Chapter 264 Your circle is so chaotic
"So the part-time job immortal is Touya."

Snow Rabbit, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two and then realized who the working immortal Xia Yu was talking about, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Hearing Yukito's laughter, Touya curled his lips and glared at Xia Yu unhappily.

Damn brat, he only knows how to give him these weird nicknames. Now Axue will definitely make fun of him about this from time to time.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Sakura saw her brother suddenly appear and asked in surprise why she seemed to see her brother everywhere.

"Didn't I write it on the blackboard at home?"

Hearing Sakura's question, Touya retracted his gaze from Xia Yu and explained casually: "School is on holiday today, so I came here to work part-time."

The snow rabbit next to him also said: "So I came along too."

"Uh-huh——"

Hearing this, Sakura couldn't help but look at her brother and complained, "It seems like every time I see you outside, you're working part-time..."

But compared to the part-time worker, I still prefer Snow Rabbit...

Sakura blushed slightly as she looked at Yukito, suppressed her excitement, and quickly asked, "By the way, Yukito, do you like strawberry desserts or food?"

"Hmm? I like it." Seeing Sakura suddenly asked him, Yukito replied gently.

After getting the answer, Sakura asked shyly: "Here are the instructions. I will try my best to pick strawberries and cook them well. Um... would you like to eat them?"

Looking at Sakura's shy yet slightly expectant expression, Yukito smiled softly: "Of course, I will eat anything Sakura makes."

"Great!"

Sakura nodded happily, her face gradually turned red, and she felt a little elated with joy.

"I'm leaving."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura strode forward with her basin in her arms. She wanted to quickly pick the biggest and reddest strawberries and cook them for Snow Rabbit.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu also waved his hand and said, "Then we'll go, Brother Xuetu and the stinky worker, see you later."

"Okay, see you later."

"Tsk, brat."

Chiyo, who had been listening quietly, bowed slightly and said, "Goodbye."

After saying goodbye, Xia Yu and Chiyo, who were left behind, quickly caught up with the departing team in front. Sakura happily ran towards the strawberry garden and ran directly to the front of the team.

"Oh my, Sakura is really full of energy."

At the back of the team, Tomoyo looked at Sakura who quickly ran out of sight, and couldn't help but chuckle with her hands covering her mouth.

"After all, Brother Xuetu is here, so we must cheer up." Xia Yu replied casually.

Succubus is no joke? If Li Syaoran were here, he might also perk up like Sakura.

"Well... the strawberry snacks made by Sakura will be given to Brother Tsukishiro, so would you like to try the snacks I made, Xia?" Suddenly, Tomoyo changed the subject, looked at Xia Yu and asked with a smile.

"Although my dim sum-making skills were taught by classmate Xia, it seems that classmate Xia hasn't tasted the dim sum I made for a long time."

Have it?

Xia Yu wanted to ask this question in return, but this answer seemed a bit stupid, so he coughed lightly and nodded.

"Okay, then I'll look forward to it. But as the saying goes, a good teacher produces good students. With such an excellent master like me, Zhishi's cooking skills are definitely worth looking forward to."

"Oh, now that Xia has said that, I guess I have to put in all my energy."

Soon, the strawberry picking team arrived at the strawberry garden.

Faced with the big and juicy strawberries, the students who came to pick strawberries were all extremely excited. This was much more interesting than staying in the classroom to attend classes.

As long as they don't have classes, they are willing to be busy all day.

Xia Yu was also squatting in front of the lush strawberry bushes at this moment. Looking at these well-growing strawberries, he felt a little emotional.

How can I put it? As expected of a cartoon world, even the strawberries are this big, red and tender, not ugly at all.

He didn't even see any bugs and felt that the strawberries could be eaten directly after being picked, without even having to be washed.

"What's wrong? Xia-san."

Chiyo, who was picking strawberries nearby, saw Xia Yu distractedly looking at the strawberries, and came over with a little curiosity and asked.

