Chapter 130 An idea

The sun slants and the bells echo.

The afternoon classes ended quickly and it was time to go home.

Xia Yu casually picked up the books on the table and prepared to go home to read comics.

He hasn't finished reading the comics he bought last time, so he hasn't gone to the back mountain to practice magic in recent days. He basically spends most of his time immersed in comics after returning home.

"Xia, wait a moment."

Suddenly, a shout was heard. Xia Yu stopped and looked back. Tomoyo was walking towards him with Sakura. It was Tomoyo who had just called him.

Before Xia Yu could ask, Zhi Shi said, "Xia, since you've been to Xiaoying's and my home, can we go to yours as well?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu's expression became strange. Why did he feel that Tomoyo and Sakura were acting weird today? It was okay that Sakura seemed to be hiding something from him, but Tomoyo not only asked him about his birthday date in the afternoon, but also wanted to go to his house?
Do you want to celebrate his birthday?

Seeing Xia Yu's puzzled and inquiring expression, Zhi Shi calmly coughed and said, "Xia classmate, as a friend, since you know where Xiaoying and I live, then it's no problem for us to know where you live, right?"

During the summer vacation, she was the one who usually invited Xia Yu to her house to play, so she actually still didn't know where Xia Yu lived until now.

There is no need to say much about Sakura. She is not the kind of person who visits others often. If it weren't for the shield incident last semester, she probably wouldn't know where Tomoyo's home is until now.

After listening to Zhishi's reasons, Xia Yu wanted to complain, "You seem to have used the excuse of being a friend a lot today, but..."

"Okay, we are friends after all."

Xia Yu shrugged and did not refuse. As a sunny boy with a wide range of friends, since his friends had needs, it was necessary to help them.

Although he didn't think this was necessary help.

Hearing Xia Yu agree, Tomoyo winked at Sakura and hurriedly followed.

Although Sakura didn't quite understand why Tomoyo suddenly wanted to go to Xia's house again, she was smart enough not to ask. She was not Xiao Ke, so she was still very smart.

Even in math, where she's the worst subject, she's still smarter than Xiaoke.

The three of them walked around, chatting as they walked, and soon they arrived home, Xia Yu's home.

Although it is a home, it is actually a mansion. Although it is far smaller than the super large manor of the rich woman Tomoyo, it is much larger than Li Xiaolang's home.

After all, it was a foreign country, and Xia Yu couldn't suddenly move out of the entire manor. The big mansion was already his limit.

Even though he could exchange sunshine points for a manor, it was obviously not worth it. Generally, he would only choose to use sunshine points to solve problems when he encountered problems that could not be solved with existing means.

Anyone who has played the game knows one thing: cheating can be fun for a while, but it only lasts for a while.

After you finish playing a game, you may be able to immediately switch to another game to continue playing, but this is obviously not so convenient for the game Earth OL.

Either restart or play through to the end.

"Wow, this is Xia's home."

Xiaoying raised her head and looked at Xia Yu's house. The exterior style was completely different from that of Li's house.

"Please come in."

Xia Yu pushed open the door and invited Tomoyo and Sakura to come in.

At this time, the housekeeper who was in charge of all kinds of affairs in the mansion saw Xia Yu coming back, and quickly stepped forward and said, "Welcome back, Master, are these two your friends?"

"Yes, please have someone bring three cups of tea and some snacks to my room."

"Yes, Master."

After the housekeeper turned around and left, Zhishi asked, "Xia, who was that old man just now?"

"The butler who is in charge of the affairs of the mansion. You can think of him as my guardian. After all, I am an orphan living alone."

Because he is still a child, he must have a guardian, otherwise it will be inconvenient for him to do anything.

The butler and the servants were all brought with them when the identities were exchanged from the system, so there was no need to worry about any problems. In the butler's memory, he might even have grown up under the other party's care.

In short, it is the relationship between players and NPCs.

"So you are Xia's guardian?" Zhishi's eyes flashed, and I wonder what he was thinking of.

"By the way, Sakura, come and look at this."

Not knowing what he was thinking of, Xia Yu chuckled and suddenly waved at Xiaoying.

When we first went to Tomoyo's house, he said that he also had a private theater dedicated to playing Sakura. Although he said this just to tease Sakura at the time, he did not lie about his private theater. He did have one in his room.

