at her.

"To capture the cute moments, of course."

Xia Yu chuckled and turned the screen of his phone to Xiaoying. On the screen was a photo that had just been taken.

The photo shows Sakura's expression as she is chewing steamed buns. Her face is full of happiness and her cheeks are puffed up, making her as cute as a little rabbit.

Looking at herself in the photo, Xiaoying blushed and couldn't help but cover her face and said, "I'm so shy. Why did you suddenly take a picture of me eating?"

"Because it's really cute. If you don't believe me, you can ask people who have seen this photo."

"Eh? Anyone who has seen this photo?"

Sakura was puzzled. Wasn't this the photo that was just taken? Aren't they the only two people who have seen this photo?

"After taking the photos, I divided them into three parts and sent them to Chiyo, Li Syaoran, and Elio. You can ask them what they think. They are unanimously adorable."

“Ugh—!!!”

After the little incident, Sakura placed the steamed dumplings in the steamer on the plate one by one with a blushing face.

The blushing was not because she was a little hot from cooking, but simply because she was embarrassed. Tomoyo and Elio were fine, but when she thought that Li Syaoran would also see the photo, she couldn't stop feeling shy.

Ding dong——!
Suddenly, the doorbell rang again. Hearing the sound, Sakura hurried over with joy and turned to say to Xia Yu.

"It should be Qiu Sui who is here. I'll go open the door."

When the door opened, I looked outside and saw Akiho waiting at the door.

Noticing that the door was opened, Qiu Sui, who was carrying a shoulder bag and holding a gift box in her hands, quickly looked up and smiled, "Good afternoon."

"welcome."

"It's so late, is it really okay for me to come now?"

"Of course, Dad is at work and my brother is away at the university. Come in, come in."

Facing the enthusiastic Sakura, Akiho was also infected by her and smiled subconsciously: "Sorry to bother you then."

As soon as she walked into the house, before she changed into slippers, Qiu Sui immediately smelled a fragrance. She couldn't help but look towards the source of the fragrance and murmured.

"It smells good."

"Hehe~ Because a great chef came to my house today, you, Akiho, are in for a treat." Sakura laughed and handed the slippers she found to Akiho.

"Chef?"

"Yes, you know him."

"Eh? Do I know him? Who is he?"

Akiho was puzzled. If she had to name a chef she knew, it seemed that the only one was Mr. Kaito.

"You'll find out soon."

Sakura kept it a secret for a while, then took Akiho's hand and walked through the entrance and into the house.

When they arrived at the living room, the chef was already sitting on the sofa, waving at Qiu Sui who came in and said, "Hey, good afternoon, Qiu Sui."

"Xia-san!?"

Qiu Sui looked at it in surprise, then turned her head to look elsewhere, and when she found that there was no one else, she exclaimed in surprise.

"So you are the chef?"

Xia Yu: (￣～￣)
Why does the tone sound a little off?

"Are you doubting me?"

“Ah, no.”

Qiu Sui blushed and shook her head vigorously, waving her hands repeatedly to explain: "It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just a little surprised, I..."

"What are you surprised about? Aren't you still doubting me? No need to explain. Explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the fact. The fact is what really happened!"

"No, I..."

Facing Xia Yu's unreasonable but arrogant shout, Qiu Sui was so anxious that she almost cried. She had no doubts, she was just too surprised.

"Okay, Xia, please stop bullying Qiu Sui with evil intentions."

Seeing Akiho stammering and almost crying after hearing Xia Yu's words, Sakura felt a sense of déjà vu.

It seems like she has been bullied like this before...

Although I have forgotten when it was, this familiar feeling is definitely not wrong.

After saying a few words to Xia Yu, Xiaoying took Qiu Sui's hand and comforted him: "Qi Sui, don't be nervous. Xia Yu is such a bad-hearted person. You don't have to take his words to heart."

"Well……"

Qiu Sui looked over pitifully, she almost cried just now.

After taking two deep breaths to suppress her emotions, Qiu Sui shook her head and quickly raised the gift box in her hand, speaking quickly.

"Um, this is what Mr. Kaito asked me to bring. He said we should enjoy it together."

Looking at the gift box handed over, Sakura took it with surprise: "Can I open it?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Akiho agreed, Sakura immediately opened the gift box, which contained various packaged snacks that looked delicious.

“It looks great!”

“It tastes good too.”

"Really? Let me see."

Xia Yu had come over at some point and was looking at the snacks in the gift box.

But just as he came over, Xiaoying had already closed the gift box and snorted, "Humph, because you, Xia classmate, bullied Qiusui with evil intentions, as a punishment, you will not be able to eat the snacks."

"ah--!?"

Xia Yu looked at Xiaoying in astonishment. Is this still Xiaoying? How could she say such cruel words? Even Qiu Sui subconsciously said, "Well, Xiaoying, I'm not angry. It would be too pitiful to exclude Xia classmate."

"That's it."

Xia Yu nodded quickly. Qiu Sui, the person involved, was not angry at all, so there was no need to punish her.

Looking at Xia Yu and Qiu Sui's reactions, Sakura paused, but couldn't help but burst out laughing and waved her hand.

"Okay, okay, I was just teasing Xia, why would I do something like this and exclude others?"

"It's not time for dinner yet, so come to my room and have some snacks. I also made some iced tea."

Hearing this, Qiu Sui finally felt relieved and nodded and smiled: "Yeah!"

Xia Yu looked at Sakura with surprise. Is this still the innocent Sakura he knew?

