The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

"Thank you very much for yesterday. I hope you will accept this gift, Xia."

"Thank you so much for your help yesterday. Please accept this small gift as a token of my gratitude."

Different words, but the same meaning.

Xia Yu and Zhi Shi were both stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled. Without any shyness, they each gave out their gifts.

"May I open it and take a look now?"

Xia Yu's gift was a new handkerchief, unwrapped and decorated only with a ribbon bow, while Zhi Shi's gift was wrapped in a small cloth, so Xia Yu didn't know what was inside.

"of course."

Zhi Shi smiled gently, and Xia Yu did not hesitate to untie the cloth bag.

The gift inside the bag was a small cross, which Tomoyo had picked out at the jewelry store yesterday. Natsumi recognized it too, since they had already seen the jewelry they had bought at Sakura's house yesterday afternoon.

At the time, Tomoyo even tried on the cross accessory, which suited her elegant young lady demeanor quite well.

"I'm sorry, because I don't know what Xia Yu likes, so..." Seeing Xia Yu examining the cross ornament, Tomoyo's tone was a little low, but Xia Yu chuckled lightly.

"It's okay, I like any gift that Tomoyo gives me."

"Well……"

Upon hearing this, looking at Xia Yu's sunny smile, Zhi Shi's cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze shifted, and she muttered softly, "That answer... is too cunning."

"Huh? Tomoyo, what did you just say?"

"I mean……"

Tomoyo carefully put away the handkerchief in her hand and looked earnestly into Xia Yu's eyes: "I will cherish Xia Yu's gift."

"Forehead……"

This caught Xia Yu off guard. He said, oblivious to the romantic sentiment, "But handkerchiefs are meant to be used, right? Isn't it a bit strange to treasure them?"

"..."

"Xia is sometimes just as clumsy as Xiaoying."

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear that. Sakura's grades are nowhere near as good as mine."

Sakura standing to the side: "..."

🇧🇷

Thanks, I was offended.

When Xia Yu and Zhi Shi started talking about her, Xiao Ying felt she couldn't listen anymore; she was afraid she would burst into tears.

I'm so stupid, I'm really embarrassed.

But speaking of gifts...

Sakura took a deep breath and turned to look behind her.

Li Xiaolang, who was still reviewing his textbook, felt the gaze coming from him, couldn't help but raise his head, and said coldly, "What?"

Yesterday's events are in the past. From today onwards, Li Xiaolang will be a cold and ruthless contender for the Clow Cards.

He will never blush or feel shy again; he said it wouldn't matter who came!

Although Li Xiaolang's tone wasn't very friendly, Xiaoying didn't mind. She calmed her nerves and suddenly presented a small cloth bag to him with both hands.

"Here you go!"

"what is this?"

Li Xiaolang squinted as he glanced at the small cloth bag in Xiaoying's hand. Could it be a challenge letter from someone who disliked him?

But why put it in a cloth bag?

When Sakura realized that Li Xiaolang hadn't taken it and that his tone was still so cold, her previously calmed emotions tensed up again. She stammered, "It's...it's a gift!"

"Gift?"

"Yes!"

Sakura suddenly looked up and said earnestly, "Yesterday, Li saved me and almost got hurt because of it. This is a thank-you gift for you, please accept it!"

"I don't..."

Li Xiaolang, who originally intended to refuse the gift outright, opened his mouth to meet Xiaoying's pleading gaze, but the words he wanted to say suddenly changed.

"I didn't do it to save you, I just..."

He scratched his cheek and said arrogantly, "It's just for the Clow Cards, that's right, that's it. If it weren't for defeating the Sword Cards, I wouldn't have saved you!"

These were clearly just arrogant words spoken insincerely, something most people could tell off. However, the naive Sakura believed them. Her expression darkened, and she looked somewhat deflated: "So that's how it is..."

Noticing Sakura's disappointment, Li Xiaolang's arrogant expression froze, and he panicked. He wanted to explain, but his inexplicable pride prevented him from knowing how to start.

But in the next second, Sakura recovered, shook her head vigorously, and smiled again.

"No matter what, it's a fact that Li saved me, so please accept this gift, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Hearing Sakura's sincere words, Li Xiaolang had no excuse this time. He could only suppress his emotions and take the small cloth bag from Sakura's hand.

"Then...then I'll listen to you this time."

"Thank you, Li!"

You idiot, you're the one who gave me the gift, I'm the one who should be thanking you.

Li Xiaolang examined the gift in his hand and couldn't help but think to himself, "For some reason, I feel my face is a little hot. It must be because of the weather. Summer is here, and it's going to get hot."

Also, he has to give Sakura a return gift.

Sakura said it was a gift to thank him for saving her, but yesterday afternoon, wasn't he also saved by her?

Li Xiaolang was no ungrateful person. Recalling how Sakura had stood in front of him yesterday, even though she was trembling with fear, she still stood in front of him...

I can't think about it anymore; my face feels hotter and hotter.

Li Xiaolang stopped thinking and covered his slightly flushed face. Could he have heatstroke?

"Huh? Why are you laughing?"

Suddenly, Li Xiaolang felt a gaze on him. He turned his head and saw Xia Yu staring at him and Xiaoying with a rather strange smile.

Xia Yu did not answer Li Xiaolang's question directly, but only sighed.

"Young boys and girls, so innocent and naive, how wonderful."

"What do you mean by 'really good'? What are you implying?"

Li Xiaolang had a feeling that Xia Yu seemed to be expecting something, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he kept asking.

Xia Yu didn't explain, and simply looked away. This ignoring attitude infuriated Li Xiaolang, who also angrily looked away.

This guy is such a nuisance.

After the sword-shaped token incident, daily life returned to normal.

However, there's nothing wrong with tranquility; after all, every ordinary day may be the source of a series of miracles.

As the days went by, the weather gradually got warmer.

Soon, the sports meet arrived.

Oh, thank you so much for the generous donation, Miss 1.8 meters tall! I'm truly humbled and extremely grateful.

Chapter 64 Sports Meeting

"Students, the sports meet will be held next Monday. Please remember to inform your parents."

On the podium, homeroom teacher Yoshiyuki Terada was informing the students about the school's activities; the annual sports meet was about to be held again.

The sports meet is a lively event, and parents usually come to accompany their children, so teachers of each grade inform their students in advance.

Following Terada Yoshiyuki's announcement, the students below couldn't help but start chattering amongst themselves.

After all, compared to boring classes, sports meets are more popular because they are fun and exciting. As long as there are no classes, students are happy to participate in any kind of activity.

"The sports meet?"

Xia Yu, who was lying in the back row, muttered the word to himself. Although many years had passed, he still remembered the sports meet he had held when he was in school.

At that time, he didn't participate in any events. He couldn't outrun anyone or jump very far, so he could only be a spectator.

By high school and college, they are even less likely to participate in sports meets. These sports meets are the perfect opportunity for them to play on their phones while others participate in the events.

Some students who like to eat will buy a bunch of snacks and then eat them while sunbathing.

In short, the sports meet had nothing to do with him; he was just a small spectator.

Now that he has a second chance, even though it's only a primary school sports meet, it's still a sports meet, and it's time for him to shine.

Besides him, the other classmates were also very excited, with Sakura being the most excited.

Sakura's sparkling eyes were enough to show just how much she loved the sports meet.

"Alright, that concludes the events for the sports meet. Which students would like to sign up?"

After writing the events of the sports meet on the blackboard and introducing each event, Yoshiyuki Terada gently asked the students, resting his hands on the podium.
