The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 641 This is a gift
Ding-dong-

Just as Li Syaoran and Xiaoying were trying to suppress their shyness and respond to their sisters, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Hearing this voice, the two adults who were talking paused for a moment, but before Fujitaka could get up and open the door, Sakura had already broken free from her sisters' encirclement and ran quickly towards the door.

"I'll open the door!"

Seeing that Sakura had already stood up to open the door, Fujitaka, who was about to get up, had to sit down again.

As Li Syaoran looked at Xiaoying who went to open the door, he couldn't help but pray silently in his heart, hoping that the person ringing the doorbell was a new guest.

Although this would disturb the conversation between his mother and Sakura's father, his sisters would be more restrained when there were other guests.

He thought he had gotten used to his sisters' intimacy, but he didn't expect that the consequence of not seeing them for a long time was that his sisters became even more clingy.

Even he, who had long been accustomed to it, felt a little overwhelmed. He could still continue to endure it, but Sakura must have found it very difficult to endure.

If he had known this, he should have let Sakura-san stay at home so that he could at least help them share some of the firepower.

Unfortunately, it’s no use regretting now.

On this side, Li Syaoran was praying silently in his heart, while on the other side, Sakura had already reached the door and opened it.

Seeing Xia Yu and Zhi Shi appearing at the door, Xiao Ying said in surprise: "Zhi Shi, Xia-san, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, Sakura."

"Happy New Year."

Zhishi and Xia Yu smiled and greeted back. Li Meiling, who was standing behind them, also poked her head out and said, "Xiaoying, I'm back again."

"Raspberry Bell!"

Seeing Meiling also appeared, Xiaoying was delighted and said with a little complaint: "Really, I haven't even talked to you, Meiling, and you left first."

"Oh, I'm back again." Meiling felt a little embarrassed.

But she quickly shook her head, patted Xia Yu and Zhi Shi's shoulders and said, "After Daidoji and the others visited the shrine, we followed them to wish a happy new year to our familiar friends. Your place is our first stop."

"Tomoyo, are you here to celebrate the New Year?"

Hearing this, Sakura hurriedly stepped forward, took Tomoyo and Xia Yu's hands, and pulled them into the house.

"Then come in quickly. By the way, Xiaolang's family is here too. You have met them too."

Zhi Shi smiled and nodded, "I know. Mei Ling told us about it on the way here."

Xia Yu asked curiously, "After your identity change, how does it feel to see the little wolf mother again?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Sakura blushed and didn't answer. What else could she feel? Naturally, she felt shy, nervous, worried, and expectant.

But after actually seeing him, my worries disappeared, leaving only shyness, nervousness and anticipation.

But because the wolf cub's mother was still chatting with her father, she hadn't chatted with the wolf cub's mother much and was chatting with her sisters.

Seeing that Xiaoying didn't answer, Xia Yu didn't continue to ask. Anyway, Xiaoying's face couldn't hide the truth, and he could guess almost everything from Xiaoying's reaction.

Soon, he and Tomoyo were pulled into the living room by Sakura, and they saw Syaoran's family.

But before they could say hello, the four sisters who were originally surrounding the little wolf suddenly came over with a cry and surrounded them.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect you guys have grown so big."

"You're getting cuter and cuter. I really want you to be our brothers and sisters."

"How cute! Did you miss us? We have heard a lot about you from the little wolf."

"You are so cute, but Little Wolf always says bad things about you. Did Little Wolf bully you? Tell me, and I will teach Little Wolf a lesson for you."

In an instant, Xia Yu and Zhi Shi, who had just appeared, were surrounded by the four sisters and were touched all over.

Zhishi was fine, still smiling calmly in the face of her sisters' intimacy, but Xia Yu subconsciously shuddered, as he always felt that the way he was touched on the head was like touching a pet.

I don’t know how Li Xiaolang has managed to hold on for so many years. No wonder he rarely goes home after leaving home.

In addition, he seemed to have heard something strange from one of the sisters just now. Did Li Xiaolang secretly say bad things about him in front of these sisters?
Xia Yu subconsciously glanced at Li Xiaolang who was sitting on the sofa, but Li Xiaolang was sitting on the sofa properly and not looking away, without any guilty look.

"Be steady, we are guests now."

Looking at her four daughters still touching Xia Yu and Zhishi, Li Yelan had to cough lightly and became a little more serious.

