The sunny boy from Cardcaptor Sakura

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?!

A world has emerged where Sakura and Kero are both injured.

Tomoyo, who had been observing from the sidelines, chuckled softly: "Heh~ As expected, you still have to do your own homework."

Sakura, who had erased Kero's answers, spent almost an hour before finally filling in the correct answers.

Looking at the math problems in her hand, Sakura silently swallowed her grievances and helplessness. She should have just done them herself and never been lazy again.

"Alright, Sakura, next up is the reading notes. It's not time to rest yet." Tomoyo said the rather cruel truth in her sweet voice.

Sakura: orz

"I...I know."

To finish her assignment, Sakura stood up in one go and went with Tomoyo to the book section, ready to find the book they had already decided on.

Among the books assigned by the teacher, the thinnest one is "The Tale of the Little Pig," which can be read in less than an hour, and this is the choice of the vast majority of students.

"By the way, Tomoyo, is your reading notes also about the Little Pig Story?"

While searching for the Tale of the Little Pig, Sakura curiously asked Tomoyo if she couldn't find it, as she planned to refer to the book Tomoyo was reading.

"No, I'm reading a book that Xia recommended to me."

Her reading notes were about "The Moon and Sixpence," which Xia Yu recommended during the summer festival. Although it was quite long, she still finished reading it.

"What book is it? Is it good?"

"Hmm...it might be a bit too advanced for Sakura, and there's a lot of content. Sakura should just read 'Little Pig Story' instead." Tomoyo smiled slightly, without revealing the book's title.

That book is not something they should be reading at their age, and I don't know why Xia would read this type of book.

……

"Ouch!"

"Who's talking about me?"

In a secluded spot where he was reading, Xia Yu rubbed the tip of his nose with his index finger knuckle; the sneeze had come out of nowhere.

Looking up at the sun outside the window, I realized that almost two and a half hours had passed since I first arrived at the library.

"I've been watching for so long without even realizing it."

Xia Yu stretched and put down the book he was reading, "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening." After finishing the Diablo artbook, he found several other game artbooks in the vicinity and started reading them.

Although the graphics of modern games are rudimentary, they are still more sincere than the games of later generations that only focus on graphics and not gameplay.

"No, I need to move around a bit."

Xia Yu picked up the book he had brought over again, intending to put it back in its original position and then move around a bit. Although standing is not as good as sitting, sitting for too long can also cause back pain.

Just like those miserable novelists who sit in front of the computer for hours on end and still can't squeeze out many words, they'll eventually die of exhaustion in front of the computer.

"Fortunately, I never intended to plagiarize. Writing novels is a dead end with no future."

After returning the books he had brought, Xia Yu wandered around the library. The library was quite large, so he wasn't worried about disturbing others.

After walking for a short while, he suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

"Huh? Li Xiaolang?"

On the windowsill not far away, Li Xiaolang was silently looking at the book in his hands. There was also a thick and large Japanese-Chinese dictionary on the windowsill.

"Tsk, this kid is pretty serious."

Japanese-Chinese dictionaries are clearly for looking up characters you don't know. Although there are many kanji in Japanese, the meanings of kanji in Japanese have changed over time and are no longer the same as those in Chinese.

It's not surprising that Li Xiaolang knows how to use a dictionary, but the fact that his first thought when encountering an unfamiliar word is to look it up in the dictionary also proves that Li Xiaolang is very serious about everything he does.

"Hey, Little Wolf, reading a book?"

After thinking about it, Xia Yu went over and greeted them. After all, he had already seen them, so he couldn't just pretend he hadn't.

Hearing the greeting, Li Xiaolang turned his gaze from the book and looked at Xia Yu who was walking towards him.

Xia Yu then noticed the book in Li Xiaolang's hand. Because it was open, he only caught a glimpse of the character "豚" (tun), which means pig in Japanese, so...

"Are you looking into postpartum care for sows?"

Xia Yu looked at Li Xiaolang with some surprise and exclaimed, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of hobby. You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"certainly not!!"

Li Xiaolang blushed, slammed the book shut, and showed the cover.

