For some reason, Xia Yu suddenly began to understand Xia Ya a little.

……

Time passes slowly.

Soon, it was time to leave school.

Before school ended, the homeroom teacher brought good news: their class would be going to the aquarium tomorrow, as it was an off-campus day and it was their class's turn to visit the aquarium.

Hearing this news, Xia Yu was still somewhat shocked, even though he already knew about it from Zhi Shi.

He'd never been to an aquarium before he time-traveled, but now he gets to experience it, and more importantly, he's with his classmates!

This school life is so colorful! Is this the world of children's animation?

Give me more, he likes it.

Although it wasn't the first time other students had participated in off-campus learning days, being able to run away from class time to play, or even go to the aquarium, was always a pleasant experience.

With this cheerful feeling, a new day begins.

The next day.

Inside the classroom, the students were all very excited because they knew that today was an off-campus learning day and that they were going to the aquarium.

Besides, after today comes another weekend holiday, which is equivalent to a three-day break. It's impossible not to be excited.

"Xia, we're going to the aquarium today! We'll see penguins!"

While waiting for the school bus, Sakura sidled up to Xia Yu and said excitedly. Seeing Sakura like this, Xia Yu smiled.

"Sakura, do you really like penguins?"

"Of course! Penguins are so chubby and cute, who wouldn't love a penguin?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu grinned mischievously: "Since you like penguins so much, Xiaoying, you can search on your computer what a penguin with its mouth open looks like."

A penguin with its mouth open?

Sakura frowned in confusion: "Are penguins with their mouths open really that interesting?"

As she spoke, Sakura imagined the chubby penguin's blank expression with its mouth open and couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Xiaoying was completely clueless, Xia Yu laughed even more mischievously: "Hehe, see for yourself if it's interesting... Ouch, who knocked on my phone?"

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, he was suddenly tapped on the head. When he turned around, he saw that Zhi Shi had just withdrawn her hand chop.

After interrupting Xia Yu, Tomoyo smiled and said to Sakura, "Sakura, you must not believe what Xia Yu just said. I'll tell you a secret: don't be fooled by how cute penguins look. When they open their mouths, they look terrifying. They'll give you nightmares."

"Eh? Really?"

Tomoyo's words brought Sakura back to her senses, but Sakura was still a little curious. Penguins are so cute, even if opening their mouths is scary, how scary could it be?

Seeing that Sakura didn't seem to have given up on the idea, Tomoyo reiterated, "Of course it's true, so please, please don't look at it. If you search for it out of curiosity, you'll definitely have nightmares tonight."

Hearing Tomoyo's serious tone, Sakura shrank back, then couldn't help but puff out her cheeks and glared angrily at Natsume.

"Xia, you're so mean, you actually tried to scare me."

"I'm not kidding you."

Xia Yu raised his hands innocently, looking aggrieved: "I just told you that it's funny when a penguin opens its mouth..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xia Yu suddenly felt a sharp gaze from the side. If he remembered correctly, the person next to him should be Tomoyo…

Dangerous!

Xia Yu immediately changed the subject, saying from the bottom of his heart, "Okay, okay, Xiaoying, I admit I just wanted to scare you. I'm very sorry."

Sakura gave a light snort and said, "Since you've apologized so sincerely, I'll forgive you. But don't do it again."

"Yes, yes, thank you for your magnanimity, Sakura-sama."

Time passed quickly amidst the noise and bustle. During this time, the students boarded the school bus together and set off for the aquarium.

There were no unexpected events on the way. After all, this wasn't the world of some elementary school student who's a death god, so naturally, there wouldn't be any cases like this or that.

Before long, we arrived at the aquarium for our off-campus learning trip.

The homeroom teacher got off the bus first to organize the students, preparing to visit the aquarium as planned.

"Students, don't wander too far. If you have any problems, please contact the aquarium staff and teachers immediately. Don't act on your own, understand?"

"understood!"

After repeated instructions from the homeroom teacher, the students answered in unison. Upon seeing this, the homeroom teacher said a few more words before letting the students disperse.

Upon hearing the dismissal notice, Sakura, who was filled with anticipation, immediately ran out, her speed even creating a small gust of wind that made the hair of the female tourists around her flutter.

"Sakura really likes aquariums."