If it was at home, it would be fine and she could tolerate it because they were guests, but now they were the guests and they could not be so presumptuous when visiting someone else's home.

"What does it matter? They obviously have no objection."

"Yes, yes, we haven't seen each other for so long, I just said hello."

"That's right, we were just saying hello."

"Right, right? It's okay, right?"

Although they said this, the sisters still let go of Xia Yu and Zhi Shi, but they still stood beside them with a fierce look in their eyes, wishing they could pounce on them and continue touching them.

Xia Yu, who had finally escaped from the clutches of the devil, breathed a sigh of relief. He had always been an extrovert and made others feel uncomfortable, but he didn't expect that he would actually feel uncomfortable one day.

It's terrible.

On the other side, seeing that her daughters had let go of Xia Yu, Li Yelan stood up and walked in front of him.

Compared to a few years ago when she had to lower her head, the taller Xia Yu is now able to look at her at eye level.

Looking at Xia Yu, whose childish face had already faded, Li Yelan bowed slightly and said seriously: "Thank you for taking care of Little Wolf over the years."

"No, no, he and I are friends, and friends are supposed to help each other." Xia Yu also quickly bowed in return and responded politely.

However, the conversation between the two made Li Xiaolang, who was sitting upright, look over with a face full of question marks.

What does it mean to take care of someone? This guy had taken care of him... Well, although he didn't want to admit it, this guy had indeed given him a lot of help and care.

But compared to caring for him, this guy obviously likes to play with him more. Now, whenever he stays with this guy, he always feels that this guy is planning to play with him.

Even at this moment, he felt that the other party seemed to want to see him make a fool of himself, so he came to Sakura's house to wish him a happy New Year.

Even though this possibility is small, but...

Maybe?

Li Xiaolang guessed maliciously about the purpose of Xia Yu's visit.

After thanking Xia Yu, Li Yelan added: "In addition to your care for Xiaolang, you also gave him expensive gifts. Those gifts are too expensive..."

"No, value is relative. Since I am willing to give it away, it doesn't matter to me."

As soon as Li Yelan opened her mouth, Xia Yu could guess why she said that. He guessed that it was because she had already tasted the spiritual tea he gave to Li Xiaolang and knew how extraordinary it was.

Or maybe he knew that he asked Kaito to teach Li Syaoran time magic, but he didn't ask for anything in return.

Although objectively speaking, both the spiritual tea and the magic teacher are extremely valuable, but subjectively speaking, he really didn't pay anything.

Therefore, in order to prevent Li Yelan from complicating the matter, he spoke directly first.

Li Yelan was slightly startled when she heard this, then she understood what Xia Yu meant. She couldn't help but sigh: "It's a blessing for Xiaolang to have you as his friend." "Yeah, I think so too. It's a blessing for him to have a good friend like me in his ten lifetimes."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

Why did he feel like he must have done something sinful in his previous life that caused him to meet Xia Yu?

Li Yelan was amused by Xia Yu's completely unmodest answer. She asked with a smile on her face, "When the time is right, I will go to your house with Little Wolf to have a chat. Is that okay?"

"No problem. Whenever you want to come, aunt, I'll prepare the bed for you." Xia Yu nodded in response.

If the elders want to visit the younger ones, then the younger ones naturally have no reason to refuse, not to mention that it is winter vacation now and they have nothing to do.

Seeing that Xia Yu did not refuse, Li Yelan nodded and sat back down. Xia Yu and Chishi also came to Fujitaka and greeted him.

"Hello uncle, we are here to wish you a happy new year."

"Yes, Happy New Year, uncle."

"Happy New Year to you too."

In response to the New Year's greetings from Tomoyo and Xia Yu, Fujitaka stood up with a smile, turned around and took out two Japanese paper envelopes with auspicious patterns such as the zodiac, pine, bamboo, plum, and Daruma from the cupboard, and handed them forward with both hands.

“Please take care of me this year as well.”

“Please take care of me this year as well.” ×2
In response to the envelope handed over by Fujitaka, Tomoyo and Xia Yu responded politely and reached out to take it.

This is similar to the Chinese custom of giving lucky money, called "お年玉", which literally means "gift from the God of the Year".

It originated from the Shinto belief of welcoming the gods at the New Year. In ancient times, people initially offered mirror cakes to the gods. Later, it evolved into viewing the sharing of mirror cakes as a gift from the gods, and it was eventually transformed into a modern form of currency.

