The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 469: I can’t learn mathematics even if I try hard
The next day, campus.

"So you got a new card?"

The familiar flowery aisle, the familiar group of four.

Looking at the sleepy card and maze card that Sakura took out, Li Syaoran, who had no idea what happened yesterday, frowned slightly.

Zhishi didn't have any doubts because she saw the message Xia Yu sent her on her mobile phone last night, which talked about the two new cards.

"Well, these two cards were obtained at home. Fortunately, Akiho was affected by the sleepy card and fell asleep at that time, otherwise Akiho would definitely find out about the cards."

At this point, Xiaoying turned to look at Xia Yu and thanked him: "It is also thanks to Xia Yu's help in solving the problem of the maze space, otherwise this sleepy card might not be so easy to catch. Thank you."

"It takes a little effort, but it doesn't matter."

Xia Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to care. Li Xiaolang looked over and said, "No, your help is very important. Thank you for your help yesterday."

"Hmm? It's so rare to hear the word thank you from you."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

What does this mean? He is not an ungrateful person who does not want to repay his kindness.

Not bothering to pay attention to Xia Yu's squeeze, Li Xiaolang looked at Xiaoying again and said, "If there is still time, if there is another card, you must tell me."

"Me too, Sakura, you must tell me."

Tomoyo also spoke at this time, stroking his face with one hand with some regret, saying: "Yesterday was a grand scene of two cards being captured at the same time, but I was unable to film it myself. What a pity."

Rather than watching recorded videos, she prefers the process of recording them personally; that sense of participation is the most important.

"Okay, I'll make sure to keep you informed as much as possible."

Sakura looked at the people in front of her with a smile. These were the people who cared about her. Even if it was just for the people around her, she would try her best!

……

"We will use equations in the future, so everyone should remember them well. The first thing is the equation..."

Looking at what the teacher wrote on the blackboard, Sakura took notes in a daze, feeling like she was listening to a mystery.

No matter how hard I try, I still can’t do math.

Even in English, I can remember English words by rote memorization, but there is no way to remember math. I can't solve the same type of math problems by rote memorization.

"So, why is there such a subject as mathematics? It's really too difficult."

Lunch time, on the lawn.

Sakura was crying to her friends about the pain of learning mathematics, which was not something that could be learned by hard work.

"Yeah, I also find math a bit difficult, but when I solve a very difficult math problem, I feel a sense of pride and accomplishment." Naoko replied with a smile.

Xia Yu, who was standing by, shook his head when he heard this and said, "But compared to the sense of accomplishment, I felt more frustrated when doing math problems because I couldn't understand them at all."

"Eh? Is math class also difficult for Xia?"

"No, maybe it was difficult before, but now I have been reborn. No matter how difficult the math problem is, it is just like 1+1=2 in my eyes."

This is the confidence that the system brings him. Looking back on the time when he was studying mathematics in junior high school, inequalities, radicals, quadratic equations, etc. were simply torture.

But now, he can pat his chest and say confidently, Math is so simple, how come you can't do it?

If he didn't already have a girlfriend, he would even want to say to everyone, "It would be great if love were as simple as mathematics."

"But classmate Xia's math grades were not bad in the past, right?"

Naoko was a little confused. Why did she say it was difficult before? Chiyo understood what Xia Yu meant and couldn't help but chuckle.

Xiaoying looked at Xia Yu's confident look and said with envy, "That's great! I wish I could understand math problems at a glance."

"You can ask your brother for advice. He should have good grades, right?"

Xia Yu casually suggested that although Touya had a dark complexion and looked like a dark-skinned athlete, since he had a father named Fujitaka who was a university professor, his grades should not be too bad.

Well...Sakura is an exception.

Sakura had no idea that Xia Yu was maliciously slandering her in his heart at this moment, and when she heard this suggestion, she thought about the result of asking her brother for advice.

Well... I will definitely be ridiculed by my brother for being a monster and not being able to do even simple math problems.

Even though he would definitely give her some guidance after the taunting, Sakura couldn't help but feel a little angry when she thought of her brother's smug face.

Damn it, she would never ask her annoying brother for advice until the last minute.

Seeing the mental activity that was almost written on Sakura's face, Tomoyo smiled and said, "Sakura, if you have any questions, you can come to me."

Hearing this suddenly, Sakura was immediately moved and looked over: "Tomoyo..."

"What are you guys talking about? It's so lively."

Not far away, Yamazaki and Li Xiaolang walked over while waving and greeting.

