The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 554: There is always something missing, such as lack of heart

After a while, there was a water garden.

As a backyard dedicated to afternoon tea, there has been no changes here, and it remains the same after several years.

Little Xia Yu was brought here by Yuan Mei's hand, and couldn't help looking around curiously.

He had come here many times in his memory. Not only did he have the memory of coming here with Tomoyo, but he also had the memory of coming here with Tomoyo and Sonomi, and Tomoyo, Sakura and Syaoran.

But since my personality and way of thinking have not yet fully recovered, the memory is just a memory at this moment.

Just like he was amazed when he saw the Daidoji Manor, he was still amazed when he saw the water garden and even wanted to go in the water to play.

"Hmm? Xiao Xiatian, do you like it here?"

Looking at Xiao Xia Yu's expression of joy that was not concealed at all, Yuan Mei smiled and lowered her head to ask.

"Ah? Yeah, that's right!"

When Xia Yu was asked, he was stunned at first, then he realized that Yuan Mei was talking to him, and nodded hurriedly, somewhat embarrassedly.

"Sorry, I like this place so much that I accidentally got a little obsessed with it."

"It's okay, you can come over anytime if you like."

Yuan Mei smiled slightly and took Xiao Xia Yu to the open-air dining table. After the three of them sat down, the servants who had been waiting had already placed tea in front of them one by one.

Xiao Xia Yu looked at the steaming tea in front of him, and curiously held it up with both hands, wanting to taste it first.

In his memory, he seemed to like drinking tea very much when he grew up, and he could drink it with relish whether it was black tea or green tea.

But tea is obviously bitter and not at all as delicious as juice.

While thinking about it, Xiao Xia Yu tentatively took a sip of the tea in the cup. The moment the tea entered his mouth, his face wrinkled and he subconsciously stuck out his tongue.

It’s so hard to drink…

It’s neither bitter nor sweet, just... a very strange taste. Why do I like drinking this kind of thing when I grow up?
"Hmm? Xiao Xiatian doesn't like tea?"

Noticing Xiao Xia Yu sticking out his tongue, Yuan Mei looked at him curiously. Xiao Xia Yu also put down the teacup in his hand and nodded repeatedly.

"No, this doesn't taste good at all."

"Really? Then what does Xiao Xia like to drink?"

"Juice, and the orange juice is the best among all the juices, it tastes sour and sweet!"

"Orange juice?"

Yuan Mei tilted her head and winked at the maid next to her, and the maid tactfully turned around and went to look for orange juice.

After the maid left, Yuan Mei smiled and retracted her gaze to Xiao Xia Yu: "It seems that although you and Xiao Xia both like to eat desserts, you are completely different in this regard."

"I know he likes to drink tea, but I don't know why he likes to drink this weird-tasting hot water."

Xiao Xia Yu's tone was unusually full of disgust. It was obviously him, so why did his taste become so different?
Hmm...that's not quite right. They seem to have loved sweets since they were young, and this hasn't changed much.

"Because everyone has different tastes. But he didn't affect your taste at all? I saw that he liked to drink tea and I thought you liked it too."

Yuanmei picked up the teacup in front of her and took a small sip. People will be influenced, just like Tomoyo. Because she drinks tea frequently, Tomoyo is also influenced by her and starts to like drinking tea.

Unless part of the taste is innate, the acquired influence can be very large.

"Come and try this cake. Even Xiao Xia approves of this cake."

After putting down the teacup in her hand, Yuan Mei brought a chocolate cake from the food cart nearby.

The white cream is dotted with chocolate chips, and the image is very simple, without the fancy and bright colors of other cakes.

"Don't be fooled by the simple appearance of this cake, it tastes great." Noticing Xiao Xia Yu's gaze, Yuan Mei said as she cut the cake.

When the cake was cut, she handed one piece to Xiao Xia Yu first, and Xiao Xia Yu was staring at it with shining eyes, looking like he couldn't wait.

()
"Ouch~"

Without any hesitation, little Xia Yu just let out a roar and stuffed a big piece of food into his mouth.

Feeling the sweet taste blooming on the tip of his tongue, Xiao Xia Yu narrowed his eyes and subconsciously revealed a happy and sweet expression on his face.

Yuan Mei was stunned by the enjoyment on this little expression. It was the first time for her to see someone showing such an enjoyment on his face because of a cake.

After swallowing the cake in his mouth, Xiao Xia Yu couldn't help but sway his body from side to side, licked his lips, and picked up another big piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

oooo~
The big cake made a few groaning sounds and was eaten up completely.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Xia Yu was reluctant to lick the cream on the fork and looked at the remaining cake with anticipation yet restraint.

I want to eat, but I’m embarrassed.

"Do you want more? I'll give you my sister's portion, too."

Looking at the thoughts revealed directly on Xiao Xia Yu's face, Zhishi smiled lightly and pushed the cake in front of him that he had not yet started to eat over to him.

