Chapter 260 You actually like me, right?

The next day, early in the morning.

As the bell rang, Xia Yu looked ahead of him with some confusion. Zhishi had not come to school yet. Did he take a leave of absence?

After all, Tomoyo has never been late, and has never entered the classroom on time like Sakura.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu glanced at Xiaoying in front of him on the left. For some reason, Xiaoying was also depressed when she entered the classroom today, and she was a little weak when she greeted people, as if she had something on her mind.

Everything was fine yesterday.

Xia Yu was a little confused about what was going on, and was about to ask Xiaoying when Guanyue Gehan opened the front door of the classroom and walked in.

Seeing the teacher coming, Xia Yu had to suppress his thoughts temporarily and planned to wait until the get out of class was over.

Not long after, Guan Yue Gefan took out the roll call book and began to call the roll. After all the names of the students in the class had been called, she spoke.

"Doudouji-san is feeling unwell..."

When Xia Yu, who was originally a little worried, heard Guan Yue Gefan suddenly mention Daidoji, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"She needs to rest at home. Her mother just called and asked for a day off."

As Guan Yue Ge Fan finished speaking, Xia Yu frowned slightly. He was fine yesterday, so why did he suddenly feel unwell today? Did he become hoarse while practicing singing yesterday?

Xia Yu, who was a little worried, thought for a moment, but since there was no clue, he couldn't think of any other reasons for a while.

It was not until the bell rang that he hurriedly stood up, walked up to Sakura and asked directly: "Tomoyo asked for leave today because she was not feeling well, but she was fine yesterday. Sakura, do you know what happened?"

Xiaoying, who was also worried and frowned slightly, heard this, looked up at Xia Yu and nodded.

A few minutes later, on the lawn downstairs.

Sakura sat on the bench and said in a muffled voice, "It was because of the Clow Cards that Tomoyo couldn't come to school."

"Clow Cards!?"

Xia Yu was quite surprised when he heard this. How could it be related to the Clow Cards again? Did Zhishi get hurt yesterday because of the Clow Cards?
Damn it, I should have waited until Tomoyo finished practice yesterday before going home together.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and Xiaoying continued: "It was when Zhishi was practicing singing yesterday that the Clow Cards suddenly appeared."

"According to Xiao Ke's guess, this Clow Card seems to be a sound card. It likes Tomoyo's voice very much, so it took Tomoyo's voice away."

"So Zhishi can't make any sound now, right?" Xia Yu asked.

Sakura nodded gloomily and continued, "Tomoyo said that if we can't sing the solo part well in this choir competition, the whole song will be wasted."

"She's obviously working so hard, and it's not just for the choir competition. If Tomoyo has no voice..."

As she spoke, Sakura couldn't help but look a little sad, and her eyes revealed deep worry.

Looking at Sakura's appearance, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted. Although he knew that the Clow Cards would be sealed, he didn't know how long this process would take. Tomoyo must be feeling very bad at this moment.

After thinking for a few seconds with a serious face, Xia Yu took a deep breath and nodded: "I understand."

After saying that, he turned around and left in silence. Seeing this, Sakura felt even more upset. Classmate Xia usually has a good relationship with Tomoyo, so she must be very sad at this moment.

If she had been more careful yesterday...

Sakura returned to the classroom feeling somewhat depressed, her heart filled with self-blame.

In the classroom, Li Syaoran noticed Sakura who had just left. Looking at Sakura's heavy mood, he couldn't help but frown slightly, and a feeling of worry rose in his heart.

A few minutes later, the class bell rang. It was only then that Sakura suddenly noticed that Xia Yu's seat was still empty and he had not returned to the classroom.

……

At the same time, at Daidoji Manor.

Xia Yu looked at the closed door in front of him and took a deep breath. He still couldn't hold back. He wanted to wait until after school to come and have a look, but when he reacted, he had already used "Apparition" to come here.

After a few seconds of pause, Xia Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he stepped forward and rang the doorbell. Since he was already there, he was already there.

Soon, a servant responded to him, and after he answered truthfully, the door of the Zhi family was opened for him.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the living room of Chiyo's house.

Zhishi also came out to greet him in casual clothes. Seeing Zhishi just smiling but not saying anything, Xia Yu felt a sinking feeling in his heart.

"Tomoyo, your voice..."

Upon hearing this, Chise smiled and shook her head gently, then raised her hand and made an OK gesture, as if to say don't worry, she's fine.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu felt a little uncomfortable. He was clearly the one who was hurt, but he was still emphasizing that he was fine and told others not to worry...

Chise is really too gentle.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. When the sound stopped, the door of the living room was pushed open from the outside. Daidoji Yuanmei leaned out with a tea tray and said with a smile.

