Chapter 296 A real man can bend and stretch

Tram in the morning.

Li Xiaolang was carrying the lunch bag which was nearly one meter high and put it down with some effort.

Seeing this, Sakura at the side couldn't help but say, "Excuse me, Li, let me get it once the train arrives at the station."

"No need." Li Xiaolang blinked, turned his head and replied.

"So why don't you let me put the lunch away? Why do I have to hold it in my hand?" Xia Yu asked casually when he saw this.

Before leaving, he asked if he should put the lunch boxes away and take them out when he arrived at the destination, so that he wouldn't have to waste time and effort carrying them.

But in response to his suggestion, Sakura shook her head and chose to take it herself. When Li Syaoran saw this, he reached out to help her take it and carried it all the way to the train.

Facing Xia Yu's doubts, Xiaoying replied: "But the bento bag is so big, it would be very strange if it suddenly disappeared and suddenly reappeared."

"No need, I can carry it." Li Xiaolang also replied. Although the lunch box was very large, it was not difficult for him to carry it.

"Well, since you want to be a laborer, then you should put in more effort."

Since Li Xiaolang, a coolie, had refused, Xia Yu didn't say anything more. It wasn't him who proposed it anyway.

"Haven't you arrived yet?"

Just as the few of them were chatting casually, Xiaoke, who was hiding in Sakura's backpack, suddenly poked his head out, drooped his body weakly, and asked in a low voice.

Seeing this, Tomoyo carefully walked to the side and blocked Xiaoke's body, while Sakura subconsciously reminded: "Xiaoke, don't stick your head out suddenly."

"But it's very stuffy in the backpack."

"So I think it's better for you to stay at home. Even if you want to eat something delicious, I can always make it for you."

"I didn't come out here just to eat delicious food."

Hearing Sakura's misunderstanding of her, Xiao Ke crossed her arms and retorted before saying, "I just want to be with you as much as possible because it's almost the end."

"Eh? At the end?"

Hearing Xiao Ke's slightly solemn words, Xiao Ying asked curiously: "What do you mean by last? Are you referring to the last Clow Card?"

"Yes."

Xiao Ke nodded slightly seriously, but Sakura didn't notice Xiao Ke's emotions and instead said excitedly.

"So we'll be able to collect all the Clow Cards soon?"

"Yeah, that's why I gave all the Clow Cards to you."

Xia Yu casually replied, and then asked, "By the way, Sakura, are you familiar with the Clow Cards I gave you?"

"Well, I wrote the name on each one and talked to them carefully."

Sakura nodded happily, and suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the Tokyo Tower outside the train. Looking at the familiar building, the scene from her dream reappeared in her mind.

The originally vague dream became clearer and clearer, and I always felt that something was about to happen. Could this have anything to do with what Xiaoke said at the end?

Seeing that Sakura, who was originally somewhat happy, suddenly became silent, Tomoyo beside her asked quietly, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I'm sorry."

Sakura, startled by the words, came back to her senses and smiled apologetically.

Although she didn't know what would happen next, she believed that everything would be fine.

Woo——!
With the sound of the tram whistle, they soon arrived at their destination.

Li Xiaolang, who refused help, walked on the overpass alone with a little difficulty, carrying a large lunch bag.

Looking at Li Xiaolang's awkward walking posture, Xiaoying couldn't help but say, "Mr. Li, let me help you carry it for a while."

"No, it's okay."

Li Xiaolang shook his head and refused. He said he would take it alone, so he would definitely take it alone. "Xiaoying, you still don't understand."

Seeing that Xiaoying was about to say something, Xia Yu interrupted and said, "A man can't say no, especially when he is Master Li who has been strong all his life."

After all, Li Syaoran is a very easy person to understand, only Sakura is stupid enough not to see it.

"what?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Before Xia Yu could continue speaking, Li Xiaolang interrupted him and strode forward with his lunch bag in his arms.

Seeing this, Sakura hurriedly chased after him.

"Wait for me, Mr. Li."

The destination was not far from the tram stop, and it didn't take long for the four of them to arrive at the venue of the archery competition.

This is a shrine. Compared with their local Yuefeng Shrine, this shrine is slightly larger. After searching inside the shrine for a long time, they finally found the archery field where the archery competition was held.

This is an outdoor venue, unlike ordinary kyudo dojos where the archery targets are placed indoors.

As she turned her head to look at the archery range, Sakura murmured in surprise, "The archery range is in a place like this, inside a shrine."

"Because archery is also a ritual."

Suddenly, a familiar and gentle voice of explanation sounded in her ears. Hearing this familiar voice, Sakura turned her head happily.

"Brother Snow Rabbit!"

"Good morning."

Snow Rabbit, who was wearing a white Kyudo uniform, smiled and greeted them, and Sakura and the others quickly nodded and greeted them back.

Looking at the children in front of him, Xuetu smiled and asked, "Are you here to cheer for me?"

"Yes."

Sakura nodded and said quickly, "Well, I also made a bento."

"That's it!" Upon hearing that, Li Xiaolang hurriedly brought the lunch bag behind him to the front and showed it to Xuetu.

Seeing this, Xuetu looked at the lunch box that Li Xiaolang brought out, and said with a gentle look in his eyes: "Everyone got up so early in the morning, it must be very tiring."

"No!" ×2
Looking at Sakura and Syaoran who answered in sync, Yukito chuckled, bowed slightly and said to them both at the same time: "Thank you."

Facing the smiling face of the snow rabbit, Sakura felt that all the hard work this morning was completely worth it, and the fatigue from the journey seemed to melt away like spring snow.

The same was true for Li Xiaolang. Even the hands holding the lunch bag became stronger.

"The competition is about to start, I have to go, I will do my best!" After chatting for a few words, Xuetu straightened up and said goodbye.

"Yes, I will try my best to cheer you up!" Sakura quickly replied with a slightly blushing face.

When Yukito walked away, Tomoyo chuckled and said, "He looks really good in the Kyudo uniform."

"Yeah! Brother Yukito looks good in whatever he wears." Sakura also nodded in agreement.

Li Xiaolang was about to nod when he heard this, but suddenly a slightly teasing remark came to his ears.

"Although a real man can bend and stretch, but this will break~"

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he ignored Li Xiaolang's reaction, looked at Xuetu's back and sighed, "It's true that she is very pretty. Is this the charm that attracts both men and women? Terrible."

Soon, the archery competition began as scheduled.

Because this was a small competition, not many people came to participate, and there were only about a dozen spectators.

Apart from the audience who came to cheer for people they knew, there were almost no spectators who came for the competition.
