Chapter 280 Costumes for the Performance

After hearing what Xia Yu and Zhi Shi said, Xiao Ying became even more shy. Xiao Ke beside her thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "You guys are playing Sleeping Beauty, right?"

"Ah."

"So the princess is the protagonist of the story, then who is the princess?"

"Student Li." In response to Xiaoke's question, Xiaoying poked her index finger embarrassedly and replied in a low voice.

"What did you say!?" Xiao Ke was completely stunned when he heard this.

"Why would the princess be that brat?"

"Because it was decided by drawing lots, there's nothing I can do about it." Sakura replied rather embarrassedly. She did not forget the ending of the story, where the prince had to kiss the princess.

Shocked, Xiao Ke scratched his head helplessly and couldn't help but complain: "But the roles of boys and girls should be clearly defined."

"Because Mr. Guanyue said that we should give every character a fair chance, so we will determine the roles by drawing lots."

"Teacher Mizuki?"

Hearing Sakura mention the teacher's name again, Xiao Ke frowned slightly and said, "She also appeared in the dream created by the dream card, right?"

"Ah."

"And that little devil seems to be wary of her, um... why is that?"

As he thought about it, Xiao Ke sat on the bed with his arms folded across his chest and continued, "I do feel a magical power. I feel that there is a person with powerful magical power living in this city, so..."

Hearing Xiaoke's mumbling, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but take over the conversation.

"Only one? Come on, you're so weak."

In this city, there are three people who possess powerful magic powers, besides Sakura, that he knows of: Touya, Mizuki, and Yukito in Yue's disguise.

Even if Yukito doesn't count, there are at least two people, Mizuki and Touya. How could Xiaoke only sense one?
And judging from the fact that Touya meets Xiaoke face to face from time to time, the owner of the magic power that Xiaoke sensed might be Mitsuki.

As for why he couldn't sense Touya's magic power, it was either because Touya hid it too well, or Xiaoke's perception ability was not strong.

But if he remembered correctly, after Elio appeared, there was a guardian beside Elio that looked like a big moth. It could also sense the magic power in Touya and wanted to obtain this magic power.

After such a comparison, Xiaoke is indeed weaker.

Hearing Xia Yu's laughter, Xiao Ke instantly suppressed his doubts and glared at him with dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean, kid? Can you sense more than one person? If you can, tell me who else it is!"

"I don't have any magical perception, so how would I know?" Xia Yu spread his hands and told the truth.

He really couldn't sense it, but the only thing he knew about Touya's magical powers and Yukito's true identity was that he remembered them from watching an anime.

"hateful……"

Xiao Ke glared at Xia Yu with gritted teeth, but finally sighed helplessly, turned to look at Xiao Ying and said, "Then I'll go to the talent show too."

"Wait, why?"

Sakura, who was still thinking about Xiaoke's words, looked over with some surprise when she heard Xiaoke suddenly say that she wanted to go too.

Xiao Ke smiled slightly and said seriously: "I want to investigate Teacher Guan Yue and see your heroic figure by the way." "Xiao Ke, you just want to watch the talent show!"

After hearing Xiaoke's reasons, Xiaoying grabbed Xiaoke and exposed him on the spot.

Xiao Ke shook his head when he was caught, but did not refute. He laughed and said, "That's right. I'm looking forward to it too."

"Woo..."

Although she was very shy, Sakura couldn't stop others from wanting to watch her performance, so she had no choice but to put Xiaoke down.

Although she had no complaints about playing the role of a prince, she was still shy when she thought that her performance would be seen by so many people.

After chatting for a while, Tomoyo decided to say goodbye because she had to go home to prepare costumes for Sakura and Syaoran's performance.

Since she is the one who sews Sakura's costume, then Li Syaoran is no exception. After all, Li Syaoran's role and Sakura's role are a pair, and she wants to make Li a lovely princess as well.

Seeing this, Xia Yu also planned to say goodbye, but just as he and Tomoyo walked out of Sakura's house, Tomoyo suddenly grabbed him.

"Um, Xia, I don't think I can make both Sakura and Li's costumes by myself within the time limit, so..."

Xia Yu: "..."

No, I think you totally can.

Although I know that Tomoyo was just looking for a reason to make clothes with him, this reason was too... No, wait, I can't think like that.

Xia Yu shook his head and thought about it from another perspective. Zhishi was at least willing to find a reason.

Seeing that Xia Yu did not answer immediately and seemed to be considering her words, Zhishi pursed her lips and thought of the advice Li Meiling gave her.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her shyness, reached out and grabbed Xia Yu's hand, and pulled him forward.

Xia Yu, who was still thinking about how to answer Zhishi, suddenly felt someone holding his hand. He looked up and saw Zhishi pulling him forward.

“Tomoyo, you…”

Before he could finish his words, his hand that was being held was suddenly pinched, and this sudden movement made him pause.

"..."

Does this mean that he should not continue asking questions?
Xia Yu thought about it carefully and felt that his guess was probably correct. Was he too shy to speak because of the sudden dominance?
Then don’t ask.

However, the pinch just now also made him notice that Tomoyo's hands were soft and tender. He didn't know if it was because she was a girl or because she was young.

Maybe it’s because she is a girl. There is a saying in the Book of Songs: hands like tender catkins, skin like solidified fat. The word “tender catkins” originally means soft and white young shoots of thatch grass, but in ancient times it was also often used to describe a woman’s tender and white hands.

Since there is a word specifically to describe a woman's hands as white and soft, it is normal for girls' hands to be soft and tender.

However, Chishi's little hands were not only soft, but also very warm, and seemed to be a little hot. Was she nervous?
As he was thinking about it, Xia Yu suddenly realized that something was wrong. It wasn't the first time they held hands, so why did he suddenly start paying attention to these small details?
Xia Yu was silent for a moment, and recalled the dream he had during the dream card session. Is it because he cares about it subconsciously that he also cares about everything in reality?

Somehow, he suddenly thought of Li Syaoran. That boy also began to care about Sakura unknowingly. Until one day, he realized his feelings and he liked Sakura.

What about him?
If the dream was based on what the dream card gave, he would undoubtedly like Chise.

Xia Yu looked up at Zhishi's back as he walked in front of him. His emotions became more complicated than ever before. The calmness that he had suppressed in the past few days finally emerged completely at this moment.