"Hello."

"Hello."

Seeing Daidoji Yuanmei coming in with a tea tray, Xia Yu hurriedly stood up and greeted her, then said in surprise: "Aunt, you are actually at home? It's so rare."

Zhishi's mother is a very busy person. In the past, when he came to visit Zhishi's family, he might not meet her nine times out of ten.

"After all, I am Tomoyo's mother. If Tomoyo is unwell, I must stay by her side."

Daidoji Sonomi put down the tea tray in her hand and replied with a slight smile. While saying this, she couldn't help but look at Tomoyo who was smiling slightly beside her with some heartache.

After pouring a cup of tea for Xia Yu, she also asked: "But I just want to ask, you are still in class now, right? Why did you come to visit Zhishi during class time?"

"that……"

Hearing this, Xia Yu smiled awkwardly and said, "I actually took a day off today, but it was just a personal leave. Xiaoying told me yesterday that Tomoyo suddenly couldn't make a sound, so I took this opportunity to come over to visit."

"So this is ah."

Daidoji Sonomi smiled slightly and said without any doubt: "Thank you for your concern for Chiyo, Xiaoxia."

"Nothing, we are friends after all."

After chatting for a few more words, Daidoji Sonomi chuckled and stood up and said, "Then I won't bother you two. Tomoyo, please be polite."

Chise smiled slightly and nodded gently to show that he understood.

Only after Daidoji Yuanmei left did Xia Yu breathe a sigh of relief. Zhishi's mother was here, so even if he wanted to help Zhishi, he couldn't.

Now it was just him and Chise who were left here, which made things convenient for him.

But before he could ask Zhishi anything, Zhishi suddenly picked up the notebook in front of him and seemed to be writing something. After stopping writing, Zhishi looked at Xia Yu and smiled slightly, then raised the notebook in his hand to show Xia Yu. [Xia, you were actually lying just now, right? You clearly didn't ask for leave yesterday.]

"Ah, this... I really can't hide anything from you." Xia Yu scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

After hearing Xia Yu's answer, Zhishi continued to write something in her notebook, and then she raised the notebook again.

[So did Xia ask for leave today? Or did Xia come here without asking for leave? ]

"This one……"

Xia Yu was speechless for a moment. He didn't ask for leave today. He just skipped class to come here.

Anyway, he is not afraid. If the teacher asks him tomorrow, he will say that he has some private matters, so he did not have time to ask for leave. As for what the private matters are...

No comment.

Seeing Xia Yu remain silent, Zhishi couldn't help but frown slightly. Sometimes silence is also a kind of answer.

She turned over another page and started writing in her notebook again. This time it took her a long time. After she finished, Zhishi showed what she had written to Xia Yu again.

[Why did you come here directly? If you didn't ask for leave, it would mean you skipped class. I don't want Xia to be negatively evaluated because of me. Xia should go back to school as soon as possible. I'm really fine.]

Looking at what Zhishi wrote, Xia Yu sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "This is not up to you. Unless you can tie me back to school, I'm undecided."

Upon hearing this, Zhishi couldn't help but puffing out her cheeks, as if she was unhappy with Xia Yu's stubbornness. Just as she turned over a new page and wanted to write something, Xia Yu suddenly reached out and snatched the notebook from her hand.

"You are not allowed to write. I am worried about you, so I will not leave until your voice recovers."

Hearing this, Chishi was stunned for a moment. After she reacted, she couldn't help but blushing slightly.

Seeing this, Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed, as he was so anxious that he spoke out his real thoughts.

After the strange atmosphere lasted for a minute, Zhishi pointed at the notebook in Xia Yu's hand with a blushing face, as if he wanted to write something.

Noticing Zhishi's actions, Xia Yu didn't want to hand over the notebook, but looking at Zhishi's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but soften his heart and handed over the notebook.

"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to write anything that requires me to go back to school, or I will take the notebook away from you and never give it to you again."

Before giving it, Xia Yu gave some instructions, and Zhishi nodded with a blush.

After getting the notebook, Zhishi held the notebook in his hand, first glanced at Xia Yu secretly, then hurriedly lowered his head and began to write on the notebook nervously.

Noticing Zhishi's little action, Xia Yu was a little curious. What was he writing? Why did he look at him?
This time it didn't take long to write. After finishing, Chishi raised the notebook to cover her face and then showed it to Xia Yu.

[You actually like me, right? ]

There was only a short sentence on the notebook, but this sentence made Xia Yu panic. Even his heart, which had been accustomed to all kinds of scenes, couldn't help but beat faster.

"I, um, I actually..."

