Chapter 236 What a coincidence
Tick tock——!
Tick tock——!
In the abandoned building, the sound of dripping water echoes here.
Sakura stood on the water, looking at the familiar scenery around her, and a sentence emerged in her vague consciousness.
"here we go again……"
It was this strange dream again, a dream that I had forgotten after waking up, but when I dreamed about it again, the forgotten memory resurfaced.
It was like a huge rock that had sunk into an underground river long ago. When the river slowed down and the water level dropped, the rock revealed its presence.
But this time, the dream was a little different.
Sakura looked up and saw two strange birds looking at her from above the damaged building.
The two birds have dark grey feathers, tail feathers that are twice as long as their bodies, and curved feathers on their heads.
Seeing this strange bird that seemed not to be alive, Sakura ignored why she was able to stand on the water and trotted under the bird.
The quiet atmosphere around became increasingly eerie.
Suddenly, Sakura, feeling something, turned around and saw a figure floating not far away.
The general image of the figure is that of a woman in ancient costume, wearing a wide, high-waisted skirt, with a thin, bandage-like ribbon wrapped around her body, making her look as strange as a fairy in the sky.
Looking at the familiar white ribbon, a doubt slowly emerged in Sakura's mind.
"who is it?"
The floating woman was facing away from the light source, her face hidden in the darkness, and her features could not be seen clearly for the time being.
The next moment, the ribbon floating around the woman suddenly floated over.
Seeing this, Sakura subconsciously took a few steps back, but her confused consciousness did not make her turn around and run away. Instead, she looked at the ribbon that was flowing like the waves in front of her and reached out to touch it.
However, just as she was about to grasp the ribbon, her hazy dream was instantly shattered.
Looking at her hands that were not holding anything, Sakura came back to her senses and sat up on the big bed in the hotel. She couldn't help muttering as she recalled her increasingly hazy dream.
"It's that dream again. Who is that person?"
But even though she asked the question to herself, no one gave Sakura an answer. After being stunned for a moment, Sakura chose to get up, as she couldn't fall asleep anyway.
Soon, Touya and the others also got up.
After they rested in the hotel, they went to a nearby restaurant and prepared to have breakfast before going around Hong Kong.
Since you are traveling to Hong Kong, you must try Hong Kong's special breakfast - Hong Kong-style dim sum.
Hong Kong-style morning tea is Hong Kong-style breakfast tea, a traditional folk food custom.
In Hong Kong, people have the habit of drinking morning tea, which mainly consists of Chinese dim sum and tea, so breakfast basically consists of drinking tea and eating dim sum.
Inside the restaurant.
"I want four cages of that one, and I want this and that one, too."
At the dining table, Xuetu spoke rapidly and clicked his fingers continuously. In just a few minutes, dozens of small steamers were placed on the table in front of them.
It was not until there was almost no room left that the snow rabbit stopped, feeling unsatisfied.
"That's all we need for now."
After all, we will still be walking around and having fun later. If we don’t eat more, we might run out of energy while walking around.
Looking at the breakfast in front of him, Xuetu smiled gently and said, "Okay, let's eat."
"it is good……"
Sakura looked at the steamer in front of her, looked at Tomoyo beside her with some embarrassment, and suggested: "Tomoyo, how about we each take half?"
"Okay." Tomoyo nodded with a smile.
Hearing this, Sakura picked up a nearby steamer and was about to hand it to Tomoyo when she suddenly saw a yellow figure in the steamer below.
Xiao Ke had crawled into a steamer without knowing when, and was stuffing food into his mouth. When he found that the steamer above his head had been taken away, he was slightly stunned.
"Xiao Ke?!"
Sakura was so surprised that she couldn't help but exclaim. Hearing Sakura's exclamation, Touya raised his eyebrows slightly and looked over.
"Xiao Ke?"
Snapped!
Before Touya could understand what was going on, Sakura had already slammed the steamer in her hand down, raised her cute smile and said, "Nothing, let's choose something else."
Looking at Sakura's strange behavior, Touya blinked and suddenly said.
"Give me the cage you just brought back."
"Eh?"
Sakura, who was acting cute, was suddenly startled. Her cuteness was no longer effective in front of her brother.
"Don't you have the same one next to you? Aren't all the cages the same?"
Sakura wanted to struggle, but Touya pointed at her mercilessly: "I want your cage."
"But……"
"I just want that cage—"
Seeing that Sakura was still struggling, Touya simply stretched out his voice and read out each word.
Seeing her brother being so tough, Sakura reluctantly reached out to touch the basket of dim sum that had just been put down. Xiao Ke, who was under the steamer, was also sweating coldly. If he had known earlier, he should have secretly eaten from the lower layer.
Feeling the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Sakura made up her mind and was about to take the steamer away when she suddenly heard a familiar laugh from the side.
"Wow, hahaha! Boss, the Hong Kong-style dim sum here is really good. It's the best dim sum I've had since I came here!"
