Chapter 133: Undecided in times of trouble
"I see."
Xia Yu let out a breath, perhaps he had always been a little self-righteous.
Come to think of it, even if those servants didn't exist in the beginning, haven't they left traces in this world now?
Moreover, when he purchased the identity in the system mall, the system explained to him that the attached servants were flesh and blood, living people with their own thoughts and cognition. Perhaps their appearance was related to the system, but they were still independent individuals.
Now that I think about it, the idea of treating other people as NPCs is quite selfish and arrogant. After all, life should not be despised and ignored.
Recalling what the system said at the beginning, Xia Yu turned to Zhishi and smiled: "Thank you for telling me this. If no one wakes me up, I might have ignored it."
Zhishi shook his head lightly and smiled: "It doesn't matter. As an ancient poem says, you cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in it."
"Hmm? Su Shi's poem on the wall of Xilin Forest. Are you trying to say that those who are involved are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly? Zhishi, you know something about these ancient poems."
Xia Yu couldn't help but look at Zhishi with admiration. Although even elementary school students could recite this ancient poem, because ancient poems in elementary school textbooks are required to be memorized, but those are Chinese elementary school students.
"…Xia, I've actually been wanting to say this for a long time. My grades are not bad."
As if he had noticed Xia Yu's surprise, Zhishi sighed helplessly and said, "Besides, I have read quite a few books, such as the Tang and Song poems of your country, which I have learned a lot about. Don't treat me like a child."
Hmm...you are worthy of being the eldest lady.
"Okay, okay, I apologize. Miss Zhishi, please forgive me. I shouldn't have underestimated your intelligence." Xia Yu clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhishi.
It's still because of his cognition. After all, in his cognition, the knowledge of elementary school students is just that, and most of their minds are still focused on having fun, just like Sakura.
Therefore, no matter how smart Chise appears, she is still a little girl in his eyes.
Now it seems that he needs to change his mindset and no longer treat Chise as a child.
Well...at least not in your mind.
"Humph, since you apologized sincerely, I will mercifully forgive you."
Chishi snorted softly, which was a rare change from his usual calmness, and he seemed a little playful.
The afterglow fell, and the last trace of dimness in the sky was finally taken away.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Tomoyo stood up, brushed the dust off the edge of her skirt, then put her hands behind her back and tilted her head slightly.
"It's getting late. I should go back. See you tomorrow, Xia~"
"and many more."
"Ok?"
Under Zhishi's puzzled gaze, Xia Yu also stood up, smiled slightly and said: "It's getting dark, I'll take you back."
"Well... I'll trouble you, Xia."
"It's okay, let's go."
……
After a while, night had completely arrived.
But the night did not seem dark. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and the earth was covered in silver.
It was a fine day, the moon and stars were bright, and there were no clouds to hide them.
Xia Yu was walking alone on the way home, looking at the clear and bright starry sky, feeling extremely emotional.
He still remembered that the last time he saw such a night sky without dust and haze in his original world was when he was a child, in the early 2000s.
If his memory served him correctly, he seemed to have seen the Milky Way at that time.
Unfortunately, as we grow up, the past will never return and the night sky will no longer be bright.
Luckily he restarted the game for the second time, still with the cheats.
"Xiao Xi, are you still alive?"
[Still alive, Master, it feels like you haven't talked to Xiao Xi for a long time. ]
【ó﹏ò】
"It's okay, go have fun, just show your face."
【//°Д°】
Slowly and leisurely, Xia Yu arrived home in a short while.
When he opened the door, he found the hall had been cleaned up. His servants had always been very efficient. Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have had any trouble with this.
"Welcome back, Master."
Seeing Xia Yu coming back, the housekeeper quickly stepped forward and greeted Xia Yu as usual. "Yeah."
Xia Yu nodded and did not leave.
Seeing this, the butler thought for a moment and said again: "We have sorted out all the gifts sent by your friends and put them in the collection room."
"Ah."
"?"
Seeing that Xia Yu still hadn't left, the housekeeper was a little confused. It seemed that he hadn't missed anything.
"Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"No."
Xia Yu retracted his gaze, feeling a little complicated. After a few seconds of pause, he continued, "Butler, are you willing to tell me about your past? For example, what happened before you became a butler."
"This……"
The butler was a little confused. Why did the young master suddenly want to know his past?
But it was not a secret that could not be told to others. The butler nodded and put his hand on his chest in greeting.
"my pleasure."
……
In the golden autumn of October, the weather is clear and refreshing.
The hot weather finally began to cool down, and the emerald green leaves gradually turned a light yellow.
After a cool drizzle, the school uniforms of Tomoeda Elementary School naturally changed to spring and autumn uniforms. Compared with the white short-sleeved uniforms in summer, the spring and autumn uniforms have become black long-sleeved, which are more suitable for this cool weather.
"It's almost the end of October. Time flies."
Xia Yu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at himself in the spring and autumn school uniform.
Mm, that's cute.
After nodding narcissistically at himself in the mirror, Xia Yu put on his white round hat, which was part of the Tomoeda Elementary School uniform, although he didn't understand why a hat was added to the school uniform.
It’s not a kindergarten, so you don’t have to wear a little yellow hat to provide safety when traveling.
But since it is a school requirement, he will comply. He used to not wear a hat very often, but now he has gradually gotten used to it.
My hair is getting a bit long, so it's time for a haircut. Hmm... should I keep it longer? Or just tie it up in a bun?
While thinking about these random things, Xia Yu said goodbye and left the house.
The air outside is still so fresh, and occasionally you can see passers-by jogging in the morning. The journey was safe and sound, and there were no unusual situations.
It was not until he walked into the classroom and sat down in his seat that Xia Yu vaguely felt something was wrong.
Extraordinarily calm.
"It seems to be a little too quiet lately."
Xia Yu took off his small round hat and hung it on the hook on the side of the desk.
It has been almost half a month, why haven't any abnormalities appeared yet?
According to normal procedures, the Clow Cards should have appeared long ago. Could it be that the Clow Cards were also slacking off?
Analyze calmly and think for a while...
Brain.exe is not responding.
"Good morning, Xia."
"Morning~"
A few minutes later, a familiar greeting interrupted Xia Yu's wandering thoughts.
"Tomoyo, have you encountered any unusual situations recently?"
Xia Yu came back to his senses, looked at Zhishi who put down his schoolbag and asked, "If you are in doubt, ask the director first."
The director did his job well and might be able to provide clues to the next Clow Card.
I am panicking while typing now, why do I suddenly have a leader... 1m tall girl, you are too arrogant, I kowtow to you orz (dong——!)
