Sakura doesn't need much explanation. She's not the type to visit other people's homes often. If it weren't for the shield incident last semester, she probably still wouldn't know where Tomoyo's house is.

After hearing Tomoyo's reason, Xia Yu really wanted to retort, "You seem to be using the 'friend' reason a bit too much today, but..."

"Fine, we're friends after all."

Xia Yu shrugged and did not refuse. As a sunny young man with many friends, it was necessary to help his friend if he had a need.

Although he didn't think it was any kind of necessary help.

Hearing Xia Yu agree, Tomoyo winked at Sakura and hurriedly followed.

Although she didn't quite understand why Tomoyo suddenly wanted to go to Natsu's house again, Sakura wisely didn't ask. She wasn't Kero; she was still very smart.

Even in math, her worst subject, she was smarter than Xiao Ke.

The three of them wandered around, chatting as they went, and soon arrived home, Xia Yu's home.

Although it's called a home, it's actually a mansion. While it's far smaller than the super-large estate of the wealthy woman Tomoyo, it's much larger than Li Xiaolang's house.

Since it's a foreign country, Xia Yu couldn't just suddenly bring out the entire estate; a large mansion was already the limit.

Even if he could exchange Sunshine Points for a manor, it would obviously not be worth it. He would only choose to use Sunshine Points to solve problems when he encountered situations that could not be resolved by existing means.

Anyone who has played games knows one thing: cheating might feel good for a moment, but that pleasure is only temporary.

After you've had your fill of a game, you can easily switch to another one to continue having fun, but Earth Online is clearly not that convenient.

Either restart, or play it all the way through.

"Wow, this is Xia's house."

Sakura looked up at Xia Yu's house; its exterior was completely different from Li's house.

"Please come in."

Xia Yu pushed open the door and invited Tomoyo and Sakura inside.

Just then, the butler, who was in charge of managing all the affairs of the mansion, saw Xia Yu return and quickly stepped forward, saying, "Welcome back, young master. Are these two your friends?"

"That's right, have someone bring three cups of tea and some snacks to my room."

"Yes, Master."

After the butler turned and left, Zhi Shi asked, "Xia-kun, who was that old gentleman just now?"

"I can treat the butler in charge of managing the mansion as my guardian, since I am an orphan living alone."

Because he is still a child, he must have a guardian in name only, otherwise it will be inconvenient for him to do anything.

The butler and servants were included when they redeemed their identities from the system, so there was no fear of any problems arising. In the butler's memory, he might even have been watched by them grow up.

In short, it's about the relationship between players and NPCs.

"So you're Xia's guardian?" Tomoyo's eyes flickered, as if she had thought of something.

"Oh, right, Sakura, come and take a look at this."

For some unknown reason, Xia Yu chuckled and suddenly waved to Xiaoying.

When he visited Tomoyo's house, he mentioned that he also had a private cinema where he could play Sakura's music. Although he only said that to tease Sakura at the time, he wasn't lying about the private cinema; he did indeed have one in his room.

Anyway, Sakura doesn't know that when he plays Sakura's video on it, he will see Sakura blushing with embarrassment once again.

"what are you looking?"

Xiaoying was completely unaware of Xia Yu's sinister intentions; instead, she followed in his footsteps with great interest.

She doesn't need to cook dinner tonight, so she has plenty of time after school.

"Excuse me, Xia, I need to use the restroom. I'll come find you and Sakura in a bit." Just then, Tomoyo suddenly stopped following.

Before Xia Yu could say anything, Zhi Shi said again, "Don't worry, I can have the maid lead the way for me."

Hearing Tomoyo say that, Xia Yu nodded: "Alright then, Sakura and I will go up first. The servants here all know where my room is."

After saying that, Xia Yu led Sakura toward his room. Seeing this, Tomoyo also walked toward the nearest maid.

"Hello, could you please take me to see the butler?"

"Ok?"

The maid, who was originally planning to take Tomoyo to the toilet, was taken aback when she heard this. She had just said that she wanted to go to the toilet, so why was she going to find the butler?

However, as a qualified maid, she knew the importance of speaking less and doing more. Since the young master was willing to bring her friend into the house, she should just go along with what the other party wanted.

It's a pity that their young master was laughing and joking all the time, otherwise, just based on the fact that he brought two female friends home, she would have said something like, "It's been a long time since I've seen the young master smile."

The maid kept walking while indulging in her inner fantasies.

