The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

The three of them walked towards the classroom together, but Xia Yu and Zhi Shi were one step ahead of Xiao Ying, browsing through the photos and videos they had taken.

"These photos are really great. I didn't know you were such a good photographer, Xia."

"Oh, no, Tomoyo, you're much better at taking pictures. You captured Sakura so cutely. Let's keep up the good work together!"

Okay, let's do our best together!

Sakura, who was a step behind, heard Xia Yu and Tomoyo talking and couldn't help but shed tears silently in her heart. She was not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted.

Damn it, she already had a vague feeling of being excluded.

Chapter 16 is not included.

There weren't many classes in elementary school, so after only a few lessons, school was suddenly over.

This made Xia Yu feel a little emotional, realizing that his elementary school days were so wonderful, with no evening self-study sessions and so little homework.

It's true that you can only appreciate things through comparison. Only after graduating from elementary school can you clearly feel how wonderful everything in elementary school was, and even the teachers seemed much more agreeable.

"Huh? Xia, you're awake?"

After school, Tomoyo wanted to wake Xia Yu, who had unknowingly fallen asleep on his desk again, but found that Xia Yu was already awake.

"My biological clock is reminding me that it's time to get out of school."

Xia Yu patted his chest and chuckled.

"Really? I thought Xia Yu would sleep until dark." Zhi Shi covered her mouth and chuckled, making Xia Yu blush.

Tomoyo wasn't wrong; if Koi hadn't woken him up, he probably would have slept until dark.

"So this is the kind of person you see me as? It's heartbreaking, Tomoyo. I have no love for you anymore. My heart has been closed off."

However, while it was true, he absolutely could not admit it, so Xia Yu simply put on his acting act and started performing, clutching his chest with a hurt expression.

Unfortunately, Tomoyo isn't Sakura. When she saw Natsume start acting, Tomoyo immediately cooperated.

"No! You've misunderstood me, Xia. My heart aches more than yours. Why are you treating me like this!"

Tomoyo pressed the back of her hand against her forehead, her face full of melancholy, her eyes delicate and fragile, a truly impressive performance.

"No! Please don't do this, dear Tomoyo-san..."

"It's too late, Xia, it's far too late..."

Sakura: "..."

Don't Tomoyo and Natsumi feel awkward? This is in the classroom.

The drama that made Sakura feel so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl on the floor quickly came to an end. To prevent Tomoyo and Natsume from getting carried away with their acting, she hurriedly shoved the two of them out of the classroom.

School's out, time to go home.

Since they were heading in roughly the same direction home, Xia Yu didn't leave alone, but instead left the school gate with Xiao Ying and the others.

Just before leaving the campus, Xia Yu caught a strange glimpse out of the corner of his eye: the shadows of some classmates had detached from their bodies and, as if consciously, merged into the nearby shadows.

This bizarre scene immediately reminded him of the Shadow Card from the Clow Cards. The Shadow Card can absorb the power of shadows, gradually making one's own shadow stronger.

Unlike in Jackie Chan Adventures, here the shadow card absorbs the shadow, but the person whose shadow was absorbed doesn't feel anything, and the shadow will even reappear on its own after a short time.

Therefore, Xia Yu did not stop the Shadow Card from absorbing the shadows. Besides, it was after school and there was a large flow of people. If he were to take action, he would have to do a group "forget everything" afterwards, which would be too troublesome.

He's not really stupid; how could he possibly use magic recklessly in front of everyone?

Secondly, his vague memory vaguely recalled that the school had to give a day off the next day because of the prank by the shadow puppet. Since there was a holiday, there was even less reason to stop the shadow puppet.

Although primary school courses are not difficult at all, why not take an extra day off?

Besides, he still needs to analyze the Wind Card that Sakura lent him tonight; he can deal with capturing the Shadow Card tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that.

These things can't be rushed.

The next day, at school.

At the entrance of Yuzhi Elementary School, a large number of energetic students had gathered, a stark contrast to the listless corporate slaves.

The students were greeting each other with boundless energy, their faces showing the anticipation for daily life that working people have completely lost.

It's a pure smile untouched by society; just looking at it makes you feel much better.

However, this relaxed and pleasant atmosphere did not last long. After the students entered the campus chatting and laughing, they were confronted with a scene that they could not understand.

On the school playground, a strange "hill" suddenly appeared, made up of desks, chairs, and a large amount of sports equipment.

The strange mountain attracted many students who gathered around it and couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

No one suspected it was a supernatural event; the students simply assumed it was a prank.

