The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 542 Extra: Along the Way

Although it is remote, it is not so far away that there is no one living there. After a two or three hour drive, we are away from the bustling big city and arrive at a small town.

They were silent all the way. When he stepped back into this familiar land, Xia Yu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"arrive."

"Is this the place where Xia Jun first came to this world?"

Chishi looked around curiously. Compared to the bustling big city before, this place was much quieter.

What surrounds it on all sides are not magnificent skyscrapers, but endless green mountains.

There were few sounds of car horns around, mostly birds singing and wind sounds. Even the air was filled with the smell of soil and grass.

Although they are in the same area, they give people completely different feelings.

"Yes, it is not only my first stop when I first arrived in this world, but also the hometown of my previous world."

"home……"

Chise kept repeating this word, feeling that it carried a very heavy emotion.

She thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Then here..."

"No."

As if he had already anticipated what Zhishi was going to ask, Xia Yu had already shaken his head in advance.

"Nothing. That's why I said there is no trace of my existence in this world. It's similar but different. After all, how can there be two leaves that are exactly the same? Not to mention the world."

"..."

After these words were spoken, Chise, who wanted to ask a question, found her words stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth, but finally fell silent.

comfort?

She has not had that experience, so the comfort she can offer can only be dry words. Even if she puts herself in the other person's shoes, it is impossible for her to truly empathize with them.

Noticing Zhishi's silence, Xia Yu reached out and rubbed his head, chuckled and said, "I've been disappointed a long time ago, so now all I have to do is be calm. Don't worry about me, it's just..."

Xia Yu looked at the mountains and the town in front of him and sighed: "Every time I see this familiar scenery, I still think of some past events."

He thought he had forgotten it long ago, but when he saw the familiar scenery, vague fragments of memory would still emerge.

There are no specific details or images, only fragmentary impressions flashing through my mind, but just an impression is enough to make me miss it.

It wasn't that he felt lonely, he just couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Just like when you grow up, you can't help but miss your childhood that you can never go back to. It's not that you really want to go back, you just miss the past you once had.

"Come on, I'll show you around here."

Xia Yu chuckled, breaking the somewhat stuffy atmosphere, took Zhishi's hand and walked into the town.

Before getting off the car, he had told the driver that he and Tomoyo would go back after they finished shopping. The town was not big, and they were just here to take a look and would not stay here.

"This town has never changed in my memory, whether it is the world of the past or the world of today. It's like time has lost its effect here."

Xia Yu took Zhi Shi along the stone road, looking here and there. Everywhere they looked, they saw stone houses, stone roads, bluestone walls...

It is like entering a world of stone. The town is built along the river and against the mountain, so the building materials are also adapted to local conditions, and most of the stones used are from the river.

Because the town is not big, it is not as crowded as in big cities. People who live here are leisurely and relaxed.

Most people just glanced at the two children who suddenly appeared here and then looked away.

Although he looks unfamiliar, his comfortable posture and smile make him look like a lost child, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

Maybe the adult is following behind.

Walking and strolling, Xia Yu took Zhishi straight through the town and came to a more remote hillside nearby.

Following the path up the hillside, it didn't take long for the two to reach the top of the hill. Standing there, they could see the entire town.

"It's right here. I was lying here when I opened my eyes."

Xia Yu walked a few steps into the grove and came to a crooked tree. He didn't mind the dirt on the ground, so he crossed his legs and sat on the ground. Then he reached out and patted the place beside him.

"I was sleeping at home the day before, and when I woke up and opened my eyes, I was here."

At this point, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "And my body changed back to my childhood appearance, but my clothes didn't change, so I was wearing baggy clothes at the time, like a homeless child."

"Speaking of this, I think no one can understand better than me what Kudo Shinichi was thinking when he woke up after being drugged and shrunk in size, haha."

Listening to Xia Yu's joke, Zhishi wanted to laugh along, but he just couldn't.

She just followed Xia Yu's words and imagined what happened here a few years ago, a little child in loose clothes, looking around in panic.

