The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Sakura murmured to herself; she knew about Nadeshiko flowers.

In Japan, the Nadeshiko flower is often used to describe traditional, outstanding women, and such women are also called Yamato Nadeshiko. The Nadeshiko flower symbolizes perseverance, devotion, boldness, and wisdom.

"She really does look like her mother."

Sakura's expression turned to one of reminiscence, then she lightly tapped the tip of her wand on the playing card: "Give them both flowers, flowers."

Flower cards can be used to create many different kinds of flowers; whatever flower you want, you can create it using flower cards.

Perhaps the cards understood that Sakura didn't want to be discovered, so when the magic was cast, not only did no magic circle appear, but the cards only lit up slightly.

As the flower magic was used, two beautiful Nadeshiko flowers suddenly appeared in the sky above Sonomi and Fujitaka.

Two Nadeshiko flowers, shimmering with a faint pink light, drifted gently down from the sky and landed in front of Sonomi and Fujitaka.

With the appearance of the Nadeshiko flower, the previously quarrelsome atmosphere immediately eased, and Sonomi and Fujitaka couldn't help but reach out their hands at the same time to catch the falling flower.

Looking at the flower that had landed in her hand, Yuanmei's initial resentment was suddenly and miraculously soothed.

"Nadeshiko's flowers..."

Looking at the Nadeshiko flower, Sonoko couldn't help but bring the flower close to her cheek, her eyes revealing a look of nostalgia, and a sweet smile gently appeared on her lips.

Fujitaka also raised the Nadeshiko flower in his hand, but unlike Sonomi, when he looked at the Nadeshiko flower, the smile that had been on his lips gradually disappeared, and a subtle sadness flowed in his eyes.

“Every time we argue, Nadeshiko always appears with a smile, and even if I’m really angry, I’m still infected by her smile…”

Yuanmei couldn't help but speak again, but this time, her tone had lost its previous aggressiveness, and the tense atmosphere in the air gradually melted away.

"After Nadeshiko married her teacher, a smile even happier than before appeared on her face. She was so happy... yet she passed away so young..."

As she spoke, Sonoko, lost in her memories, suddenly covered her face and began to sob, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Fujitaka considerately pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and then lent his chest to Madoka, who was showing her vulnerable side.

"sorry."

"Why should I apologize!"

Yuanmei's voice was muffled, because she was covering her face tightly, and tears kept flowing from between her fingers, then dripping to the ground and splashing up a few specks of dust.

Fujitaka smiled gently. He was always very honest, so he explained without hesitation, "Because during the period when Nadeshiko was sixteen to twenty-seven years old, I took everything from her."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yuanmei suddenly sat up straight from his embrace and pinched his face in dissatisfaction.

"I hate it when you're like this. You're so honest and gentle, can't you be any more awful?!"

Although she always acted as if she disliked Fujitaka, she actually didn't hate him at all; on the contrary, she admired him.

But as a strong-willed woman, she would never reveal her true feelings; her verbal expression of dislike was her last act of stubbornness.

Even though Sonomi seemed to be angry again, Fujitaka sensed her relief, so no matter how much Sonomi tormented his face, he still smiled gently.

Chapter 72 As expected of the director, he's truly dedicated and responsible.

Behind the teaching building, in the grass.

"They really aren't arguing anymore."

Sakura peeked at their parents, who were playfully bickering, and breathed a sigh of relief. Now, Aunt Yuanmei and her father were acting more like old friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time, and the initial feeling of complaining was gone.

This put her at ease. Her biggest fear was that Aunt Yuanmei would really break with her father, which would also cause a rift in her relationship with Tomoyo.

Thinking of this, Sakura looked at Xia Yu and Tomoyo and smiled, "Thank you for coming up with this great idea. Without you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Tomoyo gently shook her head: "No, I was just suggesting it. Even without me, Sakura, you would definitely have come up with this good idea."

Xia Yu put his hands on his hips and said proudly, "Of course, after all, I'm a genius!"

Hearing these two completely opposite answers, Sakura smiled sheepishly: "In any case, I am very grateful to have you all by my side."

Now that their worries were over, Sakura and the others carefully retreated to avoid being discovered, and then left under the cover of the bushes.

Once they were completely away from that spot, Sakura finally breathed a sigh of relief. If her father had found out she knew magic, she wouldn't have known how to explain it.

Thankfully, everything went smoothly.

Before long, the three of them returned to the playground along the path beside it. The closing ceremony of the sports meet was about to begin. Although the rain of petals had caused some minor issues, it was not a big problem.