Sakura doesn't know it anyway, and when he plays Sakura's video on it, she can once again see Sakura blushing with embarrassment and shyness.

"what are you looking?"

Xiaoying was completely unaware of Xia Yu's sinister intentions. Instead, she followed Xia Yu with great interest.

She didn't need to make dinner today, so she had plenty of time after school.

"Sorry, Xia, I need to go to the bathroom. I'll come to find you and Sakura later." At this moment, Tomoyo suddenly stopped following.

Before Xia Yu could say anything, Zhi Shi said again: "Don't worry, I can ask the maid sister to lead the way for me."

Hearing what Zhishi said, Xia Yu nodded: "Okay, Xiaoying and I will go upstairs first. The servants here know where my room is."

After saying that, Xia Yu led Xiaoying towards his room. Seeing this, Chiyo also walked towards the nearest maid.

"Hello, could you please take me to see the butler?"

"Ok?"

The maid who was originally planning to take Tomoyo to the bathroom was stunned when she heard this. She just said that she wanted to go to the bathroom, so why did she have to go find the housekeeper again?
However, as a qualified servant, the maid is well aware of the principle of doing more and talking less. Since the young master is willing to bring the friend into the house, then she just needs to follow his wishes.

It's a pity that their young master was laughing all the time, otherwise, based on the fact that he was bringing two female friends home, she would have wanted to say - I haven't seen the young master laugh for a long time.

The maid girl was fantasizing about a lot of things in her heart while she kept walking.

In a short while, they met the housekeeper who was about to go back to work.

"Huh? What are you..."

The housekeeper looked at the maid who was leading Zhi Shi over, and was slightly puzzled. The maid also explained: "This child wants to see you for something."

After saying that, the maid nodded to Chise and left.

Tomoyo bowed slightly to the maid as she left, and then she walked up to the confused butler and said, "Hello, I'm Tomoyo Daidoji. Can I ask you some questions?"

"Daoda Temple..."

The butler pondered the name. Isn't this the Dadao Temple Group that the young master asked them to cooperate with and invest in? Could it be...

"Daodaiji Yuanmei is yours..."

"She is my mother."

So that's how it is. This girl is the daughter of the president of the Daidoji Group. No wonder the young master asked them to cooperate with the Daidoji Group. Is he attracted to her daughter? So he tried to win her favor in advance to prepare for the future?

At this moment, the butler seemed to understand something, and his eyes softened when he looked at Tomoyo.

No wonder every time he asked about the young master's decision, the young master would always say, you will know later. It turns out that later is now. I didn’t expect it to be so soon.

"Is there any problem?"

Noticing that the butler's gaze towards him suddenly softened, Tomoyo asked politely.

She didn't find it strange that the other party knew her mother, because her mother was actually quite famous. Not only was she the president of the Daidoji Group, but she was also the granddaughter of Amamiya Shinki, the head of the Amamiya Group.

"No, nothing. What do you want to ask?" The butler retracted his gaze and asked softly.

"Um...I want to ask you about classmate Xia, is that okay?"

"Young Master?" The butler couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

They actually went in both directions, the young master is quite amazing.

"Yes, please follow me."

The butler smiled slightly and led Zhishi towards the reception room. Since they wanted to talk about the young master they served, it was impossible for them to just stand in the corridor.

Seeing this, Chise followed with a smile.

Soon, an old man and a young boy were seated.

Because time was tight, Tomoyo didn't chat and went straight to the point.

"Well, may I ask how did Xia celebrate her birthday in the past? When I asked her about her birthday today, I found that she didn't seem to care about it at all."

"Master's birthday..."

The housekeeper sighed and recalled, "Perhaps because he lost his parents when he was young, the young master doesn't care about his birthday at all, and doesn't even care about his age. If we hadn't helped him remember, I'm afraid the young master wouldn't even know how old he is now."

"This……"

Suddenly hearing this somewhat outrageous thing, Zhishi was a little speechless. Is it possible that beneath Xia's optimistic appearance, there is such a side?

"Since three years ago, when the young master was seven years old, every time the young master celebrated his birthday, he would climb up to the roof alone and stare at the moon in a daze. We don't know why the young master did this, and he didn't seem to want to tell us."