Well...it’s not quite right to say that it’s a child. After all, it’s just a child’s body, not a child’s cognition.

Zhishi walked over, also without feeling disgusted by the dirt, and sat down next to Xia Yu.

She leaned on Xia Yu's shoulder and asked, "Was it magic that brought you here?"

"I don't know. After all, I just took a nap. I didn't get any electric shock or any luck, let alone the ancient mysterious jade pendant or the family heirloom."

Zhishi didn't understand this answer. She could only simply understand that Xia Yu didn't know why she came here. She turned and asked, "Have you ever thought about going back?"

"It's impossible to say that I haven't thought about it at all."

Xia Yu's eyes were dazed, staring blankly at the familiar scenery in front of him. That was the first scenery he saw after coming to this world.

But soon, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Chise who was leaning on his shoulder.

"But that was only before I met you. After all, in the first few years after I came here, I had no attachments at all."

"now what?"

"Asking knowingly."

Xia Yu smiled. Now... even if he could go back now, what would happen? He might still look at the moon and miss everything that happened here, and then try his best to come back here.

"I won't go back, even if I have the chance, I won't go back."

The past is the past after all. To him, what is happening now is real and worth his attention.

After sitting quietly for a while, Xia Yu patted Zhishi on the shoulder and reminded him, "Okay, okay, this is not all about me. Don't you want to know what happened after I came to this world? This is just the beginning."

"just started?"

"Yeah, come on, I'll tell you what happened after I woke up."

Xia Yu pulled Zhishi up, brushed off the dust on their bodies, and planned to return to the town.

When he first came into this world, he thought he had come to a deserted jungle. At that time, he was thinking about how to survive in the wilderness using a child's body. However, after walking a few steps, he saw the small town at the foot of the hill.

That’s great, at least I don’t have to worry about starving to death.

“It was only when I came down the hill alone and saw the first person in the town that I met Xiao Xi.”

After returning to the town after going down the hill, Xia Yu recounted the past events. It was indeed when he met the first person that the system appeared in front of him, and then he learned the functions of the system and how to use it after Xiao Xi told him.

Unfortunately, the system had no initial capital, so he had to earn it himself.

"Unfortunately, the department at that time couldn't help me with anything, so it was quite difficult at the beginning."

Xia Yu took Zhishi for a walk along the river. As they walked, they suddenly saw an old man fishing. The old man was rocking in a rocking chair with a fishing rod casually placed beside him. It seemed that he was just taking a rest rather than fishing.

Looking at the familiar people and scenery in front of him, Xia Yu paused and laughed again: "This... is really a coincidence."

He still remembered that the first sunshine value he obtained when he first came to the town was from the fisherman in front of him.

When he settled down here temporarily, he found that this fishing uncle was just like the NPC in the game, who would fish here every day.

After that, in order to quickly get out of his penniless state, he directly regarded the fishing uncle's place as the refresh point for his daily tasks. He would come to the uncle early in the morning to be a conspicuous bag and earn sunshine points.

Although the amount is small, it is stable, and he was able to save a lot of it at the beginning.

While recalling past experiences, Xia Yu quickly stepped forward and greeted with a chuckle: "Hey, uncle, you are feeding the fish again."

"What do you mean by feeding the fish? I'm fishing!"

When the old man, who was originally lying in the rocking chair, heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and refuted with some unhappiness, but after the refutation, he was a little surprised.

"But why does this sound so familiar?"

He vaguely remembered that a few years ago there was a conspicuous guy who would greet him every day with these words.

At first he found the little guy unpleasant, but after getting used to it, he got used to it. But when the voice disappeared, he felt uncomfortable again.

Now, suddenly hearing this familiar voice and greeting, he felt a little nostalgic.

Blinking and looking to the side again, the fisherman subconsciously said, "Huh? When did you come back?"

"Just today, come back and take a look, and leave right away."

Xia Yu chuckled and turned his gaze to the old man's temples which had turned a little whiter. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, thinking that time makes people grow old.