"Nothing, I'm just sighing how beautiful this world is."

Xia Yu sighed and reached out to pick a red and tender strawberry in front of him. It was growing so well that there was no need to pick it carefully.

However, there are also unripe strawberries, but unripe strawberries are all white or half red and half white, so there is no need to worry about picking the wrong ones.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Sakura looked at the strawberries in front of her with some embarrassment. Although each strawberry looked cute, Sakura still wanted to pick out the most delicious ones.

But after hesitating for a long time, she didn't pick any strawberries. Every strawberry looked delicious and she had a hard time making a choice.

"How was it? Did you pick a lot?"

Suddenly, a gentle questioning voice was heard, and the snow rabbit had come to this greenhouse without anyone noticing.

Sakura looked up and asked in surprise, "Brother Snow Rabbit?"

Snow Rabbit bent down slightly and saw that there was not a single strawberry in Sakura's bowl. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Um, I want to pick the best strawberries, but every strawberry looks delicious."

Seeing Sakura's embarrassed expression, Snow Rabbit smiled, squatted down, and explained: "When it comes to delicious strawberries, first of all, you need to look for dark green stems, and secondly, red fruit. Such strawberries are ripe and must be delicious."

"Eh--"

After hearing Yukito's explanation, Sakura nodded in understanding and replied subconsciously: "Brother Yukito knows a lot."

“That’s also where I learned it because we were also responsible for picking strawberries.”

After the conversation, Sakura followed Yukito's explanation and looked at the strawberry bush in front of her. Soon, she saw a big red strawberry. When she was about to reach out to pick it, Yukito suddenly grabbed her hand.

"Wait a moment."

Suddenly her hand was held, Sakura's face gradually turned red, and she felt a little shy.

However, Yukito failed to notice Sakura's change. He held Sakura's hand and continued to explain: "When picking strawberries, you should do this. Use your fingers to pick the strawberries from behind the green stem at the bottom of the strawberry and pick them off with the stem."

While saying this, Yukito held Sakura's hand and gave her personal instructions. Sakura blushed and followed Yukito's actions.

For a moment, Sakura felt that even time seemed to slow down.

However, this happy scene did not last long, as a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.

“What a beautiful picture.”

Hearing this voice, Sakura shyly turned her head and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Tomoyo!?"

Next to them, Chise had raised the camera at some point and captured the entire scene in camera. The raised corners of her mouth showed her happy mood at the moment.

Realizing that Tomoyo had seen her shy appearance just now, Sakura couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but in the next second, a bowl of strawberries suddenly appeared in front of her and Yukito.

Sakura and Yukito looked up and saw Li Syaoran, with a red face, holding a bowl of strawberries and handing them over.

"Classmate Li?"

Xiaoying was surprised. When did Li come here? And what was he doing?
Xuetu figured it out quickly. He smiled and pointed at himself and asked, "Is this for me?"

Hearing this, Li Xiaolang nodded woodenly, and at this moment, Taoya suddenly walked over, which made Li Xiaolang react instantly and glared at him with a frown.

Noticing Li Syaoran's vigilant look, Touya glared down unhappily, another annoying little brat.

The picture seemed to be frozen at this point, but outside this scene, Guan Yue Gefan was watching this scene quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Tsk, this is a world famous painting."

Outside the scene, Xia Yu held the strawberries he had picked, looking at this scene that could be called a world-famous painting, and shook his head.

Take a photo quickly.

This photo can be titled "Your social circle is so messy". There are only six people, but the relationships between them are as complicated as a big web.

Fortunately, he was not in this picture, otherwise he thought he could add several lines.

Well... now I'm here.

While the composition of the picture had not changed, Xia Yu hurriedly walked into the scene. Only when Xiao Xi finished taking the photo did he feel satisfied.

Sense of achievement +1
Favorite +1
……

Soon, the morning passed by picking strawberries.

It was lunch time. On the dining table, the strawberries picked by everyone were placed together. Everyone’s bowl was filled with many strawberries, which were red and very cute.

