The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 644 Journey to England
Winter goes and spring comes, flowers bloom and fade.

The short third semester came suddenly and ended suddenly. In the blink of an eye and the turn of a page, the third semester was over.

"When this spring break is over, we will be promoted to the second grade of junior high school at Tomoeda Junior High School."

On the way home after school, Sakura suddenly sighed, then took a few quick steps with her hands behind her back, walked in front of the group, turned around and faced Tomoyo and the others.

"Wait until the second year of junior high school. Please give me your guidance, everyone."

"Well, please give me your advice." Li Xiaolang smiled slightly and nodded.

Tomoyo chuckled, put her hands behind her back and leaned forward a little, saying, "Please give me your guidance, Sakura~"

After the two of them finished talking, Xia Yu stroked his chin and pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's no problem for me to give you advice, but it depends on whether your stupid little head, Xiaoying, can understand it."

"Eh? What do you mean?"

Xia Yu's words made Xiaoying stunned. How could her stupid little head understand what he meant?

She... although she is a little silly sometimes, she is not stupid! Also, does this have anything to do with guidance?
Seeing Xiaoying looking at him with a bit of dissatisfaction, Xia Yu suppressed his smile and explained, "I remember that in the second year of junior high school, we not only need to learn inequalities and systems of equations, but also functions. Xiaoying, are you sure you can learn it?"

Sakura: (-﹏-`;)
Sakura was speechless for a moment, her eyebrows drooped sadly, and her expression looked quite bitter.

She opened her mouth and wanted to cry: "Why is math so difficult? I'm only in the second year of junior high school."

"No, no, no, it's because I'm only in the second grade that math is so simple."

Xia Yu suddenly shook his finger and said with a chuckle, "When you go to high school and college, you will know the true meaning of mathematics. It's Cthulhu."

"What is Cthulhu?"

“The fear of the unknown, the indescribable, the fear of not being able to be faced directly, and mathematics has exactly this characteristic.”

"..."

Well, so terrible!
Xiaoying's eyes trembled, and she was directly frightened by Xia Yu's words. Is mathematics such a scary thing?
"Xiaoying, don't listen to this guy's scare tactic. Math is actually not that difficult."

Li Xiaolang heard what the two were saying and quickly interrupted them. He looked at Xiaoying and said, "If there is anything you don't know, I can teach you slowly."

"Ah."

Xiaoying felt a little sweet in her heart when she heard this, but Xia Yu, who was standing beside her, said mercilessly when he heard this.

"Are you sure? Mathematics is not something that can be easily learned. Moreover, learning it yourself and teaching others to learn it are two completely different directions."

"Hmph~ You don't need to say that."

Li Xiaolang snorted lightly. Seeing this, Xia Yu wanted to continue making sarcastic remarks, but Zhishi on the side had already skillfully covered his mouth with his hand.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about studying when we go to school. Now is the holiday time."

Tomoyo smiled faintly, looked at Sakura and said, "Sakura, have you decided what to do during this spring break?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure yet."

Sakura shook her head slightly and said, "Maybe it'll be just like the previous spring breaks, just spending it simply."

"That's not bad, simple and happy."

"Yes, this kind of life is already very beautiful."

After walking and chatting for a while, the four of them came to a fork in the road. They said goodbye casually and separated in pairs.

After walking for a while, Xiaoying said goodbye to Li Syaoran and walked home alone, humming a song.

What to do this spring break?

Because they discussed this issue on the way back, Sakura couldn't help but think about it in her mind now.

"Huh? Did anyone send a letter?"

At the doorstep of her home, Sakura looked at the mailbox, opened it curiously, and took out the envelope inside.

After seeing the recipient and sender clearly on the envelope, she smiled subconsciously and hurriedly walked home with the envelope.

"Xiao Ke, Qiu Sui sent us a letter."

"What? That girl sent us a letter?"

When Xiaoke, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, heard this, he didn't care about the program playing on TV and flew over excitedly.

"Where did it come from? What did it say?"

"It was sent from England, but I haven't read what it says yet." Sakura sat down on the sofa with the envelope, then took out a paper cutter, cut the envelope open, and pulled out the letter inside.

"Although Akiho occasionally sends me messages, writing to me is still more special."

