The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 587: Past and Future Self
“I’m going to die…”

After finishing her chuunibunyu declaration in one breath, Sakura fell to her knees with a thud, her entire body turning gray.

Burned out, leaving only snow-white ash.

For the first time, she felt that time was so long and truly experienced the meaning of every second feeling like a year. If possible, she really wanted to forget everything that had just happened.

By the way, I also deleted the video I took and just thought it was a dream...

"Mortals, remember this, the heir of the Sealed Book hereby declares..."

Suddenly, a middle school student's voice declared something strange next to her. Sakura froze and turned around in disbelief.

I saw Xia Yu holding the camera and replaying the footage, while Zhishi was covering her mouth and making "ahhh" sounds of surprise and interest.

"Although the performance was a little stiff and the lines were like a stick recitation, the momentum was full and it was barely acceptable." Xia Yu admired the middle school Sakura in the camera and was satisfied.

Favorite +1
Thanks to Sakura and Kozakura, he was able to get such a precious video collection, and he would let the Sakura he knew show it to him when the time comes.

"What a precious video! If possible, could you lend me a copy?" Tomoyo's eyes sparkled as she stared at the middle school girl Sakura on the camera screen.

I really want to play it on loop in my own theater. Sakura looks so adorable like this.

Thinking about this, Zhishi looked at Xia Yu expectantly, waiting for Xia Yu's reply.

Hearing this, Xia Yu looked at Zhishi who was looking forward to it, and nodded, "For Zhishi's sake, I can give you a copy as a souvenir of my coming here."

"On my face?"

Zhi Shi tilted his head and asked in confusion: "So, brother, do you really know us? But why don't we know you? We haven't even seen you."

"This is easy. Just follow me and I will take you to see the truth."

After saying that, Xia Yu couldn't help but chuckle again, looking at Xiaoying and the others in front of him, he smiled and said: "Be prepared, the truth will definitely scare you."

After saying that, Xia Yu put away the camera and walked away first.

Seeing this, Xiaoying and the others looked at each other, whispered a few words, and then chose to quickly follow.

Since this strange brother in front of them had no ill intentions, they were also very curious about why he knew them and seemed so familiar with them.

At the same time, Sakura is in another place.

"Isn't Xia's case finished yet? It's been so long." Sakura leaned against the wall and couldn't help but mutter.

"Could it be that the cards are difficult to deal with and I got held up accidentally?" Zhishi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, in response to Tomoyo's words, Sakura and Li Syaoran shook their heads at the same time and explained one by one.

"I can no longer sense the magical fluctuations of the Clow Cards, which means that Xia has turned the Clow Cards back into cards. I just don't know why they haven't returned yet."

"You don't have to worry about Xia Yu. With his strength, he won't be held back by that kind of card."

"Really? That's good."

Zhishi felt relieved, but couldn't help turning her head to look in the direction where Xia Yu left. This look immediately made her face show joy.

"Xia-kun is back...eh?"

Before Zhishi finished her words, she was instantly shocked. She couldn't help rubbing her eyes, as if she had seen something unbelievable.

"What's wrong with you, Tomoyo?"

Noticing Tomoyo's strangeness, Sakura curiously followed Tomoyo's line of sight. When she saw him, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as well.

“Ugh—!!”

"?"

The abnormal behavior of the two girls made Li Xiaolang slowly question himself. What was so surprising? Was it necessary?

He turned his head in confusion, and then saw himself wearing a green Taoist robe and looking at him in surprise.

"!??"

What did he see! ?

Li Xiaolang blinked subconsciously, then rubbed his eyes, but the other self wearing a green Taoist robe did not disappear. Instead, he showed an expression of surprise that was almost the same as his.

"Hey guys, look what I found?"

With a look of anticipation on his face, Xia Yu led the Sakura from elementary school and the others to the Sakura from junior high school.

For a moment, both parties saw another version of themselves and fell into silence and shock. They stared at each other in silence for a long time.

"Huh? Sakura, why are you guys over there?" Xiao Ke, who didn't have a corresponding person, didn't think too much about it. He scratched his big yellow head, first looked at Sakura and the other two from junior high school, then turned back to look at Sakura and the other two from elementary school.