"We picked so many. I'm really looking forward to the afternoon schedule." Sakura looked at the strawberries displayed together, her tone excited and full of anticipation.

For Brother Snow Rabbit, she must learn how to make strawberry desserts in the afternoon.

Li Jia, who was sitting opposite, heard this and said, "Yes, since we have to learn how to make snacks in the afternoon, I will give it to Mr. Terada."

As soon as Rika said this, Chiharu beside her looked at Yamazaki beside her and said with a smile: "Then I'll cook for Yamazaki."

Upon hearing this, Yamazaki chuckled, put down his chopsticks and said, "Then I have to pray again."

"why?"

As if she had guessed what Yamazaki was about to say, Chiharu subconsciously clenched her fists. If Yamazaki said something she didn't want to hear, she would not let Yamazaki go.

"I'm going to pray that nothing will happen if I eat it."

()
"What did you say? What do you mean by that?"

Hearing these words as expected, Chiharu grabbed Yamazaki's collar with great skill and shook him violently.

"They are so kind, can't you say something nice to thank them?"

"Hey hey hey..."

Yamazaki who was caught did not resist. He smiled and shook along with Chiharu's hand. Judging from his smile, he seemed to enjoy the feeling of teasing Chiharu.

Seeing that Yamazaki and Chiharu had started again, Rika smiled helplessly, retracted her gaze and looked at Sakura and said, "But I'm worried about it being the first time, I don't know if it will succeed."

"Lijia, you can do it. After all, your other snacks are also delicious. There will definitely be no problem."

Sakura smiled back at him in encouragement, but as she said this, she was also a little nervous. What if the food wasn't tasty?
By the way, you can ask classmate Xia for help when the time comes. He will definitely know what to do.

Just as Sakura was waiting for the afternoon to arrive with both anticipation and nervousness, Naoko suddenly appeared and brought some not-so-good news.

"Have you heard? The itinerary scheduled for this afternoon has to be changed."

"Huh?"
Hearing this, everyone at the table exclaimed in surprise and couldn't help but look at Naoko. Why did such a good schedule change so suddenly?
Facing everyone's inquiring gazes, Naoko replied, "The door of the reference room I was supposed to go to this afternoon suddenly couldn't be opened."

"How could this happen? My strawberry dish..." Sakura murmured a little disappointedly after hearing this.

She was obviously looking forward to it.

"Where is the archive?" Seeing Sakura's lost look, Tomoyo asked.

"It's the warehouse halfway to the strawberry greenhouse."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoying stood up with some hopelessness, saying, "Is it really impossible to open it? I'll go take a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she ran towards the warehouse anxiously. Seeing this, Zhishi stood up and chased after her.

"I will go with you."

"Wait, finish your meal first."

Xia Yu, who had been silent, looked at the two people running away, then looked down at his lunch which he hadn't even touched, and couldn't help but sigh slightly. He closed his lunch box and followed them.

Really, how could he not eat properly? He should hurry over and open the door with the "Alaho Hole Open" and then come back to continue eating.

At another table, Li Xiaolang looked at the three people leaving and also stood up and chased after them.

"Little Wolf!?"

Seeing Li Xiaolang suddenly chasing after them, Li Meiling shouted in surprise and hurriedly followed.

In a moment, we were near the warehouse.

Because they left early, Sakura and the other two had already arrived here. Looking at the closed door in front of them, Sakura walked forward and pushed it with some confusion.

"Why can't it be opened?"

But as she exerted force, the iron door in front of her creaked open, and there was no feeling of blockage at all.

"Huh? Weird."

Seeing this scene, Sakura pushed open the door and walked in. Tomoyo and Xia Yu, who followed behind, also walked in.

Inside the warehouse, the tables, chairs and benches have all been put in place, the curtain and materials on the podium have also been prepared, and it seems that all that is left is for everyone to arrive before they can begin.