"This is 'The Little Pig Story,' the book specified in the reading notes!"

Writing novels is so much fun! Everyone should go write novels and easily earn millions a year.

Chapter 102 Relying on Friends When Going Out

"The Tale of the Little Pig..."

Xia Yu looked at the words on the book cover and couldn't help but shake his head, saying with some regret, "Why read 'Little Pig Story'? People our age should be reading about postpartum care for sows; those are the good books we should be reading."

Li Xiaolang: “…”

You're spouting nonsense again, aren't you?

"So you've already seen it?"

Li Xiaolang narrowed his eyes, looking Xia Yu up and down with some suspicion, but Xia Yu just shook his head and said matter-of-factly.

"Of course not, otherwise why would I let you see it? I'd wait for you to finish reading it and share your thoughts before deciding whether to read it or not."

Li Xiaolang: (_)

Does he look stupid?

Don't make that face.

Seeing Li Xiaolang's speechless expression, Xia Yu chuckled and said, "If you really want to go see it, I can buy you a bag of melon seeds as a thank you gift."

"..."

"Who wants your sunflower seeds!" Li Xiaolang snorted coldly, ignoring Xia Yu's harassment. He hadn't finished writing his reading notes yet.

If this drags on any longer, things will get really bad after school starts.

"Hey... don't be like that, we're from the same hometown. As the saying goes, when fellow villagers meet, behind their backs... cough, their eyes well up with tears. And as another saying goes, at home you rely on your parents, but when you're away from home you rely on your friends..."

"Where's my book?!"

Just as Xia Yu continued to sexually harass Li Xiaolang, Li Xiaolang suddenly exclaimed in surprise that the Little Pig Story he had just placed on the windowsill was gone.

"What book? You finally want to read about postpartum care for sows?"

Xia Yu leaned closer with a cheeky grin. Upon hearing this, Li Xiaolang's forehead veins bulged, and he grabbed Xia Yu's collar, forcing his head closer.

"Did you secretly hide my book? Hand it over now."

"Hey... don't get so close, I'm not as indiscriminate as you are."

Faced with Li Xiaolang's head getting closer and closer, Xia Yu finally panicked. He hurriedly reached out to block him, which stopped Li Xiaolang's head from getting any closer.

"Humph!"

Seeing Xia Yu's state, Li Xiaolang snorted coldly and let go of his hand. He had just lost his mind, and since Xia Yu hadn't come any closer, the disappearance of the book certainly had little to do with him.

Secondly, he didn't see Xia Yu use any magic just now. This person wouldn't be so bored as to use magic just to play a prank on him... right?

Li Xiaolang suddenly hesitated again.

"The book you were just reading has disappeared?"

After smoothing out the wrinkles on his clothes, Xia Yu abandoned his plan to continue teasing Li Xiaolang. He walked over and asked Li Xiaolang, who was frowning in thought.

"Hmm, something's strange."

Li Xiaolang nodded, then suddenly looked at Xia Yu: "You'll come with me to look."

"Huh? Why?"

"Hmph, didn't you just say, 'When fellow villagers meet, their eyes well up with tears; at home, they rely on their parents; when they're away from home, they rely on their friends'? Now's the time to rely on my friends—help me find the book!"

"...Fine, fine, Li Xiaolang, you actually used my words against me."

Xia Yu was a little disappointed. It seemed that Li Xiaolang wasn't stupid after all; he wouldn't be able to buy the sunflower seeds.

"Alright, then I'll look for it with you."

Seeing Xia Yu back down, Li Xiaolang's lips curled up, and his mood improved considerably.

He won this round!

Although it's still unclear why the book disappeared without a trace, once it's found, the reason should be clear.

Without further ado, Li Xiaolang and Xia Yu split up and each started searching along the bookshelves.

After Li Xiaolang disappeared from sight, Xia Yu looked at the rows and rows of densely packed bookshelves in front of him and felt a headache coming on. How long would it take to find them?

That straightforward kid, Li Xiaolang, really intended to search them one by one.

So, this is where convenient and all-powerful magic comes in!
