The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 568 Another Self

"Hey, can you please stop talking to yourself like that?" Li Xiaolang clenched the chopsticks in his hand, frowned and glared at Xia Yu.

Want him to play a role? Shouldn't he be the one to ask? Why ask the script writer!
"Do you want to refuse?"

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, pointed his thumb at the stunned Xiaoying and asked, "Don't you want to play Xiaoying's childhood sweetheart Xiaolang?"

"Or can you tolerate other boys playing the role of Sakura's childhood sweetheart?"

"How can it be!?"

Hearing this suddenly, Li Xiaolang became nervous instantly and subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he saw Xia Yu's smiling expression, he realized that he was being fooled, and his face flushed and he muttered softly.

"You are just making excuses..."

"Okay, now that the actors have been decided, let's continue to sort out the plot, Naoko." Xia Yu ignored the mumbling little wolf, clapped his hands and looked at Naoko.

"Okay." Naoko responded happily.

"No, Sakura and I clearly haven't agreed yet, so how come you guys have decided on it?"

Li Syaoran forced his way into the topic. It was obvious that neither he nor Sakura agreed, and the person who played Princess Sakura might not be Sakura. Why should he be so worried that Princess Sakura's childhood sweetheart was not him?

"Xiao Ming, stop struggling. The male and female protagonists must be you and Xiaoying. At least this time you don't have to play the role of a princess. Just be happy."

Xia Yu chuckled and revealed Li Xiaolang's dark history on the spot.

When the others heard this, they also recalled the performance of the sixth grade stage play and the princess Syaoran who had quite exaggerated acting skills.

For a moment, light laughter echoed here, and the air seemed to be lively.

Only Li Xiaolang blushed, but this time it was not because of shyness, but because of shame and anger. The boy's blush was warmer than any dirty words.

"You guy..."

"Little Wolf, I don't mind."

Xiaoying suddenly spoke in a low voice, a little shyly: "The protagonist of the story has the same name as us, maybe this is also a kind of fate, and I also want to feel it..."

The shy voice gradually became smaller, but it still reached Li Xiaolang's ears clearly: "What does it feel like to play Xiaolang's childhood sweetheart?"

"Sakura..."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's face turned from blushing with anger to blushing with shyness seamlessly. To be honest, he was actually looking forward to it vaguely.

But how could I possibly say such an embarrassing thing...

……

In the afternoon, on the playground.

Although it was already time to go home from school, the school cheerleading team had club activities, so the members were still practicing on the playground.

They either practice new movements or stretch their bodies with their friends to maintain their flexibility.

Sakura and Chiharu were also among them. Chiharu helped Sakura stretch her legs and body while chatting with her.

"I didn't expect that Xia is also good at telling stories. I'm really curious about the direction of his story about Princess Sakura and archaeologist Syaoran."

"Yeah, it's a pity that he suddenly stopped talking. There's obviously still a lot of time." Sakura sat on the ground, stretching her legs and nodded regretfully.

"Ah, I don't know if people who are good at everything are not good at being serious. Yamazaki is like this, and so is Xia."

Qianchun shook her head helplessly and said casually: "But maybe it's because they all have non-serious personalities that they can play so well together."

"But Li is clearly a serious person. I don't understand why he gets along so well with Yamazaki and Xia, when it's clear that his personality doesn't fit in with those two."

"Harmony... um... hehe..."

Sakura smiled awkwardly. Why did she feel that Syaoran was always on the verge of exploding? Perhaps this was also the friendship between boys.

They stretched their legs while chatting, and after a while, Sakura stood up after finishing stretching, and Chiharu sat in front of her, with Sakura pressing on her back while stretching.

"Come to think of it, I don't know what kind of story Naoko will write in the end, especially with Xia-san still whispering in her ear."

After pressing it twice, Chiharu couldn't help but start chatting with Sakura again. Hearing this, Sakura was a little confused for a moment.

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Have you forgotten? Naoko really likes ghost stories and horror stories, and Xia classmate even guided Naoko in that direction at noon."

Thinking back to the conversation between the two at noon, Chiharu sighed, "It was clearly a story of love and abuse at the beginning, how did it suddenly turn into a horror story? The leap is too big."

