Chapter 331 Is this a confession?
"How old is Xia, then?"

"Not much older, actually. Just about ten years older than you."

Chise is about ten years old now. He was only in his twenties before he traveled through time. Even if the four years after the time travel are included, he is not yet thirty.

Besides, a man is a boy until he dies, so he is a boy.

"Hmm... But Xia-san doesn't look like an adult at all. He even looks more like a child than us."

"..."

Xia Yu was silent again.

"How am I not like an adult?" he asked back in disbelief.

"They are not similar in any way." Tomoyo covered her mouth and chuckled.

"hateful……"

He has a childlike heart, but he is not naive, huh!

After talking it out thoroughly, the distance between the two people was shortened again. Zhishi leaned on Xia Yu's shoulder, picked up the teddy bear that Xia Yu had placed aside, and placed it side by side with his own teddy bear.

"Classmate Xia mentioned 20 years later. Does that mean that classmate Xia is the person 20 years later?"

"You can say that, but it's not the same world as it was twenty years ago. The world I used to live in is not the same world as this one."

"Parallel world?"

"No, I've said it before. In the parallel world, you are a princess, and Sakura is also a princess, but I don't exist."

"why?"

Tomoyo looked up and clenched her hands around the two teddy bears slightly.

“Because the world is different.”

Xia Yu slightly tilted his body to allow Zhishi to lean more comfortably while he himself could sit more comfortably.

"Remember the time we created the brand?"

"Creating a brand?"

Zhishi was stunned when she heard this. How could she forget that time? Because Xia Yu wrote their story in the book of creation, all of them were copied.

It was then that she discovered that although Xia Yu was writing the story of their collection of Clow Cards, he had excluded himself.

She was a little angry at that time and even questioned Xia Yu about it.

But now that this matter has been brought up specifically, it must have other meanings, just like when the spell card was mentioned before.

After thinking for a moment, Tomoyo asked in surprise: "Could it be that... Xia, have you read the story of Sakura collecting the Clow Cards?"

"Yeah, and I don't exist in that story."

Xia Yu raised his hand and used the illusion to show the cartoon clips he watched that year. Although he had almost forgotten most of the scenes, he could still reproduce the important plots combined with his personal experience.

As the cartoon clips flashed by, Xia Yu also extended his hand to introduce: "Look, this girl with purple eyes and long hair is your cartoon character, and this girl with green eyes and short hair is Sakura."

"This green hat is Li Xiaolang, and this, this... The characteristics of the cartoon characters are quite obvious, so I don't need to introduce them one by one, you can probably tell them apart."

Looking at the animated characters flashing before his eyes, Zhi Shi asked in a muffled voice: "Isn't there any Xia classmate?"

"No, it's because I didn't exist in the original story, so when I wrote the outline for the book, I didn't add myself into the story."

"what about now?"

"Now I've re-written it and added myself into it."

Hearing this, Tomoyo smiled again and murmured to himself, "No wonder Xia had different attitudes towards me and Sakura when she first came to the class. She even fell in love with Sakura from the beginning, but that kind of love was not the love between a man and a woman."

In this way, the doubts she had before can be resolved. It turns out that classmate Xia really knew them from the beginning, so his attitude towards them is different from that towards other classmates.

After thinking for a few seconds, she asked again: "Because everything that happened in this world is just a story in your original world, is that why you say the world is different?"

"Yes, I have come to this story, so the world I used to live in is definitely different from this one. Even though this world has come to an era that I am familiar with, it is not the world I used to live in after all."

After getting a definite answer, Tomoyo murmured, "Is everything that happened around me just a story in the eyes of others? I feel a little complicated."

Hearing this, Xia Yu patted Zhishi on the head and said, "Don't think too much. I am not in the original story."

"Besides, even if it's really a story, isn't it true for us? Even if what we are saying now is seen as a story by others, it is still true for us."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yu changed the subject and said, "But speaking of this, it reminds me of a sentence."

"What?"

"All encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation."

Xia Yu picked up a strand of Zhishi's hair. Zhishi's hair was dark purple with a hint of gray, unlike his, whose hair was jet black.

Playing with Chise's hair, he continued, "My encounter with you can be said to be quite in line with this statement. You know, when I first saw you, I was not even as old as you are."

Hearing this, Zhishi curled his lips and asked curiously: "So, Xia, what year were you born in?"

"The year 2000."

"what?"

Zhishi sat up straight in surprise, looked at Xia Yu in disbelief, and subconsciously asked, "Next year?"

"Yes, if we calculate according to this time, I am only negative one year old."

"..."

