The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 610 She is not stupid
"This one……"

When Xiaoying heard that Xia Yu actually wanted to hear her thoughts on the comic, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, revealing a hint of embarrassment.

I feel ashamed just thinking about reading a girl's comic with myself as the protagonist and then having to express my own opinion after reading it.

"I'm really looking forward to the protagonist's comments."

Xia Yu chuckled, not giving Xiaoying a chance to refuse, then turned around and waved, "I'll go give Chiharu a copy first, Xiaoying, how about you read the comics first?"

Seeing Xia Yu leave, Xiaoying lowered her head to look at the comic magazine in her hand. Seeing this, Chiyo said with a smile: "If you don't know how to evaluate it, why don't you take a look at it first?"

As he spoke, Tomoyo reached out and took the comic from Sakura's hand, tore off the plastic film wrapped around it, and then flipped through the table of contents to the page where "Cardcaptor Sakura" was serialized.

Above the title "Cardcaptor Sakura" is the first page cover of the comic series. Unlike the aesthetic of the magazine cover, this cover is more inclined to youth and vitality.

Amidst the flying cherry blossoms, the heroine, wearing a pink dress and a soft hat of the same color, holds a bird-head magic wand in her hand and has a sunny smile as bright as cherry blossoms on her face. A small yellow doll is flying in front of her.

Looking at the cartoon image of herself, Sakura blushed slightly, feeling shy but also a little happy.

Although Xia did not obtain her consent or ask for her opinion, it can be seen from the image in the cartoon that Xia is really serious about the cartoon.

And this seriousness is closely related to herself. Although I didn't discuss it with her, she couldn't help but feel happy about it.

"How about it? Sakura, can you feel Xia Jun's serious attitude from the picture?" Tomoyo asked with a smile, noticing the happiness hidden under Sakura's shyness.

"Um……"

"Then let's continue watching. There is still some time before class starts, which is enough time to finish watching the first part."

"it is good……"

Sakura spoke softly, nodded slightly and turned to the next page. The next page also had an illustration, but this time it was of her wearing a gymnastics suit and holding a gymnastics stick.

"Eh? The style of this picture..."

Looking at the Sakura in gymnastics uniform in the comics, Sakura herself was a little surprised for a moment. Although this illustration was as beautiful as the one on the cover, judging from the style, it seemed that they were drawn by different people.

The previous cover image tends to be youthful and energetic, with a smile as bright as the sun, but this gymnastics picture is even more...cute? The subtle smile on the girl's face seems to be vaguely conveying to the readers that the girl herself has a very cute personality.

Sakura noticed the difference between the two illustrations and subconsciously closed the magazine and looked at the illustration on the cover again.

The illustration on the magazine cover is in an aesthetic style. At first glance, Sakura's smile on the cover is soft and elegant, and even has a hint of artistic sense.

Obviously the protagonist of all three covers is Sakura from the comics, but when you look at the three illustrations one by one, they give people different feelings.

Beautiful, sunny and cute...

These three different words emerged in Xiaoying's mind. She curiously asked Tomoyo beside her: "Tomoyo, did Xia draw these three illustrations alone?"

"Why do you ask?" Zhishi smiled with curved eyebrows.

“I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel like these three illustrations are not from the same person.”

Sakura spread out the magazine and showed the three illustrations to Tomoyo respectively, and continued: "The cover of the magazine is more beautiful and artistic, the cover with the title is full of vitality, and the illustration below the cover seems to be more lovely."

Listening to Sakura's explanation, Tomoyo smiled and kept it a secret: "It is true that Xia Jun didn't draw it alone. Sakura, can you guess who drew these three pictures?"

"Eh? So it was really drawn by three people?"

Sakura was shocked. She didn't expect Tomoyo to directly confirm her guess. But since Tomoyo said so, then who drew these three pictures?

But apart from anything else, there must be a picture drawn by Xia, and who are the remaining two...

Sakura pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly an idea came to her mind. She quickly turned her head and looked at Tomoyo and said, "There is also a picture you drew, Tomoyo, right?"

"Hmm... I guessed it as expected."

Tomoyo didn't deny it. Seeing this, Sakura chuckled and said, "After all, Tomoyo, you're also very good at drawing. If Xia draws comics, you will definitely help him."

"Where is the other person?"