Looking at this well-prepared warehouse, Sakura became even more confused. Obviously, everything needed for the afternoon trip was prepared, and the door could be opened, right?
At this moment, Li Xiaolang's slightly vigilant voice suddenly sounded.

"be careful."

At the door of the warehouse, Li Xiaolang frowned slightly and walked in with a serious face. Li Meiling, who came here with him, was a little confused about why they came here, but still followed Li Xiaolang into the warehouse.

"Don't you feel it? The atmosphere is not right."

Li Xiaolang looked around vigilantly, but the next moment after he finished speaking, the door of the warehouse suddenly slammed.

Turning around, I saw that the iron door of the warehouse that was originally open was closed tightly for some reason, as if an invisible hand had just closed the door.

"Strange, why is the door closed?"

Seeing this, Sakura stepped forward in confusion and grabbed the ring of the iron door, trying to open it.

But the iron door that could be easily pushed open before was surprisingly solid this time. No matter how hard she pushed, the door showed no signs of shaking.

"No, it can't be opened at all."

After trying it, Sakura let go in frustration. She had already used up all her strength.

"This situation... Could it be another Clow Card?"

Looking at the dilemma in front of him with a sense of déjà vu, Xia Yu smacked his lips, took out his wand helplessly and complained: "If it really is the Clow Card, then it's really unlucky."

The aquarium encountered Water Cards, the zoo encountered Power Cards, the beach encountered Elimination Cards, the ice rink encountered Frozen Cards, and this time the Strawberry Garden actually encountered Clow Cards as well. It was truly an unexpected but reasonable unlucky event.

I just don’t know what the Clow Card is this time. A card that locks the door and can’t be opened... Could it be a lock card?

While thinking in his mind, Xia Yu casually pointed the magic wand at the keyhole and said: "Alaho open."

The tip of the stick flashed, but the iron gate did not open.

Xia Yu: "..."

"Okay, it's confirmed. It's the Clow Cards."

After all, except for those door locks protected by magic, there is no door that cannot be opened by the unlocking spell.

The same thing happened last time when he opened Chise’s small box. His unlocking spell was useless because the small box was protected by a shield.

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Li Xiaolang nodded secretly and said, "Then this card is very likely to be an ingot card."

"Ingot?"

Hearing this, Xia Yu was surprised and asked, "Why is it called a Ding card? Shouldn't it be called a Lock card?"

"How should I know that? You should ask Clow Reed about this, not me."

"What you said makes sense..."

This is really hard to refute. After all, the Clow Cards were created by Clow Reed, and the names were also decided by Clow Reed.

"So as long as we seal the ingot, the building can be opened?" Sakura asked, noticing the conversation between the two.

Li Xiaolang nodded and said, "That's right, but this is a very special card, and even I don't know how to crack it."

"Another special card..."

Xia Yu was embarrassed for a moment when he heard this. Special cards are usually not easy to seal, just like the puzzle cards that trapped him in the first place, he had no way to crack it.

But it's not that he has no way out. He can just use "Apparition" to leave. But this is only a temporary solution and he still has to seal the Clow Cards.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu asked, "Well, can brute force cracking work?"

Hearing this question, Li Xiaolang shook his head and said, "No, even the wind, fire and water in the upper cards are not acceptable."

"Tsk, that damn guy with glasses..."

Why did he create these special cards for no reason? Was he, a great magician, afraid that his house would be robbed?
"Eh? In this case, we won't be able to get out?"

Xiaoying couldn't help but exclaimed, but as soon as she said this, she noticed that Xia Yu and Li Xiaolang were looking at her with strange expressions at the same time.

"Uh? Did I say something wrong?"

"It's easy to get out. We can leave the warehouse by using the magic of the card that can pass through walls." Xia Yu looked at Xiaoying who had a dazed expression and explained.

Li Xiaolang also nodded and said, "So the important thing now is not how to get out, but how to seal the ingot."

"So that's it..."

Sakura scratched her head awkwardly, and for a moment even she felt that she was sometimes stupid.
