The sunny boy in Cardcaptor Sakura

Chapter 678 Extra Chapter: The Wedding
Daoji family.

Watching Tomoyo's parents leave together, Xia Yu was still somewhat incredulous. He couldn't help but look at Tomoyo sitting beside him and ask, "So that's all? We can have our wedding in a month?"

"Yes, is there any other question?" Tomoyo asked with a smile.

"I'm just a little dazed."

Xia Yu's eyes were filled with a hint of confusion as he murmured, "They just agreed like that? Without even a question? It feels a little unreal."

"Hehe~ Yeah, it does seem a bit unreal."

Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, then said, "I guess Mom and Dad probably anticipated this day, which is why they agreed so readily."

"Hmm...that's possible."

Xia Yu nodded slightly. After all, he and Zhi Shi had been dating for nearly seven or eight years. If they were an ordinary couple, they would have been talking about marriage long ago.

However, due to their age, they had never considered this matter. Now that they are of age, it is normal for them to talk about marriage.

With that in mind, Xia Yu stopped thinking about it. Since both Zhi Shi's father and mother had agreed to their desire to hold a wedding, there was no need to ask any further questions.

The important thing now is the wedding preparations, since we only have a month to prepare. We need to do more than just set up the venue; we also need to prepare the wedding dress and other formal attire.

Furthermore, they also need to send wedding invitations to acquaintances, as this is a major life event for them, and they definitely want to invite all their acquaintances.

And the people he knows, including Tomoyo, are not just people from this world.

"Okay, let's start preparing now."

Xia Yu stood up and looked at Zhi Shi, but in response to Xia Yu's words, Zhi Shi gently shook her head, winked at Xia Yu, and said, "Don't rush, we still have a month to prepare. I want to show you something first."

"What are you looking at?"

Zhi Shi smiled mysteriously without explaining, but got up and pulled Xia Yu upstairs to her room.

After arriving at the room, she took Xia Yu to the sewing room, opened a wardrobe, and proudly showed Xia Yu the result of her hard work.

"How about it?"

"Wow……"

Xia Yu gasped involuntarily. Before him was a men's suit. Although it didn't have many fancy decorations, it was clearly a wedding suit.

Noticing Xia Yu's amazement, Zhi Shi smiled and said with narrowed eyes, "This is a dress that I sewed stitch by stitch especially for your wedding day."

Hearing Tomoyo's words, Xia Yu asked in surprise, "Wait, so Tomoyo, you already knew we might get married this year?"

"Do not."

Tomoyo shook her head and smiled, "I just suddenly had a feeling, so I sewed the wedding dress while the inspiration was still fresh."

"If I'm not sure if we'll get married this year, I'll alter this dress into a casual outfit. Anyway, I'll eventually give the dress to you."

Hearing Zhi Shi's explanation, Xia Yu reached out and stroked the dress in front of him, slightly moved.

The next second, he laughed and said, "Then we really are on the same wavelength. I was actually planning to give you a surprise."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Shi looked puzzled, but Xia Yu had already taken out the wedding dress that had been sewn and was showing it to her.

"Do you remember the promise I made? Your wedding dress must be sewn by me, stitch by stitch."

Seeing the women's wedding dress that Xia Yu took out, Zhi Shi's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it.

A few seconds later, she looked up and smiled, "Thank you, Xia-kun~"

"Really, why are you thanking us when we're family?"

Xia Yu reached out and ruffled Zhi Shi's hair, then said expectantly, "Why don't we try it on now? If it doesn't fit, I can get it altered."

"Yeah, let's go together."

Tomoyo also took out the dress she had sewn and handed it to Natsumi.

Before long, the sound of changing clothes could be heard from inside the room.

……

In the following days, the couple, who were about to get married, began to busy themselves with preparations for their wedding a month later.

First, regarding the wedding venue, after discussion, the two unanimously decided on Daidoji Manor, since it has a very large courtyard.