"Wait, is it the Clow Cards!?"

Xiao Ke's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he guessed: "I remember that the double cards can copy people, could it be that the people in front of me..."

Snapped--!
"That's enough. They are not double-brand copies. Don't you find that the people here are more mature?"

Xia Yu flicked his finger and hit Xiaoke's big yellow head directly, causing it to flip several times in the air before stopping with his hands covering his forehead.

"You little bastard, how dare you flick my forehead!?" Xiao Ke glared at Xia Yu fiercely with tears in her eyes.

It's just a kid, why is his grip so strong? It hurts so much!
Xia Yu ignored Xiaoke and just looked silently at his finger that had just hit Xiaoke's head, and couldn't help twisting it.

It's really a nostalgic feeling. The last time I tapped Xiaoke's forehead was last time. I didn't expect to tap it again this time. The feeling is still so nostalgic.

"Hey! I'm talking to you, brat!!"

Seeing that Xia Yu ignored him, Xiao Ke was so angry that his face turned yellow. Just when he was about to kick him, Xia Yu seemed to have expected it and attacked him with a flick of his finger.

"Alright, alright, you're used to the other one, so you'll have to slowly get used to the other one, too."

Xia Yu casually replied to Xiaoke who was bounced away, then turned and walked towards Xiaoying and the others he knew. He waved at the stunned people, letting them come back to their senses, and then he smiled and said.

"How is it? Are you surprised? This is you when you were little."

"Rather than a surprise, it would be more appropriate to say it's a shock."

Sakura smiled with mixed feelings, looking at herself, Syaoran and Tomoyo in elementary school, she couldn't help but imagine what had happened.

It was probably her momentary thought that triggered her own magic power, causing the four of them to go directly back to the past, just like the former戻牌.

However, she was the only one who returned to the past, and now the others have also come to the past world and met their past selves...

But is this really the past?
Sakura frowned, if this was really the past, why didn't she see her future self's memories?
Judging from the current situation, she has clearly successfully returned to the past, so during this period in the past, she should have had the memory of seeing her future self.

Isn’t this just the past?

Sakura discovered a blind spot and couldn't help but carefully observe the Sakura and the others opposite her. However, just by looking at them, she discovered another problem.

"Wait, where are you, Xia? Why can't I see you?" Sakura looked at Xia Yu in surprise.

If she really went there, why didn't she see Xia? Wasn't Xia here? But Xia was usually present when the Clow Cards were captured.

"You're talking about me." Xia Yu smacked his lips, not quite sure how to answer. Should he tell Xiaoying about his specialness?
Ever since Liliae saw the future without him, he knew that he might be the only one. There was no world line in the past, nor in the future. The only world he existed in was the present.

Therefore, even if they could go back to the past, they could only go back to a past without him.

But this explanation is too complicated, um... let's use the words he is best at to explain it.

Xia Yu put his hands on his hips and said proudly: "That's because I am the one and only chosen one by God, the sun that shines on the world, and one is enough."

"There are many suns in the universe. After all, the sun is just an ordinary star." Li Xiaolang couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark when he heard Xia Yu's narcissistic words.

Xia Yu: "..."

Xia Yu's smug smile froze, and he glared at Li Xiaolang unhappily: "For the Earth, one sun is enough!"

Li Xiaolang retracted his gaze, not wanting to argue with this childish guy. He looked at Xiaoying and asked with a complicated expression: "So, we went back to the past together?"

"It seems so." Sakura nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang didn't know how to express his feelings and could only look at his childhood self silently.

Hmm... I always feel like I'm looking in a mirror, but I'm looking at the past.

"Who are you?"

It was not until this moment that Xiaoxue Ying came back to her senses. She looked at the other herself and was dumbfounded for a moment.

I can't feel the magic of the Clow Cards, but I can feel the same magic as my own, as if the person in front of me is really myself.

"us?"

Sakura smiled slightly, spread her hands, pointed at Li Syaoran and Tomoyo who was smiling beside them, and introduced them to her elementary school self and others.

"We are you, but we are already in junior high school, but because of the time channel, we went back to the past, which is your present."

"We in junior high school?"