It has to be said that people in this world are incredibly carefree. In this obviously problematic situation, no one thought to call the police; instead, they just stood there watching.

Moreover, it wasn't just the students who were so naive; even the teachers were the same. Instead of calling the police, the teachers organized their students to tidy up the desks and chairs and restore everything to its original state as much as possible.

Besides the mountain of desks and chairs on the playground, even the classrooms were not spared; the desks and chairs that were originally neatly arranged were also piled up.

Moreover, this is not an isolated case; it is the same in every classroom, including Sakura's Class 2 of Grade 4.

Now that class couldn't be held, the students could only tidy up their desks and chairs.

The tidying up took a whole morning, and after it was finished, the school sent all the students home.

After all, the classroom is fine, and it's not too dangerous to clean it up. Besides, there are teachers watching over it at all times, so there's no fear of any problems arising.

But the mountain of desks and chairs on the playground is a big problem. Putting aside whether physical education classes can still be held, the towering desks, chairs and sports equipment could easily cause a collapse.

This kind of dangerous task shouldn't be done by students; it has to be handled by the teachers, who are adults. Besides, whether the students can even move it is another question.

Therefore, in order to restore the playground to its original state and to make it easier for the teachers to clean up, the school gave a day off and emptied the school.

Although they didn't know what had happened, the students naturally cheered and agreed to the extra day off that they had suddenly gained.

After all, no one, whether adult or child, dislikes holidays.

On my way home from school, along a cherry blossom-lined path.

"So, are you sure there's no problem?"

Xia Yu turned to look at Xiao Ying, his tone hesitant: "Won't your family object to you suddenly inviting a male classmate to your house?"

This morning, while tidying up the classroom, unlike the others who thought it was a prank, Tomoyo suspected that the Clow Cards were behind the school incident. So Sakura invited Tomoyo and Natsumi to go home together to discuss it with Kero.

If it really was the Clow Cards' doing, then she had to solve this problem and couldn't let the Clow Cards continue their pranks.

Therefore, at this very moment, the three of them are on their way to Sakura's house.

Before Sakura could answer Xia Yu's question, Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, "So Xia-kun worries about these things too. I thought Xia-kun wouldn't be shy at all."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu snorted lightly: "Hmph, don't use your mortal mindset to guess about me. The word 'shy' has never existed in the dictionary of a genius."

"Oh dear, Xia is indeed shy."

"No!"

Why is Chapter 17 set at night?

In the afternoon, at the Kinomoto family home.

Xia Yu eventually arrived at Xiaoying's house.

Because only Tomoeda Elementary School was closed due to an incident, no one else was home at Sakura's house except for a certain sealed beast.

Touya Kinomoto is a high school student and is currently in class, while Fujitaka Kinomoto, a university professor, is also currently in class.

Xia Yu was somewhat disappointed that he didn't get to see the original dark-skinned part-time worker emperor after arriving at Sakura's house.

But as long as Touya is still working, he will eventually meet this "working emperor" who is working every moment.

Since her father and brother weren't home, Sakura didn't need to make up an excuse to explain why Xia Yu and Tomoyo were here. Soon, Kero, who was alone at home, found out why they had come home so early.

After a moment's thought, it crossed its arms and affirmed, "It was the Clow Cards that caused this."

"I knew it!"

Tomoyo clasped her hands together, feeling very happy that she had guessed the answer correctly.

Sakura sighed softly and complained unhappily, "It's all because of this Clow Card. It made us so tired from sorting it out."

“But thanks to it, school is on holiday too,” Tomoyo added with a smile.

"This...this is definitely something to be happy about." Sakura scratched her head and chuckled.

"Hehehe, is it time for us, the guardians of this world, the magicians who watch over humanity from the hidden corners, to step out again?"

Seeing that Xiao Ke had made up her mind, Xia Yu covered his eyes with one hand and struck a pose in an exaggerated tone.

Although the gestures and words were still awkward, Sakura had to admit that habit is a terrible thing. She was gradually getting used to Xia Yu's style, and at least she no longer felt the pain of his toes digging into the ground as before.

Unlike Sakura, Tomoyo didn't think Xia Yu was being pretentious; she thought he was right.

"A magician who watches over humanity from a hidden corner? I didn't expect you to know so much, Xia."

"Of course, I know it perfectly, okay?"

Seeing Xia Yu's smug look, Xiao Ke didn't pay much attention. It only noticed that the other party seemed to be going to follow, so it flew to Xia Yu unhappily and said fiercely.