"Hey, I thought you would never think of coming back after you went to the big city."

The fishing uncle sighed and turned to look at Zhishi who was being held by Xia Yu. Seeing this, Xia Yu raised the hand holding Zhishi and waved.

"My girlfriend, how is it? I've always said that I'm young and promising, and I'll shine sooner or later!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shi smiled at the old man fishing, as a greeting, and the old man shook his head and said, "What do you mean by young and promising? And your girlfriend... you are actually in a premature relationship?"

"What do you mean by puppy love? This is free love, where does the term puppy love come from?"

"Aren't you afraid that your parents will object?"

"Tsk, what am I afraid of? Anyway, I haven't...well, seeing that I am so young and promising, they are so happy that they can't wait to object."

"You haven't changed at all, kid."

Hearing this narcissistic answer, the fisherman sighed and waved his hands, saying, "Alright, alright, stop disturbing me while I'm fishing. You've scared my fish away."

"Okay, then we won't bother you while you feed the fish."

"It's fishing!"

"Yes Yes."

Xia Yu laughed twice and said he was fishing, but when he was brushing up his sunshine points next to the old man, he saw the old man sitting there from morning to night and didn't catch a single fish. Instead, he scattered all the bait.

Is this called fishing? It's obvious that the fish are not eating well, so I came here to feed them.

Later on, she even blamed him, saying that he kept talking and that this was the reason why the fish were scared away.

It's obviously my poor skills.

Recalling the funny things that happened in the past, Xia Yu did not avoid the fisherman. As he left, he loudly complained about the fisherman's past rogue behavior.

Hearing the voice complaining about him getting farther and farther away, the fishing uncle glanced at Xia Yu who was walking away and shook his head.

This doll hasn't changed at all after not seeing her for a few years.

But compared to when we first met, he looks much better now. I don’t know what happened, but the smile on his face has never faded.

It’s really good to be young.

As he was thinking, the fisherman closed his eyes again, quietly waiting for the fish to take the bait. However, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Well, it must be an illusion.

……

[Master, Master, all the illnesses of that old man have been cured. ]

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Yu replied to Xiao Xi in his heart, then turned his attention back and continued chatting with Zhishi beside him.

They walked and stopped here and there, and by noon the sun had reached its climax, they had toured the small town again.

When there was nothing left to see, they left the town, got in the car and left.

This is Xia Yu’s past, but it only occupies the beginning part. After you finish visiting this part, the rest will be dispensable.

"Where should we go next?" Tomoyo asked curiously while sitting in the car.

Just now, Xia Yu had told everyone everything that happened in the town, right up to the point of leaving the town.

Now that we have left the small town, where should we go next?
"Next, the next step is naturally the company."

Xia Yu crossed his hands and supported the back of his head. He glanced at the driver in front of him, first used the magic of Jing card to create a small area, enclosing him and Zhishi in it, so that the driver could not hear their conversation, and then continued.

"After I left the town, Xiao Xi also gathered enough power to change reality with my help. It was through that power that I gained my identity."

“After I have an identity, it’s time to expand further into reality. I want to make this world closer to the world I’m familiar with.”

Although he exchanged this identity of having both a business and an inheritance directly through the system, the subsequent development is indeed related to him.

After all, when he first set up the business, his goal was to bring this era back to the era he was familiar with as quickly as possible.

Then the corresponding private enterprises must naturally be born in advance.

Fortunately, when the company exchanges, the corresponding employees will also appear, and their loyalty is full, so he doesn't have to worry about his current status as a child.

To date, the world is indeed moving towards the era he is familiar with little by little under the changes in his company.

Another two or three hours passed, it was already afternoon, and the car stopped in front of the company headquarters.

The headquarters building reaches straight into the sky, and the three large characters "Talos" in the upper left corner reflect a glittering glow under the sunlight.

This was the headquarters of the company that Xia Yu exchanged at the beginning. He also started to develop his own business from here, and then gradually changed the reality, gradually shortening the distance over the past ten years.