Damn it, who on earth influenced Sakura to be like this! ?

What? It's me, that's fine.

A few minutes later, in Sakura's room.

"Sorry for the wait."

Looking at the two people waiting inside the house, Sakura smiled apologetically and walked in with a glass pot of iced black tea.

"No, no." Qiu Sui shook her head repeatedly, looking a little nervous.

Xia Yu was not at all restrained. After all, he and Xiaoying were quite familiar with each other, and it was not the first time for him to come to the room.

"By the way, I mixed carbonated water in the black tea. Akiho, can you drink carbonated water?"

While pouring the iced tea into the cup, Sakura looked at Akiho and asked. As for Xia Yu, she didn't ask. After all, she and Xia were very familiar with each other and naturally knew his taste.

"I can."

"Okay, let's try it."

"Thank you."

The two girls were chatting harmoniously there, but Xia Yu did not join in. He picked up a piece of biscuit and tasted it. He seemed to have thought of something, and he curled his lips, picked up a piece of biscuit and moved it closer to the drawer under Xiaoying's desk.

Looking at the gap between the drawers that were quietly opened and the sight that seemed real, the smile on his face became even more delightful.

"Oh, it's a wonderful thing to eat more snacks. They are sweet and crunchy and taste really good."

Xiao Ke:
Who are you showing it to?

Looking at Xia Yu's satisfied expression, Xiao Ke gritted his teeth and whispered, "Hey, Xia boy, secretly give me a taste!"

"Huh? It seems like someone is talking. It must be an illusion."

Xia Yu stretched out his little finger to clean his ear, then threw the biscuit in his hand into his mouth again and started chewing it with a crunching sound.

"What a shame, we can look at it but not eat it, what a shame."

Xiaoke: "..."

hateful!

A real man can bend and stretch, it's just a piece of biscuit...

"Master Xia Yu, I was wrong. Please give me some cookies!"

Xiaoke slid to his knees very quickly. After all, the world is big, and snacks are the biggest. If he can eat snacks, nothing else matters.

Looking at Xiaoke's skillful prostration, Xia Yu shook his head. The only powerful sealed beast that could survive like this could be Xiaoke.

But he admired Xiaoke very much. After all, Xiaoke really put his life philosophy into practice: living is just to eat!
"Here, here, eat slowly and don't choke."

While Sakura and Akiho were still chatting, Xia Yu grabbed a handful of biscuits at lightning speed and stuffed them into the drawer.

"Oh! Thank you, Lord Xia Yu, for your kindness!"

Looking at the cookies that almost filled the drawer, Xiaoke's eyes lit up. He thanked Xia Yu without any restraint, and then instantly focused all his attention on the cookies.

On the other side, Sakura and Akiho's chat also came to an end. After looking at Sakura's previous stage play photos, the two agreed to look at photos of Akiho wearing a dress together in the future.

Soon, the three of them left the room and returned to the kitchen, leaving Xiaoke alone who was still eating snacks in the drawer.

But without anyone noticing, a fluffy ball that looked like a bubble and was flashing with strange light suddenly floated out from Sakura's bed.

After the bubbles floated out, they swayed along the corridor towards the downstairs.

kitchen.

Since the shrimp dumplings were just a side dish at best, Sakura cooked the stew again, made a salad, and cut the bread her father had made that morning.

While the stew was finishing, Sakura scooped out a bowl and handed it to Xia Yu who was sitting at the dining table.

"Here, Xia, this is your portion. I didn't add onions because you don't like onions."

"You actually still remember that I don't like onions? That's thoughtful." Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, walked over, took the bowl handed to him, and replied with a chuckle.

"Hehe~ After all, everyone has something they don't like to eat."

Sakura giggled, turned her head and looked at Akiho and asked, "By the way, Akiho, can you eat onions?"

"Ah, I like it very much."

"So is there anything you hate to eat?"

"There's nothing particularly annoying, except that..."

"Only?"

"I can't eat konjac. There's nothing wrong with konjac, but the texture is just..."

Having said this, Akiho couldn't help but tremble and looked very embarrassed, but when Sakura heard this, she seemed to have found a confidant and quickly replied.

"Me too, I can't eat konjac either, and Little Wolf doesn't like it either!"

"Eh? So you guys don't like it?"

Qiu Sui looked at it in surprise. She thought she was the only one like this, but at this moment, a voice of objection was heard.

"I have objections. Konjac is so delicious!"

"Eh?"

"Huh?"

The sudden interruption interrupted the two girls who were sympathizing with each other. Xia Yu, who was standing next to her, was holding her stew without onions and raised her hand to indicate that she had something to say.

"The best thing about konjac is its smooth texture, especially the sour radish fried konjac, which goes well with rice and is also appetizing."

"what--"

"Uh-huh——"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two girls looked at him with amazement, as if they were looking at some rare creature.

Xia Yu: "..."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Sakura was the first to come to her senses. She strode up to Akiho and grabbed her hand.

"That's right, so we don't need to worry at all. Even if we can't eat konjac, people like Xia who love konjac will help us eat it."

In response to Xiaoying's words, Qiusui subconsciously looked at Xia Yu and said in a trembling voice: "Then I'll trouble you, Xia, to help us eat more konjac."

"Yes, thank you for your help, Xia-san!"

Xia Yu: "..."

Never mind, since Sakura specifically remembered that he didn't eat onions, he wouldn't complain this time.

　By the way, did Xia Yu bully Xiaoying like this? I seem to have written it, but I forgot where I wrote it. Emmm, I just remember this impression.