"Although this is my first day here today and the first time I have had morning tea since I came here, I recognize the taste. I, Xia Yu, am willing to call you the best!" Familiar tone, familiar laughter, although it was Cantonese instead of Japanese, Xiaoying and the others guessed who was speaking at once.
"Xia classmate?!"
Sakura and Tomoyo looked towards the source of the sound in surprise. Sure enough, at the table next to them, Xia Yu was sitting with his hands on his hips, holding his head high and laughing.
But the laughter didn't last long. As if he heard a familiar name, Xia Yu suddenly stopped and looked at the person next to him in confusion.
He was so excited that he actually heard Tomoyo and Sakura calling him?
It's only been a day or two since I last saw him, and he's already hallucinating? That's not possible, right?
After seeing the two familiar figures, Xia Yu was shocked: "Oh my god, not only did I hear the sound but I also saw it!"
One minute later.
Xia Yu sat beside Xiaoying at the dining table and laughed, "It turns out that I wasn't hallucinating because I missed you too much, but you really are here. What a coincidence."
"Tsk, how come I can always run into an arrogant guy like you everywhere?"
Seeing Xia Yu sitting next to them without any hesitation and reaching out to take their breakfast and start eating, Tao Ya curled his lips in dissatisfaction and muttered something.
"I was wondering why I keep running into you everywhere, you stinky part-time worker."
Xia Yu picked up the teacup in front of Tao Ya, drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, and pouted with some disgust.
"You didn't come to Hong Kong just to work, did you? If that's the case, then I really admire you for going abroad to work."
"What did you say?"
Touya glared at him unhappily, and Xia Yu was not to be outdone and glared back at him.
(ー`ー)……(')
Seeing that her brother was deliberately making trouble again, Xiaoying and Xia Yu glared at him unhappily.
"Brother, can't you be nicer?"
"What? Do I have a bad attitude? It's obviously this brat who has a worse attitude, okay?" Touya looked away in disbelief.
"Humph."
Sakura snorted, not looking at Touya's expression, but turned to look at Xia Yu and asked.
"Xia, why are you here? Are you actually from Hong Kong too?"
"That's not it."
Xia Yu waved his hand, took another cup and poured himself a cup of tea, then took a sip before speaking.
"I just came here to do something, but I didn't expect to run into you here by chance."
He came to Hong Kong to discuss cooperation, although it was not him but his housekeeper who discussed the cooperation with others.
After all, he looks like a teenager, so no one would believe him if he said he made the decision. But even so, the housekeeper who was loyal to him would come to ask him for instructions.
Although a phone call would only be enough, he still chose to come in person. One reason was to take a look at Hong Kong of that era, and the other was to see if he could run into Li Xiaolang who had also returned to China.
He could go and visit them when the time comes. After all, the Li family is a magical family, and he has never seen any magical family in Hong Kong.
"But why are you here? Are you here for tourism? Why did you think of traveling to Hong Kong?"
Hearing Xia Yu's question, Xiaoying explained: "We are indeed here for tourism, because I won the special prize of Tomoeda Town Commercial Street, which happens to be a five-day and four-night tour of Hong Kong."
"You won the lottery?"
Hearing this, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and thought in his heart.
A sinister guy with glasses once said that there is no coincidence in the world, only inevitability.
Things that seem accidental are actually inevitable in their occurrence or existence. Everything has a cause and an effect, and every effect has a cause.
Why did he feel that this was also Kuro's way of shifting the blame? Did Sakura really win the special prize by chance? He felt that there was some other conspiracy.
Xia Yu recalled it carefully, but he really had no impression of the plot related to Hong Kong.
Rather, does Cardcaptor Sakura really have a plot related to Hong Kong? All the main films take place in Tomoeda Town, even the Clear Card Arc is no exception.
Seeing Xia Yu thinking, Xiaoying asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"No, nothing. Maybe I'm overthinking it."
Xia Yu shook his head and stopped thinking. It was useless to think about it now. After all, Xiaoying and the others were here. Even if he really guessed the cause and effect, could he stop it?
He couldn't just send Sakura and the others back to Japan, could he? That would be too weird.
Besides, he didn't want to be recorded in the notebook by some wicked guy for the time being.
"By the way, Sakura, do you mind if I walk around with you? Come to think of it, this is my first time in Hong Kong in this era."
"this era?"
Sakura and Tomoyo looked at each other in confusion. What did this mean?
But before they could say anything, Touya frowned and said, "Didn't you say you had something to do? Why don't you go do your thing? Instead, you want to hang out with us."
"It's okay. It doesn't matter. It's the same with or without me."
While explaining casually, Xia Yu turned his head and waved to the butler who was originally sitting at his table, "Is that so? Butler, can you help me take care of everything?"
No, I still need you to make a decision, young master.
The butler said something silently in his heart, but he was not a man without vision. The girl that the young master cared about was also here, and it was obvious that the young master had some ideas.
Thinking of this, the butler nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Master, I will take care of everything, you can go and play with your friends without worry."
After getting the answer, Xia Yu smiled at Tao Ya who was dissatisfied beside him, raised his eyebrows and said: "Look, isn't that it?"
"Hmph, brat."
