Chapter 330 Not That Old

"Hey - why are you so stubborn?"

Seeing Li Xiaolang lowering his head and saying nothing, Xia Yu simply reached out and patted Li Xiaolang on the shoulder.

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Look here."

After being slapped by Xia Yu, Li Xiaolang subconsciously turned his head to look, and then a finger suddenly appeared in front of him. Then he felt a pain on his forehead and his head tilted back involuntarily.

The next second, his eyes became blank, he closed his eyes, lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.

After a brain explosion caused Li Syaoran to fall into a dream, Xia Yu withdrew his hand. In order to make Li Syaoran see his own heart clearly, he directly used his ability to enter dreams to make him recall everything that had happened since he met Sakura until now.

After all, verbal words are not as real as seeing it with your own eyes. Just like him, he only understood his own feelings after seeing the dream card.

Looking at Li Xiaolang who was immersed in his dream, Xia Yu patted his butt, stood up and prepared to leave.

The dream will not end for a while, and after Li Xiaolang wakes up, it will be a good time for him to be alone for a while.

I believe that after experiencing the baptism of dreams, this boy will be able to see clearly into his heart and know who he truly loves.

If you can't see clearly...

He also has Dream 2, Dream 3... and the final illusion series. After a few of them, this kid will definitely be able to face his own inner feelings.

If you still can’t…

It doesn't matter, he still has physical means.

Xia Yu just let his thoughts wander and slowly left the place, leaving Li Xiaolang alone lying on the lawn.

The school was very quiet today, and nothing unusual happened until the end of the day.

Li Xiaolang also rushed back to the classroom a few minutes before the end of lunch break. Xia Yu didn't know whether he had figured it out or not, but judging from his expression, he still looked a little confused, so he must be about to figure it out.

Now all we need is an opportunity. After all, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. This opportunity probably lies with Sakura.

After thinking for a while, Xia Yu shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Forget it, it was someone else's emotional matter anyway, so he should think about himself first.

After all, he still has to face Tomoyo in the afternoon.

Ok……

Take a deep breath and don't stress.

……

After school, on the way home.

Tomoyo and Sakura walked side by side. Today was a rare day for them to walk together as only the two of them were going home together.

Xiaoying also took the opportunity to talk about what happened at noon today, including how Xia Yu helped her modify the teddy bear doll.

"So, Xia only asked you one question?"

"Yeah, he asked me what love really meant, and I told him that love is love, and then he seemed to let go of something."

"Does liking mean liking?"

Tomoyo chuckled and said, "That's a very Sakura-style answer."

"Hehe~ But it seems that Xia also made a teddy bear doll. I wonder who he plans to give it to."

At this point, Sakura looked at Tomoyo and asked, "I also know the person that Xia said he likes, but I know so many people, and Xia has a good relationship with everyone. Tomoyo, can you guess who Xia likes?"

"The person that Xia likes..."

Zhi Shi narrowed his eyes, trying not to laugh, and said, "I don't know either, but Xia is so lively, so the person he likes must be as lively as him."

"Lively?"

Sakura had no doubts and didn't even consider the possibility that Tomoyo was lying to her. She thought for a moment and murmured, "But I can't think of anyone more lively than Xia..."

"Berry Bell? But she's already gone back? Then who could it be?"

Seeing Sakura pondering, Tomoyo smiled and said, "Since you can't guess, just wait. Sakura will know it in the future."

"Later? Okay."

Xiaoying nodded blankly. After a few seconds, she seemed to remember something and said, "Come to think of it, Li was a little strange today."

"Classmate Li?"

"Yeah, during lunch break, he saw me and suddenly ran away."

"Did something happen?"

"I don't know, but his face was very red."

Hearing this answer, the puzzled Chishi smiled, as if he understood something, and chuckled: "I see, Li blushed because he saw you."

"Then why do you run away when you see me?"

Seeing that Sakura hadn't reacted until now, Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Sakura, you are really slow. Mr. Li has worked so hard."

"what?"

"Fortunately, although Xia is worried, he is not slow."

"Huh? Why are you talking about classmate Xia again?"

Tomoyo didn't answer, but just smiled in a good mood, which made Sakura even more confused.

……

Time passed slowly and the sun set.

Park, bench.

The glow of dusk seems to cover the world with a layer of golden gauze, making everything look soft and warm.

Xia Yu sat alone on the bench, took out his teddy bear doll, and gently stroked the furry surface of the doll with his fingertips.

He checked the teddy bear doll carefully several times. There were no problems with the details and no loose threads at the stitching. It was a pretty perfect doll.

Although he knew in his heart that the doll in his hand was perfect, he couldn't help but want to check it again, fearing that there was something imperfect.

"Xia, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Suddenly, a voice that made him expectant yet nervous sounded. He turned around and saw Chi Shizheng, who had changed into casual clothes, walking towards him.

Looking at Chise with a gentle smile on her face, somehow, his originally nervous mood gradually disappeared. When the breeze blew, his originally serious sitting posture unconsciously relaxed.

"It didn't take long. I just got here."

Xia Yu shook his head slightly. He was not lying. Before coming here, in order to keep himself in the best condition, he dressed up a little, but he was not satisfied with the way he dressed.

Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, he didn't care about anything else and had to hurried to the meeting place.

Zhishi, who was walking over, heard this, smiled, and sat down next to Xia Yu. He put his bag on his knees and took out a teddy bear from it.

The doll is milky white, exactly the opposite color of the doll in Xia Yu's hand. It has a red ribbon tied around its neck, making it look like it is wearing a red scarf.

For a moment, the two held their dolls in their hands and did not speak. After a few seconds, Zhi Shi looked at his little bear doll and asked, "Xia, have you overcome the hurdle in your heart?"

