Chapter 166: The Maze of Conversation

Xia Yu pursed his lips in response to Zhishi's words, feeling a little complicated for a moment.

How to answer this question...

Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

After a few seconds of pause, he laughed and shook his head, "That's right, Chise, you are really gentle."

"What's wrong? Classmate Xia doesn't like my gentleness?" Zhishi asked Xia Yu with a smile in his eyes.

"No, I like the gentle Chise very much." Xia Yu was not to be outdone and replied without backing down.

In response to Xia Yu's straightforwardness, Zhi Shi covered his mouth and chuckled, "Oh, Xia classmate is really bold, is this a confession?"

"Then Zhishi, will you agree?"

"Well...I'll have to think about it carefully then."

"That's so sad. I thought you would agree without hesitation, Tomoyo."

"Huh? Does Xia want me to agree?"

"..."

Damn it, he lost again.

Xia Yu let out a light sigh and withdrew his gaze from Zhishi.

When did this scheming little rich woman become so bold? She was shy and blushed when he touched her when we first met, but now she can remain calm when he says such things.

Is this Tomoyo's true self? Or is it because they are too familiar with each other that Tomoyo can no longer act like an ordinary girl when facing him?

Well... no, he couldn't just admit defeat like that.

For some reason, Xia Yu developed a strange desire to win. He turned around and saw Zhishi still laughing there.

After thinking for a second, Xia Yu suddenly stood up and walked in front of Zhishi, then half squatted down, and then he just stared at Zhishi.

Zhi Shi: “?”

The smile on Zhishi's face paused. She looked at Xia Yu in confusion and asked, "Xia, what are you doing?"

Xia Yu didn't answer, nor did he make any other movements. He just stared into Zhishi's eyes.

After a few seconds, Zhishi's eyes began to wander, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xia, Xia classmate, what can I do for you?"

"Yes, look at you."

"..."

Zhishi lowered her head silently, her little face slightly red. Seeing Zhishi's embarrassed blushing face, Xia Yu's mouth corners raised, and his mood instantly became better. He successfully turned the game around, and this time he won.

Fight him? Wishful thinking.

Should we pursue the victory or let it go?
Xia Yu looked at Zhishi with his head down, thinking silently, if he let Zhishi go like this, maybe Zhishi would retaliate next time...

That’s right, he wants to press on with his victory and make sure Zhishi never dares to tease him in front of him again!

How can a child tease an adult? It is obvious that only adults tease children!
Thinking of this, Xia Yu leaned close to Zhishi's ear and chuckled softly, "So cute~"

Chiyo: “!!!”

Chise lowered her head even lower.

Xia Yu suppressed his laughter and stopped teasing her. Instead, he sat aside again and continued to sing karuta to relieve his boredom in a good mood.

……

Sunset, evening.

Sakura here.

"No, no, I can't find the exit no matter what I do."

Sakura, exhausted both physically and mentally, sat on the ground powerlessly, wanting to give up.

After the previous plan to use flying cards to find the exit failed, Sakura and Syaoran, who could not think of any other solution, could only use the clumsy method of walking through the maze little by little to find the exit.

However, they have walked all this way until now without seeing any exit to leave the maze, let alone any clues to solve the maze.

"Then let's take a rest here first." Seeing that Xiaoying seemed to be exhausted, Li Syaoran, who was traveling with him, sighed slightly and sat down against the wall.

He was also a little tired. After all, several hours had passed since they were trapped in the maze. He and Sakura had also walked for several hours, but they still could not get out of the maze.

Even the scenery around them didn't change much, which caused them to be not only physically tired, but also mentally exhausted.

I don't know how Meiling is doing. If the maze separated them according to their positions, then Meiling should be the only one there. I hope she can hold on by herself.

Just as Li Xiaolang was silently worried about Mei Ling, a strange voice suddenly came from the side.

goo—

Hearing the voice, Li Xiaolang came back to his senses and looked.

Realizing that Li Syaoran was looking at her because of the voice, Sakura blushed and covered her face with her hands, burying her head in her knees.

"Um... sorry, that was my stomach making noises."

"That means it's time for dinner now."

Li Xiaolang replied and looked away. It was normal for people to feel hungry. It was normal to feel hungry at dinner time, not to mention that he had just walked for such a long time and had consumed a lot of energy.

Realizing that Li Syaoran was not laughing at her, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief, raised her head, and with a somewhat depressed look, she hugged her legs with her hands and pressed her chin on her knees.

"If you haven't returned yet, Dad and the others must be very worried."

If she didn't find the exit, her father or brother would definitely come looking for her. What if they couldn't find her? What if they were also trapped in the maze?
Sakura became even more depressed about these questions that she couldn't think of answers to.

She couldn't help but tilt her head to look at Li Xiaolang and said, "Student Li, Wen Bo must be worried about you and Student Meiling too."

Hearing Sakura talking to him, Li Syaoran turned his head, glanced at the depressed Sakura, and nodded.

"Well, after all, Meiling and I usually give him a heads-up when something happens, but this time we didn't even say hello. He must be worried."

"Besides Meiling, does Li have other brothers and sisters?"

"Forehead……"

Hearing this question, Li Xiaolang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became complicated. He couldn't help but tilt his head and sighed deeply, "Yes."

"Eh? How many are there?"

Hearing this, Sakura instantly became interested and couldn't help but move towards Li Syaoran's position.

Noticing that Sakura seemed to be interested in this topic, Li Syaoran closed his eyes, leaned his head against the wall and replied, "I have four sisters."

"Four!"

Sakura was a little surprised, then exclaimed: "That's great, it must be very lively."

"That's not even the level of excitement..."

Li Xiaolang had a complicated expression. What would his four elder sisters say? Fortunately, he had gotten used to it, otherwise most people would not be able to accept it.

"Eh?"

Sakura wondered why Li had such a strange expression on his face. Wouldn't it be nice to have a more lively home?

"nothing."

"Oh……"

The atmosphere was silent. Sakura looked at Li Syaoran and couldn't stand the quiet atmosphere anymore, so she couldn't help but talk to him again.

"Oh, yeah, does Li look like his dad? Or his mom?"

"Well……"

In response to Xiaoying's curiosity, Li Xiaolang paused, but still replied: "It is said that I look a lot like my father when he was young."

"Eh? I really want to meet Mr. Li's father."

After hearing this, Li Xiaolang's eyes dimmed slightly. His expression remained unchanged as he replied, "My father passed away when I was very young."

Sakura: Σ(д|||)
Shit! It seems like she has opened someone else's wound again!