"Eh heh heh!?"

Chiharu's casual words made Sakura panic. She was terrified and trembling as she said, "Naoko wouldn't write a script that horrible, would she?"

"It's hard to say. After all, classmate Xia gave some very real weird stories at noon, such as a person who looks exactly like me, or some weird stories about words, etc...."

"I can understand an identical doppelganger, but what on earth is this a text ghost story? I've never heard of it before."

At this point, Chiharu suddenly thought of something and said apologetically, "Sorry, Sakura, you are afraid of horror stories like this, right?"

"No, it's okay, I can still bear it..."

Sakura forced a smile. Even though these ghost stories weren't about ghosts or anything like that, they still sounded scary.

Not to mention the text-based ghost stories, the doppelganger thing just sounds scary, because she knows this ghost story because Naoko told it to her friends in elementary school.

It is said that the so-called doppelganger is an illusory body that is exactly the same as the original person in terms of appearance and memory. The doppelganger will destroy the original person's life, take away their most important things, and even eventually replace the original person.

According to Naoko's story, the doppelganger possesses strange abilities that the original body does not have. It is weird and unsolvable, making it a rather scary mystery.

Uh...

It’s scary to think about it!
Sakura quickly shook her head, banishing the horrible thoughts from her mind.

I can’t think about it anymore, otherwise I won’t be able to sleep at night.

But the next second when Sakura suppressed this thought, a strange feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart, which startled her and made her shudder instantly.

Following her feeling, she looked up and was immediately startled by Sakura.

I saw a figure standing steadily above the wire fence in the playground. The figure looked very familiar. It was her in the gymnastics suit!
The next second, Sakura, who was on top of the wire fence, saw Sakura on the playground notice her, waved in a friendly manner, and gave a lovely smile.

“Ugh—!!”

Sakura watched helplessly as her other self raised his hand and greeted her. She was so shocked that she covered her face with her hands and screamed loudly.

It appeared, it really appeared!
That was another self, her doppelganger! ?

"What's wrong? Sakura?" Hearing Sakura's exclamation, Chiharu looked up in confusion.

"Ah ...

Sakura came back to her senses after hearing the voice, and hesitated as she wanted to point at her other self, but she felt that Chiharu shouldn't see it.

After all, this is a doppelganger of a ghost story. If Chiharu sees it, who knows what danger may arise. For a moment, Sakura, anxious in her heart, simply stopped thinking of excuses and turned around and ran, intending to leave here first.

"Sorry, I forgot something, I need to leave for a while!"

"Sakura!?"

Chiharu looked at Sakura as she left in surprise, and she was even more confused. What was so urgent? Why was she so nervous?

But at this moment Sakura had already run far away, so she had to suppress her doubts and stretch her legs while waiting for Sakura to come back.

On the other side, Sakura ran away in one breath, propped up her knees and took a breath, then hid behind the teaching building and looked at the barbed wire again.

Strangely, this time she saw nothing, and the other her seemed to have left.

Seeing this scene, Sakura didn't dare to relax at all, and carefully looked left and right around the playground.

After confirming once again that the other self had really left, she felt relieved and ran towards the music classroom again.

Tomoyo also has club activities today. As usual, Xia would definitely be there listening to Tomoyo practicing singing.

She had to go over and ask them about the ghost story. Maybe it wasn't just a ghost story, but an ownerless object created by her magic runaway.

Thinking of this, Sakura paused, then turned and ran towards the locker room.

If it was really because of her, then she would have to notify Xiaolang. Her cell phone was in the locker room at the moment, so she had to go to the locker room first to notify Xiaolang.

Meanwhile, in the music classroom.

Chiyo was practicing her singing on the podium, while the other members of the choir club were silently watching from the audience, including Xia Yu.

Since he is not a member of the choir, his position is at the back of all the members, but no matter where he is, Chise's singing voice can be clearly heard.

But before Zhishi finished singing, Xia Yu suddenly felt someone was watching him. Noticing this, he turned his head instantly, and the moment he turned his head, a figure outside the window flashed by.

"?"

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows in surprise, not knowing if it was an illusion, but he felt that the disappearing figure seemed a bit... like him?
But whether it looked like him or not, the figure was indeed peeping at him outside the window, and then ran away guiltily.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu quietly left the music classroom and quickly chased after him using the wind created by his escaping figure.

