The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Just as Yamazaki was about to continue his charade, the dormitory door was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a flashlight shone in.

"Aren't you all still awake? Lights out is past."

Terada Yoshiyuki, holding a flashlight, began his routine dormitory check.

“We’re going to sleep right away. We were just chatting because we were so excited about tomorrow’s activities,” Yamazaki replied.

"Alright then, but it's still best to get some rest early. Staying up too late is bad for your health."

After giving a few words of advice, Terada Yoshiyuki made sure everyone was there, then closed the door and left.

Once the footsteps had faded away, Yamazaki chuckled and said, "Sorry, Li, the teacher is already urging us. We'll answer your questions next time. We should go to sleep now."

"Oh, alright."

Seeing that Yamazaki had already said so, Li Xiaolang didn't press the matter further, and the dormitory fell silent.

However, as time slowly passed, Li Xiaolang not only did not feel sleepy, but his spirits became more and more active.

The soft breathing around him reminded him that everyone else was asleep, and it wasn't convenient for him to find someone to chat with to make him sleepy.

Why don't we go out and enjoy the sea breeze? We sensed something strange on the rocky coast during the day, so we can go check it out now.

Do it when you think of it.

Once the thought popped into Li Xiaolang's mind, he immediately got dressed, changed into sneakers, and quietly left the dormitory.

After feeling the cool evening breeze outside for a while, he indeed felt a strange sensation again. But before he could take a closer look, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye—a short-haired girl wearing a yellow dress.

Why is she out so late?

With just one glance, Li Xiaolang recognized that it was none other than Kinomoto Sakura, who had been vying with him for the Clow Cards.

Instead of ignoring the question, he quickly stepped forward, intending to ask the other person what they were doing out so late.

Meanwhile, Sakura was walking towards the female teacher's dormitory with her arms crossed, looking somewhat frightened.

Because of Naoko's scary bedtime stories, Sakura couldn't fall asleep no matter how much she tossed and turned.

After going outside and getting some fresh air, she became even more frightened.

So she thought she might as well sleep with the teacher; even if she was laughed at, it wouldn't matter, it was better than being afraid all the time.

But just as she was thinking this, she was suddenly tapped lightly on the shoulder.

"!"

"Whoa!!!"

Sakura, suddenly remembering a horror story, screamed and crouched down, then covered her face with her hands, too afraid to look behind her to see who had taken the picture.

Of course, what she didn't notice was that the figure behind her seemed to be startled by her scream.

The figure behind her froze for a second or two before slowing down and walking to Sakura's side: "What are you doing here?"

"what?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Sakura gently raised her head and looked to her side.

When Sakura saw that the person next to her was Li Xiaolang, who looked very curious, she breathed a deep sigh of relief and put her hand on her chest, saying reassuringly, "You scared me to death."

"You're the one who scared me."

Li Xiaolang replied with a hint of complaint. Seeing that Xiaoying still seemed shaken, he paused, scratched his face, and said, "Want to go sit on the beach?"

After saying that, he walked towards the beach without waiting for Sakura's reply.

Seeing this, Sakura didn't think too much about it and hurriedly followed.

A few minutes later, the two sat down on the beach together, listening to the sound of the waves, but neither of them spoke first.

Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a bit too calm, Sakura started a conversation: "You were at that rocky coast during the day, weren't you?"

On the side of the beach, there is a rocky coastline that can be seen, and below the coastline is a cave. She saw the little wolf's figure appear in front of the cave when she was swimming in the sea during the day.

Upon hearing Sakura's question, Syaoran didn't hide anything: "Because I sensed a strange aura from that cave."

Upon hearing this, Sakura immediately became alert: "Are they Clow Cards?"

She's started to have a stress response now; whenever she hears the words "abnormal aura," her first thought is that the Clow Cards are up to no good again.

However, the little wolf shook his head: "No."

Seeing that it wasn't a Clow Card, Sakura covered her face in horror: "Then it couldn't be... Yu..."

Having just heard a horror story, she subconsciously thought of ghosts again, but because of her fear, she couldn't bring herself to say the word.

Little Wolf added, "You mean ghosts, right?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Sakura, covering her ears, nodded repeatedly. Although she knew magic, her fear of ghosts had not dissipated. After all, she had been afraid for so many years, and it was not something that could be overcome in a short time.

"I still don't know what it is."

Li Xiaolang replied, then pointed to the rocky coast: "I also felt a strange sensation coming from the rocky coast just now."

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the cave, but just as he looked, a blue phantom suddenly flashed across the dark and silent cave entrance.

"I think I'm seeing something again."

The atmosphere gradually turned eerie, and Sakura, her heart filled with increasing fear, cried out through teary eyes, "Stop talking!!"

Sakura's scream made Syaoran bristle, and he instinctively covered his ears with both hands. A few seconds later, Sakura stopped screaming and couldn't help but plead.

"Shall we talk about something else? Okay?"

Seeing Sakura's frightened expression, Syaoran couldn't help but retort, "You were the one who asked me that."

However, he didn't continue speaking, and the atmosphere immediately returned to calm.

Feeling that someone was by her side and looking at the sea reflecting the starry sky, Sakura's fear dissipated considerably.

"Li, you're from Hong Kong, right?"

"Yes."

Did you come with your family?

"No."

Upon hearing this, Sakura turned her head to look at Li Xiaolang's profile: "Did you come alone?"

"Wenbo came with me."

"Wenbo?"

“He has taken care of me since I was a child.”

"Then he must be a good person."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang sat up slightly and looked at Xiaoying as well: "How do you know?"

Upon hearing this question, Sakura smiled and said, "Because you seemed quite happy when you mentioned him."

Looking at Sakura's smiling face, Syaoran felt a slight stirring in his heart, but he didn't dwell on this special feeling and instead quickly stood up.

"It's time to go to bed."

After saying that, the little wolf's ears turned slightly red, and then he ran away in a bit of a panic.

"Wait, Li..."

Sakura also hurriedly stood up and chased after Li Xiaolang, who had run away.

At the cave entrance, which neither of them noticed, a large patch of eerie blue phantom flickered once more.

……

The next day, it was dawn.

Although there's a test of courage at night, people still play as usual during the day.

Students who had changed into their swimsuits were running on the beach. Of course, not all students were playing on the beach; some were playing elsewhere.

In a grove of trees on a cliff, Xia Yu leaned against a large tree, enjoying a warm sunbath.

The sun shines brightly, casting dappled shadows on the trees. Sunlight filters through the leaves and falls onto the ground, while a gentle breeze makes the shadows appear hazy and indistinct.

Suddenly, footsteps came from the side. Xia Yu raised his eyelids and saw Zhi Shi with a high ponytail and skin so white it seemed to glow.

Seeing that Xia Yu had noticed her, Zhi Shi smiled slightly: "Xia-kun, why are you here alone?"

"Because I sometimes want to just bask in the sun without thinking about anything."

"Hehe~ I thought Xia-kun always wanted to be the center of attention." Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, then sat down on the grass and looked at the shimmering blue sea.

"The weather is so nice."

"Yes."

"Is Xia something on her mind?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu opened his eyes and turned to look at Zhi Shi with some curiosity: "Why do you say that?"

"Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always feel that Xia doesn't seem as happy as she appears."
