Chapter 350 Alice in Wonderland

"It was an incredible feeling, I must have become as small as the person in the telescope."

"Alice was right. She became only ten inches smaller. When she thought about how she had become as small as the door leading to the beautiful garden, her mood suddenly improved."

Downstairs of the teaching building, by the bench.

The voice of Sakura reading a story was echoing softly here. There was no listener. She was reading to herself while being immersed in the story.

Because it was Book Week not long ago, in order to write a good book review, she is trying to use her free time to read books as much as possible.

But because she reads very slowly and it takes her a long time to finish a book, she has not yet finished the book to this day.

"After a while she heard footsteps in the distance, and looking in the direction of them she saw a neatly dressed white rabbit, with a white leather glove on one hand, and a large fan in the other..."

"Alice said in a very low voice as the white rabbit approached, "Excuse me..."

After reading this, Sakura withdrew her mind from the story, raised her head, exhaled, closed her eyes and relaxed.

After reading for so long, she was a little tired.

"Here, you can use this as a bookmark."

Suddenly, a voice was heard in the front. Sakura opened her eyes and saw Elio had appeared in front of her at some point, handing her a leaf.

"Thank you."

Sakura smiled slightly, reached out to take the leaf, and casually placed it on the position of the paragraph she had just read.

Seeing this, Elio smiled and said, "Sakura, what are you reading?"

"this."

Sakura casually closed the book and showed the cover to Elio. The cover was very simple, with only the title of the book and the author's name.

"Alice in Wonderland."

"Have you seen it, too?"

"Yeah, I saw it a long time ago."

"This book is interesting, isn't it? It gets smaller and bigger." Sakura casually opened the book and said as she looked at the illustrations inside.

"Yeah, it's very interesting."

Elio squinted his eyes and chuckled. Looking at Sakura who was immersed in the story, he suddenly said, "Sakura, do you want to be Alice? This experience of growing bigger and smaller looks very interesting."

"Uh...but it sounds equally hard."

Sakura shook her head. It would be troublesome whether she became bigger or smaller. The current size would be enough.

"By the way, this is a story set in England. Elio used to live in England, right?"

"Yes."

"What kind of place is England?"

"It often rains and fogs there, but there are also many ancient buildings. I like it there very much."

After he finished speaking, Elio looked at the book in Sakura's hand again and smiled, "There are many courtyards and buildings like the ones in this book, and they look just as warm."

Listening to Elio's introduction, Sakura imagined the illustrations and couldn't help but smile. "It sounds great. I really want to go see it."

"I'll take you there."

"Eh?"

"To Alice in Wonderland."

Sakura blinked at Elio's meaningful words, seemingly unable to understand what they meant.

Looking at Sakura's dazed expression, Elio's smile rose again, and he seemed very happy.

not far away.

Tomoyo, Xia Yu, and Li Xiaolang were secretly sticking their heads out from the wall at the corner, watching what was happening on the bench. After hearing the conversation between Elio and Sakura, Tomoyo came out from the corner, stroked his face with one hand and said, "This scene feels really good."

"Yeah, the two of them seem to be a good match." Xia Yu put one hand on Li Xiaolang's shoulder and added with a smile.

Li Xiaolang, who was frowning, heard Zhishi and Xia Yu's words, and his expression gradually became ferocious.

"Alice in Wonderland must be referring to England. So, Hiiragi-san will introduce Sakura to his family."

"If they meet their family, their relationship will definitely be further developed. Oreo is planning to take the initiative."

"Given Sakura's personality, she might not refuse..."

Before Zhishi could finish his words, Li Xiaolang could no longer suppress his emotions and rushed over angrily.

Looking at Li Xiaolang's impulsive back, Zhishi smiled and said, "It's going to get lively again."

Hearing this, Xia Yu chuckled and said, "You are really bad, Zhishi, for adding fuel to the fire."

"Haha~ Same with you, Xia Jun."

……

In the afternoon, it’s class meeting time.

in class.

"Have you finished reading the books you selected so far this week?"

"I've finished reading it!"
Hearing the students' answers, Terada Yoshiyuki smiled and said again: "Then don't forget to write your reading experience. I am looking forward to seeing your reading experience."

"Okay!"
After saying these things, Yoshiyuki Terada said no more, and left the rest of the time for the students to read freely.

Soon, the school bell rang and it was time to go home.

In the back row, Sakura, who still hadn't finished reading Alice in Wonderland, stretched, put the leaf bookmark that Elio gave her back into the page, and closed the book.

But before she could put the book into her bag, Tomoyo next to her suddenly looked over and asked, "Xiaoying, have you finished reading the book you chose?"

"Not yet, so I plan to go to the library to continue reading later."

Sakura shook her head, raised the book in her hand to show it to Tomoyo, and continued: "This book is very interesting, what about you Tomoyo?"

"I'm almost done, just the last bit left."

While answering, Tomoyo also showed Sakura the book she was reading, which was "Complete Collection of Japanese Long Literature·VIII" which was about ten centimeters thick.

Seeing such a thick book, Xiaoying was stunned and subconsciously said in surprise: "What a thick book."

"This book is very interesting, Sakura, do you want to take a look?"

"I, I'd better forget it. I read very slowly. I may not be able to finish such a thick book this semester."

Sakura smiled awkwardly and rejected Tomoyo's recommendation. As expected of Tomoyo, the books she reads are so great.

After taking her eyes off the thick book, Xiaoying looked at Xia Yu's position curiously and asked, "What book is Xia reading?"

"The book I read?"

Xia Yu, who was packing his schoolbag, heard this and casually picked up the books that were not yet in the bag and showed them to Xiaoying.

Seeing the English title on the cover, Sakura was stunned and managed to spell out: "Harry Potter and the... Sorry, I don't know the words after that."

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is a fantasy novel that was just released in the UK this summer. There is no translated version yet, so I read the original English version."

"Amazing!"

Sakura exclaimed in surprise that classmate Xia’s English was so good that he started reading the original English version. She couldn’t even read the title of the book fluently.

"Of course. After all, I am a genius who is proficient in multiple languages." Xia Yu smiled proudly. Even if he is a genius with cheats, he is still a genius.
