The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 672 Extra Chapter: Seaside
Note: This is the story between Xia Yu and Zhi Shi.

At the beach, the midday sun made the entire sandy beach glow golden, and colorful parasols were set up in a staggered pattern, with people's shadows crookedly tucked into folding chairs under them.

In the sweltering summer, the beach is never short of people.

In a secluded grove of trees on a cliff, far from the crowd, a figure sat with her knees bent. Her long, purplish-gray hair reached her waist, and her skin was fair and translucent, like solidified cream. A simple swimsuit accentuated her graceful curves.

The figure sat quietly on the grass, gazing at the distant sea, letting the sea breeze gently ruffle his hair.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the side, followed by a question.

"Tomoyo, what are you doing sitting here? Didn't you want to relax? Why don't you go play in the sea?" As the voice fell, another figure sat down next to her.

Hearing the question, Tomoyo, who was quietly watching the sea, turned her head and saw Natsumi wearing a floral shirt and shorts.

Both the shirt and shorts were quite flashy, but they looked surprisingly good on Xia Yu.

Zhi Shi did not answer Xia Yu's question, but instead looked away from the sea and asked, "Do you remember when was the last time we came to this beach?"

"Last time?"

Xia Yu raised an eyebrow, then seemed to remember something and said suddenly, "Last time."

He relaxed and lay down on the grass, gazing at the rustling shadows of the trees blocking the sunlight, and replied in a nostalgic tone, "The last time we sat here together, we were both just kids. No wonder you wanted to come here in the end."

They are now seniors in high school. Because of the heavy workload of senior year and the need to prepare for college entrance exams, Zhiyi, who had always been good at studying, is now feeling some pressure.

During the summer vacation, he took Tomoyo to other dimensional worlds to relax and enjoy the different scenery along the way.

It wasn't until the holiday was about to end that the two of them returned to their own world. They originally planned to do nothing for the last few days and just wait for school to start, but Tomoyo wanted to come to the beach one more time.

Now that Tomoyo had reminded him, he realized that Tomoyo was actually reminiscing about her elementary school days.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu chuckled and said, "What? Because high school studies are so demanding, you miss the carefree days of elementary school?"

At this point, he sighed again, "To be honest, I'm pretty miserable. I have to go to high school again, and it's a foreign high school."

"Even though this knowledge isn't that difficult for me, but... in the end, who would want to experience high school life again!"

Hearing the complaints around her, Tomoyo rolled her eyes slightly and replied, "If we really want to reminisce about the carefree days of elementary school, why don't we just go visit Tomoeda Elementary School?"

"That's true, then why did you come here specifically?"

In response to Xia Yu's curiosity, Zhi Shi looked back at the sea, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Do you remember what I said to you here back then?"

"Back then..."

Lying on the grass, Xia Yu was lost in his memories: "You said that if one day I want someone to listen to me, you can be that person anytime."

Realizing that Xia Yu hadn't forgotten what had happened here, Zhi Shi's smile widened again as she reminisced, "Yeah, but you didn't tell me anything back then."

"Back then, I didn't feel a sense of belonging to this world."

Thinking back to how I felt back then, and looking at Tomoyo now that she's grown up, and the scenery before me that hasn't changed much in the past few years.

Xia Yu said slowly, "Things have changed, but the peach blossoms remain. How could we have imagined who we are now back then?"

"Yes."

Tomoyo nodded, recalling the past when she and little Xia Yu sat here. Although their relationship was not bad, it could never compare to what it is now.
In a daze, she suddenly felt that time had passed quickly, and the days when Xia Yu carried her and flew in the sky to take pictures of Xiaoying seemed like just yesterday.

Now that they are adults, she rarely takes pictures of Sakura anymore.

Sakura also has her own life and her own privacy. The kind of close-knit filming they did when they were kids can't possibly continue forever.

The laughter of the past is gone forever.

Fortunately, she was not alone when she grew up. She had people she loved and people who loved her.

Tomoyo suddenly lay down as well, right next to Natsume, resting her head on his shoulder.

"I love you." "Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Xia Yu turned his head, and Zhi Shi didn't answer, but just gently pecked Xia Yu's lips.

Startled by the sneak attack, Xia Yu did not go any further. Instead, he closed his eyes and quietly enjoyed the peaceful moment.

After a moment of surprise, Xia Yu smiled slightly and then stopped bothering Zhi Shi.

Time passed slowly, and the daytime quickly came to an end.

Night, hotel.

"After lying on the grass outside for so long, I need to take a good bath."

Inside the room, Tomoyo, while taking off her clothes and walking into the bathroom, winked at Xia Yu and asked with a smile, "Want to shower together?"

“…I feel like I should be the one saying this.” Xia Yu said helplessly.

"so?"

"Forget it, forget it. Showering together is too much for me." Xia Yu waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the balcony. He wanted to get some fresh air.

Seeing this, Zhi Shi stared at Xia Yu's back for a few seconds before walking into the bathroom.

Xia Yu went to the balcony, looked at the night outside, took two deep breaths, and immediately calmed down, while feeling a little contempt for himself.

He and Tomoyo have been a couple for many years and they are both adults, so what is he backing down for?

Damn it, I'll definitely do it next time!
Not long after Tomoyo finished washing up, he also went to the bathroom for a good shower.

After leaving the bathroom, Xia Yu looked at Tomoyo sitting quietly on the edge of the bed and asked in confusion, "Why are you sitting on the edge of the bed? Aren't you going to sleep?"

"I slept for so long during the day, I'm not sleepy."

Tomoyo gently shook her head, then looked at Xia Yu, whose hair was still wet, and licked her lips, saying, "By the way, I think this is the most suitable way for me to relax."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Xia Yu's pajamas collar, threw him onto the bed, and then straddled his waist, bracing against his hands.

Looking down at Tomoyo, who was standing high above him, Xia Yu cleared his throat and understood.

No wonder he was so casual during the day; he was waiting for him here. Oh well, it's not like that anyway...

"This time it's not that simple."

Seemingly sensing what Xia Yu was thinking, Zhi Shi suddenly lowered her head, her dark purple eyes fixed on Xia Yu's eyes, filled with tender affection.

"We're adults now, aren't we?"

"Tomoyo, you..."

"That's right, since you're so reluctant to take the initiative, then let me do it!"

"..."

"..."

"and many more!"

"No! No more waiting!"

Meeting Tomoyo's unwavering gaze, Xia Yu said weakly, "If it's absolutely necessary, can we go home? I don't want to stay in the hotel."

"...Open the portal now. I know you can do it. Go home! Go inside!"

"it is good……"