Looking at Sakura, who was as swift as the wind, Tomoyo couldn't help but smile. At the same time, she raised her camera and pointed the lens at Sakura, whose back was now the only visible part of her body.

As a director and cinematographer, the camera is a prop she cherishes. If it weren't for the fact that it would affect the class, she would have liked to film Sakura's daily classes.

"Hey Tomoyo, aren't you afraid you won't be able to see the road properly? You're focusing all your attention on the camera, what if you bump into other tourists?" Xia Yu, who was a step behind, glanced at Tomoyo, whose attention was entirely on Sakura, and couldn't help but remind her.

But Tomoyo just smiled sweetly at him: "Isn't Natsu-kun here to protect me? I'll have to trouble Natsu-kun to be my guide. In return, I can be Natsu-kun's tour guide."

"uh-huh?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu smiled gently, bowed slightly, and extended his hand to Tomoyo: "As you wish. Since Miss Tomoyo trusts me, how could I refuse? Please, Miss."

"Hehe~ Xia always makes such a funny face. Let's go."

When Xia Yu extended his hand, Zhi Shi did not refuse, but instead reached out and shook it. Then she used her other hand to hold the camera in front of her.

Led by Xia Yu, the two of them followed Xiaoying's back and entered the aquarium.

Chapter 24 The Man Who Tore Up the Water Sign

The interior of the aquarium.

Looking around, the interior of the aquarium is made up of individual aquariums, each containing different kinds of fish. Under the lights, the fish look beautiful and adorable.

Sakura, who had already entered the aquarium, suddenly plopped down on the glass of the aquarium, staring intently at the school of fish swimming around inside.

"The fish here are so cute."

"This one is so cute too."

"cute!"

Watching the fish swimming around in front of her, Sakura's gaze followed them back and forth, and the happy smile on her face never disappeared.

"Sakura is especially happy."

Not far away, Rika, Naoko, and the others were gathered together. Seeing Sakura's happy appearance, they also showed smiles of empathy.

"Yes, because Sakura loves sports meets and field trips the most."

"After all, Sakura is very athletic."

Just as Sakura was looking at the fish, and Rika and the others were looking at Sakura, Chiharu's voice suddenly came from afar.

"Hey everyone! The penguin show is about to start!"

These words were like a switch being flipped; Sakura's eyes immediately lit up, and she ran towards the direction Chiharu was pointing with her arms outstretched.

They were so fast that they disappeared in a flash.

By the time the other girls realized what was happening, Sakura had already run to Chiharu's side, waving and shouting to the others.

"Hurry up, everyone! The penguin show is about to start."

Seeing Sakura's excited smile, Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sakura really likes penguins, huh? Let's go, Natsu."

"As you command, young lady."

Seeing that Sakura was only a silhouette left, Xia Yu helplessly shrugged and once again took on the responsibility of leading the way.

After all, given how Tomoyo always had the camera in her hand and in her eyes, there was no way she would pay attention to where she was going.

Sigh, how can there be such a responsible and good man like him? I really don't know which young girl will get lucky in the future.

While indulging in his rather narcissistic thoughts, Xia Yu led the oblivious Tomoyo in the direction Sakura was heading.

Before long, the group that had lagged behind also arrived at the penguin enclosure.

At this moment, Sakura had already squeezed to the front of the crowd. Although there were many people watching, the penguin performance area was very large, so she could squeeze her way to the front.

Besides, they are all primary school students, and the adults watching would kindly make way for them if they saw them.

However, the penguin exhibit is more like a giant aquarium than an exhibit.

The penguin enclosure is mainly composed of ice blocks and pools. The ice blocks serve as the land, providing a place for the penguins and keepers to stand, while the pools act as a stage for the keepers and penguins to perform.

Visitors can see inside the pool through a huge tempered glass wall, where keepers and penguins perform.

By the time Xia Yu and the others had gathered at the very back, the penguin show had already begun.

The performer was a female trainer wearing a black and pink tight-fitting wetsuit. At this moment, the trainer was standing in the pool, holding a ring in one hand and directing the penguins to crawl through the ring with the other.

Every time a penguin leaps across the circle, it is met with applause.

After the circular performance ended, the zookeeper dived into the water and swam with the penguins, also feeding them small fish.