The elementary school wolf frowned, looked at his junior high school self and asked, "So you are us from the future? Where's the evidence? Why should we believe that what you say is true?"

"You really deserved a beating when you were a kid." Xia Yu leaned close to Li Xiaolang and whispered softly.

"..."

Li Xiaolang rolled his eyes at Xia Yu, then quietly walked to the side of his elementary school self, put his hand over his mouth and leaned over to say, "Come here, I'll tell you a secret that only we know."

Xiaoxuelang frowned slightly, but still moved closer. After a few seconds, his face suddenly turned red and he looked at Li Xiaolang in shock.

He trembled his lips twice, with a complicated expression, and nodded, "I believe you are my future self."

Li Xiaolang also put away his complicated expression, sighed softly, and returned to his position.

"What did you say? Did you just believe it yourself?" Xia Yu first looked at Xiaoxuelang, then looked at Li Xiaolang next to him, and couldn't help but get close to Li Xiaolang and asked.

"…Do you think I'll tell you?"

Li Xiaolang pushed Xia Yu away speechlessly. That was a secret only he knew, how could he tell anyone else?

"Tsk... stingy."

"So, you are really our future selves?" Xiaosha Tomoyo suddenly stepped forward and asked, looking at her grown-up self.

"That's right, we are indeed you in the future." Tomoyo responded with a smile.

"Then who is this brother? Why have we never seen him?"

"elder brother?"

Zhishi opened her smiling eyes and turned to look at Xia Yu beside her. Seeing the awkward expression on Xia Yu's face, she suddenly moved forward with a smile.

"Excuse me, who are you? Brother~"

"..."

Xia Yu subconsciously shuddered and couldn't help but said, "Stop, don't call me brother. This title is really... I can't stand it, but it always feels weird."

"What's wrong, brother~"

"...Zhi Shi, please stop yelling like that."

"No, unless you can tell me what's wrong, brother~"

Elementary school Tomoyo: “???”

Elementary school Chise opened her mouth slightly, looking at the interaction between her junior high school self and that strange brother in surprise. Why did these two people give her the feeling that...

Like a couple! ?

Will she grow up to like someone else?
Xiaoxiao Zhisheng subconsciously followed her heart and looked at Xiaoxiao Ying beside her, but wasn't she the one she liked from the beginning to the end? Would she also like someone other than Sakura?

The shocked elementary school student Zhishi stopped talking, but became more curious about Xia Yu and himself.

On the other side, Zhishi naturally noticed the change in Xiaoxue's expression. She sighed secretly in her heart and suddenly felt emotional.

The self on the other side is the self who failed to meet Xia Jun. If she had not met Xia Jun, she might have always liked Sakura and kept waiting.

Waiting is undoubtedly painful and lonely, especially when the person you like will never like you back. Her heart and Sakura's can only be infinitely close, and then stop at the last centimeter of overlap.

The closest distance is also the farthest distance.

Even though she had always believed that Sakura's happiness was her greatest happiness, she would always feel a little lonely and envious.

Thinking about these things in her heart, Zhishi stopped teasing Xia Yu and inexplicably developed some sympathy for herself in this world, even though she knew clearly that she did not need sympathy.

"what happened?"

Xia Yu saw that Zhishi, who was originally smiling, suddenly stopped smiling and stopped teasing him, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"nothing."

Zhishi shook his head gently, and suddenly smiled gently at Xia Yu: "I was just thinking, how nice it is to meet you."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden..."

Xia Yu was stunned, and subconsciously felt a little embarrassed. They were just plain words, but it was precisely this kind of plainness that made him feel shy.

Tomoyo did not respond, but just smiled with narrowed eyes, then looked at her past self again.

It's a rare opportunity to come to this world, maybe I can have a heart-to-heart talk with my past self?
"If you are them from the future, then how did you get here? Was it through the Tan card? But can't the Tan card only teleport one person at a time?" At this time, Xiao Ke, who had a general understanding of the situation, couldn't help but ask.

Could it be that something strange similar to the Clow Cards will happen again in the future?

“This is a very complicated matter.”

Sakura sighed softly, then said, "Let's find a place to sit together, and then I'll tell you little by little."