"We wanted to invite the young master's friends to our home to celebrate his birthday, but the young master never told us about this, so even if we wanted to, there was nothing we could do. Moreover, for some reason this year the young master suddenly wanted to come to this place to study, so the young master's previous contacts were cut off."

"So classmate Xia has never had a good birthday?"

After listening to the butler's story, Chishi asked, and the butler sighed, nodded and did not refute.

"Although as a servant, I shouldn't have too many thoughts about the master's young master, but every time I see the young master alone, I can't help but want to do something for him. After all, I watched him grow up."

"Well……"

Feeling the sincerity in the butler's tone, Tomoyo also fell into thought.

She originally just wanted to give Sakura some advice and think about how Sakura could thank classmate Xia, but she indirectly learned that classmate Xia's birthday was in a few days, and it seemed that classmate Xia had not yet had a good birthday.

"Mr. Butler, I have an idea..."

Zhishi smiled gently and said, since classmate Xia has never had a good birthday, let's start from this birthday.

A few minutes later, Tomoyo left the reception room.

She had already discussed it with the butler. Since the butler wanted to invite Xia's friends to the birthday party, and she also wanted Xia to experience the joy of her birthday, it was a perfect match.

She will invite Xia's good friends, and Mr. Butler will decorate the venue, which will definitely make Xia an unforgettable birthday.

And this is a surprise, so they need to keep it a secret from Xia.

While recalling the plan, Tomoyo was thinking about who to invite. He definitely couldn't invite all the classmates. Not to mention that the number of people seemed a bit too many, and classmate Xia was not familiar with every classmate.

Among the boys, it should be Yamazaki and Li, and among the girls, it should be Sakura and her. If we expand it, there are Chiharu and the others, and Meiling, who can be considered a comrade-in-arms.

But in the end, I still have to ask classmate Xia. It seems that she has to find another excuse to ask.

Thinking of this, Zhishi stopped thinking. Today is only Monday, and there are still seven days until next Monday. There must be enough time.

……

Time flies.

A week passed quickly. It was a very peaceful week. No Clow Cards appeared and no activities were held in the school.

Because Mid-Autumn Festival is not a legal holiday in Japan, we still have to go to school on Monday of the new week.

But since there were not many courses in elementary school, they left school early before dusk.

"Xia, wait a moment."

"Ok?"

This familiar cry seemed to have been heard just last Monday.

Xia Yu stopped and looked at Tomoyo who was following him from behind. Compared to Sakura, Tomoyo seemed even weirder in recent days. She always came to him to ask questions no matter what.

The key is that the questions he asked were strange and irrelevant, but fortunately he could always say a few words about even the strangest questions, so he was not afraid of not being able to answer them.

"What's wrong? Any problem again?"

Xia Yu looked at Zhishi who was walking towards him and asked subconsciously, but Zhishi, contrary to his usual behavior, shook his head and chuckled.

"Today is Xia's birthday, right? I want to buy her a birthday present, but I don't know what she wants, so I'm asking her to go with me."

"This one……"

Hearing this, Xia Yu scratched his head. How could you send a birthday gift to someone that required the person to be accompanied? Shouldn't the gift be a surprise?

"Don't give me a perfunctory answer, don't say you don't want it, and don't say you like any gift I give you."

The three "no's" directly blocked Xia Yu's words. He was just about to say that any gift was fine, as long as it was given by Zhishi, he would like it.

It seems like he came prepared.

Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. In this era, he really didn't want anything cheap, and Zhishi definitely couldn't afford what he wanted. The key point was that Zhishi also said that he couldn't be perfunctory. What should he do?
Seeing Xia Yu's awkward look, Zhishi covered his mouth and laughed secretly, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't worry, I was just joking just now. As long as classmate Xia accompanies me shopping once, I will know what gift to buy for classmate Xia by then."

"What about Sakura? Aren't you going to ask Sakura to join you this time?"

Xia Yu looked at Tomoyo in surprise. He didn't even call Sakura. Is this still the Tomoyo he knows?

"Sakura has her own things to do, let's go."

Tomoyo chuckled and walked forward first. Sakura still needed to lead the classmates who were attending the party to Xia's home, so she definitely couldn't go with them.

Her mission is to delay Xia during this period of time!
