"interesting……"

Sakura smiled awkwardly and didn't answer. She raised the light board in her hand and held it close to her heart: "Thank you. Thanks to you, I just felt very happy."

Seeing Sakura's happy expression, Tomoyo stroked her face with one hand and smiled as well.

"By the way? Tomoyo, what were you and Natsu doing just now? And why were you in this area?"

After putting the light board in her pocket, Sakura asked bluntly. Upon hearing this question, Tomoyo's smile faltered, and she waved her hands in a flustered manner.

"N-nothing. By the way, we should go. Xue Tu and the others must be getting impatient."

"what?"

……

The summer festival has come to a perfect end.

Although there were some regrets, it is still a memory worth cherishing.

Time flies, like a poem or a painting.

Before we knew it, only one day of the holiday remained.

Xia Yu slumped on the sofa, his eyes glazed over.

"Honestly, it feels like I haven't done anything and the holiday is already over. How can time go by so fast?"

It felt like the holiday was going to last a long time when I first started it, but before I knew it, there was only one day left.

There was something wrong with him, as if someone had stolen his time.

"Tsk, it's a pity I don't have the time card, otherwise I would definitely turn back time to the beginning of the holiday."

That's what he said, but it's really just talk. Putting aside how much magic is needed to rewind time, he wouldn't do it if only he retained the memories.

Because time is fleeting and never returns, every ordinary day becomes all the more precious.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to call Zhi Shi.

It's all Tomoyo's fault; he's become a bit greedy.

That's how people are. If they were alone from the beginning, they definitely wouldn't act this way even if they were still alone now, because they'd already gotten used to being alone.

But suddenly, someone entered my life, disrupting my usual routine. We chatted and did things together, even if they were just ordinary things, but it was still different from being alone.

Once the differences emerge, it becomes difficult to return to the daily routine of living alone.

"Damn it, Tomoyo must take responsibility."

As Xia Yu uttered his wild and inappropriate words, he struggled to sit on the sofa. The phone was on the coffee table next to the sofa, and he could get it just by standing up and taking a few steps.

But he didn't want to move.

He struggled on the sofa for a good minute before finally managing to reach the other end, only to realize when he raised his hand that he couldn't reach the phone on the coffee table.

"..."

Damn it, he forgot he's a child now, his arms aren't long enough.

"The phone rang."

After remaining silent for a few seconds in shock at his own foolishness, Xia Yu raised his hand and used a summoning spell to bring the phone to his hand.

So what was the point of his struggle just now?

Fortunately no one saw it.

Just as Xia Yu was about to make a call, his phone suddenly rang; someone was calling.

"uh-huh?"

I haven't even attacked yet, and Tomoyo has already attacked first. What a coincidence.

Telephones of this era couldn't display the caller's name, but they could display the phone number. The number displayed on the phone was the Daidoji family's number.

The person who would call him couldn't be Tomoyo's parents, so it could only be Tomoyo herself.

"Hello? Moshi moshi? Hello?"

"What? Go to the library to do homework? But I finished my summer homework a long time ago. Speaking of which, Tomoyo, you really did put off your math homework until the last day."

"I can go to the library to read books, since I have nothing to do at home anyway."

"See you later~"

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu slumped back onto the sofa, reflecting on the conversation they had just had.

Tomoyo had just invited him to the library to do homework together. Since Sakura hadn't started writing her reading notes yet, they planned to cram at the last minute, find a book with less content at the library, read it quickly, and then rush to finish their final reading notes.

However, to be fair, the students here are really honest; they actually read the books diligently and only wrote reading notes after they finished reading.

Back then, who actually read the book when writing reading notes? They just made things up, talked nonsense, and said rubbish. Anyway, the teacher wasn't really reading every word; the teacher just wanted to know if you had completed your assignment.

Regardless of the quality, as long as the task is completed, it's considered a success.

Also, Tomoyo really spoils Sakura. In order to prevent Sakura from having to do her homework alone on the last day, she deliberately delayed her math homework until the day before the holiday was about to end.

Hmm... although Sakura's approach is what most students do.

Who does summer homework during the holidays? Don't they all put it off until the last day? Can a proper student finish their summer homework during the holidays?

乐~

Half an hour later, at the penguin park.

Xia Yu hummed a song as he leisurely walked to the wooden bridge near the penguin park, the place where he had arranged to meet Zhi Shi and the others.

There was no one else on the bridge at this time, so it seemed that he was the first one to arrive again.

As expected of him.

Looking at the gurgling stream flowing endlessly under the bridge, Xia Yu sighed softly.

Starting tomorrow, school will begin again. I look forward to holidays when I'm in school, and I look forward to going back to school after a long holiday. But when the time comes to go back to school, I feel a little resistant.

Humans really are a collection of contradictions.

However, as the saying goes, the standard for testing first-rate intelligence is the ability to maintain action even when two completely opposite ideas are in one's mind at the same time.

It is said that this quote was made by F. Scott Fitzgerald, the American author of "The Great Gatsby," but whether it is true or not, he does not know.

"Xia, have you been waiting long?"

Just as Xia Yu was pondering whether he should come here to fish next time, he suddenly heard a greeting in his ear.

Turning my head, I saw Tomoyo waving and walking over.

Today, Tomoyo was wearing a pinkish-orange dress, a red headband, and her long, slightly wavy black hair cascading down her back. She also had a large red canvas bag slung over her shoulder, looking youthful, beautiful, and adorable.

"No, I haven't been here long either."

Xia Yu waved his hand in response, and said with some helplessness, "Xiaoying should be the one who is most anxious, but she is the last one to arrive. Is she really not in a hurry at all?"

"Hehe~ Xia, don't say that. Xiaoying also tried her best."

"No, I just wanted to say that Sakura is more like a real student than us."

Chapter 100 It's Okay to Be a Bad Student Occasionally

At the end of August, the sky was clear and blue.

Although it is late summer and early autumn, the weather is still hot, and most pedestrians on the street are wearing short sleeves.

Sakura, wearing a sleeveless, tight-fitting jacket and carrying a small backpack, jogged along the road. If Kero hadn't been clamoring to come along, she would have already set off.

That's right, it's all Xiao Ke's fault, not her procrastination.

"Tomoyo, Natsume-kun~"

Before long, Sakura spotted Xia Yu and Tomoyo chatting on the wooden bridge. She quickly sped up, waving and calling out to them.

As she got closer, Sakura took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, calming her heart, which had been beating slightly faster from running.

"Good afternoon~"

Good afternoon, Sakura.

"Okay, let's hurry to the library."

Upon realizing she was the last to arrive, Sakura seemed to finally sense a hint of nervousness. She didn't dare to exchange many pleasantries and hurriedly urged the others to set off quickly.

Seeing Sakura's eager appearance, Xia Yu and Zhi Shi suppressed their laughter and hurriedly followed Sakura's steps.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the library.

The library in Tomoeda Town is quite large, with a complete collection of books and private study rooms.

Looking around, the study room was mostly filled with students, with only a few actually reading. The vast majority of students were writing furiously to finish their homework.

Even the most oblivious person could sense the tense and anxious atmosphere in the study room.

After wandering around for a while, Sakura and her friends finally found an empty private room in a corner. Just as they walked over, they unexpectedly saw a classmate who was also in the library doing homework.

"Hey, Wang Xiaoming, you also put off until the last day to start doing your homework?"

Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang, who seemed to have also taken a liking to the private room and walked over, and asked with a smile.