Besides, most of their acquaintances live in Tomoeda Town, so there's no need to go to another place to hold the wedding.

Once the location is decided, the next step is to set up the wedding venue. However, this doesn't require them to worry too much, since there's a wedding planning company to handle it.

Compared to those who plan their own weddings, wedding planning companies that specialize in this field are clearly more professional.

As for what type of wedding they wanted to have, they had already decided on it when they were dating, otherwise the suit and wedding dress wouldn't have been sewn so early.

Xia Yu initially wanted to have a traditional Chinese wedding, but then he thought that he was the only Chinese person in the family and that he didn't have any parents or relatives, so he gave up the idea.

As for a Japanese-style wedding, well, he didn't like the traditional Japanese wedding attire, so he didn't consider it.

Therefore, after discussing it with Tomoyo, the two of them decided to have a simple Western-style wedding.

In any case, most of their friends and family are ordinary people, so they only need to have a simple wedding.

However, "ordinary" is relative. The venue for the wedding—Daodao Temple Manor—exudes an elegant atmosphere and is already quite dignified without needing excessive decoration.

Once the main events are finished, all that's left is to wait and invite friends to their wedding.

The Wood family.

"marry!?"

Sakura, who had been invited to the wedding, stared at Tomoyo in disbelief, her surprise clearly showing in her questioning tone: "So sudden?"

"That was quite sudden."

Tomoyo nodded and smiled slightly, "But you've been dating for seven or eight years and you're still not married. Isn't that even stranger?"

"This……"

Sakura paused, then suddenly realized that what he said made sense. She nodded and said, "Yes, it's a bit strange that we haven't gotten married after dating for so long."

"Since even you, Sakura, find it strange."

A sly glint flashed in Tomoyo's eyes as she chuckled, "So when are you and Li getting married? You've been dating for almost seven or eight years now."

“Ugh!?”

Startled by Tomoyo's sudden mention, Sakura gasped, her face instantly turning bright red: "I...I and Syaoran..."

"Don't forget, even Princess Sakura of Clow Country is married. Of all the Sakuras I know, you're the only one who's not married yet~"

"Woo..."

Sakura lowered her head shyly. Since Tomoyo's words were all true, she didn't know how to refute them and could only hang her head and remain silent.

Seeing this, Tomoyo chuckled inwardly and stopped teasing Sakura. After presenting the wedding invitation, she waved and said, "I'm off then. Don't forget to come to my wedding!"

"it is good……"

Sakura's faint, mosquito-like voice drifted in, and Tomoyo's teasing words still echoed in her mind.

It's a bit strange that they've been dating for seven or eight years without getting married. Tomoyo is married now, so what about him and Syaoran...?

"Woo..."

……

It's March, the sun is shining brightly, and cherry blossoms are in full bloom—a truly beautiful time of year.

Warm sunlight pierced through the thin mist, gently illuminating the meticulously decorated courtyard. Pure white chairs were neatly arranged along the carpet, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers and an indescribable tranquility befitting an important moment.

The venue setup was mostly decided by the wedding planning company, and Xia Yu and Zhi Shi only made minor changes to make the whole venue look more harmonious and romantic.

At this moment, the wedding has not yet started, and the two protagonists are not together.

Standing under the archway filled with fresh roses, Xia Yu's heart was beating faster than usual beneath his wedding attire. Wearing the wedding suit that Zhi Shi had sewn for him, and waiting for the upcoming wedding, he felt a long-lost sense of nervousness.

He's getting married too?!
That's amazing, I've never experienced anything like this before in all my years. "You seem a little nervous?"

Suddenly, a figure dressed in a green robe, exuding an ethereal aura, walked over and smiled at Xia Yu, saying, "No need to be nervous. I have already performed a divination for you. Today is the day of Heavenly Virtue, so everything is auspicious."

