The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

"It's... fixed."

Sakura stared blankly at the computer screen that had lit up, and at the restored content and data that she couldn't quite understand. Tears welled up instantly—tears of joy and excitement.

"Thank you, Xia!"

Sakura turned around excitedly and couldn't help but open her arms and rush towards Xia Yu.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu's expression changed instantly. He reacted quickly by pulling Zhi Shi next to him and making her stand in front of him.

With a soft smack, the two adorable girls ended up hugging each other.

Stickers are so nice.

Xia Yu sighed and promptly used the system to capture the scene.

"Um, Sakura, you're hugging me."

Tomoyo blushed and whispered a reminder. Hearing this, Sakura realized she had hugged the wrong person and shyly let go of her hand.

I couldn't help myself just now, but now that I've come to my senses, even though the person I'm hugging is Tomoyo, I still can't help feeling a little shy.

"Um... Xia, thank you so much."

"It's nothing, no need for formalities."

Xia Yu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about; it was really just a small favor for him. But the more he acted this way, the more Xiao Ying wanted to thank him.

Just as Sakura was pondering how to thank Xia Yu, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Sakura, what's going on here...?"

Fujitaka, who had just left, suddenly reappeared. Looking at the three little ones in the office and then at the office itself, he smiled gently and said, "Are you cleaning my office? My office is indeed a bit messy because of work. Thank you."

"No, that's not it. It's all thanks to Xia. I didn't do anything..."

Hearing her father say this, Xiaoying quickly shook her head, and at the same time, her gratitude towards Xia Yu deepened.

If it weren't for Xia, she might have already been crying and apologizing to her father. How could things have turned out like this, with even the office being cleaned spotless?

"No, Sakura, didn't you buy coffee for your uncle?"

Tomoyo smiled slightly, took Sakura's hand, and said to her, "Sakura, you helped too. If it weren't for you, no one would have been able to get coffee."

Although they were talking about coffee, Sakura realized that Tomoyo was referring to her sealing the Sleep Card.

"I……"

Xiaoying remained silent. At this moment, Xia Yu patted her shoulder and chuckled, "What's with all this talk of credit? We're friends, it's too formal to say such things."

As Fujitaka entered the office and saw the scene before him, he smiled and bent down to thank the three children. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, he still smiled and bowed.

"You're all good kids. Thank you, Sakura, for buying me coffee. And thank you, Tomoyo and Natsumi, for coming with Sakura to help. If you don't mind, you can come home with me later. I'll cook a big meal as a thank you."

"dad……"

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality."

"Me too, I don't have any dietary restrictions, I can eat any kind of fancy meal."

Chapter 129 A Birthday Without Expectations

Nighttime, the Kinomoto family home.

After a pleasant dinner, the two young guests went home.

Sakura's room.

The moon was already high in the sky outside the window, but Sakura, lying in bed, couldn't fall asleep. She had something on her mind and wasn't sleepy yet.

"Sakura, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Koko, who was lying next to Sakura's pillow, saw Sakura tossing and turning and refusing to sleep, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"Everything that happened today is fine. I visited your father, captured the Clow Cards, and the broken computer was fixed. There's nothing to worry about."

"You don't understand, Xiao Ke..."

Sakura sighed softly, which made Keroberos frown. He couldn't help but say, "How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me? Tell me!"

"I'm thinking about how to thank Xia. If Xia hadn't fixed my computer, my dad would probably have had to start all over again."

"But didn't your father already thank him with a big meal?"

"No, that was Dad's gratitude, not mine!"

Sakura lay on the bed and shook her head, replying, "Besides, I'm the one who broke the computer, and Xia helped me so much, but I don't know how to thank him."

"You're also trying to seal the Clow Cards, Sakura."

Xiao Ke climbed up to Xiao Ying's head and advised, "Besides, didn't that kid say there's no need to thank him? Repairing things is easy for him."

“This is different, Xiao Ke.”

Sakura stared blankly at the moon outside the window, then replied, "Even if Xia doesn't need anything, I can't really do nothing. Even if this help is nothing to Xia, it's a great help to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke probably understood what Xiao Ying was thinking, and replied, "Then why don't you give him a gift? A heartfelt gift will surely be enough to repay this kindness."

"But I don't know what Xia wants."

Sakura snapped out of her reverie and couldn't help but confide in Kero, "Xia is always cheerful and never shows any signs of sadness. He also seems indifferent to everything and doesn't seem to want anything in particular. What kind of gift should I give him?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ke was speechless.

Indeed, ordinary gifts cannot express one's feelings, but if you want to give a gift that suits the recipient's taste, you may not know what the recipient wants.

This seems to be a difficult problem.

"Can't you just ask him directly?"

"Do you think Xia will tell the truth if I ask her directly...?"

Sakura could almost guess how Xia Yu would respond to Xiao Ke's suggestion. He would either laugh and say he didn't need a gift, or he would just ask for a small item to get by. In any case, he would definitely not put her in a dilemma.

He was being kind and considerate towards her, but this kindness only caused her distress.

"Then there's nothing I can do. After all, when it comes to knowing Xia Xiaozi, I don't know as much as you and Zhi Shi do."

Xiao Ke decided to stop thinking and take a nap when faced with difficulties; that was its solution.

"Oh right, I can also ask Tomoyo!"

Sakura suddenly realized that since she couldn't think of a way to express her gratitude, she could simply ask Tomoyo.

Tomoyo is more perceptive than her and definitely knows Natsu better than she does. Besides, the two of them like to hang out together occasionally, so Tomoyo might just know what Natsu wants.

Having figured out a solution, Sakura felt much better and drifted off to sleep peacefully.

……

Time flies, sunrise and sunset.

Monday arrived in the blink of an eye.

In late September, the sun shone warmly.

There are only two or three days left until October, and it will be almost a month before they start school.

Sakura arrived at the classroom early, wanting to ask Tomoyo for help, but no matter how early she arrived, Natsume always seemed to be there first.

"Good morning, Xia."

Sakura greeted him somewhat awkwardly. If possible, she wanted to give Xia a surprise, preferably without Xia's knowledge, and then give her a gift that suited Xia's taste.

"Hmm... Good morning."

Xia Yu glanced at Xiao Ying strangely. He had a feeling that Xiao Ying was hiding something from him, and that it was related to him.

After greeting Xia Yu, Xiao Ying hurriedly returned to her seat, still feeling a little guilty because she was afraid that Xia Yu would guess what she was planning to do.

It's best not to talk to Xia for now; it wouldn't be good if she noticed.

"Sakura, is there something you want to ask me?"

However, before she could say anything, someone took the initiative to talk to her.

"Huh? No, no... well... absolutely not... I... I mean, Xia-kun, what are you talking about? Why would I have something to ask you?" Sakura waved her hands in a panic, stammering in rebuttal.

Xia Yu: "..."

Could you have made it any more obvious...?

"Forget it, it's nothing."

Since Sakura doesn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't press her. Anyway, whatever it is, if it's related to him, she'll eventually tell him.

"call……"

Seeing that Xia Yu didn't ask any more questions, Xiao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. If Xia Yu had continued to press her, she was afraid that she would have unknowingly revealed her thoughts, and that wouldn't have been a surprise.

Before long, the students entered the classroom one after another.

Regular classes have resumed.

It wasn't until lunch break that Sakura finally found an opportunity, hurriedly pulling Tomoyo away from the classroom, intending to find a quiet place to ask her properly.