"No, this belongs to Sister Zhishi, I can't..." Xiao Xia Yu swallowed, forced himself to shake his head, and pushed the cake in front of him back.

"It's okay. There's still a lot of cake. Eat more if you like."

Zhishi blocked Xiao Xiayu's hand and pushed the cake over again. Xiao Xiayu hesitated for two seconds, then was completely convinced by the cake and no longer insisted.

On the other side, Yuanmei couldn't help but smile when she saw the interaction between her daughter and Xiao Xiayu. She picked up another plate of cake and placed it in front of Zhise.

"It seems you like this child very much."

"Yes, because Xia Jun said that this child looks exactly like him when he was a child, so I want to see what Xia Jun looked like when he was a child."

Tomoyo gave a reason that was closer to the truth, but this reason made Yuanmei curl her lips.

"Tsk, that kid is definitely flattering himself. Xiao Xiatian is so cute, how could that kid be so cute when he was a child?"

As she spoke, Yuan Mei glanced at Xiao Xia Yu who was eating the cake with a happy look on his face. For some reason, just by looking at the way he was eating, she also began to look forward to the cake in front of her.

After picking up a piece of cake and putting it in my mouth, it tasted the same as usual, but looking at the way little Xia Yu was immersed in eating the cake, it still tasted magically delicious.

"Not necessarily. After all, your personality when you grow up is definitely different from your personality when you were a child."

Knowing the truth, Chishi held back her laughter and defended Xia Yu, but Yuanmei still shook her head when she heard it.

"Even if there are some changes, it's impossible for them to change so drastically. The only similarity between that kid and Xiao Xiatian is that they both like desserts, and..."

Yuan Mei saw that Xiao Xiayu was about to finish the cake in front of him, so she picked up a new plate of cake and put it over: "Xiao Xiayu's happy look is much more pleasing to the eye than that boy."

"That's hard to refute."

Zhishi stroked his face with one hand and looked at Xiao Xiayu's happy face. After thinking for a while, he suddenly took out his mobile phone and recorded this scene.

When Xia Jun recovers, I will show it to him.

And she also wants to keep this photo as a treasure, because this is a scene that even Xia Jun can't replicate.

Soon, most of the cake went into Xiao Xia Yu's stomach.

Yuan Mei smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"tasty!!"

(^^)
Xiao Xia Yu licked his lips with a look of satisfaction, but soon he shook his head regretfully.

"It's just not as good as what I...my brother cooks, but it's delicious too."

In his memory, the cakes he made were more delicious. He would never get tired of eating them. He would go to Sister Tomoyo to borrow her kitchen and make himself a cake to try.

With his memory and skills, he believed that he could definitely replicate it one-to-one.

Hearing Xiao Xiayu's honest answer, Yuan Mei laughed and said, "That's right, this cake really doesn't taste as good as the one Xiao Xia made."

Yuan Mei propped her cheek with one hand, looked at Xiao Xia Yu and said quietly, "But who made your brother so good at making snacks? He's only in his teens, but there seems to be nothing he can't do."

"Whether it's making snacks or other things, he always does it perfectly, and he's still so young. Even I sometimes admire him."

Hearing Yuan Mei's answer, Xiao Xia Yu was a little surprised for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Aunt Yuan Mei, what do you think of me...uh, what kind of person is my brother?"

He was a little curious. Clearly in his memory, he was very annoying when he grew up, but looking at the current situation, it seemed that he was not that annoying.

Sister Tomoyo didn't hate him when he grew up, and now it seems that Aunt Sonomi only hates him verbally, but she still agrees with him in her heart.

So he is actually quite likable when he grows up?
But in my memory, I have always been disliked by the little wolf, and I even liked to bully the little wolf. The little wolf looks a little fierce, but is actually a very gentle person.

Someone who likes to bully the little wolf doesn't look like a likable person at all.

That's not right. In my memory, I sometimes helped the little wolf without asking for anything in return, bullying and helping him. Why does he seem to have such a weird personality after growing up? It's so hard to understand.

"Xiao Xia, how should I tell you this?"

Yuan Mei held her forehead. Deep down, she didn't hate Xia Yu. Even though he had taken her daughter away, her exclusive love for him couldn't be faked.

She could see that her daughter and the man were in love with each other, and the man was also very good to her daughter, just like Fujitaka and Nadeshiko in the past.

But there is one difference between that annoying Fujitaka and this annoying kid, and that is their personality.

Fujitaka is a perfect man with almost no flaws, but Xia Yu who likes her daughter... except for his unreliable personality, he can be called perfect in other aspects.

As for the unreliable character, all I can say is that no one is perfect.

Examples like Fujitaka are too rare. After all, it is impossible for a person to be perfect in everything. There will always be something missing.

As for the Xia Yu she knew, that boy lacked brains, absolutely nothing more than brains.

But you can't tell the child in front of you that his brother is a fool, right?

Ok……

Let her think about how to put it tactfully.