"We are late, sorry." When they got closer, the honest boy Li Xiaolang apologized seriously.

The others smiled and said it was okay. After the two latecomers sat down, Sakura looked at them and said, "We are talking about math. Math is really difficult."

Li Xiaolang heard this and smiled: "Really? I think mathematics is very interesting. I like this subject very much." "Huh!?"

Sakura looked at it in surprise. Is there really anyone who likes the subject of mathematics?

Facing Sakura's surprised gaze, Li Syaoran said gently: "If you have math problems that you can't solve, you can come to me and I will explain them to you carefully."

"Okay, okay..."

Sakura blushed and lowered her head, imagining Li Syaoran explaining the questions to her seriously, and her face couldn't help but turn even redder.

When Zhishi saw this scene, he felt a little emotional. If he had known this earlier, he would not have said that he could come to find her.

In addition, neither she nor Xia Yu seemed to have any subjects that they didn't know how to solve. It was a pity that they couldn't help each other with the subjects they didn't know how to solve in this way.

"By the way, speaking of mathematics, do you know that Carl Friedrich Gauss, the prince of mathematics, showed his talent in childhood?"

Suddenly, Yamazaki raised his index finger and started telling a story about mathematics. Others looked over curiously, staring intently.

"One of the most famous anecdotes happened when he was a primary school student, when his math teacher issued a calculation task to find the sum of consecutive integers from 1 to 100."

"The teacher thought this calculation task would take a long time, but to everyone's surprise, Gauss, who was only seven years old, wrote down the correct answer 5050 almost immediately."

“他的解题方法是1和100相加是101，2和99相加也是101，以此类推，最终会有50对这样的组合，因此总和就是50乘以101。”

"It is said that this discovery of Gauss was the beginning of his mathematical genius and also demonstrated an important feature of mathematics, the search for patterns."

After listening to Yamazaki's popular science, Chiharu, who had been ready to refute, blinked and found that there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"Strange, there doesn't seem to be anything to complain about."

"Because there is indeed such a story, and there is nothing wrong with the rules in it. Yamazaki, you actually took it seriously and popularized it?"

Xia Yu looked at it in surprise. He thought that the story would at least have a half-true and half-false ending, but it turned out that there was nothing wrong with the whole story.

Kozakura, Syaoran, and Akiho, who listened attentively, had the same expression, clenched their fists, and looked full of longing.

"Oh! It turns out there are such interesting stories in mathematics."

"Gauss is amazing!"

"That's right!"

Facing the astonished and incredulous gazes of the crowd, Yamazaki crossed his arms over his chest and chuckled triumphantly.

Then he raised his index finger and explained, "I just want to catch you off guard. When you think I'm going to lie, I'm actually telling the truth."

Looking at the smug Yamazaki, Chiharu waved her hands in dissatisfaction: "I feel so bad, but you are just a stinky Yamazaki, so don't tell the truth."

"Ahahahaha——"

……

Afternoon, school time.

on the way home.

In the original group of four, Akiho joined as they were going the same way, making it a group of five.

Looking at the people on the same road, Li Xiaolang, who had no club activities, asked in confusion: "Don't you have to participate in club activities today?"

"Well, cheerleading is on break."

"The same goes for the choir club. The piano needs to be tuned, and there will be a joint concert with other middle schools next month. The teacher has gone to discuss this matter."

"The literature club teacher is away at a meeting, so we're taking a break too."

"I don't have a club. Damn, such a short-sighted teacher."

Xia Yu curled his lips. Although he was not a petty person, why did the teacher disagree with his Far Eastern Magic Daytime Nap Society? The teacher just had no vision.

It seems that this club can never become an official club, either in another work or here.

"Xia, it is not good to secretly comment on the teacher in private."

Akiho whispered, looking around in case a teacher suddenly appeared and heard the comment.

"Ms. Akiho."

But at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. When Qiu Sui heard that it was her own name being called, she was startled and looked over nervously.

When she saw that it was Kaito who called her, she couldn't help but pat her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I was so scared, it turned out to be Mr. Kaito, I thought it was the teacher who suddenly appeared."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Kaito was puzzled, but Qiusui waved her hands and said, "No, nothing. Why is Mr. Kaito here?"

"I just finished shopping and was on my way back."

After Kaito explained, he looked at the people in front of him and smiled: "Hello, everyone."

　Whether it is love or mathematics, they are both unattainable goals (ノへ￣、)
　　I want a system too, damn it! Even if it's a Chuunibyou system like Xia Yu, I'm willing to do it...