"This one……"

Sakura was stunned and frowned as she thought silently, but no matter how hard she thought, she couldn't figure out who the other person was.

After a moment, she shook her head in disappointment and said, "I can't think of one. As far as I know, only you and Xia are the best painters. I can't think of anyone who is as good as you."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shi reminded: "In fact, the remaining person is not a human."

"not human?"

Sakura looked up blankly. Was this a description? Or was it a literal statement?

But when it comes to non-humans, the only ones she knows of are Xiao Ke and his friends who are magical creatures. Xiao Ke...

correct!

"Could it be Xiao Xi!?"

Sakura looked surprised, and Tomoyo nodded to confirm her guess. Seeing this, Sakura was even more surprised.

But in the next second, she couldn't help but say in frustration: "Sure enough, Xiaoke is a fool who knows nothing."

Why can other people's magical creatures do everything, whether it's Xiaoxi or Sibi, but Xiaoke on her side can do nothing. Not only is he a glutton, but he also wakes up all day to play games and sleeps when he's tired.

If possible, she really wanted to switch with classmate Xia.

She also wanted a contracted beast that was as polite and powerful as Xiao Xi.

But this kind of thought can only be thought about, and cannot be expressed in front of Xiaoke, otherwise Xiaoke will definitely scold her for being heartless, wuwuwu...

"Sakura, can you guess which of us three drew these three illustrations?" Tomoyo asked again when she saw that Sakura suddenly fell silent after she confirmed her guess.

This brought Sakura back to her senses. She looked through the three illustrations again and thought, "Tomoyo, you often say I'm cute. I guess you drew the cutest illustration."

"Xia has a lively personality, so the lively and cheerful illustration in the middle should be drawn by Xia. According to the process of elimination, the color picture on the cover of the magazine must be drawn by Xiao Xi, right?"

"You guessed it right!"

Tomoyo nodded and couldn't help but say: "Even you can see it, Sakura. It seems that the personal styles of these three illustrations are quite obvious."

"Eh? What do you mean even I can see it?"

Thump~thump~thump~thump~
Just then, the class bell suddenly rang. When Tomoyo heard the bell, he quickly pressed Sakura's shoulders and made her sit back in her seat.

"Okay, class is about to start. Don't read comics secretly during class."

"I wouldn't secretly read comics in class."

Sakura put away the comic magazine in her hand, but soon she realized: "No, Tomoyo, you haven't told me what you meant by that sentence just now?" "Oh my, that was a compliment to Sakura, really."

"Well... you obviously think I'm a fool."

Sakura muttered a little unhappily that she was no longer the fool she was in elementary school, she had grown up and become smart.

Hearing Sakura's mumbling, Tomoyo covered her mouth and laughed: "Haha~ How could that be? In my mind, Sakura is very smart."

"really?"

Sakura looked at him in surprise, then quickly coughed modestly and sat up straight: "I'm very smart. I'm no longer the idiot I used to be. I can't even fail in math now."

"Oh my~ Sakura is really amazing."

"Hehe~"

……

Lunch break, lunch time.

This was a long-awaited dinner party. The friends who had not gathered together for a while gathered together on the lawn again under Xia Yu's call.

Li Xiaolang, who was called here together, looked at Xia Yu a little nervously. He had just used Xia Yu as an excuse this morning, and was called by him to have lunch together at noon. It was hard not to feel nervous about this.

Besides, Naoko is also here...

Li Syaoran stole a glance at Naoko, and seeing that her expression was normal, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Naoko wasn't the gossipy type, so he didn't have to worry about her telling him what happened in the morning.

What's more, if you think about what happened in the morning carefully, it was actually just an ordinary thing, but he was worrying too much.

Li Xiaolang put down the big stone in his heart.

Really, his cover-up this morning was flawless, so what on earth is he worrying about?

Scare yourself.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, to celebrate my comics being published in magazines, I've specially bought the corresponding comic magazines as gifts for everyone."

Seeing that several familiar people in front of him had sat down on the lunch cloth, Xia Yu, who was carrying a handbag, did not hesitate to take out three comic magazines from the bag and placed them in the middle of the circle formed by the crowd.

Looking at the comic magazine that was taken out, Li Xiaolang, who originally thought that he was scaring himself, suddenly had an explosion in his mind.