Zhishi was speechless for a moment. If she calculated according to this time, wouldn't she be ten years older than Xia Yu? After a few seconds, she suddenly thought of something, reached out and patted Xia Yu's shoulder, revealing a slightly cunning smile.

"Since you are only one year older than me, Xia, I am older than you now, so call me sister."

"..."

I shouldn’t have said it if I had known.

"Ahem, age is not a problem, let's not talk about it."

Xia Yu coughed lightly, then reached out again to hold Zhishi in his arms. Zhishi did not refuse, but just silently obeyed Xia Yu.

It was impossible for him to call her "sister", let alone call Tomoyo "sister". He hadn't even let Tomoyo call him brother yet.

For a moment, the two fell silent again.

They snuggled together silently, enjoying the peaceful evening and watching the sunset glow in the sky gradually fade away and then be swallowed by the darkness.

Feeling the body warmth from the beauty beside him, Xia Yu felt emotional.

When he first came here, he just wanted to come here to see Sakura and analyze the Clow Cards. He didn't expect the final outcome to be like this.

To put it more romantically, he traveled across the world to come here just to have a romance with Tomoyo.

If you are a little more narcissistic, you can even say that this is the fate arranged for them by God.

Oh my god…

Xia Yu's heart moved, and he suddenly asked: "Zhi Shi, if I suddenly disappeared one day, what would you do?"

"Hmm? Could it be that you, Xia, will suddenly disappear one day?"

"Not really. I'm just a little curious. After all, you already know me completely now, so I also want to ask you a question."

"What if..."

Zhishi arched his head against Xia Yu's chest and said in a muffled voice: "Then I will definitely be very sad. It may take a long time for me to recover. Maybe I will not get over the sadness until I grow up. Maybe I will miss you until I die."

"You put a lot of pressure on me..."

"Xia, will you suddenly return to your own world without any warning one day?"

"No." Xia Yu shook his head.

After all, according to general time-travel writing, unless it is an infinite flow, basically the story will be settled directly in the world you travel to, and his situation is probably the same.

Secondly, even if he suddenly returned to the original world, as long as the system was still on him and his connection with this world was not interrupted, he would be able to break through the gap between the worlds and come back sooner or later.

Since he has traveled through time, he must have established a connection with this world, and this connection will never disappear easily.

"Since you don't know, then don't say anything more."

"What should I do if you put it like that?"

"Then tell me."

"...Just object a little. You are so gentle. What if I bully you in the future?"

"Wow, then I can only blame myself for meeting the wrong person. This is all my own fault. I can't blame classmate Xia."

"..."

Xia Yu was silent again. It seemed that he had been silent too many times today.

"Don't be like this, I was wrong." He sighed softly. If he had known, he would not have been so talkative.

Zhishi chuckled, then suddenly sat up straight, looked directly into Xia Yu's eyes and said seriously, "Xia Jun, if I like you, I will not stop liking you just because you suddenly disappear or leave."

"I like you. Even if the world changes, even if you change your gender, even if you are no longer the same as you are now, I will still like you."

"Tomoyo..."

"what happened?"

"Is this a confession?"

"Yeah, would you?"

"Of course I am willing, but I didn't expect that you were the one who confessed first, and I was the one being confessed to, so..." Xia Yu smiled slightly and opened his arms towards Zhishi.

"I also want to confess. If this is a book, I like you and you like me as well, then this ending is the most perfect ending of the book. Are you willing to work with me to continue writing this perfect ending?"

"I am willing."

Chishi smiled, felt her heart pounding, and threw herself towards Xia Yu with open arms.

Xia Yu also took Zhishi into his arms. After holding her quietly for half a minute, he let go of Zhishi and reached out to take the milky white teddy bear doll that Zhishi had sewed from the side of the bench.

The little bear doll looked just as cute as Tomoyo. Looking at the little bear, he chuckled and said, "So, I'll name this little bear "Tomoyo" ok?"

Seeing this, Zhi Shi also reached out and took the little bear doll that Xia Yu had sewn, and said with a smile: "Then, I will name this little bear "Yu Jun". "

"Yu Jun? Come to think of it, you didn't call me Xia classmate just now. It seemed like you called me Xia Jun?"

"Yeah, don't you like it, Xia Jun?"

"No, I'd be honored."

　I actually really want to see what would happen if Xia Yu failed to overcome the hurdle in his heart and rejected Zhi Shi at this time? Fortunately, I am the author, so I can write it myself because I want to see it. I decided to take advantage of my working hours to write the if line, that is, the rejection line, and I will probably be able to publish it in the evening.