After stuttering for a few times, Xia Yu realized that he couldn't even speak a sentence clearly, so he simply shut up and sat down in a daze.

It was just an ordinary question, but he felt the blood rushing to his head and his face getting hot. If he guessed correctly, his face must be red now.

There is a sense of shyness at having one's thoughts exposed, a sense of panic at wanting to deny it, and a sense of nervousness that even I am not sure what the reason is.

On the other side, Chise secretly put down the notebook that was covering her face. Looking at Xia Yu's panic, she couldn't help but curl up a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Obviously, she is the one who should be shy, but why does it feel like classmate Xia is even shyer than her?

After admiring Xia Yu's nervous look, Zhishi happily turned another page and started writing again.

After she finished writing, she tapped the notebook. Seeing Xia Yu turned around and looked at her, she showed the newly written content.

[I thought Xia would never panic no matter what happened, but it turns out that Xia also gets nervous sometimes. ]

"I am also a human being after all..."

Xia Yu muttered softly, glanced at Zhishi with a confused look, and said again: "Besides, no matter who it is, they will panic when they encounter this kind of thing for the first time."

Hearing this, Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, seeming quite happy.

After laughing, Zhishi looked at him steadily, as if wanting him to give an answer.

Seeing this, Xia Yu reached out and pressed his chest. He could feel his heart pounding. It seemed that his heart knew the answer to the question better than he did.

"I……"

Xia Yu opened his mouth and suddenly disappeared from where he was. At the same time, he said, "I'll go find the sound card. I will make sure you can recover your voice today."

Looking at Xia Yu who suddenly disappeared and the place where Xia Yu disappeared, Zhishi lay on the sofa with his notebook in his arms, curled up, his face gradually turning red.

Although Xia Yu did not say it explicitly, just as she guessed at the beginning, sometimes silence is also an answer.

She couldn't help but bury her head under the notebook, and her red ears already revealed her mood at the moment.

……

Meanwhile, the outside world.

Top of the building.

Xia Yu, who came here through "Apparition", took a deep breath, feeling the breeze from the outside, and his pounding heart gradually slowed down.

But his face was still very hot, and even a little hot to the touch. He didn't even need to look in the mirror to know that his face must be red at this moment.

"You're not a little boy anymore, but you still blush. Tsk."

After complaining about himself, Xia Yu slapped his face. He was not a pure boy like Li Xiaolang, who would blush...

Damn, totally out of control.

Thinking back to Zhishi's shy look, Xia Yu's heart, which had calmed down, began to beat faster again. He hurriedly shook his head to suppress his thoughts.

I can’t think about it anymore, otherwise that dizzy feeling will come back again.

By the way, he still has to find the sound card and can’t waste time here thinking about random things. The important thing now is to let Tomoyo recover his voice first.

Thinking about this goal, Xia Yu first cast an illusion spell on himself, then came to the edge of the building, looking at the blurry streets below, he did not hesitate, took a step forward, and fell.

He closed his eyes for a few seconds, feeling the strong wind blowing on his face, then he opened his eyes, spread his wings and took off.

My pounding heart finally slowed down and I could continue.

　Ahem, don't criticize me. Let me tell you what I think first. Actually, I said it at the beginning. Although there is an ambiguous atmosphere now, and even that layer of window paper is about to be broken, Xia Yu can only make clear his feelings when the dream card appears. Only after Elio appears will Xia Yu completely face up to his feelings for Tomoyo. This will also make Xia Yu owe Elio a favor, so that Xia Yu will abide by Elio's approach, that is, not interfere with his test of Sakura. If Xia Yu intervenes, Sakura probably won't be able to convert all the Clow Cards into Sakura Cards.

　　And by then, I also want Tomoyo to guess from Xia Yu's usual blunt words that he is not actually from this world, and then ask Xia Yu in turn, although at this time Xia Yu can also directly confess to Tomoyo, Tomoyo will accept it after a slight surprise. But instead of letting Xia Yu tell Tomoyo directly, I think it is more appropriate to let Tomoyo observe Xia Yu and guess it. After all, Tomoyo is such a careful girl. Her love is not blazing, but like a drizzle that moistens things silently, silently guarding and accompanying, so she can observe that Sakura will not accept herself, so that Sakura can pursue her own happiness. Therefore, she will also observe the reasons why Xia Yu has not accepted herself, and finally tell Xia Yu everything and ask about the final choice. At that time, Elio will enlighten Xia Yu and let him accept this relationship.

　　Emmm, is this considered a spoiler? Anyway, the general plot of the rest of the story is like this. After accepting the confession, there will be a few more original plots, and it will end when Sakura accepts Syaoran's confession. I still don't know if I will write the clear card chapter, hehe~