Soon, he found the escaping figure in another classroom. The figure also silently had its back to him, as if waiting for his arrival.

"You came."

"I am coming."

"You shouldn't have come!"

"But I'm already here!"

The smooth transition of the conversation made Xia Yu more and more certain. He looked at the figure who still had his back to him, touched his chin and glanced up and down.

"Let me guess, your face that has been facing away from me must be sunny, cheerful, handsome, dignified, talented, and elegant... I can't even describe it in one ten-thousandth of its handsomeness, right?"

"As expected of you, you can actually say it so accurately."

The figure turned around without any embarrassment. Looking at the face that combined handsomeness and cuteness, and looked very sunny and cheerful, Xia Yu sighed.

Sure enough, this face is exactly the same as his, this person is indeed him.

But why would there be another him?

Sakura did it?

"What? Are you so shocked that you lose your voice because you looked directly at the sun itself?" The other Xia Yu asked proudly, his hands on his hips.

"No, I was just wondering how you showed up." Xia Yu answered honestly.

"You don't need to care about this, you just need to know..."

The other Xia Yu grinned: "I am you, but I am virtual and you are real."

"False? Real?"

Xia Yu frowned and guessed, "You said you are virtual? Could it be that you are not real? Just an illusion?"

"Who knows?"

Xu Xia Yu showed a Riddler's smile, which made Xia Yu's teeth itchy. The person he hated the most was the Riddler.

Even if it was him, he couldn't bear it!
"Forget it. No matter whether you are real or fake, I will know after defeating you."

Xia Yu clenched his fist and waved his hand to summon his rapier: "Although I can't bear to kill you because of your face, how can there be two sunny and cheerful people? After all, one sun is enough."

Besides, he still has some self-awareness. He is enough to have only one sunny and cheerful person. If there is one more... it will become a disaster.

"Tsk, some countries have more than one sun." Xu Xia Yu curled his lips.

"I see you want to eat seaweed egg drop soup without vegetables, flowers or soup. You're missing me!"

Xia Yu responded casually without stopping, and rushed forward with the sword, slashing down with one blow.

Xu Xia Yu did not dodge or evade. Instead, he walked forward with a smile on his face and raised his hands, intending to catch the blade with his bare hands.

Xia Yu was shocked and confused when he saw this, but this sword was meant to be a test, so he did not change his action.

Snapped!
As expected, Xu Xia Yu easily blocked the incoming sword with his palms, but before Xia Yu could make the next move, Xu Xia Yu suddenly rubbed the sword with both hands.

The gorgeous Western long sword disappeared without any warning and turned into two paper-white cubes with two black Chinese characters "佥" and "刂" printed on one side.

"!?"

The long sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, leaving Xia Yu dumbfounded on the spot.

What is this? Where is his sword!?
Before Xia Yu could react, Xu Xia Yu suddenly reached back and snatched the block "刂" away in an instant. The sudden action made Xia Yu react quickly and he reached out and grabbed "佥" in his hand.

Xu Xia Yu, who had taken away the "刂", dodged and retreated, waved the cube in his hand, and laughed sarcastically: "That's it? Let me tell you one thing, "佥" can't be a weapon, but "刂" can, it's also a knife when it stands next to the knife."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xia Yu waved the block in his hand, and the block with "刂" printed on it instantly changed into a long sword.

Perhaps because the main body is a rapier, the long sword that the square transforms into is also in the style of a scimitar, gorgeous yet cold and shining.

Xia Yu: “???”

What kind of outrageous ability is this! ?
Does he have this ability?
He doesn't have it, why does the other one have it!

Swish!
Before Xia Yu could finish thinking, Xu Xia Yu had already attacked with a knife. Xia Yu had to stop thinking for a moment and dodge the attack.

However, even though he was dodging, he did not give up looking for opportunities.

But Xu Xia Yu's move just now really caught everyone off guard. He turned objects into words, and words into objects... How should one deal with this outrageous ability?

The weapons would be directly transformed into words. Although he could react, he did not have the ability to turn words into objects. Even if he seized the cube, he could not change it back.