Looking at his counterpart from another world who had come to strike up a conversation, Xia Yu patted his chest and said, "I know, but this is a wedding, anyone would be nervous."

Although he had no parents or relatives to invite on his wedding day, he could certainly invite his counterparts from other worlds to attend.

After sending invitations to all his other selves in the chat group, on the wedding day, all the other selves in the group came to this world to attend his wedding.

The Xia Yu who came to talk to him was his counterpart in the cultivation world. Although he looked ethereal and quite eye-catching, under the cover of magic, everyone else would only think that this cultivation Xia Yu was an ordinary person.

Looking at Xia Yu's otherworldly appearance, Xia Yu suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, since you joined the group earlier than me, are you married?"

He was quite curious: out of all Xia Yu's, which ones were married? And which ones were still single?
Upon hearing Xia Yu's question, the cultivator Xia Yu smiled and said, "Of course not, but I do have a Daoist partner."

"A Daoist partner? You're really quite carefree."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu asked again, "So, who in the group has gotten married? I can't be the first Xia Yu to get married, can I?"

"No, I remember the first one to get married was some tomb raider." Suddenly, another Xia Yu with long gray-gray gradient hair walked over.

"Tomb raiders... If that guy heard this, he'd definitely shout that he's a legitimate archaeologist and that the tomb raider label is a slander." Seeing that Xia Yu and his group seemed to be talking about something, the others gathered around and started chatting casually.

"Every time he and his wife went to a tomb, one of the tombs collapsed. Can this be a proper archaeologist? It's lucky that the tombs didn't have any living owners, otherwise he would have had to pay for the damages alone."

"Indeed, but if it really comes down to compensation, he doesn't need to pay it. His wife is a true Union Jack from London, and she's very wealthy."

Listening to the others' idle chatter, Xia Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "The tomb raider you're talking about isn't me from Tomb Raider, is it?"

"Yeah, he was the first to hold a wedding with Laura, the next one is that guy from the interdimensional communication, and the one after that is..."

Seeing that he had started counting his other selves one by one, Xia Yu smiled sheepishly, not expecting that there were quite a few of his other selves who had gotten married.

Thinking about it that way, he didn't seem so nervous anymore.

Thinking of this, he looked into the depths of the courtyard, where the gate leading to the main house was tightly closed; that was where his bride, whom he was about to welcome, would be.

……

Meanwhile, inside the Daidoji residence.

Tomoyo looked at herself in the mirror, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, and was momentarily dazed.

This wedding dress, hand-sewn by Xia Yu, perfectly complemented her elegant figure, but its significance was far more important than its outward appearance.

When the day finally arrived, she found her heart pounding even though she had been prepared.

She started to get a little nervous.

Are you a little nervous?

Daidouji Sonomi stood behind her daughter, carefully adjusting the edge of her veil: "That's normal. After all, it's the most important day of your life. I bet that kid is even more nervous than you."

Hearing this, Tomoyo's lips curled up slightly: "I guessed so."

"Hehe~ But that kid's skills are really good. I didn't expect him to be able to sew wedding dresses." Daidouji Sonomi looked at Tomoyo, who was wearing a wedding dress, with gentle eyes.

A few seconds later, she gently stroked her daughter's cheek, and all her unspoken words finally turned into a tender "Let's go."

"Ah."

Tomoyo nodded vigorously, and picked up the carefully arranged bouquet—a small bouquet of Endless Summer and Magnolia, fresh and elegant.

Endless Summer is Xia Yu's favorite flower, while Magnolia is hers. When the flowers they both love come together, they become the bouquet for their wedding.

"Are you ready?"

Sakura, dressed in a light pink bridesmaid dress, stood at the door with a smile brighter than the sun on her face, her eyes filled with pure joy and blessings.

"Ok!"

Tomoyo took a deep breath and gently placed her hand on Sakura's outstretched arm.

"let's go."

……

patio.