Putting the envelope away casually, Xia Yu turned and walked towards Xiaoying. He reached out from behind and took out a gift box, then handed it to Xiaoying with a smile.

"Give."

"what is this?"

Seeing the gift box handed over by Xia Yu, Xiaoying reached out to take it and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is a gift, a New Year's gift."

Xia Yu chuckled and urged, "This is a gift that I spent a lot of effort to make. Come and take a look."

"Eh? Is that okay?"

"Of course, now is the right time, right place, and right people. It's just the right time for this gift to appear."

Hearing this, Xiaoying, who was already curious, became even more curious. After getting Xia Yu's confirmation, she sat on the sofa, opened the gift box, and took out a videotape from it.

Looking at the videotape in the gift box, Sakura tilted her head and said, "Videotape? Why is it a videotape?"

"You'll know when you see it, hehe~"

Xia Yu took the videotape from Xiaoying, then walked to the TV in the living room and asked Fujitaka, "Uncle, do you mind if I play this videotape on your TV?"

"Well, I don't mind."

Fujitaka shook his head slightly. Although Xia Yu said that this was a gift for Xiaoying and Li Syaoran, he was actually a little curious about what the video was in the tape.

After getting Fujitaka's affirmation, Xia Yu turned on the TV and then put the videotape in his hand into the videotape player.

Sitting on the sofa, Xiaoying blinked blankly as she watched Xia Yu operating the system. She suddenly had a sense of déjà vu; the scene in front of her seemed somewhat familiar.

The living room, the other people around me, the TV that's on...

It seemed like she had experienced this scene not long ago, but when did she experience it?

Just as Sakura was thinking about it, the TV in the living room had already lit up the picture through the videotape, and several large words were also displayed on the TV.

"Cardcaptor Sakura: Destiny's Contract?"

After blankly reading the title on the TV screen, Sakura was dumbfounded and said, "What is this?"

"This is the movie version of Cardcaptor Sakura, Fate's Contract."

Xia Yu looked at the video that started playing, nodded with satisfaction, came and sat down next to Tomoyo, then raised his head and said to Sakura.

"This is my New Year's gift to you and Li Xiaolang. How about it? It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Sakura was speechless, staring blankly at the scene on TV where she first faced the Clow Cards. She remembered this scene; it was the first time she encountered the flying cards, and it was also the beginning of her entry into the world of magic.

By the way, classmate Xia took a picture of this scene.

"Return to your original form, Clow Card!"

Listening to her own voice on TV, Sakura suddenly felt a sense of shame, a shame that even reached the point of escape.

How could it be so shameful to show my young self in front of my father and the wolf cub's mother?!
It's torture!

Feeling the gazes of others on herself, Sakura's face turned red and she lowered her head, wishing she could disappear from reality.

Now I remembered, this was the scene in her precognitive dream.

So this is the warning from the precognitive dream to her? ?
Uh...

(>﹏<)
How could such a thing happen! !
Wait, she remembered that there seemed to be a sentence in the precognitive dream: "Turn it off quickly"? Who shouted this?

Just as Sakura was thinking about it, the scene on TV suddenly jumped from her first encounter with the Clow Cards to the day when Li Syaoran had just transferred to the school.

The scene also jumps directly to the scene where the young Lee Syaoran starts to violently snatch Sakura's Clow Cards because of the Clow Cards.

Looking at the scene on TV where he was touching Sakura's skirt and trying to snatch the Clow Cards, Li Syaoran was completely dumbfounded.

Why? Why is this scene in the video! ?
It was obviously only him and Sakura at that time, so who took this photo?
Before the little wolf could figure out what was going on, his four sisters started talking one by one.

“So nasty.”

“How abominable.”

"So violent."

"What a jerk."

After each of them finished speaking, they turned to look at Li Xiaolang.

"Xiaolang, I didn't expect you to do such a terrible thing for the Clow Cards."

"That's absolutely abominable. Where are the etiquette you learned?"

“Martial arts is not about making you violent, it’s about teaching you how to stay calm and resilient in difficult situations.”

"That's right, Xiaolang, how could you do such a jerk thing."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

Hearing the words of his sisters and feeling the scrutiny of his mother, Li Xiaolang clenched his fists and trembled all over.

He raised his head tremblingly, not even caring about the gazes, and shouted directly.

“Turn it off now!!”