Thanks to the combined efforts of all the teachers, students, and parents, the petals on the entire campus were swept away completely. There may be a few remnants, but they don't matter.

Thus, the annual sports meet of Youzhi Elementary School came to a successful conclusion!

Nothing unusual happened after that, and after the sports meet, life returned to studying.

After all, this is what students should do. Even if the sports meet is a time to relax and have fun, students still have to return to their daily studies after it ends.

As students, studying is the top priority.

Time passed day by day, and Xia Yu lived his daily study life peacefully.

The exercise gave him a huge boost in sunshine value, which allowed him to calm down for a few days.

Then Friday arrived.

get out of class time.

Xia Yu lay bored on the table, waiting for school to end and for the holidays to begin. He was actually quite free during his holidays, which meant he could practice magic, plan the future development of his company, or travel to other countries.

Anyway, he can "Apparate," and can teleport directly to other countries in a flash, and then teleport back in a flash after finishing his trip.

After several years of practice, he had long since mastered this long-distance teleportation magic.

Just as Xia Yu was lost in thought about whether he should go to England to find the Magic Association from the original Cardcaptor Sakura manga, Tomoyo, who was sitting in front of him, suddenly turned around.

Seeing Xia Yu's absent-minded look, Zhi Shi gently tapped the table.

"Xia?"

"What's the matter?"

Xia Yu snapped out of his daze, raised his eyes, and without sitting up, asked while still lying down, "Do you want to borrow my homework to copy? Math or English?"

"……no."

Tomoyo was momentarily speechless. Did Xia Yu think she was a bad student? Although she had never been number one, her grades were still among the best, weren't they?

Even if someone really had to copy homework, it would be Sakura copying... no, Sakura would never copy someone else's homework.

Honestly, after being interrupted like that, she almost forgot why her name was Xia Yu.

Tomoyo patted her cheeks and asked with a smile again, "I was wondering if Natsumi is free this weekend? Would you like to come over to my house?"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu sat up abruptly. He had actually been invited to a girl's house! This was simply... simply too nice!

Come to think of it, this is the first time he's ever been invited to his home by a female classmate, even though she was a primary school classmate.

But Xia Yu suddenly remembered Zhi Shi's imposing mother and couldn't help but ask with some concern, "I'm a boy. Is it really okay for me to invite a boy to my house? Won't your mother object?"

If his daughter dared to invite a boy from her class to her house, he would definitely break that brat's legs.

Noticing Xia Yu's worry, Zhi Shi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mom definitely won't object. It's just inviting friends over, it's not a big deal. Besides, I also invited Sakura, because..."

As they were talking, Tomoyo suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "I've run into a little trouble. It's not a big problem, but it's causing some trouble. I suspect it's a Clow Card."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yu looked at Zhi Shi with some surprise, unsure whether to say that Zhi Shi was lucky or unlucky.

You could say it's unfortunate, but you happen to know someone who can handle Clow Card problems; you could say it's lucky, but you encounter Clow Card trouble.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu suddenly gave Zhi Shi a thumbs up: "As expected of the director, you are truly dedicated."

"?"

Zhi Shi was a little confused by what he said, but only Xia Yu understood what he meant.

In the original work, Tomoyo was given the title of director because she always held up a camera, always looked like she knew everything, and repeatedly helped Sakura advance the plot.

In the OVA, Tomoyo even directed the opening sequence, further solidifying her status as a director.

Therefore, it's clear that the director is helping Sakura advance the plot again. It's safe to say that the director is incredibly dedicated.

"Since this beautiful and lovely lady has sincerely invited me, I will make time for her even if I am very busy. I am willing to accept Ms. Daidouji's invitation."

Xia Yu suddenly made a gesture of respect by placing his hand on his chest. Seeing that Zhi Shi was stunned, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle after she came to her senses.

"Xia is always so funny. Here, this is my home address. Remember to keep it safe."

As she spoke, Tomoyo handed her a slip of paper with a simple map drawn on it. It was clearly hand-drawn and rather cute.

"What an honor."

Xia Yu took the note and put it away. He didn't really have anything important to do this weekend. Since Zhi Shi had invited him, and given the Clow Cards' mischief, he might as well go and check it out.

He just didn't know which Clow Card it was. The Clow Card he remembered most clearly that was related to Tomoyo was the Karasu Card, but he couldn't recall the specific details.

Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it anymore. I'll find out tomorrow anyway.

Xia Yu stopped thinking, lay back down on his desk, and prepared to wait for class to begin.

Thump~ thump~ thump~

Xia Yu: "..."

Okay, no need to wait any longer, class is starting.