"I think I've moved on from this, because I suddenly realized that thinking too much is not good. As the saying goes, "It's rare to be confused." In simple terms, it means that you don't need to be too fussy about everything."

The autumn evening breeze blew, and Xia Yu felt the cool breeze brushing across his body and subconsciously let out a breath.

He was clearly very nervous before coming here, and even imagined various situations and answers, but when this scene actually came, he found that there was actually nothing to be nervous about.

This casual conversation was far beyond the imagination he had in his mind before he came here.

"I was thinking about helping Xia, but by the time I saw it, Xia had already stepped over it on his own."

Zhishi stroked the little bear doll in his hand, turned his head to look at Xia Yu and smiled gently, "Xia classmate is actually not from this era, so when we first met, I always felt that there was a sense of alienation from you. At first, I thought it was just Xia classmate's loneliness in a foreign country."

"You guessed it."

Hearing this, Xia Yu chuckled and sighed, "After all, I know that I can be a bit outspoken sometimes, and I have thought about the day when I would be guessed, but I didn't expect that the first person I guessed would be you."

"Well, isn't Xia worried that your secret will be discovered?"

"Don't worry."

Xia Yu chuckled and said, "After all, I know how to erase memories. If anyone discovers my secret, I will go straight to their door and delete their memory."

"Oh my, so classmate Xia is going to delete my memory?"

"Maybe when we first met, but it's impossible now."

"why?"

"Because I already like you."

Zhishi's eyebrows curved and he smiled and said, "It seems that Xia has really let go of the grudge in his heart."

"Can I still lie to you?"

Zhishi didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously. She was now basically certain that Xia Yu had really let go of the grudge in his heart.

But in fact, she still doesn't understand the grudge until now. She only guessed that Xia Yu is not from this era.

She had thought that the grudge in Xia Yu's heart was that he would sooner or later leave this era that did not belong to him, so he could not fall in love with her who belonged to this era.

But if he would leave and return to his own time sooner or later, why did he look so lonely during the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival? And why did he say that he could not go back?

There were too many contradictions for her to figure out, but at this moment she no longer needed to think about them.

All she needed to know was that they were in love with each other.

"What are you thinking about?"

Xia Yu, who was standing by, saw Zhishi squinting his eyes and raising the corners of his mouth, and asked with a little curiosity.

"I'm wondering what the obstacle in classmate Xia's heart is?" Although he didn't have to think about it, Zhishi was still a little curious.

"It's nothing."

Xia Yu shook his head, put his teddy bear aside, put his arms on the back of the chair, and raised his head to look at the dim afterglow that was spreading across the sky.

When Zhishi saw this, his eyes moved slightly and he subconsciously moved towards Xia Yu's position.

Xia Yu didn't notice Zhi Shi's little move, but said, "Do you remember the conversation we had when the spell cards were popular last year?"

"Spell card..."

Zhishi lowered her head and pondered. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind and she remembered the conversation with Xia Yu at that time.

They seemed to have discussed the topic of love at that time. Xia Yu had always emphasized that love was related to age, while she retorted that love had nothing to do with age.

She also asked Xia Yu a question at that time: If one day you fall in love with someone, but there is a big age gap between you, will you give up?

At that time, Xia Yu did not refute, and said that the prerequisite for love is that both parties have mature cognition. If one party is too young or has not even formed his or her own values, then that kind of love is wrong.

age……

Thinking back to this, Zhishi pursed her lips. It turned out that classmate Xia had already expressed his grudge, but she had never thought about it that way.

After a moment of silence, she said, "So, Xia, you are actually older than you are now?"

"Yeah, so when I think about liking you, I feel guilty. How can an adult like a child? This is absolutely wrong."

"..."

Zhi Shi was silent after hearing this. She wanted to refute, but found that she couldn't refute. Is this wrong? No, this is absolutely correct.

If an adult falls in love with a child, it is definitely not love but deception.

Because children's three views have not yet been formed, they are easily influenced by the outside world. An adult can deceive a child who is ignorant of the world with just a little effort.

"I am not a child who knows nothing about the world."

"I know."

Xia Yu looked down at Zhishi, who had almost leaned into his arms at some point, raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his hand, put it on Zhishi's head and rubbed it.

"Otherwise I wouldn't be here."

If he had only seen clearly into his own heart, he would not have accepted his feelings for Tomoyo. It was because he knew that Tomoyo was not an ordinary girl that he chose to accept her.

In the original work, Tomoyo is a person who can say something like "I hope the person I like can be happy more than we love each other."

How could someone with such an open-minded view of love be an ordinary little girl?

Besides...

"Didn't you notice? The first sentence of my statement actually made it clear." Xia Yu lowered his head and chuckled.

Zhi Shi heard this and murmured softly, "The premise of love is that both parties have mature cognition. If one party is too young and has not even formed his own values, then that kind of love is wrong."

"In other words, if both parties have mature cognition and have formed their own values, there will be no problem with such a relationship, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Yu nodded. In fact, he could have responded to Zhishi when Zhishi expressed her love to him. The reason why he was still entangled until now was that he could not get over the hurdle in his heart.

It wasn't until the dream card woke him up and Sakura told him that if he liked someone, that he finally broke free from the shackles he had put on himself.

That’s right, if he likes it, then why should he think so much about it?

"So you could have responded to me a long time ago, but you kept dragging it on until now?" Zhishi raised his head and stared at Xia Yu with burning eyes.

"..."

Xia Yu remained silent. As expected, he was discovered after all.

"Xia, you are so resisting yourself, could it be that you are actually a grandfather in his seventies or eighties?"

Zhishi asked curiously, and then said: "It doesn't matter, even if Xia is an old grandfather, I still like you.

"…I'm not that old. I've never even been in a relationship. Grandpa is a bit too much."