These comic magazines...why do they look so familiar?
Naoko, whose attention was drawn, naturally also noticed these comic magazines. When she saw the familiar beautiful cover, her expression suddenly became strange.

Glancing at Li Xiaolang, whose face was slightly pale, Naoko was the first to ask, "Xia-san, you said your comics were published in a magazine? Could it be that it was published in this girls' comics magazine?"

"That's right, I, Xia Yu, am the master of girls' comics!"

Xia Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all. He picked up a magazine and showed the beautiful illustration on the cover to everyone.

"The cover of the magazine is my new comic, called Cardcaptor Sakura, which is a comic about magical girls. After reading it, you can give me your own ideas. I will accept them all."

As he spoke, he handed the three comic magazines to Yamazaki and others one by one. Yamazaki took them with interest. Although Naoko had a strange expression on her face, she also reached out to take them.

But when it was Li Xiaolang's turn, Li Xiaolang lowered his head and remained silent, as if he didn't care about the comics at all.

"Tsk, you're still pretending in front of me? In fact, you must have been looking forward to it for a long time." Xia Yu let out a light sigh.

"But I'm in a good mood today, so I won't bother with you. Just keep it." After saying that, Xia Yu stuffed the comic magazine in his hand directly into Li Xiaolang's arms.

Li Xiaolang, whose body was stiffened after the magazine was forced into his mouth, felt as if the comic magazine in his hand was a hot potato.

He was silent for a few seconds, then secretly looked up in the direction of Naoko. Coincidentally, Naoko also looked at him with a strange expression, looking quite unnatural.

As soon as their eyes met, Li Xiaolang, feeling guilty, immediately looked away, not daring to look again.

Damn it, why did he come up with such an excuse this morning!
And why did Xia Yu suddenly buy so many comic magazines and distribute them to others today? Couldn't he wait a day?!
Li Xiaolang, who also went to buy comic magazines early this morning, was feeling indignant and criticizing Xia Yu.

"Naoko, why do you look so weird?"

Li Xiaolang: “!?”

Li Syaoran suddenly raised his head and quickly looked in the direction of Naoko.

Naoko, who was questioned by Xia Yu, suddenly reacted at this moment and quickly withdrew her gaze from Li Xiaolang.

She just realized in her heart that classmate Li had lied this morning. The classmate Li who could not lie had actually learned to lie without changing his expression.

Because this conclusion was too shocking, she was unable to control her expression for a moment.

After suppressing the shock in her heart, Naoko secretly glanced at Li Syaoran's position again. Coincidentally, Li Syaoran was also looking at her at this time. Their eyes collided in the air, and this time Li Syaoran did not look away.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes, as if he was begging Naoko not to speak.

Realizing what Li Syaoran meant, Naoko smiled slightly, as if she had agreed to something. Just when Li Syaoran was feeling relieved, he heard Naoko speak directly.

"Actually, it was mainly because I saw this comic this morning, so I was a little surprised for a moment."

"Huh? You saw this comic this morning, too? Where did you see it?"

Li Xiaolang: “!!?”

Xia Yu asked curiously, and Li Xiaolang felt like he was on a roller coaster, his mood was up and down and then suddenly fell into the abyss.

He closed his eyes silently, preparing to answer Naoko's questions. At the same time, he was prepared to be laughed at by Xia Yu and to be stared at by everyone.

"Of course it's in the bookstore, where else can it be?"

Naoko changed the subject and smiled, "I was going to the bookstore to buy horror comics this morning, but after I bought them, I saw a comic magazine with a particularly beautiful cover."

"I saw that the character in the magazine looked a lot like Sakura, so I bought it out of curiosity. But I haven't even read it yet. I didn't expect it to be your work, Xia. You're really amazing, Xia!"

After hearing Naoko's explanation, Xia Yu laughed: "So that's how it is, Naoko you have good taste."

“After all, the cover is really nice.”

Naoko held up the cover and showed it to everyone. Then while everyone was looking at the cover, she secretly looked at Li Syaoran and winked at him.

Li Syaoran naturally noticed Naoko's little action, and his mood, which had originally fallen into the abyss, suddenly surfaced again. The ups and downs of his mood made him unable to help but cover his chest, but at the same time he felt a little fortunate for a moment.

If it wasn't the wrong timing, he really wanted to say thank you to Naoko.

Sure enough, everyone was very gentle except for one person.