Before long, they encountered the housekeeper, who was about to go back to work.

"Huh? What's going on here...?"

The butler looked at the maid who led Tomoyo over with a slight puzzlement, and the maid took the opportunity to explain, "This child has something she wants to talk to you about."

After saying that, the maid nodded to Tomoyo and left.

Tomoyo bowed slightly to the departing maid in gratitude, then approached the still somewhat puzzled butler and said, "Hello, I am Daidouji Tomoyo. May I ask you some questions?"

"Daodao Temple..."

The butler pondered the name. Wasn't this the Daidoji Group, the company the young master had asked them to partner with and invest in? Could it be...?

"Daodou Temple Garden is yours..."

"She is my mother."

So that's how it is. This girl is the daughter of the president of the Daidoji Group.

No wonder the young master wanted them to cooperate with the Daidoji Group. Did he have his eye on their daughter? That's why he tried to win her favor beforehand, preparing for the future?

At that moment, the butler seemed to understand something, and his gaze towards Tomoyo softened.

No wonder whenever he asked about the young master's decisions, the young master would always say, "You'll know in the future." It turns out that "in the future" was now. I didn't expect it to be so soon.

"Is there any problem?"

Noticing that the butler's gaze had suddenly softened, Tomoyo politely asked.

She wasn't surprised that the other person knew her mother, because her mother was actually quite famous. She was not only the president of the Daidoji Group, but also the granddaughter of Tengu Maki, the head of the Tengu Zaibatsu.

"No, it's nothing. What do you want to ask?" The butler withdrew his gaze and asked softly.

"Um... I'd like to ask about Xia-san, is that alright?"

"Young Master?" The butler couldn't help but feel a little gratified.

It's actually a two-way trip, young master is quite something.

"Yes, please come with me."

The butler smiled slightly and led Tomoyo toward the reception room. Since they were going to talk about the young master they served, they couldn't just stand in the corridor.

Seeing this, Tomoyo smiled and followed.

Before long, an old man and a young boy were seated.

Because time was tight, Tomoyo didn't chat and went straight to the point.

"Excuse me, how does Xia usually celebrate her birthday? When I asked Xia about her birthday today, I found that she doesn't seem to care about it at all."

"It's the young master's birthday..."

The butler sighed softly and recalled, "Perhaps because he lost his parents at a young age, the young master doesn't care about his birthday at all, and he doesn't even care about his age. If we hadn't helped him remember, he probably wouldn't even know how old he is now."

"This……"

Upon hearing this somewhat outrageous story, Tomoyo was speechless. Could there really be such a side to Natsumi's optimistic exterior?

“Starting three years ago, when the young master was seven years old, every year on his birthday, he would climb up to the roof by himself and stare at the moon in a daze. We don’t know why the young master does this, and he doesn’t seem to want to tell us.”

“We originally wanted to invite the young master’s friends to our home to celebrate his birthday, but unfortunately, the young master never tells us about these things, so even if we have the idea, there’s nothing we can do. Moreover, for some reason, the young master suddenly wanted to come to this place to study this year, which means that all our previous contact with him has been severed.”

"So, Xia-kun has never properly celebrated her birthday?"

After listening to the butler's account, Zhi Shi asked a question. The butler sighed, nodded, and did not refute her.

"Although as a servant I shouldn't have too many thoughts about the young master who is his master, I can't help but want to do something for him whenever I see him all alone. After all, I watched him grow up."

"Well……"

Sensing the genuine emotion in the butler's tone, Tomoyo also fell into thought.

She originally just wanted to offer Sakura some advice on how to get Sakura to thank Natsume, but she indirectly learned that Natsume's birthday was just a few days away, and that Natsume hadn't really celebrated her birthday properly yet.

"Butler, I have an idea..."

Tomoyo smiled gently. Since Natsu has never properly celebrated her birthday before, let's start with this one.

A few minutes later, Tomoyo left the reception room.

She had already discussed it with the butler. Since the butler wanted to invite Xia's friends to the birthday party, and she also wanted Xia to have a good time celebrating her birthday, it was a perfect match.

By inviting Xia's close friends and having the housekeeper decorate the venue, Xia will surely have an unforgettable birthday experience.

Moreover, this is a surprise, so they need to keep it a secret from Xia.

While recalling the plan, Tomoyo thought about who to invite. It certainly couldn't be the whole class. Not only did the number seem a bit too many, but Natsu wasn't familiar with every classmate either.