"Because the letter paper can be preserved, they are all precious memories." Xiao Ke added, and couldn't wait to say more.

"So what did the girl write?"

"Hmm...let me see."

Sakura unfolded the envelope and read as she read, "Akiho said that she has solved her family's main problems with Mr. Kaito, and now her family has become more humane."

"Oh - that's a good thing, what else?"

"She also said that she was able to achieve this situation thanks to our help, especially the help of Xia. In order to thank us, she specially chose the time when we were on vacation and wanted to invite us to her family as guests."

"A guest?"

Xiao Ke was startled and quickly asked, "So you will treat us with delicious food?"

"…Why do you always think of food first, Xiaoke?"

Sakura looked at Xiao Ke in silence, but she knew it was useless to ask, so although she felt helpless, she still replied: "There should be, maybe they will treat us with local specialties."

“Local specialties?”

Xiao Ke muttered, thinking about the local specialties that are unique to the UK, and said with a painful expression: "The only specialties I can think of are fish and chips..."

"What's wrong with fish and chips? Why do you look so ugly?" Sakura asked curiously, looking at the mask of pain on Xiaoke's face.

"…That's because when I lived in England with Kuro, I almost vomited from eating this fish and chips."

Xiao Ke recalled those painful days and sighed, "There are so many Clow Cards, why didn't Clow create a gourmet card for us? Damn it!"

"Maybe Mr. Kuro thinks that food created by magic has no soul?" Sakura guessed.

"What's the use of a soul? Can a soul make food more delicious? It's obvious to me that Kuro wanted to see my painful expression, so he specially gave me those things to eat in England."

Xiao Ke said this viciously, then turned to look at Xiao Ying and said, "Xiao Ying, you can create cards now, how about creating a transparent gourmet card?"

"This one……"

Sakura smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, Akiho said in the letter that she invites all of us. I have to go tell Tomoyo and the others as soon as possible."

"Hey, Sakura, don't change the subject!"

"I can't hear you~"

……

into the night.

In the pitch-black dream, a faint light suddenly appeared, flickering and the light was quite soft.

Gradually, the faint light expanded, and as the soft light spread, the faint light revealed its true form, which was a full moon.

The full moon cast a soft light into the dark dream, and under the illumination of this light, the dream gradually emerged.

This is a strange city, but the most eye-catching thing is the ancient clock tower in the center of the city.

The bell tower is nearly 100 meters high and adopts the Gothic architectural style. Its appearance is solemn and elegant. On each of the four sides of the bell tower, there is a huge clock face. Dong——!
Suddenly, a bell rang, and the only figure in the dream world opened his eyes.

Sakura opened her eyes hazily, looked at the strange city in front of her and the clock tower that rang the bell, and muttered subconsciously to herself.

"Where is this?"

As soon as she asked this question, the world in her dream changed again. Countless strange and colorful lines outlined a magic circle, which lit up above the clock tower.

The magic circles are different from each other, but they are superimposed on each other. A magical power that seems to be condensed from despair emerges from the center of the superimposed magic circles.

Feeling the despair that seemed like the destruction of the world, Sakura's face gradually turned pale, and silent despair suddenly emerged from the bottom of her heart.

There was no sign and no reason.

Suddenly, in this despair, a card emerged from her arms, and a faint light dispelled the despair in her heart, just like the dawn illuminating the darkness.

The night is darkest before dawn, but the dawn of hope will always come.

"hope……"

Muttering this word, Sakura frowned in her sleep, and then slowly opened her eyes, her dark green eyes still revealing a hint of confusion.

"Hope for what?"

Sakura, who was mumbling in a daze, sat up and rubbed her eyes. After a moment, her hazy consciousness finally came back to her and she exclaimed.

"Oh no, what time is it now!?"

She had clearly set the alarm, but why didn't it ring? It would be bad if she missed the agreed time.

She had already made an appointment with Tomoyo and others to accept Akiho's invitation to go to England. It would not be good if she was late and made Tomoyo and others wait for her for a long time.

As she thought about it, Sakura quickly looked at the alarm clock, but when she saw that the hand just pointed to six o'clock, she subconsciously patted her chest.