As the melodious wedding march softly began, all the wedding guests fell silent, their faces beaming with blessings, their eyes fixed on the slowly opening door.

As Xia Yu watched the slender figure gradually become clearer under the sunlight, standing beneath the archway, his heart almost stopped.

At the end of the carpet, Tomoyo, arm in arm with Sakura, walked slowly but firmly toward him.

The veil obscured her face, but it couldn't hide her eyes, which were filled with tenderness and smiles. The wedding dress he had sewn himself made Tomoyo even more beautiful at that moment.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely, yet it also seemed to pass in an instant. During this time, Xia Yu felt as if everything around him had turned into a blurry background.

Against this blurred background, only the beautiful woman in the foreground is clearly visible.

Finally, the bride, dressed in her wedding gown, arrived before her groom.

Sakura gently placed Tomoyo's hand into Xia Yu's slightly stiff hand. That instant touch miraculously soothed the last trace of his tension.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu held Zhi Shi's hand tightly, and looked down at her smiling eyes through the hazy veil.

No words are needed; all the affection flows in the exchange of glances.

Looking away, Xia Yu surveyed the guests around him: his classmates from Tomoeda Town, Sakura's family, Syaoran's family, Eriol's family, Tomoyo's family, and even friends he had specially invited from other worlds...

Their presence made the wedding even more meaningful.

In the presence of all their friends, and guided by the priest's gentle yet solemn voice, they exchanged vows that were already etched in their hearts.

"Mr. Xia Yu, do you take Ms. Daidouji Tomoyo to be your wife, to love her, to be faithful to her, whether she is poor or sick or disabled, until death do you part?"

Hearing the question in his ear, Xia Yu gazed into Zhi Shi's eyes and replied, "I do."

These three simple words, spoken at this moment, carry immense weight.

"Miss Daidouji Tomoyo, do you take Mr. Natsume to be your husband, to love him, to be faithful to him, whether he is poor or sick or disabled, until death do you part?"

Tomoyo tilted her head slightly, and through the veil, her smile was as gentle as ever: "I do."

The voice was clear and bright, filled with the same unwavering commitment.

"Now, the groom may kiss the bride."

Hearing the final declaration, Xia Yu gently lifted Zhi Shi's veil, revealing her carefully made-up face.

They looked at each other in silence, then suddenly smiled. Immediately afterward, they moved closer to each other, their faces flushed with shyness and overflowing with happiness, and gave each other a precious and lingering kiss.

Applause and cheers erupted at that moment, engulfing the entire courtyard.

At the same time, with Sakura using the Hanafuda card, petals fell from the sky, like blessing fairies dancing and swirling around Xia Yu and Tomoyo.

Daidoji Sonomi watched the newlyweds embracing, quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, leaned against her husband's chest, and showed a relieved and gratified smile on her face.

Sakura, secretly using magic, nestled in Syaoran's arms. The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with the deepest blessings for their best friend.

A moment later, the newlyweds, who had been embracing and kissing, separated. Zhi Shi leaned against Xia Yu's chest, feeling the same rapid and powerful heartbeat emanating from his chest.

She raised her head slightly and looked at Xia Yu, who had become her husband. Her thoughts suddenly drifted back to the past, back to the time when they first met, got to know each other, and fell in love.

"Xia-kun~"

Her voice was tinged with laughter as she asked in a voice only he could hear, "You have a home now, a home we share."

Xia Yu looked down at his wife, who was smiling radiantly in his arms. He tightened his arms around her, pulling her closer, and whispered in her ear, "Yes, I have a home now."

Now, he was certain once again that he could not live without the person in his arms.

He is no longer alone; he has a home and a lover. He has left a deep mark on this world.

The sun shines brightly, petals fall like rain, and a new chapter in Xia Yu and Zhi Shi's lives begins gently yet firmly in this courtyard surrounded by love and blessings.

I only wish for peaceful and tranquil years, and for warmth and comfort to accompany me.