"It's okay, it's only six o'clock."

She set the alarm for seven o'clock, but unexpectedly she woke up an hour earlier. She thought the alarm had malfunctioned and didn't go off.

After a small panic, Sakura, who was still a little sleepy, woke up completely, and the vague dream was forgotten after she woke up.

She stretched out in bed, preparing to get up first. Even though it was still early, she was already completely awake and couldn't fall asleep again.

Besides, they would still be on the plane for more than ten hours, which was enough time for her to catch up on some sleep.

"Xiao Ke, it's time to get up and wash up."

As Sakura shouted, she took Xiaoke out of the drawer where he was sleeping and shook him gently.

"It's so early, let me sleep a little longer..." Xiaoke, who was being carried, mumbled a few times and didn't want to get up at all.

"So do you still want to visit Qiu Sui's house? If not, just go back to sleep."

"Um!?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ke, who was still in a daze, was instantly awakened. He quickly forced himself to wake up and said, "Oh - I'm completely awake!"

Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Okay, okay, I will take you there even if you fall asleep. Let's go wash up first."

After saying that, she carried Xiaoke and walked out the door.

A few moments.

Fujitaka naturally had no reason to object to Sakura being invited by her friends to visit England, even though no adults were required to accompany her.

After all, he had long known that his daughter was no ordinary person, and Sakura was not going alone, but with her friends.

With Li Xiaolang and reliable friends as his companions, Fujitaka had no worries at all about going abroad.

"Have a safe trip, Sakura."

"You don't need me to come with you this time, so just be careful."

Looking at Sakura, who had already packed her things and was ready to go out with her bag on her back, Fujitaka and Touya said goodbye to each other.

"Well, I'll bring back some specialties. Bye!"

Sakura also waved goodbye and walked out of the house with an expectant smile.

Looking at the closed door, Touya couldn't help but look at Fujitaka and said, "You really aren't worried at all, Dad."

"Because Sakura is not a child that people worry about."

Fujitaka smiled softly and replied, "Besides, Sakura is not traveling alone, she is with her friends."

Hearing this, Touya thought about it and had to reply: "Yes, there is really no need to worry about them."

After talking about Sakura, Fujitaka looked at Touya and asked curiously, "Sakura was invited to a friend's house this spring break, what about you?"

"Me? I'll probably still work with Xue."

"Speaking of which, you've been staying at Yuecheng's house quite often recently? It feels like it's almost become your second home."

"Yes, yes?"

"Please take care of yourself."

"What the hell are you talking about, Dad!!"

……

airport.

waiting area.

"This is my first time to go to the UK. I'm really curious about what it's like there."

While waiting to board the plane, Sakura held her bag in her arms, her words full of anticipation.

Xia Yu, who was standing by, noticed this and replied, "I advise you not to expect too much. After all, with the climate over there... I think we may not be able to see the sun for a while."

“Ugh!?”

Hearing this, Sakura exclaimed a little and said in a lost voice: "Is the weather over there so bad?"

"Anyway, you have to carry an umbrella with you at all times when you travel."

After casually replying, Xia Yu suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, do you know what the full name of the United Kingdom is?"

"Full name? Isn't Britain the United Kingdom?"

Sakura replied blankly. Li Xiaolang heard this and coughed lightly, "Sakura, the full name of the United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland."

"Eh!?"

Sakura opened her eyes wide, and after a few seconds she replied, "So the full name of the United Kingdom is so long? I learned that."

"Wrong, this is not the full name of the United Kingdom."

Xia Yu suddenly spoke up and laughed, "The full name of the United Kingdom is obviously Little Britain and the United Kingdom, which almost lost Northern Ireland."

"So, so long..."

Sakura was dumbfounded again. This name was even longer than the one Syaoran had just mentioned. Why was the full name of Britain so long? And it sounded so strange?
"You are talking nonsense again. That's obviously a name you made up." Li Xiaolang complained speechlessly. How could he be fooled by such popular science that he could tell the problem at the first hearing?

"Don't doubt it. If you don't believe it, you can go ask the locals in the UK and see what they think of this name."

"..."

Li Xiaolang was speechless for a moment, and at the same time a question arose in his mind: Is there really a meaning behind this name?
